Omaha, Neb., March Sat 10 O'Clock to-
morrow morning, az the court house in
this city, the Union Pacific Railway Com
pany will begin one of the heaviest auc-
ton safes of public lands ever held In the
country. The lands aggregate 61d ,759
acres and are covered by the sinking fund
mortgage. given by the company Dec. IS,
1873, to the Union Trust Company of New
York as trustees.
The disposition of the property and the
confirmation of the sales will practically
clean up all the financial difficulties of the
road incurred previous to the taking con-
troll by the present management.
The number of acres and their location
is approximately as follows: Nebraska.
11O7 ,759; Colorado, S42 ,5S4; Wyoming, 4O62,-

BANKER CLEws' VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
wall street.


wall street.
New York, March 4.-In its general as
poets, the stock market exhibits about
the same features as last week-funda-
mentally strong and reasonably active,
with the speculative excitements largely
confined 10 the industrial list And yet a
keen observer may detect the gradual ap-
proach of influences that may before long
subject the present scale Of values to
sharp trial. The external conditions sf-
fecting prices, such as railroad earnings
and business prosperity. remain quite IS
favorable as they have been. But the
thing to be noted is that the opinion is
becoming more general that these eondi-
lions do not legitimately warrant any
further uniform advance in prices; on the
contrary, the feeling is not exceptional that
current values are not to be guaranteed
and that they are held upsmore through
the extraordinary sanguine temper of out
side operators and the absence of any dis
turbing elements than from a common con-
vlction that current prices really accord
with the intrinsic merits of stocks.
Still it seems reasonably safe to expect
that, in the present case, such a reac-
ton would not run to any serious lengths.
The large profits made on the recent rise
have no doubt made the speculative inter
est exceptionally strong. There is no
probability that a serious relapse would
be encouraged by conditions in the money
market, for money is likely to become very
easy after the middle of April and re-
main so during the summer months. Also,
It is to be considered that the improve
ment in the financial condition of the rail-
roads and the great general prosperity of
the country have invested securities with
a much higher instrinsic value than they
have possessed during recent years; and
therefore after a fair shrinkage in prices
stocks would be considered cheap nd
bring in new buying orders. There is vet
another consideration which may deserve
attention in this connection. The recent
immense creation of trust organizations
is having a contracting effect upon the de-
mand for bank discounts. AS rule,
these new organizations have been con-
structed upon a basis which gives them
a large surplus for working capital.
