So much Is being written regarding the
financial nnd business conditions of the
country that It Is necessary that the situ
ation should change with kaleidoscopic
rupldlty or Micro is danger of the subject bo-
Doming threadbare from such constant uso.
At the great ilnanclal centers whcro there
Is un nctlvo board of trndo nnd where there
ro vast speculative Interests the con
ditions are constantly shifting and every
hour brings forth some now feature. In the
Interior cities like Omnhn the situation does
not chnngo BO rapidly , but business gradually
Brows butter or worsts according as the
circumstances are more or loss favorablo.
Per that reason there Is not much in the
way of news to offer bearing on the local
situation. Trade is in very much the same
condition as was outlined n week ngo nnd
business men do not appear to have
materially changed their views.
They are still keeping close to the shore
ana waiting for the llnnnclal storm to blow
over boforp venturing very far from land.
Goods of all kinds are being purchased In
very modonito volume nnd the trndo par
taken largely ot the hand-to-mouth charac
ter already noted.
Some honvy Jobbers profess to see nn Im
provement In the condition of business , as It
Is Hearing the tlmo when the whole country
nkpects to see easier times and when mer
chants of all classes will bo willing to ns-
euino obligations that they now refuse.
Borne country merchants nro commencing to
talk nbout wanting goods in a hurry n little
later If business picks up ns it is expected it
will In the fall.
Just nt present there nro symptoms of n
better tendency In the financial situation nt
the money centers , which Is somewhat reas
suring nnd has its lullucnco on local business
men. The indications may not bo very dis
tinct , but they are strong enough to give as-
surnnco thnt the general situation is not be
coming any worse.
t Dry tlootln Trndo.
Local Jobbers ot dry goods are talking a
little more encouragingly than they were a
vreok ago und appear to have moro confl-
donco in the future of the trade than they
did. During the past month business has
boon very qulot with them , but they realize
thnt people cannot always do without goods
in their line and thnt there must bo nn not-
ivo demand as soon as conlldcnco is in some
measure restored. Prices have boon forced
down to the lowest notch by the light de
mand nnd the number of mills that have
closed up hits limited production to an
extent that a very little domnnd would
inn It o serious inroads upon current stocks.
Huuco an advancing market is antici
pated as soon ns the full business
"coimnoncns. The trade nil over the country
promises to bo Into this season , but us the
Wool Hcportcr remarks that cannot bo taker
AS un unfavorable indication rather the re
verse. Jobbers roallr.o thnt retailers in
urging or forcing the seasons have not pur
sued a policy which commends itself to con
servative mercantile Judgment , and while
trndo has in the past few seasons put in at
appearance.early In July nnd taken goodf
enough for one season ut once , it was u pol
icy thnt entailed greater risk on all
manufacturer , Jobber and retailer
Trade has boon steadily getting
furtlier nway from the period of Una
distribution for consumption , and the rosul
Is un accumulation of nvlls , a wider dopar
tnre.from correct business principles.
' There is ample limo for the -retailer ti
muko hls.neccssary purchases even shoult
he not slioiv himself until September , nnd i
will bo bettor for all If ho divides his pur
chases , depending upon his ability to dupli
cute according to his actual needs , nnd ii
this way scatters his obligations through thi
oason Instead of , as in the recent past
creating nn obligation which matured bofor
ho hud an opportunity to place the good
upon his shelves. Jobbers uro not dlsturboi
nt ull over the delay j they realize that bus !
ness is to be done , and that while its volura
is not to bo appreciably diminished It 1st
bo done on more conservative mothods.
The Grocery Trade.
Local Jobbers of grqceries report no npprt
otablu change in the condition of trade sine
a week ngo. Business is holding up to abou
the same point us bus distinguished the trad
of Into and there are no new features of In
portanco. Collections are nut getting un
bettor , but on the contrary them are report
from .somo quarters to the effect thnt th
country trade Is not mooting obligations wit
as much promptness ns u month ago.
Tha llimlurnrn Tritite.
Jobbers report thnt they have noted
disposition toward n little improvement i
thu hardware trade , but the improvcmon
' - lias not been largo. The orders coming t
hand are mostly Hinnll and Indicate that th
trade Is buying only for Immediate need :
Collections uro fair , but not up to last year1

COUNTllT rilODUCi : AND ritlllTS.
Trade During the fast VWck Itnthor Dull
nml l atureless. *
Tlioro hasIjoon very llttlo activity in the
market on country produce during the past
week. In most linen both receipts and do *
mnnd have boon light and the volume of
business smaller than Usual. This Is duo in
n largo part to the conditions prevailing In
eastern mantels , which nro depended upon
to take the surplus stock from this markot.
The buUor trade has 'boon sick nnd butter
men hnvo received llttls encouragement to
push the business. The Now Yorit market ,
which has been n good buyer of butter from
the west , no longer vpants it , or docs not
have tho.mohoy to pay for It , nnd the ship
ping dcmaliU Is very .light. Prices on pack
ing stock uro lower hero than they were a
week ago , 1 > ut the dcclino has not been
heavy considering the condition of the ship
ping tradq * .Butter has boon unusually high
nil the summer up to : v week ago , owing
largely to the extensive export trade , which
kept eastern markets cleaned up and created
n good shipping demand. With the decline
in the foreign demand it was to bo expected
that there would bon dropping oft In the
price , nnd the situation has been aggravated
by the money stringency.
The egg market bus been weak nnd Bull.
The receipts have not been larco , but the
local demand is light , as well as the shipplmr
demand , and there Is no snap to the trade.
A great many poor eggs are coming to mar
ket nnd are slow sale at any price. Buyers
appear to think that firsts are poor enough
and they do not want the seconds.
Chickens are not quito ns plenty as they
were ut ono tlmo , but there Is no scarcity.
Choice old fowls for a week or moro have not
boon at nil plenty'and have commanded good
strong prices. About Thursday of each
week there Is a good demand for chickens
from the butchers and the market usually
stiffens up. After this demand is filled and
there are no buyers but the dressers , the
market naturally oases up. It would seem
as If shippers would bo advancing their own
interests by arranging their shipments so
that they would arrive on the markut at the
time of the week when there is the best
demand.
Fruit men have boon doing n fair business
during the past week. The greatest activity
has been In California irutts , which have
constituted the bulk of the receipts. Thus
far the "Pacific coast has boon giving the
country cheaper fruits than usual , and there
Is every prospect that they will continue
along the same line the balance of the sea
son. The closeness of the money market la
preventing the canncrs from operating to
the usual extent , which is forcing the
growers to put a larger proportion of the
fruit on the market green , with the natural
result of keeping prices down. In addition
to that fact there Is n largo crop ot poachc :
in the cast and south , which cuts oft a larg <
amount of business from California and
limits the demand for tluiir fruit by Just sc
much. In spite of the dull times it requires
several curs of California fruit each week tc
supply the demand at this point.
1'roiluco I'ulntora.
Georgia's melon crop Is reported to have
brought to the farmers of that state about
$250,000 this year. The railroads of the stat (
have also taken $100,000 out of the crop.
Now that lemons are so high , our Califor
uia and Florida friends huvo a chance ti
show us what their lemons arc , remark :
Branch's. If they only got the science o :
curing down to approximate perfection w
will not be obliged to depend unon importec
fruit. They are shipping now , and wo trus
each year will improve their methods.
Advices from Lqs Angeles say that thi
nroscnt indications are that the coming
orange crop will bo light to what it has booi
in former years , but the growers nro conli
dcntly expecting good prices. Some tree
nro loaded with fruit-wliilo others Imvi
scarcely any fruit nt all. But very little o
the green fruit dropped from the trees.
Oyster men nro congratulating thcmselvc
upon the near approach of the month will
an "U" in it , and nro already trying to-who
the appetite of consumers. The publi
would like to know if the oyster war of las
season is to bo renewed in Omaha , and 1
oysters will no sold as low hero as at th
eastern points of. production. If the cam
palgn of low'priccs is renewed this seasoi
the nppotito for ' oysters will not be long i :
materializing. .
It may not bo well to mention it so loud ate
to reach the ears of these California shi | :
Dors , says Branch's , but between oursolvu
vro can say that Omaha has had vorylov
prices on California peaches , pears nu
plums so far tnls season way below th
Windy City by the lake. Uoccnt quotation
from Chiuugo show that they have bcou getting
ting 23 to 50 cents moro per box than wo o
the "Gate City. " "When wo consider thu
the freight nnd refrigerator com panic
Hocuro 42 cents par box in car lots on over
box of peaches transported good , bud or ii
different wo trnmblo for the efTeot on th
shipper. But then , California , Delaware
Gconna and other southern states scorn t
bo made of peaches this your , and with n
money for largo canning operations th
quantity used us green fruit must of nocc :
sity bo much larger nnd prices lower tha
any previous season. But poaches and creui
will prove a very acceptable dish , oven if w
have it three tlmus a day- these hard time :
The retail grocers complain n good dc :
about the peddlers who buy up the rort
nauis of the fruit market and dlstribut
them over the city. If It were not for th
peddlers It would bo hardly possible fc
wholesale fruit houses to do business , as th
losses from fruit spoiling would ba so groul
Now when fruit Is becoming too ripe nnd i
in a condition that will not admit of Its hi
Ing held any great length of tlmo the pet
dlors will take it and push its sale and b
hurryliig'it Into consumption save It froi
becoming n total loss. If the grocers woul
no to the trouble to clcnn up the markc
ttioro would bo for the
no use peddlers , j

apples and sort them up and sell the goo

peddler is thu man who has to do that worn
aud ho is thorofm-o a noeosalty and tli
market could not well dispense with him.
The banana trano in this country Is fas
becoming ono of the most Important in tli
whole category of ilnzlu lines of bualncs :
say the Minneapolis Bulletin. Jmprovemur
In the methods of handling the fruit after !

CIIICAOO , Aug. G. It wns ns qulot as a
Sunday school on "change today. Wheat
advanced Ic , nevertheless. The opening
was from &c to Jfc higher than yesterday's
closlnRiind with some lluctuatlons advanced
from JXo to J < o , then hold steady nnd tno
closlnR was nt the opening flRuros. The
Now York bank statement caused some lit-
tlo-reaction , the market soiling oft early to
the Insldo figure * , but ttioro was not much
wheat for sale. The exports of wheat and
Hour from both coasts wore about l.'JCO.OOO
bu. larger than the preceding weo'k nnd
1,050,000 bu. larger than the Correspond
ing week a year ago. Export clearances of
wheat and flour from the seaboard -worn also
larger that last week , nnd the receipts nt
primary markets showed but little Increase.
It la estimated that the visible .supply'state
ment will show a small Increase against an
increase of 2,039,000 bu. for the corresponding
week n year ago.
In corn , initial trades were nt from Jf o to
} { o advance nnd the price sold up.&c , react
ing c. changed some , ruled steady and nt
tno close had lost a fraction. The doclluo
near the close was due to reports of rain In
some parts of Nebraska mid extend inn cast-
ward. Business was yory light.
I'ho feature in oats was the light offerings
which mailo It oas.V for trailers to advance
prices .from fcto Ju'c , but the close wis from
} gc to > c from the top. August nnd cash
were unchanged nt % c , premium for , the
cash-one lot of 50,000 bu. changing hands.
For the first time In several Uaya there
was no apparent concerted support to pro
visions. Some long stuff dribbling out upon
tho.markot caused marked weakness for n
time. Compared with last ulght , however ,
the close on pork is unchanged and Inrd and
ribs only lOo off respectively.
Freights wore , duo to light offerings for
vessel room , nt life for wheat nnd Ic for corn
to Buffalo and J c for wheat and 3c for corn

The 1'ost says ; Opinions will differ
widely ns to the sentence Imposed yesterday
by the Stock exchange on the loader of the
boar party a sentence , all things consid
ered , unparalleled in Us severity. It will at
once occur to most observers thnt the pen-
nlty Inlllcted. llko many criminal sentences
of Judges anil juries , wns measured rnthor to
the known but legally unproved offenses than
to the actually proved misdeeds. This , It
is true , establishes some very delicate
standards of Stock exchange administration.
It is virtually n now precedent. The mem
ber thus suspended for n year from the
privileges of the board was , however , by no
means punished because ho was an nctlvo
boar speculator. Every ono knows that
speculators for the fall are nt times an In-
vnluablo safeguard to market conservatism.
But the speculator who sells stocks because
of dangerous conditions holds different
place from the speculator who creates the
danger in order that ho may safely soil , and
it is aggravated offenses of this character
on which the Stock cxchango has sot Its
seal of exemplary coudomuntion.

Heavy receipts during the early part ot
the week made n dull , weak cattle market ,
but the culmination was on Wednesday ,
when after buying n few of the best cattle
at prices 2T o to 50c lower than Tuesday ,
buyers simply quit , leaving two-thirds of the
cattle in the pens without n bid.
Since then the mavkot has been on
the mend nnd during the past thrco
days 'Jflo to 35o of this decline has been re
gained. The cow market has boun rather
weak nnd featureless , the lluctuntlons being
mostly small nnd In sympathy with fat cattle
values. Continued free country buying has
bold food or vnlues fairly steady , but offer
ings have exceeded the demand somewhat
nnd prices nro probably lOo to 15o lower than
a week ngo.
Tbo week closes wfl.h a rnodornto run of
cattle nnd u good , strong , nctlvo market for
any thing the slaughterers could uso. Not
withstanding the continued favorable tone
o eastern advices , speculative shippers
icld discreetly aloof. The dressed beef
icn , however , till needed supplies
nd as the offerings of suitable beeves were
omowhat limited trndo wns lively nnd
ulcd lOo to 15o higher than Friday and 25o
o 35c higher tlfnn Wednesday , tha. low
ay of the week. There were no strictly
holco cattle on sale , but faire
o very good 1,050 to 1,250-lb. steers sold nt
rom'J.OO to $1.10. Common and inferior
took of all kinds was slow sale und Dtiyors
Id not appear to bo partial to westerns nnd
rices ruled very unsatisfactory , although
ibout the same as on Friday. Fair western
Jeeves sold nt around $2.70 and $2.00. The
eollng on nil sides was moro healthy than
or several days and n fair und reasonably
arly clearance was effected.
Considering the general quality of the
ows offered the market was quotably
trong. AH local houses wanted some , nnd
ho movement was quito froo. Common nnd
ulving grades sold ut from 75o to
l.GTi nnd fair to good butchers'
lock largely nt f 1.75 to $2.25. There was no
mrtlcular change in the market for veals ,
i'lio inquiry was fair aud prices ruled ubout

J.75 nnd $1. Good fat bulls and stags wcro
n fair request nnd steady , selling us high ns
.50 nnd $3 , but common stuff won very
low und dull , selling down around $1 and
Stackers nnd feeders wcro not particularly
active sellers today as the regular dealers
vcro aoout the only buyers. For some roa-
on or ether there wns not the usual good
country demand. Yard traders all needed

WYOMING. v
Hoes The hog market this week has beei
very unstable ' 'driven of the winds UIH
tossed. " Receipts huvo been comparatlvol ;
light , the week's supply being only abou
12,500 head or 15,000 loss than last week nnt
4,000 less than for the correspond
Ing week lust year. The mos
sensational feature of the murko
was tbo collapse of the "corner1' in provls
ions Tuesday nnd the failure of several hirgi
operators nnd packers , which was followoi
on Wednesday by tbo heaviest drop in ho *
values in the history of the tradu. 1'rlco
went oft fully tl at all western mar
licts , nnd hogs sold lower than a
any time during the past flftcoi
months. The Cincinnati 1'plco Current take
n rosy view of the general situation uni
summarizes ns follows ; The marketing o
hogs has been enlarged tbo past week
although not quite equaling the number fo
the corresponding tlmo lust year. Tola
handled by western packers , yoo.OOO , com
pared with 100,000 the preceding week un >
U10.000 . last year. From Nlurch
the total is 4WO,000 ! , against 6,21)5,00 )
u year ago. Decrease for the wee
10.000 , and for the season 1,015,000 , compare
with last year. The current offerings nr
generally of good quality , and , runnln
heavier In weight than lust year. The cui
initiation of the manipulation of hog produc
ut Chicago , occurring on Tuesday , has ten
porarily disturbed trade operations , but th
market seem * likely to become falrl
well settled promptly , nnd In vioi
of the dcclino to a reasonable busi :
with removal of the artificial conditions , BUI
rounding the position , there Is likely to b
nn enlarged shipping business , nnd revive
of speculative interest of ttioonllnury natur
In the leading articles of product. A not ;
bio feature in the changes this week Is quit
u remarkable dcclino in hogs vrhtuh ri
llects the temporary paralysis of th
market and tha Inlluonco of tbo mom
tary stringency. The average of western cct
ters at the close is about $1.35 per 100 Ibi
lower than a week ngo , and considerably bi
low the existing position of product. 1
will not bo unreasonable to look for a reco'
ery of a portion of this decline. The oxpoi
clearances of product for the week wet
quito liberal , more so than hertitofoi
this season with few exception * , the Uftgn
gate bolng In excess of the corruspondin
week last year.
Since Wednesday the advance has been b
big Jump * and the close of the week line
nrlcos within lOo to 15c of lost week's cloa
It may take the market BOUIO tlmo to sou
down after the big shaking up It has r
ceived , but the opinion soerns'vory general
to obtain that the market will bo all the be

The run today was rather he vlor than
wuck ago , but not ut all what would 1
nailed henry. All classes of dealer * were In
need of boss , nnd ns eastern markets wort

DANIEL WEBSTER.
Ills gtrugirlei for nn Kducatlon The Sickly
Child Mini the Knlmit Alan.
The childhood of Daniel Webster did
not show the man. Ho waa u crying
baby and a pnlo , weak , Bickly hey , the
slimmest child iu the family ; but at man
hood he hud a largo , stately frame , u
massive houd and an iron constitution.
The olniiij o hud been effected by work
ing on hiu futher'tf farm , indulging iu
outdoor sportti and living a frugal , tem
perate life.
So robust and largo was his body nnd
ho impreBHivo wan his walk that the aoal-
heavera of London paused In their work
to Bturo at him us ha puubud them , says
the Youth'n Companion.
Sydney Smith likened him to a ' 'stoura
engine in trousers , " adding ho io "u , liv
ing lie , bocauao no man on earth could
bo as great as ho looked. "
Carlyle called liin "a parlimontary
Horoulos , " wliom "ono would inulino ut
sight to back against the world. " '
Perhaps the proatost physical com
pliment ho over received WUH that paid
to his mountain of a head. When Thar-
wuldson , the Danish sculitor ] , buw Web-
stur'ti bust in Powers' Htudio in Koine ho
oxclaimcd : "Oh , a dohign for Juj > iter , I
see ! "
With dillleulty lie was made to believe
that it was the head of tin American.
Webster's early lifo contradicts the
popular notion that man is the creature
of ciremnsUincos. Ho , on the contrary ,
made circuinstuncos his creatures. Ono
01 his friends , writing after his doutli ,
said :
"Ills school tlmo was much inter
rupted , and from his own lips I learned
-that Webster's struggle for an education
was continued from his childhood to his
30th year. Kvory step in advance waa
contested by obstacles which lie mot
with a lion heart , and with a lion's udilr-
ugo overthrow.
"Ills books wore few at this thqo.
There were a copy of Watts' Hymns , a
cheap pamphlet copy of Pope's 'Kssuy on
Man' und the bible , from which lie lli'tit '
learned to read , together with an oc
casional almanac. Ho used to suy that
at the ago of 14 he could recite the wliolu
of the MCssay on Man. '
"Ho entered Dartmouth college iu 17fy7 ,
but was desperately poor. , . A friund Kent
a recipe while at college for greasing
his boots. Ho wrote back and thanked
him very politely , 'But' ho added , 'iny
boots need other doctoring , for they not
only admit water , but oven pous aud
gravel stones , ' " ,
