GENERAL BUSINESS IS GOOD. Prices Arc Inclined to Advance ! Bcnsonnblo Aottvlty Nnttcnnblu In All Lines of Trade IlnslnCBH Itlnttcrs. Tlio Local OuttooX. Hankers report the money market ex ceptlonally easy , In fact the general remark Is that money lias never been so plentiful in Omaha at this time of the year as now , am ruitoinepj in good standing are urged to have nil they cnn use. Not only Is this the case with banker ? , but loan and trust companies nro solicited by their eastern correspond cuts to make terms easy to applicants , and nsa result the more conservative mauagara of these institutions have not cared to meet competition and have declined to place loans whore the amount required by the applicant was in excess of what they considered safe , though the applicant was In a position to secure what ho wanted elsewhere. In other words , the sur plus of loanable funds to bo placed on mort gage is so great that lenders must loan ' - per cent more than their conservatism wll permit or lese the opportunity to make the loan. How long this state of affairs will coa tlnuu It is dltllcult to say , but it Is not i healthy condition , and the sooner the market reacts to its normal con 'litlon the belter for nil concerned The case prevailing with our banks doing i commercial business is attributed to the fact that country bankets have been called upon during the past sixty to ninety days to square accounts , If only to show that they possessed the ability to do so , and the promptness witli which they have come to the front has dem onslratoit Unit they were not in suel hud shape as newspapers inclined to the sen sntional , have tried to show. The llnaiieia outlook is upon tlio whole very comfortable , at the same lime it is just as well to suggcsl that a plethora of money is not nn unmixi'i blessing , and that prudent men will scan the 11 anncial lion/on frcqiicntl.\ during thocomlng year that they may bo ready .should a storm suddenly nrise. General trade has Improved very much and seasonable activitj is noticeable in nil linrs. It is the genera opinion in trade circles that tU/j spring season will bo short mid active , but that Un built ot the goods sold will be fully up to and probnoly in excess of the average Prices are , us a rule , well sustained with u tendency to advance , and as it is a wcl ! known fact that goods have been sold duritiL' the past season at very near the cost of production In very many cases , the natural result is to higher values as the active season approaches. Sugar is beginning to be affected by the statistical showing , and prices are respond ing to the llrmncss reported abroad Foreign markets nro all firmer , with a disposition in producing countries to wait for better prices , inasmuch as preceding crop estimates arc scarcely being realised anywhere , and pros pects certainly point to limited sunplics. The season in Louisiana is unfavorable , and fiohl work for the next crop is very backward , The total stock in all the principal countries by latest mnil and cable dates is l.O&VJiO tons , against lli ! ; * , < JOi ) tons at the same time last year. Carbon oil is unchanged , the production being on n liberal scale. The output of pe troleum is about 4lU)0 ! , ) bbls daily , and the ortic.ial monthly report shows that the stocks on hand aggregate liHX ( > ,000 bbls. Exports since January I amount to b. > ,2JI,000 gals , showing an increase of lSr > 00OUU , gals over the amount that cleared for foreign ports lust year in the corresponding period. The most conspicuous article in the canned goods line just now is salmon , Eng lish parties having recently bought unusually large amounts for future delivery. Columbia river goods arc so much higher than Alaska lisb that it IH generally thought that , the former will not sell readily , while the latter is comparatively cheap and is of very good quality. Apples arc the most active goods in the fruit line , but there is u good" call for oranges , and Messina and California oranges are beginning to sell freely now that tne supply of Florldus is decreasing. Lemons are slow of .sale. Coffee is firm , though not , especially active , except In n speculative way. Stocks in itio aio fairly large , footing up110,000 hags , but they are In strong hands and holders evi dently believe in a short crop and higher prices. The very dry weather in 1'rnyil and Venezuela is having the effect to curtail the crowing crops mid prevent moving the coffee down the rivers. Mild coffees arc scarce and advancing , and Mnracnibo cotfcc is being shipped to Hamburg , where prices arc higher than in this country. Molasses is linn , as advices From New Or leans report diminishing supplies and har dening prices. The first Porto Hico cargo of molasses of tlio season has reached New York , and it is so excellent that it sells read ily there for ! ) W33o per gal. * Teas are steady with no surplus supplies anywhere. In Great Hritnln and Ireland the yearly consumption has risen to 185,000,000 Ibs , and other countries are using so much more tea than formerly that the production llnds ready purchasers. Alter Great Britain the United States is the largest tea-drinker , the amount used yearly in this country being 00,000,000 Ibs , followed by Russia with 75- 000.000 Ibs , and the Austialmn colonies and Canada with 131,000,000 and 18,000,000 Ibs re spectively. France , Germany and Holland can scarcely bo called consumers of tea merely tasters , so to speak as only a few million pounds find their way into those places , anil in other parts of the glebe the article is practically unknown , being hardly ever used. OMAHA JjlVlfl STOOll. Cattle. Saturday , March ! > . ISS'.i. There was n good run of entile for a Satur day , both ns to quality and numbers , but the market wns rather slow at barely steady prices. The packers did not require many cattle < to fill their orders and as shippers were generally looking for eastern market * to bo lower on Monday , they were not very strong buyers. However , between the pack ers and shippers the bulk of the cattle changed hambi before tlio close. The ma jority of the dressed beef anil shipping steers sold at .jlUW.u1 . ; ! . : ! ! ) , but a piece of a load sold as high as J3.7U. The trade in butchers' utockvtis light us was also thu feeder trade. HOUR. The buyers wanted to take off about r o when the market opened and the trade was delayed for a while , salesmen being very slow to make nny concession. The trade did not drag very loner , but soon livened up and the hogs sold nt about yesterday's prlros , closinir strong.

The highest point of the week was on Thursday , when fl.OO was reached and the bulk sold at LITERARY DOUBLES. The Ijomlon Globn on the Practice ol WrUlnn l y Proxy. Referring to the article on actresses which recently appeared in the North American Review over the signature of Mary Andor.-on , a writer in the London Globe says : Upon being brought to brook by the inevitable interviewer , Miss Mary Anderson gave an explanation which throws a useful light on the manner in which articles are written for American magazines. It appears she did not actually compose the essay , she only adumbrated the ideas in conversation " " friend who them with a "literary" , put irto .shape for her. No doubt , she signed the document , but slioyas in a hurry she says , and had no time to read it carefully. So that was how she made her debut in literature. There is too much of this kind of thing being done in America. Some three or four months ago I had occasion to usk M. Blondin about an article which appeared ever his signature in a prominent American magazine , and ho declared that until then he had never heard of it that ho never ivroto it , any one acquainted with his broken English must know. Some prominent Americans have a literary man attached to their household , as other people have their grooms or butlers. At the pres ent time there is pending an action in the law courts , in which Mr. James M'Laughlin sues Mrs. Kelly , the widow of the "Tammany King , " for $200,000 in round numbers , for literary work done. This work appears to have been mainly the composition of speeches which Mr. Kelly delivered. It is indisputable that a certain amount of "ghost" work goes on oven in English literature ; but it is oftcncr found in connection with journalism than literature. The "double" ' writes and his employer signs ; but. that is a natural consequence of the manner in which work is now-a-days crowded upon any man with a name. A story is re lated of ono well-known novelist which , let us hope , is exceptional. If told , as ho often is. that a certain novel in cluded among his works is poor , ho coolly answers that ho never read itl lie signed it for the s.iko ot a poor fol low who had just come up to town to begin tlio struggle , and who thought if ho could get a distinguished man's name attached to his novel ho might got some money for it. Very likely he remembered the story of the young minister who raised 200 by publishing u volume of sermons by " \V. S. " In this case , however , there was no deception ; they were by Sir Walter Scott , written by him when his young friend was so shaken at the pros pect of preaching before the Presby tery that lie could not write his trial Kormons. So Scott kindlv scribbled thorn olT for him , and lot his name bo employed to sell them afterwards. It was ono of these kindly things which Btill attach people to the ' 'Shirra" with something akin to personal love. A. Peculiar Case. A peculiar case which is now before the civil tribunal of the Seine , says a Paris letter to the London Telegraph , has Itro'ight into prominence a most ex traordinary scion and specimen of no bility who is a genuine count by birth and title , but has been by turns a cap tain in the imperial guards , a police man , a ro turmongor , a eroque-mort. or "funeral mute , " and , strangest of all , a "vendor of paternity. " This last pro fession requires some explanation. 3omo time ago the son ot a once famous lady of the lyric sugo. but whoso pa ternal parentage is a mystery of the past , foil in love with an attractive young person of facile manners and cus toms , who wanted him to marry her , cnowing that Ills putative father had sottlinl a considerable fortune on him. I'ho young man's mother , of course , vehemently objected to the match , and , in order to defeat bin maternal parent , the sou had rccourt-o to the count-olU- cor - policeman -costermoiigor-croque- inert , who , fur a mure trillo of lifty 'ranch , consented to pass as the father of the amnrouH suitor of ttio engaging lamsel with the facile man MOM. The oount wont to the mayor's oillco with two witnesses to sign various docu ments , in which ho agreed to sanction thu marriage of his alleged son. but ho was recognized by an old policeman.

[ Special Tcleirrain to Tun llr.E.1 May wheat got below $1 to-day and July was broken to Mltfo. Tlic miirko opened about le off us compared with yester day , the excuse for the over night break being the linancial panic In 1'nris. The bears were alert and aggressive. They di rected their attacks first to the distant fu tures , which wcro notoriously weak on croj reports. Tills started May down , and it wns not long before the crowd discovered that Unit delivery was not well supported Hutchlnson , who was the largest buyei yesterday , figured to-day as the principal seller. He helped to start the break and nt the best was n moderate buyer after prices got down. The receiving houses had n gooi deal of wheat to sell for May delivery to-day. Indeed the sales by the receiving houses have "ecu ou an increasing scale ever since the weather begun to give promise of nn early spring. This would seem to indi cate that there is little wheat arcuinulatlnt- the country points in readiness for shipment to Chicago. The fact that the prices now ruling for May are proving so attractive for country holders may bo one of the causes leading to the disinclination of the bull lead- era to sustain the imiricot. It bus been plain for several days that tlio F'nlrb.mk ' party had not been lending tlio market any material support. It has been loft to run itself , so far as Knirbank has been concerned , for nil thnt anybody could detect. Hutcliuison Is at the front once more as a personality wortli con sidering. Ho is ipdte as much talked about us all-bank , and in his great role as n dis turbing factor ho may conclude not to lot May go down to a point low enough to stop the country target practice , which some peel - l > .o think is what the Fairbank party would like to see. There was excellent buying of July wheat on the break to-day. There has been seemingly a good deal of selling of that luturo in this and other markets , on the theory thnt the ISSi ) crop of wheat was not only going to bo the largest on record , but Unit It was going to bo har vested next week. The conservative opera tors , who do not lose their heads easily , are looking upon July with vcr- friendly eyes at the prices now ruling. They hold to the theory that In nny event , no matter how largo the next crop may be , tlio reserves of old wheat nt the end of the crop year will be drawn to n lower bed-rock level than has been reached in years , and that tlio tirst month's receipts will go into Immediate con sumption , thus rendering the accumulation of the stocks during the month of July al most an impossibility. For that and other reasons they are disposed to think that the selling of the crop thnt has not vet been raised , for delivery , In July , may bo carried too tar. Hence this class of operators nro as chary of shorting July us they are of touching May. . May wheat opened at S1.01K , with sales immediately at fl.DI'V U then ran tip to S1.02 n'nd in successive breaks declined to 'JSJfr , the bottom tom being reached Just auout 1 o'clock. Kal- lies of ' .firf'tfe were frequent , but the market g.ive way at any poinc-'under a pressure of free offering ! " . Thorp wap active trade In June , and tlio price at one staee was clown to ! iil'nc Tlio transactions in July were on n larger scale , larger nrobafaly than in May. July opened Ut SSt1 , sold off to St'tfe , un to S ! c , and b.v irregular jumps or jerky move ments to SOV , . June ( .3.J e. and July 8 > * fe. As compared with yesterday this shows in decline of % 'c in May , Sc ; in Juno and Ijrc . in * - ' - July. . , The weakness in the other markets af fected the speculative bniiich of the corn trade to a limited extent , but the small re ceipts , which consist in the main of grades below No. a wcre in active request for ship ment and are working gradually to a closer approximation to their consumptive value , as coninared with Uio price of con tract grade. The opening was lirm on the small arrivals , hero and elsewhere , but for the reason alreadv named , the offerings became - came freer and trade lapsed into dullness. The local operators did the bulk of the busi ness , orders to buy or sell on outside account being reported by commission bouses as scarce. Tlio market held up well m the face of the serious and disquieting financial con ditions reported from Paris , which had such n depressing effect upon wheat , May closing a shade better than it did yesterday , but all other futures were from 1-Ui to ' > , c lower. In oats another active day was recorded , with the dccllno in the speculative market unchecked. Tlio further weakness was duo to the continued pressure to sell evinced b.v n number of large operators , and in addition to the reputed unloading of long oats , at least one trader was credited with selling short to a liberal extent. The intero ; . , was chiclly In May , which opened steady at 2V0o ! ? and later declined to a. Jffc , with a subse quent partial recovery , while there was rather more doing in June than recently at a narrower discount of ' .jVfJ-Vc. The cash market was quiet and quotably < 5/ c lower , with No. 3 regular around 3-l e. In provisions fair activity and a compara tively strong market were the features of the day. Notwithstanding the closing showed a small decline from yesterday's hist figures , the bulk of business wns transacted at an advance , during the morning , when the greatest animation was witnessed , and pork sold up 25c , lard Re und short ribs lOc from the first quotations made. L.atcr , however - over , tno market , under free realizing , broke badly and the early advance was more than lost , the resting prices for tlio session show ing an actual decline of r > o on pork and lard and S@l o in short ribs.

Most ol the now brocades are on a striped { round composed of two or three of those different weaves of silks , over which ono brocaded pattern is thrown in rich Oriental arabesques or l-'rench llower designs. Oriental silks nro oxtonslvoly pro duced for combination with soft line cashmeres and other wools , for ovonint * dress at wuleriiif-pluoo dances , and for olher full-dross occasions when mudo up in combination with plain silk or Oriental yau/.cs or silk muslins. Ho- sides those Oriental patterns are sluwn the iiuaintest reproduotions of the old-timo brocaded silks on plaidi'd and htripcdround ( ; or cross- barred silks , in which a llower { arlanil forms tiio pattern ; or a htriped silk striped with rose pat'landa in larfo tine designs. Seine of. the now brocades are woven on a fancy horriun bono armuro frround , which is oiTei'tlvo , throwini" the design of the silk in rVjllof. Hose leaves and roses with thorny stems , lonir-stouimod marcis i , and { "real , Iap- anoso chrvsantlioinums , with tholr curled petals , are used in French bro cades over palo striped satins and ros- { jrain ( "rounds of lemon yellow , in that brij-htor shade of pure yellow called by the Fi'onch ' 'beaton nuld , " | lmi jn I'o-jo lints , a favorite color tins season , rival ing Nile ( roon for ovcninjj. Hoao col ors nro espofially lovplv in satin , the lustrous hiirfaco of which softens what would bo otherwise too pronounced a color. Pulo pink satins , with hilvory sheen , are especially beautiful embroidered with silver threads. Nile green , cream , white , and yellow satin are sim- iliarly shot with metal threads and em broidered with jold or bilver. Thofao rich metal embroidered brocades are in tended for only small portions of tlio co-tume usimll.y the tablior front and accessory trimmings. The other bro cades frequently form the chief part of evening dresses , and are made in com bination with plain silk and often draped with lace and gam.es. For sim ple silk house gowns and for these of blaclc silk the iiluin silk forms the prin cipal part of the gown , the brocaded silk being only introduced as accessory. The use of moro pronounced colors , the prominence of two shades ranging from pale roso-pink to a deep shade of Camilla , color , and the tiso of black and old-fashioned ashes of ro-cs and mode shades as foils for bright colors in plaids and stripes are novel features of tlio season. Tlicro are some brocades with a simple tracery of bilk threads raised on a satin or iirmurc ground. Thus a pattern in black is wrought ever n Camille rose , palo bluo-grcen or other ground , forming a deep border on ono selvedge and a narrow one on the other , with two or three line lines which look as if they wore wrought by the ncodlo between. A breadth or more of these broderio patterns is used as drapery with plain material , or is mingled in some effective manner showing both selvedges. Some beautiful black satins for dowager gowns are embroidered on ono selvedge in gold or copper with a border of great fan-liko lotus Ilowor leaves. A little of this brocade will give splendid ell'cct to a heavy gown of solid black satin made for dinner ware. AN OLD TETTER. The First Announcement. In Now York ( ifV. . II. Harrison's Dentil. Ono of the men about Now York who is well kmnvn is John M. Guitcnu , says a dispatch to the Cincinnati 1'nquiror. His name has brought him into no lit tle notoriety , and has been a great de triment to him in bib profession of at torney , although ho is no relation what ever of tlio assassin" who mailo in in famous. Mr. Guituau's abilities have boon recognized among these who know him aaof the highest order , and his na ture is botli strong and lovablo.

Tliny also were aided by the fail ure of thb Heading Iron company. Despite the Bclltnir , prices only declined 1 ' 401 0. The rest of the list was without special fea tures and moved irregularly within a small range. Taking the market on the wholo.it was slow and irregular , with a rather weak undertone , and most of the stocks , oxedpt the active ones named above , show silent losses. The aggregate transactions on tlio New Yorlt stock exchange for the wcolc were l. 13,000 hhares. The leading produce markets attracted more speculative attention during the past week , and increased business W.IH transacted In all the principal cities. Prices ruled with considerable irregularity , though they were generally- more favorable to sellers , nxcopt- ing In wheat and oats. The shorts evidently were more Inclined to provide for their out standing contracts , which assibted to seine extent in advancing the prices of many articles , while the rather free realizing by the longs tended to 11 reaction near the close. Advices from abroad were a little more favorable to holders , and the tone of the domestic mar kets were rather encouraging to the sellers. The crop news , both from abroad and homo. was encouraging and favorable for gopa yields. The supplies of most grain are grad- jally decreasing , and the stocks of provls- ons are enlarging very slowly.
