The outlook for the cattle market is
all that could be desired, says the Den
yer Stockman, the only present oppose
ton to an active trade being the scar
city of money. The war scare excuse IS
about PLAYED out as it is evident to a
blind man now that there is nothing to
fear from Spain, and that 1t is only a
question of a few weeks ut most when
Spain must yield. if indeed she does not
commit political suicide in the mean
while. There being no longer any ex-
cuse for the banks keeping the money
supply of the country locked up in
vaults, it is hoped that within few
days at least there will be decided
change in the situation. Everyone is
waiting. and while there are reports Of
easier money at the eastern centers, it
has not manifested itself to any decided
degree as yet in the west. Everyone in
the cattle business seems to be playing
q waiting game, and about the only bus
iness being done in the movement OF
stock cattle is to farmers who have their
own money and on contracts where the
money was guaranteed. The leading
commission firms have taken care OF
their customers, but have made few
new ones during the dull period which,
it Is hoped, is just ending. Some of the
commission firms, and that is major
ity, have been compelled by the banks
to stop everything. with the result that
many who had forfeits up on cattle
deals have been compelled to lose their
money, and there have been some cheap
cattle on the market in consequence.
The condition of affairs is bad, but will
end Just as soon as the money power de-
cides that it wants a change, and not
sooner.

The Burlington. New Trains.

Railroad men who have had the priv
lege OF examining the four new trains
which the Burlington Route. on the Is.
Of Nav. placed in service between Den
yer and Chicago say they are as mag
nificently equipped as any in the country
that even the famous limited expresses
between Chicago and New York are
not handsomer or more luxurious
Every car is wide vestibnled. and built
especially for the Burlington Route.
The four trains are indentical in ap-
pearance and arrangement, Each Is
composed OF a buffet-smokinc-lihrar
car with bath and barber-shop), a
palace sleeping-car, dining-car. and
two reclining-chair cars The buffet
smoking-lihrary car is something new
for a Denver Chicago line. 1t is a verit-
able clubhouse on wheels, where one
may read. write. smoke. talk. or play
cards. while travelling at the rate OF fifty
miles an hour. 1t is handsomely
carpetad and furnished with settees,
cushioned easy chairs. a lavatory. writ
ingdesk. compartment for card
PLAYERS. and a weil-stocked buffet The
current periodicals and newspapers are
on file. and carefully selected library
is provided for the free use OF passen-
gers. The sleeping-car is a gem. and
the chair and dining-cars are in every
way worthy of the train OF which they
form an important part.
The Burlington Route takes these
palatial trains through to Omaha and
Chicago in marvelously quick time.
Leaving Denver at $50 a. m. TODAY on
one Of them vou are landed in Chicago
| at 2,l5 tomorrow afternoon. there maxi,
ing close connections with trains for all
points east. The running time from,
Denver to Chicago is only twentv-sevsn
and three-quarter hours just how fast
that is will be best understood when it
is stated that it is almost five hours
faster Than the fastest schedule in effect
prior to February 9Th. 1898.
