THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1889, THE CONDITION OF TRADE. Local Monetary 8.tuation Reported as Virtually Unchanged. PLENTIFUL SUPPLY OF FUNDS. A Heavy Increase in Olearings and the Explanation Therefor—A Tendency to Higher Prices in Most Staples. In Lioeal Commercial Oirclen. The local mouetary situation is wirtually oochanged. I'here is a plenuful supply of loanable fands, with a fair demand from the eity and a very liberal call from the country for money to loan to stock feeaers, who find in the well filled granaries and equable cli- mate of Nebraska the two great necessities 10 insure them success in their ventures. Rates are firm at § to 10 per cent per annum, Exchange is very scarce, The clearings show a heavy increase, but this 18 partially due o the fact that bankers have porinitted their credits to acorue at the clearing house, hoping to have them settled in Chicago or New York exchango by the debtor banks, but the scarcity of exchange has been 80 greatthat the balances nave piled up abnor- mally. Mr. Hughes reports the clear- ings footings for the week $5,214,877.07, an increass of cent. The balances were Collections are pretty zood. Extensions uru asked for, but not so frequently as to create Alurm as to the situation among debtors in the country, and well-posted credit men do not admit that collections are slower than should bo exvected uuder the circumstances, when It is considered that prices for furmers' products are 80 low and that naturally the producer hesitates to ssll at less than cost, I'be fact that such large numbers of cattle and sheep as are reported coming to this state for winter feeding encourages creditors 10 velieve that while collections may be slow the ultimate satisfactory result is merely de- layed and that losses will be smaller on sales made this year than last. Prices are steady and in most staples a tendency to higher figures is noticeable. Sugars are strong and grauuluted is firm at 7i¢c. Roasted coffees are fully lge per pound higher, uader the influence of advices from Brazil, indicating political disturbances there and an embargo—temporarily at least—on shipments through the ports of that ewpire. Drica fruiis are steady and in active demand. Raisins, especially, are scarce and higher, Canned corn, tomatoes and fruits are unchanged. Hardware and lumber merchants report o fair trade and quotations steady. Nails and wire are very firin and likely to advance, The produce murkets have been uctive dur- ing the week, with a scarcity of eggs, and strictly fresh quoted av 20c per dozen, 1’oul- ry 18 in ood request and steady ut 9@103g0 ’ur choice chickens, common stock seiling at 2 3 @12¢c, ducks and le compu mwl_\ ‘The market for butter is weaker under heavy receipts, Fancy dairy bringing not over 14(@l6e, choice creamery 20@3lc, and a fuir to good article of table dairy 11@13c, with low grades taken by packers at 6@sc Gameis in active demand and prices are steady for birds and quotable at $4.00 to #4.50 for grouse and chickens, $3.00 to $3 50 for mallards.

Retuil trude h.s been very active in_ all lln?u, and city collections have improved as well, ¥I'he new barbed wira and nail trust will be known as the Iederal Steel company, with a capital of $10,000,000 ‘or $12,000.000, of which $5.000,000 to $6,000,000 will' represent the valueof the plants in the trust and the remainder will be water. The headquarters will be at Chicugo. Evaporated apples are lower in price, both Jocal und interior holders sceming 'more *inclined to meet exvort_offers. Prejudice against the goods in some markets, conse- quont upon seeming evidence of too free use of sulphir in curing doubtless affects the moveme:t 1o the Buropean markets, and the ‘comparative cheapness of old crop, sayng nothing of the relatively lower prices at which sun-dricd apples can be had, is not withouteffect. ‘The New York Commercial Bulletin states that export interest scems to center more on sun-dried fruit in kegs at 4@ 43¢0 as to quality, and some attention 18 also given quarters at 4!{@13gc. Between the suvply of mackerel from Great Britain, Norway and the bay fleot there seems to be enough fish for current WaDts, yet no great surplus, Advices from Baitimére are to the effcet that canned oysters can now be obtained at less than 90c¢ for five-ounce and $1.60 for ten- ouunce goods, ° The Louisiana Planter says of the New Orleans sugar market: “Clarified comes in more frecly than open-kettle, but for both kinds pur market has been firmer than we had reason to expect, in view of weakness elsowhere, aud the' demand remains suf- ficient to movewll receipts, Buyers claim that the assortment is not 80 good as lust year, but seem to have found little difficulty m tilling drders for yellow until within the last two day: The unnual report of the United States treasurer mentions the fact that during the flscal yeur ended June 80, 1889, thers was o decreuso of §41,000,000 in the national bank circalation, vhe largest reduction in ”:‘ly ear since this currency was first issue glnw 1883 there has been a decrease of §150,- 000,000, of which 100,000,000 was in the last threo years. The reduction is proceding steadily, ‘'he final extinction of the national bank circulation appears to be only a ques- tion of time untess some chavge is made in the basis of circulation, ‘The annual report of the British board of trade has lately been issued, showinz the capit ', trafic, and working expen s of the railroads of the United Kingaom for tho year 1858, At the close of that year the rlilroudl represented a leneth open for traMc of 19,813 miles and - total capitulization and debt of $4,825,000,000. This is equal to rather moro thau $218,000 capital per mile. In the United States 1833 closed with 156,032 miles of raroads completed and a total share capital and indebteduess of $0,300,~ xml. . This is equal to only $60,000 per wile, ‘The receipts of mackerel in Boston last month were 11,205 barrels, or about 45 per cent of the entira receipts for the vast niae months, It begins to look as though Europe ‘would make up for the shortage of the catch in American waters, In October last year the rem‘lnl-l \vnm 7,808 barrels, Nearly 500, fi)und- of dried apples were exported from th country during Septem- ber and a total of 16,357,650 pounds during the nine months ending Sevtember 30, In the first nine months of 1888 the exports were 5.15!\116 pounds, The imports of ralsins into the United sum durlng the nine mouths ending Sej ber 80, 1850, were, according to tl luthuu returns, 1,780,200 pounds, The total for the correspoading perlafl last year 18 18,214,725 pounds, Tmportations of plums .nd g-ruuun were 24,420,042 pounds, ugainst 000 pounds last year, I he New York Commercial Bulletin states that most reports from Baltimore are to the effect that 00 cents for five-ounce and Il. for ten-ounce oysters are bottom in but some suggest that 85 cents nd ;l ¥ cases. given 45 will yet remote The intmation that g:nhm think seviously of putting their ures L\P lA'l #1 and §1.70, owing to the al leged small recoipts of shell oysters.

Provisions Attract Moro Attention Than For Many Days—Usual Sat- urday Business in Oattle—Hogs Close Lower. MARKETS, % Cnicaco, Nov. [Special Telegram to Tur Beg,]—Wheat prices traveled over a considerable stretch of territory to-day, but the markot leaves off about where it did yes- terday. The attention of the tradeis now concentrated ciosely upon the movement— interior and export—and the eagor study of statistics is quite popular now among all classes. [t was noted with satisfaction by the bulls that Atlantic port clearances for he week were the largost of any woek since the beginning of the crob year, viz—$20,000 bushels of wheat and 814,000 packages of flour—equal in all to about 2,000,000 bushels, With equal complacency the bears are watch- ing the prolongation of the mighty movement of spring wheat in tho , northivest, the ex- hibit indicating an increase in Minneapolis and Duluth stocks to the ' extentof about 900,000 bushels, Tstimates of the visible increase range from 1,000, 000 to 1,500,000 bushels, us compared with 471,240 bushels last year. The local market started in steady, with Decem- ber quoted at 823 and May at 85/¢e. De- cember went at once to 82%c and May to 853ge. ‘There was heavy concentrated sell- ing at the top gud the market worked down to 82'gc and tively, It then re- acted to 8 e, from which point there was o slump to 81'4¢ and 843gc around the bottom. Hutclinson, who had been a free seller on the advance, turned buyer and there was also general scattered buying of all active future During the last hour of the session the market bresented a firm and even strong iront, establishing an ad- vance of May and {c in December from tho inside figures of the day. ‘The last quotations were Slige for November, 52ic for December and 8¥c for May. On the whole .a g00d busincss transacted and the mar- ket seoms to @ healthy tone. Near futures in corn suffered from the im- provement in the weather, which was giving indications of accelerating the movement of the new crop. ‘The market for cash corn was weaker, and the local crowd bear- ish and sold December corn with great free- dom and persistence. May was weak also, put appeared less 80 than necar deliveries and had a good many friends at &3 al- though it iu the end gave way and yielded J¢e below that figure. Apart from the ex- pectation of heavier deliveries of new corn and the near approach of the closing of lake navigation, thore were no outside influences bearing upon prices adversely. Forcign marikets were stronz and the shipping move- ment from nere is merely by the offorings -~ of shipp] arcels. rember corn was weak from L ining and declined steadily from 32@ 833c at the opening to 3115@s15c later, and it closea u ower than on [riday g only @ quotation for that month being CHRICAGO PRODUOE tie oat market held up well in spite of the weakness in corn, and May wus really firm, with a liberal business, chiefly at 2215c, ono operator taking on about 400,000 bushels of long oats at that figure. The selling was well distributed, with receivers also froely selling cash oats forarrival next month. Ihis fact and the lavge estimates for Monday wero offset by the pressure of buying orders for ~export account. Near futures were dull, but strong, with 204@ 203{c for December, while November Was in a state of deplorable apathy and not quotable. No, 2 regular was nominal around 2030, I*rovisions attracted more attention specuiative way than for many days. They were far from being active, but Hutchinsou's selling of January pork awakened lucreased reneral interest. Traders showed more dis- position to trade and in their operations were regarded with general favor. Eastern prices were the rule aad from the start pork led the market.

Think of This, Bald Heads. Dr. Saymonne claims to have isolated a bm!mua called by him **bacillus erini- vorax,” whlch is the cause of alopecia, says the Londou Medical record. Iu is, he says, lound only on the scalp of men, other hirsute parts of the body and also the fur of animals being free from it. The bacilli invade the hair fol- licles and makes the hair very brittle, 80 that theyv break off to the skin. Then themselves are attacked, It the microbes can be destroyed early in the disease, the vitality of the bairs may be preserved, but after the follicles are invaded and all their strue- tures injured the baldness is incurable, The following is Dr. Saymonne’s rem- edy to prevent baldness: Ten parts erude iver oil, ten “parts of the ex- presssd juce of onlons and five parts of mucilage or the yolk of an eex are thoroughly shaken together and the mixture applied to the scalp and wsll rubbed in once a week. This, he serts, will certainly bring back the hnh- if the roots are not already destroyed, but the application of the remedy must refined, be distressing to the patient’s friends and neighbors.
