Banlkers report a very casy money market, with liberal depoeits and a fair demand for loanable funds, Rates are about as usual, 8(@10 per cent for prime mercantilo paper. The clearings, as reported by Mr. Hughes, manager of tho Omaha clearing house, were, for the week, $3,432,002.73, an increase of 11.8 per cent. The balances were $504,302.27. This was for five da; only, as Arbor day was u bank holiday. General traae continues fair in all lincs, and some houses report a arge increase in sales over last i Col- lections continue to improve, and the volume of checks, drafts and currency from the country i secttlement of merchandise in- debtness is of goodly size, and_accounts aro said to be in suitable shape. Crop prospects continue excellent and the outlook from commercial and tinaucial standpoints is very favorable. Prices are steady with a tend- ency to increasing firmness for dried feuits, lemons, peanuts and coffees. Flour is still depressed and declining in harmony with wheat and the curtailed demand from ex- porters, who think our prices current o high 1o ship on. Live stock brings good figures as compared with the prices obtainable for corn. Provisions have recovered somewnhat from the sluggzishness felt lately, and upon the whole, the markets of the week show a steady tone. The stock market is reported as lethargic and 1ron is dull and sluggish, as is also coal. Mr. Armsby, of Chicago, in his last circu- lar seoms to be stivred up on the inter-state commerce bill question and says: “‘We are still in hopes of getting low rates before mnew shipments commence, although between the inter-state commerce regulation and the tariff laws of some of our western states, it looks as though the bankruptey court was the inevitable end of the bulk of our roads. We woader sometimes, if the freight vers of this country really know the position in which the internal railroad law under its last amendment piaces them. A Chicago judge rules that the anarchist and the commumist can meet together and can publicly talikc murder, arson, treason (ad libitum), and it is their legal right under the constitution of the United States to do so; but the congress of the United States passes a law that makes it a crime punishable by fine aud imprisonment_for u shipper to even solicit a lower rate of freight than the tariff, no matter how large a block he may have to offer aud how much cheaper, proportion. ately, the road counld afford to do it than they et for a smaller quantity. For years ship- pers have beea in the habit of figuring on their freights us they have figured on their other business. If it is a crime now, why nas it not been a crime through all these years? The fact is, the law a disgrace to our records, and the nawes of the men who have passed it, ought to be branded with infamy forever. I is fast getting to a pownt in this couutry where the only man who has a right to even live is the paupor. or the red shirted shirker of the corner gro- cery who does all his business in front of the bar, or the walking delegate who does his best to keep the honest working man from rning his honest wages, but because this man controls a few more funds than a wan who attends purely and simply to his busi- ness, their opinion and their influences carry far more weight with the politician than the business man’s or the munufa turer. A man nowadays has only to have money and brains to be made a target for the malicious shafts of the pot-house brawler, the cheap newspaper, and the still cheaper politician. The rich man is guilty of every crime in the calendar, and the pau- per is the only suint, We say this with no disrespect for the hard-working poor man, We have been one ourselves for a lifetin but we do say that the men who hav this nation to the tront rank among of the world are the successful men, whether manufacturer, merchant, professional man or farmer. They spring from the ranks, one and all, and their intcrests are a thousand times more worthy of consideration by tho legislator or the people than those of the men they left in the ditches bebind them, for the continued success of the pros) menas the prosperity of the nation. “He may have good cause for grievance in common with other large sbippers, but on the other hand managers of railroads say, that notwithstanding the protection that bill affords th as they have interoroted it, or caused 1L to be intorpreted by the commis- sion, that thoy are losing money and so aro reducing expenses, and there is no doubt but what the roads in this section of the country are reducing expenses with a vengeance. Dischurges of employes and cancellation of contracts under instructions from New York and Boston are the order of the day, and the city trade is kickiug vigorcusly over the re- suits apparent in dull collections and the lessened sales, always attendant upon a re- duction of expenses by large employers. A sensational story to the effect that the sugar trust had gone to pieces was started in New York a few days ago, but the present state of things would hardly warrant any credit to thiy story. Prices are strong and rapidly advancing, and buyers, who fully appreciate the situation, are laying m sup- plies for future roquirements. ‘I'his is occa- sioned by the entirely unprecedeuted state of the raw sugur stock in the hands of tho importers and agents in this county. It is now ouly about 14,000 tons, against 110,000 tons at the corresponding period last year Very large sales have been made in Ne York, as well as m Fngland, and it is sal that the sugar trust was the principal pur- chaser in most instances, ‘Che advance iu sugar, says a good autnor- ity, began in Cuba; the banlks advanced wore heavily than usual, and the vlanters got more for their crops. ' Thence the oxcite- ment spread to London, whero it now cen- ters, and from that point has spread over the world. Rofiued sugar has not advanced pro- portionately with the raw material, as there is now a margin of but 1lyc botween raw and vefined, instead of 14c, us a year ago, The trust is reported by outsiders to be caught in a corner. Sugar men, however, assert, and with emphasis, that the trust has lurger stock than a year ago, Of unless tho cornering of sugurs were dore by foreigi ers who should refuse to soll mnterial to Awmerican refiners, it makes little difference to the trust what tho cost of material is if tbey araaliowed to maintain the price of refined sugar at the corrosponding higher level. The beet sugar crop was' abcut the same as last year's, Beot sugar futures are sold m London ns are grain or cotton future here, ana the spoculution and rapid riso in theso has stimulated the market, horo is suid to bo hitile doubt that the continental banks, actiug for parties unknown, but be- lieved to be Euglishmen, are attempting, and with some success, to corner the market. Lio coffee remains firm on tho poor crop rrnsp but buyers are slow and salos are light, e Rio Nows has been unable to obtuin any delinite estimate as to what the dnmage of the vext crop has been, but says 1L appears pretty sufe to declare that it will be next o wpossible 1o export 4,500,000 bags dnring the present crop from 1tio.

About evorything of that description was picked up by the buyers in the morning. The prices paid ranged from $1.75 to $3.25 for cows, but £2.65@3.00 bought the most of them. There was some little trading in feeders and stockers, but the offerings were limited. A bunch of pretty fair little stock ers sold at $2.90 and some very choice feeders at $3.20, It requires something extra, how- ever, to bring the latter price, Hogs. Light reccints encouraged salesmen to ask more for their holdings and they succeeded readily in obtaining an advance of bo. The trade n the light and heavy weights was active and they sold_early, the best going at $1.50.

L% Wheat Openis at a Sharp Recovery Over Westerday's Close. CORN WEAK AND DECLINING. Oats Unsditfed Within a Slightly Lower Range—Provisions Olose Weaki-Cattle No Good— Hog Demand Fair. 14y I CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cntoaco, April 27 .—[Special ‘Telegram to Tue Bee.]—The wheat market had a firm opening ata sharp recovery from yes- terday's forced low closing. The initial uotations wore 80'¢e for May, Slije for June and 79%c for July, a gain of K@i§c over night. Private cables were rather bot- ter and foreigners no longer protend in- difference to American prices, The old world finds its supplies running danger- ously low with a gap of several months be- tween now and the period of supplies from the next mew crop, and it is reaching out for wheat though reluctant to moat the ad- vancing views of the holders. New York reports foreign orders there for liberal quau- tities of wheat with the limits 1{@1c below the current quotations. The foreigners want property, but they want to get it on breaks and not on rallics, They are buyers not boomers. Another bit of foreign news was the dispaten to George Smith that Indian orders are being cancelled by shippers on account of inability to got grain to ship. This, on top of the fact that wheat usually forthcoming at this season of the year. from Chili, Avgentine ropublic and Australia is not arriving, and is not likely to arrive, may account for the hardening English and Con- tinental markets. Domestic news was not aitogother deficient in interest. Dispatches from Minneapolis and other points in the northwest chronicle violent wind and sand storms in Dakota, which are represented to be uncovering vast wheat flelds. A cynic ‘inquires if wheat that was being blown out of the ground was froasted wheat that wouldn't grow or good wheat. His unkind conundrum remains unanswered. Lack of moisture is being reported from scores of points in both the winter and spring wheat districts, and the latest summariza- tion of the late ram fall devel- ops the fact that it wns more spotted than general. This drouth talk 1s probably exciting scalpers more than it is tho farmers, but some alarm 1s felt in both classes. The cash wheat market begins to show signs of considerable activity. The interior millers aro buying litule lots_right along, and shippers report more or less business for through shipment, though scarcity of desirable vessel room 'prevents immediate movem Irwin Green worked 25,000 bushels to-day in one lot, and _another firm 16,000 bushels for New York. Altogother lake charters were made for 50,000 bushels, The visible supply is expected to show a ro- duction of 800,000 to 1,000,000 bushels, New York alone> decreasing 400,000. Dunham's Minneapolis corfespondent advises him that northwesterh cauntry eclevator stock will be 8,700,000 bushels on May nst 5,200,000 bushels April 1. The foregoing embraces about all the'outstde news points of the day. TLocally the tarker was steady and neither very active nor interesting. Ream and some otner local lobgs, among the professionals sold out considerable lines of wheat bought around the boitom, and George Smith and other heavy shorts covered and began talk- ing the other. way. Hutchinson did nothing either way to atbractnotice. New York was queted as being a-free seller of wheat 1 this market, but its own market holds up well. May wheat in Chicago sold up from 80!5c at the opening 10 818{c and off to Slc, closing at 80c. June advanced to S2lc, sold off to 81}¢c and closed.at 813¢c. July sold at 7915c early, advancdd strongly to 793¢, worked down under pressure to 783(@79¢, rallied to 3¢, back to 783 and closed at T0lgc. The market was on the quiet order most of the session as compared with yesterday. ‘The closing range marks au improvement of about 5o, ‘The corn market; opened with a feeling of wealtness, which increased later in the day on the free offeriugs for which the shorts appeared to be the only purchasers. The foreign market maintained a firm front in the face of the weakness here, and the other domestic markets were less weak than Chi- cago. New Orleans reported exports of 40,000 bushels to Liverpool and 41,000 oushels to Hamburg, while in New York to-day 26 boat loads were reported taken for export. The heavy receipts here and the promise of their continuing and, perbaps, augmenting, together with the desire on the part of the holders of May contracts to be free from tho responsibility of carrying grain are the chief causes of the prevailing weakness, aided, of course, by the very favorable condi- tions 'under which ‘the uext crop is likely to go into the ground.

The weakness of st night's close was carried over, however, and first prices were still lower, the loss reaching only to iy (@’ under last night. During the hour there was a little activity in Union Pacifio, Atchison and Reading. All the other stocks were dull and neglocted, and the market acted as if the holidays were already here.

All stocks in whioh there was any business advanced under the lead of Louis ville & Nashville, which moved up nearly 1 per cent.

INTEREST RATES NO LOWER. The Eapected Large Demand kor Oall Loans From Grain and Provision Operators Failed to Ma- terialize. The World of Traffic. Cricaao, April 27.—(Special Telegram to Tk Bee,]—The near approach of the 1st of May was expected to bring a large domand for call loans from grain and provision op- erators 8who, it was supposed, woula want funds to pay for property expected to be de livered to them. Such has not, however, been the case and easy feeling noted in fi- nanoial eirclos for some time past has rathor increased. Interest rates, however, have not declined and 5 per cent is still the inside for the majority of the call loans, but on special occasions whero exceptional rity is tondered 4l¢ per cent has been accopted. Merchants and manufacturers are requiring funds with which to meet maturing obliga tions and made about their usual requests and were accommodated at 6@7 per cent. Deposits have decreased moderately, but bankers still have @ very liberal supply of idle funds for which they desire employ ment, and there is little prospect of any im- provement in interest rates in the near future. Calls from the interior for loans were fair, but the western movement was not of suMcient magnitude to attract special attention, At the east and in London lazi- ness continues to be the leading feature of the loan market, but interest rates are no lower. New York exchange was quiet and slow and sold at par to 40¢ and closed at the outside. Foreign exchunge developed a weaker tone and rates declined early, owing to the increased offerings, but later became steadier. Sixty day documentary sterlin bills on London sold at $1.85!,@4.86, and closed at #4.858{, Tho distribution of goods by mercantile jobbers and manufacturers continues on o fairly liberal scale. The iron trade shows idences of improving, Sugars and coffees are firm, with comparatively small stocks of the first named article. Cotton goods are also firmer, Business on the New York Stock exchange was interrupted by the Baster holidays in London and Boston which restricted opera- tions in those cities early in the week and at the same time gave traders a forotaste of what is to come next week when exchange in New York will be closed Monday and Tuesday. The trading was almost entirely professional and confined to specialties, to the detriment of business in many stocks that are always considered on tho active list. The distrustful feeling that ha been 80 marked for months was apvarent early in the decline of 4 per cent on Hocking Valley and 11 per cent on Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & Indi- anapolis, due'to infiuences entirley separate from the other properties. Gas trusts sold Off 1 per cent on free roalizing, but reacted and part of the loss was regained. Late in the week a firmer feeling developed and the market slowly hardened. London showed more strength and was a good buyer of Louisville & Nashville and Union Pacific, the purchase of the latter being a_surprise, as the statement showed that it had failed to rn a dividend lust year, and the report for March showed the net earnings had de- creased $961,000. Boston bought New Eng- land quite freely. The shorts aiso mani- fested a disposition to cover and wait devel- opments, and fair advances were recorded toward the close. Coal stocks were neglected most of the time. The business of the coal roads was not up to ex- pectations, and operators who are generally bullish on these properties are mow the re- verse. Earnings are fair, but the prospects for large gaius in the near future for tho westorn roads are not particularly encour- aging. Bonds were more animated and gen- erally better. The saies of stock for the week were 1,170,146 shares. There was considerable interest mani- fested in the produce markets during the past week, and trading was quite active both in the specuhative and shipving branches. ‘The undertone to the leading markets indi cated considerable weakness, and prices averaged lower. In grain tho good outlook for the growing crops and the favorable ‘weather in most sections of the wost encou aged free selling for future delivery, especi- ally of wheat, and as lower prices were a cepted for that article the prices of the other cereals sympathized to some extent. The advices, oo, in regard to the foreign crops appeared to favor good crops, and this was regarded as an clement of weakness. However it was apparent in ali _the markets ihat traciog was less confined to the local operators, that outside parties undoubtedly had more confidence in the course of the market and were inclined to trade, What was true of the speculative markets was equally as applicable to the shipping branch of the trade. Rather liberal quantities of grain were moved eastward by luke, and there was considerable inquiry for small lots to meet the demands of the nterior trade. The foreign markets exhibited con- sidorable weakness and lower prices were quoted. The export movement continues moderate of flour and wheat, but quite lib- eral of corn and provisions. The receipts of grain at the smaller interior points were light and the arrivals at the larger markets were moderately frce, though forwarded chiefly from interior elevators for delivery on maturing contracts, The feeling in provisions was inclined to easinoss, and lower prices were submitted to on all speculative descriptions, The reteipts of live stock were moderatoly froe at the prin- cipal western markets, and prices again fav- ored the buyers. Hogs were in somewhat larger supply than generally eoxpected. The packing of the west for the week showed a slight increaso, but the veturns for the season show a moderate increase com- pared with the returas of the last season, The movement of provisions was liberal and l’m\inly of producte previously contrzoted or, JUST A MINUTE, News of The Saturday Evening Bee Boiled Down.
