THE OUTLOOK SATISFACTORY. Indications That the Spring Trade Will Be Up to the Avera Dishonest Commission Quotations, The Local Review- The money market continues very easy, and the supply is if any thing in excess of the demand. Rates are therefore easter, and § per cent is the rule for prime mercantile paper. General trade has very materially improved the past week, and while the move- ment is not all it should be as yet, the indi- cations are that the spring trade will be fully up to the average and probably show a fair increase, Collections are only s0-80, and an improvement in this branch of busi- ness would not be wholly unacceptable. City trade has been good, and retailers are fairly content with the outlook. The produce market shows the advent of spring by its array of green pears, tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, onions, ete. Eggs are again lower, and butter is somewhat off, though choice grades are steady. There | # good deal of complaint from honest, reliable commis- sion merchants in regard to the prac- fjce of dishonestly = quoting prices above the market by a few firms who cannot obtain trade legitimately and resort to this victorious practice. Ship- pers should investigate the character of the parties to whom they propose to consign #oods and they may rest assured that the merchant who quotes above the market I‘riws current does so with a view to swind- ing the consignor, who has but little redress, a8 the cost of prosecuting petty scoundrels of this class is more than the results obtainable will warrant. The losses of the great foreign copper syn- te or trust are said to amount to 00,000, It is reported that the capital represented in the salt trust is £25,000,000, all the pro- ducers in the country being in the combina- tion, In England and throughoutv conti- nental Europe the salt trusts have provoked indignant protests and anti-trust agitation. An advance of a few cents a barrel does not impose a heavy burden on consumers, but people do not like to be at the mercy of a powerful ayndicate. The sugar trust is a fair buyer of raw sugar, but it has a good deal of difficulty in finding any lots at former prices, as most holders are demanding an advance. Sapplies are everywhere greatly reduced, snd the stocks at four ports of Great Britain are down to 152,000 wns, against 524,500 tons a year ago. Cuban advices are very bullist, and the amounts offered there are small. New York advices state that a cargo of box herrings is selling actively upon the basis of 20c for straight medium sealed. Farcy lines of New Orleans molasses are becoming scarce and prices are tending up- ward. 'I'he southern arket is said to be almost bare of stock. It 18 stated that the stocks of California unpeeled dried peaches are gradually disap. pearing. Philadelphia is the chief buyer and the demand 15 mainly speculative. ‘The maple sugar season has commenced in the castern townships of Quebec, and the trees are now generally on tap. ‘‘Warranted pure maple sugar” made from brown sugar with maple flavoring is for sale the year around, and it is remarkable how far a little sap will go. The New York Commercial Bulletin states that merchants i that city do not_entertain confidence in the reports that are being con- stantly sent over the wires and through the mails about the sales of salmon, the majority believing that the statement of 600,000 cases of all kinds of canned salmon sold for ship- ment to foreign countries is vastly over- drawn. They cannot understand why it is that there should at this carly season have been contracts made that are nearly 60 per cent in excess of the entire quantity shipped annually for years past. Sugar sales have been very heavy of late, owing to the advance and strong prospects for a further sharp rise, and & good deal of speculative buying has been done. The bulls ficure up a shortage of 50,000 tons in the world’s supply, and the advices state that Licht has reduced his estimate of the best crop 25,000 tons. In view of the steady ad- vancing market the prospect of importing re- fined sugars has been suggested, but parties who have carefully investigated assert that our prices are no way near high enough for such a move as yet. Coffee is being advanced by the specula- ters on the strength of the expected short Rio crop. Present supplies are ample for all current requircments, and the supply at the American seaboard and afloat for the same amount to 441,500 bags, against 385,000 bags a year ago. There are 374,000 bags in Rio, and Havre reports 455,000 bags, 205,000 of which are Brazilian. OMAHA LIVE STOCR. di Cattle. Saturday, Murch 23, 1889, The buyers wanted some cattle to-day and they got out and bought them, which was about the only difference between the market to-day and that of yesterday. The prices paid were about steady on all grades, but there was a better feeling prevailing on the market, and some for that reason were call- ing the trade stronger, ‘The receipts wero light and the yards were about cleared by ,midday, The prices paid for beef cattle ranged all the way from £3.00 to §3.80, with the bulk at £3.20@3.50. Butchers’ stock was in light supply and brought good prices in comparison with the way steers sold. The bulk of the cows went at $2.25@2.50, with something very choice as high as 75 or even $3.00. There is one thing which ship- pers must bear in mind, and that is the lnght demand for canners. Old, thin cows are not. selling as readily as thoy were a month ago: in fact, it is hard work to aispose of them at any price. The demand for bulls has also fallen off largely, as is usual at this season of the year. There was virtually no trading in feeders, there being no cattle of that ae- scription in the market to speak of. Hogs. The market was active, at prices strong Lo e higher and an cariy clearance was made, ‘The bulk of the hogs sold at $4.60, with one load at #4.05. There was no sorting, so that, although the market was higher, the top was not so high as yesterday. Sheep. There were six loads of Colorado lambs on the market, part of which were sold. ‘Lhe market continues firm at former quotations, Recoipts. Cattle.

Cnircaco, March 23.—[Special Tefegram to Tur Bee |—The wheat marked openea rather quietly, but the imtiul range was somewhat ragged on account of the nervous- ness of the trades. May started in at $1.043¢ @1.05, with clamor to buy at the outside. The price went to $1.041, however, with a good many trades at $1.041¢. <The market then shot up to $1.053(, and after o reaction of }{c broke and boomed to $1.07%{. At the top & big lot of long wheat came out and & vrecivitous decline to $1.061 resulted. This was all accomplished within the space of hall an hour or 80. The market then steadied and for quite a time thero was a large trade within a range of $1.064@1.07%. A decline 10 $1.047¢ was the next movement, and this was succceded bya rally to $1.06. Then until nearly the close the market was steady at $1.05 and fractionally above, fluries some times carrying the price above $1.05. Trade wot very light and the filling of small orders was sufficient to move the price, often- times, lge. This was one of the character- istics of the trade of the whole session. As was the case yesterday, some of the sharpest bulges and rallies were accompanied by light business, bidding for single lots of 5,000 bushels causing a 3{@lc _fluctuation. It was asingularly nervous and overwrought mar- ket. The closing twenty minutes was marked by a slumpy break to nearly $1.04. On the hard spots there was considerable wheat for sale, and the impression prevailed that the Fairbank-Hutchinson party was feeling the® crowd. Hutchinson was an open and active bidder through brokers for little lois and and shorts were coming in_all day with offers to buy, their wants, being accom- modated if"' patience was displayed. Bloom was a large seller around the top, and the gossip credits him with making o turn of 0,000 The bear houses absorbed a good deal of wheat during the day. The *'know alls” in the pit had it that the “clique” was gunning for Linn and the Schwarts- Dupee following, without however, bringing down that game, though Captain Phillip was credited with covering a big lme on the bulge. July wheat led in activity at first to- day. A *“tip" was in_circulation that there Was to be a whirl in this future, and every- body wanted a little at the beginning. Tho price went from Sic to 90c, breaking back to 88%¢c, however, only to rally again to 893c. From this point thére was another declin the crowd being encouraged to free selling by reports of rain in Kansas and Missours. The lowest bprice of the day up to 1 olclock, was 8Sijc. Tho break just before the close carried Juiy 10 B81{c, closing at $S% ¢, May £1.04%¢c. Thus while the day was decidedly bullish the clos- ings indicate very little change as compared with yesterday, May showing a gain of only 1o und July ijc, The excitewent and strength in the wheat market was again communicated to corn. The shorts were buying frecly and their de- mands were readily supplied after an ad- vance of about i{c in May above the opening ion. The St. Louis market showed & very light degree of sympathy with the ad- vance here, and New York none at all. Tho Liverpool market was firmer and_higher and the export buymg was reported from New York and Baltimore to be good and governed as to its extent mainly by considerations of vessel room and the rate of freight. The trading was not active and was chiefly local and scalping in its character. 'There was more than the usual amount of trad- ing in_June and July futures, May future in corn started in strong at 853c, out after the advance of Sic the closing price was the same as it rested at yesterday. The other futures went over a parallol course, but there were sellers of all the fu- tures at the closing quotations at the time of adjournment, Oate were quiet. The opening was weak 10 }¢c lower on the regular market, firming uplater along with wheat, with May ad- vancing Xc, to 26c. This figure called out a number of selling orders, and prices settled back a poiut or two, with later dullness the rule. A few outside orders were received and the room traders did most_of the busi- ness, which was not large, with June and July rather dull, Regular oats to go to store were steady at 24%c. The provision trade was again bullish in its tendency. The fluctuations were quite narrow, being limited to 20c in pork, 10¢ mn lard and 734c in short ribs, but the' side of higher prices had the call and the day closed with a gencral improvement. In_pork the advance established amounted to 73¢@123gc, in lard to 7}¢@10c and in short ribs to 7}4c. CHICAGO LIVE STOCRK.

The bulk of the mixed sold at $4.75@4.80, and best heavy at $4.85@4.8714; light sorts, $4.80@4.95. During the weelk tlie shippers bought fully half the recuipts. The principal packers are, or scem to be, the bears on the market, and when shipping orders are scarce they have eyery- thing their own way, as the market shows this week that the days when the shippers had plenty of orders there were good markets. ‘I'rom the vpresent indications the ouly thing that will hold the market up is plenty of shipping orders from the east and light receipts of hogs, CiicAGo, March 28, —Cattlo - Receipts, 21,000; beeves, $.00(@4.30; steers, £3,00@ .00; stockers and feeders, §2.25@3.30; cows, buils and mixed, §1.75@3.10, Hogs—1teceipts, 7,000: market stronger, e ghers mixed, $4.65@4.90: heavy, $4.65@ 45734 light, $4.70@5.00; skips, $3.00(¢4.3 Sheep—Receipts, 1,000; market steady; natives, $3.75@4.90; corn-fed western, #4.04 (@4.65; Texans, $3.00@405; lambs, $4.5)@ 5,60, 2 FINANCIA L. New Yorg, March 23, —[Special Telegram to Tue Bee) — Stocks—The close of the week finds the conditions and sentiment. both unchanged in the stock market. The fairly good rallies noticed early in the week had no general movement under them, and as soon as part of the short interest was satisfied, the dullness, if not heaviness, returned. The action in Chicago Gas while somewhat re- warkable, is not significant when the slump of Friday is remombered. During no day of the week has real activity spread through more than & dozen stocks, and frequently half a dozen securities took most of the in- terest. The current talk that some longs have been quietly taking stocks and that a grand rally is to be started all along the list, is not sincerely accepted by those who know most about the adverse workings of the roads. The transactions to-day were small and shed no light on the probable course of the market. The opening was rmarked by dullness, and a few shares, such as Chicago Gas, Burlington and Northwestern enjoyed 1l the activity, The first prices were about steady, but Oregon Improvement, Chicago Gas wnd Burlington showed special weak- ness, doclining 5 to 1 per cent each, Hope revived when a rally carried Gas certificates up to the early price and Burlington nearly 80. A second decline soon followed, and at 11 & . prices were below the opening, with the market dull. What activity there was toward noon was in Union Pacific, Burling- ton and Chicago Gas, and prices again tended downward, Pullman went against the cur- the market was heat h prices a shade lower than at the opening.

A Moderate Inquiry For Loans From Packers—Collections Fair—Wests ern Packing Shows a Fur- ther Incre: The Weekly Resume. Cmicaqo, March 23.—|Special Telogram to Tue B) 'he general situation of the money market remains much the same as & week ago. The flurry in Paris has not dis- turbed the evon tenor of financial circles on this side of the Atlantic, and from present indications is not likely to, as the American copper companies, who had transactions with the syndicate, hold Jotters of credit on bank- ing houses in London as a guaranty of their contracts. Rates remain steady in all the leading American financial conters, especially on time loans, which ranged from 5 to 8 per cent, 6 to ¥ per cent being the general aver- age. There is plenty of money offered on call in New York at 2@?2}§ per cent on stock collaterals, and in this oity 4@5 are the leading rates on such securities, There is a moderate mquiry for loans from packers, but the grain carriers aro using very little money, as the bulk of the grain here is held against May *contracts, ‘There is not the usual call for fuvors to meet the regular mouthly settlements, Merchunts are taking moderate amounts to pay for bills falling due; also to extend their purchases in some instances where they see chances of makmmg quick returns. Lumbermen are borrowling quite frecly and the banks in the lumber districts are ordering considerable currency to enable customers to meet their obligations to their haunds and to pay other incidentals necessary before commencing on this scason’s work. There counsiderable money on the street that finds its w hiefly into paper from the outside that pays 6@8 per cent. The deposits with many of the banks are keeping up weoll and the bankers are satisfied with them. Collections are firm. New York exchange was slow and in _rather small supply. Sales wera nade at 40@ discount and closed at 60c discount per §1,000. Foreign exchange at times was offered_more freely, the increase being due to the liberal exports of corn and provisions. Sales ranged at #4.843{@4.85 for sixty day documentary sterling bills on London. 'The jobbing trade moves along fs . Dry goods are selling with considerable freedom, butthere is ample room for marked improvement. Clothing, shoes, groceries and hardware are fairly ac- tive and steady. The leading in the New York stock market the past week ran more to specialtivs than for some time past, grangers and Chicago ias Trusts being the leaders, The feeling during the greater part of the week was uncasy, particularly on grangers and South- western stocks. Long deferred liguidation in Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Rock Is- land and Atchison by Boston parties came at last, being in & measure hastened by the fears of a total collapse in the copper securi- ties, which have been the main stay of the Bostoniaus for over a year. Had it not been for the large dividends earned by the copper mines they own their railroad stocks would have been thrown overboard mouths ago. The news from London and Paris was of a depressing chavacter and the foreign operators sent liberal selling order: Their course, coupled with that of the Bo ton and Chicago operators, caused a down- ward movement, the like of which has not been seen in months. ‘The depression in Burlington was increased by the report for 1888, making o poorer showing than goner- ally ‘expected, vhe deficit in the _year's busi- ness being 84,740,000, and prices declined 4 points, Atchison 5, Rock Island 3. Thre snort interest was materially increased by the decline, and the operators rendered more nervous than ever. The desire to cover caused. & natural reactiou, and the shrinkage on somge of the stocks that iere s0ld down in sympathy was rogained. The loss on the leading stocks wus only partly recovert The most active stock outside of grangers was Chicago Gas Trust. Early decline of 1 point occurred, but good steady ng reversed the current, and an ndvance ¢ points followed. The purchases were based on reports that trusts carnings were steadily increasing and a 2 per cent dividend is expected to be declared at the next meet- ing. Taking the market as a whole it was active ana at times excited, the fluctuations being rapid and severe. A lurge volume of business was transacted, The sales reached 1,479,212 shares .. While the weather in the couatry tribue tary to the Chicago market was a little colder during the past weck, the change ywas not sufficiently marked to retard spring work among the farmers. Seeding is pro- gressing favorably and considerable wheat and oats have been sown, and the ground is being prepared for corn in sane sections. The crop outlook is generally regarded as favorable, and the fall sown grain comes out of the winter season looking remarkably well. What is true of this country applies equally as well to Burope, the reports from that quarter being favorable. The leading produce markets attracted considerable at tention during the past week, especially in & speculative way, and the business tran- sacted was quite large. The contest be- tween the longs and shorts was wi with conmderablo vigor on both sides, and fluctuations in prices were quite frequent, with the rosult mnot very ratisfactory to either side of the mar- ket, In some instances the former wore suc- cessful in gaining slight advances, while in others the latter were equully as fortun the closing figures, excepting for wh showing only slight changes from those ‘s last week. Operators are still transferring their trados ahead as much as possible, May and July being the principal deliveries in the shipping branch of the trade. Taere has been some interest manifested, especially in way of filling orders for moderate quan- s, and mainly from castern interior points. The supplies of grain in the leading markets are gradually decreasing, and the arrivals at the intorior stations are compara~ tively light, partinlly due to the fact that farmers are now giving other and more im- portant matters their attention. The ad- vices from the Kuropean markets have not been very favorable to holders, und orders from abroad have been small. The unsettled feeling in financial circles has led to more conservatism in that auarter, The move- me ive stock have not been quite 8o free, as the prices were unsatisfactory to shippers. ‘Ihe packing of the west. for the week shows a further material enlargement, and the returns since March 1, compared with those of the correeponding time in 1888, slLow an in ase of nearly 50 per cent, .
