THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, ————————————————————————————————————— —— A T 5 2 O — NEW YORK STOCKS REVIEW. Market is Now as Solid as When the Bull | Movement Began, HAS BEEN LED BY THE DIVIDEND PAYERS, in T ars, at This nr, New You, dan. 3 ecial Telegram to Tur: Bre.|—There has not been in ten y at this season, such & market as there 18 now. For not only is it buoyant, apparent stronger, and as solid as when the bull move- m ut began in the autumn, but with all this a lvance there is ease 1n money, bank depos its of almost unprecedented volume, call loans averaging 3 ver cent in the week, when there is usually a squecze because of prepara- tios for the Januury disbursement, and 8s favorable an outlook for o further rise of prices as could be desived. Let it be admit- ted that the bull movement hus been mainly the work of the great professional operators, The samo is truo of every great move- ment in the warket, from the time of the years of 1875 to 1851, down to the present time, and it is true, also, of the ereat bear campaign within that period. But 1o movement of prices, either up or down, can be ecrntinued through mcoths without the co-operation of the public. A successful bear campaign is coincident with public liguidation, a ssful bull campaign with public buying. There must have been aslowly ineresing absorption of securities outside of Wall street, to have enabled tho bull pools to handle the market with the strength and confidence thoy have shown for the Inst three or four months, and had they not been so supported they must have broke: down long ago, and prices would be consid- erably below their present range. After such an advance, it is oatural to look for a reaction, mnot a reaction of fractions or of A point or two, but one of six to ton points. Yet, with the confident feeling that moneyed men have about the inmediate future, because of the vast amount of busi- ness in sight, it is not only possible but probable that most stocks wiil go on rising anu when the drop docs come it may do no more than bring those stocks back to the present level. It is not, however, to be sup- posed that every stock on the list will advance, but even the worst situated are likely to bold steady until the turn comes, when they would naturally be the first to break and lead the downward plunge, Has Been Led by the Dividend Payers, ‘Thus far the market has been led by the great dividend payers, these have gone up so tar that the moving powers in the market seem disposed to let them rest for & time, while they bring up others. There was some disappointment because the New York Central dividend was not larger, and it temporarily affected the general list: yet, the insiders did not hesita'e to buy the stock, and scarcely baa it been quoted exaividend than the dividend was recovered. The stock which now seems to be the coming card is Union Pacitic. The buying of 1t bas been unmistakably strong. It is another example of the power of vast moneyed iuterests. Some of the strongest tinancial firms in_the country were heavily involved in the affairs of this company, and a combination for self- protection was a necessity. They have practicully taken charge of the property, and a formal change is said to be coming. The collateral securities pledged for the trust notes are nearly all greatly 0 the prices marked for them ou the ual schedule, and when they have been disposed of the company will be clear of floating debt. Whatever one may think of tho intrinsic value of the shares, it is useless 10 suut onc’s eyes to the strength of the forces supporting them in the markot. 1'urthermore, 1t is certain that for the next few months theroad will be able to show largely increased earnings, and while 1t can do this, the stock can be put if the general market be at all favorable. Oue may have decided opinions about what the ultimate result will be, bui the prescut situation seems to be about as indicated. Gas Stocks are I In the tmportant class of industrial securi- ties—important now and destined to grow 1 importance—the first place in point of netivity dnd strength is held by the Gas stocks. ‘That of the Chicago company made 50 rapid an advance yesterday as to ocause much comment, and iv is intimated that these being times favorable for restitutions, some people wore likely to have to repay to tho company certain large sums which they had taken from it at a former period. Besides this, the forthcoming annual statement wiit show a large cash balance over and above all payments for the year. Consolidated Gas of this city 1s higher, aud seems now to be well established above par. This is another com- pany whose aividends are regarded as being sure to increase with the growth of the city. The St. Louis company’s stock promises to Lecome more active. If St. luis were a ity where they build from forty to fifty wiles of stieots every year, as they do in Chicago, the gas company would grow in earnings as largely as does the Chicago com- pany, but St. Louis is slower, and properties dependent upon that growth must be of slower movement. The Laclede company is doing well, however, and has excellent man- agement. National Lead stock, the new issue, after financial reorganization, made its first ap- pearance the lust weelk, and forthwith statod in to make up for past deadness by an extra- ordinary degree of liveliness. It jumped up in & way which showed that the shares mast have become thoroughly concentrated. Cot- ton Oil has become quiot. Sugar is quiet also, which may be preliminary to a burst of ac- tivity. Reference. was made last week to the small stocks of the market, and the increasing volume of trading in them, Ths is likely to continue. Some of these proper- ties are growing ina way satisfaotory to the holders of the securities. Condition of Other Stocks. The Rochester & Pitssburg company will pay its first somi-annual dl\'iSend on tho veforred stock within the month, It would have been declared in the fall, but certain of tho directors wore averse to such action at time. The Louisville, New Albany & Chicago stock is going up, the time for sub- scription to the uew issue having expired. 1t was all taken by strong people. The Wheeling & Lake Erie secnrities have beon rather quiet, but they are likely to become wore active, The subordinate properties of the compuny are doing well, The coal’ company it controls is earning )00 per annum above charges and the o Belt Line bas nearly doubled its busi- , the inorease being at tha rate of #30,000 net por aunum, ‘T'hese two items show an increase in net earnings of wore than 2 per sent on the preferred stock of the Wheeling mpany, and are not reported in tho regular railroad earnings. Perhaps it will be known sowe day why another small stock—North Awmerican—does not go up. It was dragged forward & week ago, by the general strength of the market, but moved heavily and seems ready to drop Whenever tho mariet gets dull, Peoplo who have been struck with it at nigher prices are decidedly sore, and not amiablo toward Mr. Villard, Iorie is not a small stock in respect to the amount of it, but it is & low priced one, aud it abates nothing of its activity. It is strong, but the November statement, not being as good as expected, gave some cbeck to 1ts ad- vance, whicli is probaoly only temporary. The Nickel Plates ought to be a purchase about theso prices it Lake Shore 1s worth what it is selling for. The road must b making good earnings, for it has all the bus- iness 1t can hanale, and the management will oot be always putting S0 per cent of the gross earnings into wor g expeuses. The company’s common h lagged behind the geveral list so much as to excito wonder 88 1o the reason therefor, but ood buying has appeared in it within the ast fow days. The Wabashes deserve men- tion. Either Mr. Gould or some one else has been buying them; while Eday Gould, the vouthful president of the St. Louls and South- Western road, has been making the securitios »f that company dauce over the tape in the iveliest style, FOREIGN FINANCIAL REVIEW, Witn Bogluning of the Year Deallngs Were Brisk and Prices Firm, Loxnoy, Jan, Disoount was not in de- waud auring the past week; the last quota- lons were three months 3§ per cent, short I per cent, The money wmarket is unset- tled. ~ Although at present supplies are plentifal, the prospect for shipments of gold 10 Argentine, Russia and (ermany—to the last named country in conneotion with the Hungarian return to specie payhieuts makes the situation uncertain, The imme- diate outlook s for greater ease, but a sub- sequent stiffening of rates under a serious drain of gold appears lnevitable. With the begioning of the new vear, the Stock exchunge opened strong. A hopeful feeling prevailed in most of the departments throughout the weok.' Despite interruptions of business, caused by the tinal so'tlement of the year and the holiday season, dealings wore brisk and prices firm, and the public bought largely of every fairly sound secur- ity. Thus British railway securities, which had long been neglected by investors, were lurgely taken and there were consequent advances for the week ranging from 1y per cent to 41y cent. American railway securities maintained their lead. Kvery kind was bought, the best stocks attracting investors and the more specuiative benefit- ing by the general bull movement. ‘The street rariet yosterday was the most active known on a Saturday for a long time though the final prices were only about t closing quotations in the house, "The weck’s riations in prices include the following in- 05 enver preferred, 41y por cent; pion.Pacitl ; pev cent; Wabash deben tures, 3 pes orfolik preterred, 2!y per cent; Nashville, 157 per cent: Denvi r n Centr: Ohio, Northern Mississippi, 13§ per cent: per cent; Central Pacific Topeka & Sunta L'e, 1 por cent: Wabast: preferred one-half of 1 per cent.

Written For the Dee. Shortly after the passage of the homestead act, my husband having re- turned from the army about the same time, we rebolved to try our fortunes in the great west. Accordingly we dis- posed of such of our small belongings as we could not bring with us, packing the remaining articles for our jouraey Among other possessions was an old fiddle. I was no friend to fiddlers or the fiddler’s profession, and so urged that it should be left behind as of no consequence to us in the new countr, My husband thought different, however, and seeing it would cost him a pang to give it up, I said no more, and the old fiddle in its green bag was packed cave- fully away. All preparations being finally com- pleted, we bid our friends adieu, and started on our journey towards the “getting sun.”“Our journey was neither pleasant or prosperous, as we had a railroad accident, and lost part of our baggage, many of my most valued pos- sestions being in the missing trunk. The old fiddle, however, came through safe and sound, and when our home- stead was secured and our ldx16-foot cottonwood house completed, it was carefully hung upon the wall. I felt rich indeed. What if our house was poor and little, only one small room, there was ample compensation in the broad, beautiful acres which we pos- sessed? I, who had never owned even a village lot, to be the possessor of 160 of those, to me, mighty acres, was riches enough for the present. No king on his throne or queen in her paluce ever telt vichor or happior, Everspare hour was spent in planting and tending trees and shrubs, and planning for the beautiful home which we were to build there upon the praivie for ourselves and our children—a dream which has been real- ized by many besides myself. But hard times came, as it comes to all early settlers, and besides our beauti- ful acres wo were poor indeed. Provi- sious of all kinds weve very high. Much of our clothing had been lost in the trunk. We had one cow but no team, and had not been able to raise scarcely anything to eat, and in the second au- tumn things looked gloomy indeed. My husband had got some work of the earlier sottlers during the summer and early autumn, but all work was finished nowand there wus no prospect of any more until spring. A new boy baby had come to add his tiny might in helping us to open up our farm, making in all three little ones to be provided for. Still, if we could getsomething to eut, we would get along. I had mended and nade over our old clothes, my husbind had panked our little house almost to the eaves, and we could get fuel from a little stream not far away. But where was the corn to come from, we asked, to make our bread during the winter? We could not ask of our neighbors, for, though kind and obliging as neighbors always are in a new country, they were almost as poor as ourselves, and we had no wealthy relatives or friends in the east of whom we could ask help, I se0 no way,” said my husband, one day, “‘but we must go back as far as the' Missouri river, where I can get work to keep us through the winter,” “What! leave our homestead,” I said, with a feeling as though some one had stabbed me. “Yes; we cannot starve,” he said, gloomily, *‘and that is the last of our corn meal, is it not?” **Yes,” I answered, ‘‘but the sack uJ still nearly half full and something may turn up by the time it is gone.” ““Things do not turn up with me,” ho veplied, ‘unlese I turn them up, and we eannot wait much longer.” “Hat our homestead,” I said; ‘‘we shall be nearly sure to lose it if wo leave it and [ cannot bear that. There must be some other way. ““We will try to come back before six months and then we shall not lose it, for we have a right to | it for that length of time,” he answerced “But it 1s a great risk.” I replied, ‘'so | many time.” He said no more, but closed the door. while I sat down upon the edge of the bed, where my babe lay leeping, ond tried to think. Must we o it up after all our privation, our toil and hop Could it ba possible we must give it all up now? I had tried to be cheerful in all my hardships, always buoyed up by the hope thut we would have a good home at no very distant time. [ had fought my homesickness and my desire for better meansof living, always telling myseif I could not expect tho luxuries of an old country in this new wild region. But now to give it all up, it was too much: I could not control my- self longer, and the hot tenrs camo to oyes in <h, dropping off on the wce of the little sleeper, and sobs came thick and fast. Presently, however, 1 and wiped wway my tears, to worry my husband v for I knew he had enough already, and, as my older childr in, telling mo they were hungry wearily Lo prepare our suppor. fully I'handled the yellow meal, pr to me as gold dust, wondering next would cost us our homestead. After supper, as I w ing away the dishes and putting my house to rights, I saw two men coming up the path toward the house. One of them I recognized as o who lived about two miles distant; the other was a stranger. The on to the house and after the usual salutations and in- troductions, the stranger, whom our neighbor had introduced as Mr. Howard, s “We want things may happen before that went out and calmed myself resolving not h my fretting, to bear n came , I rose Care- fous if the to have a Thank party in our settlement. You heard of us perhaps? We are called the Crab Tree settlement and live about ten miles north of here. As we have a suit- able room and most of our young people are fond of dancing, we' concluded to have a dance.” T gave a start, but no one noticed me, and the man continued: “We . have every thing arranged except music, which seems to be very scarce in the west. There is not a piano ov organ west of the Missouri, and after soarch- ing three days one of your neighbors told me youowned and sometimes played a fiddle, so I came on here to see could engage you to play for our party.” “Will t ere be no one to assist me,” said my husband. “I suppose not.fov T eannot find even a jews harp besides” the man replied. My husband who had never played for danc- ing alone, hesitated a little whereupon Mr. Howard asked for a specimen of his skill. So taking down his old green bag he brought forth his fiddle and payed sore dunce music with which he va: familiar. There was nothing extraor nary in the music or its exccution bt the stranger seemed pleased and saia: ““Phat sounds refreshing and if you will come und play for us we will give you $10, and be much obliged besides.” My husband was not long 1n accepting his offer and after some more conversation Mr. Howard said: *‘Bring your wife along, [ am sure she will enjoy it and we will be glad to welcome her.” But as we had no team and my husband him- self would be obliged to walk it was noc to be thought of. Our neighbor, Mr. Arnold, here interposed and said **Mrs. Arnold’ and myself having been kindly invited propose going to this party, and as we have a team it will be only a short distance out of our way; we will come by your place and yon can ride with us just as well as not. Ihud been a great lover of parties in my girlish duys but since [ had been in the west I had had no thought of parties or society other than my famiiy and our fow neighbors. Then my children; it would be too much for them I thought, but Mr. Arnold said they would start early enough 10 arrive before sundown and would not start back until late the next morning, “*You must be sure and come, Mrs. Simpson,” said Mr. Arnold, **for 1 can see by the way your face hus brightened up since we have been talking that you will enjoy the party.” He did not know that the *“‘brighten- ing up” was due to the thought of the bread that $10 would buy, rather than to any anticipation of pleasure at the party. However, it was arranged that we should all go, aed shortly after the men took their leave. When the door had closed behind them I caught up the fiddle and cried out, *‘Bless the dear old fiddle; it has saved our home! And to think I wanted to leave it behind!” My husband smiled, and in that smilo the hard glassy look that had been in his face in the afternoon entirely disap- peared, and we retired to rest hopeful and happy once more. \t day was Monday, and as Thanksgiving was on the next Thursday and the party the evening before, I was up betimes 1n the morning to begin my preparations. Not very elaborate or extensive prepara- tions, for theve was no fine party dress for me and no evening suit for my husband. But I sponged, brashed and mended the ecloth and pol- ished the brass buttons of his old blue suit till they shone like gold, Then 1 brushed and mended my old delaine dvess and put a fresh bit of white linen at the neck and sleeve Afte ward [ washed my children’s dresses. They were only calico and somewhat faded at that, but I starched und ivoned them into respectability, and when I had furbished them up with a few bits of ribbon that hud seen much service, my preparations were completed. My hisband, also, was busy practicing on the old fiddle, and cleaning und mending up our old shoes to make all gay for the party. Wednesday, about 2 o'clock, Mr. und Mrvs, Arnold” came along. We were all veady, and had been straining our eager eyes for some time, watching for them, 80 we were soon on our way. It was a beautiful day—one of those warm, balmy days of our Nebraska autumns, and we uu{u)'u\l our trip greatly. Ve arrived in good season and were given & motherly welcome by Mrs. How- ard, the mother of the young man who had brought our good fortune, Supper was soon ready, and we sat down to a better meal than we had tasted for many weeks, After supper, putting my baby in my husband’s arms, with a grateful feeling at my heart, I offered to assist Mrs, Howard in clearing the table, She ac copted my services with thanks, and we were soon chatting like old friends. Soon other guests began to arrive and the house was filled to overflowing be- fore 10 o’clock. When my babies were all asleep [ went to the ball room with Mrs, How- ard, It did not need a fashion reporter to describe the costumes of those beaux and belles, for they were all dressed much like myself, "Calico and delaine dresses with white linen at the neck the throat andlfin the hair, composed most of the costemes of the Indies. The gentlemen we i attired. But no city hentf happler or brighter thay’ thby., About 2 o'cloc¥tWe party booke up, but as we were 46 réimain until morning, we were given arvary comfortable bed for the remaindBp’ of the night. My husband was very tived, but when he counted over th nfbney which had been given him, consisting mostly of small change, which id those duy wo called “shinplasters,” ganging in value from & t0 50 cents, he felt amply rewarded. In the motning when we were about to sturt!-home Mrs. Howard gave mo a j phekage which she aid contnined. . something for our Thanksgiving dinner. I thanked her with a full heary, and when Topened it on arviving home I found it dontained a baked praivie chicken, a pumpkin pi some molasses cookies and, us a rare treat, three largo apples. Not much of a dinner, you may thinlk, but when I had baked some and cooked n fow potatoes we thought it a most excellent dinner. And of all the dinners caten in this broad land none wius eaten with more thankful hearts than ours on that Thanksgiving day. When I took up the old fidlle to put it away, o fow tears dropped on it they were tears of thankfulness, and wiping them off with my best handkerchief I put it tenderly away in its green bag on the wall. The $10° would not keep us long, but during the winter my husband earned nearly $100. 30 we got comfortably through until spring and saved our homestead. phsilate " Ot Constipation poisons tne blood; DoWitt's Little Barly Risers curo constipation.
