Money s Easy—Real Estate Shows Animation and the General Outs took is Encouraging—Cols lections Good. More Money Than for Years. Money continues very easy, and bankers report large loanable surplus on hand. Money has not been so pleutiful before in woars and all legitimate demands are readily met. Prime morcantile paper is quoted at 7 to 8 per cent. Exchange is dull at 85¢ to $1.00 per thousand. The woek's clearing were £3,710,123.88-a decrease of 2 7-10 por cent. Balances, $534,308.10. Genoral trade con- tinues very fair. There is a liboral stream of mail orders and ealesmen on tho road are sat- isfled with the results obtained. Collections are fair to middling, but upon the whole there is put little complaint heard in this respect. Prices are steady for most staples, though sugars show signs of - weaknoss, while cof- fees are firmer. Flour is quiet and shippers show a disinclination to meet holders’ views. White load, turpentine and linsced oils are being manipulated. The white lead combi- nation has its ofMices with the Standard Oil people, and it is understood that white lead, zine and turpentine will be taken care of this scason, and that consumers will settle the bills, The present policy is to reduce prices, freeze out the smaller factories and doalers, and, this accomplished, recoup all losses and make handsome profits by a forced rise in prices. It is said turpentine will be put at 82 and white lead to 2c if necessury to give the combination complete future control of the markets. The fight between New York and Chicago dry goods jobbers on staples is about over and retailers and consumers alone are financially benefitted to date, though the Chicago men say the; have downed New York, and that that city must, in the future, play second fiddle to Chicago in her territory. City trade is only fair, and considerable complaint has been heard as to the dullness prevailing, owing, in a great measure it is claimed, to the cool weather till within the past few days. Collections in the city are very good in most lines, ana_when the host of artisans are to carry out the plans of ar- chitects, builders, street railway corpora- tious, and the city and county works are employed, trade will doubtles experience a boom which will be thoroughly appreciated by jobbers and retailers alike. Hoal estato has shown much animation during the past week, and many inquiries are received by agents and through bankers aud the mercantile agencics as to the advis- ability of investing the enormous surplus, which 18 accumulating in the hands of east- ern capitalists and seeking profitable invest- ment. A very heavy deal is on the tapis, which, if consummated, will place a large n the market subdivided into lots | tracts, and probably open a new resi » district and place it and adjoining property in closer communication with the business district by the building of a road operated by a quick motor with regular and sufticient service for suburban passenger trafiic. The produce markets have been very liberally suppiiecd by home and southern growers. Iteceipts of, butter have been heavy, and the market is dull and weak. In cheese, the market is quiet and the demand light. Egg receipts are moderate and prices firm,” Poultry is in good demand, with light receipts, and ‘vrices are steady. California fruits are beginning to come in, and an abundant crop of cherrics, peaches, apricots, ete., isripening. - Strawberries have been in heavy supply, and prices ‘are off.- New vegetable: plentiful, and in good demand at fair pric Mr. Armsby, of Chicago, voices the senti- ment of all mtelligent people on the dressed meat inspection question, us follows: “We are glad to see that the Missouri legislature has had sense and honesty enough to put a quictus on the dressed meat law, and Kan- sas City can still sell her dressed meat in the stato where she buys it. This spocial logis- Iature craze is fast nssuming & phase as ridiculous as it is dangerous. Some of our states hsve just passed luws that are more worthy to have emanated from a lunatic asylum than from a body of law-makers. Now - a - da, a legis- lature gets together and passes laws to gov- ern railroad tariffs, manufucturers and mer- chants alike, und in nine cs out of ten there is not a man in the whole outit that ever owned a share of stock, manufactured an article, or that knows any more about passing a law that would benefit the honest merchant or punish the dishonest one than an old gander kuows about singing the Te Deuw. Our whole system of politics is get- ting awry, and the main trouble is that the indicements offered to enter the political arena are not such as any honest business wan of average ability can afford to accopt. Salaries were established years ago, when money was scarce, salarics were low, and expenses were small; in the meantimo expenses have more than trebled, outside of politics have advanced with ex- penses, and there Is not an employer of any note in the land that does not pay his men of ability more thun the governor of the state he lives in gets, often three times ns much, and balf of the porters and second rate clerks got a larger salary than a member of tho legisiature. No business wan of ability can afford to take any political posi- tion, and the consequence is that the state and national affaivs are managed by a class of men that, outside of politics, would have hard work to get a position as’ sexton in soecond rate church. Take it home, Think of a private business munaged by such . sot of yuboos as fill our legislative halls, our city offices, our cousulates abroad. Where would it land - Echo answers, “in the soup.” And yet there is not & paper in the land that dares advocate the advancement of govern- ment salaries to a point where good, efficient men could be hired. We want, one and all of us, in the next presidential campaign to advocate the policy of running a business man's ticket.” The sugar refiners hold large stocks of raw--80me 43,000 tons—and have been com- pelled to put the price of refined down b @ igc becauso of continued light buying, and are out of the warket for raw. Tho entire tomper, therefore, shows a radical change. The stock of sugar at four ports of the United Kingdom Tuesday wus only 157,000 tons, however, against 236,000 tons at the same time last your. ‘The development of the trade in. canned 0ods is somothing wonderful. A price list rinued by a large grocery house shows an ageregate of nearly 350 different canned fish, meats, vegotavles and - fruits, Thoso supplies come from _ almost every part of the United States and the West Indies. They are put up in the bost and freshest condition atthe place of production is seusons of plenty, and con- sequently furnish tho fresher and more wholesome articles of food than similar but uncanned products, after having been car- ried for miles and exposed for hours in shops or perambulating pedlers’ wagons, The price is ulso such that what were once luxur- s ouly attainable by the rich and extrava. gant are now within reach of the poorest. 1 wpty cuns are gathered up and melted iuto solder. A Milwaukee commission house has re- ceived 450 roports from the five spring wheat states. In auswer to the question **What 1s ie the stand 1" 258 say good, 144 fair, and & poor. the ground wot or dry!"” was an swered with “wet" by 81, and “dry" by 560, "Phe stock of cheese in New York May 1 was 20,511 boxes, ainst 10,106 boxes the same date last ) ear, The stock of butter was reported at 20,425 pkgs, against 5,85 pkgs Mmay 1, 1588.

The Ciocionatl Price Current reports the oking of tho west last week at 190,000 0Ks, against 170,000 for the corresponding week in 1888, The uggregate packing since March 1 is estimated at 1,740,000 hogs, against 1,505,000 for the correspobiding time last yoar. Coffee is firm and unchanged. The latest Rio News received says that the position of coffeo is such that consumption must be re- duced, the supply is so small. Itsays: “As the end of the crop year approaches wmore nearly it appears evideat accepting 5,000,000 bags s a fair ostimate for the 1888 B9 crop, we shall carry over o considerable alaries quantity from this crop to fill up holes ia the 1589-00 supply In 1870 the gold coin inthe United States tronsury and in circulation amounted £181,200,000, as against $607,600,000 in 1880, The total money circulation of the country increased in the moantime from $832,000,000 to #1,406,000,000.

May 11, 1880, It was the old story over again—tidy little cattle wero in demand and sold at steady prices, whila heavy cattle were slow and lov 'he quality of the cattlo was good, and the salos mads a very good showing. The beef und shipping steers sold_at £3,431¢ (@4.00, but mostly at £, 85, There is no change regarding the market for butchers’ stock. Desirable cows and heifers are in demand at steady prices. Cows sold ab $2.25 @3.25, nud bulls at $2.0022.85. A fow stock- and feeders changed hands at formor prices. One bunch of yearlings brought , and some feeders $3.15 and §3:80. Hogs. Under the influeuco of the heaviest re- ceipts since March 13, and lower markets at some othier points, the trade here dropped off 5o. Although the roceipts have been increas- ing, tho demand has more than kept vace, and ‘to-day’s supply, though liberal, was none too lurge. In adaition to a good' local demand, there were also liberal shipping orders. ' Quite few light hogs were sorted up for Indianapolis, and Boston was @ froo buyer of heavy hogs. A good load of heavy hogs sold as high as $4.45, and some choico light at 84,481, The market closed firm at the decline, with the hogs all sold shortly after the middle of the forenoon.

The city will spend nearly $35,000 in the nex, fow months for the benefit of property owners living upon streets where grading is necessary. An estimate has been made that it will require a quarter of a million of dol- lars to bring the streets in the city limits to the grado established by the city engineer and council. To do this work the council this year has available but a trifle more than $05,000. The work has therefore been dis- tributed over the city, affording relief in lo- calities where relie} from lack of uniform grades is especially desired.

The market, during the last hour and & half may be described as firm at @!¢c rocovery from the hottom quotations. The early weaknoss was felt all along the line of cashand futures, aud in all American markets, and the recovery was equally genoral. What tended to develop a bullish foeling were the clearances from the seaboard for the day in wheat, which were equal to 355,000 bushols; and the estimate for the week of 1,150,000 to 1,250,000 bushels, cleared from four ports. New York parties wired that 310,000 bushels had been inspected out of store there, “‘which could not yet be ac- ocounted for.” The estimates of reduction n New York stocks ranged from 450,000 to 700,000 bushels, and a reduction of 1,110,000 to 1,500,000 bushels in the total visible sup- Agents here report a botter demand, inneapolis people wire that the flour 018 active at firm prices. The weather reports are not, in all cases, re- assuring. A great number of dispatches from the northwest to Dunham represont a decidedly mixed condition of things up there. Some poiuts report rain enough to assure a crop, and others hardly rain enough to lay the dust. Comvlaints from the spring wheat country are sufficiently numerous and em- phatic to justify the belief that they can stand @ heap more moisturo in Da- kota and Minnesota, without detriment to the crops. ‘Joe” McDonald, by long odds, the most conservative crop expert_in Chicago says that under the most favorable conditions it will be impossi: ble to raise a full crop of spring wheat, the ground having been universally too dry to give the plant a proper start, and that it will only be a question whether the average yield will be five bushels or ten bushels per acre. Complaints from the winter wheat sections are getting decidedly numerous and unani- mous. Showers are reported to-day from several points in 11linois, some as far south as Springfield, but the whole Ohio valle; up to last night, scems to have been parched, ‘What to-day and to-morrow will do remains to be secn. ~ The signal service burcau pre- dicts showery and cooler weather. In the speculative field, business was quite active, and the popular sentiment was deci edly bearish. 3ut for the energetic suppo given' the market by a comparativel few strong parties values must have settled still further, as the selling fever was clearly on. Hutchinson proclaims himself & moderate bull under S0¢ for July, and intimates that he might sell above that figure. He says he ‘‘Don’t sce much in wheat” at this writing. July wheat closed Bt T @i od at S4@ and closed at S43¢c; June ranged av S2iy( 831gc, and closed at 83i{c. As compared with yesterday, the closings show a loss of about 115c. Heavy receipts of corn this morning and the raius of the previous evening, caused a weak opening in that market, the first q tation being about 3 @'gc under the closing figures of the previous day. The weakness of the wheat market had also a depressing effect, and prices made a further decline of 3ge before the bottom was touched. There Wwas agood deal of changing of May to more deferred months, which was the principal feature of the trading. There was more activity, but appazently not much in the way of mew business. The outside domestic markets were similar i tone to thatof Chicago, but the foreign markots were quoled firm. The estimated r ceipts for Monday were 515 cars, There was scarcely ahy recuperavive power to the market which was dominated by the consideration of the possible effect of another heavy crop. Prices at the close show a loss, since yesterday, of from to e per bushel, on all the active deliveries. The shipments from the four principal Atlantic porta auring the week were 120,600 bushels, Outs sold lower, as was to be ex The opening was % (@#¢ beneath yestorda clese, due almost solely to copious rains and @ further weakness ensued, the greatest de- cline being 1@1',c. Several operators, who bought liberally yesterday, sold out to-day at a loss and in addition there were reports of considerable short selling. There was little or no demand from recent shorts and the market lacked support throughout, with expectations of heavy receipts for Monday. May sold down to 2%, and_July to 234, after opening at a plimp decline “of #/c, or 233¢c. Deferred deliveries were in moderato favor, with September touching 23¢ or 1ic below yesterday. At tho close, No. 2 oats, to go to store, sold at 227¢@23c. Gradivg was better than yesterday, and withdrawals were increased to 131,000 bushels. The provision trade was somewhat unin- teresting. Cudahy’s name was given on a fow sales of pork, but 1n the general trade there was no development to occasion com- ment, save that a quiet feeling 15 prevailing, There was evidently a decided indisposition on all sides to branch out, and business fell considerably under the average volume, Prices, however, were inclined to rule easier, and based qn yesterday’s final quotations the losed with pork showing a net decline lard of 3'4@7gc, and short 120, CHICAGO LIVE STOCR MARKET. CuicaGo, May 11.—[Special Telogram to Tuae Bgee|—Carrie.--The market was more active for the closing day of the week than 1s generally reported. Still, heavy cattle, though slow to find an outiet, sol about the values current at yosterday's de- chine, and only one or two loads had to be carried over. Light steers made steady to strong prices and were early disposed of, Cows and all description of butchering and canning stodk maintained former quotations, a few smooth, well bred, stylish stock and feeding steers were offered, the supply con- sisting principally of thin, coarse and unde- sirable varieties, about 600 head of which were by no meaus attractive to any class of buyers.

Cows, bulls and mixed, bulk, $2.50@2.90, Texas steers, 'he warket ruled generally steady. During the early moruing hours heavy hogs inclined to weakness, but toward the finish the market grew tirmer, and trade ciosed with & good tove and better encouragement to sellers than the outlook predicted at the beginning, Sales were largely at or around $4.6204@4.6724 for packing and shipping grades, ranging from $4.60@4.70. Light- weights, as on yestorday, and, in fact, for some time past, commanded & premium, seli- ing atfrom $.75 to $4.80, principally for such selectious as are sorted for and known as York light, New Yonk, May 11.—[Speciul Telegram to Tux BEg. |—S10cks—Two hours' trading in stocks, to-day, did not result in any very material chaoges in the list. When there was any activity, about 90 per cent of the business was in three stocks, Richmond Terminal, Atchison, and Oregon Trauscon- tinontal. The first-uamed stock reacted quite well from the decline, caused by the new issue of stocks, and at the close was at 253¢, or §fver cent better for the day.

GOOD PAPER EASY TO DISCOUNT, Trade Aotive In the East and Stocka Gonerally Lower In Wall Steoot ~Movements of Grain and Other Produoe. Omieaco. May 11.——|Special Telogram to Tne Bee.]—The only new feature in the monetary situation is the increasing quietuda in all directions, Bankers say there is ho pronounced demand for funds from any source, and the volume of papor, made by represontatives of nearly all classoa of mer- chants who usually borrow large lines; and ospecially tradors in grain and provisions, is steadily lessening. Stocks hero and atothor points of accumulation are constantly fle- croasing, honce the Chicago bankors arg not called upon for funds with which to oarry them. The morcantile and manufacturing intercsts ave only moderato borrowers and tho samo is true of the lumber and miscolla. neous branches of trade. The aggrogate is not sufticient to absorb the rgceipts from the maturmg obligations, - and rates are casy to desirablo borrowers at 4 @5 per cent, on call and thirty-day loans backed by convertible collateralsy and 5l@71¢ per cent for good business ' names. Dospite large foroign exports of gold, mondy at the east is in good supply and call loaus in Now York are quoted at 2@3 per cont for bond and stock collaterals. Cholee time paper also finds roady demand at easy rates, and prospects favor u dull, easy, loan mar- ket until the close of the summer. Tho gen- oral impression is that the channels for the employment of money will continue narrow untit the closo of the small grain harvest. Now York exchango was slow and sold at 50@70¢ premium per $1,000, and closed at Goo. oroign exchange sold fairly, and rates re- mained firm most of the woek at about ship- ping basis. The offerings were moderate, but towards the close became easy and prices dechined slightly. Documentary ster- ling bills on London sold at $4.80@4.871¢, and closed at §4.86. The mercantile trade was fairly active. Thg demand for light summer dey goods is stimulated by hot weathor, and sales showed an merease. Coffoes and sugars met with good inquiry and a_flrmer foeling prevailed. Other goods were distributed more freely to consuniers at unchangad vrices. The New York stock market was quito ac- tive, especiully during the ecarly part of tho weelt, but ‘in the latter ~part - busi- ness ' commenced to dwindle. Foroigners bought liberally and gave the market u firmer tove. Boston and the west also ' had good buying orders on the market, - the former taking Atobison and the latter the granger stocks, while ‘professionals” bought tho general list. Fair advances were' re- corded, Atchison boing the leader and gaitied 3 points, The report of that company. for 1888 showed that the net earnings had de- creased 15.4 per cent, and for the Arst quar- ter of this year the net earnings wera only §1,124,109, leaving $0,794,33 to be earned in the remaining chree quarc to bring the earnings up to tho filed churges. The worst about this company is now known, and with good crops its friends expect that it will come out in the end. The publication of the report caused free general solling, and ol the early advance wus lost. St Paul developod considerable strength -und advanced tairly, Thero is a movement on foot to reduce its intercst charges $1,000,000 aunually, by chauging its bonds into ds. Northern Paaific and Orégons were active and firmer. The dccline in London towards the close, and an increused disposi- tion on the part of early buyers - to 'secure profits, caused u week feeling, the entirg list s0ld off and about all the early gains were lost. Pullman was in the lead and aecNued 4 points. The fecling was bearish, and opera- tors are disposed o go slow for the prekent. Railrond earnings are good, and aro likely to continue favorable, unless the growing crops are materially damaged. 'The aggregate sales for the week were 9,181,207 shures, The leading produco markets attracted considerable spooulative attontion during the past week, and trading in u general way was quite active. Prices for all ioading arti- cles showed a material advauce, and the ap- preciation was moderately well supported. The dry weather had ‘some effect ontho grain markots early in tho week, which was counteracted, to some extent, by raiusin some sections within the past’ two or threo days. More rain, however, 18 gencrally uoeded, especially through the central pors tion of 'the west, in order to assure good crops of small grains, Farmers ave through with the bulk of their spring work, and are forwarding _ grain - and live stock more froely, and elevators of small stations, and provision warchouses at interior points, are haying their supplies reduced by a movenientto cetitral markets. The movemont of gfain from lake ports was quite liboral, Exports of flour and wh were fair, and large of corn und provisions, Considerable prop- erty, both of grain and provisions, ipted on May contracts, was forwarded to consuin- ing warkets. Aavices from abroad were generally favorable to the growing cropg, slight damago being reportod in some soc- tions, The tone of the foreign markets indi- cated more steadiness in that quarter, and higher priges were auoted for most descrip- tious. In provisions the feeling was stronger, due largely to the demands from the *“short'? interest. Hogs were in botter supply at the leading packing centors and the price for ool quality is well maintain The pacik- ing of the west showed an increase during the woek, compared with the returns of last year, and the aggregate packing since March 1 is’ considerably larger.
