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. It is thought ty
many that the bear cHlo on this product ha's
' * v"-lticome nl most too | > opular , and the bears
may have trouble to buj in their shorts , iu
which ca&o there might bo a sharp upturn

A neatly dressed woman with blonde nil r

"Shoalvvajs nslis mo that question. " said
the ticket chopper , after the woman had
moved down the platform. "I have not the

The woman is a pickpocket. She works the

Not long ago Tbo Woman heard of the one

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

nlvorously in Just that restless , devouring

uneasy consciousness of that in her own caao

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 ,

If a woman makes u will before marriage
the fact of her marriage makes the will
worthless. Thlis the common law mlo , nnd
still prevails in the largo majority of stales.
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.
