' s R o THE (0N CONI)]TIO‘J OF TRADE. A Good Incroue Noted in Omaha's Bank Clearings. AN ACTIVE DEMAND FOR MONEY. @General Trade Continues to Improve and Jobvers Report an Excellent Vutlook For Good Trade in the ¥all A Summary of Loeal Business. ‘Mr. Hughes, manager of the Omaha clear- Ing house, reports the clearings for the week at $4,493,181.64, an increase of 81 810 per cent over the samo period in 1558, and bankors re. port an nctive demaud for mouey, with a somewhat tighter market, and it seems cer- tain that the demands of traders will absorb the loanable supply eariier than usual this fall McCague Brothors have about completed their arrangements to open another national bank in Omaba with $200,000 paid up capital, and the stock has beon placed and the woney therefor is in hand. The Bank of Com- merce did not, it is understood, pass ‘wholly unscathed through the hands of the state examiners, but the directors sav they have met the requirements of tie board and put the bank into first-class shupe, and as there never has been any doubt of their abil- ity to do so, it may now be taken for granted that all of Omaha’s financial institutions are up to the market, safe and solvent. At the present time the gold certificates in eirculation amount to um‘mu.:uu‘ and the silver certificates to £250,412,821." The United States treasury now holds $300,777,476 of gold coln and bullion, und #285,603,668 of silver dollars and bullion. The average price at the anthracite coal mines for the month of June was $2.39, against $2.93 lust year. General trade continues to improve and interviews with leading jobbers in various lines dovelops the fact that the distribution of goods to date is largely in exce previous year, and the outiook is zood for a very heavy fall trade. Prices aro_steady. Sugar still sags, and is weak. Coffees aro stronger and Rios advanced ¢c per pound Friday. Mackerel are very scarce and high. The crop prospects are very encouraging and foreign advices point to an increased de- mand from abroad on account of the falure of crops in eastern Europe and India. Real estate shows more activity, and the building trades, having settled their petty quarrels, this branch of industry display great activity and the movement is favor- ably folt by the retailers of the city, who re- port very good demand and a noticeuble increase in sales. The total value of the foreign imports of merchandise at New York for the week end- ng July 27 was $194,131 in_excess of the pre- vious week. Dry goods showed an increase of §714,840, while general merchandise de- creased’ $230,700. The total imports into New York for 1839 to July 27 were $201.4: 473, against $270,414,452 10 1558 and $723! 562'in 1857, and the exports of specie since January 1, 1880, were $7,621415, aod the imports $1,220.353, "o California fruit market is gradually assuming more extensive proportions. [Ihe receipts in Chicago average eight cars per day. These are sold without reserve by the two suction companies. In addition to the regular arrivals there have been a number of cars received by freight. The jelly market is on therise. The trust and outside manufacturers are working without friction, aud s the two interests do not clash the increasing demand admits the obtaining of higher valu Large sales have been made at 8¢, but 3'4c 18 now quoted about bottom for realiy good kinds. According to reports the run of salmon on the Columbia is very poor und best author- ities do not expect the puck to be over 300,000 cases to August 1, which would show a d. creass as compared with 1853 of about 60,000 cases. ‘The manufacture of pickles is one of the few industries in the United States, says the Chicago grocer, that has not fallen into the hands of a trust. Last season the market was very much demoralized by an over production, and prices have been in the neighborhood of rock bottom ever since. The amount of stock held over, while not large euough to cause any alarm just, yot, may be an import- ant item'in a few weeks when a definite idea can be formed of the mataring crop. So far a8 can be learned the crop will be equal to that of last year. Receipts of both cod and mackerel con- tinue light on the Atlantic coast and prices are firm. ‘Che demand is very slow com- ared with the same time last year, and it jooks very much as though something else was taking the place of salt fish with con- sumers. Consumers of rice will be glad to hear that the Louisiana rice crop is doing splendidly a8 an entirety, and if present waather con- tinues the crop s likely to be the largest ver produced within the borders of that state. Prices are reasonably low and sales of domestic rice are fairly large. Coffee is weak, the outlook promising a full crop. The' Brazillian estimates of & short crop this year began to be promulgated when the coffee trees were in bloom aad bave persistently been kept up, but they ‘were so manifestly given out for speculative effect that they failed to be fully convineing. The consumption of coffee in Burope and the United States during the last twelve months 18 placed at 9,247,968 bags, against 5,052,220 the year before. Mr. Fowler, of Dan Talmages Sons, is in the city and reports that tho prospects for cheap rice, both foreign and domestic, uro yery «ood, and that prices will go lower than for yeurs, The auction sales of California fruits are to be continued, aud the next will occur Au- ust 5, when fifty-six lots will be sold by Paycko 13ros. Compun, briitiee OMAHA LIVE STOOK. Catcle. Saturday, August 8. There was not much to say about the trade In cattle. Desirable beeves sold at strong {‘ rices, sud the trade in such was fairly ac- ve. The quality of the cattle was pretty g00d, und there was one bunch good enough to bring $4.90. The beef and shipving steers sold at $3.70@4.80, but largely at $3.50(04.10, A few corn-fad Texans brought 83, Butehers' stock was very scarce and tnere was hurdly enough to cut uch figure in the market. ‘There was some trading in feeders, and as high as ¥3.00 was paid for one bunch. The demand appears to be largely for zood cattle of that kind, but the supply is light. Hogs. There wus not much change in the hog market, values remaining very wmuch Lhc same, but there was an easior feeliug preva lent in the trade. ‘The shipping demand was g;-n_y fair, and Boston and Indianapolis ught about half of the hogs. The Lignt hogs sold principally at §1.15@4.W}§, the heaviest buyer reporting his string cost- ing 2 loss than yesterday, but the quality 80 good. The late arrivals were low sale, and it was impossible to get 85 SLrONg prices us in the morning, $4.10 being about all the packers would pay.

THE SPECULATIVE NARKETS. Wheat Averages Steady With Only a Moderate Business. CASH CORN IN GOOD DEMAND. The Bear Side in Provisions Regarded With the Greatest Favor—Very Few Prime Cattle Among the Arrivala CRICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Ciicaco, August 3.—[Spocial Telogram to Tne Bee]—The wheat market averaged steady to-day and only & moderate specula- tive business was done. Operations in the cash wheat market were on 8 large scale, however, just how large nobody seems able to correctly or authoritatively state. At one time it was advised, “on the quiet,” that new business to the extent of 500, 000 bushels had been or was in process of being worked. Later in the day the amount was reduced to 250,000 bushels, and was supplemented by the stato ment that vessel room had been worked for 500,000 bushels yestorday and to-day. As charters were reported yesterday for 221,000 bushols and 106,000 bushels to-day this later may bo accepted s approximately correct. Baker, Seckol, Harvey & Co. and Bartlett Frazer were named s the principal bidders for cash wheat, and the price paid was @ above August as a rule Wheat seemed to be wanted badly. Most of this is through business. Cables leaned to the bull side. The weather in England is not keeping as flne as was reported, and prices are quoted as steady and in some cases highor. Asido from the activity in the cash wheat market, local and general domestic influences are bearish. Crop and harvest advices from the northwest are comin 1 better all the time. Harvesting is progressing satisfactorily, and as the farmers as a class are hard up this year, they are making ready to market their crops with as little delay as possible. Handlers of spring wheat here and through the northwest are making ar- rangements for a big early harvest of grain if the weather keeps good. Parties who are making a tour of Dakota and Minnesota are sending in the most favorable kind of re- ports of the yield of wheat and the prospects for oats, corn and barley. The weather in the winter wheat country is improving, and except in the south indications point to fair, warmer weather without many showers for the next few days. If theso promises are fulfilled an increased move- ment of wheat should naturally follow. De- cember started in at_78%e, sold down to é and up again to ¢, holding steady and dull around 78%¢c and 78%c during the or purt of tho day. At last it_went to Sdge@Tsige, then closed &t e or i with yesterday, September opened at _T0ige, sold down ‘to 70, and up to_7 closing at 76%c. August openad at 763;¢, sold off to 76%c, up to 7 and closed at T63@TTe. As bofore remarked, Cush 8>l at o promium over August, aud ono commission house reported sales of No. 8 to arrive this month within %c of the No. 2 price. A year ago there was u wide differ. ence between grades in prices. Sales of 0 busliels of No. ¢ instore were roported at T7c. There was a good demand for cash corn, but at a lower range of prices than on Fri- day, and in the speculative market the foel- ing was decidedly weak, and trading was not There is a growing umount of confl- ¢ inthe prospects for the next crop, (hich, added 10 the increasiag prosont sup- a weaker feeling. Ex- plies, y Dort' ‘inquiey leeps up to its former level, and the consumptive demand from Now England and other do- aestic points is Mirewiso liberal and. conting- ous, while togetner they have so far kept down the visible supply to modest propor- tions in the face of the free movement from the country points. Pric ffered another slump, resulting from per bushel, ‘August closing at 855@i53(¢, against 3615¢ . and September at’ 855{c, aguinst s on thoe preceding day. Tn oats another active day in the specula- tive branch was noted, with recent influences again brought to bear ana prices exhibiting a further modest recession from ¢ to lse. Outside selling orders were liberal, with trado chiefly n’ September and May. The sample market ~was ugain unsettled and lower. Receipts were large, while local stocks showed but little reduction. September was down to 20%{c, with December touching 22 and May declining to 4. No. 3 white oats were dull and No. 2 regular sold early at 21e, but closed easy at ‘u}flc In provisions the bear side was regarded with the greatest favor. Lard was rela- tively the strongest article on the list, but in general trado the underlying feeling was one of wenkness. The monthly stock showing a gain, made the bear contingent ag gressive, and in short ribs particulurly skers appeared to be willing to supply the wants of buyers. Short ribs, n fact, were the center of interest and rather Tod the market. They opened at about yesterday’s closing, sold off steadily and closed ata decline of Ti¢@l0c. Pork suffered a de- preciation of e, and lard about 2!gc. CHICAGO LIVE STOOA. 1 to CuicaGo, August 3. —[Special Telegram to Tne Bee. i—Carrie.—There was scarcely a load of prime steers among the arrivals to- day, and only a few lots of good and useful. Nearly everything in the native line was sold. The general warket ciosed steady. About 1,000 Texaus were among the receipts also, about all of which were sold, closing rather stronger than yesterday. Native butchers' stock was = well sold ous and realized as good prices as any day this week. Little or nothing was going on in the stocker and feeder trades prices are low and trade slow. Beevos, 24.80; cows, §1.60 .00 stockers, 75; Texas steers, $2.25@3.00, Trade was rather slow and the general market a nickel lower than yester- day ovthe close, Packers bought in_their stock at $4.15@4.25, and shippers at $1.30@ 435, Light sorts sold early at $4.55. FINANCIAL. New York, August 8.—|Special Telogram to Tne Brek.|—Stocks—The sluggish mar- ket of Friduy left the situation so devoid of interest that but fow traders discussed the market ut the usual resorts last might. Wherever an expression could be heard it indicated a bullish temper., Thero was no bear demonstration anywhere, The advance in monvy rates was attributed to the with- drawal by the banks and trust companis of funds to strengthen balances, and, as the liv- tle flurry in money had no effect in weaken- ing stocks, the bull party claimed a further victory. Chicago advices were full of argu- wents that the conditions warrant better prices in St. Paul, Burlington, Northwestern and like shares. When the market opened to-day the number of traders was limited, and those present were not disposed to trade. It is a holiday in London and other cities are slow to send orders, The locat scalpors felt safe to sell stock short, but commission people take offeriugs readily The sugar trust was again very active, and among the regular list St. Paul, Missouri Pacifio, Reading, Atchison and Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati & St. Louis took the load, the others being dull and gencrally stagnant witbout any feature of any kind. There was a rally in the early dealings and prices were brought up to last ni bv's fig ures and in some cases a shude boyond, as in the case of Reading and Atchison, each of which rose % per cent. Cleveland, Colum. bu (.mclnmm & St. Louis was the strong- est stock on the regular list aud rose % per cent. Suxar was the feature of the dealings, and on large business rapidly rose from 113 to 11 but afterward reacted a fraction, The wnhmn undmmk a drive in nnrllna- ton, but they quickly 60k fright and that stock went strongly up to a better figure than was reached on iy advance yesterday. The stock market closedt strong without any special activity. The brilliant crop outlook, the favorable bank statement and fairly good buying orders gaye a feoling of confl- dence on the bull side.

Still there are evidences of activity in certain directions thateven hot weather ‘can’t entirely suppress. There have been 80 many promises made by the motor, cable and other street ralway com- panies that are yet unfulfilled that people on the line of the proposed improvements demand ocular proof of thes good faith of these providers of transportation before they make any every liberal inveatments in outlying property., The most skeptical are now preity well convinced that the motor line ‘will be extended to South Omaha, and, " as @ result there is an increased demand for lats in the handsomest residence portion of tha city, the vicinity of Summit park. A number of plans are al- ready being proposed for a fine class of resi- dences in this locality. The probable location of a tannery near West Side has started a littie” boom in property in that locality. The most im- portant movement of the week, however, was the decision of the KEast Omaba Land company to take decided action toward the improvement of the Cut-Off island property. Eleventh street will be paved and wany of the streets on the island orought to grade. The object of the improvement is to have building room in readiness to supply ch e;’t homes for laboring men, who will be needed for the operation of the lnunufwkwnu thav will be lucated on this company’s property during the coming year.

NO VERY The New York Stock Market Dullop Than During the Preceding 8ix Days—Good Interast in Grain Trading. A Resume of the Country. Cireaco, August Special Telegram to Tue Bre |—~Thore has been a fairly active call for loans at the banks, but the genoral conditions surrounding the monoy market cannot be <aid to have undergono any change of inportance, Tho morcautile trade continuesto be the largest borrower, and the grain trado is also asking for moro uccommodations, and their wants will in. crease from this time forward, as the now crop of wheat and 0ats bexing to move more freoly. laterior banke however, have not asked for as many g the weok as they did the provious one. This is probably due to the fact that they have already secured ood no- commodations and have not boen called upon to use them s quickly as oxpected. ments of currency 1o the intarior to move corn and live stock were on & modorato scale, but from this umo forward the move: ment to agrioultural distric steadily fmprove. Thero s moro commercial paper secking to bo discounted. The street is huving a good supply and 18 placing it at 4125 por cent. Over the counter ratos remain stoady at 5@ por cont for call loans. A few banks name 6 per cent as their lowost call rate and claim shat they huve their balances closely loaned up. Timo loans ranged at 6@s per cent. The recent hewvy failures in the east, and parti- cularly in Boston, will have a tendency to muke bankers and investors in commorcial paper more cautious about the churacter of the paper they handle, but it is not thought it will create any stringency in the mouney market. At New York the feeling is firm and rates steaay. Now York exchange met a better demand at the opening of the week and rates advanced to 25c per annum per §1,000, but later the iuquiry fell off and sales were made at 40¢ discount and closed with 25 cents bid. Foreign exchange wenkened 4@ on increased offer- ings, and sales of documentary stirling bills on London were made at $1.533¢ @454, the close being at the insiae. The New York stock market was duller than during tho preceding week, and the features doveloped were for the most part unimportant, bence the fluctuations on the majority of the properties traded in wero confinea to a narrow rango. Loead trusts were heavy most of the time, being sold heavy by traders on the report that the is- sue of certificates had been increased to $1,000,000, which rumor lacked confirmation, Operators, howover, believed that a trust which could issue §2,000,000 and make the public think that only #52,000,000 of certifi- cates wera out was capable of doing most unything. Faith in them has been badly shaken, and the hquid- ation started several weeks ago continues insuflicient in volume to keep the market de- pressed, while the shares of other parties advanced, Chesupoake & Obio, or the new Vanderbilts, as they are now genorally cailed, were active but irregular, ‘‘Gran- gers” were traded in quite freely, and, with the exception of Atchison, which was weak most of the time, a stronger feeling was do- veloped and prices ranged higher. Chicago Gas sold off fresly on the report that the Phil- adeiphians who forinca the combination had entered another combine to pipe natural gas 10 this city, but the decline was recovered. Taking the list on the whole, the closing prices are slightly better t an the preceding weck. Sales oo the New York stock ex- nze aggregate 607,000 shares for the week. Con the I week Trading general way. sid ding vas manifested in t3 during the past has been quite active in a Rather more nervousness was exhibited. yet fluctuations were confined within ‘a_ comparatively mnar- row range.

The weatker has not been particularly favorable for harvesting ouerations, but is somewhat improved. Re- ports from all quarters confirm the good quality of the grain harvested. Advicos from ubrond are without material change, though somewhat conflicting, It is e that crops of all kinds of grain in twill not reach the ageregate yield of 1888 and hat importing countrios will have to devend on this country for & zood share of their sup- plies.
