THE SPECULA“VE I ARKERS buying by Green & Bateman. By 8 o'clock v | the market had rallied moderately. The railroad earnings continue tavorable. For the third week of July seventy-one roads re- port earnings of 94,034,103, an increase of $403,877, or nearly 13 per cent. For the fourth week returns are not so satisfactory, and thirty-eight roads report an increase of only 801,007, or 23§ per cent. But for the month of July the retarns now coming in show very favorably ana the gross for all roads for the month of July should show & gnin of over 10 per cent. The assignment of Henry 8, Lves was expected to-day, and Cin- cinnati, Hamliiton & Dayton dropved to 40. It matters littie now to the general public whether Ives assigns or not. His jig is up, and he is no longer a feature in the market, and will be swept aside like many other yaung and brilliant operators who have pro- ceeded him. In the closing halt hour the market gave way and the whole list weak- ened perceptably and closed weak at Inside figures and showed declines of 3% to 2% per cent, Northern Pacific having the lead. Northwestern dropped to 1143 and St. Paul to B1i¢. The total sales were 241,253 shares, GoverNurENTS—Government bonds were dull but tirm, YESTERDAY’S QUOTATIONS.

Cnicaco, August 8.—(Special Telegram Brr.|—Wheat displayed increased specula- tive activity and values hardened slightly. Harvester news from the northwest is less favorable and statistics of movements of Krain constitute the bullish argument. The visible supply statement shows an increase ©of only 338,000 bushels for the week, and tle exports for the week foot up handsomely. - ‘The clearances for Saturday and Sunday from the three ports azgregated mearly 700,- 000 busnels in wheatalone, and for the wee k in wheat and flour to 4,300,000 b ushels.

C. Woodman, who lives with her distin- guished relative at Oak Knoll, a beautiful country seat in Danvers, has been the chief topic here for several days. The motive which prompted her disappear- ance is a mystery. A]lhouzh an adopted daughter, Miss Pharbe was the idol of the family and was especially loved by Mr. Whittier, who entertained for her the affections of a father. ¥ It was while the poet was spending a f vacation in the New Hampshire hills that some circumstance caused the girl to break the associations which for over twelve years have bound her to more than friends, and start for the far west, leaving no trace of her where- abouts, and, £o far as can be learned, assigning no cause for her act. On the ternoon of July 28 Miss Phaebe ordered her saddle horse” at an early hour and started for a ride, unaccompanied, Pass- ing down through the viliage and bow- ing vpleasantly to numerous acquaint- ances, whom she saw along the wuf', the girl turned the horse's head and galloped off towards Putnamville, a small station two miles below on the Boston and Maine railway. No one remembers hav- ing seen her after that, but towards evening her horse, tied to a tree, was found standing in a grove near the railway station. Clese at hand wasa riding habit, which gave rise to the be- lief that come crime had been committed. Inquiry at the railroad, station brought out the fact that the young woman had taken a train to Beston. Search was made but all traces of her was lost. The news was reluctantly told to Mr. Whit- tier and he was cast down with grief. He sent telegrams to all of his distant rela- tives makinfi inquiries eor the girl but re- ceived no tidings. She has been brought up under his own carg, and with the ex- ception of one year nf\ehenton, he had ln:?_l ier sole instructor, e esterday a telegram was received from the young woman'at East Saginaw, Mich., saying that she was at that place with triends. She did not explain her departure nor signify (any intention to return, The telegram was at once sent to Mr, Whittier, and he advised one of the family to go at once to the young girl and try to induce her to return. One of the fami file" last night and 18 now on her way to East Saginaw. To the World corres ndentone of Mr. yenerable poet was much grieved over the strange actions of the girl. She was an adopted dsughter, quite as much of his own, he said, as of his cousin, and his interest in her was very deep. Mr. Whittier was of the opinion that outside _influence induced her to leave her home. Her father’s family were southerners and some of them now wished her to join them. These people, he said, live in_East Sag naw, where lives Joseph Whittier, a cousin of the poet. Mr. Whittier feels sure she is with her father’s relatives ilio' and not with Mr. Whittier's cousin. 18 also thought that Was et 1 S Whittier's intimate friends said that the, 3 Boston by some one who accompanied her west. Who this person is they do not know, or how strong their influence muibe to keep the girl is not known, Although she was always well supplied with pocket money, she did_not have enonfh to Dl¥ her passage to Michigan, The friends of the {oung woman refused to tell who her father and mother were before she was adopted and declined to 5Ive any information in regard to her oparture. et “ PRIL" ARMOUR OOMING WEST. He Wants to Be Near the Oenter of the Hog-Ralsing Country. Detroit Special to New York Times: “Phil” Armour, the great pork packer of l7h|cngo‘ has been sojourning at the Mount Clemens mlnunlcrrlnu for the past few days and last night passed through Detroit on his way home. In the course of u business talk he remarked: “I have very rece established a branch house in Omal sides the onc in Kansas City."” *‘That does not mean that you are going to remove from Chicago, as has been ru- mored?”’ “I shall always make Chicago a dis- wributing point, but Chicago has seen its best day in the pork-packing line. Pork is found further west now than it used to be. The corn . district has gone west and hog raising follows it. 1 am a pretty old man to go west to grow up with the country, but I must do it or have my business rust out, and I don’t intend to do that. The fact that 1 am going has been laid to labor troubles by some papers, but that 18 not the case. It is strictly business with me. 1am just a8 hable to encounter labor disturbances at Kansas City and Omaha as I am at Chicago, but think an arrangement has been made with the packers that will I)rove satisfactory to all concerned. As anid, the corn district is working west, Michigan, Onio, Indiana, Iliinois and Wisconsin used to furnish hogs in great abundance, but when the land was tilled for other uses than the cultivation of corn, hog raising was not profitable and was dropped. In southern 1lllinois to- bacco is now raised where corn used to be grown. West of Kansas City is now becoming the greatest corn country in :‘he w‘t')rld. and there is where I'll find the 0gs. ‘sbn you think Chicago’s supremacy as a beef shipping point is also on the wane?"’ “No. To supply the market, beef of several grades is necessary, and these grades are caused by the vountry in which the oattle are raised. All" the states around Chicago are devoted in- creumfily to the ruising of fine grades of cattle that make the choicest beef and will furnish the best qualities of meat. But a hog's a hog anywhere, ana if I can get nearer the center of the hog raising country by l;oing to Kansas Cllg or Omaha it is my interest to do 8o an save freight to my slaughter house. Be- sides, 1 can get as good freight rates from Kansas City now as I can from Chicago.” —_— DIRECTORY _ PROFESSIONAL CARDS. _ A. 8. CHURCHILL, ATTORINEY AT LAY 820 South 15th street, Omaha.
