Three Fnctorlen to Consume It
Holiday * Cut Down Ilimlncmi.
An Intervening holiday always Acts es a
demoralizing factor to the. general course
ot trade , and the experiences of last week
tfld not form any exception to the General
rule. The closing down of places of busi
ness , oven for one day , seems to distract
the minds of * he public from business mat
ters nnd affairs seldom get back to the
normal before the close of the week. For
tunately for the merchants there was a
good demand last week for holiday mer-
Clwiidlse , which helped to offset what de
crease there may have been In the sales .
Of staple line * . The war spirit pervading |
In nil ceci i
the air seemed to make people
tlons ot the country crave anything that
would make a loud noise , and accordingly
large sales of fireworks were reported from
alt directions. At the came time there was
a rood trade In other holiday goods , such
os nuU , candles , fruits , etc.
Generally speaking , the retail trade of
Omaha and surrounding territory Is In n.
very sntl factory condition. Money In gen-
rai circulation appears to bo reasonably
easy , and consumers generally arc liberal
purchasers of both staple and fancy lines.
The season of. the year Is approaching
when the annual migration countryward
takes place , and In the near future the
absence of many of their best customers
Will bo felt by the city retailer.
Local Jobbers nro reasonably busy for
this- season of the year , though In many
lines no great activity is ever looked for
at this time.
Grocery Mnrket Firm.
The fcellnc In canned goods Is flrm. Ad-
Tlces from San 'Francisco are to the effect
that the so-called canneries trust is approaching
preaching completion. The work of ap
praising the plana upon which options are
held has been finished , and the prices fixed
by the owners , on all but somu eight or
nine , are Bald to bo satisfactory. It IB not
expected , however , that the combination ,
even If It becomes an assured faot , will
have very much influence upon the market
this year. The Idea , U Is said , Is to allow
each cannery to act Independently In marketing
' while the details
keting this season's product ,
tails of organization are being matured seas
as to bojn a position to control affairs
f next yean Southern teas of the new pack
I nro flrm nnd prices have an upward ten
dency owing to the smallness of the pack.
Ths western crop Is BIU an unknown quan
tity , but from reports from different centers
It Is said that the output Is likely to be
nmaller than -was expected. Spot string
beans are reported to be In sma l supply
nnd the market flrm.
The sugar market Is flrm. but no change
of Importance has taken place for several
Cays. At the present time the migar bet
crop In Nebraska 1s very promising. The
Grand Inland and Norfolk factories are
eald to have a fair average acreage with
the prospect of turning out about th |
Usual amount of sugar. The Standard
Beet Sugar company ot Ames. Neb. , Is
pushing the work on the now factory nt
that point , with the expectation of com
pleting It In time to commence work Octo
ber 1. They claim to have a large ncreag-s
of beets , and n representative of that
factory remarked last week that their plan
vras to prokluce as much sugar ns both of
the old factories combined. The Am s
people ore experienced In the growing of
beets , having for several years been heavy
growers for the old factories.
Other JoblilnR I.tiics.
Boot and shoo people report everything
moving alone In n satisfactory manner In
tholr lino. Orders for fall delivery are
coimlnc In quite freely and the general
situation appears to be favorable.
No change of Importance has taken place
In dry goods circles and conditions are as
usual during the first half of July.
Considerable building Is going on In the
city and the lumber yards all appear to be
doing a nice llttlo business.
Among hardware men the Iron market
la the chief subject of conversation. It is
really a matter of surprise that the coun
try demand holdo up eo well In the face
of the enormous Increase In values. When
a windmill or pump costs the farmer
double th * price of a year ago , as Is now
the case , It would in nowise bo mirprlslng
jf he were to defer the Improvement for
Another year. In the cast It Is remarked
that the farmer trade Is of less Importance
than formerly , and that the big buying is
for railroads , public works , manufacturing
nnd mining Interests. The manufacturers
are consoling themselves that if the agri
cultural buying grows dull there Is the ever-
Incrcaalne foreign demand as an offset.
iFrult nnil Produce.
Fruit and vegetable business has been
limited largely to the handling of tomatoes ,
melons , California fruit and new potatoes.
Bo far this eeason there does not appear
to have been very much satisfaction In the
handling of California fruit. There is al-
'wnyB extra risk in handling early peachea
and any ono la doing well who can play
ven on Hate's Early and Alexander
'peaches.
Bo far this haw been a good year for
melons. The season opened ten days earlier
than usual , the first Texas melons having
put in an appearance Juno 13. Up to the
present time the supply has come entirely
from that state , but Missouri expects to
commence shipping about the middle of the
month. Texas has been pouring melons
into Omaha at a rapid rate , and It Is noth
" ing unusual to eeo several carloads on
track 1 one ] time. When It Is considered
that a car contains anywhere from 1,000 to
J.GOO melons some Idea may bo gained of
what It tako3 to satisfy the public appetite
In this locality. ( These melons nro selling
by the wholesale largely at Irai5c each ,
but the Texas grower , after paying freight
and other expenses Incident to the market
ing of the crop , only has left 2Vifl > 3c.
Omaha has used moro southern new pota
toes this season than usual owing to the
fact that the supply of old potatoes waa
exhausted rather early In the spring.

Were Active.
CHICAGO , July 8. After an early ad
vance ot Ho today wheat turned weak on
heavy country offerings and closed with a
net decline ot He. Corn ruled Independently
strong and closed Uc higher. Oats lost Uc.
Provisions ruled active and surprisingly
Btrong. Pork advanced 20c , lard 12V4o and
ribs 15c.
Wheat opened unchanged to lic ( higher at
73H073c for September. Traders were in
clined to avoid new committals to cither
side , In view of the government crop report
due next Monday. Reports from North
Dakota to the effect that a scourge of grassHoppers -
Hoppers was feared stimulated some buying ,
but the bulls appeared weak-kneed and
after getting September up to 74Jc } there
was a grand rush to secure profits.
Soiling orders poured in from the northwest -
west , from whence buying orders should
naturally have originated had there been
any substantial fears ot damage from "hop
pers. " The market became greatly con
gested and half an hour before the close
September slid off to 73c. The close was
only a shade above the lowest at 73Vi < 8"3Hc.
Primary receipts , while stlll > extremely
heavy , showed a steady falling off. They
were 652,000 bushels today , compared with
168,000 bushels a year ago. Chicago re
ceived 93 cars , compared with 11 n year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth got 366 cars , com
pared with 33 last y ar. Atlantic port clear
ances footed up only 260,000 bushels wheat
and flour.
Corn ruled flrm , Influenced principally by
t'ho ' strength In provisions. Local receipts
were 969 cars. Crop reports were generally
favorable. Total exports for tire week ot
over 4,000,000 bushels , more than twice the
amount exported the same week of last
year , helped strengthen t'ho market. Sep
tember opened steady at 33Hc , advanced to
34o and closed at 33c , a net gain of Vic.
Oats ruled dull and featureless. Cash
demand was extremely light and checked
speculation. Receipt's were 267 cars. Sep
tember opened He lower at 20c. sold up to
21o and closed nt 20-Tic.
Provisions were active and strong' from
utari to llnlsh. An advance- lOc In liogs
nt the yards stimulated buyers In all de
partments at the operilng. Great improve
ment was reported In the cash demand , both
domestic and foreign. September pork
opened 7VJc higher at J8.62V4 , advanced to
J8.77& and closed at JS.7B , a net gain of 20c.
September lard' opened 2c higher at J5.25 ,
advanced to J5.37& and closed at J5.33 , a net
gain of 2&c. September ribs opened Be
higher at J4.95 , advanced to J5.10 and clo&fcd
nt J5.05 , a net gain of 15c.
Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat ,
135 cars ; corn , 610 cars ; oats , 223 cars : hogs.

MOVEMENTS OP STOCKS AND BONDS.
Action of the Stock Exchange Jn tl-
flecl the Moat Sniierulue.
NEW YORK , July 8. The character
of the trading In stocks was much
confused throughout /today's / session
at the Stock exchange. There were
points of aggressive strength which
encouraged the maintenance of prices ,
but the certainty of an unfavorable
bank statement encouraged the continu
ance of profit taking In same of the stocks
which have recently advanced several
points In price. On 'the publication of the
bank "statement the whole- market Bold oft
and net gains wore preserved1 in only a
few cases. The liquidation was 'by ' no
means heavy and the boars covered short
contracts at the decline , causlnir a. rnJlv
from the Jew point.
The denials of the reported alliance be
tween Pennsylvania and New York Central
led to declines in thooe stocks , but the
amount ot selling was remarkably email.
The 'bank statement , on Ha face , presents
an extraordinary condition of affairs. It Is
almost unprecedented to have the cash re
serves down to within a little over $5,000,000
Of the 5 per cent required by law at this
time of year. Yet .tho bonks expanded
tholr loans during the week nearly J7.000-
000 , when they were already .at the high
est Ilgure on record last week. The con
clusion la unavoidable that the banking
authorities eeo prompt relief In certain
prospect. In fact , the easing tendency of
money during the latter part ot the week
hews that the relief Is already at hand.
It comes In largt part from the , release of
funds that had be n accumulated for the
disbursement ot semi-annual obligations.
It Is also taken Into consideration that In
terior points are better supplied with
money than ever before , so that the con
viction is hild In banking circles that
tightness in t'ho ' New York money market
would bring funds from interior points to
New York.
The action of the stock market this week
has Justified the confidence of those who
bought securities last week in the belief
that opportunity would b offered to rea
lize profits quickly. The expected demand
for stocks was forthcoming , but It was so
freely fed with offerings accumulated last
week that tlu strengthening effect on
prices was offset and the tide turned In
favor of reaction. Thus. In spite of a very
active market for'the short week after the
long holiday period , the net changes are
'not conspicuous In the majorltv of cases.
The profit taking was most effective early
In the week In Pennsylvania , and New York
Central and the Vanderbllts. Selling was
not heavy In < lther of these , but the large
and confident buying of last week wus
discontinued and prices were not supported ,
The early disposition to take profits In the
grangeru waa offset by the statement of
St. Paul's earnings for the fourth weik
In June , showing an Increase of nearly
J300.000 over the corresponding week of last
year. With the largest earnings In Its his
tory , thus recorded for the fourth' week ,
th ; month of June , and the fiscal year HSS ,
the effect was encouraging- the new
fiscal year just opening , the more eo as all
reports of railroad earnings received dur
ing the w&ek showed the same prosperous
conditions on railroads In all sections of the
country.
Much stress U laid on the large amount
of the year' * earnings that have been rein
vested In railroad properties , resulting In
higher efficiency and paving the way for
future reductions In the ratio of operating
expenses. There were Incidents corrobora
tive of the earlier rumors of far-reaching
combinations of control of railroad systems ,
calculated to make possible more econom
ical administration and < o facilitate co
operative measures for conducting traillc.
But In ujilte of these factors of strength lu
the general out.ook , the tendency toward
reaction In the railroads prevailed owing to
the recent condition * . Profit-taking was the
main factor. Rut there won In addition
so mo apprehension that spring wheat hud
been damaged by heavy rnlns and there
were fArs of damage to railroad property
by the Texas Hoods. The most potent In
fluence toward reactions was the failure of
the money market to weaken as expected
under the distribution of half-yearly Inter
est and dividend disbursements. Tlm
money could rondlly be had nt from 3 to
84 per cent , but call loann were slow to
yield below 6 per cent. In London both call
money and the discount rate fell below 3
per cent , reflecting the relaxation of pres
sure for the ha'.f-yoarly settlement. Enor
mous loans were liquidated , both nt the
Bank of England and the Bank of France.
The strain on the money market In Berlin
nnd Vienna was not so much relieved , ex
changes continuing to run against London.
But confidence was shown that the string
ency there would also relax soon and that
no further demand would be made on New
York for gold. The easier money conditions
In London brought largo buying ot stocks
In New York for London account , until
money rates there began to harden ngaln.
The week's trading on the Stock exchange
has been distinguished by some reawaken
ing of Interest In industrial Issues , na the
market for railroad stocks fell Into dullness
on the reaction. The older dividend-paying
Industrials have been favorites , but some
of the .newer ere and metal combinations
have a.so shown signs of life , notably the
coppers. Amalgamated Copper has moved
up several points In the outnldo market , but
is still below the original subscription price
and Anaconda has been nctlvo nnd strong.
Bonds have shown Increased activity and
strength.
United States new 4s advanced , the 3s
and the 5s H in the bid price.

HOGS-LIberal receipts at nil market
points on the last day of the week would
seem to stand for a lower market , but to
offset this was the good demand and en
couraging reports from all markets' ' The
result was that the hogs sold Be higher
and in some cases 7V4o higher than yester
day and the market wan fairly active at the
advance , so that practically everything
changed hands early In the forenoon.
A few big heavy and rough loads sold
down to $3.82 , but the general run of the
good mixed loads went at $3.85 nnd light
loads at $3.87MO3.90. : It will bo remembered
that yesterday over half of all the hogs
here sold at $3.80 or under.
The tendency of the hog market has been
upward for the last two weeks' ' and at the
close of the present week It Is at the high
est point touched since the month of July ,
1893. At the opening of the present week
hogs ware sailing on an average at $3.78. so
that there has been considerable gain. The
market is now 12V4o hgh ! r than It was nt
the clone of t'ho previous week. The de
mand has been good all the week nnd buy
ers have taken everything received very
readily at current prices. Representative
