MOBILES OF MYSTIC SHRINE
Semi-AnnuaI Ceremonies of Tangier
Temple Are Held Amid Con-
genial Surroundings.

The semi-annual ceremonials of Tangier
Temple of the Ancient and Arabic Order
of the Mystic Shrine were held in Masonic
hall last night and commanded the enthusi-
astic attention of a large gathering of mobiles
who came to participate with their Omaha
brethren in the festivities of the occasion.
The regular business meeting had been held
during the afternoon and the evening was
entirely devoted to the initiation of capdl-
dates and the subsequent banquet.
The guests at the banquet table included
representatives of nearly twenty-five tenn
pies scattered all over the west. There were
mobiles from Cleveland, o., Salt Lake City,
Cheyenne, Deadwood and various other
western cities, while there was an excep-
tionaIly liberal attendance from Nebraska
and Iowa. Sesostris temple of Lincoln sent
up a party Of twenty-five, while Noble Gel
ger of Cedar Rapids, Ia, came in with a
crowd Of thirty good fellows to add to the
fluctuations. Altogether the gathering was
one of the most successful that has been
enjoyed and 1t was well into the smaller
hours when the doors of the temple closed
on the last departing guest.
In view Of the large number Of candidates
that were conducted across the sands it was
late in the evening when the banquet was
served. Then the mobiles did ample justice
to one of the spreads for which Tangier
temple has won an eviable reputation and
it was well toward midnight when the
toasts were introduced. Noble James Gilbert
accomplished this office in a short address
in which he extended a cordial welcome to
the visitors and he was followed by Noble
John w. Geiger of Cedar Rapids, who de-
livered one of his characteristic speeches.
Toasts were also responded to by Mobiles
Albert NJ. Towle, b. F. Thomas, r. w.
Breckenridge, Ben S. Baker and w. w.
Keysor.

DUN'S REVIEW OF BUSINESS
In Spite Of Various Elements Trading in All
Branches is Good.
STRIKES cURTAl THE COTTON OUTPUT
Large orders for Structural Supplies
Tend to Make Up for Deficiency
in other Lines-Decrense
In Failures.

NEW YORK, April 2S.-R. G. Dun G.
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade will say:
All elements considered, it is rather sur
prising that business has not been set back
a little. The uncertainty about Samoa and
the prolonging Of the difficulty In the Phil
lppines, the rising imports and falling ex-
ports, the rise in foreign exchange by some
attributed to foreign sales of copper stocks
ana the hindrance Of manufacturing orders
owing to the recent advance in prices, might
have counted for something. But there has
been fun faith that foreign difficulties
would soon be cleared away and the move
ment in exchange is generally connected
with speculative rather than legitimate
operation, since accounts yof trade still in
dicate a large excess of exports. After
every rise in prices manufacturers have
to consider whether hindered consumption
with increased production will make them
difhcult, but confidence with which COM
binations are formed and extended still
shows prevailing belief that no danger
point is near.
The state of foreign trade ~justifes con-
fdence rather than apprehension. 1t is the
season of the lowest exports of staples, and
their prices this year are extremely low,
but the unprecedented foreign demand for
manufactured products so far compensates
that the excess of exports in March was
heavy and apparently has been in April.
The presence of English merchants in
Boston trying to sell English medium wool
which would be delivered there at about 32
cents at the same time that English buyers
were taking a little fine territory for ex-
port and German buyers 800, 900 pounds
more Australian from bond shows the OPP
posite trend of popular taste in different
countries. Clay worsteds here advanced ~
cents and serges 5 cents. which strength
ened the tone of the wool market. Wool
Is relatively cheap here and dear abroad,
but concessions make the lowest prices of
the year In all kinds, as heavy stocks car
ried for years come into the presence of
new wool, said to be 900, 0OO, 900 pounds,
Manufacturers are not now buying largely,
though in four weeks 30. 91S. 1856 pounds were
sold, of which 23, 315,OS5 pounds we're do
| nestle. against Al liz $50 nounds in the
same week two years ago. when wool was
rising.
The cotton manufacturer has made little

BOSTON, April 2S.-The Commercial Bull
letin tomorrow will say of the wool market
The market is active and the prices are ac-
cordingly steady. The liberal supply Of
wool on hand has prevented prices from
rising any further. The movement is, how
ever. very large and an encouraging feature
Is the free purchasing of territory wool by
Boston spectators. Operations by Boston
dealers have already begun in Utah and
Wyoming at prices considerably above the
equivalent Boston market. The inquiry for
American wool for England still continues
and several large deals are nearly closed.
The grade is strictly fine medium territory.
The experimental purchasing. however, has
not yet attained sufficient rnagnitude to help
the market here materially.
The sales OF the week are 3,64S, 500 pounds
domestic and 2,241, 500 pounds foreign, a
total of $3.50, 900 pounds, against 5,342, 900
last week and 1,0570 o for the same week
last year. The sales to date show an in
crease Of 22,O31, 500 pounds domestic and
Omaha daily bee., 1899-04-29

is talk Of concessions on outside makes.
New demands had been notably quiet In
iron and steel this week, the most notable
feature being large sales OF southern Grey
Forge iron at Pittsburg. Prices exhibited
all their former strength and here the
margin OF profit on finished products is I'M
doubtedly very good.
The strength Of the lumber markets shows
little Improvement.
Wool. as a whole. is quiet and steady,
but a relatively higher range OF values
| abroad is indicated by continued good sales
OF Australian bonded wool to be re-exported.
Copper is notable among the products adj
! vancing this week, aided therein by large
consumptive demand, but. chiefly by talk
OF the great consolidation of copper produce
ing companies announced toward the close
of the week.
A fair trade is doing in boots and shoes
and the slight advances announced earlier
are well maintained. Leather is firmly
held, strength being impaired to this and
finished products by the small stocks OF
hides available.
Partially compensating for the falling off
In exports Of natural products, particularly
cereals, is the immense expansion IN eX-
ports of manufactured goods. OF
such goods in March aggregated over $780,
000, 900, or 80 per cent of all our exports, a
proportion rarely If ever approached before,
and, in view OF probably smaller takings
of our natural products, foreshadowing even
more marked expansion in the future, pro-
| viding that prices do not advance to a point
prohibitive of free shipments. Wheat, IN
Guiding flour, shipments for the week ag-
| gregated 3.02S, 2S3 bushels, against 1882, 959
bushels last week. 4,449,009 bushels in the
corresponding week OF 1898, !, 155,S66 bushels
in 1897, 1904 bushels in 1896 and 2,555,-
ego bushels in 1895. Since July 1, this season,
the exports of wheat aggregate 1916. ,5Sl
bushels, against 195, 1852, 695 bushels last
year.
Corn exports for the week aggregated
2,615,O 79 bushels, against 1901, $40 bushels
last week, 4,216, 066 bushels In this week a
year ago, 1857, 465 bushels in 1897. 2~,142,595
bushels in 1896 and 1,016, 155 bushels in 1895.
Since July 1, this season, corn exports ag-
gregate 140, 662, 1923 bushels, against 151,-
S39, 800 bushels during the same period a
year ago.
Business failures for the week number
1874, as compared with 1877 last week, 245
in this week a year ago, 244 In 1895 ana
2O6 in 1895. Canadian failures number
twenty-seven, against thirty last week,
twenty-five in this week a year ago, thirty
one in 1897, twenty-six in 1895 and thirty
six in 1895.

BRADsTREET's FINANCIAL REVIEW
Speculation Narrow and Irregular
with Smaller Transactions.

NEW YORK, April 2S.-Bradstreet's
Financial Review tomorrow will say:
Speculation this week developed narrow
and irregular tendencies. The easing of the
money market, larger supplies of funds and
a noticeable relaxation OF the disposition to
reject industrial stocks as collateral had a
favorable influence, which was partially
overcome by the continued uncertainty about
the crops and the evident falling off in the
public interest. The latter fact was reflected
by the much smaller volume of daily trans
actions and the comparatively irresponsible
state of the market. The most significant
feature of the week was the decided activity
and strength of the bond list. The recent
change in the savings bank Investment laws
of New York and Massachusetts, which
opens to the savings institutions of these
states the bonds of dividend-paying rail-
roads, is to a large extent responsible for
the movement in question, though this
would only account indirectly for the, in
some cases, heavy appreciation in many is
sues of bonds which have on the whole a
semi-speculative position in the market.
The abundance Of funds for investment and
the temporary diversion OF public buying
power from stocks to the bond list would
seem also to be a factor in the matter, the
effect, as usual in such cases, being to sus-
tain the general range OF stock quotations.
The market. however, was of an irregular
kind. The grangers were neglected and the
same applies to the Pacific stocks, while, on
the other hand, the coal shares showed a
tendency to appreciate on the better earn
ings, which are said to be rewarding the
companies and the prospective issue OF
rights" by the Jersey Central.
What are termed the Flower stocks, in
GLIDING Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Peoples
Gas, New York Air Brake and Federal Steel,
were the objects of renewed bullish manipu-
lation, and Sugar refining, though inactive,
displayed a great deal Of strength. Ana
conda mining shares were a feature, ad-
vancing from So to SSH on the large buy
ing, both here and in London, supposed to
come from interests which are arranging the
new copper mine combination. Otherwise
London was not a factor in our market,
| though foreign interests were buyers of
Louisville & Nashville, Southern Railway
preferred and Norfolk G. Western, selling
at the same time high-grade bonds at the
| advances in that part OF the market. The
! sharp advance in the price of silver caused
not a little notice to be paid to the securities
of the Mexican roads and Mexican Central
stock aud bonds were conspicuously strong
under a good buying demand.

BRADsTREET's REVIEW OF TRADE
w Season Dizziness Pervades
Most All of the Markets.

"obN All oi ~
NEW YORK, April 2S.-Bradstreet's Re-
view of tomorrow will say:
Favorable weather conditions find refiec-
tion In reports Of good retail distribution
of spring and summer goods and in fair
flling-in orders from jobbers. Demand
from first hands for general merchandise
is, II anything. quieter, in keeping with the
between season" period now at hand. In
dustrial activity continues especially
marked, a pleasing feature this week being
the practical absence OF the unrest, par
t~iculaTly in the building trades, noted for
many years past about May l. While favor
ing retail distribution, the spring-like
weather conditions, however, have been the
reverse OF stimulating as regards quota
lions of two OF the country's greatest
staples-wheat and cotton. In these and in
hog products the tendency of values has
been toward a lower range.
Winter wheat crop adyices have continued
irregularly unfayorable, but good weather,
enabling a large area to be planted in
spring wheat, coupled with rather less ac-
| tive export demands and denials Of damage
TO European crops, has weakened quotations
of wheat and -four at leading eastern and
interior markets.
Cotton has weakened on better reports
as to planting progress and the margin OF
profit on manufactured goods has. therefore,
temporarily widened. Rather more is doing
on export account and bleached goods are
especially firm. The regular print cloth
