Rradotreet's Weekly Review of Trade this week will say: Midwinter condition sre a bar to growth In spring trade and interfere greatly with transportation and outdoor activities gen erally. Still a fair Increase of ouslneea la noted In lobbing circle at leading western and Bouthweatern centers and the bet week's Jobbing business o far thla yrar la reported at leading eastern markets. The leellng la that while soring trade will be later than a year ago, this drawback caif be largely oflset If good weather wuper venea later. .... Conalderable doubt still exist an to the effect of the most severe winter In recent years upon tho wheat crop planted lat fall, but definite Information must await the appearance of warmer weather. While favorable to some lines, notably coal and heavy winter wearing apparel, the general effect of the unbroken cold wcaiher upon InouKtrv Is not favorable. Railway) earnings in January showed the rlrat decrease reported since February. lHCo, and the first decrease reported in January since 1497. Bank t'luarliis tor th week, broken a It has been by the holidays, make a poor liowln. Importunt luilur-s are more Important till week, small banki and Insurance companies, the latter at Halllmore, contributing largely. Money li. tenued to slightly harden. War influences out u large figure In th course of prices, which, with few excep tions, has been upward. Flour, wheat, torn, oats and pork all made new high records, thoae of wheat and Hour belrtg tne highest reached since 1I)3, and tea, butter, tin and copper also advanced, though not In all cases owing to present or threatened hostilities. Cotton and coffee were con spicuous exception to the general advance, but this waa due to the advance of liquida tion under way for onie time, and pig Iron weakened as the result of backward de mand, enlarged production and increasing locks. Pry goods, shoes and millinery note the first symptoms of spring activity at Chi cago and St. Louis, and while those cities report mily moderate activity, Kamas City mid Omaha are rather more confident. Bt. IaiuU clothing men report business equal to a ear ago. Tunnem have all the busi ness they ran handle, and cheap furniture is very active, presumably tu preparation tor the great fair. Cold weather holds back trade at the northwest and It is still rather quiet on the I'.icillc coast, although good ;all.s Pi 'i.llf'irnU and expected large bu'lners wl'.h Alaska help the outlook. Southern 1 repara tions for a large crop of cotton, torn and lice help trade In fertilisers, farm Imple ment and supplies of kindred lines. Oroe eilea and provisions are aiso active nt jobliere. business' is generally better than a ear ago In the '.outh as a whole. At the east the shoe trade seems rather quiet. The jobbing dry goods trade has picked up well at New loik uud llostou this week. What Is described as a fair tr.ule Is doing In dry goods at Clil 'ufco and HI. Louis. Nothing like the activity of a year alio is reportable a yet, but weather condi tions insy be responsible for this. Stock market activity at New York Is restricted. Depiessiiig tendencies from abroad, com bined with poor railroad earnings and In activity 4n trade due to the prolonged winter affect advices unfavorably. Kust money checks liquidation and result In a gp-'culuUve deadlJ k. attention being 111 1 1 nl y flven to the provision and cotton markets, nvstiiient demands for Income securities are fair, apart Irom the cbsence of do. mauds Ironi insurance corporations on ac ccoiii of the Hu'.tlmore fire.

INVESTIGATE BOARD'S DELAY Committf from Oonccil Ioqi're Into Tardy Action of Members, WRIGHT CALLS' IT DISGRACE TO CITY ternly Rehnke I.obeck anil W 1 1 li ar 1 1 for Slot tilnptlnx Spcelltea tlon So rating tan He Done, "Your conduct is becoming s disgrace to the city," declared City Attorney Wright yesterday, addressing City Comptroller Lo beck and Building Inspector Wlthnell, as majority members of the Board of Public Work, In a vain endeavor to get them to agree with City Engineer Kosewater, the third member of the board, as to paving specifications. An official investigation a to why delays have been caused in the submission of pav ing specifications by the Board of Public Work has been ordered by the mayor and council. Sessions will begin this morning In a committee room at the city hall, Coun cllmen Nicholson, Hoye and 8"roeder sit ting as a special committee. Witnesses will be called upon to testify tinder oath and a tenographlc record will be taken. Councilman Nicholson, who Introduced the resolution. Is chairman of the commit tee. He say ulterior Influences have been operating upon the majority member of the Board of Public Works and It will be the object of the Inquiry to make plain Just what they are. After a tumultuous meeting of the board yesterday afternoon, at which the majority member, Comptroller Lobeck and Build ing Inspector Wlthnell, refused to act upon tho work of Chairman Roycwater, the coun cil met and adopted the resolution calling for the Inquiry, only Back and Schroeder voting against It The document was hnnded Immediately to Mayor Moore, who was present, and he signed It. Councilman Schroeder stated he would be out of the city until t o'clock thl nfternoon. but Chairman Nicholson announced tho sitting would begin promptly at 10 o'clock today snd be con tinued a long as necessary. Text of the Resolution. The text of the resolution la: Resolved, by the city council of the city of Omaha, the mayor concurring. That n committee of three, to be composed of councllmpn, to be appointed bv the presi dent of the council, be appointed for the tiurpone of Investlpntlng the cause of the delay In tho adoption of paving specifica tions by the Board of Publln Work, and said commltteo I hereby given full power to subpoena and swear any and all wit nesses that may be desired before said committee, s.ild witnesses to testify tinder oath a to the knowledge of their prepara tion of snld specification. And said com mittee is hereby Instructed to meet at 10 o'clock . m. on Saturday, the 20th of Feb ruary, 1904, with power to continue it ses sions dally until thev are ready to rpport; and said committee I authorised and em powered to employ a stenogranher to take down the evidence before, snld eommlttpp. a transcript of which Bhall be transmitted to the council with the report of said com mittee. At the meeting of the board the majority member disregarded the request nf John C. Wharton, speaking a a taxpayer; City Attorney Wright and City Engineer Rose water to take up the specification section by section and vote upon them, and re fused to act. Lobeck had the meeting ad journed until 10 o'clock Monday morning, when he said he would be ready with the change and authorities for them that he desired. When asked the direct question by Attorney Wright as to why he would not proceed then and there in open ses sion he had no answer. Both City Attorney Wright and Mr. Wharton pleaded at length with the ma jority member, but to no avail. Let It Smell, ay Lobeck. "Gentlemen," said the attorney, "don't delay this matter any longer. It is now a question of public notoriety and if you don't be careful it will smell so loud that the state won't hold It." "Well, let it smell," retorted Lobeck. Chairman Rosewater openly accused both tho other member of having had confer ences with certain contractor yesterday morning and said he could prove his state ments if called upon to do io. They were not denied, Wlthnell remarking merely that It was no more than Kosewater had done with other contractors. Later in the meeting, which was full of loud talking and accusations, Chilrram Kosewater rose to his feet and declared vehemently: "Any man who says that the Barber Asphalt company had anything to do with these specifications stales what is a de liberate lie!'' "Well, I say so," tesponded Wlthnell de llnntly, and Attorney Wright Interposed to save the dignity and decorum of the boar A The board waa proceeding to coolly dis regard the specifications which the en gineur had prepared after long consulta tion with Attorney Wright, by speclil or ders of the council, when Mr. Wright ured action upon them. DISK race to the (It r. The majority members, however, con tinued the temporizing methods. They aro democrats, and so Is Attorney Wright, but this fact seemed to havs no Influence over the speech of the attorney. "It will be a matter of deep regret, gen tlemen, if you do not act today," he suld. "Your conduct has becomo a perfect dis grace to the city, and the people are de manding to know why this board cannot get together and decide these questions like bUElnesa men. You, Mr. Lobeck, spent al most an entire day in my office suggesting changes and going over the specifications, and every one has been made, with one or two trifling exceptions." I.obeck tried to show that he had been basely deceived and that several pages had Oeen added to the document wince his Inspection, but both Attornles Wrignt and Herdnian flatly contradicted him. Mr. Wharton explained that he wi:s a property owner at Twentieth and Chicago at nets a 'id for three years tiiu citizens In terested have been trying to get Twenteih street, which is in bud condition, pave J. lie spoke in high terms of tbi ability and integrity of the city engineer and said he had implicit -and unreserved confidence in Mr. Wright. , In Justice to the taxpayers, he urged that the majority members of th board accept the combined work of these two men one a legal expert and the other an expert in engineering and enable the peo ple to put themselves In a position where they can have streets tit to travel upon. "Whether or not you have been try.r.g to serve certain contractors," he saJd, "ihe actions of this board have beet me notorious and the people all over the city are dis cussing It. Now, why not take up these specifications snd act upon them fairly and openly and say to the contractors 'keep your hands off?' Why do you nfd to wait until next weik?" Ills question brought nothing that could be termed an answer. City Engineer Rosewater, after the coun cil had ordered an Inquiry, said: "1 knew nothing about this resolution or Its object until I heard it read before the council. I am ready and willing to assist the committee in any way possible and. am gratified that the investigation is to be made. I hope, only, that it will be thor ough and searching." , Kid farter Defeated by Gardner. MI LWAl'K EE.
