THE CONDITION OF TRADE. Financial Circles Active Despite the Hollday Interruption. A LIBERAL SUPPLY OF MONEY. General Trade Passing Throngh Its Regular Midsummer Duline A Heavy Fall Trade and Easy Collsctions Expected. The Tooal Finaneial Sitnation. Notwithstanding the holiday interruption to trade this week, the clearings show ac- tivity in financial circles and bankers report a fuir demand for money, with a liberal sup- ply. Mr. Hughes reports tho cleavings at 570,402.54, an increase of 4934 per cent, ' balances footed §1,186,020.71. General trade was, of courso, quiet, Mid- summer is here and a languidly lazy mood prevails, while salesmen are moro intent upon arranging fishing tackle than samplos, and in getting ready for the usual outing. Thero is no doubt felt in commercial circlos, However, ns to fall trade. It will be heavy and easy collections are looked for. In fact, colloctions now ure £00d, and are improving, and money seems us easy in the country as it is in the city. Tho appraisal of the assots of the defunct banic of Omaha has been completed and indi- cate that depositors will get about 10 cents on the dollar, unless they nave better luck than is usual under similar circumstances. The Banl of Sidnoy is sald to owo $00,000, of which about _one half is to bankers, and the other mostly to merchants of that place, and there seems to besome doubt as to “whether it can be legally demonstrated that Mr. ¥, B. Johnson is a general partner, and if he i not, then creditors will ot get over 10 per cent. though Mr. Johnson is under- stood to have expressed a dispositior. to make the gssois Worth #40,000, which would give creditors about two-thirds of their claims. 11 the matter goes to tho courts tho lawyers will probably got everything. The Stockholdor states that the total rail- roud disbursements on account of dividends and interest on bonds for July are $61,123,415, besides which the government pays about 0,000,000 of intorest on its bonds. It also disburses during the month about $14,000,000 in ponsions, and if we add, say ouly $19,000,000 for dividends on the stocks of banking and manufucturing corporations and the bonds of various states and munici- alities, the total disbursements for July aro ound to closely appreximate $95,000,000. Coffce, like Humpty Dumpty, is ha reat fall. The wealthy speculators, ave been holding the bulk of the wor visible supply for a rise, are gradually clos- ing out their holdi owing to better pros- pects for the Brazilian coffee crop, and pric ere constantly declining. _ Coffee took another big tumible on the New s change yesterday on reports that bags will bo left over from last year's of Rio and Santos. Muckerel ure in such small prices are above the views of most buyers. Old fisherman think tne fish have crossed the Atlantic and there seems to be some grounds for believing so, as many mackerel are being cought off the Irish and English coast. he supply that OMAHA LIVE SPOOK. atle Saturday, July 6.

A Quiet Wind Up to a Fairly Active Week. WHEAT FLUCTUATIONS NARROW. Corn and Oats Rule Dull and Feature- loss—Only a Handfal of Uattle Received—Hogs Anything but Brisk. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cuicago, July 6.--[Special Telegram to Tur Bee,]—~There was a quiet windup to a fairly active week’s busines Fluetuations outside of July delivery were narrow and trading was languid, but shorts i this month are still nervous and holders of their contracts evidently wean to keep them on the anxious seat. The starting price for July was about 82¢, but it soon reached 83c and held around there all day, closing at 83%¢c, or 13¢{c bottor than yesterday. For Desembor 70%c cod 800 marked the ex- tremes, closing at S0¢, which is 5¢c improve- ment on Friday's closing figure, Cables con- tinue to quote a firm market in Eagland, accompanied by reports of fine prospects for the whoeat erop of that country and of France. @ Orders from Europe forj Ameri- can wheat a@re by no means plentiful or urgent, in the fu of one of their chief sources of supplying in a great measure dried up, if the Russian crop naye roports are not grossly exageerated. uropean countries display a asiderable amount of equanimity, and a lack of any- thing ap pronching anxicty regarding future supplies, which is probably to be attributed to the fine growing weather enjoyed by two chief importing countries. The northwest is now changing over from fear of drouth to apprehension of blight from hot winds suc- ceeding the late copious rams. Some such anxicty was expressed ina few of to-day’s dispatches from that country of contra- tradictory crop reports. St. Louis dispatchoes a week ago promised heavy receipts of new wheat this week, which have notpanned out, and now modify their views to the extent of postponing those liberal receipts to the 15th of the present month. In the meantime Minneapolis appears tw require some of the St. Louis wheat to eke out her own subplies till the maturing of the .northwestern crop shall supply her immense grinding capacity. There wera reported purchases of forty cars of wheat to-day on account of Minneapolis nillers. Charters wera made here to-day to co out 90,000 bushels of wheat, for which some promium ovor the July price was paid, but the exact figure was not made public, shippers appearing to have a constitutional dread of quoting the cash price of Minneap- olis millers, who are evidently in need of wheat, as, besides, the purchase of red win- ter made by them in St. Louis, 5,000 bushels spring whest was bought hero to- frce on board cars, for shipment Minng There was hardly a kernel of bear news in the sheaves of ~the dispatclics received to-day, if the magmificent harvest weather in tho winter wheat belt be excepted, but that of itself gave sufficient courage to the shorts to prevent any very roneral alarm, and _they submitted without mblance of ar 's advance. Corn was quite dull and quite feawuretess. The whole fluctuation of the {e, and the close was same as yestorday. ‘he in- cs, of which 412 graded No. 2. The estimate for Mon- is for 486 cars. The shipping demand ns fair both here and av the east, and thirteen loads were reported taken at New for export, But speculative business on a limited scale, and most of the time the trading pit was almost deserted, August sold all day at 35 losing o 35'4¢ bid, while Septemb: K @357¢ (@3t and split, closing with sellers at 37¢c. At the close August was about Igc better than it closed last night and September about: Jg¢ hugher. Ouats were as tame and featureless as on any preceding day of the week and no more than steady. Receipts were large and ex- ceeded the estimates, with favorable crop woather and duliness everywhere there was little incentive for speculative activity. Sop- tember sold mostly ut 22%@23l4c, together with a prominent operator later offering to either buy or sel! at 25:5c. While May was dull around 25%¢, the demaud for car lots was small, with No. 2 regnlar quiet at 228gc. Provision traders found it an_easy matter to keep track of the market. It was slow throughout, and for both cash and future de- livery the business transacted made a_poor showing, Operators of all classes exhibited remarkable indifference, and an easier feel- ing controiled the trade, tno best prices quoted being obtained at the opening. The closings all around were siderably under yesterday's final quotations. In_pork the decline suffered amounted to 5@i2gc. In lard to Tige, and in short ribs to se. CHICAGO LIVE STOOKR MARKET. was CmioaGo, July 6.—[Spocial Telegram to Tne Bee.|—Carrie.—The supply proved only a “handful” of cattie—about 640 Texas and 700 natives—not enough to attract the attention of buyers generally, and seliers were forced to peddle out their holdings in small lots to city butchers and canners, though an_occasional load or so found its way into the bands of dressed beef men. Prices underwent no material change and the market 1s quietable as nominally steady all around.

' In fact, buyers in the Rock Island divisions opened tho market, bidding only $4.50 for good heavy and good mixed and a er of transactions were made on this basis, bat the Northwest and Burlington divisions were doing business on a b, of $4.20 for fair packing grades, $1.321@4.35 for good to prime packing and shipping droves, $4.80@4.821¢ for beavy mixed, $4.35@ 4.57%¢ for light mixed, & fow sales up to £4.40(24.45@4.50 for sorted light, and Rock Island finally fell into line. General trade, however, continued weak and *draggy,” and it was only with the greatest difficulty that 4 clearance could bo effected. —— FINANCIAL. New Yorg, July 6.—[Special Telegram to Tue Ber]l—Stocks — There was a more hopeful outlook in stocks this morning, although it was little noticed in the early trading. The trade regards the firmvess in Loudon as significant, believing that the for- eigners have some assurances of a solution of the railvoad disturbances, Chicago ad- vices also pointed to a probable settlement at the next meeting of tho presidents. Follow- ing the quiet opening there was activity in Atchison, Lake Shore and New England. Trusts were dull and stagnant throughout, as on yesterday, The market reacted from the low prices of last evening, but eould not hold the advance and generally retired small fractions from the ovening figures, which were from ! to 3¢ per ceut higher than last night's prices, the biggest advance being in Lake Suore. Atchison and New England were prominent for strength and actually advanced fractions iu the face of the heavi- ness of the rest of the market. The only marked movement was in Lake Shore, which, after opening up 3¢ per cent, declined 1 per cent to @iJ¢. Duriog the hour to 12 ©'clock there was a declining tendeucy and the closing prices were ubout the lowest of the dey. Atchison closed steaay at 83, Burlington, Missouri Pacific and North- wostern %@ per cent lower.

PROPERTY THAT IS TIED UP. Real Hstate Gems Defaced By ‘Wooden Structures. ELIGIBLE CORNERS BURDENED. The Week's Business in Real Estate, Building ana Banking Circles ~Interesting lmproves ment Notes. BSome “Shanty Corners," “About the first thing the average visitor to Omaha wants to know,” sald a woell- known real estate man yesterday, ‘'is why some of the best building lots, situated in the most desirable parts of the city, are not im- proved as they should be. It 1sa fact, too, that many of the most eligible corners are still burdened with the shanties that wore built while Omaha was simply a muddy, sickly river landing. It s astonishing how quickly visitors seo these places. Citizous become accustomed to them and don't roalize how {frightfully bad they look plongside some of the magnificent structures that have been built within the past few vears. Stil, resident property owners feel tho existence of these kenuels, for owners do not care to run upa four or six-story brick building alongside & tumblo down, ‘onc-story frame, and_building generally is retarded. Take Tenth street for exmmple. If the Union Pa- cific had built a decent depot where tho cow-shed now stands, say ten rs ago, Tenth street would be a sol line of brick blocks to-day instead of a row of tumble-down frame shanties Example is followed in nothing so much as in building, “There are many instances in which good reasons can be given for the ‘shanty’ condi- tion of eligible corner lots in the best por- tions of the city. Some of them are parts of estates that can not be improved until heirs become of age, but other good coruers are kept from being properly improved sim- ply by the grasping nature of certain indi- viduals who own a few feet of proporty be- tween lots possessed by publio-spirited oiti- zons who would improve their possessions. “One of the best corners in tho city, at the northeast corner of Jourteonth and Douglas, is burdened with throe cheap frame structures, ‘I'he corner is owned by Mr. J. Chambers, while ex-Governor Saunders owns the adjoining twenty foct. These gen- tlemen are not in a hurry to build, but could not well improve their property if they wished to as the adjoining twenty foot, necessary for & building of any size, is owned by the Isaac Tomason estate and will not be settled up for years. The Merchants’ National bank people know something of the dog-in-the-man- ger policy adopted by some property owners. B. I. aud G. W. Smith of Boston, years ago paid §3,000 for the twenty feat just east of the present Merchants' National bank at ‘arnam and Thirteenth streot: When tho bank people planned to build on their present site two vears ago they sou hase the twenty feet. They offered the Smiths §2,000 a front foot for the property, but tha owners raised their holding to $43,000. This the bank people agreed to give when the owners took the property out of the market. It holds n one-story cigar store, to-da; large enough for a coal shed for the magnifi- cent structure that touches sides with it. “The northeast corner of Twelfth and Far- nam is also behind in the matter of improve- lents. It is occupied, at present, by a frame saloon, as it has been for twonty years, the owner, Mrs. Van Amie, showing no disposi- tion to improve it. “For five years two enterprising hotel men having been endeavoring to purchase the northeast corner of Twelfth and Douglass, where the Metropolitan hotel stands, with a view of building a fine brick hotel on the property. The owner, however, satisfied with the monthly rental from the frame structure refuscs to sell the lot and will not listen to auy offers that contemplate an im- provement of the proverty. “There are a great many other locations,” oncluded the speaker, *‘for excellent build- ings, Mr. A.J. Hanscom owns the magnifi- cent property adjoining Boyd's opera house on Farnam streot, and the frame saloons on it are the only buildings in the block that arc not substantial brick structures. Down in the next block, John Baumer occupies a frame shop but can not improve it as the lot is owned by eastern people who are not yet satisfled that Omaha has a future.” The Progress of a Half Year. R.G.Dunn & Co.’s commercial agency has issued a semi-annual review -of the business outlook, in which Omaha 18 spoken of as follows: Omaha has made asteady and substantial progress during the last six mofiths. A stranger without a guide, traversing the city, would be impressed by the manifold evidences of enterprise and wealth visible on every side. The growth of Omaha has been phenomenal, and, despite the drawback occasioned by the collapse of the boom in suburban real estate, the city has made more rapid advancement to the position of a commercial metropolis during the last haif year than during any other similar period in its history. Eastern capital secks investment here at 6 per cent per annum, Manufacturers are seeking lo- cations: wholesalers and jobbers are increas- ing their store capacity, and new houses are locating, and the attontion of tho shrewd men of the country is attracted to Omaha, they perceive that this city stands to-day where Chicago did in 1869, offering adyant- ages to Investors here now equal tothose offered there then. There is no town in the United States which presents 8o many di- reet tangible inducements to manufaciurers and dealers desirous of making monoy as does this city to-day. Jobbers and manufac- turers’ sales for the last six months will foot upwards of one hundred million dollars, Building is far in excess of any provious year, and the supremacy of Omaha as one of the great commereial centers of the United States is admitted by experienced and can- did observers. In tho state the growth of wealth and population is, if anything, in ex- cess of the city, Crops promise a greater abundance of yield than is usual. The new banking law, strict and well digested, goes into force July 1, and all indications point to a prosperous future for Nobraska and Omaha, Real Estate Transfers. “'he past week has beon a quiet one in real estate circles.

Cmeaao, July 6.—[Special ‘Telegram to Tur Bee.|—A firmer foeling oxisted in mon- otary circles, and, although rates wore no stronger, they wore well maintained and & disposition existed to slightly advance them, Calls for loans, while fair, have been in- significant compared with tho amount of business transacted in renewing loans provi- sly made, The renewals, however, wers genorally at 1 por cent advance over tho rates previously in force. Rates on call ranged at 5@6 per cont und time at 6@8 per cent. There is considerable money on the street seeking mvestment i commercial paper, which pays 5@7 per cent, and some- times more, depending on the standing of the maker.
