Isradstree,'s Report.

New York. Feb. 11-Brad streets to-
morrow will say: A number of favorable
circumstances and events present them
/ selves this week. Perhaps the most nota-
BILE of these are the renewed activity and
confidence in the iron and steel market,
accompanied by prompt, and even rapid,
advances in several grades of pig iron
and steel and the advance in the price of
raw cotton. long predicted but unreaiized
until the present week. What might be
regarded as Il minor feature in the bust
ness situation, though at the same time
containing much that is hopeful to the
interest involved, is a general improve
ment in distributive trade and demand i'll
the Central West and the South, where
spring trade is reported opening in good
shape. Less favorable features of the
week are the slowness of the spring trade
in dry goods in New York and other East
ern centers. except Boston, and the mild
weather in the Northwest. rendering it
likely that retailers stocks carried over
will be larger than earlier expected. AL
though the advance in cotton has been
claimed 10 be too rapid it has undoubted
ly impaired more cheerful tone to the
Southern business situation, and with the
advance in iron and steel has done much
to add to the confidence with which the
trade outlook for 1898 is regarded.

Finapcier's Review.

New York Feb. 1.-THE Financier says:
The statement of the associated banks OF
New York city for the five days ended
Feb. IL Saturday being a holiday. is
favorable exhibit, both from banking
and commercial standpoint. Loans show
an expansion of s5,97o,600, the increases
originating apparently with two of the
larger banks; the National City and the
National Park, whose combined totals
account for the change over the preceding
week The most interesting feature of
the statement, however, is the loss of
cash reported.
The decrease for the week was 81, 100, 500,
which is the first shrinkage since the
enormous inward flow which marked the
end of December and the first week OF
January AT the beginning of this year
the reserve of the banks was Sl5.SOO.00O 1t
Is now said to be s32, 437.050, an increase of
more than SIG 637, 900. In the same period
loans have expanded more than So, oo0. 900
and deposits s67. 700. 600 This. while the
loan increase has been far above the nor
NAL it was impossible to make use of
all the money going into the banks.
This review assumes that the increases
were due to legitimate business opera
tons. but the many special transactions
growing out of the transactions between
the banks and the treasury are factor
that make a correct deduction impossible.
AT any rate. now that the banks seem
To have reached the limit of cash aeces-
sions the money market will probably
recover somewhat from the demoraliZa-
ton which has marked its course thus
far during 1898.
If the past is of value in comparison II
may be recalled that for the same week
and the previous one in 1897 the banks
reduced their reserve $s50o.0o0 and lost
in cash Sc. 100000 This year the loss in
reserve for the same period has been only
a little i'm excess of s., 100, 600 In 1897 the
first week in March seems TO mark the
high period of the bank reserves. After
that and until well into the summer n
stationary plane was reached. If the
same thing is repeated this year the mon
ely market will probably maintain level
somewhere near the present figures. but
il is true that bankers are expecting a
firm market within the next 60 days.

demands for products than are now met
by the unprecedented output
Wheat has been strong, with spot ad-
vancing cents and May pa cents,
though Western receipts have been for
two weeks 5.5331 76 bushels against 3,3lI,-
975 bushels last year. But Atlantic ex-
ports have been 5,27443S bushels, flour in
cluded, against 4,026.596 bushels in two
weeks last year, with Pacific exports
large. at'n tsft Htt
Corn exports are also surprisingly well
sustained, 7.164,7e2 bushels against 1923. 500
last year, and the price has advanced a
trifie. 1t is yet too early for prospects OF
coming crop to influence markets ma
terially and heavy operations at Chica-
go. with reported sales of 600 bushels

speculative selling.
Business shown by bank clearngs is
again larger than before. 54.7 per cent.

CONDITION OF TRADE.
Ipun's Review.

New York, Feb 11.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade will say in its
issue of tomorrow: BUSINESS is pushing
toward spring activity rather early.
Events which have controlled are good
buying of iron by the largest makers,
the rise in cotton, with the strength in
goods the great railway consultations
and the Cuban insurrection. The latter,
with its possibilities. operates as a brake
on speculation, and foolishness of local
traders gave foreigners an opportunity
to buy stocks on balance about 5000
shares.
January earnings. SSS OH All, already re-
ported are 1876 per cent. better than last
year and 9.5 per cent. better than in 1897,
showing the best month in six years at
least and February returns thus far are
promising.
The output of pig iron in February was
300 1913 tons weekly, the largest in the his
tory of the business, but the reported
buying Of 1901 900 tons of Bessemer iron by
the Carnegie company and 100000 tons by
another of the largest steel concerns.
nevertheless means decision by the ablest
manufacturers that the unprecedented
output of pig iron will soon prove too
small for the growing demand for fin
ishcd products. The Illinois Steel COM
paEy has contracted for million tons
of Bessemer ore, and producers of other
ranges count upon an advance In prices.
Bessemer pig rose TO Sl0.15 and grey forge
to g. at Pittsburg. with finished products
generally stronger.
Retail contracts already cover il is

the railroads buying more than usual.
Bar contracts for cars, wagons, etc, from
the farmers are heavy al the West.
Structural contracts there are numerous
and at the East, with $1,000 tons estimated
for New York buildings alone this year.
while plate and sheet contracts for the
season are unprecedented January was

A LAND DECISION.
The Court Holds That the Title Never
Passed From the Indians.


Portland. Ore. Feb. lin the United
States district court to-day Judge Bel
linger handed down Il decision in the
company VS.. the government agents, seek
ing to allot the lands on the Klamath
Indian reservation.
In this action the plaintiff corporation
sought to restrain the agents from allot-
ting the lands on the ground that 1t had
title to them by virtue of purchase from
the oregon Central Military Road COM
pany The lands in dispute. comprising
about 10000 acres. were portion of the
grant of congress To the state of Oregon
for the construction of military road
from Eugene City To the eastern boun-
Diary of the state. In 1864 the state decided
the land to the Oregon Central Military
Road company. which constructed the
road and the plaintiff IN this action
claims to have acquired title by purchase
from the latter
The case was presented to the court
on an application for a temporary in
junction restraining the defendants from
proceeding with the allotment until the
merits of the controversy are determined
The court denied the application and this
virtually disposes of the matter, as the
allotting agents can now proceed with
their work without further interruption.
If the plaintiff has further recourse II is
against the government for the value of
the land that ii claims title to.
In the treaty with the Indians the court
finds that reservation was made for
the tract now known as the Klamath
reservation. and that title to this has
never passed from the Indians.

The County reac,,er's Association.


Our efficient county superintendent,
Mrs. Bertha Y. Thornby, has been i'm
pressed with the idea of county
teachers association ever since her
visit to the state teachers association
at Sioux Falls during the holidays and
and has been working strenuously in
that direction ever since. A meeting
of the teachers in the county was
called for Saturday afternoon, Jan. %,
and at that time about twenty-five
of the city and county teachers met in
the high school room of our public
schools and were treated to very en-
cellent program. Mrs. Thornby stated
in Il few we'll chosen words the objects
of the association and the b,nefits to
be derived from effective organization.
The distinct topic for the afternoon
was announced as Methods of Teaching
Primary Reading. Miss Matte Allen,
teacher of the first primary grades of
the city schools, gave practical ex-
hibition of her methods by means of
class of little folks.which called forth
many words of praise and gave some
of the district teachers some new ideas
i'll teaching phonics and diacritical
marking to the little tots" and at the
same time keeping them interested in
their work. An excellent paper on
Primary Reading" was presented by
Miss Kathrine Hoffman, teacher of the
third room in our city schools. Dis
cussion of the subject was then in
order, in which u goodly number in
dulged i'll an informal manner.
A splendid address was then given
the teachers by President Lymer,
which was full of rich suggestions in
the matter of Individuality in Teach
ing.
Remarks were made by DIR. Hargens
and Mrs. DALEY of the Board of Edu-
cation of Hot Springs, after which E..
j. Moore supt. of city schools was
asked to take the chair and the follow
ing temporary organization was affect
ed: p. j. Drake, President; Miss
Mamie Held, Secretary.
a committee was appointed to draft
constitution and bylaws; also COM
mittee on program for the next meet
ing, which will be held at Olrichs about
March 18th.
Much enthusiasm was manifested by
those in attendance, and Mrs. Thornby
has reason to feel proud that her en-
thusiasm in educational work is being
infused into teachers throughout the
county.
