The week just closed contained one legal holiday and yet the transactions in real es- tate business have been numerous and a large amount of Omaha dirt has changed hands. It must bo admitted that the business of the week past falls considerably short of the cor- responding period in 1887, and this is chiefly due to the unsettled state of prospective city improvements for 1588, The “bull-headed- ness”? of the city council and the general Delief that it will be stopped in its ignorant and unautliorized expenditures, together with the feeling of insecurity that exists at pros ent in the minds of the taxpayers concerning the future actions of the councilmasic boodle kes the moneyed men very careful desires to purchase some unimproved property it is nutural that he invests his wmoney, be- ving that the property will be much more ble in the mear future. But when the lists of this and other cities, who are willing to invest in city property believe that the city council is in the hands of unprincipled grading contractors and jobbers of all de- scriptions, then investments are very care- fully made. Capital is timid and even the reaon alone is tho realty busincss Itis to bo hoped that within u woek, possibly days, the present state of af- fairs will be thoroughly changed and confi- dence thereby increaséd.

SATURDAY MARKET FIGURES. ‘Wheat Shows Strength Throughout the Entlre Session. ACTIVE TRADING IN CORN. A Strong Feeling in Provisions With Slow Business—Cattle Prices Good—Hogs Unsatisfactory —General Quotations. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cricaco, Feb, 25.—[Special Telegram to the Ber.]—The government weather bureau predicted a cold wave to follow last night's rain and wheat traders knew that meant a flood of crop damage reports to follow, with the condition of the winter wheat crop a very important factor in determining the course of prices. This prediction was enough of it- self to strengthen the courage of believers in higher prices. Moreover, cables were firm and better in tone, though no advance in prices was quoted, and exports were fair, A large decrease in the “visible' was expected and Hutchinson was buying wheat m large ies. All these influences combined, however, were only sufficient to advance prices i{c from the opening. There was some buying for outside account, but it was not large enough to indicate any such *“‘taking hold” by the country as the bulls are looking for to tuke the market out of the control of one man, The market was strong throughout the session and closed at the highest pownt. May wheat opened at 80'gc—which was ¢ higher than yesterday's close—sold down to S0%c early, then advanced to 805(c and a lit- tle later to 03¢, then fell to 80% ¢ again and hung between that price and 80%c for a long time, advancing slowly before the close to S034c, which was the closing pi June wheat opened at 80ic, sold at S0%c and S1c and closed nominally at 81e. Tt is generally expected here that the visible supply state- ment Monday will show a decrease of about 1,000,000 bushels. Trade in the corn pit was quite active at times, but it was largely local, although there were some buying orders from the out- side. Hutchinson both bought and sold corn. The closing prices were but_little changed from the opening ones, but in the meantime there had been some quick fluctuations caused by the necessities of the local tr: in their efforts to straighten out fllelr trans- actions on the last day of the week. The re- ceipts wero but 201 cers where 335 had been expected, and this was a strengthening feature early. May corn opened at bi%c and worked up to 51%¢c during the early trading, then back below the opening price, and, on the knowledge of an estimate of 445 cars for Monday, touching 5lc. There was a reaction later, huvmv»r, and 5ligc’ was bid at the ose. June corn opened at Hlifc, sold at 3 ;uuud down to 50%c’ and closed at 51 e id Speculative trade in oats was quiet, and flultuullann were confined within a range of 4¢. The market ruled ae little firmer in n_\'mruthy with other grains, but the advance established was very slight. May oats opened at .!l je, sold up to 1% @sllye and down to 81's@31%c, which was yesterday's closing price, and closed at 31%5¢. June oits opened at 311@313¢, sold down to 3115¢ and closed at 31}Gc. In provisions quite a‘strong fo(-lmg w displayed. Trading was generally a little slow and without special featu ot the market was well supported and the fluctua- tions extendéd only over a moderate range. Based on last night's closing, pork at ad- journment showed an advance of 5@7'gc Short ribs were quotably unchanged, whilo lard rested 2!c easier. Short ribs more than divided with pork the speculative interest shown. For May, the favorite deliver pork sold at $19: 1¢(@14.10, lard at & ¢, and short ribs at &%.8240 for the same month closed at transactions confined to the tr tracts. Changes of KFebrug were made to May at 17 ry and March lard at 101 bruary and March short June pork_was nominally closing at 14,114, 8 [Special Telegram to The fresh cattle on sale readily found purchasers, the fat cattle de- partment of the market closing fully as strong as yesterday.

Grangers suffered the most, as the influences brought to bear were aimed directly at them. To this was added tho probubility of a strike of engineers and five- men on the Chicago, Burlington & Quimcy, next week. Timid shorts covered quite freely’yesterday, und the longs took advant- age of their buying, and sold all the market would take. The bears regarded the:out- look for the western roads with more suspi- cion than heretofore, and sold moderately at flrst, but the bank statement coming out showing a decrease in the reserve of §1,786, 750, they jumped inand aided the market and forced prices down, the market closing weak at inside figures, Chicago, Burlington & Quiney was off 1 point, Northwestern 3, St. Paul %, Missouri Pacific 3, Western Union 3, Louisville & Nushville 7.
