‘COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL . Wheat Closed Btrong After Indicating a Dispeeition to Break, STAGNATION PREVAILED IN CORN Fluctuations Were of the Lightest and the Trade of the Smallest Proportions of thie Bcason—Provision Pit the Liveliest on the ¥Floor, CHICAGO, March 7.-After Indicating pretty strongly t it was to make a fur- ther break today, wheat turned about and closed strong at the same figures as on the day before, The firmness near the end was due to the considerable quantity of cash wheat worked here for shipment and to buying near the close of some in New York, #ald to be on an order from Paris. Corn and oats were very dull again and closed without change In price. Provigons acted nervously Strong. The course of the wheat market during the first twenty minutes, when It advanced a little, was largely a_matter of cold-bic ©d slugging by some heavy bear operators May star ak with scllers and trading was at from 53%c to k¢, and worked up to from 6i%e to Git4e. Following that it dropped to from B3%c to G3%e. The Cincin- natl Price Current was very bullish in its remarks, and the French country ma as reported officlally were the equivalent of from to 6o higher, A French cable- gram to a New York house said no serious apprehensions prevailed concerning the amount of damage done to the growing crop. Another dfspatch from Paris sald there was no question about the dama the only uncertainty was amount “of it; but =till another from that place said that the weather in France was improving, and the tter ap- peared to settle the matter o far as the crowd in Chicago was concerned. The clearances of wheat and flour from At- lantic ports, Including 10,000 bu. from New Orleans, were only equal to 109,00 bu., and that wis one of the weakening_influences which depressed wheat he about the middle of the ession. matter which was a factor in the decline was the report that a-committee was likely to be appointed by the state warehouse commis- sloners to examine (nto the condition of the wheat fn the Chica he mar- sc for May. The fact 7. 2 red wheat for im- mediate loading and for shipment at the opening of lake navigation was worked here was an element in the closing sirength. There were rumors of a much Iarger quans 1ity having been worked, but only 75,000 bu. at e under the May price could he con- firmed, New York wired that some buying of cash wh on an order from Pams had caused a strong closing in the market there. In corn it was a_repetition of yesterday's stagnation. The fluctuations were of the Jightest and the trade of the smallest pro- portions, usually scen in the days of mid- Bummer. After fluctuating wearily over a Ye range, prices at the close were at the same point at which trading ceased yester- day. May sold from dc to 14%c and closed e, ats' were almost lifeless, range for the day. Theé steady, influenced by corn, 2®%e and closed at e, The provision market was the liveliest on the floor. Manipulation frightened the deal- ers and caused vigorous trading. There was some selling, but after slight reactions the market wound up firm.

NEW YORK, March 7.—Sugar saved the stock market today from extreme stagnation and at the same time gave new evidence of its ability to furnish the street with a mild sensation with- out notice. During the past few days the div- \dend question was the topic of the street, asd was the cause of @ renewal of the purchasing movement, under the influence of waich the stock again moved upward, closing at 9%, the Highest price of the day, and 3% per cent above yesterday's closing sale. The transactions in the stock agEregated 158,000 shares, which s igest total for a day this year. The el market was dull and without special featur AU the Opealng prices were a small fraction higher, with but few exceptions, and in the carly trading gains of @1 per cent were re- corded, the latter in Gréat Northren prefer Shortly before 11 o'clock @ reaction sel in, fc lowed by & rully and another recession before long, the changes, however., being narrow. Dur- ing the hour following midday speculation was intensely dull, but subsequently, under the Influ- ence of the bull movement in Sugar, the general market became strong, New Jersey Central sell- al ink up (0 A%, an advauce of 13 per cent from the low point of the day, the other gains being merely fractional. In the last hour speculation was irregular, but the market closed fairly steady and at 4n advance of 14G2 per cent on the day. The movement in pricts for speculative bonds was extremely nariow, bul among the lnactive securities there wers materfal changes. walen wore $861,500 The Evening Post's London cablegram saye: The increase in the Bank of England's coln this week was dus o net imports for the week of 242,000, the Aetalis belng €130,000 fmported from Anstraiia, 150,000 trom Roumania, 54,00 from Parls, and £35,00 exported to Roumania.

The room was filled with an interested audience, which included a number of members of (he city council and other municipal officers. Judge Doane presided. The functions of a municipal government, said Mr. Rosewater, had not been considered when the original constitution of this country framed. Municipal franchises were then unknown and General Washington had never heard of such things as gas works, ntr railways and electric lights, consequently with all their wisdom, the original leglslators had made no provisions which should form a Dasls for the control and regulation of these corporations, The first class wi of franchises considered by the speaker comprised those relating to the water works companics. These franchises had been granted because it was urged that a city government was so constituted that it could not successfully run its own water works plant, and also that to do this would open up a large fleld for political corruption and abuse. This view was combatted by the speaker, who cited the history of the public schools as an illustration of the possibilities of public_enterprise as compared with that of individuals. At the present time there were water works systems in the United Of these 80 per cent of the capital inves was controlled by public ownership, and the remainder was rapidly coming under the same jurisdiction, It had been found that the cost of construction and maintenance was materially cheaper where it was done by public enterprise than in cases where it was accomplished by private corporatic The cost to the consumer was also much less where the system was under public con- trol. This was easily explained, because when the system was under the control of the city the aim wns to give the greatest possible service at the least expense to the people, while a private corporation very naturally directed its cfforts towards giving as little as possible and getting the best possible com- pensation from it, WATER WORKS COMPANY. In this connection Mr. Roscwater called attention to the extent to which the Amer- ican Water Works company of Omaha evaded taxation. Mr. Bierbower, who was one of the receivers of the plant, had claimed that the actual valuation of the plant was $4,900,000. He also claimed that the company paid taxes on a valuation of $221,000. Granting this to be a fact, it was paying taxes on a plant worth $2,210,000. This left $1,000,000 on which it was not taxed a dollar. This was equal to 1,900 homes of mechanics and la- boring men worth §1,000 each. If some one should strike these 1,900 homes from the tax list there would be a frantic complaint, but this corporation was allowed to dodge taxes on this immense amount, without definite ob- jection. The speaker then cited statistics which indicated the large profits which had accrued to the company, which largely ex- ceeded in proportion those which any busi tiess man was able to earn. The income of the company in Omaha and South Omaha from hydrant rentals alone was over $90,000. In support of his position, the speaker read an advertissment which the water works company had inserted in the New York World when it was about to float honds, in 1889, In this publication it was represented that the company was enjoying a bonanza at the expense of the taxpayers of Omaha. It had a contract under which competition was impossible, and which admitted of no reduction In rates without the consent of the company. In the same publication it was etated that a conservative estimate of the earnings of the company was as follows 1890, $300,000; 1891, $360,000; 1892, $425,000; 1893, $490,000; 1894, $560,000; 1895, $630,000; 1896, 710,000; 1897, $500,000; 1898, $900,000. It was well known, continued Mr. Rose- water, that the origin of the receivership was in the action of the company in taking the profits of the Omaha plant to retrieve the losses of its venture in Denver, where it had furnished water free for a year, the bill being virtually footed by the Omaha con- sumers. It was easy to see how much Omaha would have profited if its water works had been under public control. Mr. Rosewater then turned his attention to political corruption in connection with such franchises, This had its birth in the very beginning, when it was necessary to get an ordinance granting the franchise through the city council. Then the practice was to econ- omize by keeping just as far outside of the provisions of the franchise as the public would tolerate, In order to keep things moy- ing smoothly it was necessary that the com- pany should sccure friendly legislation by having its friends in the council. It formed a pool and a certain amount of money was put _into it every year. It nominated t candidates of all ‘political parties and when- ever a man appeared as a candidate for office ho was Interviewed as to his attitude toward its interests. If he was not willing to do as it wished the chances were tnat he would find himself defeated, either in the convention or at the polls, and even if he succeeded in get- ting into office the combine was able to bring 50 much pressure to bear that it was very difficult for him to oppose Its Interests, This was anarchy in its worst form, and it was bound to result in a revolution in this country unless something was done to con- trol it. STREET RAILWAY SNAP, The subject of street rallway franchises was then considered. The original law under which these franchises were granted pro- vided that every item in the cost of construc- tion and operation of the system should be public property, but in the modern system this precaution had been entirely over- looked. No one was able to tell within 200 per cent what a street railway company was making, and the public was consequently at the mercy of the corporation. In most of the other cities of the United States the city had some check on the street railway companies by which they could regulate them and pro- tect the public from imposition, In discussing the matter of electric lizht ing, Mr. Rosewater called attention to indications of the fine Italian of the corporations in the of many of the states. They had ceeded in getting laws passed which hibited the cities from selling light to pri vate coneumers, In this manner the city was shut out of the paying end of the bus- iness. It might light its own streets, but it could not reap the profits which accrued from commercial lighting. ‘In this manner the public was denied a privilege which was enjoyed by the franchised corporations. The speaker elicited a round of applause by referring to the popular clamor for retrench- ment. People demanded that the salaries of clerks in the municipal departments be re- duced, when the amount that could be :aved in this way was a mere bagatelle in compar- ison with the thousands of dollars that could be saved by striking at the root of the evil of high taxation in making the corpora pay their share of the expenses of govern- ment. 1,600 suc- pr R Easlly Proved Alibi. vietor Almquist, who was arrested in this city some time ago on the charge of robbing John Hoberg in Denver of $100, has returned to Omaha, having proved an alibi and sccurel an honorable dismissal.

Charles Stevenson reside In a coltage at Twenty-fourth und Leavenworth strects, For fome time Mrs, Stovencon had had reason to believe that her spouse was untrue to ler, and iast night she made up Nher mind to find out It her suspicions wero true. When Charles left the fireside last night to go down town, ostensibly on some fmportant business, Mrs, Stevenson sauntered along in the rear, at a reasonable distance, and for the purpose of seeing in what com= pany her husband was intending to spend the evening Mr. Stevenson and his shadow wandered around until the brick flat at Fifs teenth and Chicago streets was reachedy when he suddenly disappeared in a stairway, to the chagrin of the wife. Mrs. Stevenson, belng a woman of conside crable nerve, was not very long in making up her mind what to do, and after waiting down stalrs awhile to sce If her husband would not soon return decided that he had 1o such Intentions, and thercupon deter= mined that the only thing for her to do was to go up and get him. With some misgiv- ings she mado her way up the winding stairs on tip toe, and after sauntering around in the half for a #iort time she heard some voices, and recognifed, among the others, her husband’s. This was too much, for the other volces were those of the pentler sex, and she determined that it should end right there. She rapped on the door, but no ans swer came. She then turned the knob, and in sho walked. Two women were sitting in the room, but Charlie was fn bed, and as soon as the women found that the womans who had just eatored was Mrs, Stevenson they hurrierly made their cscape. Not 80 with the husband, aud what conversation took place & not Known, but whon the wife came out of the room she had her husband's pants under her arm and he was still in bed. Mre. Stevenson repaired to the pollce sta. tion in a very angry mood and reported the facts to the police and asked to have her husband locked up, but the police declded that they had no jurisdiction under the olr- cumstances. Mrs, “Stevenson then went to her home, promising to return in the morn~ ing and swear out a warrant for the parties who inhabit the flat where she left her huse band pantsless. e -—— ANNOUNCEMENTS, The “Two Orphans” will be the bill at the Empire tonight and Saturday evening, belng interpreted by a thoroughly competent com- pany, and should meet with a_continuation of thie success which attended the com= pany during the week. “Little Lord Fauntles roy™ will be produccd at the Saturday matinee. when any reserved seat may be obtained for 25 cents.
