THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS, A Heavier and Lower Feeling in the ‘Wheat Pit. SLIGHT FLUCTUATIONS IN CORN. Oats Looked Firm, but the Demand Comparatively Small — Price Ohanges Narrow and In- significant. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS. Ciicaco, July 20, Telogram to Tre Bee)—~Wheat was heavier and lower today. Aside from the storm the market influences were bearish. Cables came in weak and mail aavices from the other smde were not of an encouraging character. One of the leading grain merchants on the con- tinent writes that while the Hungarian orop is going to be short, Hungary will carry 05,000,000 bushels of old wheat over, that Russia has an abundance of old wheat left, and that France will not noed to fmport any wheat to speak of this year. The buying panic among forcign speculators secms to have died away to a great extent, leaving that element loaded up with futures in this and other American markets, The New York represeutatives of foreign speculators are, for the most part, similarly situated, and it may be said that the gen- erality of these coutractsdo not snow a profit. The forward movement would un- questionably be larger now but for rains, and as it {s thoy are almost enough to offset the consumptive and export movement which has formed a basis for the bulling of the last two weeks. Altogethor the bears calcu- Iated that, with any kind of weather during the month of August and the resumption of foreign indifference, they will have tho bost of it. The bear fecling 15 gotting stronger, and with its development the bulls are los- ing something of their courage. Early in the day 75,000 bushels of wheat were worked for shipment, and the report of Inke engagements at the close of business showed that lake freight room had been taken for 223,000 bushels, This came 1 too late to belp the market much, though it served to improve the firmness of the tone to closing trading. This very important cash movement 18 understood to be for direct for- eign_shipment and does mot bear out the theory of a “lot up” to export ingairy, Open- ing trades were on a basis of 7ic for Decem- ver, 7734c for September aud 79¢ for July December sold up }con the cash trans tion above mentioned, but_eased off to 7t and subsequentiy, when the visible supply figures came in, 1t slipped still further back, foing to s, Tho marker gob steady, owever, and recovered to 78%(@783¢c, hold- ing for balf an hour at 78%c and closing at that figure. September sold down to 763{c and closed at 763@77c. July worked down to 78}c and closed at7%¢. Hutchinson dia nothing to influence July way or the other, so far as could be ascertained. Spee- ulative operations were on a restricted scale. The market was free from especial excite- ment, and none of the plungers were dis- osed to worry themselves by unusual effort, ven when it becamo known that vessel room had been chartered for nearly s quar- ter of a million bushels of wheat, *he market did not enthuse. Ordinarily it would have bulled easily. To-day news fell singularly flat for some unexplained reason compared with Saturday. July shows o loss of gc, September and December 3{c. he decrease of 837,000 bushels in the visible supply of ' corn was mot unexpected, and dia not affect the markets when announced. The day's re- ceipts being nearly fifty cars more than Sat- urday, estimates strengthened the hands of the receivers and enabled them to get slightly better prices for what they had to offer in the cash market. This had a strengthening influence on futures in which the tone was firm but without activity. Fiuctuations were extremely narrow, and trading appearcd to be confined’ to local speculators, The July delivery was _stronges again to-day, closing &t 86f@ ainst 803@3dlgc on Saturday, while August gained 1-16c and September lost _the same small fraction of the Saturday's final quotations, the respective closing fguros to- ay being Avgust iic and_ Septembor 16c, ats looked a trifle firm early on account of the recent rain _storm, but the demand proved light and_quictude ruled later, with price chabges nurrow and Insigniticaat. The ecrease in tho visible during the past week exerted no apparent mfluence, nor did the liberal lowering of the local stock by a few Dids of 22%c made for July on account of utstanding shorts, and September sold at 13%@22. No. 2 white for next montn went &t 530 and rogular at 2. A few cars of No. S outs wero sent to store at the former figure of 22i¢c, and trading by cash lots was chiefly by sample. In provisions, the weakness lately wit- nessed was continued. Hogs were received in this city and at other pomnts in larger num bors than was expected, and_the market ap. peared to drop down from its own weignt. Thnoere was no concert of action upou the part of the bears, yet the selling was freor, ofterings cousisting mainly of stop order holding and property on which the margin deposits had becn absorbed. The general spoculative trade kept within conservative simits and dia litle more than @ scalping business, In pork, the day’s actual decline was 10¢, in lard 5c, and in short ribs 7:{@10c. CHICAGO LIVE BTOCK. Cnicaco, July 20.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bes. |—Carrie.—Prime native cattle were scaroe and in good demand and strong to 10¢ higher. There were about 10,000 na- tives of all kinds and 4,000 Texan Any- thing competing with Texans and rangers ruled slow to weak avd the best that buyers took of Texans and rangers made about the same price as last weck. Native butchers' stock, especially common and canning cows, were down nearly to the low-water mark and are liavle to o remain until latc in the fall or until & let-up in the run of Texans.

At the close speculators had s large number on hand and Eflkun were filling their orders at & strong lower than at the opening. Common and rough packers sold at $4.10(@4.20, and good, heavy mixed at 4.25@4.80, with the best beavy at $4.55, light mixed $4.40@4.45 and luorl.ed llfi'lll at $3.00@4.05, with singe sorts 10 coBt $4.75(@4.80. — FINANCIAL. NEW Yonx, July 20.—|Special Telegram to Tuw Bee |—S1ocks—As the week closed with the lines closely drawn between the bull and bear parties in stock conditions, it favored a dull opening for this week. It is conceded thut gold shipments are over for the season and that grain and othier products will now go wbroad. Commission houses sent out very conservative lotters Saturday night and the room was conservatively bull- i8h this morning. The opening was slow but strong. Reading was taken for Philadelpbia mccount and grangers by Chicago parties. The amount of business dono in the first bour was in all probability the smallest at that time of the day for over a year, The opening prices were gonerally slightly higher than Saturday's closing figures, hut there ‘was 1o life in the marketand the subsequent dealiugs were entirely devoid of feature in the general list and movements were scarcely perceptible. Chesapeake & Ohio stocks, bowever, were again active snd decidedly strong, common at its highest point showing # galn of 1, firat preferred 13 and second preferred 1) per cenw. Atchison aud Clu- ongo, Columbus, Cincinnati & St. Louis both showed some strength in early dealings, but both reacted later in the hoar. Trusts were as dull as railroad stocks, Up to noon the changes throughout the list were insignifi- cant, The dullness in stocks, if anything, incrensed about midday, the early animation being in Reading, Missouri Pacific, St. Paul sago, Columbus, Cincinuati & St. Lou and Chesapeake & Ohio, Chicago, Colum- bus, Cincinnati & St. Lows preferred moved up above par and Chesapeake & Ohio first preforred rosoe from 623 to 6334, but theso were the only movements in the list, though a somewhat better tone provailed than dur- {ng the morning hours, The closing hours brought no changes of importauce. Reading went off to 023, closing at 63, or 3 ver cent not loss. Atchison, Burlington, St. Paul, Union Pacific and Northern Pacific pre- ferred showed gains of L per cent at the close.

Moxpa, . While there was not much sbap to the trade in beef cattle, 8 geod wany had changed hands before the close. There were seventy-eight fresh loads of cattle, of which about one-fourth were westerns, The qual- ity of the grass westerns was not very good, and the buyers were iaclined to neglect them. Among the natives there were some very choico beeves. Tte prices paid were about steady with Ssturday on desirable grades, but the commoner kinds were slow and in some cases S lower. The native beeves sold at §1.575@4.10, but llrgely at $10035.05, Some westerns went at §3.50 3.60, and some nn?l steers sold at §2.i 265, The quality of the butchers' stock was uok very good and the supply moderate. | There were no strictly dry fod cows on sale. as there wore hore sold large , with canners at £1.20@1.05.

The German Empire does not pay its functionaries on our absurdly-extrava- gant scale, says the London Truth. Prince Bismarck receives £2,700 a ycar and a residence. The foreign secretary gets £2,600, including free quarters; the state secretary £1,800, including free quarters; the state sccretary of the im- perial court of justice £1,200 and a house; the state secretary of the im- perial troasury £1,000 and a house; the state postmasier gencral £1,200 and a house; the minister of war £1,200, with a house, fuel and rations for eight horses; the chiefof the admiralty £1,800, with ‘& house; the chief of the general staff £1,600, a house, and rations for six horses. Fourte manding generals get £1,500 eac free furnished quarters and rations for eight horses. With regard to amn- bassadors, these in London and St. Petersburg are paid £7,500 cach; those Vienna, Constantinople and £6,000 each. Of ministe £ paid at Brussels, £2,600 at Bucharest, £2,400 at the Hague, £2,700 at Madrid, £8,150 at Washington, £2,000 at Stock- bolm, £2,500 at Teheran and £2,25 Yeddo. Compare all these figures with our scale, and 1 am sure that neither our ministers nor our diplomatists are more efficient than those of Gavmany. THE REALTY MARKET.

The New York Commercial Adver- tiser has stirred up a hornet’s nest by printing the description of Washington, given by David Ackerson in 1811, says the Atlanta Constitution. Aekerson knew Washington well, and must haye known what he was about when he said that the general on rising every morn- ing took a drink of rum or whisky. But a prohibitionist writes to the Aver- tiser denouncing Ackerson as a liar. He says: “From what we know ol the character of Washington it is impossi- ble for us to believe thatso great and 0od a man would touch, taste, or hun- le, much less drink alcohol, that poi- sonous dram of the devil, and I hereby brand Ackerson as an unmitigated Lar.” This is strong language. A glance at the **Washington papers” and the list of the articles Washington asked Edmund Randolph to send him would have caused the correspondent of the Advertiser to hold his peace. The fact is, great and good men in olden times occasionally took their dram, and one of the grand and best wen of these days, whose voice is often raised for prohibition, takes, according to his son’s statement, seven ounces of alcohol per day. It won't do to deny a man’s greatness or goodness simply because he has his own ideas about diet and drink. It is not on record that \Wash- ington’s morning nip harmed him or any one el - SHROEDER & DEAN, GRALIN, Provisions £ Stocks Basement First National Bank, 505 Southi3th Sireet, - Omaha GMAHA' NANUFACTURERS, T Boote and Shoos.
