DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 1. 1880 TWENTY-FOUK PAGES, * “THE CONDITION OF TRADE. _yolume being Bupply of Money Hqual to thé De- mand. COLLECTIONS REPORTED FAIR. General Trade Excellent—The Lead- ing Grades of Sugar Scarce and Firm—Dry Goods and Hard- ware Active. In Local Trade Circles. The clearings of the banks of Omaha for the weok past footed up 3,434 477.71, and the balances £611,990,01. Money continues in supply equal to the demand, which is quite nctive, and when the country calls for money in earnest for crop purposes there will surely be more of a stringency than has yet been felt, but so long as the secretary of the treasury stands ready to act as in the past ana relieve the castern markots by bond purchases there need be no foar of financial trouble. Collections are fairly good, and it fs eoyident ‘that _ with the certainty of heavy crops the country will be in excellent condition to meet. its engagements promptly the balance of the year. Trade is most excellent and as a rule our fobbers are unable to keep up with orders received. Prices are vory steady. Dried and canned fruits, especially peaches and apri- cots are higher. Lemons are advancing and quotable at $5.75@6.00, Sugars are very tirm and scarce in the leading grades with strone demand and a general feeling pre- valent that higher prices will prevail. Cof- fees are also higher and tending upwards. Dry goods and hardware are very active und the sale footings in these lines are very satisfactory to jobbers. Lumber 1s rather dull, but there is a fair demand and a better trade is looked for. The expore of produce and other merchan- dise from the United States during July were 15 per cent larger than those of the cor- responding tiine last year, and tho imvorts increased 19 per cent. Thus far in the month of August the imports are nearly 25 per cent greater than for the same time last year, the phenomenal in magnitude. Railroad earnings this month show an in- crease of about 9 per cent, and the bank clearings of interior cities far exceed those of last year, which were the iargest in the record up to that time, In otherwords, both our foreign and domestic trade are active. The crops are moving freely, which encour- sges mao _facturers and merchants to pro- pare for a flourishing business, and has al- ready led to a rather marked increase in the buying of goods by interior consumers. It ‘would be difficult to point to a previous sum- mer with & more healthy business record, as there 1s scarcely any speculative inflation except in the trusts, and even they seem to have passed the maximum point of popular confidence. The total of capital and debt of the rail- roads of this country now amounts to not far from $10,000,000. Mackerel are scarce and high. Since Jan- uary 1 the NEW England flect has landea, all told, only 4,245 bbls of salt mackerel, against 14,759 bbls in the same time last year, 26,941 bbis in 1887, and 34,970 in 18%6. The imports at Boston from the British provinces this year stand at 14,275 bbls, as compared with 14,846 bbls for the same period last year, 26,430 bbls i the same time in 1857, and 15,884 bbls in 1886, Special reports to the New England Home- stead say that the apple crop this year will be comparatively short all over the country in comparison with last year, which was ex- ceptionally heavy. The English crops are also reported light, and a good healthy ex- rt_tradeis expected this autumn. Now ‘ngland, New,¥ork, Michigan and the prin- clpu apple-growing sections of the adjacent states are unly 65 per cont of a full standard agains; 74 cent .at, the same time last yoar-and U5 per cent two years ago. Claus Spreckel’s big refinery will, 1t is re- ported, be completed and in running order October 1. It was expected that it would be finished this month. Augustus Spreckels, who has charge of the Philadelphia business, says they will turn out about 1,000 tons of sugar a day. This is equivalent'to 2,000,000 pounds or 7,000 barrels, Taey will empl about 600 men. When the refinery is fi ished its counterpart will be erected right alongside of it, increasing the capacity to 2,000 tons a day. The refinery the firm has in San Francisco only has @ capacity of 500 tons daily. The New York Commercial Bulletin states that for prime, ring-cut evaporated apples new crop, 7c is bid for October delivery. The price, however, is said to be below the ideas of evaporators. Chicago’s stock of flaxseed at the pi time amounts to 54,113 bushels, against 60,30 ‘bushels on the 17th inst., and 46,122 bushels at this date last yoar. In the United States grain culture now covers about 150,000,000 acres, of which about B1 per cent is in maize, 20 per cent wheat, 18 per cent oats, and 5 per cent barley aud rye. ‘The St. Paul Pioneer Press says the entire ‘wheat crop for Minnesota, Wisconsin, Towa and North and South Dakota will be about 115,000,000 bushels. he wheat crop is secured, the corn crop is almost certain, and now comes the daily favorable reports from the cotton sections, ‘The stocks of wheat and corn at twenty- one leading mterior and seaboard markoets east of the Rocky mountains, in transit from the west to the seaboard, and afloat on the ocean, destined for (ireat Britain and conti- nental Europe, on the dates named, were as follows: Wheat, bu, U. 8. east of Rockies 14,205,000 Afloat on oceun—U.

Saturday, August 81, Tho break in the market and the demoral- fzation of the past ten days or two weeks has had its effect in cutting down cattle re- ceipts in all the leading markets. The re- coipts here were not large but they were three or four Limes as many as at any of the large markets. The market here has not boen quito so low any of the Lme as at other points, and thav may in part account for the more liberal receipts here. 'There was cer- tainly 8 more encouraging sspect to the eat- tle market, and the trade looked brighter than for several days.

DISTANT FUTURES CLOSE HIGHER ‘Weakness Again Provails in the Corn Pit — Provision latorest Oon- fined to Pork — Hogs Ac- tive—Onotation, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS. Cnicaao, August 31.—[Spoecial Telogram to Tue Bre.—The wheat market recovered part of the ground lost yosterday: and dur- ing most of tho session ruled fairly steady, closing higher on distant futures, with a light trade passing toward the last. Trading around the opening was on a basis of 77¢ for September, 7Sc for December and 82ige for May. Docember settled back to T8¥@ , and May to §2%c, From this range the market advanced to 79! for Decomber and 82%¢c for Muy. Decemoer clung o the close to 70¢, favoring the lower -side ‘rather than the upper, but meeting with- good sup< port every time the market looked wealk, Toward the end of the session @ firmer coloring was given values ‘aud prices touched the top again. December touched ¢c and May 83¢. 'Che last quotations were 7170 for September, T8{@70e for December, and 823¢@83%c for May. These figures re- cord an average advauce of 1{@l5c as com- pared with yesterday. Dunn had a very bullish dispatch trom New York, and during the forenoon & number of telegrams from New York containing estimates of the world’s supplies and _requircments were re- ceived here. The views advanced may be described in general terms as the ‘‘threshing over of old straw,” no new data or fresh noews being given. As individual opinions of divers and sundry writers more or less informed about the world's crops and tho world's needs, they may be worth a moment's consideration, but the prevailing sentiment seems to be that noue of thess would, at this day of popular enlightenment or benightedness, do to swear by. What- ever of strength the market hos is due to miscellaneous guessing on the general re- suits, to the palpable presence of & good shipping and home demand for wheat, light available supplies and a singular reluctance on the part of the original owners to dump their wheat at buyers’ prices, the visible supply this week is not likely to show an increase to exceod 500, 000 bushels and some are talking of an actual decrease. . It is hardly probable that the latter theory will be confirmed. TLast year the visible increased more than 200,000 bushels. The wenkness in the corn market con- tinued, and the lowest point yet touched on the crop was reacheda to-day. The almost assured safety of the greater part of the present crop was the cause of the downward tendency of prices, and much long stuff was thrown upon the market. -Foreign advices were discouraging, export clearances were small and both ocean and lake freights havo an advancing tendency. September corn opened at 831c, sold at 82%c and closed at 331¢c, or ke lower than yesterduy. Oats were less active, though averaging weaker on future account, with the general conditions of the market repeated. Prico changes were narrow, with a fair demand for Muy at 223{@227(c, indicating a slightly improved toue, while a good many Septem- ber and October long oats again came out, which carried prices downward @%c, next month touching 19¢ und subsequently recov- ering a small fraction. No. 2 regular sold chiefly at 19c, with special houses at a pre- mium, and seiler August closed nominal. ?n.} white, August, for dolivery -sold at 13¢c. an provision circles the interest developed was again confined to pork. In that article the opening was strong and at much higher prices than yesterday’s closing, aund betore any special reaction took place a further ad- vance of 80@37}{c occurred in September and October futures. When the top figures were reached—or $11.35 for September and $11.37}¢ for Octobe unusual as well as an unexpected desire was shown to sell. Packers aside from the English houses al- ready in the “soup,” swamped the market with their offerings. They sold right and loft, and, as the buying fell off with the increase in the supplies of the property de-: sired, deliveries went off rapidly. On the break September sold off $1.10 and October $1.1214, and both months closed only 150 above the day’s lowest noteh, or at $10.40. “This price was #5c*under yesterday’s ~clos- e entiro range for Seplembor was .35, and for October $10.35@1187}, the formor openlng at $11.05 und Octobor b $11.10. The trading, though of smaller vol- ume than yesterday, was accompanied by great excitement. ~Hutchinson and Arm our were again regarded as manipulators snd their movements were watched closely. January pork was stronger; 1t was ndvmwm.l 7ige and closed with buyers bidding $0.23 Lrd and short ribs_were mot particularly disturbed by the wila deal in pork. They held their own remarkably well, were traded in fairly and covered only moderate limits in their fluctuation. The day’s actual changes in prices were confined to advances of 2io in September and October lard, and a de- cline of 23gcin Septomber short ribs.

New Yok, August 8L,—|Special Telegram to Tus BEk. |—S10cKks—The opinions of lead- ing operators, as expressed after the close of the stock business yesterday, were that the ‘week would close without any let up iu the bull campaign further than some realizing av the last hour.

There are about ten firms that are doing the bulk of the real estate husiness in Omaba.” The wes who did & fictitious business a few years ago are rapidly going out of existence or confining their business to reating and The Drovers' aflont, H5Y @ | hmk'rue denls, leaving the lnrm\lt part ot the husiness to firms that have ample finan- oial backitg, and' capable of buying the properiy outright and profitng by the ad- vance in values, These firms are workin together, and have about formed an organi- zation the object of which will be to induce castern capital to seek investments here. One of the prime movers of the scheme said toa Bre representativo: “No man ever came to Omaha who was not pleased and surprised at the city’s wonderful growth and prospects. hat we ‘want is to t the capitalists and manufacturers us.

Graln and Provision Operators Ask- ing Financial Favors. THE BANKS MAINTAIN RATES. Big Bond Purchases Throw Consid erable Money in Clrculation—In- oreased Stock Transactions— More Interest in Grain. A Resumo of the Country. Cnrcaco, August 81.—[Special Telogram to Tie Bre.]—The near approach of tho 1st of the month has called out an increased do- mand for money from operators in grain and provisions, who wish to propare for their regular monthly setlement. There also has been an increased call for loans from grain men at other leading westorn points of accumulation, who expect to handie a largo quantity of grain next month, and who desire money to check agamnst. The mercantile trade has also been a liboral borrower. Rates remain steady at 5@5kg er ceht for call and 6@ per cent on time loans, and although the banks have a liberal supply. of funds, they showed no disposition to grant any conoes- sion in rates, as the time has arrived wken they will require all their surplus, and they are not disposed to let their money out at low rates when they can probably get higher ones, The financial situation at the east has been rather uusettied and the market has shown considerable stringency. The secre- tary of the treasury, by purchasing over 14,000,000 of borids during the week, has put a large amount of money into circulation and to a ereat extint relieved the fears of people who anticipated a sharp calling in of loans. The situation is such that the rates at present in force will be well maintaned even though the treasury should continue to purchase bonds on its present 1itberal scale, as the situation is such that the banks have arge amounts loaned on stocks that they can not call in without having a disasteous ef- fect. In London the feeling is fivm, and dis- count rates of the Bank of England advanced from 8tod per cent. New York exchange was quiet but firmer, with sales during most of the ieek at 25 cents discount to par per §1,000 and closed wealk at 95 cents discount. Foreign exchange was in large supply. due to the mcreased shipments of wrain, und a ‘weaker feeling prevailed early and prices aeclined. Later the market became firmer and rates -were advauced sharply. Shippers sixty-day documentary bills on London sold at $481}§@482)§ and closed at $1.821¢. The mercantile jobbing trade is active and the distribution of goods wason a liberal scale. Orders have been 80 numerous that employes have been obliged to work pights to keep up with their orde: The New York stock market exhibited a decideda increaso in the volume of transac- tions and a higher range of prices was 1 corded on all properties deait in, ‘‘callers’ especially being pranounced ' for their strength, and Delaware & Hudson and Jer- scy Central reached the highest prices in their history. ‘Phe improvoment was due to free purchases of bonds by the seeretary of the treasury, which went far toward cas- ing the money market and gave the buils the courage to take bold. The restoration of rates in the northwest by the withdrawal of the taniff put into force a short time ago by the Chicago, Burlington & Northern also had a beneficial effect. Favorable crop news irom the west and large carnings also acted as an important factor in advancing prices. Northern Pacific was a proment feature, as the Villard party were credited with having _formed anew “bull” pool and wore heavy buyers. Railroad carnings are also showing up heavily and adividend was prom- ised on preferred during the coming winter. Foreigners were good buyers and also as- sisted in forciog prices upward. There was heavy realizing on the advances,and although good recessions followed, the dlose recorded good guins over the close of last week, The bond market developed mora animation and strengch, The total sales on the New York slock exchange for the week aggregated 1,343,200 shares. Rather more interest was manifested in the ieading grain markets during the week just closed and speculative trading was quite active, tiough fluctuations in prices were confined within a compara narrow range. The reportof the Vienna conpress on the wheat crop of the world, however, stimulated trading in that grains were quite active, with pr ing in buyers' favor. Receipts of gr liveral of all kinds and shipments _ were lib eral, mainly by the lake route. Arrivals at smaller statious were fairly large, as farm- ers are busily engaged in threshing their small grain. _ The weatlior in the west hos been warm throughout the week—fayorable for growing corn and for farm work. ‘Tne weather abroad also was more favorable. The course of the foreign markets reflected little change in the prices of leading cereals, The expott movement of grain_was quite_active, especially from the Atlantic coast. In the 'shipping branch of the trade there was considerable business transacted, wheat and corz being purchased with considerable freedom, notwithstanding the firmness 10 freights. In provisions trading was active, with more strength developed in speculative art- icles, accompanied with a high range of b - n were ds were active and prices ruled lower on most descriptions excepting flax. Recoipts of hogs, cattle and sheep were liveral, with prices fairly weli supparted Packing in the west is graduaily enl and now skows an increase of about cent. Weekly K Statement.
