ments expressed at the uptown resorts last
night. The bulls were even more confident
They argue that the desperate efforts TO com.
plcate financial matters for several days
past have failed TO dislodge stocks as the
bears expected. IL is further calculated that
the short interest," has been increased, which
will serve as bull force when the turn
comes. Chicago parties have been taking
profits on q few stocks, but generally they
have bought Graugers on slight depressons
The banks and trust companies are not at all
alarmed over the money conditions. They
claim to have funds for reliable houses at
fair rates. The market followed the lead OF
London in opening at 1S@& per cent over
close yesterday. Atchison, St Paul, LOUIS
vile & Nashville and Reading took the lead
In the general list and Sugar Trusts in uu-
listed stocks. Slight advances were scored
in early dealings which in most of the list
amounted to from q to u per cent, while
Atchson rose per cent to 81 and Sugar e.
The engagement Of another $500, 600 of gold
for export checked the buying and prices
settled away until everything was under the
opening figures. Manhattan became con.
spicuous with drop of per cent to 103.
There was a somewhat better feeling toward
the end of the hour and at IL o'clock the
market was dull. During the hour to II
O'Clock there was little general improve
ment. Manhattan recovered to l04. Pull
man went up to 100. Atchison was unsettled
and after selling off to 49, recovered to 33l1
Early renewals for money were at and 0
per cent There was enough Improvement
In money matters before the close to allow
money to be offered at 3 per cent There are
indications that the spasms in money rates
are about over. Changers have been well
hold. The coal business is good and stocks
buoyant. Trusts have had their trials and a
better feeling Is expected to follow. There
was some covering before the end to day and
the general buying helped prices to about
the best figures Of the day. Even Atchison
showed net gain of per cent at 33]6.
Grangers, except Northwestern, were up Il
per cent from last night Lackawanna sold
at LAG ex-dividend at the close. Louisville
gained q per cent to 70. Sugar Trusts
climbed again to 93s{ or "a per cent better
for the day, The total sales for the day
were 137, 1913 shares.

Tecumseh No Longer n Kisser

The rumor has gone forth that Gem
eral Sherman has lost his ambition for
kissing pretty girls, says n Milwaukee
dispatch OF the Chicago Tribune. n
murmur of wonderment swept across
the grand stand when he missed the OPP
portunity OF his life to-day. AS pretty
a girl as anyone could desire to kiss,
came across the street through the
ines at some peril TO herself, bearing a
liver docanter OF ice-water. She was
clad in becoming costume Of red,
white, and blue, and the national colors
were reflected in her cheeks and eyes.
n soldier gallantly helped her up the
stairs, and thousands watched old Te-
cumseh, as he drank the refreshing
and welcome draught.and then thanked
the maiden for her courtesy. The
crowd waited breathlesslv to see her
receive the guerdon OF merit, the
fatherly kiss which old Tecumseh is
won't to bestow with fatherly readiness,
but he did nothing OF the kind. Per-
haps he didn't think Of it, but the
crowd did, and was intensely disap-
pointed. Perhaps the young lady was,

Cattle

Wednesday, Oct. Q.
In looking over to-day's trading in cattle
1t would be difficult to discover any essen
TALLY new features. There was a pretty
good run of cattle here, mostly westerns and
Texans. The market was bare of prime
corn-fed beeves, but there were some pretty
fair natives on sale. Native beeves sold at
So $500 LOO. and Texans at 81. 250l245. The
market, though slow to open, was fairly ac-
tive and quite good many beeves changed
hands before the close. Butchers stock
sold in some cases easier, while desirable
cows, such as tho buyers wanted, brought
fully steady prices. Native cows sold at
Sl00@3.40, but principally at Sl.S5@2. co.
Stockers and feeders moved freely, and the
sales were quite large. Some good, but not
heavy natives sold at $500 A bunch of good
westerns brought S2.75.

Bjcyclcs For tho Blind.

DIR. Campbell, the eminent blind man, =,
whose visit to this city during the week
aroused renewed interest in the pro-
posed institute for the blind, says the
Plttsburg Bulletin, referred, among
other appliances of complete school,
to n bicycle track. When tho blind can
be taught to ride bicycle with pleas
ure to the rider and no danger to any
one else, the art of treating the sight
less may be said to have attained n
point not dreamed of. A blind man
capable of riding successfully and unrc-
strained the silent steed ought to be
able to earn his living as pilot on the
Ohio river.
Omaha daily bee., 1889-10-03
Hogs.

A few loads of the best heavy hogs sold
early at about steady prices, but the market
weakened so soon that it could almost be
said to have opened 5c lower. 1t weakened
became very indifferent, showing little con-
cern whether they bought the last arrivals
or not. 1t would be safe to call the market
closing l0c lower, but the best hogs were
about all sold before the close. The decline
was mostly on the heavy packers, desirable
heavy hogs suitable for the shipping trade
not showing so much off. The sales were
largely at S3.S5Ge3 80, as against S3.9O@3.05
yesterday. The light hogs sold about 5c
lower, that is largely Mt Si.0j, as against
S4071G The light hog shippers reported
their hogs as costing 4c less than yesterday,
but with the quality, if anything, little
better.
