A few cantelopes were re- peived, and watermelons from Ge a have been plentiful at lower prices. The peach prop, both east and west, is said to be very fine and will make up for the deficiency in small fruits. There Las been a dearth of sea fish—the only supplies on hand coming from the 1akes and rivers of the west. Meats are un- shanged in price and butchers complain of a great falling pff in the demand, which is 0t unexpected, however, at this season. ol ety OMAHA LIVE STOCK.

Cricaco, July wcial Telegram to | Tue Bee.]—For \hlv second time this week wheat advanced % in aday. It opened strong and igc higher on bullish cables and ad- vanced another 114@1%c, reacting from the extreme range of prices, but closing strong with an important gain as compared with yesterday. Compared with a week ago the | market shows au improvement of 1ifc or such a matter, but the advance from bottom prices is nearly 4c. On the great advance to-day there was comparatively little buying by commission houses. The country, by which term is meant general outside specu- lative trade, was possessed of a desire to realize profits to-day, and a great deal of mis- cellaneous selling <was of that churacter. Comuussion people sold many times more than they bought according to the state- ments of a dozen or more representative concerns. The buying was led by Ream, Cudahy and Hutchinson, and the whole “*pro fessional” bear element followed, as near as could be ascertained. There was also most excellent buying by foreign houses; Geddes probably doing more than any other to-day. St. Lowis covered large lines of short wheat and their covering was, as before stated, very general. There have been days when fluctuations in prices were within I{e limitations that more business was doue in wheat than to-day, but times have been rare wi ad control. August ranged U ber S14@32%c and December 8?@s4i4c. The close was within ic of the top.

CHICAGO LIVE STOCK, Cnicaco, July 28.—|Special Telegram to Tare Bee. | —Catrre—The few loads of good natives on sale were sold out at about yes- terday’s prices, but Texans sold a shade lower, and comwmon natives followed the down-turn on Texans. During the week just closed we have had a fitful and unsettled market. The export trade has fallen off and values are lower in English markets. There was a spasm of strepgth Tuesday, but the slight advance then gained no more than off- set the previous day's weakening, and as the prevalent feeling since has been one of pro- found depression, we have to note a loss for the week of 20@25¢ per 100 1bs in the sclling value of the general run of shipping cattle with & downtdrn of 30@4dc on common cows, and canning stock 25(@30¢ lower than last week. For the week the receipts of Texans have averaged each day about one-third of the sup; The qual- ity-of Texans was not as good as for the previous week and in common to fair sorts we have to note adecline of fully 30@40c. The receipts mcluded 1400 Texas cattle, Medium to good steers, 1350 to 1500 1bs, $5.10 (% 1200 t 01L;01Im,$(’dl(lb|. 1bs, 83.75(@4.75; stockers and fecders, $2 mm; . cows, bulls_and mixed, §1.50@3.0 k, 8240@3.00.

Hoos—Business was active with an up- turn of 5o on light and no particular change in packers or heavy sorts. The trade during the week has been active from first to last. Values have almost steadily advanced from day to day, with occasionally a drop of 5@10c, but when an advance was again made the turn showed an upward shoot of 15@30c and to-day values are 10@15c higher than last Saturday on packers and assorted heavy and z@m higher on light sorts, bestm: $6.50@0.55; best medium and ]nn.kcrs, $6. 6.40, aud light sorts, 1 80.506,05 NEw Yonrs, Jul; Tur. Bee.] -Srocks—The bulls have had a y verything favored their side and prices were gradually advanced. Speca- lation at times was heavy but it showed a lack of outside business which is essential to a permanent advance in values. The chief foature was the decision of Judge Brewer in the Towa railroad case, temporarily restrain- ing tke railroad commissioners of tho state from enforcing their schedule of rates. This decision is regarded by operators as of great importance. While the injunction is but temporary it is based on the broad principle that states have no right to *‘fix unreasonable freight rates,” and if sustained by further decisions will effectually check the enforce- ment of what has been known as ‘‘granger legislution,” which has been threatening the prosperity, if not the existence, of many rail- wi corporations. These laws are detri- mental to the prosperity of all the roads where they were enacted and capitalists rocognize the great importance to these cor- porations of this restraining Aacision and be- lieve that in the future it way have a tendency 10 change the ideas of grangers rogarding railroad property. London has been an im- portant factor and almost daily shaped the course of the market by sending in large buy- ing orders. The “shorts” were driven to cover rapidly and as is usually the case when the sentiment in Wall street is mostly bull- ish, the talk of the formation of bull pools in active stocks was frequent. Specialists bid up their favorites and made strong efforts to unload. Grangers came in for a large share of attention and at times showed most strength and activity. The highest prices were reached Friday. The market had a strained look and the realizing movement to- day caused a decided slump, but closing sales showed net gains on active stocks extending to 2.

The movement in cur- rency to the interior was comparatively light though the prospecy is favorable for some improvement as new crops are now begin- nmng to move and in the course of a week or two at least, consignments of grain will be considerably enlarged. Some speculators in grain, provisions ana stocks were moderate borrowers, and chiefly in the way of money for margins. Some inquiry was made for loans to pay for property to be delivered on August contracts and borrowers succeeded in securing such accommodations us they desired though the amounts-required were not reported to be large. Shippers of grain and provisions were virtually out of the market excepting for moderatc amounts on short date paper. Packers are comparative strangers at the bauks. Lumber dealers are moderate borrowers. Merchants in the wholesale mercantile trade have presented some paper for discount, but their wants were not pressing. Rates of interest rather inclined in favor of borrowers, but there was no material change to note in fizures. Call loans can be obtained at 3 per cent and time loaus are quotable at 0 ¥ per cent, depending on amount wanted and the standing of the borrower. In the eastern money market the feeling was stronger with a little better demand for discounts. [nterest rates have improved somewhat, raugmg at Z per cent on call and 434@8 per cent on antile time paper. Advices from abroad indicate a littie more steadiness in that quarter, with rather more demand from vari ous sources for money. The bulance of the English banks has been somewhat reduced Wlnlll‘ those on the continent were somewhat in fair supply and bout sufcient to absorb the offerit es were made at 3 count to 50c premium per §! market closed at about par to discount. Foreign exchange inclined to quictness. Of- ferings were somewhat larger owing to the increased exports of breadstuffs while the de- mand was ouly fair. Shippers' sixty days documentary bills on London were decid- edly weak and lower, changed hands at $4.54@4.85% and closed quiet ut . 454k Cousiderable interest was manifested in the New York stock market and quits good business was transacted, In u the feeling was firm, with m tions in price the principal traders, through stock brokers abroad were credited wit™ a little more busi- ness than usual. Wester i speculators trade: to some extent but gave speciaities the most attention, The earnings of the leading rail- roads made a fair showing and the good de- maud for coal and the splendid outlook for crops tended to strengthen the stocks of the properties interested. The parties on the “short” side of the market were a little” more anxious to purchase at times there was considerable realizing by “longs.” Trading was quite general for the whole list, but Reading, St. Paul, New York & New England, Delaware, Lacka- wanna & Western, Union Pacific and West- ern Union attracted the most attention. The freight war still continues both in the east and west, and undoubtedly will make an in- road in the earnings of the leading lines dur- ing the summer months. The market closed rather strong. The sales on the New York stock exchange during the past week aggre- gated 1,262,000 shares. ‘While -pwuln'lve trading was fairly active during the week, iliere was no unusual vol: ume of business, no very large offerings and no unusual demand from any source. The prices for leading cereals ruled with considerable irregularity, though flue tuations were confined within & compar- atively narrow range. The “shorts” were free purchasers in some of the markets and local operators traded to some exton but managed to keep their lines well even: cP Advices from forelgn markets wore de- edly favorable to sellers, owing to the rious damage reported to crops in that quarter, but these re) to bave very little elem. on the market or the course of prices here. Regarding crops in this country there ‘is little doubt but that th the demand wa: be very u:uu du ly in nu of new ndl frld oreas- still somewhat scattering. The ackivale of old raih for o ssason ot the' year wers now all western markets, while shipments have been liberal, especially | from lake ports. The stocks of leading | cereals are still dccreasing, though the freo movement of new grain shortly will no doubt cnlarge them again. There h been more inquiry for flour and grain_for ex- port, especially at the scaboard and quite liberal purchases were made publ Provisions have exhibited considerable activity, and prices have averaged higher, due 1o light receipts of hogs and a marked in” crease in shipments of products on low rates of freight. Packing i the west is progress- ing moderately, and the returns now show a decrease of about 100,000 hogs, compared with last season’s figures to date, Sty OMAHA MARKETS. Leather.
