With the opcnliiB of the current month truilu conditions becnmo fur more prom ising , owitiB to the improved crop prox- lxctH. and the pnst week hus witnessed no chance In thu guncral situation. From nil parts of the territory trluutnry to this market the reports itrc the game , oil Indl- catl'nc fplendlil croj > conditions , lluslnesrt men nru bccomlnK mote conlldent every tluy , and uro pruparlni ; for a prosperous HeiiKon to come. The jobbing tmdo of this city , after a prolonged period of quiet , Is once more taking on the appearance of activity. While the volume of business fulls fur Hhort ot what would be expected In nn or dinary season , It Is muih better than It wa * a month HBO. U Is not to be under- Htood that there Is anythltiB like a boom In sight , but only a gradual Improvement , which keeps pace with the Brewing crops. Sates of merchandise are still , based very largely upon the actual wants of consump- " " " 'month nno the dry weather djscour- nged buying nnd merchants generally let their mocks inn down. and. now that the prospect Is more hopeful , they nro forced to stock up , and Jobbers , without cxcei- tlon , are reporting nn Increase In the num ber nnd slzu of their orders. much moro money in There Is not very circulation than a month ago , but It is generally believed that a contlnuanco of the present bright prosm-cts will before long brine It out. lxW prices , with the pros pect of an advance , will be n great tempta- tlon for Investment on the part of those who have money. rmciis cmowiNci FIUMEII. In the line of hardware there Is a ntrenEthenlng ot values , nnd the whole market is on the upgrniic. Nearly every thing In the line of staple goods. In which Jnatcrlal cuts any figure , has advanced D to 10 per cent. Itarb wire has gone tip IS cents per hundred during the past week. It Is figured that the advance In the raw material , together with the advance In Inbor , amounts to about 10 per cent , anil the manufacturers are forced to put up prices to avoid an actual loss on their froods. Manufacturers of pretty much al staple products are now running on gooil time , nnd some of them turning out sup plies to nlmo.-tt a normal extent. Increasing cost of Iron and metals Influences hard ware to n considerable extent. In the grocery line the market has beer Hteady on most lines during the past week nnd there have been few features of anj great Importance. The prices now beliu realized , while generally higher than thei were nt the beginning of May , nre sill below the figures ruling at this time lasl year , nnd much lower than those currenl in May , 189:1. : when the period of depresslor began. Grocers In the east are pointing i out that there Is an Increased demand foi fancy groceries , which Is n sure sign o ; returning prosperity. This branch ot tin trade has languished for u year back , bill l again getting Into n more healthy comll tlon. In the east , at least. It Is between seasons with the dry goodi people , and no great activity Is looked for nnd yet tha Improvement In the feeling ex tends to this branch of the trade , as wel ns to others. In consequence of the brl h prospects prevailing In the country , pn-par utlons for the fall trade are being made 01 a scale Indicating that a large business I : prospected. Prices In dry goods havi firmed tip. though they are not back when they were before the dull times came on rind , with thu purchasing power of tin people Increased by a good 'rim. the fill trade In the dry goods line oo.di ! haidl : be otherwise than most satisfactory. The shoo trade has experienced about th < name improvement ns other line ? ot th Jobbing trade. Orders for dillverv na\ month , or later , nre being D.-oke'l vcr freely at the present time. . It Is really ; turprlse to jobbers that there should b nuch n sudden Improvement ; n the f ylln : In such a short space of time. I-'ACTOIIY FACTS.

The local representative of the Sno\ Church & Co. , Commercial Agency. In vie ing the business situation , sums It up as fo lows : The business situation In Omaha and N < braska during the week just endingIK H ' been decidedly good as compared with pr. vlous weeks. The farming communll -I throughout tha state Is happy , contentt . and jubilant and the business communlt ; - of course , dependent almost entirely upc tha ngrlculturc of the Mate , Is consequent feeling good. The crops are everything i present , at leant BO far as corn Is coi I cerned , that could bo dotilred. There hi been plenty of rain nnd none would I needed , as we arc advised from credltab und reliable sources for ten days or t weeks. Omaha's trade In the far west Is belr pushed very rapidly and large bills n being sold. Thn only hail feature that v know of In selling In the extreme west the largo expense In getting the order Omaha houses felling In Montana , Idal nnd Wyoming report payments with n fa degree of promptness. All lines handled I the Omaha merchants , particularly dnin oils n nil boots nnd shoes , show1 a satlsfn tory nnd growing business. There Is pra tlcally no change In the furniture or liar wurt * trades. Omaha has just got through with anolh convention , that of the druggists , and tl members of the association from all par of the state report themselves ns W ( pleased with the treatment th < received whllo here. Omaha cannot ha- too many conventions. They bring n only the distinct members of the body the city , but they bring a great mat Htrangers who all da moio or less adve tlstng for the dry. It Is gratifying" to note that the head out ? of the very largo dry goods houses New Vork thinks well enough of Omaha establish what will eventually grovr Into very large department house hero and v understand that It Is the Intention ot tli gentleman to open a house with a pr Itmlnary slock of goods of at least > 100C In vnlue. This certainly shows that Omal must bo considered n good point for tl clam of business nnd It nlso shows no fi rm Iho part of the projector lhal Omni If going backwards. It has been general tmppoxcd that the ColdKrabcivt of Linco nnd Fremont were to open this store. Tl : is not true. They may have something lo with It , but merely In a clerical c parity. Taking everything Into eonslderatlo abundant crops promised and the satisfa tory condition of bu lnes * . the outlook cvrtaliily encouraging and It Is to be hop that Omaha and thu state will receive setback and , as far ns can be judged this time there Is not even the smulle cloud on the horizon.

The Moral which wrecked the Collma wan unusual on the 1'aclMc anil It swept from the Central American equatorial helt to the far north- past , losing Itself beyond the great taken. Kxtreme heat In April and extreme cold In May , together with many olhcr Incidents of the year or two past , sugKC.it the possi bility that the present years are epochal In climatology. At South Umflha business Is extremely ( lull , One day this week the receipts were fifty carloads and the market was so llsllpss and Indifferent that the- shipper sent Hie mock on lo Chicago. The packing- hotifea are open , bill tht-y nro not active and but lltllislock Is coming In. Within thirty days , however , range cattle will be fat and desirable. The market will then awaken iitul business In thu packing suburb will resume Its old familiar proportions. Cattlemen say thai there arc plenty of cattle on the plains nnd they anticipate n very active market this summer and fail. fail.With With the wholesale hou cs everybody feels encouraged. Groceries are of course In big demand. The dry goods people stale that their trade was never so good as during the past week. Several opening stocks and large sales brought the aggregate up tea a llgure exceeding any previous week. The boot nnd show houses nre enjuylng pros perous trade , but they nre not ultogelher happy. In fact , among all the Jobbers there Is rt sentiment stronger Ihun ever for anolher dry goods haute. Many llrsl-clnss men In trade bellove that they should lake hold of this subject and offer a subsldv If m'fcswiry In order lo add one more "dry goods house to the market. The grain men of the city arc alert again , new houses nro going Into the business nnd efforts are being actively-put forth to re open the Idle elevator. * . Iltislncss is reviving everywhere.

CORN HAD NO INDEPENDENT ACTION It Declined When WliontVm Weak and Advanced When It Ilrgiilnoil .Strength Crop Damngo Ht-pnrls Agntn a rentura on 'ClmiiRo. "CHICAGO , Jiinp 8. Wlirat turned from quite weak early In the session today to very strong nt the close on further crop damage reports , ufter declining Ic per Ini. under Its highest value made. In the first half hour It rose 2o and closed at 81ic for July , which Is l&c rise since the close yesterday , and Is the highest closing price so fur this season. Corn , oats and provisions sympathized with the strength In wheat. Oats are Ic higher , while corn only gained Uc and i ork , lard and ribs are but modestly advanced. Although the first sales of wheat were at from > 'sc to l c over the closing price yes terday , the llnal dealings were compara tively tame. There were no new features In the surroundings of the market. The weather was still dry In the winter wheat area and wet In the Hprlng wheat region. The chief Items of eaily news comprised the publication of the state crop reports of Michigan and Illinois and the particulars of the week movement. The Michigan report gave average condition for the state at 7:1 : , or about 10 per cent reduction for the month. The Illinois repirt gave the average for the slate at 62. as compared with 92 per cent on May 1. These reports , bail as was the state of affairs they Indicated , wcru not quite so bad as the Imagination of some of the speculators hud pictured the condi tions , and consequently their effect was bearish rather than bullish. The Argentine shipments were smaller for the week , ac cording to u private Llvcn > eel cablegram , but that also ns a piece of news fell Hat In consequence of having been expected. The week's shipments of flour and wheat , as published by Urnilstreet's , amounted from both coasts to 2.391,000 btl. , 801,000 bu. of which was from the Pacific side. The total on the week before was 2 , 102,600 bu. , and on the corresponding week of last year 2.742- 000 Ini. The aggregate decrease of wheat and Hour in the United 3tate < t and Canada for May , a.4 given by the Dally Trade Hul- letln , was 19.35.1.000 bu. , and deducting- Increase of 4,000,000 bu. In Europe and alloat , the net amount of the world's de crease for May was 15,353,000 bu. The mar ket acted rather heavy for an hour or more. I'ardrldge took a hand In the market , and around 80c for July he began to feed the bulls with short wheat. Tlin price gradu ally but surely declined to SO'/ic , and after hanging between that and RUVic for a. time It slid off to 79-ttc. The decline wan helped by mlvleea from St. Louis of the arrival there of a carload of new wheat from Kansas and other telegrams relating tc threshing returns from the same state , which mentioned twelve bu. per aero from n Held of 1,200 acres. Hut there was an ex cellent Inquiry for cash wheat , 100.000 bu being takx ri to go to Toledo. Sonje car loads were sold for IMttsburg , als ) . am ; other places which seldom buy direct frorr Chicago. Then cumo rumors of hot winds In California having damaged crops there from 15 to 20 per cent , the Modern Miller's estimate of not over Co per cent of an average - age crop of winter wheat , anil the last am. most unkindly cut nf all , chinch bugs Ir the spring wheat. It was a mere rumor but It created a commotion In the minds ol the traders , while the price was enrouti for 81-Tic for July , which It reached am where It closed. The. corn market had no Independoni action of Its own. It declined when wheal was weak nml advanced when It regalnei strength. The crop prospects were as gooi as ever , but the receipts are giving no lgn : of Increasing. The lnsp ° etlon In store todaj was 22S cars nml the outward Inspectlor 348,000 bu. July opened at from Ej'Ve tc r > 2Vic , advanced to 52ic , reacted to fron 52c to 52c , then once more advanced untl It reached 53' < , c , the closing price beltu 52V.C , OB against 62c yesterday. Kor n Saturday , business In oats was verj active. Further reports of crop damage Indicating that the condition Is much mon unfavorable than It has been , created sotm anxiety among shorts , and there was frei buyingby them. Trading was heavy art * principally general. July started at fron SOVit * to iOc. sold at from ic to SOHc advanced to SIVic and closed at from 3l',4 to 31(4c. ( The provision market was firmer and re covered the light loss of the day before Hog receipts were only 10,000. makingth week's supply 172,000 , against 177,000 a yea ago. The run for next week Is not expectei to exceed 155,000 head. Compared with yes terday's close , pork la from lOc to 12U higher , lard 2V4c higher and ribs un 3c.

The receipts of cattle of all kinds have been light , especially good fat beeves , but that fact was not sulllrlent to hold up the market. The week opened with n firm market , but values weakened on Tuesday and the downward course of the market commenced In earnest on Wednesday. Kor the week the decline amounts to about 30o on an average , lle- flldes being lower , the trade has been slow and dragging every day , with the buyers In different. As noted above , good cattle have not been at all plentiful and the highest price paid during the week was $ r > .lo for 1,350-lb. cattle on Monday. As high as { T > .03 was paid on Wednesday , but there have been very few cattle In the yards good enough to touch jr. . Today's receipts numbered thirty-nine loads , a gain of twelve loads over yester day's run. There were a few pietty de cent steers among the offerings , but noth ing very choice. The market was very slow and dull and there was not much change In the situation as compared with yesterday. Some 1,201-11) . beeves , the best cattle In the yards , sold at $1.80 , while a few other loads went at from Jl to JI.60. There were a few small bunches of cows and heifers , which sold nt about steady prices.

Ho hail liocn IOIIK In cnntllct with both llrltlsh anil KRyptlnn atithorltlos on the Question of Irrigating n cortnlu illstrlct , nml foiinil them almost enunlly coniervatlvc. After n time ho met I.onl Cromcr , Just nrrlvcil In the country , nnd wns rocolvvil with n chilling coolness. " 1 really cut not go Into these matters with you. " alil Lord Cromer , "because 1 hoar that you treatnl my predecessor with firont illscotirtesy. " "Discourtesy ? Dlscottrtosy ot what nature ? " "Oh , 1 am Informcil that you ncctisod him of cr In fact , that you Insinuated he was untruthful. " "I ? Oh , tlenr me , no ! Not at all. The truth of the matter was Just this : I bail to charac terize his attitude In BOIIIO way. Now , you ee , I couldn't sprnk of his simplicity , because It would not be exactly compli mentary. Of course , I couldn't speak of his multiplicity , because that wouldn't bo true , you know. So , naturally. I had to call It duplicity , don't you see ? U really was forced upon me , you understand. " Senor Canovas , the prime minister of Spain , rojtilcrs , according to a New York Tribune contributor. In the nickname of "Tho Monster. " From the purely physical point of view he merits the soubriquet , for he Is without exception the "ugliest states man of any prominence In the Old World. Short , siniat , awkwardly built , a clo/e- cropped , scrubby mustache falling to conceal his Irregular and discolored teeth , coarso- ( caturcd nnd squinting violently , ho adds to all these attributes an almost ungovern able temper and a most undisguised and unmitigated contempt for his fellow-croa- tnrcs. " Canovas , It seems , began life as a subor dinate railroad employe ; then ho tried Jour nalism as a profession , next ho drifted Into law. and then Into politics. Ho has won derful powers of oratory , which stand out pre-eminent In a country where all are elo quent , and his patriotism Is described as "above reproach. " The prlmo minister of Spain does not "hit It off" very well with the queen regent , owing. It Is said , to the brusque and Inconsiderate way In which he behaved toward her at the time of her hus band's death. Nor docs the premier stand high In the good graces of the little king. Entering tha royal lad's presence some weeks ago , the conservative leader addressed him nH llubl , the pet name used by his mother. The familiarity greatly offended the 8-ycar-old monarch , for , with an air of disdain , he exclaimed - ' claimed : "I am only nubl'for mamma , for you I am ol Hey ( the king ) ! " A resident of Cincinnati who knew Sousa , the bandmaster , when ha wns a boy In Washington , says : 'Ills mother was a Ger man and his father a Spaniard , and though they hod other children Mrs. Sousa would always talk of 'my Chonny , " as If ho was the only one , 'Chonny1 had every whim gratified. Ho wanted a piano , and got It ; a. violin , nnd got It ; a drum , got It ; n horn , got It. His parlor was like music store. He played everything with ease. H " 'as at flrst a drummer ! x > y In the army , but Inter got charge of the Marine band , whether by Influence or merit , I do not know. That gave him room to develop , and he did to an amazing extent. He Is now handled by a syndicate , which furnishes him musicians , pays all his expenses nnd gives him a net salary of $0,000 a season. Besides ho hag the profits from his musical publications. Ills managers arc making money on him , and Sousa Is enjoying the tour , for ho nan absolutely no responsibility but the con ducting of the band at concerts. In the English Protestant cemetery , writes a Homo correspondent of the Cleveland Leader , and but a few feet distant from the tombstone of Shelley , lies a marble slab over the grave of a well known authoress. In former She was a Cleveland woman years , and many arc the admirers of her numerous writings. AH I looked upon her grave I could not but regret her untimely taking off. for her llfo gave still greater promise of usefulness In the literary world , nut God's finger touched her , and she slept , nnd the Inscription upon the stone Is : Constance Konlmoro Woolson. 1894. The Inscription Is stifllclont.
