General Business Verv Good—Labor Employment Outlook Encourag- ing—An Increage of Nearly 40 Per Cent In Clearings. The Local Outlook. The financial situation is reported as very satisfactory by bankers, who say that there is an increased demand for funds by jobbers 10 be used in the settlement of bills for spring purchases maturing about this time, and that deposits are good, and funds are in supply fully equal to the demand. The clearings through the Omaha clearing house for the week ending Saturday, April 18, were 4,008,778, against 2,803,870 for the same weok of 1888—an increase of §1,105,408, or about 40 per cent—which 18 certainly very comfortable. clearings of the Omaha banks associated in the clearing house do not fully indicate the volume of business trans- acteéd here, for the reason that the largest moicty of the transactions arising from the operations of the packing houses at South Omana ara not included in the clearings made by the Omaha clearing house, otherwise the clearings footing for Omaha would be in- creased at this season about $750,000 per week, Jobbers in all lines report a material in- crease in sales this week over last and are becoming very well content with the out- logk. Interviews with some twenty of the leading houses develope that sales to dato this month are far in excess of same period last year and the very cheerful feeling pre- vailing is in contrast with the distrust feit at the first of the scason as to the outcome of the spring trade. Most houses say business i8 15 to 20 per cent better than a year since, and in some lines sales this month are 50 per cent better. The crop prospects are exceedingly favora- ble; country roads are in good condition anl all the signs tend to a continuance of the im- provement in trade noted. Prices continue steady in lines not controlled by ‘‘trusts.” Sugars are strong at the recent advance of 344 per pound. Cattle, hogs and sheep are fetching fair prices, and the farmers have every reason to be satistied with their lot; and to sum up good merchants see many reasons to be satisfied with the business and financ iuloutlook in Nebraska, and have but little fault to find, though, if collections were to improve, there would be no cause at all for grumbling. However, when the spring work of the agriculturist is inshed and the farmer finds time to settle his store bill, traders will doubtless be enabled to square matters in this direction, City trade has been very good this week and no complaivs are heard from any so0ui Dry goods, millinery and clothing dealers report increased sules preparatory for Easter.” Iteal estate shows a healthy ac- tivity and the large disbursoments contem- plated by builders of houses and contractors for street railways and other public and pri- vate works givo ample assurance of a_free circulation of money in local channels in the ensuing months of the spring and summer and assure the usual prosperity attendant upon the efforts of Owaha's people. During the month of March thirteen Amorican gold, silver und copper mines paid dividends aggrogating 81,5 Since Jun- uary 1, 20 companies have vaid 6 "The rec nine months of the fiscal year shows that just 100,000,000 of bonds have been re- deemed, of iwhich 867,000,000 have been 43¢ per cents and $33,000,000, 4's. The amount of outstanding currency at the present time is larger by 37,000,000 than one year ago, and greater by upwards of $35,000,000° than two years ago, the present circulation being §1,4 06,481,000, With nearly 600,000,000 bushels of corn in thirteen states yot to be moved, or nearly doubie what there was a year ago, there is a prospect of more freight for the railroads to carry. An interview between a Nevada senator and Secretary Windom on the silver question has developed three interesting points: First, the silver problem has not been considere; by the cabinet: second, it is not likely to be considered in a hurry; and third, Secretary Windom indicated that he was opposed to any increase in coinage, as demanded by Senator Stewart, so long has he has millions of useless standard dollars stored away. “The New York Commercial Bulletin states that the fire loss of the United States and Canada for the month of March reached a total of $10,912,000. These fizures show an increase of nearly $1,000,000 over the same month of last year. “Winter wheat continues looking re- markubly well,” says Crop Expert Prime, “and there are only & few reports of it hav- ing been winter killed. In Tennessee and Kentucky the wheat is making rapid growth, the weather being warmer and the ground containing plenty of moisture, Kansus and Missouri report similar conditions, but in the winter wheat belt we find a decrease in moisture, and Minnesota and Dakota have actually none. California shows umformly warm, clear, growing weather." In its April report the department of agri- culture remarks that the “'mild weather has been favorable to farm animals, which are generally in high condition. The general average for horses is 98.4; cattle, 96.9, sheop, 97.4; swine, 95.0. Losses' from 'disease and all other causes during the last year have also been much less than usual.” The department of agriculture issues the following crop report for’ April: “The gen- eral average condition of winter wheat is 04, against an average of 82last April. The prelenlcondllmn by principal states is: New Pennsylvania, 93; Texas, 97; Ken- ; Ohio, 88; Michigan, 87; Iilinois, 07; Mlssnurl '05; Kansas, 96; California, 98. The condition of te southern states ranges from 90 to 07. The rye crop averages 93.9, The mild winter has been favorable to farm ani- mals, which are generally in high condition.” OMAHA LIVE STOCK.

Dressed beef and ship- ping steers sold here to-day at a decline 10@ 15¢, and the market was not even active at those prices. At midday 8 good many cattle were still in the yards unsold.

There are more things in heaven and earth Horatio. Than are dreampt of in your Philosophy.— Hamlet. A curious story is related from Mad- rid in explanation of the misfortunes which have lately afilicted the royal house of Spain. It appearsthat the root of the mischief 18 a fatal ring of quite medimval deadlines. The late King Alphonso XI1I. gave it to his cousin, Mercedes. when he was betrothed to her, and she wore 1t during the whole of her short ried ife. On her death the King presented it to his grandmother, the Queen Christina, She died very soon alter, when it passed to the King’s gister the Infanta del Pilar, whoat once began to sicken and in a few days breathed her last. Alphonso then handed it to his sister-in-law, Christina, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Montpensier, but in three months she was also dead. His Majesty now re- solved to retain the baleful jewel in his own keeping, but he too, soon fell a vic- tim to its mysteriously malignancy. By order of his widow it has now been sus- pended by a chain around the neck of the statue of the Maid of Almudena, the patron saint of Madrid. MA Wn\mmgtfln (Del.) lady who buried her 4-months-old child there recently, tells the two following dreams: A short time before the birth of_the child she and some friends were out looking at the sky, when she saw a white thing in the air fly around like a charmed bira that could not get away from its charmer. It gradually came aownward until she made it out in the shape of a white dove- It came on down_ gradually, making its graceful rounds shorter and shorter until it flut- tered to her face and lit upon her shoulder. She then awoke and found it was but a dream, but in a few days afterward her child was born. About a week ago she had another dream, but this time the snowy white dove took its departure from her shoulder, and, flut- tering around and around, it ascended higher and higher into the azure blue until it was lost to sight. Oa Kriday morning lolluwing her child died.” A singular case of su suspended anima- tion, of which Miss Belle McArthur is the unhnppy victim, is at present puz- zling the phyuidt\nn of Bridgeport, Conn., and is a source of great agony to Miss McArlhur. who 1s only twenty ears old, and, with one exception en- {uy- excellont health. Said the un- u]Ty sufferer: hese horrible attacks come on me without the slightest warning and I sud- denly lose control of all physicial power, My parents state that to all appearan- ces I am as dead as a stone and life i detected only by holding a mirror tomy lips to catch the moisture that comes from respiration.

Cnrcaco, April 13.—[Special Telegram to Tue Ber.|—The market opened firm at about yesterday’s closing prices and July ad- vanced about }ge, fluctuated back and forth belween 817¢c and 82ifc, and finally satis- fled 1ts early inclination by closing at 82'¢@ 821¢, which is about a ¢ improvement on yesterday's resting price. May was very tender to touch, and shrank timidly in the opposite direction to the one wanted. It was not much asked for, however, but merely showed some signs of firc when the embers were slightly stirred. 1t closed at the same price as on Friday. The weather has be- come the ruling factor in wheat since the speculative interest was transferred from May to July. The rains which were reported yesterday as being so general throughout the northwest were said to day to have origi- nated in the minds of speculators for lower prices, Some commission houses had revorts that no rain had fallen north of St. Paul, while there were other dispatches flatly con- tradicting the former. The signal service reports rain as_far north as Huron, Dak., where an inch fell yesterday. There wero rumors of export business in New York, which, however, lacked confirmation, and in the end were denied. It is known, never- theless, that New York is near a working basis, and there are several orders on that market which would be executed at about 1c decline, The Liverpool market was reported dull and lower, but Beerbohm gave futures as steady there, and quoted the Paris market firmer for both wheat and flour, and 3d higher. The export clearances for the week from four Atlantic ports show a decrease compared with the week before of about 17700 busheis of wheat, and 104,500 packages of flour. The corn market appeared to require heavy pounding to keep it down, and the fact of the charters having been made to-day to take 100,000 bushels to Buffalo becoming known near the close, caused it to bob up busyantly and close firm. Trading was light after the first hour, and of a scalping character. The prices at the close show a decline of about 1{c under the closing figures on Friday. Oats attracted more attention than yester- day. Trade was fairly active, which, with prices receding i{@ge the closiiga of F'riday. The clique houses were apparently out of the market, and there was little sup- port, which mude the rate of offerings of May, sell down to 24!,@24lc, later recovering a point or two. Business in June and July is enlarging, and those futures were relatively steadier than May, which was unsettled, with the belief uolul that there was considerable,short selling to-day. "Prade was largely local-and scalping in char- acter. Cash oats tp gojinto store were about 1{c lower at 24%c. Provisions closed weak, with trade in a rathier slumpy condition. ' The prices to-day were pretty well maintained, but there was no vim or breadth to the market, and the strength witnessed was due more to the coverings of short pork contracts than to any other cause. Lard was somcwhat neg- lected, and ruled relatively weaker than its companion articles, It closed, in fact, at an actual decline of 5¢, while short ribs were only 24c easier, nnd pork unchanged to o shade off. i CHICAGO LLVE STOCK. Cuicaco, Avpril i8.—{Special Telegram to Tne Bee |—Catjie—TPrade was rather slow.

The bears profess belief that the short interest is largely covered, and tbat they now have even chances with the bulls for the future, The bulls point to the fact that there has been considerable unloading as well as cover- ing, and that with the financial conditions more favorable, and with Gould and other leaders on the buying side, there will surely result a strong market in a few stocks at least, and an upward movement in the list. At the opening to-day the prices were irregu- lar, some better, some lower, but at small fractions from last night. Ina few stocks, such as Burlington, Northwestern, Reading and Lake Shore, there was a slight upward tendency during the morning. London bought stocks, There was buying on the prospects of a good bank statement, When the bank figures were known the statement was as favorable as expected, but the longs took it as an occasion to sell on, and this re- sulted ina general decline to about the closin g figures of Friday. Atchison was active, sell- ing off 1 poiut early, reacting 1}{ and again going off 1 point, closing with 1 per cent net loss. Reading closed with a }¢ per cent net gain.

Some of the Uses to Which Our Canine Friends Are Being Trained. Veternary Surgeon Bennett, in his lecture at the United Service institute, says the Pall Mall Budget, v,old the in- teresting and strange story of the war dog from Roman days downward. Com- ing to Christian times we are reminded of the war dog used by the Spaniards in America; by the earl of Essex in Ire- land during the rebellion; by the En- glish in the defense of Tangiers, when dogs saved the guards from a great ambush of Moors; of the famous French dog, Moustache, who detected a surprise the first night before Alexandria, who fought at Marengo, saved the standard of his regiment before Austerlitz, and was decorated on the battle-field. Then the lecturer recalleda how after the fa- mous campaign of Gen. Skobeioff in Asia Minor, the Russians decided to in- struct dogs as sentries, and how finally the Germans took up the question in 1885 and developed it till to-day a dog can carry back a message from outposts more quickly than the best mounted uhlan. There are at least five distinet purposes for which trained dogs can be used in war: 1. As auxiliary sentinels to the outposts and sentries and to the advance, rear, and flank guards in general. 2. As scouts, on the march, on reconnais- sance, and patrol duties. 3. As dispatch bearers, on the march, in camp, in action, ete. 4. As nllxilmry ammunition carriers on the march and in action. As searcher for the wounded and killed after an engagement, Coming to the best kinds of dogs for training, the lecturer had a good word, of course, to say for the shepard dog, the retriever, and the spaniel, and for the bloodhound as the dog par excel- lence for tracking, for following up the enemy into mountains, through jungles and forests, and for running down da- koits and other marauders. And since the bloodhound’s scent is so acute he would require neither to see nor hear to give warning of the approach of the foe at night or in thick covert. In a discussion among some experts and dis- tinguished and “dogg{" general officers following the lecture it vas pointed out that the bloodhound, in sentry work or on night marches, could give warning by his nose alone of the approach of strange bodies at a distance of about three hundred yards, under favorable conditions of wind, and that the blood- hound’s steudfastness by night and da; in following up human scent is sucl that, although crossed by deer and olher game, he does not leave the lead- scent. By way of 1llustrating the value of the war dog in carrying ammunition during action to the front, a trained re- triver was shown girded with his leather saddle-bags capable of carrying me rounds of the new rifle catridge. together the war dog appeared to find considerable fayor among the audi- ence gathered at Whitehall place, and the general opinion seemed to prevail that, if he is ever lucky enough to find official recognition at the war office, he is destined to play a useful part in the game of our little wars, Ralsing Orows For Market.

The supply of foreign bills, WEEKLY BUSINESS 'REVIEW. Bankers Report a Good Demand for Thelr Surplus. FUNDS IN ABUNDANT SUPPLY. Grain Operators Are Not Calling for Much Money—Interest Rates RemaingSteady—Activity in the Leading Markeots. Citeaco, April 18.—[Special Telegram to Trr Bee.|—Bankers are having a good mis- cellaneous demand for about all their availa- ble surplus, and in some instances their dis- count lines are well taken up, but a majority still have abundance of funds for all legit- mate purposes. Bavkers who make @ spo- clalty of loaning money to grain operatorshere are not pressed urgently for funds, but those who do a large business with grain carriers in the northwest reported more inquiry from that source than for some time past. The opening of navigation will enable those who have been holding grain here and at other leke shipping points to forward it castward and realize on their property and thus put more money in circulation in the west, Tnterest rates romain stoady at B(@blg per cent for the majority of call loans, with occasional loans_at 4@4ly per cent. MG 10808 range at @7 per cent and some times at 8 per cent. At the east the feeling is easier, due to the liberal distribution of interest and dividends due on the first part of the month, also by the enlarged purchases of bonds by the government. New York ex- change was firmer and met an_increased de- mand early in the week, and prices were ad- vanced to 25c premium, but later became eusior, and closed at 12}g(@25c_discount per Ithough larger, was readily taken, and a firmer feel- ing provailed, sales of shippers documentary bills on London being at #4.861¢(@4.8537. Business with the jobbing houses contin- ues brisk, orders for all descriptions coming in more freely, and sales reached a liberal aggregate. Prices remained without , im- portant change. . Pig iron received more attention at current prices, but any advance may cause a decrease in the sales. The New York stock market, while exhib- ing more activity, was unsettiod. The open- ing was characterized by strength and a small advance in prices, and this was fol- lowed by weankness and depression, The poor showing made by the banks was used by the bears to force vrices down. They made a strong attack on Atchison, and it de- oints, Burlington, Missouri ew England were singled and raided quite frequently with satisfactory results. Many longs were forced to realize. While these stocks were weak and declining St. Paul held up stubbornly despite the free selling of the other stocks. After the selling furor ceased, a stronger feeling was developed, money became easier, and the buyers took hold freely and the wmar: ket changed for the better. A sharp rally followed, the closing days being marked by increased trading and moderato advances in prices. The Sugar Trus 8, which have re- ceived only fair attention In the past, came to the front and with the large trading ad- vanced over thirteen points on the purchase of American refinery at New Yorkers. Southw generally firmer, and the close showed fair advances over the previous week on tho tire list ting Atchison, Chicago Gas Trusts, N ngland and Missouri Pacitic. The marlket is still a professional one and the public have little confidence in it. The for- igners made fair purchases, but are rather timid. The aggregate sales on the New York stock exchange for the week were 1,601,278 shares, The past week has witnessed considerable activity in the leading markets, both grain and provisions, but the feeling was con- siderably unsettled, and a material reduction in prices was submitted to. Thegeneral sur- soundings of trade were favorable tothe bear element, and they were inclined to make as much as possible out of the situation. The outlook for the growing crops was more favorable, through both private and official sources. Gains were reported in some se tions where most needed. and farm work is progressing finely in_all ‘parts of the west, the season being at least two to three weeks in advance of last year. The advices from abroad indicate that the farming interests were in a favorable con- dition, crops generally looking well. he markets abroad were less encouraging sellers, and the recent decline in_prices in this country has not stimulated trade to_any great extent. The home markets have been only moderately active, and the course of prices have sympathized, to a great_extent, with the change in pricés here. The sup- plies of grain at the leading markets have decreased, but not as liberally as reported some weeks ago. The arrivals at the princi- pal western markets were moderately free, e largely transforred from the small elevators in the interior, and the re- ceipts of grain at the small stations are light, and the farmers are busy with their spring work. The shipping de- mand for grain has been moder- ate, and mainly from parties who are moving round lots by the lake route, A fair inquiry prevailed for car lots to meet the wants of interior points, The export move- ment shows a further falling off in flour and wheat, while corn is being forwarded in liberal quantities. In speculative circles the operators appear to be evening up their trades in near futures, and extending their lines in the more deferred deliveries. The movement of live stock during the week was quite liberal, especially of cattle and sheep. The supply of hogs was lighter at the prin- cival western puckiug points, and the pack- ing of the west for the week was about the same as reported for the corresponding week in 1888, For the season, however, there has been quite an increase in both number and weight, Federal Appointmenis, Wasnixatoy, April 13.—The president to- day made the following appointments: Thomas B.

Aunt Mary went with Miss Fan- nie Haralson when she became the wile of John B, Gordon, When Mrs., Gordon was with her husband duriug the war, Aunt Mary was with her. Aunt Mary’s last appearance in public was upon the occason of the wedding of Miss Fanng, Governor Gordon’s daughter, some months ago. She was eighty-five years of age.
