COUNTRY COLLECTIONS NONE TOO'GOOD
h 11 ilk ClrnrlnK * Inilloiitr n UCOI V < T > -
from In < it Ycnr'N Ij m- Point
Oiiinlui K T | > I'nt'i * with Hie
Hi-lit of the Country.
The Reneral business situation can hardly
l > e trnlil to present any new features of Im
portance , the conditions remaining about the
name ns noted a week ngo. There IB noth-
ItiK to be trained by denying the fact thnt
business lm not experienced the expected
Iniptovemcnt since tlie first of the year.
In Omahn It wao hardly antlclpnti-d thot
there would be nny very marked Improve
ment , owing to the scarcity of mousy In
tributary territory , but In the couiury-nt-
larRc a general revival of business had been
cxpcrtcd. With few exceptions the business
Int..MB of the whole country appear to lo
itiiowing' the waiting policy. Whin the
jiutLbsB of the last bond Issue was an
nounced It was believed there would be an
upwind movement In the buslnau world ,
but It did not come. There arc nppArontlj'
other causes still that must'be gotten out of
the : way before activity In trade circles ian
btct.nifl a reality.
li .the meantime Omaha appsirs IP l-c
keeping up with the country at larse , nnd
while the Improvement over last jcnr Is
email this section averages up about as well
as the balance of the continent. During the
past week the bank clearings show nn In
crease , RH compared with the corrcsnandlng
period or las < t year of 1.G per cent , will Id the
nvuinRo gain for the whole roiinti ; ' was
only C.7 per cent. The only city In this sec
tion that rcportn u large gain Is Minneapolis ,
while Kansau City shows a decrease of 5.2
per cent , Denver 7.5 , and St. Joseph IS 2 per
cent. St. 1'nul shows a gain of 6 per pent
nut ) Sioux City n falling off of oVcr.10 per
cent. It tlm bank clearings arc any Indica
tion they would seem to prove that Omaha
Is nit doing so badly after all as compared
with other western and northwestern cities.
Moat houses report a fair business doing
nnd a slight gnlri.over corresponding periods
of last year. In some Instances very large-
gains arc pointed out , but they are to bo
explained us the result of Roma special
cause , such nn the going out of business of
ono house nnd the division of Its business
between the remaining houses. The volume
of business doing H on an avcrngo just a
llttlu larger than last year.
There Is a feeling that the period of de
pression has been more prolonged than the
ticcspteil theories' say It should be , nnd that
by this time the country ought to be emerg
ing from It. For that reason n good many
bu&'ness ' men are looking for Improvement
in the near future unless some local cause
prevents It.LIVE
LIVE STOCK TIIADE.
business at South Omaha Is stll ! light ,
nnd llvero Is no apparent reason for an
ticipating any Immediate gain. The receipts
of ad kinds of live stock are light- and the
volume of business doing is In consequence
Hmall. At the samn time , other markets
nre doing a largo business , and there Is
nothing in the condition of the country to
\vnirant the situation being such as It Is
at South Omaha. As a matter of fact , there
nro less catllo feeding In Nebraska than
usual , but If all the cattle In the state
that arc going forward to market were
coming to South Omaha there would be no
Just cause for complaint. Such Is not the
case , however , as there are plenty of cattle
KoliiK out of the state lo other markets
under the Influence of more favorable rates ,
or from other causes. The same thing 1 ?
true of hogs , thousands of head being
shipped from the South Plntto country to
swell the receipts of other markets.
PHODUCU DISTRICT INTERESTED.
" Business In the produce district during
the past week has lieeu of n very unin
teresting character. The market has not
shown much change , values being about
steady on most lines of produce , while the
demand has not been very Drlsk.
C mmlsslon houses , hand'.lng dairy pro
ducts , nnd the wholesale grocers , are con
siderably Interested In the proposed law
n&alnst the manufacture of "tilled" cheese ,
wlilbh Is being urged ut Washington. This
state , however. Is less Interested than most
nny other agricultural state In the north
, t'Or westfts It does not itroduco cheese In
nny quantity , " nnd has never been a large
consumer of "lllled" cheese.
Wisconsin supplies the most of the cheese
used In this state , both the genuine and
spurious article. The "fl'.led" cheese sales
man shows up In the springtime and usu
ally brings along a car cf his goods , which
' lie will offer at about 7 cents , when good
cbeeso Is selling at 10 cents. As a rule he
will plhco this cheese with the retailers
and after ho has fll'.eil tnem full he will
offer nnvj that ho may nave lett to the
, commission houses to be sold on commis-
plon Ihe house receiving It to advance abDiit
x C cents on It. which Is as much an the
factory ever expects to get out of It.
Filled cheese has never taken well In this
cltl' . nnd cheese men are very bitter npalnst
It on the ground that It Is ruining the ex
port trade nnd setting a. Rood muny people
3n this country against cncese. and thus
reducing the consumption , both at home
and abroad. In the calendar year 189o the
exports of cheese aggregated nearly 41-
000,000 pounds , against 03,000,000 pounds In
1891. and the value of these exports fell off
nciuly 50 per cent. In the linen' yenrJ8&
the oxportH of cheese aggregated 112,000.000
nouiulp. This heavy decrease In the exports
is lu striking contrast with the heavy gains
In'tho exports of cheese rrom Canada. In
' JS70 this country exported 47.000,000 , pounds
of cheese and Canada less than 4,000000
pounds , llurlngthu fiscal year ending June
SO , while the shipments of cheese from this
country amounted to nearly GO.OOO.OX ) Pounds
the i-hlpments from Canac.i were 146,000,000
pounds. In other word * . Canada now ex
ports nearly three times us much cheese
a the United States , whereas twenty-five
years ago Canadian exports -were less than
The Canadian law prohibits the manu
facture of "tilled" chcebe.
SHOUT'ON CKDAU WOOD.
Dealers In clgnra ura noticing the fact that
cedar cigar boxes an > not BO plentiful as
thev were and that Imitation cedar and
veneered cedar lire being used to even u
greater extent than usual. It Is a well
Icnuvvn fact that the cedar wood from which
cluur boxes Is made come hugely from
Cuba , and owing to the war , It It almost Im-
pouslUle to secure supplies. The small
amount of cedar that remains In this coun
try Is In the hands of speculators who are
asking u heavy advance In pricey. It takes
u whole year to land a log In the United
Status from Cubs , so that If the war were
to end In the neur fntun It would be some
time buforo a nuppioc lumber adequate to
the demand could bo secured.

CHICAGO , March 7. Wheat today
completely under the control of the bears
and they succeeded In hammering prices
down from KO to % c. There was hardly
nny sustaining Influence and the bear sen
timent waa helped materially by the devel

vtre neglected and _ made but little change
1'ravlslons showed Irregular declines.
A drop of Id In wheat futures at Liver
pool and 1,151.000 bu. shipped from Argentine
last week continued yesterday's weakness In
wheat here when trading commenced. May ,
which closed yesterday ni KlJic , opened this
morning- from C3V4o to C3\4c. \ The feeling
developed was n little nervous anil several
prominent operators were active sellers. It
Bold about 11 o'clock nt C5c and a few lives
sold for 1-lCc less. Clearances of wheat nnd
flour from both ) coasts for the week were
only 2.407,000 bu. against 2,200,000 bu. on the
week before and 3,272.000 bu. on the corresponding
spending week of the previous year. That
alro helped the bears a little and when the
ctrarances for twenty-four hours from the
Atlantic seaboard were found to be very
light nnd comprised only 11,78.1 bu. of wheat
thn Increased weakness which caused the
selling that resulted In the break to B5c was
started. Another fact which demoralized
the friends of wheat was the Corn Trade
News report , showlnpr thnt European stocks
had decreased only " 00,000 bu. during Febru
ary , against 16,000,000 bu. decrease during
January. This seems to show that nny hope
for Improvement here or abroad based on
scarcity In Europe Is hardly warranted. The
result was that mnny longs who have been
holding on lost courage and threw over tholr
burdens. It was this thing more than the
putting of short lines that gave the market
HH black eye. On the extreme decline there
vnt some covering by hhorts , which caused
some reaction , but at no time was there
much strength developed , and May closed
weak at G5c bid , after having sold to from
% c to C5c.
Corn was. Influenced by the weakness
In wheat , but trading was so extrcmelf
light that little change In prices was noted.
May opened a shade easier nt 30 < &c and
fluctuated with a * &c range , closing easy at
30c bid.
Oats showed no more activity than corn
but was rather more firm , receiving fair
country'support. May opened unchanged at
0c , sold to 21c nnd closed nt the opening
price.
In provisions but little trading was done
and that for the most part at n Blight de
cline. The opening was rather firm on the
Improved live stoclc prices , but weakness
of the grain markets soon counteracted
this nnd at the close pork had declined 7'/4
and lard and ribs 2c each.
Estimates for Mondav : Wheat , 80 cars

Feature of Sntnrilny'M Security 3Inr-
liet WIIM Mnrkcil Activity. ,
NEW YORK , March 7 , The feature of today's
stock market was marked activity , attended by
pronounced weakness In Tobacco. The opera
tions In that stoclc amounted to 63,100 shares
out of nn aggregate for the day of 11C.OOO shares.
Liquidation by Insiders was noted , nnd the pro-
fefslonal traders were nctiver depressing the Etock
to 71 % . In tli9 inle speculation a recovery pf 2
per cent ensued , chleily on covering by shorts.
The old argument against Tobacco is still ap
plicable , namely , tliu persistent policy of the
management to cany on tlie war against tin
cutsldc manufacturers. It Is ftiitad that the re
cent minor of a provable Impending Issue of about
Jl.OuO.OOO In new preferred stock , bused upon the
fact , now alleged , Ihat certain Insiders who took
ccrlp In return for ndvances made by them will
now b < ? paid in the manner suggeuted , American
Cotton oil stocks attracted attention by rumors
of unsatisfactory trade conditions , which , It was
alleged , might affect the prospects. It seemed a
llttlo early to discuss the preferred dividend , as
Ita \ not duu until next June. A director of the
company Informed n representative of the Asso
ciated press that for the first five months of
tlie ilbcM year , up tn February .1 , the earnings
had been In excen of those for thu corrti pondlng
period of last year , had been fully up to
the lequlreimnls for Interest on the debenture
bonds and for the proporllon of the dividend on the
pieferred stock for the live months , and that the
outlook was for Improvement In the company's
buslmss. Tlie prefcncd rallied 3 per cent ,
The general list was devoid of featuie , aside
from General Electric , which advanced 154 per
cent on mnnlpulatlcn by u new pool In the stock.
Fractional concessions occurred In a number of
Instances In sympathy with the depression In To
bacco , bvt In Ihe lutt a general upward move
ment cntrled pi Ices to Ihe level of last night's
llnnl figures. The closing was dull and llrm.
Tin' speculation of the week has again been
Inllucnced to a large extent by outside considera
tions , nolnbly thu political unrest abroad nnd
the Cuban belligerency resolutions. Except in
ono or twii Instances , tha bulk of the operations
lias been conducted by the professional tmders
In the Industrial shares , The arguments em
ployed against tlie active securities In thU clues
; are practically unchanged.
, Tobacco early displayed Bticngth pn covering
; by bhorts , and gained l'i ' per celt tn go. Early
leporta of an Impending' Issue of preferred stock
, and of aggt-esslvu action by the opposition to
, the trust caused heavy cellinga considerable
. proportion of tlie ordcis coming apparently from
the Inside. A decline to 71H lesulted , with a
llnal recovery to 73 % . United States Rubber
shares were unfavorably affected by selling In
, connection with the retirement cf the president
. mid of powerful Interests In the directory. The
common stock sold off C per cent to 27H , and the
preferred 3 per cent to 83. The first mentioned
, was luniiorted ut the lower range and Improved
- to 34Vi ut the close.
, lu the railroad list tlie most Important develop
ment was the culmination of the Mnunelul em-
; ImriuBurm-nt of the Hiiltlmore" & Ohio lullrouO
in thu appointment of receivers for the property.
, For a long time previously experienced railroad

TUI3 COST OP A KISS.
A AVnrnliiK to Aeeil nml IiuiiilnlTe
Co 11 IT I urn nf Iti-iit.
Chlcimo Tribune ,
Mrs. Goodoll wns a young nnd pretty
woman who lived near Marlon In the neigh
boring state ot Indiana , Two years ago she
had for her landlord Mr. Wlnslow , who wns
not young nnd pretty , but wlio was 70 nnd A
Quaker , and therefore should Irnvo known
how to behave himself.
Hut one day In 1804 , when lie went to
collect his rent , ho endeavored to collect n
kiss from his tenant. She objected , for there
was no mention ot such payments In tlio
lease , 'and during years of democratic panlo
ono cannot glvo even kisses for nothing.
But , beyond all else , the landlord was 70
and the tenant was less than half his age.
So she made a great row , not only then ,
but thereafter. She threatened to have him
arrested , but ho paid her $250 nnd that
calmed her anger for n time. Hut her re
sentment got the upper hand and she brought
suit for assault and battery , but the case
was decided against her.
Then the ven rnblo Quaker , dlstegardful
of the peaceful doctrines of his sect , bud his
tenant arrested for blackmail. That suit
was dismissed for want ot evidence. " Then
she retorted with a suit for false prosecution
and has won It , the jury giving her J150
damages.
Probably this will not be the end o'f the
litigation , which has been going on for two
years , and which lias occupied much of the
time of the courts of three counties. But
thus far the cost of that one stolen kiss
foots up in excess of $2,000. The court costs
alone amount to $1,000. What the lawyers
have had In not known.
This Is what happens when'an aged
Quaker , being moved and Instigated by the
devil , seeks to take a kiss to which ho had
no right. It Is a warning to all landlords.
H IH true that this kiss wns not as borious
In Us consequences as the one Francesco's
lover gave her , for that cost human llfo and
sent two souls to hudes. Hut In these , hard
times $2,000 nnd moro Is a good deal to
spend on account of one kiss.

Kate M. Cleary , In Clilcago Tribune ,
Dim nnd low the lights were burning ,
And her parents , who had been
Brought up In most strict obedience ,
Had rellred from the scene.
"Ethellnda Albertlna , " i
Spoke the youth , with feur opprest ,
"Wherefore art thou sad and silent ?
Dwells there sorrow In thy breast ? "
"Vivian Victor , " said the maiden ,
Drooping low her goden ! > hend ,
"Narrow Is the path nnd thorny
Conscience- points 'for us to tread.
" "TIs the holy Lenten Reason ,
And we must ourselves deny
Many sweet and precious p'enmircs
( Last year I refrained from pie ! )
Hut I think that we can better
Make surrender brave If we
Deprivation jointly suffer ,
Vivian Victor , don't you see ? "
Vivian Victor pulled his mustache.
Vowed that every word she said.
He would doubtless first have uttered ,
Had It entered In IIH ! head.
"First prepare yourself , " she mumurcd ,
"For a blow thnt I must wreak.
You must come to flee me only
During Lent live nights u week !
Opera cream * , nor e'en mnrshnmllows
Mny.you bring till Lent m gone ;
For wllh church drops , " hero slit ) faltered ,
"I shall strive to worry on.
Not nn orchid may you glvo me ,
Not a purpling Jacqueminot ,
Only now nnd then some lilies ,
I'uro nnd pallid us the snow ,
"Aw for concert ? , drives , nml operaa
Dearest , tempt mo not , I pruy !
Well , lest you too cruel deem me/
We'll except the mntlnee ! "
Soared her spirit In extiltniico
Of her own sublime restraint ;
She would wear her ISaster bonnet
Like the halo of n saint !
Tried she to coiiBolo her lover.
Who had rumpled up his tiulr ,
And between his sobs was moaning ,
"Darling , thin IB hard to bearl"
IJut when that same Vivian VIcl6r
Got outuldt ! the house did he
Wave his cap and turn a pin-wheel ,
Stunt ] upon his head In glco , ,
"Mushn ! " growled the law's ' nrlm guardian ,
"Crazy you , or dhrunk , I fear , "
"No , my Celtic friend , but only
Ulazlng glad thnt Lent Is here ! "
