BRADSTREET'S FINANCIAL REVIEW.

Although speculation continues to be

tary Cages recent offer to purchase go

ever, that on Wednesday, when the call
cent the stock market experienced an i'm,
mediate chill, and prices generally fell
without much selling pressure. There has
been considerable manipulation in various
parts of the share list. Most of it was
on the bull side. and the operations of
the bear faction were confined to few
mitted, however, that on, the advances
there was a disposition shown I'm many
quarters to realize, and. except In few
instances, the improvements were not of
a very positive nature.
London took part in the weeks pro-

South African war has. however, ten

Importance abroad, and caused a harden

The foreign situation, however. had little
influence on the sentiment OF our own
market. Speculation was mainly concerned
with money, and, having now reasonable
assurances that no stringency will oc-
cur, is inclined to pay. attention to the
possibility of financial legislation at the
next session of congress.
The idea that the presidents message
will give prominence to the currency mat
ter is circulated and meets with favor In
financial circles. Favorable railroad earn
ings and reports of deals and combina-
tions have however been responsible for
most of the movements In railroad shares
this week The particular features in this
connection were the lower priced division

stocks, with Chesapeake q Ohio and big

ton. Some activity was shown in sugar,

part of the leaders toward the new in

as a rule irregular and inactive.

Range Cattle Continue to Come.

In spite OF the fact that dealers have an
nounced that the western run of cattle is
over, ffty-four of stock from the
ranges arrived at this market yesterday
These shipments were from western Ne

Ranchmen appear to be cleaning up their
herds and sending every animal to market
that is not in first-class condition. This is
being done to avoid winter losses Farmers
in the corn belt are buying this stock to feed
during the winter and the same cattle sent in
from the ranges now will be back here in
sixty or ninety days fattened for the block.
1t is predicted that as soon as storms strike
the range country shipments of cattle will
cease, but as long pleasant weather con-
tinues grass cattle will be shipped here for
transfer to feed lots.

; SOUTH OMAHA NEWS. !

A well attended meeting of the CONNER
cial club was held at the council chamber
Friday night. Secretary Watkins reported
that j. w. Hastings, George l.. Dare and w.
S. King had been appointed members of the
board of directors to take the places of G.
C. Clifton, Ed Johnston and w. S. Whitten.
Attorney C. C. Wells was called upon for
short address. He gave practical talk
on the future of South Omaha, saying that
a foundation has been laid here for city
of $4,000 people and that there is a future
here that is found in very few places. Mr..
Wells spoke of some of the needs of the city.
Enthusiasm, sufficient to impart it to others,
Is needed, while organization and loyalty
are essential If the city Is to be pushed to the
front.
w Burlington Cheek followed Mr.. Wells
with a few remarks on the growth of the
city and gave the business men some very
good advice. He proposed that prospectus
be prepared which may be sent out all over
the country in order to show the volume OF
business transacted here.
Editor Bruce McCuloch spoke of the need
of a prospectus. He said that very few peo-
pie are aware ot the amount of business
transacted here in the course of year. Last
year over 100000 head of live stock. with
a value of $57 900, 900, were received at the
yards. Continuing on this line the speaker
asserted that over 5000 laboring men are
employed by the packing houses and stock
yards and paid out daily the sum of s12, 900
for wages. These facts, he said ought to be
known in order to attract the attention of
capitalists.
Mention was made some days ago of the
efforts of the club to secure an iron foundry
for the city. In this connection Colonel
Patrick Brennan of Creston, Ia. was intro
duced. Colonel Brennan is the owner of
foundry and machine shop at Creston and Is
willing to remove to this city providing
suitable arrangements can be made. The
executive committee Of the club was in
structed, by resolution, to render all as
sstance possible to Colonel Brennan in con-
ncction with the proposed removal of the
foundry and machine shop. The meeting
throughout was interesting and considerable
enthusiasm was displayed.

OF erecting a depot. More than this, Herman

depot movement in any way he can. and as
he virtually owns all OF the land in the bot
toms the land for depot site will not be
hard TO get. Every member of the improve
ment club is urged to be present at this
