The clearing ! ) for the week as reported by
Mr. Hughes , manager of the clearing house ,
foot $ ,037,0oi.21i : , an Increase of 30 0-10 per cent.
Balances were t1,551.05. ! . The local money
market continues very ea y , bankers report
ing a largo surplus of loanable funds on hand
and the deposit account dally growing larger ,
There l.s no disposition , however , to loan on
nny but tUrfctly pi-imo paper , for which the
-Tilling rates , are H per cent. Other good paper
t 13 handled at 10 per cent , and parties who uro
not known to hu prompt arc not encour
aged to borrow oven on what would ordinarily
bo considered satisfactory collateral. Hankers
sccmlo Do of the opinion that prohibition may
possibly carry and If It should there will un
doubtedly be an enforced liquidation , which ,
ttlthu tight monny market such as Is looked
upon AH prohahlo during thu fall and winter
monthof this year , will make trouble. Thu
money markets of Now Vork and Chicago are
reported ns firm and rates are steady under
the Inltuonco of un active demand for loans
nnd a very lively Block market , whllo at Lon
don money t.s plentiful and cheap.
General trade l.s fairly Rood and our Jobbers
Bay that business Is fully up to their expecta
tions , whllo collections have Improved , and
the Hltuatlon is icgarded as comfortable.
Much interest was taken by our wholesalers
In tlio CONventlim of iiilall business men held
ontho2lHt and 22ml Instant , under the aus
pices of the Commercial Directory company ,
and which closed with a bamiuut at the 3111-
laro holol Thursday. , Views were exchanged
nnd a plan of procedure by which the collec
tion laws uro to bo amended to the detri
ment of the dead heat clu s agreed upon.
A llvu commlttco was piuced in charge of this
most Important matter with Instructions to
jiniM'iit u bill to tlio Igglslatuio this winter
wlilrh will ensure the desired result and It Is
to bo hoicd | that the subject will receive
v > prompt attention , as the credit of Nebraska's
\nurcliunts Is certainly notsogood as It should
bo If the heavy exemption permitted under
the present law won ) to bo reduced to a
reasonable amount. 1'rlccs are to a great cx-
tent unchanged. In groceries dullness con
tinues to prevail In the coll'co market. Dealers
bold liberal stocks and the usual channels of
distribution lire choked , while the visible sup
ply Is scarcely less than a year ago.
On May 1 , IWO.tho visible-supply was. In bags ,
2,013,0 ! , " , and May I , IH O , 2,610.157 , a decrease
of only 5,212 bags , whllo the deliveries In this
country and In Europe during thu past ten
months of the crop year showed an Increased
distribution of 311,013 bugs , Indicating that the
Invisible supply Is ahnormably heavy and
that blocks In dealers hands are so largo that
an Increase In prices may not bo looked for
soon. desplUi the strenuous elTorts of the hulls
to that end. Mild coll'ccs are also dull und
prices weak. Molasses l.s unchanged. Tlic rlco
market is strong with an upward tendency
and holders at primary points are very llrm In
tholr views.
There Is no quotable change In values In the
RUgur market and tno situation Is practically
the same as last week , buyers appearing lu-
cllircrent nud Inclined to wait tlio action of
congress on the tariff I > 111. Canned goods are
In fair demand with very llttlo change In
prices.
The Iron market Is still depressed and the
output continues excessive. J.uad Is more
aotlvo and prices have adviinccd. Tlnlsdull
with a modKralo demand. I'etroloum is quiet
and lower. Turpentine Is weaker , and with
f liberal reeolpt-i prices are a shade lower.
\ In dry goods attention has been directed to
v the great llaimel sales at Now Vork , hut the
result has left the market unsettled and
views are much at variance as lo what the
futuio of this line will bo. The open winter
lias probably left largo stocks on the shelves
of dealers throughout the country and the ov-
Istlug uncertainty n.i to tarllV and silver legis
lation render prognostications ns to the
future of the market of llttlo value. Domestic
woolens are weaker and It Is possible that
production may bo curtailed. Domestic cotton
goods are firm , and foreign staples
aro.hold steady whllo fancy foielgn goods are
pushed by concessions ami values are lower.
The tiirlll bill having passed the house by a
itrjct party vote now goes tb the senate ,
v'where It l.s to bo hoped moro wisdom In Its
y treatment will bo displayed and u llttlo com-
! 111011,1sense , bo shown. It l.s baldly posslblo
.r , tin/at / lioseuato will consent lo the passage of
the bill In anything llko Its present shape , as
It Is Is doubtful If tlio Interests most directly
alTccted are at all contented with It as It Is.
It Is u botched Jo'j from any standpoint.
The local produce market has been wollsup-
jillcd nnd fairly active during the weak at
iuworprices , milter Is dull with Increased
receipts. Kggs are lu moderato sup
ply and fair demand nt quota ) Ions. Old
chicken * nro In very largo supply and prices
mo slightly olf. Spring ohlcktyis aro" rather
source , hardly any coming from near by points
and prices have been II rmly ma hit allied most of
the receipts are from the south. The cheese
l market has been modoiatoly brisk. October
4 Jull creams are getting rather scarce , but new
goods are In llhural supply and a trllle weaker ,
llorrles are very plontlfuf ; receipts have been
In such poor order that the bull ; had to bo
pushed HIT to the city trade , leaving hardly
any lit toshlpandcommlsslonmen Imvutlioru-
fore broil unable to (111 ( orders from distant
points to any extent. 1'rospeets favor a very
liberal supply this week and of a belter quali
ty. Vegetables of all kings are plentiful und
lower. .Now southern potatoes are coming In

iS , Is said that a syndicate ot
capitalists lire about to Incorporate
und organize a new htulu bank on Sixteenth
streotsoulh of Cumlng , and that , backed by
ono of the larger national banks downtown ,
strong competition will bo olTerqd the branch
JJank of Commerce.
Tlio comptroller of the currency has called
upon the National banks of Omaha for n state
ment of their condition on the 17th lust. , and
Jt Is undorsood that they will without oxccp-
tlonmakoan extremely favorable showing.
Mr. Herman IfounUc. presldmiV of the 1'lrst
National , who has been absent for nearly
three weeks , Is expected homo on thu llrst
proximo or thereabouts , and wo will all bo
very glad to sco him.
fin operator In New York expresses a convlc-
ilon to the olToct that the Juno statement
from Washington will show a loner condition
forwU-Jnr wheat than that of May. As the
winter wheat crop Is usually about two-third *
of the whole yield , this coiidltlonmuy form an
Important oflsot to the better prospects In the
uorthwestduo to tlio recent rains tliero.
There l.s ono point in the wheat trade of the
lust few weeks which has hitherto escaped
\romincnt. though It forms a wldo contrast to
the methods which pruvalled previous to the
refusal to supply quotations from the hoard
for the usn of itho bucket shops.
The longer deliveries are at a dis
count from the prices paid for the nearer
ours. This hua extinguished , at least for tlio
tlmo being , the old-tlmc business of selling
hort for tbosako of I ho carry Ing charged. In
this respect the trade has returned to the con
ditions which used to piovall pu-vioiis to four
or II vo years ago. Since then , up to within the
last two month ! ) , iho bears have had in their
bands a hummer which they used unmerci
fully for the depression of prices , And these
men were the heaviest losers on the advance
slnco March , as they did npt recognize tlio
change till It was forced on their attention by
lioavy margin calls and smart losses ,

market. As on yesterday there was lots of
both Iboar and bull news. The wcathur
everywhere was line and RHVO sellers
Croat courage. Them wi ro no cablei
iiud export clearances worn light. Itcpdrls
from the spring wheat secMntis wuro favora
ble. A dull feature was winter wheat nows.
Commission houses were supplied with sam
ples of wheat from southern Holds and the dis
patches were Imrdencil with n story ubout
"elicat" nnd other ravages. The day opened
with the St. Louis syndicate solllnp at homo
nnd In this market. llutchlnson did llttlo
until prices yielded and then Ills brokers

wore buyers all morning. Selling was heavy
and qulto general and was led bv MeCormlok
ft Co. , Jones & Kcmnctt , S. V. White k Co. ,
IJaxter , and others. July started .steady but
on a nervous market at07'ie , wunt elf tofXJ' c ,
recovered to 07o or better , nnd Instead of n
bulge before noon , as on previous clays , there
was a second decline toOO'jo. ' August and
September wore olt to POe or under and the
tt > no of the market was weaker. There was
nothing of a panicky nature about trade , and
there was noslen of the country selling Its long
wheat. The wheat market was on the down
grade to the lese today , l.ate In the day
when Julv got down to ! W ? e. there was a quick
rlilly toOO'/iCOii ' fresh "fly" news and buylngby

prevailed nnd prices . /went oil'easily. There
was a llttlo rally from the low jirlcesof the
day , July sold off to WUe nnd closed at U.V40
nominal. August land September each closed

There was a heavy trade In corn nearly all
thosesslon. Thomarket was heavy and showed
a material decline. The Inraedi'voloiiment
had much to do witb lower prices. There was
eoilslderable selling of long corn on the very
line growing weather. Uuduliy and Itoburt
Warren were big sellers at one time. May sold
atlCI'/icatono time , and on taking by shorts

; There was n general letting down of prices
In oats today. This was largely in sympathy
with the leactlon In wneat. Sample oats.wero
weak and lower. Tim receipts were large and
are expected to bo larger. The local crowd
has gotten over Its scare , or else the shorts are
all In , and the market hail little support ,
deceiving houses sold May at ai'Jo early and

Hog products were dull again today. There
was a llttlo advance in me s pork early ,
with prime at $1:1.10 : and July at $13.15 , but it
was not significant and trade was very light.

price yesterday $5.37 ! for.Inly ribs and $11.25
for July lard. Later prices were 2'2c lower
and again sales "weio wide at Una figures.

Of nil the principal courts of Europe
that of KiiKland Is thu simplest , and yet
the household maintained by thu quuen
t'onslsta of over ono thousand persons' .
The discipline is strict and admirably
carried out. The queen puys the high
est salaries paid at any court , and in re
turn exacts the most unswerving In
tegrity , the greatest discretion and most
faithful service. For her household ex
penses Hie queen receives a yearly grant
of 450,000.
Her habits nro quiet and unostenta
tious. She rises nt 8 n. m.-and her
breakfast consists of n dish of oatmeal ,
Bomo fish , and n cup of cocoa , writes a
London correspondent of the Now York
Sun. The lords nnd Indies lit waiting ,
thlrly-llvo in number , bronkfnst in the
most sumptuous.stylo , and it is princi
pally for these important personages
that the following kitchen staff is main
tained : Ono kitchen clerk , n chef , six
cooks , and fourteen helpers and store
keepers.
At 10 o'clock her majesty receives her
letters and news. In accordance with
strict court etiquette the queen is not
oxpcctcd to handle a single newspaper ,
magazine or periodical ; neither does she
receive any written communication ex
cept family letters. The newspapers are
read through by ono of the secretaries to
the private secretary , who makes cut
tings of any news likely to interest her
majesty , and these are fastened to a
piece of silk and laid upon the table.
It is strictly forbidden to nny member
of the royal family or to any ono in the
household to convoy any newspaper or
periodical to her majesty , or to direct
her attention to any news in the daily
papers. No political news Is clippeh
from the dallies.
The principal attendants upon the
queen are six pages of the back stairs ,
whose ollices have certainly not an hon
orable name , but who receive the tolera
ble salary of $2/iOO / a year apiece. One
of them is in constant attendance
at the door of her majesty's apartment ,
from early morning until she re
tires at night. His position is no sine-
euro and ho lias frequently to carry the
queen's reprimand to some member of
the household who may have incurred
her displeasure. He lias also to Iceep a
sharp eye upon any unwelcome Intrud
ers and must keep over alert lo avoid
nny unpleasant contretemps that might
como b.y announcing a visitor when the
queen is closeted with somebody an
tagonistic to the now arrival , lie must
display great tact and iirmness and yet
great delicacy withal. Hecenty ,
when Prince Battonberg had in
curred the displeasure of his
royal mother-in-law , she sent
her page to summon the delinquent to her
presence. He refused and was promptly
informed by the page that "tho queen
commanded him to appear , and disobed
ience would place him under the painful
necessity of summoning the guard I"
When the prince of Wales , who was
present and who cordially detests
"thoso German outsiders , " informed
him that.laws were madu to bo obeyed ,
that ho seemed to have succeeded in
making himself exceedingly unpopular ,
KO much so that It might be'of benefit to
his health to take a holiday and go back
to Germany for a month or two.
The queen drinks only a glass or two
of Heaifne at luncheon and dinner , hav
ing been forbidden by her medical men
to take beer , her favorite beverage.
When beer was drank at the table only
a quantity siilllcient for use during the
meal was drawn and the cask was then
given to the housekeeper's department.
The gentleman of the collar receives
SIf.OOO a year and has three jissistants.
Dinner at the palace is served at 7
o'clock , and the setting and arranging
of the table is a most artistic perform
ance , and occupies about two hours. For
this service a table decker is maintained
at $1,000 , who occupies a fauilo of rooms
in the palace , and three assistant deck
ers , besides a wax-litter to arrange this
candles , and three lamplighters to light
them.
The queen entei's the dining room
preceded by the head usher Itoaring the
white wand , the symbol of the "royal
'
command , " and without which 'no
queen's me.s.ongor can appear in the
house of lords to transact nny affair * } of
state. During dinner the proceedings
are frequently enlivened by the presence
of the queen's piper , who marches
around the table discoursing music more
or less sweot. Since Prince Hattunborg
evinced a great dislike to the "bklrling"
of the bagpipes they are always "on ovi-
denco' ' whpn ho is present at table.
Her majesty always gives the signal
for rising from the ta'blo and proceeds to
her private apartments , where she
spends the remainder of the evening
either doing some fancy work or listen
ing to reading by one of the ladies of the
family. During this tlmo shonlso % roads
over the various poems and congratula
tions , of which she daily receives
quito a number from her loyal
subjects , who dearly love the let
ter of tlmnks which is euro to
follow and which looks so well framed
and glazed. Court etiquette demands
that all communications ( oxcojiting per
sonal ones , which never reach nor ) shall
bo printed in gilt letters on silk , nnd
with a bullion fringe around the edges.
Some London stationers make a specialty
of the work , know the exact depth of the
bullion lace nnd nil the other require
ments. A letter of thanks Is returned
and Is accompanied by the gold lace nnd
trimmings which adorned the loyal trib
ute , and the letter in Illedaway In the ar
chives of the royal dust-bin. Quito re
cently n lady in Florida forwarded to the
qnei'ii a beautiful collection of leaves
which she had spent three years In preparing -
paring , and which were subsequently re
turned to the sender with an expression
of deep regret thnt citatum strictly for
bade retaining any presents at court.
The quuen kept it for thrno months ( the
limit of timu ) and spent many a pleasant
evening pouring over the tlireo fmmunso
volumes compribing the handsome col-
! lection.
I The queen retires at 10 o'clock , oxcopl-
i ing on special occasions , when she retires
i as early as she can manage to without
. disturbing her visitors. TJioro are olght
1 Indies of the bedchamber , who serve by
turns u fortnight nt a time. Tiiesu Indies
! uro nil of thu highest families and
! rarely rank under n duehnss. There nro
! bohldcH eight hedchambor women , nUu

In perfect. Throughout the palace the
rooms are kept at the same cool torn-
porntttro. no overheating Is permitted ,
and in all the private rooms wood is
burned instead ol coal.
There Is a complete sanitary e tab-
llshment , supported at a cost of XU.700
a year. Perhaps of nil the long list of
appendages to royalty no one enrim hta
wage.- * more fairly than the obscure per-
nonage who llgures nt the end of thu
pay-roll the queenV rat-catcher , whosu
duty it Is to keep the royal premises free
from "nil rats nnd mice nnd such sninll
deer , " and who In return for this m-vieu
receives the modest stipend of 76 a
year.
KomomlK-i-the Hoot Crop.
If you have not n silo ; nctunl or pros
pective , do not forgot thu root crop in
the pressure of tmrltig planting. Hoot-
growing is a bugbear with many whoso
backs ache at the very mention of the
subject , but the dllllcultles and labor nro
overestimated , says the Breeder's ( ! n-
/otto. This crop requires more patient ,
tedious labor than does corn or potatoes
it is true there is "knnclc"
, yet a in man
aging it us in doing everything else , and
this is not very dillicult to luarn , To
succeed with the least labor , much tlmo
should be spent in careful preparation of
the soil. Any land that is in first-clans
condition for potatoes is suitable for
roots ; clover sod , plowed last
fall , will give the ideal con
ditions. Remember that the cheap
est cultivation1 possible is before the
seed Is planted. Use the disc harrow
and roller freely , repeatedly cutting up
and pulverizing the soil" until It Is
as mellow as a garden. As to varieties ,
there is no need of quarreling. The
sugar beets furnish the most corn-on
trated nutriment , and the mangels the
largest amount Of water ; the latter va
riety is .satisfactory to many who nro
after succulence rather than real nutri
ment. For horses carrots are preferred.
As to ditto for planting the rule of
closely following corn is a good one ,
though if the land is in the best of con
dition nnd the scnson favorable the
planting limy follow corn two or three
weeks. ' Have the drills wtdo
enough apart for horse cultivation ,
planting the seeds about four Inches
apart in the drill , thinning out
gradually during cultivation until the
plants stand n foot npart In the row. De
stroy weeds by shallow cultivation , often
repeated , as soon ns the seed leaves have
formed. Ho who watts until the weeds
show green over the Held will early bn
disgusted with root-growing. We need
not stop at tills time to discuss the
position roots occupy in the list of food
articles , or how they should bo fed. The
time is at hand for planting , and ho who
has a root cellar well stored the coming
winter will have ample opportunity to
learn how to dispose of the < 'ontent.s to
his Mode and herd. Hoots In the cellar ,
like money in the bank , represent a most
sat ihfnctory eondjtion of atl'nirs ; botli are
wondorfullv available.
