on Mvc Stuck llclii.
The wheel * of commerce ran smoothly
lost week , but none too rapidly. This is
the last of July and anything like activity
In trade circles would bo unnatural. The
month , as a whole , has been very much
like obiter Julys , better than some , but
not eo good aa others. In other words ,
business for thirty days back 1ms been In
the condition usual for the midsummer
Benson , partaking largely of a routine
character. A great many people ore ab
sent on tholr annual holiday outings and
the volume of business Oolng In a retail
way chows the effects , lut tnat ocfiirj
every Bcasor. and the loss of trade from
this cause la one of th things that mer
chants figure on as a matter of course.
A year ago the exposition was drawing
people io the city and the general retail
fousln ! 9 doing , taking Into account both
largo and email stores , was probably some
what greater than now , but for all that
trade at the present time may be counted
good OH Julys go.
Down In the wholesale district of the
city everything has been moving along In
the usual channels. The dry weather pre
vailing over the 'greater part of the state
call cd some little anxiety and In some
localities retail merchants may have
bought a little more sparingly than they
would otherwise , but Thursday's rain
came In tlmo to prevent any damage.
From practically nil sections of the state
roiwJ-tB nro most encouraging and Jobbers'
hopes and prospects go up In proportion as
the crop outlook brightens. The month of
July nan witnessed very fair midsummer
iimm ILL luuui jLruuiiiK IIUU.IUM , uiiu us u
rule Jobbers express themselves as well
nntlsflcd with results.
Speaking of crop prospects , the most cn-
thUdlaatlo men on that subject are Iho
grain ilcalcra and , na It will be conceded
that they keep closer track of the situation
than any one else , their opinion must
carry great weight. Reports from < hat
source , without excopMon , nre most en
couraging and the moro enthusiastic of the
dealers declare that Nebraska never did
have bolter prospects at this season of the
year for a bumper crop. The wheat
ncrengo was somewhat reduced In certain
localities , but 'the fields that were winter
killed wcro plowed up nnd put Into corn , the
reduction In 'the acreage of ono cereal
merely adding to that of the other. "Corn
everywhere , you can't see anything but
corn , BO rank and of such healthy color , "
Is the way the most of them describe ap
pearances out In the state. The crop Is
now so far advanced -that It would take the
vary worst kind of weather to spoil it.
These who 'havo looked Into the matter say
that the state never produced such an oat
crop aa Is now being harvested , and much
of it Is already secured In shock or stacks.
A large crop of corn and other cereals
always means peed times In Nebraska , Ir
respective of any other drawback that may
! b presented. Should prices provo satis
factory a genuine business boom would be
In order. Art present writing th outlook
In this respeot Is favorable , for , while crop
reports In this country generally Indicate a
liberal yield , which would mean no moro
than fa4r prices , the prospect for a good
export demand wllh the usual accompani
ment of higher prices Is decidedly favor
able. Every report regarding foreign crop
conditions Is less favorable than the ono
preceding. A few -we ks ngo the reports
collected nnd given out by the French Mil
lers' association Indicated that the French
crop would be likely to turn out as well ns
that of last year , though it was admitted
that tills depended upon the maintenance
of very favorable conditions and some de
crease from last year would not be sur-
prlRlm ? , Already commercial authorities are
estimating that the crop will be 20,000.000
bushels less than last year , and some of the
estimates of the decreased yield ere greater
< Jia.n this. Reports from Russia are stead
ily growing worso. As to wheat , they nre
particularly bad from the provinces that
supply the greater part of the , exports.
The Russian shortage Is now variously es-
, r timated at from 85,000,000 to 120.000,000 bush-
It ela compared with last year. The crop of
| | Roumnnlo , Bulgaria , Italy and Spain nro
now ostlmaited to be In the aggregate 70-
000.000 bushels or more , behind those of last
year. The Indian wheat crop harvested
last ( March was 17.000,000 bushels less than
the crop harvested In March , 1SOS. The
wh'at crops of Germany and Austria are
good and that of Hungary Is a little bet
ter than that of last year. The rye crop
of Germany Is or.ly "fair , " considerably
ehort of being " " nd in
"good , many prov
inces of ' .Russia It la very poor. Peasants
who cannot get rye will probably not get
wheat as a substitute , but very largo crops
of ryi * would bo favorable to the exporta
tion f whea * from Russia nnd would prob-
nbly have some effect In reducing the Ger
man demand for wheat.
The very excellent prices now prevailing
tnr llvn ntook must have a favorable In-
fluenco upon business , placing , as it uoea , in
the hnncls of the farmer a liberal amount
of surplus cash. During this week cornfcd
cattle touched J5.SO and a large proportion
of the receipts sold at J5 or better. These
prices mean good profits for the farmer
and feeder. Hogs , too , during the month
of July have advanced rapidly , starting In
at J3.70. touching $4 on the 12th and JI.S5 on
the 24th. these prices being the average
of till the snles on the days mentioned.
These prices are the highest for the month
of July since 1895 and they mean good
profits for the growers.

Apprehensions of frost , higher cables
from Liverpool mid reports of lack of
moisture In India caused a firm and higher
opening In wheat. September started U0-Vs
higher , at 71HiT71V4c. Transactions at 71Hc
were extremely light and the market Im
mediately sunk on heavy realizing and sales
against calls. Bcforo 11 o'clock September
touched 70'ifi'IOT4c. Indian shipments of
1,410,000 'bu. , with estimated world's ehlp-
menls of CSOO,000 bu. for the week , moro
than offset feara of frost In the spring
wheat belt. Receipts at primary western
markets were 800,000 bu. , against 627,000 bu.
last year. Minneapolis and Duluth received
314 cars , against 319 curs yesterday and 179
cars a year ago. Chicago received 119 cars ,
against 179 a year ngo. On the early de
cline there was considerable covering ,
which , together with buying ngalnst puts ,
causid a Rharp rally to 71'/i'd11ic for Sep

however , and Just before the close Sep

Corn ruled weak throughout on reports
of heavy rains \n \ the southwest , which dis

were six cars. Cash trade was fair , 100,000

A squeeze of July shorts was the feature ,
of the oats market. July was forced up

Seplcmber opened steady at 194c , declined

the light country offerings today to run Up

TVeiv Yorlc Stoclc Murltet for Suurdn- '
Short flrmiloiiVtH Very Ilrlnlc.
NEW YORK , July 29. The stock market
for today's short session was strong. A
large volume of reallzlngas well digested
by reason of an Increased demand to the
commission houses and the market stood up
well under a bank statement that was : un-
expectcdly weak , the majority of stocks
showing net gains when trading was over
for the day. London continued to buy
stocks here with considerable confidence
nnd this was the prime factor In the open
ing rise and In the further decline In sterl
ing exchange rates. The money market was
largely nominal , but there Is evidence of
qulto liberal offerings of funds from out-
Bide sources.
The high level of railroad earnings shown
by all companies reporting and the reported
eager demand to buy , borrow or rent
freight cars from many sections of the
country was a potent * ourco of strength
for Blocks. Northern Pacific , Pennsylvania
and Plttsburg , Cincinnati , Chicago & St. |
Louis enjoyed the benefit of the published ,
June statements showing largely Increased .
net earnings. Durllngton's strong June
statement brought realizing. The coalera
were helped by the statement of Lehlgh Valley -
ley , reflecting a growing Improvement in ,
the long depressed anthracite Industry. I !
Reports of the unprecedented activity and '
strength In the Iron trade caused advances
In the prices of steel and Iron stocks , with
the exception of Federal Steel. American
Steel and Wire rose over a point. This fac
tor helped the railroads situated In the
Iron regions , notably Louisville & Nash
ville. American Tobacco was marked up 5
points on light transactions and with no
news to explain the rise. International
Paper preferred and Consolidated Qas rose
2 points. The decline after the bank state
ment was checked by good absorption , but
the recovery was not to the ton level. The
closing was quiet and firm. Bonds were
well held on a moderate volume of business.
The course of the stock market during
the week has shown evidences of awakened
Interest and strength. The principal appre
hension has been over the future of the
money market. All accounts have agreed
upon the unusual abundance of functv at all
Interior centers , but the activity of trade
and Industry are also unprecedented and
the enormous volume of bank clearings
throughout the country shows that more
money Is turned over In profitable employ
ment every week than ever before. The
question has been whether in moving the
crops the usual demand would bo made
upon eastern centers for money or whether
the largo funds at interior points would
provo ample.
ThU question Is not answered definitely
yet. Call money In New York ha * con
tinued pretty firm and 4t developed during
Ihe week that many Stock exchange houses
were resorting to time loans. This resulted
In a hardening tendency of the time money
rate and there was apprehension that a
money squeeze In the call loan department
might intervene when demands began to
be felt for crop moving purpo&cs , Except for
domestic disquiet In France the outlook Is
for easier muney abroad and sterling ex
change at Now York has shown a sharp
decline toward the end of the week.
New York mercantile paper hat' ' been re
ported as telling In Chicago. The money
condition In New York Is affected by the
failure of BO me new Industrial securities to
meet expectations , Borne of these have de
clined sharply from the subscription prices
or from the prices taken as a tasJs for dis
tribution of new securities in exchange for
the o of constituent companies. Money
supplied for underwriting has thus been
kept tied up watting to realize. Not n little
of the long continued speculative doubt has
been duo to the threatened Transvaal
trouble , with a spedal view to Its probable
effect on the gold production of the Rand.
The expected large supply of Bold from
this source Is a factor In the estimates of
future world prices , The various causes of
Inactivity , however , have tended toward
amelioration during the week. The period
of hazard to the crops has como nearer Its
end. Industrial activity continues unabated ,
International trade and railroad earnings
break all recordu and th export trade Is
proving Itself permanently established at a
new high level ,
The strength of stocks which developed
first In a few obscure and Isolated cases ,
then In the Southwestern and Louisville ,
aim inter Jn tne grangers , nas pcrmeaicu
pretty much the whole list throughout the
week.
The bond market \vas dull and heavy
during the early part of the week and has
not responded to the late strength to the
same extent as stocks.

The Commercial Advertiser's London

NE\V YORK , July 20 , The New York
Financier sdys :
The ttliowlng of the New York clearing
house banks Tor the week ending July 29
cannot be regarded as a favorable exhibit ,
although there IB good reason for raying
that It does not show the real condition of
the bunks at the close of business Saturday.
The loss of nearly J4 , 500,000 1n cash , for ex
ample. Is much moro than the six days'
nitrations called for. The contraction of
J12,739,200 In deposit * rediited reserve re
quirements by over 13,000,00) . so that despite
the Bhrlnkago of { 4,429.300 In npeclo and
legaU the excess declined only > 1 , 241 , 473 ,
leaving the surplus at $10,611,115.
The deposit loss , as usual , IB to be traced
to a few of the more Important Institutions ,
the National City bank alone being re
sponsible for 15,000,000 of the total , On the
other hand the gain of nearly ns much by
rhe National bank , accompanied by a pro-
port'xmate addition of M > ecle , stand * In
direct contrast with the trend of the other
banks. The liquidation In loans continues ,
the decrease of W.J34.600 in that Item for the
week making a tolal of moro than J3I.000.000
In four weeks. In the Mme time deposits
have declined J40.000.000 and specie And ItKnls
something In excess of J1,000,000.
It Is to be noted that while on July 8 the
surplus reserve was but Io,000,0v0 clearings
Institution * , despite the fact that there were
J4.CW.OOO less cash at that tlnxs still report
J6,000,000 moro of excess reserve. This has
been inftdo possible by the liquidation of
oututandlng commitment1 , but it Is becom
ing a question how much further the process
can be continued. Loans are now the
smallest tlnce the middles of February , ami
In the last six months the banks have lost
J2S.COO.OOO In specie nnd legals.
The continued loss of cash to the treasury
and the approachr of the crop season , with
Its ( Vemandiv on the resources of this center ,
make the Immediate future , an interesting
SUDJCCL ior speculation , ami , as OIUIK uai-
nnccs have In many Instances been diverted
from New York the demand may fall moro
or less on other largo cities.

CATTLE There wore about fourteen loads
of fat cattle on sale toduy , which was not
enough to really make a market , and It Is
hard work to say whether prices were
higher or lower. Ono thing that can bo
paid without chance of being disputed Is
that the trade was In about the same con
dition as usual on a Saturday that Is , buy
ers were on easy street , not being compelled
to buy the cattle , nnd hence they could bo
Indifferent. If they could get the cattle
their way they wanted them , if not they
were content to wait until Monday. Sat
urday's market Is usually an uncertain
quantity , nnd It was especially so today.
The cattle market as n whole has been In
very good condition nil the week. Local
packers have been active buyers of corn-
fed steers and prices have had an upward
tendency , the gain for the week being 10ft )
20c. The quality of the cattle at the same
time has averaged good , so that a very
largo proportion of the arrivals of beef
steers brought J3 and better , with quite a
number of loads going at J5.50S3.65 , and ono
load at J3.60. Good dry lot cows and heifers
were sc.irco all the week , but peed sellers ,
with prices steady or possibly a little
stronger , In sympathy with the advance on
cornfed steers. Good grass cows were Just
about steady , but common kinds have eased
off during the week. Good cornfcd bulls
wore good sellers all the week , but common
nnd oven m dlum kinds were easier. Dur
ing the early part of the week feeders were
lower , but after Thursday's rain the market
llrmed up nnd closed stronger for the week.
The demand was principally for good fleshy
feeders weighing 1,000 to 1,100 pounds. Llcht
stock cattle , if choice , sold fairly well , but
they were not In so good demand ae the
heavier cattle. Representative sales :

stronger prices than yt terday , and the Indifference -
difference of packers and linn feeling
among salesmen , combined to render the
market very slow and druggy from start
to llnlsh. It was After midday before a
clearance * was effected. The late wiles
were largely at J4.30 for heavy hogs , with
a fuw Icxads of the less dcrubl ! ; at $4.2714.
The markPt as n whole was not much dif
ferent fro.ni yesterday.
The market this week on liogn naa not
been satisfactory to anyon ? for the reason
that there has been a constant strife be
tween buyera and i ellerH. The heaviest
packers havs evidently been on the bear
side all the week and have been trying to
force the market down , Inn It ha been
hard work. Sellers have be'n very bu llsh
and have held on for strong prloH ! , HO that
after pounding the whole week the market
at the close Is not quite DC lowir than It
was the llrfct day. In fact , the market nt
the close of the week was only a very llttlo
easier than It wa at the close of ths
previous week. Thfl country seems to
nave como to the conclusion that Uo mar-
ket Is not going any lower and the dlspoul-
tlon siems to bo to 'hold back the nogs
every time the market breaks , Rep-

demand on the part of mcnl pni-kers fet
good mutton grades Is fairly active nnd
arrivals as a rule have met with rtxidy tail
at prevailing prlcea.
So far there has not bcou much done with
feeding sluvp. Orders f r thixt kind or ]

there are tiutle n good many on file , but

for feeding sheep , but buyers' Ideas ara
not unite up to the ntuvalllng market
