! THE OMAHA DAILY wp e BEI: fi‘URDAY. FEBRUARY 9, AT MY 1895, COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Made a Gain Tarly on Favorable Foreign News, THAT CEREAL OPENED VERY STRONG Corn Begun Husiness One-Eighth of a Cent Mighor Than It Closed Yesterday and it Kept Advancing During the Forenoon. CHICAGO, Feb, 8.—Wheat made %e gain early on the favorable forelgn news, but Tost it later under realizing on the unfavor- able tomment upon the n:w bond lssue, clos- ing %c lower for May. May corn closed e lower, May oats %e and provisions at a decline, Wheat cpened unexpectedly strong at from Ble to bithe for May, compared with B3%c, the close yesterday. The strength was caused b the firmness of the Liverpool market, which had been looked for to glve its usual sympathy to the bears here. But the Buropeans are now experiencing a taste of the same temperature which has been freezing this countr, and more or less damage to winter wheat may be the cons quence over there. The recent re ord of small recelpts in this country was main- talned. Exports of wheat and flour from the Atlantic seaboard, including New Or- feans, were cqual te 200000 bu. St. Louis reported a revival of the country milling demand for wheat, and Kansas City re- orted flelds bare of snow at Enterprise an, The seaboard advised a good demand for wheat for export, a Baltimore m e reporting twenty-five boat loads taken th and at Newport News at an early period of the day. The reported placing of $32,40,000 bonds at 3% per cont by the secretary’ of the treasury did not appear ‘0 give satis: faction in the wheat pit, as traders followed the annou ment of that operation by in- creasing thelr selling. The price for May had up to that time \-r.‘.&« ved itself from .getting below Sie, and it sold as high as from Bivie (0 Bite, Bt after {he news of the bond istus it dropped to Oile, Where it closed. The corn market opened firm and e higher than it closed yesterday. It kept ad- vancing during the for:noon until about the time when the wheat traders were ex ressing their disappointment at the bond The descent from 4i%e, to which May had risen, to §6%c, at which rate some opening fales “had alfo been made, was easy, and the value of the article ‘about half 'an hour from the close was 45%c. Re- celpts were at most only nominal, the in- spection being only 63 cars, and none of those were of coatract quality. The demand from shorts disappeared during the latter part of the session and May closed at 5e, Only_n fair busfne:s was transacted in oats. Values were firmer during the entire day and_closed steady with May at from 29%c to Wic, after having sold from 2l o that price. Fluctuations were ruled largely by corn. Provisions started strong and in line with the grain markets, but long before the lat- ter gave any signs of weakness the deal- ers in pork, lard and ribs had turned around from 'the bull to the bear side. The packers were given the credit of starting he esliing, which changed the tone of the market. The impression seems to be that as soon as the weather moderates the run of hogs will be heavy. May opened up 50, but closed at 22isc 108§ for the day. Lard, for May, closed at $6.70, as against $6.77%4 esterday. Ribs, which' closed at $5.40 on he day before, ‘clos:d at $5.30. Bstimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 3 cars; corn, 3 cars; oats, 18 cars; hogs, 14,000 head. The leading futures ranged as follows: TArticies, | Opsu. | High, |_Low. | Closs.

The total sales were 8607 The Evening Post's London cans’ opened duli today on Springer. bill, but rallied on a complete change of front of the Financlal Times, which now ad- vises the purchase of certain American rafl- way securities. Wall street selling turned the scale, the market closing dull, with®a further Severe slump in the Grand Trunks, which were almost unealable, There are the usual rumors to the forthcoming expert testimony on the company, but they are probably exaggerated. The Bvening Post's London cablegram says: It is belleved here the contract for the_American loan mer:ly walts signature at Washington today, and although there is some uncertainty of its issue by the Rothechilds and Morgan syndicate, it is expected to be put out here next' week. Well informed estimates say that $30,000,000 will be placed on each side of the Atlantic. A conslderable portion of the Iuropean portion Is likely to go to Paris.

SIOUX FALLS, 8. D, Feb. 8.—(Special.)— Some time ago the county commissioners arranged to supply fthe farmers of this county with seed grain for this year. The application is made in the form of an affl- davit stating that they are unable to secure seed grain for this year, and merely ask for enough to seed thelr land. In payment they glve promissory notes secured by o mortgage on the harvest and on the land, due December 1. The applications from twenty-four townships in the county amount to about 13,000 bushels of wheat, 3,000 bush- els of barley, 22,000 of oats and '300 of corn. The farmers feel that they wiil be abun- dantly able in the fall to pay for this grain and have plenty to live upon during the season ana enough, to plant next year.

An_ assignment in a petition in error not relied upon in the briefs filed will be deemed walved, 5.

Opinion by Chief Justies Norval It is not essential to the validity of a Judgment rendered by a county court that it be entered uponi the docket in the Judge's own handwiting, or that it be attest d by his signature. If ‘the julgment actually rendered, is spread upon the county - court vecords tnder the direction and supervision of tho judge it is sufficient. 2.

A judgment of the dstrict court of this state cannot be reached by garnishment proceedings before (he county court Gern against Church et al. irror from r couaty, Reversed, with instruc- Opinlon by Commissioner Ragan, iry Gerner signed a contract or sub- seription paper, agreeing to pay Kdward A. Church and Henry Oliver or order $200, on condition that they should erect or cause to be erected on ths southwest corner of P and Thirteenth streets in the city of Iin- coln, in a time specified, an op'ra house covering @ space of ground 100 feet front on P and 142 feet deep on Thirteenth street. The audience room and galleries of such opera house were to have a seating c pacity of 1,70. The subscription was pa able in installments, but all' due when the opera_house was completed and ready for occupancy, in u €8t by Church & Oliver against Gerner on said subscription the court in- structed the Jury: By seating capacity of 1700, as u waid contract crip- tion, Is me th> capacity of opera house to s 700 auditors on permanent or temporary seats, £o that they can both hear and see the exhibition given from the stage and still leave sufficlent room in the passageways for th> auditors to pass to and from their seats going in and out of the building.” Held: First, That the instruction was correct Second, That in order for the opera house as constructed to comply with the subscrip- tion contract as to seating capacity it was not necessary that the_audience room and galleries should have 1,700 fixed and perma- nent seats. 2, On such trial Gerner offered to prove that the opera house constructed by Church & Oliver was erected with a trussed roof; that the outside or inclosing walls wers sixty-five feet high and 112 feet in length; that the bullding was constructed without any cross walls of equal height with the inclosing walls, and that the outside walls were of an average thickness of not to ex- ceed seventeen in This evidence the court excluded. Gerner alto offered in evi- dence section 513 of the municipal code of the clity of Lincoln, in force at the time the subserfption contract was made and the opera house was built, and which provided that: “The outside walls of-rooms having trussed roofs or cellings, such as churches, public halls, theaters, *' * * if more than fifteen and fless than twenty-five feet high, shall average at least sixteen Inches; if over twenty-five feet high, at = least ' twenty inches; if over forty-five feet high, at least twenty-four inches in thickness: in- crease of four inches in thickness shall be made in all cases where the walls are oyer 100 feet long, unless there are cross walls of equal helght.”” This evidencs the court excluded. Held: First, That the subject matter of the ord:- nance was within the legislative jurisdiction of_the city_council, Second, "That the ordinances wers within the rulethat the law of the place where contract is made enterd into and becomes a part of euch contract, hird, That Gerner's contract was one of donatjon,and that the courts cannot presume that he agreed to make this donation upon any other terms than that Church & Oliver should construct a building in accordance with the ordinances of the city in which such building was erected. Fourth, That the court erred in excluding the evidence, 3. On the trial Gerner offered to testify that at the time of signing the contract in suit that Church & Oliver promised him that the opera house should be constructed of stone in its first story, of pressed brick with cut stone trimmings above the first story and with copper cornices. This evi- dence the court excluded, Held: First, That the evidence offered did not tend to explain, but to contradict and alter the agreement between the parties. Second, That it did not tend to show that Gerner was induced by fraud of Church & Oliver to execute the contract. rd, That there was no ambi the contract. uamblealty, in Fourth, That the court did not err in ex- cluding the evidence. 4. In a suit on a written contract for a subscription pavable on certaln conditions mentloned in_such contract, parol evidence is not admissible, in the absence of fraud, to show that the subscriptions were not to be payable except upon certain other con- ditions not enumerated In the contract, 5. On the trial Gerner Introduced in evi- dence a writing signed by Church & Oliver, bearing the same date as the subscription paper in suit. This writing was delivered to one Marshall and recited that he had signed o subscription paper agreelng. to pay Church & Oliver $1,000 for the building of "the opera. house. The writing was in effect a modification of Marshall's contract or subscription, as it made the subscription payable when' Marshall had sold certain described real estatet. Gerner was then acked certain questions by his counsel, which tended to elicit evi- dence showing’that at and before the time he sighed the tontract in suit Church & Oli- ver represented to him that Marshall had subseribed a similar contract for = $1,000, which would be nayable on the same cond tlons as would Gerner's subscription If he signed. " This evidence the court excluded. eld: First, that the evidence tended to show a material misrepresentation made by Church & Oliver to Gerner, which induced him to execute the contract in suit.

No- bond bill has passed o is likely to pass. congr and in the two months ending with February 1 the treasury actually lost | 965,000,000 in gold, of which $15,000,00 went | Into_circulation and $26,800,000, besides the. product of the m¥nesgwint abroad, To ar~ rest this outgo In elther dircetion Is a prob- lem which another lssue of bonds may per- haps folve It s hoped thut negotiations. with foreign bankers may secure some im- provement, and it is clear that sales of se- curities here will have the same effect as. if the bonds were placed in this country and the outflow may not be stopped by the: new transactions, The condition of industries, if not defi- nitely better, at least present me points of encouragement. No advance in the prices of manufactured products Andicates a better demand. On the contrar iron and steel products have slightly declinéd for the week, and for the month, and In compari- fon with pric of October, 1890, are but 5.k per cent, against 5.8 per’ cent January i. During “the week the demand has been checked by the higher prices at Pittsburg, 0 that Bessemer jron rec:ded a little, while structural products, in spile of some large contracts, ars a shade lower, Some reduc- tions of ‘wages are reported In bar iron, and the demand for ralls does not Increase. There 1s a little better tone at iladelphia, and sales of pig are quite heavy there, At Chicago things are brighter, pig iron 18 in better demand and fair orders are comin for bar, but structural orders are delayed by severe weather. Tin has been lifted a shade by speculation and lead is steady, but copper is slow of sule and weak at 98 cents. for lake, In cotton goods there has been a reduc- tion {n some brown sheetings, while other qualities are moving fairly at unchanged prices, The general tone of the market, however, {8 not articularly encouraging. A large’ auction sale of sifks resulted in prices 10 per cent below the recent market, or September prices. In woolens the open= ngs of the finer grades for the heavy son have brought some increase . but not at satisfactory prices, Quplicate orders in__the light. are unusually large. Sales of wool his ye been 17,308,665 pounds. agalnst 12,921,600 pounds last 245,500 pounds in 1893, and of for- eign 1L03$550 pounds, against 1,604,300 pounds last year and 10,667,350 pounds in 1803, It Is noticeable that sales of forelgn wool have been materially larger this year without duties than they were in the same weeks of 1803 and 1802, No improvement in the prices of farm products has result:td on the somewhat active speculation during the week, wheat being only 1 cent hicher than a week ago, Wwith western, reccipts only 20481 bushels: against 2,240,256 bushels last 'year, while exports have been. a little smaller. - The western receipts for. the month have been 5,512,272 bushels, against 2,499,710 bushels last year. Recelpts of corn have been small, but prices have slightly advanced. Prices of cotton are unchanged, although the receipts. continue unusually large for the season. Failures for the past week have been 281 in the United States, against 3 last year, and 58 in Canad nst 60 last year. BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW. while welght thus fi of domes| year and Storms and Finaucial Uncertalnty Have Checked Trade. NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—Bradstreel's tomor~ row will say: Extremely low temperature, snow and high winds have visited the greater portions of the country this week and have had a marked Influence by re- stricting orders received by jobbers ini all lines. But' they have tended to stimulate purchases of seasonable goods. The New: Rork stock market has ‘heen waiting for results on currency legislation and the ex~ pected bond issue. The uncertainty about tho latter checked buying, but the belief that the lssuc would be announced stopped bearish manipulation of the market. The tons has consequently been firm without any_activity. Forelgn exchange has broken to $4.88 for demand for sterling upon the sentiment and_influence of the anticipated sale of bonds abroad. Wheat stocks avail= able here in Canada and afloat for Burope amounted to 181,419,900 bushels on the 1St inst,, a good deal more than was o held on like dates in 1889 to 1892, {nclusive, 3,81 00 bushels more than on February 1, 1893, but 2,508,000 bushels less than on that date last year. American wheat stocks decreased 6,974,000 bushels In January, 1805, against Jantary decreases of only “$08,0:0° to ‘324,000 bushels respectively in 1894 and 1893, But this is offset by an increase of Buropeam stocks avallable and afloat last month of 640,000 bushels, whereas In that month last year Iuropean’and afloat wheat stocks de cased 5,468,000 bushels and two years ago. 3,000,000 bushels. Prices, in the main, however, show a fa= vorable tendency, sugar alone of the more- mportant staples having declined on the week, Iven cotton has remained firm at last tveelcs closing quotation and wool and. coffer are unchanged. Prices are also steady for pig iron and steel billets, thought request for the same is not equal to ex- pectationst improv:ment in this industry Deing i the demand for Dlates, bar and structural iron. Li cattle and hogs are firm, with an upward te:dency, particularly Within, o day or two. Advances include those for leather at home points, fruits and products under the: stimuius of the cold weather, and wheat, corn, oats, pork and lard. Anthracite coal is'reported firmer, with improved demand. Ixports of wheat {iour Included) from both coasts of the United States amount to only 2.220,201 bush= el this week, agaipst 2,403,0.0 bushels last weels, 2,078,000 bushels 1 tie corresponding week one year ago, 3,931,000 bushels two years ago and 8,611,000 bushels three years Ao, Weekly exports of wheat within the pist four weeks have steadily declined from 8,561,000 bushels to 2,220 00) bushels, Tho damage by the Florlda frecz was ex= aggerated, A large portion of the crop had already been marketed. Only the late crop and that held for higher prics was caught iind destroyed, Some youn trees were hurt, but ‘old. groves were practically uninjured: Heavy lassen fell on large growers. A good but small crop Is expect this year. Re=- sults of Florida naval stores and ‘phosphate industries, und farming are sald to tsfactory. ckot.
