CHICAGO , Aue. 0. The corn pit was the
center of Interest most of the tiino. Wheat
\vas largely a sldo Issue. Tlio government
weekly crop bulletin showed serious damage
to corn In many states by drouth ami reports -
ports from the country wcro more emphatic
than before , regarding tlio Imminence of ix
Rrcal disaster to tlio crop. There was uotno
weakness near the close on . report that
rain was falling In Nebraska. Compared
with lust night , May corn left oft Ic higher.
Wheat was from 'fjc ' to tfc down. Pork and
ribs are cauh up ' 'Ue and lard 40o. Yransuc-
tlons In corn were not confined so much as
of late to the local trade , tlio outsldu
Interest Increasing and buying orders
wcro numerous. The government weekly
weather crop bulletin demonstrated that the
past woyie was n hanl one , intituling more
tinnmgo than any previous. Today there
were scattering showers through Colorado
nnii the extreme southwest , It being hot ami
dry elsewhere , and private advices reported
considerable injury In Nebraska and other
loading corn-raising status , which a short
time back promised an Immense yield. The
money situation Is in such shape that the
cash trade is greatly curtailed , and has n
dampening effect on the near futures , ex
change cutting considerable of a figure.
The market opened at yesterday's closing
fighrcs , and under urgent demand from
hurts advanced from lo to 1 , ' c for Septem
ber , and IJio for May , working back respec
tively from % c to % c and We , and at the
close the former was up from % c to ) $ < ! and
the latter from lo to I' ' c. Keceipts were
licht. nnd estimates for tuinmorrow uvo also
very moderate.
uhe.it , at tno opening was easy and from
JCito V lower , then improved , prices for
September advancing Ic , and December from
lotol'fc ' , eased off again , and the closing
was about Jfe lower for September , and 140
lower for December than llio closing Ilguro
of yesterday. The lower opening was a
continuation of yesterday's weakness and
the uncertainty in regard to the financial
situation. The reported suspension
of n New York bank may also
have had some effect , but there
was a fair demand at the decline. Shorts
bought some , and there was buying from
other sources on a moderate scale , influenced
by good clearances from the seaboard and
r.ither unfavorable crop news. Operators
nlso expect that the government monthly
report will bo "bullish. " The weekly report
aid that the drouth was affecting the crop
in Minnesota , that the spring wheat crop in
Wisconsin was light und North Dakota suf
fering for rain. Tlicro was $ 'JiOO,000 ; more
gold taken in Europe for America. Cable
advices were of an unfavorable tone , lint
presumably a reflection of tlio American
markets.
Oats showed n hotter trade ) and a strong
feeling duo to sympathy with corn and also
to crop reports being rather unfavorable.
The feature was thostrengthnndndvancu of
ife In May , while September advanced % c.
Tlio bulge brought out liberal selling and
prices reacted from ' o toye , and the mar
ket cloacd steady ,
The provision market was very firm on a
very moderate amount of business. The
firmness was more the result of the small
offerings than of the extent of the buying
orders. The hog receipts , as reported from
the yards , wore only 11,001) ) head , instead of
the 18,000 which had been expected. Some
buying , led by Armour & Co. , caused seine
hurts to cover. Lard was the most active
article on the list. On the advance there
was some long pork sold out , which was
aid to bo thi ) cleaning up of a line which
was only partially liquidated on the slump u
week ago.
There was no improvement in the demand
for vessel room and rates remained easy at
J c asked for wheat and Ic for corn to
liuffnlo.

On the other band , there was llttlo or no

General Electric , in Chic.iRo
Gas , 3 % In Western Union , S
Burlington. 21 in Supar , 2 in lacka-

heavy and the losses resulted ehlelly from
the lack of supporting orders. As on yes

comparatively light , u fact which made

Itself felt during" the last hour of business ,

to cover they found tno supply of slocks
much smaller than expected , and the result
was a rcgulauscramble to purchase near the
close. The heavy Inllux of gold was not

recovery. The transactions aggregated
IM'J.ITG shares , including ! i'J,187 unlisted.
Speculation left off strong iu totio with
quotations hi a number of instances above
those of yesterday.
The Post says : How far the now supply

case the situation is one of tno problems of
the market. The fortnight beginning , with
last Saturday will have added to our stock
of Imported gold upwards of > 0,0X.OOa. ( ) Not
less than $10,000,0(10 ( more will como for now
bank circulation. The gold must continue to

mium exists ; for a bid of 1 per cent , it
should bo remembered , offsets a rise of fully
Ic above the par of sterling exchange.
Today $2,500,000 more is engaged in Ivomlon.
The Bank of England , to meet the American
demand , is drawing now on the Bank of
France's gold a very natural recourse , smco
the French Han It held today ? GO,000,000 moro
than its busbies * needs required two years
ago.
ago.What then is to become of this now money
when it reaches us ? It has not yet cased
perceptibly the llmo loan market. Wall
street today predicts that it , too , will bo
hoarded and the dismal prediction may
como true in part if congress docs not act.
Some of the gold will certainly go into the
saving banlts , some to the interior banking
centers , which in contradiction of all pre
vious examples are now buying specie by
direct aud personal representatives in Lon
don. But this cannot use the whole
imported stock and iu any case oven such
disposition of the money will ease the strain
on the larger centers of capital. In short ,
the movement amounts to a currency expan
sion of iO,000.000 in a fortnight.

Thcso arc days of wild markets and almost
equally wild receipts , The ono causes the
other. Hecclpts of all kinds today wcro
very limited. Receipts for the past three
days foot up 8,7iVJ cattle , ! l,70i : hogs and 4'J-IO
sheep , against 8,2 ; ) ! cattle , 10,20. ) hogs and
1,7SO sheep for the tirst thrco days of last
week.
The supply of cattle was small but made
up almost entirely of natives more or less
cornfcd. There was a > bctter tone to east
ern advices and , as there has been a short-
ace in supplies so far tills week compared
with last of nearly 15,000 cattle , the dressed
beef men were in the market for business.
Competition was good on all useful grades
and the market was active and from lOo to
"Oc higher than Tuesday. Heally choice
cattle were as conspicuously absent as the
inferior grassy grades , but fair to very good
steers weighing from 000 to 1WO ! His.
changed hands readily at from $3.33 to $4 ,
and by the iniddlo of the forenoon trading
was over.
Cow stuff was in very limited supply and
found a ready sale at prices a dime higher
than Tuesday aud a quarter higher than at
the close of last week. Extreme sales of
common 10 good cows and heifers were at
from Jl.SS to$2.l3. ! Veal calves wcro steady
at around $11.75 aud Jl , and bulls were in
poor demand and weak at $1.25 to ? 2.25.
The feeder trade was quiet and dull with
prices steady on good to a shade easier on
common stuff. Good to choice feeders are
quotable at from $2.70 to SU , fair to good at
from J2.50 to $3.70 anil common stud at from
? 2 to $2.50. Kepresentativo sales :

for Interest account during the time required
to obtain tltlo to the property. The bond
holders are also to have a bonus of 40 per
cent in thu common stock.
Tlio scheme to acquire the property is by
foreclosure proceedings on tbu mortgage
reprusuntini. the &IIWO,000 of outstanding
bonds made by the American Water Works
company of Illinois , thu corporation which
owned the Omaha properly prior to the
transfer to the Now Jersey company. There
are now outstanding unpaid about f l.Vi.fiOOof
pnst iluo coupons , nnd on the 1st of Jnlv ,
IH'.in , there matured $ ' .14,000 , and on August 'J ,
? 1U,000.
When this now company , the deal for or
ganization of which is being so cleverly
planned and accomplished , secures thu plant
ir. this city thu intention at that tlmu is to
unload it upon the vltyatan enormous profit.
Under the provisions of the city charter thu
city can acquire and oporatn either water
works , electric light or gas plants. The fran
chise of the American Water Works com
pany in this elty expires July 'JO , 1U05 , and
thu new company hopes in the meantime to
unload on the city.
When tbo foreclosure of the mortgage re
ferred to is made and the plant is placed
under the auctioneer's hammer , the now
company will probably mid a competitor in
the person of the city of Omaha. Thu mem
ber of the council who has given tblt matter
much earnest thought and attention says
that the time is at band for the city of
Ouiuhii to own Its own plant. He btlloves
that when the foreclosure proceedings como
that the city should bu prepared to stup In
and purchase the plant at a reasonable
ligure. He has ascurtuinud that the annual
revenue of tbu Omaha plant is nuarly t-175-
000 , of which tlm city government pays in
the neighborhood of $ SO,000 for hydruiug.

DEPOT FOR INDIAN SUPPLIES.
Coiiiincrclnl Club Ttikcn 1'roiiipt Action to
Secure tliu Locution In Diniiliii.
Tlio desultory talks of locating a depot for
Indian supplies in this city , originated In
Washington by Mr. Tobias Castor , took
duliiuto sliapo Tuesday when the Commer
cial club began a systematic hunt for the
now depot , now located in Chicago.
At a largely attended meeting it was de
cided to forward to the Nebraska senators
and representatives in congress and Secretary
tary Morton a letter setting forth the ad
vantages which Omah.x had over Chicago in
the matter of such a depot , and the follow
ing letter was ordered sent to the above
mentioned gentlemen :
DourSIr Tlio ini'inborslilp of the rommer-
olal club of Oiiiulm iiiL-llldos GUU builMus * inun
of tills city.
A "I'll attended meeting of tlio club was
held today toe milder tliu best count ) to pur
sue to iinlnco tliu location of the depot of
Indian supplies In this oily Instead of Chicago ,
Its present location. Tlio following Is tliu
st'liso of tlio muetlng us expressed :
Thill tlio subject. 1)0 plactid buforo our ineni-
borsof coiiari'ii , now In Washington , and their
Immediate nnd earnest action lie requested In
our bahalf.
Tliu lurutlonnf thU depot at Omnlia would
hoof vast lifiicitit to tlio state of Nebraska and
this city ; It would result In tlui dLslnirsomnut
of large sums of mutiny for purcliaso of grain ,
seed * , imiilementH , meats , Hour and general
merchandise. '
It Is lo In ) considered , In connection with the
muat supply , that Omaha Is tliu third packing
point In tlio L'nlled Stall's ; also that suvoral
nourlug mills urn located at points In Ne
braska , on the railroads between Umalia and
tin ) reservations.
And that Omaha did a Jobbing biislnoss of
jau.OOO.OUO In IMU'J anil has complete repro-
senlation in all classes of Jobbing trade , and
bulls&oodi nt C'hlCHgo prices.
That the railroads running to the Indian
reservations f rein Omaha aru land gran t rusiiN.

Eighty signatures were iUtacho.1 to the
petition , representative In character , and
with the apwul | lo tlui members of congress
Commissioner Utt hopes fordnllnlto action.
Spunking of the matter the coiuuil-sionor
said thatllfi.OOO.OOO were disbursed unnually
by the department fur Indian supplies , )
per cent of which would bo spent hero In
Omaha If a depot c iuld bo located in this
city , "and naturally our jobbers , wholesalers
and others would bo In n position to benefit
by the removal from Chicago. Lincoln
people usually got tbu contracts for supplies
lor the penitentiary aim Insane asylum be
cause they are on the grounds. If it dupot
was located In Omaha our wholesalers would
have an opiwrtunlty to get on the ground
floor if they so desired. It would bo a big
thing for Omaha If wo could secure tliu lo
cation of tills ilejKit hero. "
