Jobbers Pleased With the Present Outlook for Fall Trade — Colleo- tions Falr—Certain Lines of Groceries Show Firmness. GOOD In Looal Trade Oiroles. The cloarings footings for the woek show considerable activity in financial circles, and a notable increnso of 42 per cent, viz: Clear- ings, $5,070,381.67; balances, $1,390,045,0 Money continues ensy and in abundant sup- ply. Rates are about as usual--S@10c per cent per cent per annum for prime paper. Exchange is #1 por $1,000 premium ., Jobbers are very much pleasod with the outiook for fall trade. Orders both from salosmen and by mail are liberal. Collectious are ‘very fair indeod, and the pres- ent indications oclearlv pont to an exceptionally heavy trade during the next six months. Prices show a tondency to ad- vance, In dry goods, canton and woolen flannels are 21{@10 per cent up, waile table oil cloths are worth 25 per cent more than at the first of the season. In groceries, canned goods show cousid- erable firmness, and as western packers have been unable to make contracts for fu- tore delivery, and hence nave been unable o raise money from their bankers, it is thought that the pack will bo greatly cur- 1afled and prices will rule high. Corn and tomatoes have shown much activity lately “l?l 4l5o stooks in first hands are pretty weil sold up. Lumber and hardware show fair activity d a lively business is in sight. Hides aro dull and lower than before in forty yours, Leather, however, shows strongor and the market is stoady. Wool 18 dull, but 'the indications ara for better prices. 5 The New, York Commercial Bulletiu calls attention to the fact that the national banks organized in the last five years—moro than #ix tundred in nuniber—less than one-eighth ave been located in the eastern and middle states. The records for the fisoal year just closed show that of mare than one “hundred and fifty new bauks organized during the ‘ear, with nearly $16,000,000 capi our-fifths of the banks and five-sixt capital are in tho west and south. ank clearings at thirty-soven the last six months aggregated $97,007,450,050, or 18 per vent morc than 1n 1885, 7 per cent in excess of 1887, and 17 per c-ut more than in 1886, These figures furnish a good com- mentary on the general activity of trade this year. The bauk of France holds $237,350,000 of gold, tho bank of England $115559,000 and the bank of Germany $151,806,000. During the month of Juue, according to ofticial figures, the amount of money in c culation in this country was decreased $17, 324,701, The total ciroulutiou is now #1,850,- 146,050, mude up of 8376,055,483 in gold coin, 54,417,007 in standard sityer dollars, 851,470, - 834 in subsidiary silver, $110,792,750 'in 'gold certificates, $267,102,445 in silver certificates, $317,070,05 in United States notes, and $207,220092 in national bank notes. The princival change last month was in gold cer: tificates, which fell off $13,251,008, Tne gold bullion in the treasury ~decreused from £55,- 241,805 to $65,586,0<4, but the gold coin in- creased 81,802,128, There was a net decrease in money and ‘bullion in tho treasury of $12,- 610,357, the total amount at the close of June being §652,050,843.

A week or more ago a gentleman whom we will eall Mr. Blank died, says the Washington Post, and the time and place of his funeral were announced in the papers. . Another gentleman, whom we_will call Blanker, saw the notice and said vo himself: **Dear, dear, my old friend and bene- factor is dead. I knew he was in Wash- ington, and intended to call on him, but now it is too late.” And he censured himself for his neg- lect of the man who had been his friend hen he solely needed a friend. ortured by his conscience, he sought 10 make up as best he then could for his fault, He sent the most magnificent floral piece he could buy,and on the day of the funeral wasone of the most demonsirative of the mourners. After the casket had been lowered into the grave and the cerémonies were at an end, the repentant Mr. Blanker benefactor afterwards.” “There must be some mistake,’” said the gentleman. ‘*‘Mr. Blank wasnot in the army. e has been in this country only a few years.” “The deuce you forgetting his grie Dve been chief mourner at the wrong man’s funeral.” And he straightway looked up his old friend, who was in ex- cellent health. It cost Blanker a good deal for flowers, but that isn’t a circum- stance to what it has since cost him for wine. v1” 5aid Blanker, then, by thunder, e The £nake Swallowed a Man. A strange discovery—one that is caus- ing the thoughtful to ponder over the unwritten past—was made yester by a French citizen near Gainesville, Tex., says a special dispatch, Having occasion to sink a well, Mr. Sommes, the. Frenchman in question, gelected a spot in a valley, near a ravine of great length, and which, dur- ing heavy rains, is transformed into a raging torrent, depositig in the valley limestone, gravel, mud and other de- bris. After reaching a depth of four feet, and while in a formation of limestone gravel that had continued almost unin- terrupted!v from, the surface down, Mr. Sommes came upon the vertebr and ribs of an animal. The ribs were about the size of a small pig’s and rapidly tapered. Carofully unearthing the bones toward the tapering end, Mr. Sommes came to the rattles, whichy when counted. num- bered seventeen, the largest measuring six inches across. Attracted by the strange find, the neighbors gathered in and tho work of unearthing the monster was prosecuted with vigor. After laying bare nineteen feet of the remains of the monster of other time, imagine their consternation at Bnding the entire skeleton of a man of tremendous stature in the stomuch of the skeleton of the snake.

The Provision Trade Shows Some Improvement in Tone — The Few Native Oattle Re- ceived Scll Quickly. CHIOAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Oiticaco, July 18.—[Spacial Telegram to Tue Bee]—Wheat had a firm start this morning. Trades in Decomber were made at the opening on a basis of 8¢ and in July at 79e. December advanced to 79K @79'{c, roceded to 790, and on better ocables, un- séttled weather in England and further re- ports about the Russian crop damage, moved up to 70¢c. Then came a budget of reports foreshadowing a huge movement of wheat from the country and the market began to eabe off. This bearish news came at a time when the scalpers wora protty well loaded up in auticipation of a substantial re- covery. It was accompauied by heavy selling orders from St. Louis, to which was added the speoulative offerings of the local bear contingent, with Hutchinson and Linn, and Place, the Pittsburg plunger, in the foreground. The result of the pres- sura, moral and actual, was & broak of about 13¢c in the whole list of active futures. The weakness in futures was intonsified by the liberal solling of July against wheat bought in tho coumtry and poiuted this way. Mo- Henry had a big line to sell and broke the: market from 794c to 70ige. There was a renction of o or thereabouts from the bottam, but not much trading was done after the broak. December sold off to 77%c and September slid down to 5@ 75%c. Ou the decline there was heavy uu- loading of long wheat and towards the bot- tom scalpers very generally took their profits, ‘There sobmed to be no disposition, however, to take 1 any of the important Lines, Spec- ulative sentimeat is decidedly. bearish, prin- cipally in anticipation of tho approaching big movement of winter wheat. 5t. Louis has extraordinary statements to make about the wheat that is going to be received there. Thus far the actual receipts have fallen far below expectations, though the movement is increasing rapidly. It will have a hard time keeping up with the estimates, however. The receipts at Minneapolis are also looming up wonder(ully, and a weelk or ten days contin- uation of the movement at its presont pro- vortions will clean out the country elovators and leave very little grain to come forward the first of “August until the next crop be- comes availablo. The situation at Minneap- olis is strongly suggestive of a ‘‘corner’ in speculative grade there and prodigious ef- forts are being made to crowd wheat into that market for deliveryon July contracts. Little wheat has gone to Minneapoiis from here and there is wild talk of wholesale shipments. Cables were quiet and steady in tenor. New York had no export news of importance to communicate in this market. A fair degree of activity in the cash market is reported. Lake engagements for 96,000 bushels are reported and the arrivals for Monday ure estimated at 101 cars, the most of which is new. The visible supply 1s expected to show. a decrease of something like half a million bushels. The closing rauge of prices was as follows: July 763c, August 75%dc, Septem- ber 758¢~ and December 777gc. As compared with yesterday, this shows a loss of 1c in September and %c in December. 'The total shrinkage in December since the market started back three or four days ago has been about 41¢c, July has lost about Sc. The corn market was very dull and ex- tremely weak . at the opening, with a fair show of strength, but the declining tendency of the wheat market gradually effected trad- and ‘was mainly re- subsequent weak- fair- demand and erate from Atluntic ports yesterday, but for the week amounted to 1,439.500 bushels. More distant futures felt the bear pressure in about an equal degree with seller July, The latter declined from !¢ to ¢ and so also did September, the closing quotations being 8650 for July and 85} @35ige for September.

The moaerate buying of pork by some of yesterday’s raiders developed & disposition among tailers and miscellaneous shorts to coyer, and with a better demand than expected the market naturally gained in strength. Pork was the most active article in the list, and on the call the transactions in it approx- imated 12,000 barrels. Lard and short ribs also received fair attention, and, for Satur- day, business all around made quite a good showing. ~Shippers' purchases of cash lard amounted to 9,650 tierces t $6.2214@0.87}.

The big de- cline of Friday was a thing of the past, and railroad stocks startedL @7 per cent over the close, and tho buyjug which followed put prices up additional fractions all around. Lake Shore went to 183§, New England to 501, and Atchison to %}. Burlington led the advance, going to 100Y, Northwestern to 107%, Rock Island tor®di, St. Paul to 687, Missouri Pacific to 633, and Union Pacific to 5734, Trusts were still excited, though Cot~ ton Ol was an exception, being quict with small fluctuations and well held. Chicago Gns led off by opeming down 13§ por cent at 563 and Guickly dropped to b4}, rallying to 50. Lead opened down i per cent at 25 and in early trading displayed some strength, moving up 3, but then gave way and drosped to 24, but recovered a portion of the loss.

Load was still extremoly active, but thare were few 1,000 sharo lots sold, and the aggregate of the transactions was not so large as dur- ing the corresponding time yesterday. The recovery in trusts was accompanied by a firmer tone in the regular list. After 11 o'clock there was a short period of dullnoss and a foatureless market. Before the close at noon thore was afirmer feeling, which was sharéd by the trusts and rogular stocks. Sugar recoverod to 111% and closed at 1103, Lead roacted to 5% and closed at 24%¢. Chi- cago Gias was particularly strong and recov- ered from 55 to 58, the closing price of last night, and closed at 57l.

Blg Summer Deals pending In Omaha Roealty. EASTERN CAPITAL INTERESTED. The Building Record Shows Well For the Dull Season — The OClears ance Record. For the Week The Realty Market. Some of the leading real ostate men are taking their annual vacations, expecting the usual lull in the market during tho next six weeks, Right here is where they are very apt to be mistaken. Though the trade of the past week has been light there are soveral Uings on foot which show the strong under: current and indicate plainly that the regular annual dog-day lull in the market will not be noticeable this year. The sale of the opera house proverty was but a starter for the or- ganization of sevoral schemes the consum- mation of which will create renewed actiy- ity in real estate circles. It is gonerally ac cepted that & new opera house will be built and property owners and roalty spoculators are busy in an offort to secure the attention of the prospective pro- moters of the enterprise to eligible locations. Tho corners at_Seventeenth and Douglas, ‘Twentioth and Dodge, Eighteenth and Har. ney, Twenticth and St. Mary's aveaue and soveral other sightly locations have been named as especially suitable for opers, house purposes, The decision of Deering & C the agricultural implement dealers, to erect a mammoth warehouse at the corner of Eighth street and Capitol avenue, is expected to causo a great change in that part of the city and to cause an activity in reaity in that part of the Third ward. The location is one of the best in the city for warchouse purposes and 1t is surprising that jobbers have mot takem possession of it sooner. The proposed improvement will result in the removhl of the undesiruble clasa of vitizens who have 8o long infested that quarter and will render eligiblo for le- gitimate business several blocks - especiully suitable for such improvements. There is reason to expect other big deals on inside property. A New York business man who is willing to inyest 150,000 1 good inside property, has had a representative in the city for several days and las received quotations from several owners, Among the locations under consideration are the south- east corner of Fourteonth and Capitol ave- nue and the southeast corner of Fourteonth and Davenport, - In case either site is pur- chased it will bo mproved by u fine brick block. ‘There is considerablo activity too in the manufacturing outlook, The organization of the Omaba Stove Manufactur, pany assures for Omaha another big indus- try. In addition to this, a capitalist from North Adams, Mass., hus been in the city for several days ascertaining what induce- ments Omaha would offer for the location and operation here of a mammoth wron foun- dry. While nothing derinite has been deter- mined upon, the knowing ones give verbal assurance that Owaha will secure this great industry. J.S. Campbell yesterday purchased the south half of lot L block 18, S. E. Roger's addition, for $4,000; Swan Rosengren paid $25,500 for 10 lots in Scully’s addition. The real estate transfers for the week are Total........ Bujlding Matters. The council wiil have for its consideration, among other thines, on Tuesday night, an or- dinance whicb, if passed, will very mater- ially change the present regulations cou- cerning bouse moving. Under the regula- tions that have been in vogue 1t has been im- possible for a house Lo outlive its apparent usefulness,” I'rame structures that were mere shells when erectsd have been trundled from one street to another as room has been demanded for substantial _improvements, until they are finally laaded in a_dilapidated condition on a choice lot in some handsome residence addition, surrounded by bright, comfortable ttages. Here they are vatohed, repaired and repainted, until they cost as much as a new house. They are never destroved until a fire comes along as a blessing in disguise and assists natural decay in the final demoli- tion of the building. But coming back to the proposed ordinance. This provides that when an owner wants to move' a house upon is_property he must first mscertan the hes of his neighbors in the matter and 1f ority of those in the block decide that they don't want an old sccond hand structure moved into the neighborhood, that settles the matter and the owner will have to place substantial improvement, if any at all, upon his property. If the ordinance is passed, and most of the councilmen favor it, it will be in- teresting to mote what disposition will be made of some of the structures that must be moved soon for big improvements, those on the Sixteenth street side of the new post- oftice site for instance. It will mark & new era if they are torn down. The number of permits issued thus far in July is not large, but there is s constant im- provement in the class of buildings to bo erected. Among the permits issued during the past weeis, these are promment : Mrs. Mary L. Turner will build two resi- dences on Burdette near Sixteenth, oach to cost 32,500, C. H.

LOANS MADE AT STRONG RATES* Activity Rules on the New York Stock Exchange During the Past Six Days, but With an Unsots tled Feeling. A Resnme ot the Country. Citreaao, July 13.—[Special Telogram to Tur Ber.|—The firmness in tho money mar- ket noted at the close of last week continues and 1ates aro strong at 5@7 per cent, the in= side boing only accopted for fanoy collater- als. On call tho majority of*banks are de- muuding 6 per cent on such loans, and doe cline paper at less than that figure, and 7 por cent is chargog for nearly all outside paper which thirty days ago found a ready market here at 6@6} per cent. The volume of the grain and provision papor held by the banks is far below the average at this date in former years, but its place is filled by an in- crease In the quantity of mere cantile and miscellancous obliga- tions, Thero is also more than the usual mid-summer average of renewals, in- dicating that jobbers and manufactures have found it more difficult than usual to convert their stocks into cash, The strength of the loan market is also increased by the recent advance in rates n New York and Hoston. This is due to the change in the flow of money from tho east to tho wbst, as is cus- tomary at this season, and ®lso to the un easiness creatod by the recent hoavy ox- ports of gold from Now York and fears that . they will increase. Collections aro fair, but in many soctions, whero crops wero poor, thoy are slow. Now York exchange was quiet, with moderate offorings, and sold at 25@50 ocents discount per 81,000 and closed at 40 cents discount, Foreign: exchange developed a weaker feel- iog and prices declined under increased offoriags of bilis, drawn mainly against shipments of corn and provisions. Rates ranged at $1.84)¢@4.84 for sixty days® doou- mentary sterling bills on London, and olosed at $4.84!g(@4.84%. The jobbing ana general trade continues to maintain a fair volume, though previous complaints of soant profits are repeated with mcreasod force, Merch- ants admit that tho compensation has beon altogetier too small for the amount of busi- ness transacted. (Cotton goeds are firm and a shade higher. Iron and iron goods aro stendy. Groceries soll freely. The weekly bank statement shows the fol- wing changes: Reserve, incrense, 31,613, 0753 leans, decroase, $2,515,3007 spocie, crease, $1,036,000; legal tend, i 2614,000; doposits, decrcase, $1,843,300; culution, decrease, $19,400. Tho banks now hold $6,630,100 in _excess of the 5 por cent rule. lxports of specie from ihe port of New York hst week amounted to $1,00,631, - of which $1,500,635 was n gold and $315,996 in silver. ~ Of the total exports, $1,533,705 in and $311,000 in_silvor went to Kurope, ng consigned direct to in gold and $7,966 silver went to South America. The imports of specie for the week amounted to $18,374, of which 10, was gola and 7,597 silver. The New York stck market was fairly active, but the feeling was unsettied. During the early part of the week tho uncertainty regarding the railrond situation in the west created a distrustful feeling and induced free sclling of “granger” stocks, so that the “short” interest created the preceeding week was increased to such an extent as to be unwieldy. Union Pacific, St. Paul, Atch- ison, and Rock Island broke sharply under selling pressure, but a change for the better was produced by news from the west that efforts were being made at. the meating of the presideiits to 7estore harmony amoug . the western liues, The fact that the Alton and Fort Warth were not represented - at the meeri had a tendency to create greater uneasin and the Alton, in which little has boen dong heretofore, sold off 9 points. “Shorts" began to cover and found the market over s0ld, and in their efforts to buy they created a brisk competition, which was incroased by report that efforts were being made to secure control of the Chicago, Hurlington & Northern and take it out as a disturber of rates in the northwest. It was asserted that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy was to put inits 30 per cent of holdings of that road, and other roads were to supply the money to purchase the balance. This started sharp buying and trading increased perceptibly and _advances of 2 to 8 points were recorded. The failure of the presidents to ugree, however, produced heavy selling, and about ail the appreciation was lost. Speculation in trusts was less ac- tive, but the feeling uusettled, good declines being in turn followed by sharp advances, and the losses were ubout recovered at tho close, but u sudden turn again carried prices down, and sugar closed with a net loss of over 6 points and on a lead of 7 point: Coal stocks were traded in fairly, but, they failed to attract ospecial attontion. The only importaut feature was the declaration of & quarterly dividend of 134 poer cent on Jersey Central, the first in a number of years, As it had been in a measure anticipated by the recent advance, ‘)w appreciation was only 2 points. Most of the active list closed lower than the preceding week. Bonds were fairiy active and steady and without. special features. The aggregate sales for the week were 1,291,000 shares, ngainst 938,000 sharos tho preceding weok, . Considorable interest has boen mavifested in the leading grain markets since the last ‘weekly review and speculative trading tvas quiteactive. Local opcrators traded uiore treely than for some time pastand orders from outside parties showad somo enlarge- ment. Ina general way the feeling was considerably unscttled and prices. fluctuated frequently within a moderate range, Crop prospects are quite favorable, tho weathor during the past week or ton days being more favorable for harvesting operations and for growing corn, and it is generally conceded that larger crops will secured than last year, and the quutity also will pe very good. New grain is boginning to move, and during the next month or two the re- ceipts undoubtedly will be liberal; Supplies of grain in the princival markets have ‘{'cen further reduced, excepting of oats, and tho movement of old_grain from first Hands has been moderate. The domestic markets have shown a little more strength and foreign advices were more favorable to holders. Crop advices Trom abroad exhibited very little change—generally good in. western Europe, but rather poor ifi s greater portion of Europe. 0 shipping the trade has sbhown a little more activity, being cncouraged by the veduction in freight ratos, Corn and oats were forwarded rather freely to onstern markets and wheat was scattered quite liberally through the interior to supply the wants of millers. Prices for tho lending cereals wore on an advancing scalo duping tiie early part of the week, with rather frea purchasiug by the “short)’ interost. Toward the close a weaker feeling was developed and lower prices submitted to, due o vonsideravlo realizing by holders of small quantitics and also to liberal 8 by ‘'ahorts.”! Provisions wore unsettled and woak durlua the greater portion of the week and lower prices were accepted for all leading descriptions. The shipping demand has fallen off materially, while the packing of hogs at all the principal western ‘)o(nu is progressing n excess of the returns for last season. The roceipts of cattie and hogs wore liboral at all the leading markets and lower prices were accopted, Seeds were unsettled and rather weal owing to botter crop prospects, flax belug the only exception. o A quaint and pretty fashion of quickly and charmingly draping the bodice for dinner on & sultry evening is followed at Saratoga and other fashionable resorts, A very long soarf of tulle net or lisse is carried atouna the throat, leaving a bit_exposéd just under the chin, The scarf is fasto ere and there with little glittering gem-set lace pios and then brought down trifle balow the waist and the airy folds caught in auugly aud se- curcly undor @ Large clasp or bickle, 1o long straight ends are shuply hemmzed, ead these frequently reach to whe foot of the BOWA.
