land shook the hands OF his enthusiastic ad-
mirers.

NEW YORK, November 17.-R. g. Dun i
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Those who have long expected severe reac-
ton in the stock market have now seen the
average of prices thrown back to a lower
point than has been touched at any other
time for more than four years. 1t remains
the fact that the legitimate business through
the country is the largest ever known, not
much inflated or endangered by speculation,
and so far sound that complaints in regard
to collections have been much fewer than
usual. The check now sustained may not
impro6abiy produce some shrinkage in trans
actions and dImiLution Of prices, but the in
dustria! and commercial conditions have
been so favorable that speculative disturb
ances are the less likely to effect general
business seriously. Reports from other cities
show that at most points the events in Wall
street have had little or no effect as yet.
At Cincinnati money is light, but collec-
ions very fair.
At Omaha. st. Paul, Denver and Kansas
City money is in strong demand, collections
healthy AID business good.
Southern cities make much the same re-
port. The demand for manufactured pro-
ducts is now distinctly smaller, and in rail-
road supplies decrease is foreShaGowed by
financial troubles. the coal trade is dull.

weak because of considerable importations.
India rubber is lower. The boot and shoe
trade is somewhat checked by the prospect
OF reaction in leather, but prices range
higher than last year. In dry goods, there
Is observed some hesitancy by buyers. hut
mills are well sold up. Woolens, slightly
better prices in some cases, and dress goods
are firm. Breadstutfs are slower, exports II
October shown. heavy decrease. Wheat
falls cents for the week; corn 215 and oats
nearly . cents. Pork products are steady.
coffee and cotton unchanged, and oil is 81
cents lower. In general speculation in pro-
ducts is less active than usual. The treasury
has put out 100000 more silver notes, but
taken in 81, 10000 more of other money, its
offer to buy bonds being ineffective.
The business failures occurring through
out the country during the past seven days
number 266, as compared with 2l5 last
week. For the corresponding week of last
year the figures were 265.

Change for the Better.

New YoRx, November 15.-The general
feeling in the street has undergone marked
change for the better, and the opinion of
the habitues Of the street is that the objects
of the influential combination of capitalists
which has forced the recent decline has been
accomplished, and that with the affecting of
the reforms in the railroad business now
proposed. there will come general improve
ment in values. The late reaction from low
prices of two days ago is rngarded as princi-
paliy the effect Of the covering of shorts, to-
sether with some buying by some who had
thrown their holdings over on the scare.
There were no further failures or bank sus-
pensions, but the bears demonstrated the
fact that they had not gone into their holes,
and are still vet$ much alive. The natural
tendency of prce2 - advance, after the late
severe drop, we'd onocked. and while the

STOCK AND FARM,

Wallace Gazette: Three years ago
c. G. Hurd. of 2-16-39, bought a SOW
| for "a. Since that time he has solo
S6S worth of hogs, used 500 pounds ol
pork, and now has a sow that viii
weigh 225 pounds and five shoats
weighing so pounds each. Saturday
he sold the original SOW for $50.
Paola Republican: A train of hogs
was transferred from the Gulf to the
NJ. X. & T., bound for Old Mexico.
The canard published about Ola Mexico
charging tariff of IS per head on hogs
and S35 per head on cattle was orly
one OF the hundred lies that were sent
out or the eve of election.
Mulyane Record: Solomon Fields
bought 137 head OF cattle in Kansas
City, few days ago, and shipped them
here TO feed this winter. This increases
his herd to o7er 800 head He went
south to buy cotton seed to feed them.
He feeds nothing but straw and cot
ton seed and his cattle are improving
rapidly.
Canton Republican: II. NJ. Schurtz,
of Sonora, \. NJ. was in town this
week. He is trying to find enough
farmers in Reno and Mcpherson coun-
ties to take his herd of 5000 steers to
feed through the winter. Mr.. Shurtz
found places for 1000 head in the north
part OF the county, and Is completing
arrangements for 4 like number with
some of the heavy farmers in the vicin-
ity OF MoundrIdge.
Emporia Gazette: Mr. Hawkins,
who farms six miles east of Emporla,
planted part of an upland acre of pea
nuts this year. and the yield was at the
rate of 100 bushels per acre. This sea-
son was a little too short to mature
them perfectly; otherwise the quality
and size are very good. If the summer
had been wet and the fall dry. Mr..
Hawkins thinks he would have realized
500 per acre for the crop. We presume
that in most seasons this could readily
be done.
Lakin Index: Ed Russell. jr., reports
600 and some odd bushels of seed from
100 acres of alfalfa on the Great Eastern
farm. Considering that the worms and
grasshoppers did slight damage in the
early spring, this is very profitable
farming when we remember that alfalfa
seed is now bringing $3.50 to 81 per
bushel, and two other crops were cut
for hay.

NEW YoRK, November 1.-THE Times pub
fishes what it states is an inter view with Jay
Gould, in which Mr.. Gould says that he and
his friends have secured controlling interest
in the Union Pacific railway: and that Pres
ident Adams will have to vacate. The inter-
view includes statements affecting the Santa
Fe railway.
PRESIDENT ADAMS DENIES II.
BosToN.-President Adams, of the Union
Pacific railroad, said, in an interview with
an Associated Press reporter: 81 am abso-
lutely ignorant of the alleged facts in Mr..
Gould's interview, and l greatly question
whether Mr. Gould ever made the remarks
attributed to him. The Union Pacific is not
negotiating with any railroad: is at peace
with all the world; is maintaining good rates
on its traffic and will probably continue to
be operated with conservatism in Its traffic
affairs"
BosToS.-A special from New York says
Mr.. Gould was asked whether he was secur-
ing control of the Union Pacific. He replied
that he was not giving away his own busi-
ness. He further SAID, 81 am not buying
anything | can't pay for"

departed for his home at Milan, Kansas
There were three additions to the church
by letter, and Elder Moffitt's forcible
and impressive presentation of the
Word as it is written in the Bible, in
stead of the way it is construed or mis-
construed by different denominations,

agreeably surprised man in town was
Rev. Payne, of the Christian church.

A High Old Time.

GUTHRIE, o. T., November 15.-The capi-
tai bill locating the seat of government at
kingfsher was signed by Speaker Daniels,
of the house, and the clerk rushed frantically
with the measure to the senate. A most
ridiculous scene was INDUCED in in that body
by tho democrats. republicans and people s
men alike. They acted like wild men. The
president of the council was voted out of his
chair and his Office declared vacant. This
quested that he be allowed until the morning
hour to consider the measure before attach
ing his signature. Demands were made:
''Sign it, or step down and out" Garden

his hand. After a long time the president
was reinstated and then he signed the bill.
The impression is that Steele will veto it.
Then another high time is anticipated.

ance of the company and evaporation of

A Bad Mix,

LINCOLN, NEs., November IA sensa-
ton is going the rounds of political circles
here to the effect that number of towns in
Nebraska have failed to comply with the pro-
visions Of the registration act of 1889, which
requires that every city of the second class
or above, having $500 or more. shall be re-
CURED to register all voters before the cleo
ton is held. On the face OF the returns the
democrats have the governor, the republi-
cans the other state officers. and the indie
pendents the legislature. before whom the
contests will be tried. If the towns which
failed to comply with the terms OF the act
are thrown out, no one can tell who is elected.

Much QestftutIon.

LINCOLN, NEB., November 15.-The yield
of corn is much less than anticipated, the
average in this part of the state being less
than ten bushels to the acre and further west
even less.
Farmers have nothing to feed with and
vast quantities of hogs half fattened are be-
ing rushed to market and sacrificed at very
low prices. Corn is selling on the streets for
from 50 to 53 cents per bushel.
1t is impossible to disguise the fact that in
western counties there is much destitution.
Many homesteads are heavily encountered
and a few have been abandoned.
Women and children are suffering for food,
clothing and fuel. The churches and benev-
olent inclined people are quietly organizing
for their relief.
