A HEAVY SURPLUS IN BANKS, General Trade Good in Most All Lines of Business—A Healthy Increase Noted 1o the Amount of Clearings. The Local The money market and, as the bank stat show, there is a heavy of the Omaha national logal reserve. Prime mercantile paper is readily taken at 7@8 per cent per annum Fxchange is scarce and in demand at §1 per thousand preminm, Gieneral trade continues wood in most lines. Boot and shoe dealers are complaining more than others, Collections are very fair, and the state is cvidently gatting into excellent condition financwlly. City trade has im- proved materially during the past week, eud as labor finds employment, retailers will on- joy a brisk season undoubtedly. Real estate shows increasing activity, and when the pur- chases, contemplated by the United States government, of sites for the custom house and postofice and for Fort Omaha are made, a boom may be confldently looked for, The bank clearings for the woek, as roported by Mr. Hughes, manager of the clearing house, were $4,138,641.23, an in- crease of 61-10 per cent. Balances were $004,007.52. Money is more plentiful spring than for any corresponding period in yoears past. Discounts in _the open market, three months’ bills, are now quoted at th rate of 1 per cent. The conversion of the old 8 per cents into the new i¢ per cent con 8018 is said to be a great succe There is an offering of 1,000 crop Brazil coffee on the understood to be seeking bids at 167 cost. and freight terms. ‘The price of fair 10 prime coffee of the last crop in the Chicago murket is about 19@20c per pound. During the last ten years prices for the same quality have ranged from ¢ in 1885 to 18¢ in The present high price is due to shortness in the Brazilian crop, which is expected to be fully one-hulf less than the usual supply. The United States consumes about 4,000,000 bags of coffee e car, which is a little less than one-half of the world’s consumption. Prominent Chicugo tea men say that the Amoy Oolong tea spoken of by Consul Crowall as the poorestand most injurious tea shipped from China, is simply a low grade of Oolong, and 18 used largely for mixing purposes, and while iv_is colored to a certain extent, there is not suficient cdloring matter t render it unhealthy. Very little of the Amoy Oolong tea finds its way to Chicago. There 18 a curious superstition among fishermen that ouly once in seven years will the mackerel catch be abundant, and there are many who positively assert that as this is un uniucky year, a poor catch will be in order. Whichever it may be, one thing is certain, but few signs of mackerel have been seen as yet. Rio coffee continues to rule rather firm, but with a visible supply in Atlantic ports amountin compared with only a 258,22 ¥ ago. buyers are slow in purchasing exc for current requirements, There are good suny on Iio, and Santos holds 230,000 bags. The Rio News says: “There is a good deal of reticence in modifying estimates of the coming crop.” The Cafe dns Aguas is alluded to, but an out-and-out opinion as to whether 2,000,000 bags is too much for the 1850-90 crop Is not obtainable. At the same time there is no reason to doubt that much lower estimates have been telegraphed to consuming warkets, Sugar is booming under short supphes, It the cane-producing countries in America and India had turned out their usual quota, @ notable appreciation in the value of the staple might, perhaps, have been avoided, but it 80 chanced that the September cyclone in Cuba curtailed that crop 200,000 tons, that Brazil had a shortage of 90,000 tons, and that the small West India islands were backward and also produced less, IN. Minn., May 15.-- The North- western Miller to-ddy says: ‘*Although there were fifteen mills which ran tw a greater or less extent last week, the tiour output fell under the 100, 000 mark. The aggregate production for the woek was ©4,070° barrels, averaging 15,678 barrels daily, against 88,220 barrels the previous week, and 174 barrels for the correspondini time in 1888, Fifteen mills are in operution again to-day and indications point to quite a gain in the output for the week. Most of the mills got some orders ahead last week and although the demana is light now they are grinding stronger to fill ther. A very fair call for flour was enjoyed up to Saturday, but local miliers at that time became a little firmer in their views, and jobbers having temporarily supplied their most pressing necds, there has been o ation again in the demand. There area tirms tnat report nearly as good u trade, but the majority say that there has been a ma- terial falling off in sales since Monday. “Nearly fifty thousand barrelsof flour, mostly patent, wore withdrawn from 'storo at Duluth during last week, leaving 156,000 iu store there Saturday. Considerable held in store here 18 also being shipped. The di- rect exports of flour for the week w 85,- 000 barrels, against 40,5000 barrels the pre- ceeding week.

The Very Lively Experience of a Hun- ter Who Was After Coons, Charles Reilley, a veteran hunter living on the border of Sussex county, yestordny had a desperate encounter iti three bears, in which he came off victor, and now has over eight hundred pounds of bear meat, says a Newton, N. J., special to the New York Times. heurd his dogs barking in what is known as Townsend swamp on Tues- day night, and yesterday morning, thinking he had” treed a coon, he started out armed only with an axe, He came, however, upon a large black bear :]rim two cubs at her side, watching the og. Reilley at once attempted to retreat, but the old bear gave chase. He slipped behind a tree when she made a rush, but. missed him. The bear then rose on her hind legs and attempted to hug the hunter, but a well directed blow with the axe cut a vein in her neck and stopped her for a moment. She ro- turned to the charge, but another blow disabled her. The two cubs then came to the mother’s rescae, and attacked Reilley in the rear. They soon bore him to the ground and were fast over- powering him, when the dogs joined in, the two bears turning to attack their new enemies. Reilley, recovering the axe, gave the two cubs their quietus. He was covered with blood and scratches, while two of his dogs were killed.

Crteaco, May 18.—[Special ‘Telogram to Tnr Bei Seutiment, influence and con- aitions were bearish to-day, yet the price of wheat suffered very little change. The market was ineffectual in the production of sensations of any Cescription, and operators did not seem to have decided convictions. Outside of @& group of chronio bears, the majority of the middle- weight “old stagers” of the wheat pitare “scoring for an advance.” Every time the market pauses after a decline they “mip in,” but on the first symptoms of re newed depression they run. They want to have some wheat when the market starts up, but they do not propose to stand a loss, The immediate influence of such operations is therefore bearish. coring for a rise gives no genuine support to the market unless tho outside conditions conspire to force & con- tinuod advance. When the doubling up pro- cess begins, however, the market gains in- creasing momentum. The blackboard re- corded a clearing of 101,000 bushels of wheat to-day and 72,000 bushels additional are being loaded out to-day. The sale of 50,000 bush- les besides on a basis of 2¢c premium over June was reported, and considerable small business for account of interior millers was done. Local stocks will show quite a reduction in the week, and estimates of a do- crease in the visible supply range from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 bushels. The best au- thorities fix on 1,250,000 as about the proper ports for the week from the four principal Atlantic seaports foot up 714,000 bushels of wheat 230,000 packages, of flour. This will make a grand total of about 1,600,000 Dbushels, or more than auy week in many months. Facts con- cerning the movement of and changes in actual property were generally bullish, but us regards the magnificent crop prospects they exerted at the most only a passive re- sistance, which was sufficient, however, to prevent a further shrinkage in values. Con- trary to expectations, the receipt at primary points showed very little increase this week over last and shipments are about the same. Arrivals at Miuneapolis are large, but only a small proportion represents wheat directly out of farmers’ hands, Drenching rains throughout the central western country w of the Missisippi are reported and crop ad- vices from thénorthwest are for the most part gy favorable. ~ The Ohio vulley difn'4stand more moisture, but the needs , in that _ direction are in a fair way to be satisfied. 1t continues to rain in California aud this is not good for heat av its’ present stage of development. e local range wus very narrow to-da; July, the. favaritc month, opened at 77l5c, sold down te 76¥{c, and for the most part clung within ¢ of 77e. The scalpers de- scribed it as &™‘stingy market. here was nothing in_it for them. Operations were on a restricted scale. Hutchinson was a seller above 77c¢ and a buyer below. New York sent bearish news and sold wheat steadily and o | moderate quantities. Export business 12 the amount of 13 boutloads was exported, howover. The undertone to the local murket was unques- tionably firm. -On the surface things look bearish; but thére has been substantial buy- ing by comuligsion houses for the past two or three days. The feeling scems to bo changing and wheat is gaining friends among the conservatives, wno feel thut the crop prospects have been discounted too liberally. The market took on an appoar- ance of increased activity toward the close. July left off at 77li@iTigc, or identically where it did yesterday. May opened at 821c and closed at 832! June started at 80>{ and left off at 81c, selling in the meantime at S0lge. September closed at Tdige. The whoie list rested on the same plane as yes- terda; Heavy receipts of corn, as shown by the insnection returns, caused a weakening. The weakness was also helped by the magoificent weather which is now favoring the recently planted grain, and was _intensified when the estimated receipts of & s for Monday be- me known, The cables r rred dull mar- kots abroad, and all the governing domestic markets were in sympathy with the weak- ness here. The business done was con- siderably in excess of the recent average, and there was a good demand for July, and below 34c. The demand was, however, largely due to the shorts taking the profits, Investment buying appears to be light, and is doubtless discouraged by the recent course of the market. There was a good inquiry and sales of thirteen boat loads at New York for export. ‘The cash market shared in the weakness and doclined in futures, shippers being able to secure concessions of Awige under the prices current yesterday. Spov corn was !¢c lower than it closed on Friday, and the futures showed about the same de cline. Outs were dull and weak to I{c lower on future accoun The receipts were again large and the weakness in corn extended to this markot, which derived no support aside from a mill buying for the account of shorts, Postod withdrawals of 2521 erted but little steadying influence, us heavy arrivals are anticipated for next week.

Short ribs were bought pretty freely by Jones, Kennott & Hoskins, but even of this article the offerings exceeded the demand. In ali departments of the mar- ket values were depressed by the sellers outoumbering the huyers, and as a conseauence & decline was suffered The receding turn witnessed, however, oo- casioned no stir and the day passed with scarcely more than moderate trading and no feature of special interest.

As ex pected, there was further excitement in Orogon Transcontinehtal becauss of the short interost, and a squoezo was the first thing in order.

Those poor, unfortunate individuals who like myself, are reduced to the dire necessity of sending their white shirts 1 the laundry—I believe some one called it the **foundry”—may have ob- served the dilapidated condition in which they generally return, says a writer in the Pittsburg Dispatch. For some time I was wont to send my shirts to the steam laundry. They usually came back stiffor than buckram and of alively cerulean tint, strongly sugges- tive of Prussian. Had this been all | could have endured it. But they also cawme back as circumstances miyfil de- termine with the one ivory button wrenched off and the cloth to which it was sewed torn along with it, or else one or both sleeves were dislocated at the shoulder and left hanging by one or 1wo stitches; or else the back of the shirt was split. as a_sailor would say, “*from clew to earing:” or else the wrist- bands or necks wore frayed out in such A 1annner that the stiff, rough edges cut my hands or neck like o saw. All this, be it observed, with shirts new out of the shop, so much for washing by machinery., Disgusted by the above state of affairs, I bethought me of trying the natives of the Celestial empire. I have no prejudice against the Chinese. For a considerable time my shirts came back in a state of tolernble preserva- tion, and I began to imagine that my troubles in this directiou were at an end. Rainbows! too bright to last. Lik all dreams of happiness on earth, [ found this also vain The Chineso I find are becoming eivilized, that is to say they have acquired the eapacity for looking after their own interests to the exclu- sion of thoso of the outside ‘‘barbar- ian.” Civilization to them means su- promo selfishness. This way of looking after their own intorests may be some- what short-sightod, but that is of no consequenc After two or three washings [ found that my shirts beeame so tender that they would tear when the slightest strain was put on them. They were like the Irvishman’s shirt, “tindor as a chickon for as ould’s 'tis.”” How was this? Mirabile dictu—the ineso were actunlly bleaching my shirta with hy- pochlorite of lime, common called chloride of lime! How did I find it out? 1 sent a white handkerchiof strongly marked with silver marking ink. When it returned the mark was obliterated. On examining the spot I found the mark converted into chloride of ilvor. eusily romoved by an appropriato sol ent. The marks on my shirt had disap- peared in a similar wa; The chloride of lime had so weakened the fiber that it had no tensile strength. White shirts ave usually made of cotton, ex- copt the breast and wristband, which are made of very sleazy linen filled up with starch. The cotton is more ousily disintegrated by chloride of lime than the linen. Hence the cotton goes first. Is there no remedy for this state of affairs? Must [ wash my own shicts or employ a washerwoman? Ov must [ got a wife? 1If the latter ease, of courso I shall have to geta cheap one, since [ cannot afford to purchuse au expensivo one. Or perhaps there is some other way out of the difficuluy g G A REMARKABLE DOG. Mr. Harris Sells Him for $0,000 and Buys Him Back. Mr. S. G. Harris, ahorse dealer of Vincennes, Ind., is owner of a won- derful dog. It otch collie, and seems possessed of almost human intelli- the Chicago Nows: Mr. exhibited him to Charley Schwartz and a party of friends in M Schwartz’s private office in the board of trade building Wednesday morning. His porformances—--they seemed to show too much intelligence to be called tricks---amazed everybody. Bank bills and coins of variou denominations were placed on the floor and the dc was requested to take his choice. He immediately picked up a $10 bill, which wus the largest in sight. Which piece would you give me, Boaz?'" asked Mr. Harris. Boz selected a nickel and dropped it into Mr. Harris’ hand. Mr. S. A, Kent same in while the dog was performing and said: **Boz, I want_you to bring me five dollars and a half.” Boz picked up a$5 bill and a 50-cent piece, gave Mr. Kent an I’m-onto-you expression, and trotted over to Mr. Harris with the money. Find Mr. Richardson,” was the next order. Boz trotted up to that gontleman, looked up into his face and wagged his tail. Boz grabbed Mr. Richardson’s hand- kerchief out of his coat pocket and trot- ted off with it. I want $15,” Kent. Boz picked up a $10 and a § “Bring me the rest of it.” Boz and growled. His next perforn were to bring a hat from the window and a piece of paper from the waste basket in the corner, and he also gave an imitation of the way the clown-dog prayed in the cireus which Boz and bis visited last summ At Mr. request that he pray like a good dog, he got up in a chair, put his paws up on the back, und, after putting his head down between his paws,revercatly closed his eve: t down,” d Mr. Harris. Boz did not stir. Mr. Harris tipped the chair over, but Boz took up his position again as soon as the chair was righted. **Ameun,” said Mr. Harris, and Boz jumped down and wagged his tul. Boz showed them how the bad boy winked at the girls in . played bartender by giving back Hairis his corrcet change after the fie- titious purchase of two arinks, und did other equally wonderful tricks. Mr. Schwartz wrote out his check for $6,000, which he gave to Mr. Harris for the do and Mr. Schwartz took the an- nimal home with him Wednesday night. Mr. Harris could not sleep, howeve and he came down to Mv. Schwartz’s office bright and early yesterday morn- ing and offered Mr. Si 'tz $500 if he would trac back. fused the offer, but finally took pity on My, Harris and sent up to the house for the dog. Mr. Harr vis proudly ex- hibiting him in the Grand Pacific hotel y ds noon, and declared that he would gnever part with it again, The dog is five years old and has been Mr is’ constant companion ever since it was three months old.

New York Exchange Exhibits Dull- ness — Favorable Orop Reports From all Sections of the West—Produce Easlor, Criieaeo, May 18- [Speoial Telogram to Tne Bre]—Busivess in noarly all lines shows increasing disquictude and no change of importance can bo looked for in tha ofsa- n @ ninety days. The consequence is that in the absence of employment for funds coms mensurate to the supply it is seoking invest- ment in choice paper or collateral loans. The market for money is oasy to desoribe, Bor- rowers aro accommodated at 4@5 por cent for largo sums on call to sixty days and 5i§ @7 per cent for good mercantile and other papor. o outlook for better rates is unfavorable until tho now crop movement roaches o sufticlent volume to cause a large flow of funds from financial centers to the interior to produce a severe shrinkage in bank reserves. In briof, the indications point to the most quiot summer monoy muarket that has been witnessed among Chicago banks for years. Advices from Atlantio clties indicate a like edndition of affairs there, and within a week loading business houses here have receivod lotters from New York banks offering money at very low rates. Capitalists evidently deem it more desirable to place their funds for the summer at the extreme inside figures, rovided tho security is satisfactory, than to keeping them idle. Mouey on the street has been offered at 8 per cent on choice collaterdl, and in a few instances as low as 2 per cont was accepted. New York exchange was dull, There was plenty of money here, and al- though the rates keep close to a shipping basis, there is no incentive to ordor cur- rency shipped from the cast. Sales ranged 50000 conts premium per £1,000 and closed Foreign exchange remained slow. at $1.86@4.50) for shippors' sixty day documentuary Dills on London, Thero are fow bills making except against corn and provision shipmeuts, and not enough te cause any variation in raf There was @ fair activity among :mercantile houses. Dry goods were distributed liberally, and an - crease was noted in the sales of staplo Rro- ceries, Iron remained quict and steady. This has been a bull weok in Wall street and prices on about every active stock moved upward. The chief foature in trading was tho bull movemoent in ‘“‘grangers. Crop reports from nearly all sections of tho west were very favorable, indicating @ large business for western roads in the future. Chicago oper- ators who have been on the ‘“‘short” side for some time past changed their ideas and bought heavily o cover their shorts and went “long.” Foreigners also bought freely, and, as is usually the ease with spec- ulation in Wall streot, they anticipated the future, and a shary upward turn in prices ' yesulted. hicago, Burlington - & Quiney, Rock 1sland, St. Paul and Atchison were the favorites. Burlington advanced over 4 points, and the apprecintion on others ranged from 2 to 8! points. The re- funding scheme of the St. Paul helped that property somewhat, but the advanco was not as great as on Burlington, There was good realizini by “‘professionals” on advances aud slight recessions resulted, but they were re- gamed. There was good buying of Oregon Transcontinental und it advanced over 8 points. There is a sharp tight going on be- tween the Oregon Navigation . and the Union Pacific for the control - of the Oregon Transcontinental at the coming clection, and it was bought freely, the trading in it being larger than in any" other stock on the list, but prices closed lower than the preceding weck. Oregon Naviga- tion was sold reely towards the close, and it dcclined 6 points. The sale of the Wabash mmittec of hondholders for $15,- 30,000 brought that property to the front and the trading became quite heavy in it, and prices advanced 2 points, Chicago’ Gas trusts were'bought heavily and advanced 4 points, but the free selling of “long" stock caused a fair reaction. Honds were fairly active and fivm, The aggrogate salos on tho New York stock exchange for the week were 1,114,582 snares. Cousiderable interest was manifested in the produce market during the week ‘just closed, and the undertone to the market in- dicated an casier feeling. The prospects for the growing crops are now regavded a8 unus sually favorable, the recent rains and snow storms in most sections of the west and northwest greatly beuefitting small grains. The drouth scare has disappeared and reports from all quarters are very en- couraging. The movement of grain to smaller stations has boen somewhat _enlarged, espec- ially of corn and oats, and supplies” in tho country elevators are bemg gradually re- ducod.” The movement of grain from central western markets has been quite liberal, and distributed to seaboard markots . and throughout the interior. The export movement was modorately free of gorn and provisions and comparatively light of flour and wheat, The grain murkets abroad are somewhat unsettled, with prices inclin- ing in favor of buyers. Crop prospects abroad are generally favorable and mer- chants are not disposed to_enlargo their sup- ulicx beyond prescut wants, Supphes of all inds of grain arc gradually diminishing and cline until the he farniers aro spring work and will probably continuc to " d new crops begin to move, through with their are inclined t sell their surs plus grain and live stock in viow of cncouraging prospects. Tha moye- ment of the latter has besn quite free, es- pecially of cattle and hogs, and shippers wore compelled t accept lower prices. In provisions the feeling was weak, and prices declined materially on all speculative articles, The paciing of the west shows & further substantial enlargement, and the aggregate siuce the oponing of the snmmer scason 18 abo ut 290,000 hogs more than were reported last season up to date. e ' Australian Bushrangers. The bushrangers of ,Australin are now extinet, They were highwaymen whom the love of adventure, quite as much as the desire for gold, allured to the life of outlaws, says the Youth's Companion. A writer in the Fort- mghtly Review describes some of them as gifted with courage and invention worthy of a better calling. A small band of bushrangers in Vie- manufactured for themselves, out of scythes and plows und old iron, com- plete suits of armor. Fach suit was so heavy that Goliath himself might have fuinted under its weight, but on the herculean frame of the bushranger it seemed light, and it served iu Pose. Several of these suits are in oxistepce bearing warks of ineffectual pistol shots. The bushrangers once laid s whole town under contribution. They forced shops and banks to pay liberally for the priviloge of resuming business: Some of them weve ns superstitious as Italinn brigands, who kneel before a wayside cross and ask for much booty and Tittte trouble, Once a bushranger ;irxms his vietim the usual alternative of his money or his life When the victim declingd to “hand over,” the robber knelt down and prayed that it might be put into the traveler’s hourt to give up all that he had. and so n‘uu'n the bushranger the necessity of shooting him. - Apy a4 Recewver.
