FOREIGY FINANCIAL REVIEW, Lethargy of Several Months Past Appar- ently Completely Dispelled. BUSINESS BRISK. LONDON QUITE Bear Element Disappeared Tempors arily, Unable to Face the Prevails ing T to Boom —~Activity in Securitics, ndenc American Losnox, Sept. 6.--Discount was firm early last woek, but later the demand slackened, and rates closed easy yesterday at 7§ per cent for three months and 1§ per cent for short, On the Stock exchange business was brisk and thers was a cheerful tone in every de- partment. Tho lethargy of several months past is mplotely dispelled American securities continued to lead the advanco, the public investing largely in the best kinds and operators buying everything, relying apparently on the certainty of secur. ing profits, The bear element has for a time disappeared, unable to face all the prevailing tendency to boom. A large portioa of the advance was due to speculators, yet there is much solia investing indicating an restoration of public confidence. In American railway securities yesterday activity in dealings was slightly relaxed, but the riso continued despite cablegrams from New York showing that business in Wall street displayed a tendency to realize. Selling there, was attrivuted hero to the fact that tomorrow is a holiday, and was not taken s an indication of a réaction. Prices nere closed above New York parity. Variations for tho weok in prices of Amer- tean ruilway securities include the following increases: Atchison, 415 per cent; Louisvilie & Nashville, per cent; Union Pay shares and Denver & Itio Grande pr 2 per cent each; Norfolk & Western proferred, Denver' & Rio ande com- mon, New York, Pennsylvania & Ohio first' mortgage and o, 13 per cent; each; Wabash preferved and Northern Pa- cifie preferred 11; ver cent each; Lake Shore, 1 per cent; New York, Ontario & Western and Central Pacific sbares, three- fourtns of 1 per cent each: Ilinois Central 134 cent; St. Paul common, 8% per cent; New York Central, 2 percent; Penusyl: van 4 per cont. Canadian railway securities are in fair de- mand. The Cnicago section of the Grand Trunk 18 considered likely to profit through the removal of the Gernian probibitions of American pork importations and partly in consequence of this belief Grand Trunk sec- ond preferred advanced 11, per cent on the week; Grand Trunk first and third preferred and guaranteed stock 1 per cent each, and Grand Trunk ordinary three-fourths of 1 per cent. The securities of the Mexican railway were irregular, but closed one-half of 1 per cent better on the week. Among the foreign securities Argentine funding loan has advanced 31; per cent, and Cedulas 215 per cent, although Bucnos Ayres advices descrive the financial situation as worse. Chilian sccurities were largely bought in and gained 3!; per centon the weck, while Brazilian bouds gained 11§ per cent, and Nitrate railway shares and Per vian corporation vonds three-fourths of 1 per cent each. Of the miscellancous secur- tics Guinness shares lost 2 per cent on tho weel, and Ilastmans one-fourth of 1 per cent, while Bell's Asbestos gained three-eighths of 1 per cent. Havana Market Review.

In reading tho letters of Marie Bashkirtseff one is struck with the perfect simplicity and sincerity of the writer, while at the santo timb he is also impr by tho ambitious nature of this talentod young girl. She was ready to make all sorts of sacrifices, as is shown inanumber of her letters to her mother. “I must attain what I desira or [ must aie,”” sho wrote, adding, “‘he who is afraid, yet woes to meet danger, is braver than he who is not afraid.” On auother oc- casion she wrote: “What am ! Nothing. What do [ want! Everything.” Poor Pietro, for whom she evidently en- tertained a lively affection, could not be per- mitted to distract her thoughts from the great schome of her life “No, Pietro is only a aiversion—a strain of music in which to drown the lamentations of my soul. And yet I reproach myself for thinking of nim, since he can be of no use to mo. Hae casnot eveu be the first rung of the ladder thut loads to fame,” is the way she wrote to her wother about her admirer Pietro. That sho had no false modesty is also quite clear and her letters abound in eulogistic descriptions of her personal appearance, such as: I look pretty today. Nothing beautifics 50 greatly as the consciousness ot being beautiful.” Again at another time she wrote of herself: “Itis true that in my princesse robe ef batiste my figure is divine, that is the word (you have suid so yourself.)"’ In extenuation, however, it must be remembered that she was ouly 23 when she died. Taken s a wholo, the “Letters of Marie Bashkirtseff,” which have been so ably translatea by Mary J. Serrano, make a very charming work, and as Mr. Gladstone says, “It may even be pronounced a book without purailel.” Published by Cassell Publishing company, New York. The strange mysticism of the Orient has long been a fayorite theme of writers of fic- tion, and consequently when 1. E. Baldwin sat down and wrote *“Ihe Strange Story of Dr. Senex,” he simply trod in the well- defined footsteps of a long lina of more or less distinguished predecessors. It is, per- haps, to oe regrotted that an author whose evident gonius gives abundant promise of better things, did not leave the beaten tracks and strike out boldly 1nto new and unex- plored realms of fiction. He clearly has the avility ana the field is boundless, There is nothing new in the subject of the book beioro us, and it cannot vo said that the author has treated it with any striking degree of oviginality. The story by itself is, however, a pleasing one and ono that will not fail to interest, the reader.

THE LADIES WANT MORE INFORMATION. Brief Review of Some i Face tories That Are Man Articles of Oma fact ieneral Use The efforts of Tie Ber to er estin home industries* has alroady borne €ood fruit und a good many citizeos vre re questing their families to buy goods of home manufacture, The greatest difficulty in the way is the lack of information among the people as to what is madein Omaha, *When we order goods from the grocery what shall we call for,” asks a lady, 'to say send me something of Omaba manufacture is a iittle indetinite. 1 have been using in flour the best make of a well known Minneapolis mill, now then I want to give my patrouage to home mills, but what will L ask for¢ If my grocer does ot happen to want to handle Omaha flour he is hikely to take advantage of my ignoranc to send me a poor grade and make me sick of home made flour. We ladies ought to be informed in some way as to the exact kind of goods to call tor. It is not enough to know that wood soap is made in Omaha, we ought to know what kind 1s the best and which is the next best so that each one of us could seicct the kind that would correspond to what we have been using in prico and quality.” The same Lolds good in every line of household goous 1 have visited quite a number of local tories the past week and have been struck with the general gooa feeling that exists between the manufactur- ers themseives und their evident desire to patronize oach other as far us possible. Occasionally a manufacturer is found that is_going on the outside to buy goods that might b obtained hiere, but the instances are rare. 1 was in ono small place where they also job goods that they do not make. While the manager was detailing upon the necessity of homu institutions being onized 1 glanced over the goods in sight. @ was soap from Philade/phia, Des Moines and Chicago_but none of Omaha make. Bafore the speakor had ceased a retail grocer ca mo in and said “I want a box of cocoanut oil soap,” und the manager handed him a box of Chicago mako and ho walked out. To my inquiry as to why he did not sell Omaha soap he replied, 'O, they don’t make toilot soap in Omaha.” '~ When informed that they did make toilot soap in Omaba ho fell back on the assertion that they did not make cocoanut oil soap. This was also a poor ex- cuso, as | had just sesn a car-load of cocoanut oil at the soap works and any amount of the finished article. At last ne had to acknowl- edgo that he had no reason for discriminating against Omnzha but did it because it was a habit. A manufacturers’ assooiation seconded by such organizations as the Board of Trade and Real Estate Owners’ association, and backed up by the 40,000 consumers who draw their support from the factories, could correct such habits as that in a very short time. 1 learned some intoresting facts about flour a few days ago from acountry milior. There has been_ such a strong prejudice against flour made in the state that some country millers have beeu leaving off from the sacks the name and location of the mill, but brand it with some name that will lead the con- sumer to believe that it is of Minnesota make. The deception works well and tons of Nebraska flour are sold iu Omaha and give weneral satisfaction. Dealers nave sent out flour in Nebraska sacks and had it returned as not being good, and have put the same flour in a Minnesota sack and returned it to the sumne party who would use it and pronounce it satisfactory. There is everything in a name when it comes o flour. Omaha has only one flouring mill, the Omaha_ Milling company located at ' 1313 North Sixteenth street, and they have one of the best plants in the country for its size, ‘Tho machinery is all of the same make atd was put In by the same compauy that built and set up the machinery for the Washburn mill which manufacturers Wuashburn’s su- perlative. It's machinery is a auplicato ot the mills which make the celebrated Minne- sola brands so that the Omaha will has every facility for turning our.a first class ar. ticle, They use the same wheat as Washbura and Pillsbury, that is the best northern hard wheat. As the rate on wheat to Omaha is about the samo as to Mineapolis the local mill can turn out flour at about the same cost as the Minneapolis mills. In this way the local mills can undersell the others as they save the freight on the flour. Six grades of flour are being made in Omaha, tho best being equal to the best Minnesota brands, and the cheapest as good for the money as can be madoe anywhere, Last fall’ the government wanted to place a big order for flour for the army n the Department of tho Platte. The government bakers and experts made a number of careful tests, Pillsburry’s and Washburn's best brands being amoug the competitors and the Omaha flour was pronounced equal to the best Min- nesota and the Omaba mili was given the contract. Still the majority of the people of Omaha continue to ask for everything but the home made article and their ‘money goes to help build up the great flouriug mills of Minne- apolis. Tunticipato that some of the public spirited ladies wao decide to change over to the Omaha flour will go back to their old brands, In every household it sometimes happens that a baking turns out poor, and if this should hapven when a change had just been made to Omaha flour tne blame would all bo laid to that cause, but the housekeeper should re- member tnat the favorite Minnesota did not always turn out the whitest ot bread or the best of pastry. The Omaha mill is employing twelve men and distributing in wages $10,000 per year. All its supplies which can bo_obtainad in Omaha are’ bought here, as sucks, oils, belt- ing, ete, When the housekeeper has secured a saci of Omaha flour the next thing in order 1s to make a change in yeast. Both dry hop and compressed yeast aro made in Omaha, Tho German Yeast company has a fine plant located on the Belt live at Twenty- oighth and Boyd streets, where they manu- facture what they call Corman dry hop yeast. Tney employ twenty-two people in the fuctory, & good wany of thom boys and girls, with an annual pay roll of 10,800, which does not iuclude salesmen, office force, ete. There are six or seven different kinds of dry yeast sold in Omaha which are niade in Chicage, Fon du Lac and other eastern cities. “This is entirely the fault of the grocers, as a lady seldom calls for any special make of dry yeast. [ was recently in a store wnen a lady camo in and called for a package of hop ast. Tho grocer turned round to the shelf where there were two piles, one of the Omaha make and the other frem Chicago, and he handed out o package mado in Chicago. iry s to why he gave Chicago the fie repliod, »O, it was onlya hapven so, porhaps noext time I night get hold of the Omaha yeast.” The ladies ought to commence asking for the home made yeast, and & manufacturers association ought to see that there was more mothod aud less “happen s0" in some chants' dealin The ladies espec ouht to encourage the manufacture of yeast in Omaha, because the most of the work is done by girls, poor girls that are trying to earn an kLanest liviag, and some of them givls that ave helping widowed mothers sup- port a large family of younger children ‘Thore 18 also another reason why Omaha yeast stould be used, it is as good or better than auy other and being maie at home it is fresher than the imported article. Tho manufacture of compressed yeast was com menced a short time ugo by the Omaha Com prossed Yeast Company which has a factory at 1714 south Tenth street. 1tis said that they are turuing out u first class article that 1s giv- iug sutisfaction both with the bakers and in private families, Tho companv however is meeting with the samo up-ill work that confrouts all home concerns, ‘I'ne peoplo are s0 wedded to the eastern made urticle that it is almost impossible to induce them to try anything mude 1 their own city Au articlo of universal use in the house hold, which naturally suggests itself in con nection with iour and yeast, is baklug pow der.

The Consolidated Coffee company is manufacturing three or four dif- ferent brands of baking powder, ranging from the best, which retails at about 50 cents per pound, down to the cheapest grades, There is no reason why this powde should not take the place of that made in dis tant cities The same company is munufacturing all kinds of flavoring ext another line of #oods used extensively in every household. These goods have n lurge sale because the wholesale grocers have all taken to handling them, but there is still any amount of flavor- ing extracts used in the city that are of fo eign maie, Tho company’s labratory is located in their building at 1414 Harney street. and is _under the charge of Dr, Baker, a chemist of wide experience in his special line. Perhaps the most interesting part of the work 18 the manufucture of vaumlla. This extract is like wine in that it improves with age, and vone is sent out from this factory that is less thana year old. The oil of lemon is obtained from Messins put up in coppers holding twenty-eight pounds each, The company manufactures four grades of extracts, the best quality being put up under Dr. Baket's own name, The Consolidated Coffes conpany also manufacture another kind of goods in com- mon use and that is blueing. They ha what they call ale biueing that is put up in old ale vottle or similar bottles holding about a pint. As the package costs as mucu or more than the blueing this utilizing of old bottles which are justas good and do not cost much makes a great saving to the con- sumer. Another flourishing manufacturing institu- tion which is worthy of the patironage of Omaha people on the ground that it is doing much for the citv and might do a great deal more is the Gedney Pickle company. Their faotory is located at Eloventh and Grace stréets where twelve girls and eight men are employed. The; put up all kinds of pickles such'as cucur bers, onious, boans, tomatoes, etc., also Worcestershire sauce, London sauce, pepper sauce, ete. They have 250 acres of cucum- bers contracted for in the vicinity of Flor- ence and tbree acres of ouions, beans, toma- toes, ete. About one man to every three acres is the rule in picking, which keeps a good many people busy during the season. One farmer who has ten acres of cucumbers has employed as high as twenty seven men at oue time in pickingand expects to have 3,000 bushels for which he will re- ceive §1,200. As the picking costs ouly 10 cents per bushel he will have a big thing for his labor in planting and tending the crop and for the use of his land. Such a factory is a valuable acquisition for 8 city not only as 1t employs a good many people in the actual manufacture but it en- ables farmers and gavdners in the immediate vicinity to raise most profitable crops and during the harvest seasou gives cmployment 10 a groat many people who draw their sup- plies from the oity. - 1f every housewife would commence to ask her grocer for Omaha made pickles the pre- sent force at the factory would soon be too small and another year would see many mora acres of the fertile land around OmakLa de- voted to the raising of vegetables for pickles. gt A et Over 450.000 Howe scales nave been and the demand increasing continuaily. den&Selleck Co., Chicago, Il - Muenchener Hafbraeu at all bars, where the celebrated beer of the Omaha Brewing association is sold.

Yesterday was an ideal early autumn day and it was thoroughly enjoyed by the hundreds who thronged every drive uvd pathway of Hanscom park. The beauties of the park aroof themselves suflicient to at- tract the multitudes, and the added attraction of an excellent programme of music vendored by the Second Infantry baud brought out hundreds who would otherwise have re- mained away. Without making any invidious compari- sons, it may be truthfully said _that yester day’s programme was one of the finest that has been presented at Hanscom park this season. It included a uumber of new selec- tions not heard here this past summer, among the most notable being the ovortures “Guy Mannering and the selections from the operas “Stradella” and **Rigolotto.” Messrs. Trusson, Allen, Clark and Siebentritt ren- dered two numbers 1 a pleasing manver, the the praver from *Die Freischulz,’” ing well deserved applauso. By especial v the bridal chorus from “‘Lohengrin’’ was repeated. It is one of the masterpieces of the great German composer and it is worthily interpreted by the Sccond Infantry band. The other numbers included the familiar overature from I'ra Diavolo, several potpouris and mealeys and Millard’s national anthen, Our President from Every Harm," brought the afternoon’s enter- tainment to a close. P The perfume of violets, the purity of the lily, the glow of the rose, and the flush of Hebe combine in Pozzoui’s wondrous Powder. O Charleston. (I1L) Herald: George ny Ter, who is heve on w visit from Madrid, Nob.. is doing the sensible thing for his part of the country. Tnstead of repeating the doleful sto told hy Sockless Simpson und Long Bearded Peiter, he has been making an ox- hibit of some of the productions of the soil of his country. On the old Second National bank corner ho had, Monday and Tuesday, some fine spoctmens of tail whelat. oats. cabbage urnips, potatoes, us can be found anywhore, We were informed by him that the farmers in his 1y these things 1o sell in lun and that U prices they arc very remunerative. This s cert i better way to bring rrn\xmrny o country than is practieed by the calumity orators. 1t shows clearly t the people out there are getting tired of the leaders who have done so much tostop the influx of outside capital, and to destroy the confidence of foreign money lenders. 1t demonstrates the fact that the armers of western Nebrasia have left off 1is- tening to the blatunt demuzoges and ure fol- lowlng the sensible advice given in Poor Kich- ard almanacs, tho wmaxims of which have hayenever beon improved upon, Talking of patent medicines —you know the old prejudice. And the doctors—some of them are between you and us. They would like you to think that what's cured thousands won't cure you. You'd be- lieve in patent medicines if they didn't profess to cure everything —and so, between the experiments of doctors, and the experiments of patent medicines that are sold only because there’s money in the “stuff,” you lose faith in every- thing. And, you can't always tell the prescription that cures by what you read in the papers. So, perhaps, there’s no better way to scll a remedy, than to tell the truth about it, and take the »7s% of its doing just what it professes to do. That's what the World's Dispensary Medical Associa- tion, of Buffalo, N. Y., does with Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, Favorite Prescription, Pleasant Pellets, and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
