THE CONDITION OF TRADE. Money s Hasy and No Change In Demand Rates. ANTICIPATING A BANK FAILURE, The Effect of an Open Winter—The Valnes of Goods in General Oaly Bteady—New Business Com- ing to Omaha. An Increase Noted in Clearings. ‘There bas been no change in the condition ©f the mo ney ninrket Quring the past week Money 1s in good supoly with a fair aemand from city jobbers and manufacturers, and rates rule at about § por cent. The failure of the Bank of Omaha was mnticipated in financial circles. mmonths before it came. The clearings for the week were $4,178,- %2708, an increase of 6§ por cent. 3alances wrere 8645,765.85. Jobbers say that trade is provty quict and nclined to languish, though in some lines there is a fair excess over 1888, and we find Tome wiro hiave done loss this year than last. The ovol, unseasonable weather following the open dry winter necessarily made a lighter demand for articles of wearing ap parel. Boots, shoes, dry goods and clothing dealers find themselves loaded with winter goods and are very chary of purchas- ing more than their needs. Collections are fair to middling, though there is the msual complainton city accounts, mod the city authorities are savagely de- mnounced by retailers for the delay in letling nnd starting oity work that laborers may be employed and momey circuluted. Prices hold steady. Butter is decidedly firmer, and packers have advanced prices 1@ 2¢ per pound for good factory makes, Egus « mre suff at 1@2c per dozen ndvance. Canned goods are duil with very little inquiry for new pack. Sugar is gradually going to 10¢, and costs the jobber here 0lc for granu- duted. Coffces are firm and iuclined to ad- vance. Jo dry goods prints are slightly off, while woolen goods, especially flanpels and blankets, ure booked for an early advance. It is said that the Messrs. May Brothers, ‘the lending grocery honse ontside of Omaha dn Nebraska, are about to locate in this city. They bave a large trade, ample capital, and are first class merchants, Henty Fuhrman s on his way o Europe for a twelve months' visit, und appears to have abandoned the iden of lo- «cating a wholesale dry goods house heve, for the prosent at least, Referring to the stoppage of *~ok quota- tions, the New York 1imes r 1 ar s that it *‘has been reserved vo the eo\era og com- mitteo of the New York stoci .. antge to discover that @ public market is a vrivate club, aud business is increasod by destroying the facilities for doing it.” Coffoe is not. selling very froely, and the upward tendency is checked by the statis- tical showing. There are 620,024 bags of Brazilian coffee at New York, Baltimore and New Orleans and on the way 1o these ports, against only 274,177 bags a year ago, and 233,000 bags were held at Rio de Janeiro, Juve 1.

The June demana s always very large, and promise to rule higher. In regard to the present outlooks a Now York firm writes as follows: “‘The most notable point of the situation is the fact of the decreasing stock in Furope, and the general inquiry of the trade there as to where their future supplies are 0 come from.

Buyers were late in commencing to make their day’s purchasos ana their orders were light. The trade was slow, the buyers, us a xule, bnha: very indifferent. With liberal re- weipts and light orders, the buyers could a! ford to cular, and they were very strongly inclined to discriminate against saything which did nct happen to strike their fancy. It would be safe to call the neral market on bevves 10c lower, al- iough some sales of very desirable cattle ‘would not show thav much off.

The past week has been an active one in real estate circles. A large number of deals bave been made in residence property at a hoalthy advance over holdings of two months ago. The noticeable feature of these deals has been that the purchasers are in almost every case home scekers, and but a very few of the sales made have been to land specula- tors. Thesupply of money in the banks anu loun companies is large, with the ioterest rates decidedly reasonabie, and the real es- tate purchasers are taking udvantage of the oxcellent opportunities for improving their properties. I'ie lnrgest deal of the weok was the pur- r. Fred Ames, of Boston, of the rd property, ou_Farnam stroet, und Morsman property, on Sixteenth stroet, adjoining the Commercial National bank, now in process of erection. Mr. Ames socured this prorerty, 06 feet on Farnam and 53 feet on Sixteenth street, for ¥110,00. Ho will commence at once the erection of a seven-story granite block on the property, with a_front on eacn stroet, for tne use of Omaha's dry goods merchant, Mr. S. P. Morse. Mr. Ames has a vleasing habit of drovping down on Owaba occasion- ally and stirriug up things by investing thousands of dollars in securing bargams that have been lying unnoticed under the eves of resident capitalists, His abidin, fuith in the future greatness of Omaha an s finsncial backing of the said faith has encouraged Omaha capitalists to Lake re- newod ntorest in soveral Amprovement schewes that have been .under consideration for some time, and now give promise of be- in,’ consummated, D 'he first of these, and the one that is at- tracting the most serious comsideration, is the improvement of that part of Cut off island that is owned by tke East Omaha Laud cowpany, the principal mewbers of which are Messrs. l‘urlllll:! Touzalin, Cushing, Holdredge, Kimball, O'Don- ohoe, Yates and Squires. These gen- tlemen have long held that this is the most favorable Omaha for manufacturing sites, and propositions have been made by them that will very likely re- sult in theearly location of » number of en- terprises.

He will not get them, however. Master Will Pixley, of this city, is a com- ing bicyclist. With the strength and exper- 1ence of a few more years he will be able to chase the best of them. Jimmy Lindsay says he is willing to fight Meyers, McAuliffe, or any of thesway-up- pers, at any timo or for any kindof a purse. He argues that if he can best one of these good ums, he can made plenty of the stuff afterwards. ‘Honey Creck Lake, nine miles north of the Bluffs, is .affording excellent piokeral fishing just now. A light rod, twenty feet of line, and a No. 8 spoon is the most effect- ive tackle. The next fight to take place at the Cali- fornia Athletic club will be ome between Jack Dempsey and George LeBlanche, the Murine. The men came together last Satur- day night at the Cliff house. The Marine charged Dempsey with saying Ellingsworth could whip him. Dempsey denied this, but settled LeBlanche’s boasts by offering to ac- commodate him. LeBlunche at once sought the managers of the athletic clubs, and there 18 no question but that the California club will secure the fight. The Californfa club has offered to give a $5,000 prize, but heretofore Dempsey has ignored the Ma- Tine. g The coming battle between champion John L. Sullivan and Jake Killrain is at last being much talked about in local sporting circles. The followers of the two gladiators in Omaha seem to be pretty evenly divided, but there is any nuwber who would rather bet on ‘“no fight” than oo a possible result. The mill is down for July 8, near Mississinpi City, Lou- isiana, and it is quite probable thai it will come Off, as both men at last are in active training snd all arrangements are being expeditionsly arranged.

Burris, a San Francisco law- yer, had a remarkable adventure with a mamac client the other night near the Agnew asylum for chronic insane in Santa Clara valley. The details just came to light to-nay, says a dis- patch to the Globe-Democrat, and show that Burris’ nerye saved not only his own life, but the lives of the physician who accompanied him and the maniac’s wife. Burris went 1o a house near the asylum to see Heury Weibold, whese wife was sueing him for divorce on the grounds of insanity and cruelty. Burris was the woman’s counsel, aud wanted an expert opinion on Weibold’s insan- ity. When he reached the place he found Mrs. Weibold greatly excited. She said she feared violence from her husband, who was in an ugly temper, and had threatened to kill her. Burris weunt in to see him, accompanied by the wile and the doctor, Scarcely had they entered the room when the lunatic, who is & man of huge provortions, said quiet- ly, at the same time producing a pistol: “*Glad you cawme, us 1've got to kilf you all,” At the same time he loyeled his re- volver at Burris, The wife sank into a chair while Dr. Hudden was so over- come with fright that he tainted. Bur- ris coolly proposed that the maniac hear a story before he did the shooting. and the result was ihat the lawyer told one of his best humorous anecdotes. When he ended the lunatic said: “That's n’goud story, but now I've got to kill you.” Again Burris interposed and told a blood-curd]hif; tale of huntin, ele- phants in India, The lunatic became nterested, and demanded fresh stories, which the lawyer continued to furnish until the night was far gone, when the maniac finally fell asleep. Then the three persons escaped from the room, and socuring aid from the asylum au- thorities had vhe madman arrested. B Forty horses, none of them less than sixteen hands high, were shipped from New York to Havre recently, having been purchased by agents of the French government, Don’t be in any hurry about getting your young horses shod, unless it is entirely necessary.

Cnicaco, June 8. —[Special 'elogram to Tux Bee.]—Wheat was active and excited, to-day, and values were well maintaived in | the face of vigorous opposition and aggres- sive bearish tactics. Cables were not en- couraging in their character, rain having fallen in Russia where it was badly needed. New York was firm, early, but broke sharply just before the close of trading hours there, and St. Louis was quoted most of the session as “'sick.” Here the trade was beset by a variety of conflicting crop reports. Bul- letins of rains in the Jim River valley, Da- kota, were received but not confirmed, though the weather map justiied a belief that there might be showers in that soction- The sigual service returns indicated copibus and general ' Tains throughout the southwest winter wheat country, where the harvest is in progress. The wires brougut good buying orders from that section, though St. Louis was bearish and tho northwest seemed to be selling more than it bought. The Minneapolis market was strong, howevor, gauged by the public record of prices. The black boara continues wery bullish. At primary points reoeipts ars @iminishing, and the out movement is very liberal. Export clearanees from the-Atlan- tic ports, for the week, foot up to 065,000 bushels: and in wheat and flour combined, the aggregate is 1,400,000 bushels. Indica- tions point to a decrease of between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000 bushels in the visible supply, which will bring stocks in sight down to nearly 18,000,000 bushels. Cash wheat is everywbere in demand and strongly held. Here June wheat ranged at 7T83@79Mc; ‘while July and December were quoted 13y @ 2!4c cheaper. The opening trades an July ‘were on & basis of 77}{c, with sales as low s Tric. The marketadvanced to 77%c, and eradually worked back to the vicinity of T7c. The tradmg for a couple of hours was within narrow limits, but about noon the price touched 763¢@77c. A few moments aftewards 773%c was the quotation, and presently it was back under 77c. ‘The disposition to roalize was strong, snd many buils could not Tesist the temptation to secure profits, Things have mnot been coming their lately. The closing price of July whest was 763{c; Doecember was fairly active month, with the prices ranging from 763 to T7%{c. 'A Btronger pressure was puton December than on July, but the sellers gct with_sturdy resistance. De- ocember clostil at 763(c. The dealings were on a liveral 8cale in "the pit and were signifi- cant in that eperators, big and little, seem to bemaling up their minds for a cumpaign, The lines are being more sharply and clearly drawn, and trade is getting into a position to form better judgment asto crop probabilities. ‘The government report will be in Monday afternoon, and that wiil probably exert an important influence. 1f it is a reflex of the actual crop situation, it should show a ma- terial reduction from the high oconditions prevailing a month or six weeks ago. The corn market averaged firmer, princi- pally owinf o plentcous rains prevailing in the corn belt,and the sympathetic feeling with the strength in wheat. 'The foreign markets were quoted dull and the receipts here were liberal, but for Monday the estimated re- cepts of 9uty 451 cars gave some further en- couragement_to holders. ‘The shipments hence wereliberal, but the demand from shippers to-day was not urgent, although the offerings were bringing more money in sympathy with the speculative outlook. Thero was a fair amount of trading for a short time near the orening, but it then lapsed into dullness and remained so. The siight advance which prevailed at the open— ing did not hold throughout, the closing fig- ures being substantially the same as on the previous day. Outs were suronger, oxhibiting ¢ to_ ¢ advance on all deliveries as extended as Septemver. The posted receipts were con- siderably less than anticipated, and the con- tinued cold and wel weather called out an increased buying. There was no lack of supply, however, with the same prominent operator, the leading scller vrho was present % opened at 22%c, and sold @23 with September im- ic. There was a contin- for round' lots for early shipment, but vessel room was reported June and No. 2 oats, 0 go _in store, , and May, 1890, sold at 2Be. ons were quiet and without special features. Even insbort ribs which again led in interest, trading was on a more restricted scale than for some days previous. There was no development in any branch of trade 10 occasion comment, and the market opened and closed in an uninter- esting manner. Prices, however, averaged a little lower than yesterday. In pork the de- cline actually suffered was from 23 to 73c, ard 234 and in suort ribs from 23410 5c. CHICAGO LIVE STOOR MARKET, CHICAGO, Jume 8. pecial Telogram to Tue Bee |—Carrie.—Today’s supply con- sisted of about 1,800 natives and 1,200 Texans. The trade in native cattle was fairly active for Saturday, and the offerings were quickly absorbed at genorally steady prices, fat little steers selling to the best advantage and strong. A good many of the cattle at preseut arriving are showing grass to such an extent that buyers are discriminating, and prices between such and striotly corn- fed are daily widening.

Sir William Thompson recently deliv- ered a series of lectures on physics at Johns Hopkins university,and the fash- ionable people of Baltimore set out to make t{:gm an event in social intel- lectual circles. They understood that some mathematical training was neces- sary, but Sir Williamn sailed right into questions involving differential and in- vegral calculus. After he had filled a bluckboard with equations, he turned and asked: ‘Do you follow me?” A few minutes later, in a particularly diffi- cult problem, hé mildly asked his audi- enceo, if they saw l\n{ mistake, to call his attention to it. He wondered wny everybody smiled. Half a dozen very studious looking men made up the audi- ence at the second lecture, P Really an Advantage. Again the hard-hearted historian has 1aid violent hands upon the story of the Highland lassie who, shut up in the walls of Luckow, heard the welcome sound of the bagpipes of the Highland regiment playing *‘The Camvbells Are Comiug,” which, he declares, is founded upon imagination and not upon fact, It really does not matter much, says the Toronto Globe. People enjoy Hamlet and Dandie Dinmont and Sam Weller without bothering themselves to inquire whether they are founded on fact or not, and it is really an advantage for the Lucknow lassie to leave the shift- ing sands of history and take up her abode on the firm ground of ficvion.

The Bankers OComplain of the Boareity of Borrowers. INFLUENCE OF GOLD EXPORTS. Produce Markets Considered Fair Under Existing Circumstances — The Export Movement tn Grain fs a Little Improved. Cutting Off Quotations Renowod. Omicaso, June 8.—[Special Telegram to Tnr Bre.|—The advent of summer finds the monetary situation tho same us usual at tho commencemont of the usual dull scason. Thero is, in fact, nothing in the way of logitimate trade, mdustries or spoculative pursuits to stimulate the demand for money above the average calls from what may bo termed ‘“all the year borrowors"—thoso who at all times want more or less favor from their bankers bocause the character of their business compels them te cither grant Tonger time to customers or to carry larger stocks than thay are able to handle with their own capital. Dospite the neces- sities of such customers, the paper thoy present, while seldom backod by collaterals, is usually good, and in the present easy condition of the money market it s readily discounted at 6@7 per cent. Collat- eral loans and strictly gill edge paper aro quoted at 41§ o big per cent. On the street money is offered at 4@7 per cent, according 10 the character of the paper and seeurity. Paper sent hero from other cities generally sells at B @7 per cent when {the nawes are in good standing. The exporss of gold from New York continue large, but their influence is soarcely felt on the motey market, be- cause of the belief that they will not. con- tinue. The absenceof activity in any line of business there to stimulate an en- larged demand for loans, also tends to increaso the indifference 1n regard to gold shipments, The market for Now York exchange is steady, with a fair domand at 65@70c per $1,000, the close being at tho inside. Foreign exchange ruled rather quiet. A moderate number of bills are being made, but tho demand is not so ‘brisk, and an easier feeling prevailed. Sixty days’ documentary sterling bills on London sold &t $4.86@4.801. The weok in Wall street was fraught with unusual uncortain- ties. The sudden movement of the govern- ing committee of the New York exchange in outting off quotations from the tickers left the outside public rather in the dark as to the drift of sentiment. This rathermuddied the public who depended upon continuous quotations, and prevented them from trad- ing with a degreo of frcedom that has characterized the market for several weoks past, honce a large part of the tran- sactions was confined to the room operators. During the first part of the week business fell off wery perceptibly. As the trading public became accustomed to the new order of uffuirs, they developed more disposition to speculate. The flood disasters and heavy loss of property in Pennsylvania made hold- ers norvous and croated a general desire to realize. This resulted in shurp declinos, and induced the bears to sell short qmie frecly. The increased carnings of the St. Paul, Burlington and Atchison systems, coupled | with the kmown existence of a large short interest, induced the formation of bull pools in these properties. Their operations scsred the shorts into covering, and before the close prices moved up sharply. The feature of the wrading was an increased interest in trusts, especially suzar and lead. The for- mer was on the strong situation for sugar, and reports of large carnings, and prices advanced eight points, Lead trusts advanced over 5 points, the upward course being materially augmented by the purchase of two manufactories at St. Touis. On bulges the liquidation was Iiberal, and reac- tions followed, but the constant absorption of offerings oaused the prices of the most active properties 1o close higher than the previous week. Bonds were fairly active and stendy. The aggregate transac- tions for the week were 1,806,000 share: Under the circumstances, the produce marlkets may be regarded as baving been fairly uctive during the week jus The new order of things regarding the dis- tribution of market quotations und destruction of telegraphic wires by storms, tended to check speculutive business slightly, and the damage to railroads by floods inter- fered somewhat with the shipping interests. I anything, trading was somewhat enlarged on outsige account, especially in wheat, corn and provisions; while local operators were not inclined to do much business. The weather has been somewhut unsettled; rather wet aud cool in most regions but no particular damage to grow ing crops has been reportod: Little improvement was made, howeyer as warm weather 18 now required. The movement of grain to the leadmg western markets has been quite frec, indicating that the farmers are willing, 1n view of the fayor- able outlook for the growing crops, to dis- pose of their supplies on haund. Shipments of grain to Canada and New Eungland and the Middle States huve bern free, us the ship- pers are anxious to move their supplies be- fore the new crops come on the market, and while the present freight rates can be ob- tained. The visiblesupply of grain shows a de grense in all kinds, excepting of corn, The ex- port movement shows little improvement,and rather liberal of corn and provisions, and moderate of other articles. Advices from Europe indicate a favorable outlook for most of the growing crops in all the prin- cipal countries, excepting Russia, and the markets in thut quarter have shown some weakness and further reduction in orice, Stocks abroad were moderately large, and deliveries of home-grown grain have been rather free. The changes in prices during the week were confined within a compara- tavely narrow range, and inclined in favor of buyers. Speculutors were transforving con- tracts atead to some extent, and the recent decline m prices has encouraged some buy- ing for inyestment., ceipts of live stock, particularly of cat- tlo and hags, have been quite liberal at all the principal western packiog points, and the packing of togs has becn considerable in- creased during the weck. Roewrns for the summer season 80 far show an increuse of about 885,000 hogs, with considerable im- provement in welght. Provisions have been only moderately active, with prices of specu- Iative articles favoring buyers. Sceds are rater quiot and dull, ———— HORRIBLE MURDERS, How Suppos:d Witchcraft is Punished Dby the Natives of India. Ahorrible case of murder for supposed witcheraft 1s reported from the Decean. At a village in Chevnair, Jaluho, cer- tain shepherds were suspected by the villagers, ana these suspicions were ac- centuated in consequence of a severe epidemic of cholera. Two of the suspected men were seized, solemuly tried and condemned for witcheraft by the village commission and sentenced 10 be tortured to death. There, in the presence of all the vil- lagers, their teeth were extracted with pinchers, and their heads wene shaved. Subsequently they were buried up to their necks, wood was piled around tneir heads, a fire was kindled, and the skulls were romsted into powder. Some thirly persons have been convicted and sentonced to various terms of im- prisonment, A simlar case was vecently tried ai Bombay. The accused iwputed the deaih of his father. and mother, and the illuess of cerwnin members of his family, vo the arts of an old woman and beat her to death with a thick, heavy stick, These cuses ave common,bul are rarely brought to the notice of the Briush authorities, THE PHANTOM SHIP AGAIN, it Has Boen Ropoatedly Seen in the Vicinity of Block Isiand. For the first time this yoar the phans tom ship has becn sighted off Blook Island, says the G Anu Advertisor, The peeuliarity of thie appearance consists in {ts always being at various points, with the same rosults in the way of description. In ‘other words, the spectators all tell about th same story. This night the gro: tlaze was witnessed by a lady at fi&r‘l Beach, two goutlomen at n& 1, soveral members of & family in Charless ton, and soon. No one yet been able to acoount for this wonderful sight. It secms like a ship on fire, an is gonorally visible for some minutes. Old residents of Rhode Island olaim that it is the ghost of the three-masted schooner from Holland, which was led to destruction over a c(\m.llrr ago by the wicked Block [slanders. The crew wos murdered, the vessel plun- dered and burned, Strange a8 it may seem, the theoty of the phantom shi{v is held by many'intel ligent porsons. Whittior’s poem on this uncanny appearance is one of the most beautiful things in the language.
