London.
NEW TORK, Jan. 27. The violent con
tortions in the piioe movement of stocks
w hich have been the characteristic of the
eek-s mark. had another Illustration
today. Yesterday's sudden recovery was
wiped out for the moat pert and prices of
some of the principal lending stocks were
established at lower records than In the
demoralisation of Tueeday. The only news
cited to acoount for the heavy selling waa
the French disaster by flood. French
bankers eetlmatee of the minimum losses,
according to cabled reports, were placed st
$100,000,000, while the government official
estimate was reported as high aa $200,000,
000. These figures, appealing aa they are
to the sense of humanity, do not offer
adequate explanation for any great dis
location of economic and financial agencies.
The accepted Indexes of the conditions of
such agencies, outside the New York stock
market, did not. In fact, mirror any great
apprehension of serious da.ma.ge.
Some of the day's selling of stocks In
New York was reported to be for fore! en
account, but there was nothing to show
mat mesa aaies were In unusual propor
tion to the whole. Prices of Americana
In I-ondork, before the New York stock
market opened, were higher generally than
yesterdays last prices In New York, and
tne nnrt dealings here momentarily re
sponded to that ex&mnle.
The more general apprehension of the
forces at work in the day's stock market
was of an organised hear party which
took advantage of the dying down of de
mand of yeeterday's recovered prices to
put out fresh short lines and to offer
prices down with great aggreealveness. Not
much opposition was apparent to these
operations, the market suffering from the
entire absence, apparently, of any sup
porting measure. There was a great con
gestion of activity In the most highly
speculative stocks In the list, all of them,
however, of properties of first Importance.

4j IiiIa there appear to be no very not
able Improvement In t.heep and anth val
ues yesterday and totiay, the tone to the
trade Is much more encouraging to selling
interests and the. greater freedom of move
ment promises more or less of a reaction
In values during the next few days. Still,
the trade Is In no condition to hold up
under liberal receipts and feeders will do
well to keep a pretty close tnb upon sup
plies. Current quotations on both sheep

CATTLE With moderate receipts, favor
able advices from eastern markets, Im
proved weather conditions and a butter
general demand, tho market today was In
strong contrast with the trade during the
first two days of the week and prices for
beef steers were unevenly higher all
around. The improvement of yesterday
and today regains more than half of the
heavy decline of Monday and Tuesday and
fat cattle are now selling well up to closing
quotations of last week.
The Improvement in beef steers was also
evident In the market for cows and heifers
and the trade was active, with prices
stronger all along the line. In addition to
the usual good demand from local packers,
there was a very fair Inulry from outside
butchers, particularly tor the desirable
?rades, and the movement was brisk all
urenoon, an early clearance being made.
Values In general for both butcher stock
and canners are not far from where they
were at the close of last week.
.Yesterday's dullness In stockers and feed
ers seems to have been only temporary and
both yard traders and country buyers were
out early after the few fresh loads thnt
were offered today. Prices ruled stronger
all along the line, and while the volume of
business was rather smell, the undertone
to the trade was decidedly flruu, and clos
ing quotations for the week will show some
advance over the close of last week.

reacted under the influence of a healthy
demand and active competition. About luu
louds.hHU been yarded up until 11 o'clock,
or In other words, the big bulk of recelpta
arrived In tune for the nijiitlng's trudu.
Practically everything on sule chunked
hands In very good season ut prices that
were pretty close to a dime higher than
yesterday's market. Wuite a number of
droves of common underweights and med
ium butcher stock sold at figures that were
possibly no better than fil0c higher, but
most sales experienced the greater ad
vance. A spread of $7.95Ci8.10 bought up most of
the ho-s with the long strings selling at
$sotV!i8.06. Yesterday's bulk sold at $7.8.Vui

BIGGER FORCE 'FOB OMAHA
Reorganised Concern Will Itsnploy
Many More Men Here May Com
bine with Pacific 1st
Joint Offices.
A general shake-up In the office and
traffic forces of the Pacific Expreaa com-lati-
and an entire reorganisation of the
staff of the American Express company
In the western division la predicted a a
result of the transfer of the business on
the Union Pacific railroad from on ax
press company to the other.
The formal transfer, ( business will
lake place April 1. aa announced by Vice
Prtsldent L. V. Fargo, of the American
concern. O. C. Taylor, general manager
of the newly-created western division of
tho company, Is In Omaha on bualne.
but will establish his offices al Salt Lake
City. 1 '
"We hardly know Just what the situation
la," said Mt. Taylor. ."Two. months will
Intervene before our company takes over
the business of the Paclflo Express, and
we are not ready to announce any plans.
Our newly-acquired territory will embrace
In the neighborhood of 1,000 Offices, which
will naturally 'mean a much larger busi
ness for us."
Talk Is that the American Express com
pany will have to greatly Increase Its
working staff In Omaha by reason of tho
transfer. Although the Paolfla will con
tinue to operate express Cars on the Wa
bash and Missouri Pacific, the Union Pa
cific will take away 40. per cent , of that
trade.
This will mean that the fore of thj Pa-'
clfio Express company, will be cut ayid
additions made to the staff of the Amer
ican. There are about'' forty clerks em
ployed In the Pacific Express company's
offices at present. In addition to naming
more, clerks It Is also stated on good au
thority that a division Superintendent will
be appointed for the American, in. Omaha.
RallrorJ men figure, LUat the American
will control the express business of between
6.O00 and 7,000 miles ot track between the
Missouri river and the Pacific Coast. This
will mean that upwards of 300 of 400 mes
sengers, clerks and express agents ' over
the lines of the Union Paclflo will be put
on the payroll of the American Express.
Most of these. If not all, will simply be
transferred from the Pacific company, to
the American and will bo, literally, a part
of the business deal. ' 1
There is also talk .that the American
Express agency In Omaha will be obliged
to seek larger quarters before long, owing
to the Increase In business and the larger
number of clerks. It is also hinted that
the two companies may maintain joint of
fices In Omaha. If this merger' takes place
it Is probable the Joint offices would be
maintained In the Pacific Express com
pany's building at Harney and Fourteenth
Btreets. ...
Bennett's Bullet
Ends Forlorn Lite
Suicide of Iowa Man it Climax of Ca
reer of Desolation, Inquost
Shows. -
A. story of desolate -life In an "broken
middle age Is that .of Charles E. Bennett,
whose body-was found In a lumber yard
at Fourteenth 'and Davenport gtreett
Wednesday afternoon half an hour 'after
he had tken his own life. '
The police on investigation have posi
tively Identified Bennett. H formerly
lived at Paralta, la., nd for nearly a
year had been leading a forlorn existence
In Omaha, doing odd Jobs about the1 city. -
A week ago Bennett tried to get admis
sion to the county hospital, but failed. His
landlord at the Davenport, ' ' a ' rooming
house at 1207 Douglaa street, aaya that
Bennett had not been working lately' and
was In 111 health.
An Inquest will be held by Willis Crosby,
coroner, this afternoon.
A coroner's Jury at an Inquest Thursday
afternoon held that Bennett came to his
death by, shooting himself deliberately and
with suicidal Intent.
GOOD DOSE FOR KNOCKERS
City Electrician nllchaelsen Returns
from Europe Praising; Amer
ica aa Best Land.
City Electrician Mlchaelsen has returned
from a five weeks' trip abroad) during
whloh he visited his' parents In Copen
hagen. He reports a stormy time on the
ocean coming home, The Campania, on
which he returned, arrived In New York
thirty-six hours behind schedule.
"If any of the knockers or kickers want
to get the roal perspective of their own
country, let them make a visit to Europe,"
said Mr. Mlchaelsen. "I do not oare what
country they go to, the travelers from the
United States cannot help feeling that this
la the best country, after all; that no other
nation In the world can be compared with
It. For a pleasure trip, Europe Is all right,
but for a real oountry lu which to live and
find opportunity, the United States beats
them all." '
Mr. Michaelsen took some pains to in
quire about the oost of llvjng abroad and
finds It has been going up, though perhaps
not In as fierce a manner as here.
"In Denmark the cost of living has In
creased 25 to 30 per cent within five years,
and I presume the same thing will hold
good In most Eurupean counliiue similarly
situated. The people take mure pleasure
from living In th" older countries, though,
except possibly In the very lowest strata
of society.
"This fact will strike the American
abroad, too. A dollar of our money goes
twice as far In purchasing power there as
it will here; yet I. believe the prevalent
of high wages and high prices In this coun
try Is preferable to the European.1 condi
tion. Many people asked my advice about
coming to America, but 'I refused to ad
vise them lt so mai words to come. It
they must come, I told them the chance
was here for them to better their condi
tion, provided they do not rtop In the east
ern centers, but come to the western
states."
A medicine need not be disagreeable to
be effective. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
Is pleasant to take and always oures.
