THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SU DAY, FEBRUARY 92—-SINTEEN PAGE q THE CONDITION OF TRADE Ko Especially Interesting Features De- | veloped in Local Business Circles. JOBBING TRADE UP TO EXPECTATIONS The Accumulation of Idle Capital In the Banks at Financial Centers Attracts the Attention of Business Men— Movement of Grain Abrond. ‘o espeolly interesting features have been developed in local circles of trade and finance. The jobbing buasiness of the past weok was up to expectations and to that ex- tent, at least, fully satisfactory. The accumulation of money in the banks at the great financial centers of tho country is attracting considerable attention from busi- ness men. The Journal of Finauce remarks that the deposits of the bauks still continue 1o increaso and now far overreach any limit previously attained. It is an abnormal con- dition. With a large surplus in many of the banks which can be employed to increase the mggregate of their loans, with the original capital representing millions of dollars, it 1s a fact worth* of attention that, notwith- standing the efforts of the past few weeks, the deposits of the banks far exceed the amounts of monoy which have taken the form of loans. Changes in financial conditions are always sudden, As in the affairs of men, at times the darkest day precedes the brightest; but & condition such as this must be a forerunner eitber of a future encouragement or an indi- cation that something is present in the finan- cial horizon that suegests alarm. The massing of cap:tal may not be in the least significant of alacm. It unquestionably represents fn part an increase in collections made more easy by reason of the prosperity of the year that has passed. 1t way be awaiting the opening of a new industrial movement, If this is the casc, then the wheels of industry, once put in_motion, will receive an accelerated impotus from the iale capital seeking the opportunity of useful- uess, In the opinion of the American Banker we aro approaching one of tho most critical periods of our monetary year, und Comp- troller Lacoy’s statistics of the banking de- posits and reserves, with the movements of the loans, capital and surplus, in response 10 the wants of business, will be watched with special interest, especially in the reserve cities and the chief financial centers. The anticipated increase of tho clearings in the west aud throughout the banking system of the whole country is gratifying. Tho total for tho first hall of February throughout the United States aggrogates about $2,662,000,000, sgainst §2,149,000,000 in 1891. The New York clearings are $§1,515,000,000, against $1,105,000,000, and those of Chicago $156,000,- 000, ngainst §139,000,000 last year. The 1mprovement is irregularly but widely diffused, with some brightening aspects in the south and elsewhere. The rumors of gold exportation and the recent sensitive fluctuations in foreign exchange are attract- ing a closer attention, both hero and abroad, 10 the present and prospective movewments of our exports, Opinions aiffer as to the prob- ablo demand in foreign markets for our breadstuffs. Tho government report, just issued, of the crops in Great Britain is much discussed, It gives less support to the pre- vailing ostimates and theories than was an- ticipatea. The estimate given of the wheat crop 15 82,127,363 bushols, against 73,354,484 in 1800. ‘The oat crop is stated at 112,386,261 bushels, against the aggregate of 120,185,046 1ast year, und the barley crop at 72,120,005 bushels, as compared with 73,033,801 ia 1800, A present, of course, the heavy balance of trade in our favor is augmenting, both from the influx of Buropean capital into our indus- trial investments and rairoad bonds and other corporate securities, and also from tho active shipments of our cereal crops. The agurogato 80 far this month surpasses ex- pectation, The receipts of grain ut Chicago ‘were 5,035,291 bushels for the fdrst two weeks of Fobruary, against 4,075,800 in 1891 snd 4,208,560 1n 1800. At Milwaukee the fortnight's report was 1,005,722 bushel against 549,020 in 1801, 625,775 in 1800 an 574,155 1n 1880, The general movement ot our cereal and other exports is expected to surpass that bf last month. The value of the principal exports for January is given in tho revised statoment of the treasury at §77,145,- 772 in. 1802, against 801,549,583 in 1801, Tnere ‘was a decline in cotton from $35,038,339 in 1891 to $25,782,225 in 1802, Provisions in- croased from $13,480,433 to $15,019,043, and breadstuffs from $9,718,556 to $0,147,281. From all the ports of the United States the total January increase in our exports of breadstuffs is reported at 20,428,605, as compared with tho same month last year. For these and other reasons there has arisen no perturoation whatever in the loan market of late from any anxictiesas to a sudden damand for gold for shipment to Europe, Moreover, there ara nota few of our leading authorities who contend, first, that, in the improbable event of an export of $10,000,000 of gold, we could bear the tewpo- rary loss with ease from our surplus re- serves; and, secondly, that the speedy re- turn of the metal would be certain in the present state of the balance trade, while the movements of our credit in Europe would be greatly accelsrated and improved, so that the exported gold would be virtually, in a very important sense, an efficient adjunct to our ocash reserves, even while transferred for a time to the great KEuropean center of our banking and credit system, LIVE STOCK MARKETS, ‘Week Closes With Prices Steady to Higher on All Grade; OMATA, Fob, 27.—Recoipts for the weok 13,014 cattle, 28,042 hogs and B,077 sheop, uguinst 15,964 onttle, 2.164 ho:s and 2771 sheep lust woek and 10,668 cattle, 31,043 hogs und 2,501 sheep for tho fourth week of February last our. % While there has been very Little life to the general cattle market all week prices have not declined u great deal, probably for the T that it would be simply stealing to get ttle any lower thun they have been selling.

LOW GRADES ALL GREW QUITE WEAK Longs Seemed to Feel Uncertain of Thelr Ground While the Bears Appeared Fall of Courage and Confidence—~ Stocks and Bon CRICAGO, T11. Feb, 27.~The wheat market had a very docided break today. Trade opened extremely dull, and for a time prices hold quite stoady, close to tho closing figures of yesterday. But the low grades all grew weak and when a few items of bearish news were collected the bulls were stamped and prices dropped. Cables were somewhat con- flicting, some private advices quoting duliness and lower prices, while others sald the market was holding its own. The rezular Board of Trade cable was steady and firm. The gen- oral business, howe: was very dull and the trado secmed hesitating and cautious with timidity the most notable character- Istic. Longs seem to feel uncertain of their ground, while the bears seemed full of cour- age and confidence. With the trade in this condition It aid not require much in the wWay of bear news «nd much Agaressivences on thie Jurt of seilors to put the longs In a panic. The act that Liverpool was no lower after our market of yestorday gave the friends of wheat some courage it the start, the opening befug (20 to 02130 ugainst 0liic uv thoeloso yes- erdiy, It held within these figures for an hour or more. Then this fallurc of the expected cold Wave to develop any dangerous low tem- perature in the winter wheat country began to have a bearish effect. Neoxt it began to s be talk around that the visible supply would show an increaso of 504,000 0 600,00) bu. ; Bradstreet's reported the eXports from both coasts for the week at 00) bu. against 4041000 bu. last woek. icn followed a_rumor that Russin was to abrogate tho export prohibition ukase and another thut the Russian crop ot yeu had been found to be largely In excess of other estimates. Tmorobabie ust 88180 FUmOrs were, they hind an instant e on 4 market that was aiready weak and thera wus o rush on the part of longs o get rid of their hold- s und short seliors wero oguaily anxious to get out their lines. ‘The continued heavy re- Dts in the nortliwest were also a drag on s market. Wenkness was the fenture of the narket till the elose, which was at 804, tho owest figure of the duy and 2o Leiow the top rice. Corn was quiet but weuk, owinz partly to the duilness of trado and partly to the break in wheat. ‘The shipping demand was slucker than usual and there was very little specula- tivo buying. Holders showed some discour- agement and a good many sold freely, Tho market opened J5o higher wt42ige in sympathy with the early firmness In wheat, and ini- proved i more, but it sold off to 41%0 and closed at 42c. Oats were more active, but lower and weak. The liguidation of several large lines which commenced yesterday was continued toduy. Helmholz wis n liberal seller, offering 104,600 bu, biocks, Tho close shows u loss of 15, Pork had a sharp break and showed a loss of 25c ut the close. The weakness in live and the breuk in wheat were partly respo bie for this but a sudden raid "by u promine speculator in the lutter part of the session alded in the depression. There wero one or two littio rallies but they were feeble. Lard and ribs were less affected and show only immaterial declines.

SO PRESIDENT GANNON'S POSITION. ] e Will Resign Rather Than Create or Ine Any Factional Feeling. inon, president of the Irish TLeaguo of America, was seen yesterday by BEE reporter with reforence to the apparent difference of opinion between himself and Secretary Sutton on account of which the sccretary has forwarded his vosignation. “1t is nothing but a misunderstending,not a differenco ot opinion, I think," said Me. Gannon, “I have written Secrotary Sutton that rather than accept his resignation £ would resign myself, and [ have authorized him to say to the execus tive committee that = my resignation, will be submitiea to the committee atany time that ivis desirable to haveiv. I wiil have nothing to do with any factional quare rels. Thie matter has begun over a very triviak thing and if I have made a mistake it has been because I was burried with work and did not catch the same impression from the New York Sun editorial as Mr. Sutton did, perhaps. This eaitorial was sentto me by Treasurer Lyman of New Yorlk through Mr. Sutton. It points out thedanger to the home rulo cause from the fact that many of the Irish members are poor men and if Parlige ment should be dissolved and a sudden clec~ tion called, many of them would be unable to denosit the statutory costs demanded of alk who enter an election contest in Ireland. These costs vary from §1,500 for a borough seat to §3,000 for u county. “I was impressed with the force of the suggestion ou the part of the New York Sua to the effect that funds should be contribut by the supporters of tho home rvle cause i America and upon that impuise I wrote and issued the letter which appeared Wednesday movning. 1 have no policy aside from that of the exccutive committee. 1 will engage in no factional quarrels, The best vears of my life have been given in a great degree to | the irish home rule cause and this is no time | for moto have anything to do with face tional wrangles. I think thatSecrotary Sut~ ton will understand the situation better when he reads the letter I sent him today. So far as lam concerned I would much rather resign than to feel that there is the least particle of aiscord between any of the oficers or members of the executive commite tee and myself. I would very willingly han® in my resignation at any moment,’ ———— La Grippe Successtully Treated. “I have just recovered from a secon@ attack of the grip this year,” says Mr. Jnwmes 0.

T'he second attack I am satistied would have been oqually as bad as the first but for the uso of this remedy, as I had to go to bed in about six hours after being ‘struck’ with it, while in the first case I was able 10 attend to business about two days before getting ‘down.’”” 50 cent bottles for sale by druggists, —————— FOX GOES TO 'FRISCO.
