ObTloas Hardening; Teadenrjr of the
Money Market Is Restraining
laflnenre on I nward
Movement.
NEW YORK, March 12.-There was a
residue of short salees to be covered In to
day's stock market, which were put out late
yesterday to the accompaniment of ru
mors, which had no foundation In fact. Ths
demand did not extend much beyond that
source.
A good Impression was made by the
agreement arrlvtd at between the Baltimore
Ohio management and its employes over
the wage dispute. The strong financial
showing mado by the railroads in the New
York Central system In the annual reports
was sustaining Influence. There was In evi
dence, also, the supporting operations In
United States steel, which have been a
Sentimental Influence on thet marke
throughout the week.
A restraining influence Is the obvious
hardening tendency of the money market.
While the call loan department has not
been affected this week. It is expected
that higher rates will prevail In the not
distant fture. Rates for time loans were
advanced another fraction today. There
was a recovery, alo, in foreign exchange
rates and further withdrawals were made
from the Bank of England's gold holdings.
The bank statement showed the effect of
the withdrawal of cash by the Interior
in connection with the spring planting
season. The week's financing has expanded
the loan account, which now exceeds the
deposits again for the first time since
January 8. -
Bonds were steady. Totals sales, par
value, $1,686,000.
United States 2s, coupon, declined Sc and
the registered 4c; while the 4s, registered,
advanced 4 Per cent In the bid Drlce on
call this week.

CATTLE Receipts of csttle this morn
ing as usual on a Saturday were so light
that there was nothing on sale with which
to make a market. For the week receipts
have been very liberal, being about on a
par with the liberal runs of last week and
a year ago.
While some little weakness was devel
oped In the market on Tuesday, the gen
eral tendency on all kinds of killing cattle,
beef steers, cows, heifers, bulls and stags
has been gradually working upward until
at the close of the week the market Is
right around 25o higher than one week ago.
Veal calves have not shown any material
advance as they- already were very high
last week. - -
Desirable kinds of feeding cattle worked
upward along with fat cattle and at the
close of the week are 1525c higher. Light
and thin stock . cattle, while not 'much
higher have sold more freely this week.
Quotations on cattle: . Good to choice
corn-fed steers $8.76ijj;7.76; fair to good corn
fed steers, $6.00i&4).70; common to fair corn
fed steers, $5.26ia.00; good to choice cows

and heifers, $4.50!f.25; common to fair cows
and heifers. $3.0084.50; good to choice stock

heifers, $3.764.2i; veal calves, $4.00418.25;
bulls, stags, etc.. $4.0035.75.
HOQS It was an unevenly higher market
In the hog yards this morning, with the de
mand from shippers and order buyers
especlnlly active. Only a light supply was
yarded, about eighty cars, and the first
thtrty-flve sold In very good season at fig
ures that were all the way from a nickel
to a big dime higher as compared with
yesterday's average trade. Mixed butchers
and good lights were favored by shippers,
the same aa recently, and the greatest ad
vance was apparent on stock of this kind.
Moat of the local packers stayed out of the
market until later In the morning, and
when they finally did begin to fill their
orders, buyers were forced to grant con
cessions of a nlcket with the result that
loads sold during later rounds were not
over 6o higher than yesterday.
A large portion of the receipts sold at
$10.30(10.45. as compared with yesterday's
bulk of JlO.20fllO.Sfi. and tops established a
new record at $10.65. It ta needless to add,
of course, that both top and average) cost
today are by far the highest In the history
of the local trade.
The week at all points has been one of
sensational prices and spectacular ad
vances. Supply at eastern markets has
been woefully light and local receipts also
show a decided decrease under last week's
short supply and a big decrease as com
pared with the week's run last year. For
the year to date. South Omaha shows a
shortage of almost 100,000 head and as the
season advances It Is becoming more evi
dent that the most acute stage of the
shortage has not yet been reached. Cur
rent prices are about 70c higher than a
week ago.

SHEEP Week-end trade In
the sheep
barn was featured by the same lively de
mand of earlier sessions and while lambs
acted a little slow toward the close yes
terday, the easier feeling made little im
pression upon the price list, some high
dressing Mexicans scoring a new lofty top
of $9.60. Colorados are still running freely
and a good share of the receipts this week
consisted of well-finished Mexicans, a
spread of $9.20-34.40 taking most of
the offerings. Nothing respectable was
weighed up under the $9.00 line. Good
kinds of lamb are selling about 15c higher
than they were at last week's close. There
was nothing of consequence on sale today.
Shorn lambs have been marketed from
Nebraska sections, but shipments have been
scattered and the volume of business small.
The beat clipped lambs here this week
came from Burnham feed lots and sold at
$.35. They were choice and It Is evident
that the usual spread of $1.00 between
shorn and wooled kinds Is to be preserved.
It has also been a record-breaking week
In the sheep department. Supply has been
decidedly limited, aa will bj noted In tl-e
table of receipts, and demand urgent. Ewes,
wethers and yearlings established new
records. Nebraska ami Iowa feed lots have
been pretty well drained and many of the
wethers fed In Montana this year were
bought by Seattle butchers and also shipped
to northern sections so that the market
supply will be even smaller than exported.
Western ewes topped st $7.70, Mexican
wethers at $7 86 and Mexican yearlings
at $8.76 on the local market this week,
present prices on desirable classes of live
mutton are easily 16) 26c higher than a
week ago.
Feeder trade has bean uneventful because
of an almost barren market. Inquiry has

To Pere Monsabre, the distinguished
French preacher, there came one Sabbath,
after mass, a laJy who Insisted that shj
must see him on an affair of great Im
portance. It was a matter of conscience,
and she explained that she was moat se
riously disturbed. In fact, she was sadly
given to vanity. That very morning, she
confessed, slid had looked In the glass and
had yli lded to the temptation of thinking
herself pretty.
Pere Monsabre looked at her. "Is that
all, my daughter?"
"Thirt Is all."

An Interesting xpi rln,Pm? n' to-opera lion
Is being successfully ti lo.' In the town of
Upland, Dickinson county. Kansas. The
town Itself is a small one, icss than a hun
dred people claiming It as a home. It Is.
however, the headquarters of three suc
cessful mutual companies, a telephone com
pany, an Insurance organization and a mcr
centile corporation.
That part of Kansas has ben settled
for nearly forty years. TheA first comers
were Germans, who still form the larger
part of the colony. Later came a number
of Swedes, and the remainder of tho com
mtini.y la made up of farmers from Indiana
and Illinois.
The town is on lop of the divide between
the Republican and Smoky Hill rivers and
four miles from the town of Alda. through
which runs a branch of the Union Pncirio
railroad. A big store building, a telephone
exchange, jvhloh also houses the Insuranco
company, a blacksmith shop, a town hnll
and four or five residences constitute the

Insurance Comes First.
The community Idea took root durlnjr
the Farmers' Alliance days, hack In 1891. A
meeting of farmers was called to take up
the queatlon of mutual Insurance. A com
pany was formed, and each farmer was
constituted an' agent without pay to solicit
new members. It , was deoreed that any
time a fire occurred an assessment should
be levied to make good the loss. Six years
later It had 241 members, with $1S,000 In.
surance In force. Today It hsis 3,500 mem
bers with Insurance representing $1,000,000.
When the company started business It
was decided that $2 a day was enough to
pay any officer, and that amount has
never been raised. This Is paid only when
the officer works. The average yearly sal
ary list is about $800, due to the simple
methods by which records are kept and the
fact that everybody pays his assessment
promptly under pain of being dropped at
once.
In 1895 the farmers decided to build a
creamery. Later the advent of the farm
separator caused It to be closed up, an
there was more money In selling the cream
to the central butter making stations. One
day, when a number of farmers were wait
ing for their tickets from the creamery.
It was suggested that It would be Just as
easy to bring farm produce along with the
milk every morning. Why not have a
store? Within a few days a co-operatlva
organization, with a capital of $25,000 was
formed. Only a part of this was used at
the beginning, but the store has proved so
profitable that the stock Is quoted at $150.
ana the cash value of Its resources
around $35,000.

The company owns a grain elevator, but
this Is at Alda on the line of tho nearest
railroad. A few years ago after a full dis
cussion it was asrrped that as there was not
hope of the railroad coming to Upland) the
company ought to buy Alda. It did, taking
In the elevator, stock yards, everything
except the town's name.
The telephone company serves over 4,000
persons, most of them farmers. It Is one
of the largest concerns In the state. It Is
purely mutual, with no capital stock, and
this serves to. make certain the retention
of the control in the hands of the farmers
Some fifteen or twenty trunk lines radiate
from the stone building In Upland.
The Idea was broached at a township
meeting. The thrifty Gorman.i were at
first disinclined to the experiment but
finally consented. They said It was all
foolishness. The first line wag built ta
Alda at a cost of $!I8.98.
The success of the experiment was In
stantaneous, and within six months other
line, were constructed. Seven year, ago
the company was Incorporated and other
neighborhoods, to save expense, joined the
company.
The officer, contend that the success of
the enterprise lie. in the fact that no fixed
rental is charged, each owner of a tele
phone paying a proportionate expense of
operation and maintenance, fcach farmer
must buy outright his phone. These, It I.
Inslsled, must be long distance instruments.
