A few marriages and a fewer private socials, together with departures for summer resorts, complete the list of the movements of Omaha so- ciety during the week just passed. A Pleasant Reception. On I1ast Wednesday evening one of the most agreeable entertainments of the season was given at the residence of J. ¥. Daley, the well-known contractor on Prospect Hill, ip honor of Misses May, Rose, Annie and Ells McAdam, of Chi- cago. THbse young ladies, with their mother and brother, Vincent, are spend- ing & vpleasant vacation here, and this little surprise on the part of the uncle and aunt of the young ladies, was ex- cellently contrived and most hlpfilly car- ried out. During the afternoon the gath- ering was swelled by a host of youthful and nmew acquaintances, who beguiled the passing hours in _childish entertain- ment an lee. Swinging hammocks, fruit, confections and entertainin games occupied the time ani in most of them mearly all the Rguests of the young visitors took part and patronized. The heartiness with which they entered into the spirit of the occasion, was a source of pleasure to many of the parents of the guests who also contributed by their resence to the success of the undertak- ng. In the evening, the beautiful grounds of the hosts were illuminated and the “‘old folks” took advantage of the genial and fragrant atmosphere us weli as the attention if the hosts to bring the day to most happy close. Among the guests were the lullowmfi Alice Furay, Maggie McShane, Alice McShane, Mary McShane, Margaret Me- Shane, kllen McNamara, Aunnie McNa- mara, Lizzie Boddeling, Veronica Dough- erty, Rena Roach, Tessie Liutle, Goldie Murphy, Blanch Murphy, Stelia Murphy, Willie Waddell, Tommy McShane, J.

OnicAao, July 30.—[Special Telegram to the Bek.|—The pressure of August wheat upon the market carried prices down {@3c. St. Louis declined a full 1c, and other home markets were }@’(c lower. Cables were steady, and no alteration in prices is men- tioned. The general public is lending the market nosupport whatever, and the bears are aggressive, and as the bulis are apparent- ly unwilling to stand a serlous loss on in- vestments, the speculative values look shaky to disinterested observers. The semi-panic in Wall street is felt also on the produce exchange, though the shipping demand for forelgn nccount prevents a serious shrinkage in values. The seaboard clearances for the first five days of the week aggregate 1,607,000 bushels, agalnst 969,000 bushels for the cor- responding perfod last weok, and western voint receipts for the week are not materially larger than last week. Statisticians are guessing on an increase of about 1,000,000 bushels in the visible. The market did not seem to havebeen fully able to digest the load of long wheat that came out yesterday, and the opening this morning was off }@5%c as compared with yesterday. The phrase “limpness,” describes the tone of the market, and the tone did not undergo any decided change for the better up to 1 o’clock, though the break of !¢ from the opening figures in August was recovered and the first and last quotations were identical. There was a good deai of changing over of August contracts into later months. and the difference between Auvgust and September averaged 15(‘@l%e, thouch at one time it was 2.

September opened at 70'ge, sold down to 69)5c, and closed at the bottom. October opened at Tlgc and closed at Tl}gc, these rices being the extremes. The volume of rade was above an avel .

Nearly every commercial and manufacturing branch™ of businoss has its own particular terms of credit, and there is no uniformity in this re- spect. In England the payment of the prioce of the goods delivered is required at the end of three months, dating from the day of shipment. In France a four months' acceptance is required to be sent in settloment of the invoice, In Italy but little credit is done, and none without good security being given. 1n Spain four-fifths of the transactions are done on a cash basis, while in Portu- gal great liberality is shown and quite a s usually allowed. it is scarcely possible to do business without allowing a very long credit, which is nearly always one of six months, In Turkey, even objects of prime ne- cessity are sold on “credit, and in this country as well s in Russia, the time allowed is in most cases twelve months, In Canada scttlements are made ut the end of thirty days, with a discount of b per cent. Sometimes a credit of from three to six months is allowed, but in this case tnere i8 no discount. In Mexico the large commercial houses willingly give eredit of from six 10 eight months and in the retail trade longer terms are given customers in which to settle their accounts, In Costa Riea a credit of from six to twelve month is given in case of merchan- dise imported from Europe, in order that the goods muy bo easily and quickly dis- posed of. But since this system of ‘eredit us often left to ) , it 13 now being given up. In Cuba the time fixed for payment is nerally from four to five months after felivery of the goods. ‘I'he consul general of the United States at Rio states that of the greatest draw- backs to commercial intercourse with Brazil resides’in the necessity of allow- ing too long u eredit. At Rio Janeiro, as at Buenos Ayres, minimuw credit is six months, In the Bermudas acconunts but on Ve ‘Lhe 30th of June is the day usunlly fixed for the payments. n Asia Minor a crodit of " but two or three weeks is in most cases all that is allowed, In Chinait is not customuary to give ored Money is obtained from lenders, who exact an interest of from 8 to 12 per cont. Business is nowrly always con- ducted upon the cash basis. In Australia & credit of six generally allowad are settled months 18 | - Duvid McCirannahun of Yellowstone, Latayette county, Wis,, is a man of raro, perve, While reaching to pick up a board’ from the tall grass'a rattlesnake hit hinon the'end of tho. finger. - With oneé blow of the hatchet he amputated the finger in. about half a second after it - wu§ tom, “Lhen he paid attention to sl anake and cuy bim into swall pleces, 3 r ® tomatoes, 3.43G2.50; 3 1b corm |
