Cattio Omaha fts.0ivu.60 BHEKP After the big run of 107 cars yeaterday, today's receipts looked like tha next thing to nothing. Conaldorlng the lame run yenterday, ihe market waa In exceedingly good ehnpe, buyers taking hold freely and paying very good prices for the dealrable killers. With liaht receipts In sight this morn ing, and with the demand still good, buyers were out early and It did not take them very long to clean up the moat of the offerings. The prices paid ranged any where from strong to 10c higher. In other words, whatever weakness was developed In yetaerday's market was fully made up today, thla, too, In the face of the fact that the Chicago market wis posted as alow and weak, with the receipts only 13,0m.

Beef steers were alow and dull packers evidently feeling that they were enutled to -itttle conueaxion with the result that they were generally bidding lower. While the oftertngs were not very large It took some little time for buyers and sellers to get together, but the cattle were finally old at prices anywhere from steady to a little lower. Cows and heifers were In fair demand and tha market on the desirable kinds at least steady with yesterday. While the trad waa not exactly what might be called active there -was enough movement to ef feot a oiearanoe of llie most of the cattls In reasonable season.

Awll 1 The stock market Was effected today by the pace at which the. recovery has been going from the ex treme depression of the first part of last week. A disposition to take profits on the considerable recovery which has occurred Is coincident with a leavened Inclination to buy stocks. the sustsinlng measures which have been apparent for several days past were not entirely withdrawn, however, and the Con sequence was a halting and Irregular move ment 01 prices wnich testined to tne con flict of furces In the market. The conflict relapsed more and more Into professional hands and the quotations Increased In dull ness. The measures of support In the mar ket Were particularly effective against the unfavorable Influence of the fall in prices In London. The prices made In London early today after a triple holiday were much higher than where they left on Thursday and the tone was firm. Those early prices In London were regarded as largely nominal and the sunnort In the local market here had no difficulty In UcD, uii 4s! ,4 fnl-ioiia well uver ihi iiigm level. The aggressive strength of a few stocks hud a large sympathetic Influence on this reault. It was from this realorod level of the market that the movement be came wavering and uncertain again. There was no Immediate development In affairs to account tor tnis action and it was at tributed largely to technical causes. The large covering operations by the bear party for several days past have served to reduce greatly the outstanding short interest In the market which deprives the market of a Jiotent demand for strength. Buyers dur ing the depression appeared as sellers to laae prorlts. Home attention was paid to the course of tha newa from vhlnufon and some part of the heaviness In the Har- nman stocks was attributed to the senti mental effect of the position of antagouUm between the president and the head of that system revealed bv rjubllcatinna durlnir tha day. The professed confidence of a party 11 mo iecuiaiiun yesteroay tnat tne pres ident's utterance on government policy to-w-ards railroads would abate all alarm on the subject in financial markets waa not o active a factor in the situation. The most notable developments of the day were In the money markets. The re laxation there was marked and practically universal both here and abroad. In London the private discount rate yielded to below the bank rate for the first time In many weeks. New York bar it era awnnvl tosim. OW of gold In London without bidding higher moil mo prevailing rate. The effect was pronounced, however nn tha .In.lln. " change market here, which rebounded vio lently. Sales of securities here for for e gn account added to the demand for for eign exchange. The relapse in loeal money rates also affected foreign exchange. The funds offering In time loans were notably Increased and a 6H per cent rate waa quoted for all periods. Borrowers were lit tle Inclined to employ time loans with call loans fast yielding to almost nominal figures. These conditions helped to the LlLT. ,7,cov!!7. l1 stocks. Very confident predictions that the Atchison dividend rate would be raised to 8 per cent tomorrow put up the price of that stock. The day's net changes showed declines predominating heavy ng ot tb mrket was rather Bonds were more benefitted by the rising money market than stocks and there was an appearance of a considerable absorptive demand at rising prices.

NO LIMIT TO RESOURCES OF ISLAND U Relieves Within Few Years Cubans Will Demand hy Popular Vote Annexation to I'nlted State. Thomaa II. Ay res of Pierre, B. D., la In Omaha on his return from a visit ot several week In Cuba. Mr. Ayres la a well known real estate man of South Dakota and le largely Interested In ranch ing In that state and la well known in Omaha. "Th purpose of my visit to Cuba wst with a view to Investing In land there and to study conditions from th ground floor," said Mr. Ayres. "I do not wish to speak as an Investor In Cuban properties, but merely as an observer. "I can say I do not think our American people realise the Commercial Importance of Cuba to us. It Is California, brought to our very doors. No land In the world cart or does produce a better or greater variety of citrus fruit. The soil of Cuba Is work' Ing for you during the entire twelve months of the year. Of course you have heard and read all about the climate, which Is that of perpetual spring and summen Water can be obtained at from fifteen to twenty feet In the greatest abundance ahd tt Is the best and sweetest water In the world. While there Is not any very great need of Irrigation In Cuba, the whole coun try Is easily susceptible of Irrlgntlon. Everything except apples and winter wheat, ' that grows In Nebraska con be abundantly raised In the Island. They are beginning to raise little patches of com, and whlla corn can never become much of an ex porting product sufficient of tt can be raised, for home consumption, and Is raised. Ho Limit to Resource, "Every species of garden vegetable known to the temperate latitudes can b raised there all the year round. This la particularly tru of tomatoes and all ' of our early vegetables and fruits, and. It re quires but from three to four days to ship them to the most distant of our Atlantlo seaports, while the western trade can be , supplied through Pensacola, New Orleans and Galveston from one to two days earlier. 'The business Is largely In the hands of the old Spaniards and, strange to say, they are the most ardent American annexation ists. Of course, there Is a strong revolu tionary spirit prevalent in the island. But the motive that actuatea that spirit Is not understood by us her at home. For centuries Cuba has been gov erned by an official class tnat has .mad fabulous fortunes by Incessant and merci less graft. The native, working Cuban ha had this fact so burned Into his soul that he has little confidence In polltlos. They have been ' plundered and taxed so long with no apparent reciprocal results that they look upon a political campaign aim ply a a game for the outs to get In, so that they can get their hands Into the publlo treasury to enrich themselves. They believe that the lost Cuban government was one of th graft order and the present campaign la to put honest and upright men into office and to see that they die-, charge their duties honestly and for tha benefit of th whole country. If they do not, another revolution Is aura to come. Majority Are Enthusiastic. "Tha mass of Cubans are Industrious, bard working people. They know the capa bilities of the Island and want to see It do It best. They are proud and would prefer to run their own government, but would even prefer annexation to grafting officials. "Tha Cuban railroads are owned largely by the English and th Germans are get ting a tootnoiu in too country in a com mercial way. Of course a great many American interest are centering in Cuba, but the Cuban still ha a suspicion that America la scheming to forcibly annex th island and may confiscate th lands not al ready under private ownership and make serfs of the poorer classes. However, thla sentiment, which Is fostered wholly by the antl-annexatlonlsts, ts gradually dying out and I believe that In a few years the Cubans- will by a popular vote declare for annexation to the United State."
