THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUJNJDAY , AUGUST 5 , 18S8.-TWELYE PAGES. 11 OMAHA TRADE CONDITIONS , Money Supply In Excess of the Domnnd. DRY GOODS QUITE BUOYANT. Lumber Quiet Hardware Steady ntul Unchanged Collections Blow A Good Supply of Produce on Jfuml QuotntloiiH. Omaha Trndo Jlcvlmv. Money continues In abundant supply , bankers reporting that they have more I ban enough for all legitimate wants. Hates nro Bteudy nt 8 per cent per annum. About Sep tember 1 tlio market may bo expected to hiirJen , us about that tlmo the country will want funds to move grain , but capital Is ac cumulating In this city rapidly , and no great stringency is feared at any tlmo this fall. Kxohangu Is , as usual , Sl.OO per 81,000. In general merchandise values are un changed , except in the few instances noted , Sugars are held steady by refiners at t-7.82 J7.CO for granulated , but buyers nro a llttlo orf. Coffees are dull and neglected , ns It Is thought lower prices will prevail before the Jst prox. Salt fish nro excited and higher. California canned fruits are quiet. There is a full crop of everything except apricots , nnd Jobbers think pricss will not bo any higher , to say the least. Dry goods uro lively , und n bouyant tone Is felt in the speculations as to the fall trade ; that it will bo heavy is the universal opinion. All lines of goods are steady and in nctlvo demnnd. Dark fancy prints und printed Miteens are universally called for ; the latter have proved the success of the KCIISOII. Knit poods nro looking up , while hosiery is quiet , fc'omo demand exists for women's underwear , nnd prospects for trade In this line uro better. Lumber continues quiet , but signs of Improvement are manifest and a big trade U looked for the balance of the year to make up for the dull spring trade. Hoots nnd shoes are doing as well , if not hotter , than other lines , nnd a heavy trade In pxeoss of last year Is plainly in sight. The Patent Leather Manufacturers' association of the United States has icsolvcd to advance the price of patent leather 10 ( < 15 per cent. All but four of the makers of these goods in this country uro In the combination. Hardware is quite active , with prices fttoady and unchanged. It will bo seen that the outlook for n heavy increase In general trade this year over last Is very good indeed , nnd with nn easy money market promising to continue into the win ter , our inorclmnlH can alfbrd to bo very well ojntont with tlio situation. Collections tire very good in the country , but not ut all satisfactory in the city. The produce markets have been fairly well mii'pliod with fruits and vegetables , in gooil condition , though some southern stuff comes in very soft. Melons are cheaper. Lemons have declined $1.0l'@J.OO Per box thu past week and It looks us though they might po lower. Herrles are about out ol the season. Vegetables are supplied from the truck gardens nonr by , nt irregular prices , depending on the number of loads In Bight nt tlio time of purchase. Chickens are inoie plentiful and prices lower. Huttcr ant rhccse Imvo ruled dull owing to tlio warm v.'outhcr from the faot that largo stocks have accumulated nt Chicago without any great shipping demand. OMAHA IjlVK STOCK. . Cnttle.

[ Special Telegram to" Tun 13un.Vhon ] wheat opened with a big advance Monday morning , conservative bulls expressed themselves to the effect that if prices were as high at the cad of the week as they were at tlio beginning they should bo satisfied , for the week began and ended In what is practically the same notch. The ad vance that was established Monday morning has boon held , with Intermediate fluctuations of greater or loss violence , and the market is soomlnirly well grounded and legitimately Htronir. In Now Yoric , after regular trading hours to-day , wheat was bid up jift ) ( , ' e. Lo cally the market was very firm , and plenty of wheat was wanted at Xjlc above tlio opening range , which range was J4(21e ( bet tor than yesterday's closinir. The close was quite at the top and the fooling was strong. The only decided sign of weakness that was shown during the day was whou It was given out that Monday's receipts would bo In the neighborhood of 241) ) cars , nnd Inter when nn estimate of TOO.OOO bushels Increase In the visible supply was put in circulation. It is by no means certain that the Increase will bo so largo , or that there will bo any Increase nt all. Shipments from western points have been free nil the week nnd export clearances abroad , while the homo milling demand has absorbed a great | deal of grain in Now fork nnd olso- wlicriof which no account is made until the end of the week. Tlio domestic situa tion Is especially strong. Heports from the northwest continue to como in bad , and it Is said that there has boon more buying of who.it during tlio hist two or thrco days for railroad people than for the previous six months. Northwestern , St. Paul and Hock Island people are outspoken bulls on the prospects along their own lines nnd tribu taries. Tlio sentiment of tlio inoculative crowd is bullish pronouncedly possibly too much so for a speculative advance and not strong enough to absorb the stuff that might bo tempted out in tlio realisation of small profits. If the spring wheat crop is not 1U@ 25 per cent below an average unload of H ) @ 2 > per cent nbpvc , as many anticipated up to ouito , recently , then the latest reports and estimates are away off. A Yankton , Dak. , dispatch was shown on change announcing that now wheat had been received there. It is well to know , however , that spring -vhcat grown in that part of the territory wlicro harvesters are now at work is not a drop m the bucket. Harvesting In the southern udgo of the "wnout bolt" will not begin for ten or twelve days and the spring wheat harvest season will not end in the northern counties until the middle of September. It usually lasts about twenty days. September opened ut 8:1140 : , ranged 83) 84tfu and closed at the outside. October , in winch there was only a moderate trade , opened at S-lc , sold up to 84 fe and left off at the top. The strength at tlio close may have boon duo tb [ some ex tent to the inability of scalpers to sell a little and go homo short and stand hedfjbdj in the privilege market us Is their usual custom. Now York wired nil the way from twenty- lour to fifty boat loads taken for ex port and exporters were represented to bo scurrying around clear up to the last trying to got what they had offered to soil the night before without , in every case , getting the propcity first. Lute cables were bullish on weather nnd demand. The ndvnneo for the day was ! ivlJfe. Tlio corn market was null but steady and quotations nt tlio close record an ndvnnca of ° o for the duy. Oats were firmer curly. Receipts were light and estimated arrivals for Monday only moderate und duo to last night's rain with the belief that harvesting would bo further delayed. Near futures advanced J n o to SSJ c , August 24njfc- , September nnd Oeto- ber 24Jfc , with an unexpected sale of a round lot of now ? > To * 2 to go to store nt 25c. A sub sequent weakness occurred all along the line and tlio curly slight advance was fully lost. The arrivals of new onts , though Increasing , have been so liuhtto date that jfny market movement was not expected lor a week at least. Cash oats were quiet wjth old ut a premium and No. 2 in store quotable at about 23k , c. The provision trade was considerably stronger. No grc.it amount of activity was exhibited , but the confidence displayed pre vious to Thursday's break was in a great measure recovered , and higher prices ap peared to bo expected quito ojsily. In the upward movement witnessed lard Igd the other leading lines and closed at an actual advuuco of 1517Xc.

I CATTi.n Trade was fair for Saturday , about everything being sold. The general market was about the same as at the close last night. The flood of Texans com nienced on Monday , nnd averaged half the cattle on sale each day. Sellers know 11 would keep up for two or three days at least and buyers , having means of information , knew it , too , und were ready to stand from under. Another source of weakness was the largo number of poor to common natives. Buyers In the states have made some money during the past two months or so on good fal cattle and that kind being about all mar keted lu some localities greedy buyers go about the country making good bids on cattle that farmers had no idea of selling yet , ami which are not at all lit for markets. The result is the farmer sells ami cheats himself ; the buyer gets thorn and loses money.

New YORK , August 4 , [ Special Telegram to Tim UKK. ] STOCKS The most Important features in the stock market the past week were the sudden changing of traders from Granger stocks to the Vunderbllts and the subsequent retirement of the former to neo- end place In activity , the favorable adjust ment of cable dlfllcultlcs und un advance in prices. This agreement will also have u gooi effect on land linos. This , It is believed , wil Increase the receipts of the Western Union company , and with the enhanced income which the company will derive under the now oasis of rates it is believed that the earnings will sufllco to Increase the dlvldcnt rate. The financial and physical condition ol Lake Shore , and probably also of Michigan Central and Canada Southern seems to fully Justify the pxpcctod Increase in their divi dend rato. The earnings of these roads have boon wall maintained throughout the depres sion in business , and the conservative policy pursued by the munagomcut has enablct them to expend largo amounts in improve ments and renewals of roadway and rolling stock , thus keeping the road in the hlghosl state of cfllciency. In view of the good croj production und ino certainty that a largo per centage of this must go to the seaboard for foreign shipment , the prospects for business nro brlgh' The advance In Northern Pn- cltlc stor has been checkedby the contest which 1ms arisen between that company nnd the Oregon Navigation company for posses sion of the Coeur-D'Alcno country. These complications were duo to the failure on the part of the Union Pacific to perfect a Joint lease with the Northern Pacific of theOregon Navigation. It Is believed that the difficulty is In process of adjustment , if not already settled , and that the bright prospects of this company and all Its allied system ! ) , as well as of Union Pacific , will not bo mnrrcd by un profitable strife. In relation to Union Pa cific , although the earnings of the company for the month of .Tune show a loss from those ot last year , It's future is promising. The bill to fund its debt to the government has been Introduced In the United States senate , whore no opposition to Us passage is ex pected , mid this move , It is thought , will probably result in the measure becoming law at this session. In addition thereto Oregon gen Short Line shows largely Increased earnings , which gives the company a surplus over the actual charges Instead of n deficit , as in previous years. The business future of the country , based U ] > on the crop yield nnd the certainty that there will bo a foreign de mand for all our surplus , is giving moro con fidence to Investors in securities , nnd that the demand Is Increasing is shown dally In the small supply of stock offerings. Stocks were bid up freely to enable holders to mar ket the other stocks without causing n sharp decline In them. A largo number of bulls who have closed out arc not adverse to u de cline , ns they would like to got In again. The market to-day was dull nnd about as uninteresting as ever witnessed. The bad crop reports from the west made operators backward about purchasing nnd traders who were lucky enough to have orders found it ilitllcult to execute thorn satisfactorily. The only feature was the ndvnneo ofV In Mich igan Central and Northwestern , the rest of tlto list remaining steady. Sales were 31.S23 shares : money \ ( < il1 ' . The bank statement showed a slight decrease in the reserve , but cut no figure. rr.STEIIDAY'S QUOTATIONS. II.R.4S regular. . .liT INorthcrn 1'acltlc. . . 2" > S4 II. S.

A BETTER SPECULATIVE DEMAND. Now York KtclintiKo In Good Supply ami ICnnler-StoekH Quite Aotlvo Unusual Kxcltuinoiit In Grain niul Provisions , Tlio Money Market. Cmcuio , August 4. [ Special Telegram to Tin : IlcK.l Business around the banks was moderately active during the past week. The settling up of monthly accounts nnd the de livery of property on maturing contracts cre ates a llttlo more demand for money tempo rarily , but borrowers experienced no dlfll- culty In obtaining all the accommodations re quired. Bankers , lisa rule , are well supplied with loan-ibid funds and are disposed to readily favor customers , but generally In sist on excellent security and comparatively wide margins , 'llio supplies of grain and pro visions on hand uro smaller than usual at this season of the year , consequently less money is required to carry them. Bunkers have no- copied some outsldo paper at fair rates of interest but are not Inclined to grant many favors of that character nt present. The balances of country banks uro well main tained , but local bankers nnticipato a liberal reduction in thorn when now crops begin to move freely. Not much money has been forwarded to tlio interior , us the require ments In that quarter have been light. Farmers are moving very llttlo produce to llio stations as they are now busily engaged in harvesting operations. The demand fiom opcratois in stocks , grain and provisions tthowcd a little improvement , as tlio call for margins were more frequent and porno money was required to pay for property pre viously purchased. Shippers of grain and provisions borrowed sparingly. Packers are out of the market , possibly on the loaning side as their business does not employ their ready funds. Lumber dealers asked for few favors nnd manufacturers presented some short dnto papers , Merchants in the wholesale sale- mercantile trade wore moderate borrow ers , but their demands are not pressing. Hates of interest were without material change , ranping at 5 ( 5 percent on call and 5 , ' < @ * per cent on tlmo loans. In eastern markets thedomand lor money is gradually improving , and offerings were moderately free , with rates of interest firmer nt ( tV % per cent on call nndl j@H per cent on time loans. Foreign financial centers show n llttlo steadiness , with n moderate de mand for money from all sources. The bal ances of the Bank of England show n further reduction , nnd continental banks also npponr to bo reducing their supply of loanable funds. New York cxL'lin-ige was in good supply throughout the week and the demand was only fair. Prices ruled easier , nml sales were made at par to 50 cents discount per $1,000 , closing steady nt2."u3llcents discount. Foreign exchange was In belter supply , owing to Increased exports of flour , grain nt'd petroleum , and the market ruled weak and prices lower. Tlio demand was only fair. Shippers' sixty days documentary bills on London changed hands nt $ l.8f4.S4 : ! ( , and the market closed quiet at ? > 4.83Kii4.St ( : ; < f. The Now York stock market exhibited con siderable activity during the past week , and the feeling in a general way was stronger. Prices averaged higher on loading proper ties , though the extreme ligures reached vero not fully supported to the closo. Wall street operators traded rather freely , and foreign speculators gave tlio market eonsid crublo attention during the early part of the week. Western operators traded with con siderable freedom in some of the slocks , ohiolly thoao in which the west is interested. The earnings of the leading railroads have shown only a small improvement , which maybe bo attributable to the unsettled condition of f i eight rates. The outlook for crops is re garded as very favarablo , and this in a meas ure tends to the firmness of the stocks of some of the leading linos. There was some realizing by the ' 'long" interest at advanced prices , but not sufllclent to maku any material change in the market nor have any effect on the course of prices. The whole list of stocks was quite generally traded in , but Reading , St. Paul , Now York & Now England , Dela ware , Lacknwaunu & Western , Union Pu- . cille , Missouri Pacific and Western Union met with most favor. The market closed rather steady. Tlio sales on the New York stock exchange for the week aggrcgulcd 101- 823 shares. An unusually active week has been passed by speculators and a largo volume of busi ness transacted , nil the lending grain nnd provision markets sharing in the general Im provement In business. The surroundings of trade were sufficiently variable to encourage speculative transactions and create some dif ference of opinion relative to the future course of the markets. Crop advices from abroad were unfavorable and reports from homo crops were not HO encouraging in a gen eral way as during the past week or two. This had some effect in strengthen ing the markets early in the week , but free realizing by heavy opera tors tended to depress the markets nnd lower prices again. The receipts of now grain continue moderate. Sellers evidently nro slow to accept current prices and regard the outlook as favorable for holding. Shipments have been more liberal both from souboard and western markets and supplies nro not in creasing as rapidly us reported at this time lasl year. The demand on shipping account was more uclivo , several round lots of wheat and corn being taken on direct export orders , which is regarded as a very favorable feature in trade. In fact there Is little doubt with tlio present favorable freights continued , that Chicago will bo the headquarters for the export trade in grain and provisions during the fall nnd winter months. Fluctuations in prices were frequent and within quite n wide range at times , bul the result of the week's business shows a material ad vance established. The quality of now grain has not been very good , but this is usually the case ut the beginning of new crops. Provisions shared in the general unsullied fooling near the eloso of the week and n very marked decline in prices occurred , though a slight rally prevailed later. The receipts of liva hogs at all the principal west ern packing points were lighter. The pack ing of the west is gradually decreasing , and re.tinns to duto show u falling off of about l.Mi.OOO hogs , compared with the returns of last season , Ho Struck Out Klcvun.
