Yesterday's 8 1er cent call money rate left some apprehension that | next ‘week s money market might show some residue of the eff of May first settiements and the continued large bond operations. The g¢heck to renewal of busi- ness activity from the unseasonable Weather contlnues the demand for money for merchantile purposes and_conserves the of the money market. Outside banks very large lenders in New York. The Canadian bank statement is of interest in its indication of call loans placed in New York to an estimated amount of $117,800,000. The publication of statistics of immigra- tlon attracted attention by its disclosure that Incoming steerage passengers for the first three months of the yoar have iIn- greased again o near the record figures of 1%07. The improved Industrial outlook Is given credit for this development.

Omaha continues to gain favorable notice all over the country by the remarkablo showing its banks are making, only one city larger than Omaha shows the gain In bank clearings for the week which the Omaha banks have shown. Omaha's gain Is 3.9 per cent for week, whereas Minneapolis shows a los, 9 per cent and St. Paul a loss of § cent. Kansas City has been lead entire country for some time In the amount of galn, but this week Omaha shows 359 to a gain of 27.8 for Kansas City. 3 The unexpected call for a statement by the comptroller of the currency found the Omaha banks In fine condition, with three banks past the $10,000,000 mark and others gaining fast. Bank clearings are generally o = @35¢ _higher than 'a week ago. The im. pen.| High | Low. | Closu.| Yer'y. provement has been more noticeable on the better grades, while common and inferior kinds of “the canner order have changed but very little. Veal calves have been pretty good sellers throughout the week and ‘have shown a little firmness, being generally Zc higher than last week's low point. Bulls and stags have held up welil, showing In fact some improvement for the week. ‘The very light supply of stockers and feeders still continues and prices are ac- cordingly as high as they were last week, It is generally recognized that the market Is way too high as compared to the way fat cattlo are selling, but the light receipts have prevented buyers from forcing any material reduction.” There is no question but what the market would preak sharply if receipts were at all liberal.

Naturally enougn, with such a variation | in prices on the same kind of hogs for two ays In succession, sellers were differing somewhat in thelr views. Those salesmen who did not have overly good luck yester- day and were fortunate today, quoted their sales at about steady, while others who were high men yeterday, thought they took off a nickel today, Perhaps to quote the market anywhere from steady to Gc lower would just about cover the situation. The | trade Was reasonably active at current prices, and the blg bulk of the hogs changed hands in very fair seaso A considerable proportion of all the hoy here s0ld at $6.80@7.10, and on up as high us $7.20 for good heavy hogs. There were a number of sales at the latter price, but it will be remembered that yesterday there was one load at $7.25. Recelpts of hogs for the week foot up 61,300 head, a gain of almost 7,000 head as compared with last week and over 35,000 head as compared with a year ago. In other words, recelpts of hogs this week have been the heaviest of any week since the third week in March. Considering the heavy run, the market has by no means been In bad shape. On Monday, however, there was a severe break, hogs on that day selling on an average of lic lower than on the previous Saturday. During the next two days prices firmed up very materially the market on Wednesday reaching the bigh point of the year. Since Wednesday i|the tendency has been again downward, and after allowing for the decline today, the market is about l0c lower than the close of last week. No. Av. 8. Pr " e .
