X THE CONDITION OF TRADE, The Usual Mid-Summer Quiet Prevails in Most Lines of Business. RETAIL DEALERS BUY CONSERVATIVELY, Jobbers Preparing for a Lively Trade as Soon as the Season for Winter Goods Arrives. The jobbing trade of Omaha is experionc Ing the usual midsummor quiet. Tho move ment of goods 18 about equal to that of pre. yious years during the month of July, and dealers have no cause to complain, July is really the *‘between” scason, too late for trade in spring and early summer woods and t00 early for fall goods. As adealer put it, *wo are now laying back and letting business run itself, but about the 10th of August we will wake up and start the ball volling." The orders coming in now are mostly small if for immeaiate shipment, or eiso they are to be held until later in tho scason beforo being filled. The country retail de is very conservative in the of buying, and though there aro ®good crop prospects the crop is not yet har- vested, and until then they are not disposea to take any chances, JTobbers in the grocery line report a fair in fact. a better trade than th ipated for this month, The sugar market shows more strength, Coffeo has regained what it lost about ten days ago. Deale of the opinion that thoro may be higher prices in coffee in the next month or two, but that on account of the enormous Brazilian crop cof- fee will be cheaper during the latter part of the year. The better grades of canned fruits remain about the same, but the cheaper grades and seconds are a littie lower. At New York oporations in bulk lots of staple groceries continue somewhat irregular, and it is not a market of general animation, nor do many changes of a pronounced chara ter come to light. The ever noticeable tend- ency to tuke a hopeful view of matters con- tinues, however, and there is scarcely an article on the list for which owners are not predicting a better market dur- ing the wonth. Some admit the proba- bility of only a temporary flurry, and then a quict spell until the fall trade sets in, but all dependent custom must handle some stock, it is calculated, in order to keep up working assortment. Sugar has thus far boen a little slow, but the nctual cousumption is probably incrensing rather than diminish- ing, and the markot for bulk lots oven to a renewal of demand at any moment. Coffee has many uncortain eloments, though tho average inclination is to look upon tho posi- tion as pretty firm for a month or two at loast. Teas give better promiso to holders; rice is sclling steadily, and thero 1s som hope for spices, but 'as yet the call for molassos and syrups has failed to give good satisfaction. Omuha's jobbing trade is reported fair for dry goods and_all that dealers expected for +ho season. The Bulletin spoaking of_the pust wool ins tho dry, goods trade in Now York says: The week's business has suf- fered from the influence of tho holiday cole- bration of the “Fourth,” and the inactivity induced thereby in the days immediately preceding and following tho holid There was a_considerable number of buyers present in the matket in the early part of but the at- he week and again at the close, a tondance was small in the interval between t e hetwo. Spot transactions w nccount, gencrall cre, on slow, and the agare business recorded through theso of indif- ferent extent, Orders by mail and wire were, however, numerous daily, although, with' the exception of all priuts, they were confined to small lotsas arule. In dark prints a steady demand of very fair proportions was noted, and leading agents report business in these as being up to expectations. Further prices were made during the week on the same basis as those proviously an - nounced. Kall ginghuns and dress goods were in steady, if moderato request. For scasonable styles of printed fabrics, gings nnms and woven wash fabrics and all’ wool, worsted and cotton-warp dress goods, thero was_ but a hand-to-mouth call at first hands, and the jobbing trade was decidedly quiet compared with the previous week's experi- ence. Business in domestics in_commission circles was gonerally quiot. At the close of tho week the tond of the market is steady. Stocks of browa and bleactied cottons in lead- ing wakes are reported in yery fair shapo. Fall style gimghams and dress gocds are well under orders, and the prospects for fall prints aro encouraging. Trade reports from West- ern sections and collections there are favora- ble, and & somewhat _bottor fooling is stated as prevailing in Southern sections. 3 FRUITS. The supply of California fruits has boen tight on this market_during the past week. Culiforma cherries have about played out, Oregon and home grown stock taking \heir place. The tendency of the markot on Culifornia fruit 18 higher. Peaches are arriving put the early Crawfords aro not expected to putin an appearance for abont a week or ton days yet. Southern melous are arriving quite frecly but many of them are small and tho weather is too cool to make them sell readily. Tho cool weather is also inter- fering with the movement of lemons aud stocks in tho hands of dealers are mostly largo, which will tend to keep the markot down, Tho receipts of berrics have been fair, though there has been no very large run. Some very good blackberries have been ¢ ing in the past weok, VEGETADLES, The market on new potatoes is consider- ably lower than it was a week or two ago, but they are still commanding good prices; There is some complaint on the part of local rowers that tho heavy rains have damaced ho early varieties, but the reports from all over tho country favor a heavy yield for the scason. COUNTRY PRODUCE, The market in country produce has not shown any especially interesting fentures during tho past six days. Eggs have sold cight around 12 cents tho most of the time, anda very considerable proportion of the sales went at exactly that figure, The butter market hus been low but the demand has been Zood at the prices, the packers = boing willing to take all that came at fie. Some of the top packages went to the retail trade at a little more money, but tho demand from that source was very limited. The receipts of poultey have been light and the market has been fairly active at firm prices. Old fowls have sold all the way from L60@H00 but with the bulk at $3.75@4.00. Spring chickens have also com: manded good prices, large and fan outh Rocks gnfug as hu.ll as & chickens, however, are very slow at any price and anles of sich havo boon reported as ow s §2,00@2.50, OMAHA LIVE STOCK, OMAIA, July 11 181, CATTLE-OMelnl recoints of oat 5 as compared with 1,1 terday mnd d71 Buturdiy of lustwoek.

Claimants and Attorneys. It is important that claimants under the Tndian depredations law should understand that all contracts made by them with attor- ueys were cancelled and anaulled by that act. Section 9 of the law explicitiy say that *“'all contracts heretofore made for fees and allowances to claimants’ attorneys are hereby declared vold,” and the secretary of the treasury in issuing warrants for judg- ments 1s required to make them payable only to claimants, their lawfulb? rs or other representatives specified in the act, *‘except 80 much thercof as shall be allowed the claimants’ attorneys by the court for prose- cuting said claim, which may be paid direct to such attorneys,” and the amount of the allowance which shall be made is specified. The claim agents and attorneys are making a fight on the law upon the ground that con- gress has no power to annul private con tracts, ana hold that contracts involving a contingent fee are irrevocable. Claimants who are thus informed should pay no atten- tion to it. Their obviously wise ana proper course fs to be guided by the provisions of the law, wnich are so plain und explicit that no one can err as to thewr mean- g, and to pay no regard to op- inions or representations of men whose interest it is to defeat the intent of the law. The evident purpose of congress in de- claring contracts with attorneys void was to protect claimants, and even if it be granted that there 13 a question as to the power of conpress to do this, until that question 1is judicially determingd claimants will make a mistake not to take the advantage swhich the law allows them, and by failure to do so sub- ject themselves to the exactions of the greedy claim agents and attorneys. But it is highly probable that the power of con- gress in this matter will never be tested in the courts, since it is hardly to be supposed that the many able lawyers in congress would have allowed so important a feature of the Indian depredations act to remaiu in it if there was a reasonable doubt regarding the right of congress to so legislate. The thing to be understood by claimants under the above act is that contracts made with attorneys for fees ana_allowance were rendered void by the act, and that they are at liberty to place their claims in other hands and to refuse in all respects to be bound by such contracts.

Napolcon met an old soldier who had lost an arm. *‘My friend, how did you 100 thut arm” S Hightlng . for you e.” Napoleon, moved, responded with a handful ‘of coins. *“Sire,” said the veteran, eagerly, “what would you give if I had lost the other too?” " *'I would give you the cross of the Legion of Honor.” " “With your own hand?’ “With my own hand.” Quick as thou, the soldier drew his saber and slashed off his remaining arm at the shoulder. Very affeeting! But then the question arises, how on earth did he manage to do it? e SRS ARE YOU A DISABLED SOLDIER? You are Entitled to a Pension and Should Get It. Ninety days is not a long time to serve i the army. Nevertheless, a man who has served ninety days and who has been hono ably discharged, if he suffers from physical disability which renders him unable to sup port himsolt, is entitled to u ponsion. There is not one soldier in threo who is en- titled to this rolief who is aware of tho ex- istauce of the law which was passed for his benofit. This is doing injustice to himself aud to his people. A man who has served ninety days either in the military or naval serviceof the United States, during tho late war who has been honotably discharged and who can make proof of the fact that he is physically in- capacitated from supporting bimself is en- titled to reccive a pension of not more than $12 and not less thun § per month, The pension shall commence from the date of the filing of the appiication. It is not ro- quired to prove that the soldier’s incapacity 1s the outgrowth of injuries sustaived in the war. It must be shown simply that it is not the result of vicious conduct. Every soldier and sailor who is entitled to this pension should move immediately to se- cureit. He can and should do this with Tie Bee Bukeau of Cuanvs. This is the cheap- est and best meaus of having your claims against the government collectod.
