THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , I AY 17 , 1801 TWENTY TACUCS. 11 THE CONDITION OF TRADE.1 A Brief Review of Business Condition * iq ' and Ont of Omaha. THE LOCAL MONEY MARKET UNCHANGED. Jlpporli or ) ! ' * to Cmjn lit Nc- li-iskii ; I'roiii Dry " \Veathi-r Dis puted -A Oooil llnln Won't' lie HfMirtluliil. While there ha been much to interest financiers In the country at large , the past week has not developed any especially new features of n local nature. Money is fairly easy In Omaha and borrowers do not appear to bo nut to any pre.it inconvenience in get ting tholr vvttnto supplied. Tlio at tun ) condition oJ trade In thn city is not all that r-ould he desinsd , nnd In some lines it is rather tjulct , but it is generally ad mitted that business U fully as peed us was anticipated nt the commencement of the vcar. Most business houses report a fair movement of goods , but there Is not that snap to the trade .vhlch they would like to sto ind which Is to bo experienced only when crops have been food and money plenty in the country. Till ! 4OI1I1IVO Til 1MB of O.nahn holds up well , the conditions re- rnai-iing vcrv much the same as were noted * niiio tlmo ngo , A coed many ot the country ordi rs aio small , the retail dealers being very cmiscrvativo In the matter of buying. There nt"pe " irs to bo u disposition among them not U tano anv chances bj allowing stocks of Koo.i < to pili upon their hands They figure tint wnh a good crop this ycir trade vvil be large. but that they can \vait until the crop is assured before lajtng In the stock of poods As one dealer remarked " \Ve have n crop fail ire behind us nnd we can't take any chances on them bcinp another thii , season. ' In some lines of business n falling off in the volume of trade is noted and charged up tolhufic-tth.it the farmers nio generally very busy and are not taking any time to \ nit the towns to do tr-idlnp. T.utlnp every thing into consideration the jobbers have no complaint coining. IN roiTIIT i-itont-i K the pist weolt has developed some feitures of general Interest. In a general vv.iv it maybe bo said that receipts have been liirht with the demand moderate and a not overly ac tive nvirkct. . A noticeable feature is the advance in eggs , which places them nt an unusually lnph point , stock goliijt at lie which sold n j ear ago nt IDe or less The receipts are light at a time when they should be heavy and man } dealers look to see the market rule strong all the season The chances In the butter mirket have been Just the opposite from the egg market , 1'riees have been weakening rapidly under the influence of moro liberal receipts. Pretty good stock sold the last of the week nt lie ] > or pound It was not very long ago that Mock no better went as high as''Oc. The iKiultry market has practically shown no change in two weeks or more , prices re maining in about the same notch Hay dropped down under the influence of litige receipts of poor stock and prices rue ' very low us compared to what they we're three weeks ago. The business interests of Omaha and the iirroundlng country are dependent to such on extent upon good crops that every bus ! ness man U watching the result of the farm ers work and any information bearing on ttio subject is welcome though the nature of the news may not bo. cnoiCONDITIONO. . A great deal has been heard durine the past few days regarding injury to crops from tiry weather. As these reports come largely from speculators who may be interested in bulling the grain market they must be taken with duo allowance. There appears , how ever , to bo some ground for these reports but the conditions nro not t > o tiiffnvorablo as they would make out. In some localities oats sown on poorly cultivated ground arc turning yellow in patches , dun to dry weather and cool nights , Wherever the ground was put In the proper i-oiiilltloii few complaints have been heard. Wheat is looking well all over the slate , and n heavy } leld Is predicted. While no damage , or at least none of any consequence , has been done to the growing crop as yet it is equally true that the ground Is becoming too dry and that u rain would boot great benollt all over the state. Should theru bo nj rains for the next week or two some damage might result , but ns jet the crop conditions ore favorable and Is promise of a bountiful harvest. TIIK MTCUI.tTIVE MM1KIJTS Jn grain and provisions have been quite In- teiesling for the past wrok. The Chicago wheat market has been char- nctonml by scalping to a greater extent than lor some months It has been very sensitive to our homo Intluenccs , such as glowing crop prospects , and has at times responded strongly to the bull situation of Euiope It closes at n gain of about lie over the close of Baturdnv a week ugo. The piedlctiou of gen eral tains or drj weather for twenty-four or forty-dent hours has an effect of lo to He per bushel and U nmy bo characterized us puroh n weather nrirkct controlled by the scalping crowd. The foreign situation continues very Hroni : and our exports of wheat and Hour have bAen large. Lake , canal ana oocan freights are cheipor than over teforo. Predictions - dictions arc valueless as all now depends upon the weather of the next ten days and the out come of our home crop. Corn h > is shown 11 steady decline for the past week. The receipt-shave materially in creased. The urgent demand which has boon exhibited during the past thirty da.vs Is very much lessened and In some instaneos the decline in the price of this cereal has been , r > u pur bushel It is now impossible to place corn to nirivo at any premium over the Juno option. Planting seems to bo about completed and only needs moisture to make a s pic ml lit stand , which cannot help but ha\c a bearish Intlucncc The market , seems very heavy and declines of Its own weight. Oatb have been quite active for the past tU dnj * , cspociallj for the August and Sep tember option There have been numerous reports of damage by drouth and insects , out ttio cash supply Is largo and the demand not urgent. Provisions have had a bear week. Chicago talent has boon hammering the market per sistently and without mnrcy for the bulls , bnaking out the majority of'tlio u oak hold ers. The week closes nt n net loss of about 7 , ' > c per birrel on pjrk.

There is n remarkable show of "spiders" on Fifth avenue every mo-niiiK now.observoi u Now York coriospondent of the I'hlcaKO Ilerall Tills does not refer to tlio Insect , but to tbe pccular variety of vohirlo which New York women affect. It Is something like n phaeton , with a rumble behind for iho groom , and it is the smartest thing In car. ri-ics { this jear. Spiders are invariably driven by women , and they are usually drawn by thoroughbred little cob ? with roiebed mines and banged tails Theie is no prottlcr sight in the world than a hand some worn in driving ono of these stvlish vehicles throuRli the maze of Tiflli avenue tiamV A ' liiror" invariably sits behind. wilh Ills arms fo'ded and a look of statuesque itnmobillu upon his f.ieo. No less than boven of these tuinouls appeared upon the avenue between 11 and I'J o'clock yesterday Two of them wcro diUon by ladies of the Vander- bill family , the third by Miss Morgan , tbo fouith by the wife of n famous \Vali street operator and the others by women moro or less known in soulctv.

Not long ago Tbo Woman heard of the one person she had hoped nil her life to And. This person was a woman , and some day The Woman is going to hunt her out and stand before her. nnd looking at her say "For this have I lived all the jears of in v life. " Tor tliis woman has dared to do what The Woman has only sketched out to herself as a splendid possibility but has lacked tbo cour age to uccompllsh. For many years lias this wise woman been reidlng. And now she baa stopped , in the interests of thinking Not a single line does she read or has she read for a vcar and more Heioro that sbo read otn- nlvorously in Just that restless , devouring way that people have got into nowadays , us if Just to be left ulono with our own brains for n little while vvcro the worst calamity that could befall us. We , it is n strain on moat of us , nt any rate. Kovv of us have got fat enough to hibernate on for very long Tlio uneasy consciousness of that in her own caao is what has kept The Woman reading Hut , the shifts that people make dav after day to ' escape the trouble of thinking ! \\hy , a'liko amount of nervous energy expended in think ing would be sunk-lent to work out a new sj stem of philosophy. < \ Pietiiri1 nl' Annie ItpHiint. The famous English woman vv ho has been ostracised for her beliefs , who broke away from all conventional restraints , who es poused free thought , whoso name has for years been the ono of most influence among thcltborlng classoi of England , who can quell a mob quicker than a body of mounted police , who his perhaps suffered more than any other woman of our day , shows visible traces on her sad face of the mental agony she has endured , bho is slight but well lire- portioned , of medium height. Her face is rattier Ions nnd narrow. Snehasgiay eyes nnd a short tangle of gray curls , bho baa pretty hands und has a trick of constantly lifting ono or the other to her cheek She speaks eloquently and with ease , but as if terribly in earnest , She makes very few gestures but rather expresses her emotions by tlio tones of uer lull , round , Hen voice , bho was dre-sed very plainly in black cloth and wnio a ion ( lower stuck in the bosom of ne-r puwn and no ornaments save n rurloua silver buckle at the bottom of her bad Ice and n huge seal ring on her left hand.

In Vciinont nnd peihapi some others mar riage does not necessarily invalidate a woman's will , btit ui less ono is certain of the point in her own stak > she should attend to the in alter bj making n new will immediate 1 > after marriage , and , if possible , securing her husband s consent to It written nnd signed on the document it-self. This consent Is not everywhere necessary , but is alwav * wise. In Massachusetts it is absolutely noeessary if by iu terms Iho will cuts off any claim which our law gives a widower on the estate of his wife. A man's will , at common law and In the majority of states now , is not invalidated by his subsequent marriage alone , but if a child is born the concurrcne-o of ttio two events makes his will also worthless , und ho must write another. Mrs Dell Hodges was caught in the pralrlo fire which ran over the northwest part ef llrookings county , ami was badly burned.
