THE CONDITION OF TRAD: Locally the Financial Market Con- tinues Very Quiet. MONEY EASY IN ALL THE WEST, Jobbers Report a Very Fair and Sea- sonable Business—Collections Not Up to Last Year's Standard. The Weekly Resume. The local financial market continues very ensy and bankers characterize the situation as comfortable. There Is a good demand for money for building purposes, and loan and investment companies are placing liberal sums on inside real estate to pay for contem- plated fmprovements, Rates to this class of borrowers are lower than heretofore, and capital is offering itself freely for use in this direction. The heavy April quarterly dis- bursements for dividend account mado at eastern financial centres increased the loAna- ble surplus there and provented the possible stringency which had been anticipated by some authorities. Money is easy through- vut the entiro west, and Kansas City capi- talists have been offering funds to bankers here at low rates, nominal rates in fact, but found no takers, This state of affairs is not entirely satisfactory, as it betokens an unusual business depression, as is really the case. An active money market, even if somewhat stringent, is more to be wished for than a quict, lethargic market, but until holders of surplus money can make up thelc minds as to where profits are to come from soonest, it must be expected that the situa- tion will remain unchanged. Jobbers report a very fair and seasonable trade for the first week or April, with sales footing 10 to 15 per cent in advance of last April. Collections, however, are not up to the standard of last year at this season. Farmers seem to be holding their surplus crops, and while country merchants are be- lieved to be in good condition, they find it difticult to collect when = their custom- ers are holding back the pro- ducts which should be converted into money, and therefore cannot be as prompt in remitting to the jobbers as they should be. Nevertheless ‘reports from traveling lesmen and interior bankers are hopeful as of tne ultimate outcome, and there 1s no doubt whatever but that the year's busincss will snow the increase which has come to be looked for as a necessary sequence. Prices show some changes Sugars are higher again and the trust maintains its grip tou- miklaunly, feeling perhups that as it may, it In dry goods ginghams aro lower, stan- dards being quoted at 6i¢c, while prints are bigher, with a very large and exceptional demand for satines, which displuce ging- hams, but do not interfere with vrints. Tens, molasses, salt and rice are iigher aud groceries are, as a rule, steady, with a tendency to higner figures. The lumber and hardware trade is brisk, and the gencral outlook is very satisfactory indeed, Real estate values are fully maintained, especially on inside propery, and there is a demand for eligible suburban property con- sequent upon the consolidation and probable extension of the street railway system. NOTES. A table published in the London Economist shows the increase in the copper output of the world since 1882. It shows the output of the Lake Stperior mines to have increased in that tune from 2,56440 to 88,772 tons, and the Montana olltlml from 4,045 to 43,078 tous. The total United States output {ncreased 40,740 to 103,128 tons. “The short crop of sugar canc and the riso in sugar and other eane products is stimu- lating the production of glucose. It is claimed that a bushel of corn will make thirty pounds of sugar and three pecks of cow feed. To convert corn into sugar is a very simple process. The corn is first con- verted into starch. A small percentage of sulphurie acid converts the starch into sugar. The transformation is so sudden as to seem marvelous. A vast rwnn!(h_v of corn sugar and corn syrup is used by brewers aud confectioners, large portion of the fancy syrups sold by grocers is also corn syrup with a fancy name. Coffee is held firmly. The present esti- mate of the growing Rio crop is as low as 1,500,000 bags, mough the more conservative put- it at 2,000,000 bags. But this is'a very small crop, \vhen there should be 7,000,000, The drought has been unusvally sovere in the coffee districts, and now the yellow fever is raging in both Ttio and Santos, which will tend seriously against the coffee crop. Oils are fairly active and carbon oils are llend) Turpentine is off 8c, with sales at n':mr gallon. hed sugars are active and advancing, and at New York thero is an evident disineli- nation to book orders for more than 100 bar- rels to any one buyer. The combination of refinors does not weakep a partjcle, and the sugar trust has just as much power as it had before the decision was rendered by a New York judge. The Kuropean sugar continues buoyant, with evidences of considerable ex- citement, while Cuban advices state that all the warehouses at Havana and along the const are almost empty and exports aro much smaller than last year, despite the ad- vanced period of the season, and a large number of plantations have already termi- nated grinding. Dnofl fruiis are selling much better than canned fruits, as they are a good deal choapor. Californin dried fruits are doing particularly well and peaches and apricots are havinga very good sale. Evaporated apples aze selling slowly at unchanged rices, but enough orders are coming in to 0ld the market steady. Raspberrics are in d supply and prxml are shaded. Black- ‘w jos ure loy and sales are made rather l,llxuml corn is attracting a somewhat boiter demand, but it will require a long season of activity to work off the abundancu of stock that is held in all sections of the country, Prices are low and declining. - ‘The salt trus n assured thing and the advanced prices are maintained. Many of the leading salt men of New York and Chi- cago have been interviewed and they admit that Englisb capitalists stand ready to invest enormous sums in the purchase of salt blocks and mines. Rico is hardening in value and rough rice has recently advanced 50 nnr bbl in New Orleans, whilo clean rice is 2§@Xc per 1b higher there. - me of the operators in New York have "t boon talking higher prices for tea, based on the shortage of crop, which is vul‘luully esti- mated from 7,000,000, 1o 8,000,000, In addi- tion to this they have been' using the news of the Chicago fire to bull the market. The only change in the Chicago market is an advance of lc per 1b in Japen teas that sell below 20c, The loss by the fire was about 40,000 boxes, valued at §1,000,000. Black strap molasses hus ' commenced to take the upward turn, with 1,000 bbls extra heavy sold ut New York at 12go for May, and. for the time being, at least, no further offering at that rate.

Cnrcaco, April 8.—[Special Telegram to Tae Ber.|—The market was in need of a rest and took one to-day, Trading was light, and though May was still nervous it was steadier than it has shown itself for a long time back. There were still some tailers ligudating and though the medicine was bit- ter it was preferred to further worrying on abare bone. The promised display of rea fire and skyrockets did not materialize. The May deul goes out with a fizzle like a damp squib. Some talk of cold, dry weather in the northwest and the feeling which was very general yesterday, and s still prevailing, that the Fairbank interest was inclined to push prices for July a few notches higher caused that future to open with a show of firmness at about the closing figure of the day before. The discouraging nature of the foreign ad- vices, however, and the reported selling in New York of two boat loads previously bought there for export, induced some selling which brought about a lower range. The crowd, while not evincing any anxiety to trade, showed a nervousness which kept the pit well filled with watchers waiting for a decided lead to shape their course by. Hutchinson was supposod to be loaded, but his tracks were so well covered that the scalpers could not determine whether his shot was likely to make the fur fly from the bears or their antagonists, the bulls, The fluctvations were confined within limits of ) for May, and & und 86 @ ‘The closing prices to-day aro sterday’s by 1con the former and 1{c on the latter. ‘The corn market opened fairly firm, but inactive. There was some buying of May and selling of July by a_prominent tirm, but. tne trading was generally of a scalping char- acter and of small proportion. 'The receipts exceeded vesterday's estimates by sixty cars, and for Monday they were calculated to be 240 cars. The fluctuations were very narrow, and prices at the close were almest identical with those prevailing at the cor- responding time yesterday. Oats were in better demand so far as near futures were concerned, with May selling up k@ic to 20c. The improvement was largely attributed to yesterday’s sales of 25,000,000 bushels of cash oats for immediate shipuient, with_reports of further negotia- tions a similar nature. The shorts took fair quantities, and the market later ruled weaker. The receipts were only moderate, with 23 out of S5 cars passing into the con- truct grades. No. 2, to go into store, was dull at 251 c. Provieion traders were not overburdened with business. Their outside orders direct- ing sules or purchases of property were com- paratively insufticient, while in a profes- sional way the traders made an unusually poor showing in all branches of the market. Short ribs sold and closed at practically yes- terday’s prices, but in pork a decline amount- ing to 10¢ was suffered. CHI10AGO LIVE SIOOR. Cricaco, April Spacial Telegram-to Tnr Bes.|—CATTLE—AUthe opening there was considerable of a spurt and a large num- ber sold at a slight advance, but after the urgent orders were filled and about all the desirable stock sold, values remained only steady on the remainder.

The Outlook For a Good Yield For Fall Sown Grain Very Encourag- ing—Western Packing Oper tions Favorable. Trade Over the Uountry. Cnicaco, April 6.—[Special Telegfam to Tre Bee|—At the banks thore is a good steady business in all the departments, and as the clearing house statements indicate,the volume of the transactions is larger than ever before at this season. While not in ur- gent demand from any particular source, money is in sufficient request to enable the banks to employ a larger percentage of their loanable balances, and with most banks they show a liberal decrease during the past ten days or two weoks, and rates aro steadicr at B@7 per cent, 5@0 per cent being the ruling figures for the choice convertible collaterals and gilt-edged names, and 6%@7 per cent for good sixty days to four months paper. The amount of paper on the strect 18 increasing and commands 4{@7 per cent, the inside being only in a few instances. Interior corn dealers are still borrowers to a considerable degroe, as they prefer to fill their cribs and hold their grain either apainst sales here for May and further de- liveries or in anticipation of higher prices later on. There fs also a fair amount of funds being used by cattle dealers who are buying stock to fatten for the late spring and early summer market. A\)mr{\linn by these channels, coupled with miscellaneous calls, is likely to coutinue in the near future, and there are substantial reasons for pre- dicting an easier money market until busi- ness felly feels the effect of the summer dullng Tn fact, Chicago has assumed such importance as a finandial center, and the area of the country which now looks here for financial assistance has become 80 broad that a return of the old-time summer dullnes n scarcely be ex- pected. Money in New York has been ex- ceeduagly irrecular throughout the week and rates had a range of 8@10 per cent, closing at 8 per cent for all bonds on stock and bond collaterals. The prime cause for the fi ness was based on fears of further financial troubles in Pg The fact that the monthiy settlements were made without interruption would indicate that the uneasiness recently predominating here had subsi and that monetary affairs were working smoothly. Exchange on New York is in moderate sup- nd sold fairly av par to a 50¢ discount 81.00, closing at per. Foreigh exchange remained firm carly no advance occurred in rates, The supp) bills was large and brought $4.801 u|4 for shippers’ documentary bills, el however, was casy at the feature of the tock market the past week was continued actively in Burlicgton, Atchison and Chicago gns trusts. Tho first named properties ab- sorbed the most attention, and were exceed- ingly unsettled in their movemeonts. News regarding Atchison was more abundant than about any other property, and of an adverse character, Early it was reportod that the road was about to pass into a receiver's hands. While there was no truth inthe story, the scare gave the Bostonians con- siderable uncasiness. Tueir holdings of this properly have decreased heavily, about 1,000 stock holders having unloaded within six months. While the Boston holdings have decreased, those of New York have gamed, and 25 per cent ef the entire stock is now held there. Heavy realization early caused a short decline to 30%, the lowest figures reached. The break inducea heavy buyiug to cover shorts. Gould also received credit for buying largely, and it was reported that he wanted to secure control of the prop- erty. The presence in Boston of a London banker, who has acted finuncial agent of the company, created a rumor that the road would be helped out of its financial difficul- ties, and an advance of 4% followed. Bur- lington sold off rather sharply on the publi- cation of its February report, showing a net decrease of 53,000, but subsequently rallied over 2 per cent. Rock Island was slightly depreciated by its report_for 1888, showing a net decrease of $1,425,535, also that it had failed to earn dividends paid, its bonded debt increasing $10,000,000. Chicago Gas Trust advanced to 50, but receded about 2 p nt on heavy realzing. Missouri Pa- cific developed surprising acti and_ad- vanced 4 points. Union Pacific, New Ingland and Reading were more animated and generally higher. The rest of the list, aithough irregular, averaged higher. The aggregate sales on the New York stock ex- change for the week ending Friday were 1,518,000 shares, Had the New York bank stutement been less unfayorable there wus good reason to expect that the stock market would repeat the uction of Thursday and Friday and score fair gains in a few, at least, of the active stocks. Such was not lllu ca At the close prices were with sca tion where they closed yesterday. The market opened with a fair amount of business, with Reading, Atchison and Gran- gers conspicuous, The prices were, as on the previous days since the recovery began 44 10 ¢ per cent better. The fluctuations wWere narrow, with a dropping tendency from the opening in the less active of the list. While Atchison and Grangers made slight advances Missouri Pacitic opened i lower, declined % and then advanced a point from the lmLI.om and closed 3 better than last night, There was a decline of 3§ to % each in Rock Island, Northwestern preferred and Tennesse Coal, with a rise of ¥7 in Ohio & Mm'ul;:n and ‘4" inTexas & l"orl. Worth. An hour before the close there was an increase in the volume of the trading, and an improved feeling ana an upward tendency in prices with Atchison, Missouri Pacific and Burlin, ton led in list. Then came the bank state- ment, showing o heavy reduction in the rey- enue, leaving but little more than $1,000,000 over the legal requirement. This fell like a blanket on he market, the upward move- ment was checked, some declines followed, and at noon the list was heavy, with all the gains for the day lost. The leading produce markets attracted considerable attentiou in a speculative way during the past week, and trading was quite active. An unsettled and weak feeling pre- vailed during vhe greater portion of the time and the prices of leading articles fluctuated considerable. The weather in most sections of the northwest and west has been rather favorable for farm work, though the temper- ature was lower, but not sufticient to check seeding. Advices regarding the growing crops continue favorable, and the outlook for a good yield from the fall sown grain is very encouraging. Lake navigation has opened earlier than usual, and grain is mov- idg toward the seaboard in round iots., In fact all kinds of business appear to open up earlier than usual, and the prospects are very favorable for n active trade in all depart- ments during the spring and summer months. Agricultural uffairs in Europe are generall; encouraging to the farming interests, though probably not as promising as in this country, Advices from the leading markets of Europe were not flnrucmnrly encouraging to hold- ers, and the iadications point to rather more conservatism in that quarter. The stocks of 5ruln in the forcign markets are gradually ccreasing, while the supplies of provisions are llullh.umlly large to readily meet all wants, The movement of grain at the in- terior points is somewhat limited, as is usual at this scason of the year. The supplies of !rnln in the central market are gradually iminishing, while the stocks of provisions show a gradual enlargement. In the specu- lative markets the bear interest appeared to be & little more- suc- cessful, @nd prices in most instances have ruled lower. The operators apparently are transferring their contracts ahead, July delivery 18 now attracting a8 wuch it not more attention than May. In the shippl branch of trade there was only a fair b\ll ness tran: The shippers are buying only small lots and merchants in the eastern markets are looking forward to increased supplies b‘v‘ the lake route. The export movement is comparatively light in grain, excepting corn, whilethe shipments o’ visions are moderately free. The movumonv. of live stock to market is rather liberal for this season of the year. Pasking operations in the west are progressing favorably, and the returns for the summer season s0 are considerably in excess of the returns of last scason 10 date, and the quality is de- cidedly beuter, The inside.

It was rumored yesterday that a man had attempted to commit suicide, by taking mor- phine, in a house on Williams street, near Sixteenth. A reporter called at a house sup- posed to be the place, and rapped loudly at all the doors, but received no suswer. In- quiry was made at neighbors, but nothing coutd be learned of the inmates of the house. Passing the house again tho newsgatherer saw a boy steal from an out-building into the dwelling, and running quickly to the door again rapped loudly, but with no more effect than before, The reporter went away o short,_distance and awaited developments. The boy soon came out and stood leaning against the building. The watcher walked quickly up behind him, Dy you live here " 'he asked. “The boy jumped about a foot and then ans- wered ‘‘yes,” “Why didn't you knocked " No answer. The woman came to the door at this junc- ture and was asked about the reported at tempt at suicide. She denied everything. It is said that the woman came here some months ago from Creston, ITa., and during her residence here has lived with threo or four different men, She is fair looking and about thirty-five years old. let me in when T Samste sy A Case Mysteriously Droppad.

When Tuflield was questioned by an ofticer before his flight he said that Hardin dare not make an investigation. Chief Seavey has roturned the #00 worthygof guns to Cowin, the pawnbroker. sl vt Operative Departments Consolidated. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific has announced that it will soon commence opera- tion of the Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska. This move has long been expected in railroad circles principolly for the reason that tho Chicago, KKansea & Nebraskn is practically owned by the Rock Isiand company. In con- solidation a large number of ofiicials and employes will be let out from which the Rock Island company expects to realize a saving of about $1,000,000 annually. To-Day's Ball Game.
