WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIEW ,
The Money Market Oorfortablo and
Trade Improving.
THE OUTLOOK SATISFACTORY.
Indications That the Sprint ; Triulo
Will Bo Up to tlio Avcrnao-
DIshoncBt Commission
Quotations.
The Local Itovlcw-
The money market continues very easy ,
and the supply Is if any thing In excess of
the demand. Rates nro therefore caster , and
8 per cent Is the rule for prime mercantile
paper. General trndo has very materially
Improved the past week , and while the move
ment Is not all it should bo as yet , the indi
cations nro that the spring trade will bo fully
up to the average and probably show n fair
increase. Collections nro only so-so ,
and an improvement in this branch of busi
ness would not bo wholly unacceptable. City
trade has been good , mid retailer * nro fairly
content wkh the outlook. The produqo
market shoves the advent of spring by Us
array of green pears , tomatoes , cucumbers ,
rudishrs , onions , etc. Eggs arc again lower ,
and butter Is somewhat off , though choice
grades are steady. Thcro Is still u good deal
of complaint from honest , reliable commis
sion merchants in regard to the prac-
Ice of dishonestly quoting prices
above the market by a few Jlrms
who cannot obtain trndo legitimately
and resort to this victorious practice. Ship
pers should investigate the character of the
parties to whom they propose to consign
goods and they may rest assured that the
merchant who quotes nbovo the market
prices current docs so with a view to swind
ling the consignor , who has but llttlo redress ,
ns the cost of prosecuting petty scoundrels of
this class is more than the results obtainable
will warrant.
The losses of the great foreign copper syn-
dic.ito or trust arc said to amount to
SJ.1,000,000.
It is reported that tbo capital represented
In the salt trust Is $ 5,000,000 , nil the pro
ducers in the country being In the combina
tion. In England and throughout conti
nental Europe the salt trusts have provoked
indignant protests and anti-trust agitation.
An advance of a few cents a barrel docs not
impose n heavy burden on consumers , but
people do not like to be at the mercy of a
powerful syndicate.
The sugur trust is n fair buyer of raw
suirur , but it has a good deal of dltllculty in
ilnding any lots at former prices , as most
holders nro demanding an advance. Supplies
nro everywhere greatly reduced , and the
stocks at four ports of Great Urltatn nro
down to 152.000 tons , against C2 , : > 00 tons a
year ago. Cuban advices are very bullish
and the amounts offered there are small.
Now York advices state that a cargo oi
box herrings is selling actively upon the
basis of 2c ( ) for straight medium sealed.
Farcy lines pf Now Orleans molasses are
becoming scarce and prices are tending up
ward. The southern market is said to bo
almost bare of stock.
It is stated that the stocks of California
impeded dried peaches are gradually disnp
peurlng. Philadelphia is the chief buyer urn
the demand is mainly speculative.
The maple sugar season has commenced in
the eastern townships of Quebec , and tin
trees are now generally on tap. "Warrantee
pure maple sugar" made from brown sugar
with maple flavoring is for sale the year
around , and it is remarkable how far a little
sap-will go.
The Now York Commercial Bulletin states
that merchants in that citv do not entertain
confidence in the reports that arc Doing con
stantly sent over the wires and through the
mails about the sales of salmon , the majority
believing that the statement of 000,000 cases
of all kinds of canned salmon sold for ship
ment to foreign countries Is vastly over
drawn. They cannot understand why it is
that there should'nt this early season have
been contracts made that nro , nearly 00 per
cent In excess of the entire quantity shipped
annually for years past.
Sugar sales have been very heavy of late ,
owing to the.advance and strong prospects
for a further sharp rise , and a good deal of
speculative buying has been done. The bulls
figure up a shortage of 50,000 tons in the
world's supply , and the advices state that
Lieut has reduced his estimate of the best
crop 25.000 torn , . In view of the steady ad
vancing market the prospect of importing ro-
flned sugars has been suggested , but parties
who have carefully investigated assert that
our prices are no way near high enough for
such a move as yet.
Coffee is being advanced by the specula
te rs on the strength of the expected short
Rio crop. Present supplies are ample for all
current requirements , and the supply at the
American seaboard and afloat for the same
amount to 441.500 bags , against 335,000 bags
a year ago. There are 374,000 bags in Rio.
and Havro reports 45.3,000 bags , 203,000 of
wnlch are Brazilian.
OMAHA L.IVI2 STOCK-
Cattle.
Saturday , March 23. 1889.
The buyers wanted some cattle to-day and
they got out and bought thorn , which was
about the only difference between the market
to-day and that of yesterday. The prices
paid were about steady on all grades , but
there was a better feeling prevailing on the
market , and some for that reason were call
ing the trade stronger. The receipts were
light and the yards were about cleared by
midday. The prices paid for beef cattle
'ranged all the way from $3.00 to $ : > .SO , with
the bulk at f3.20@3.50. Butchers' stock wus
in light supply and brought good prices in
comparison with the way steers sold. The
bulk of the cows went at $2.25@2.50 , with
something very choice ns high as $2.75 or
even $3.00. There is one thing which ship
pers must boar In mind , and that is the Irght
demand for canncrs. Old , thin cows are not
selling as readily as they were a month ago ;
In fact. It Is hard work to dispose of them nt
any price. The demand for bulls has also
fallen off largely , as is usual at this season
of the year. There was virtually no trading
in feeders , thcre'bolng no cattle of that de
scription in the market to speak of.
WOKS.
The market wus active , nt prices strong to
5c higher and an curly clearance was made.
The bnlk.of the hogn sold at T4.00 , with erie
load at 44.05. There was no sorting , so that ,
although the market was higher , the top was
not so high as yesterday
Sheep.
There were six loads of Colorado Iambs on
the market , part of which were sold. The
market continues llrm nt former quotations.

CHICAGO rilODUCE MARKET.
CHICAGO , March 23. [ Special Toleornm to
Tun BED. ] The whont marked opened
rather quietly , but the Initlul rnngo WAS
Bomovvhnt ranged on account of the nervous *
ness of the trades. May started In nt $ 1.04X
© 1.05 , with clamor to buy at the outslilo.
The price wont to * 1.04Jliowovor , with n
good many trades nt S1.04J . 'fTho nwrltot
then shot up to (1,05 % and after n reaction
of } fo broke and booniod to tl.07Jf. At the
top n big lot of long wheat cnmo out and n
prccltiltous decline to Sl.OO'i resulted. This
was all accomplished within thospncoof half
an hour or so. The market then steadied
and for quite n time there was n largo trade
within a range of ? I.Ofl > @t.OrV. A decline
to $1.04J was the next movement , and this
was succeeded by n rally to $1.00. Then
until nearly the close the market was steady
nt $1.05 and fractionally above , fluries some
times carrying the price above Sl.OoJ-s' .
Trade not very light and the lilting of small
orders was suniclent to movotho price , often
times , KC. This was ono df the character
istics of the trade of the whole session. As
was the case yesterday , some of the sharpest
bulges and rallies were accompanied by light
business , bidding for single lots of 5,000
bushels causing n Jf@lc ihictuatlon. It was
a singularly nervous and overwrought mar
ket. The closing twenty minutes was marked
byaslumpy break to nearly $ 1.01. On the
hard spots there was considerable wheat for
sale , and the impression prevailed that the
Fairbank-Hutchlnson party was feeling the *
crowd , Hutchtnson was an open and nctlvo
bidder through brokers for llttlo lo.s and
and shorts were coming in all day with
offers to buy , their wants , being accom
modated If patience was displayed.
Uloom was a largo seller around the top ,
and the gossip credits htm with making
a turn of { 00,000. The boar housus absorhed
n good deal of wheat during the day. The
"knowulls" in the pit had it that the "clique"
was gunning for Linn and the Schwarts-
Dupeo following , without however , bringing
down that game , though Captain Phillip was
credited with covering a big line on the
l > ulge. July wheat led in activity at first to
day. A "lip" WHS in circulation that there
was to bo a whirl in this future , imd every
body wanted n little at the beginning. The
price went from S'Je to UOc , breaking back to
SS. ? e , however , only to rally again to 80 ? c.
From this point there was another decline ,
the crowd being encouraged to free selling
by reports of rain in Kansas and
Missouri. The lowest urico of the
day .up to 1 o'clock , was SS c.
Tuo break Just before the close carried July
to 88J.Cc , closing at S3tfe. May $ I.04-tfc. Thus
while the day was decidedly bullish the clos
ings indicate very little change as compared
with yesterday , May showing a gain of only
y \ and July } { c.
The excitement and strength in the wheat
m irket. was again communicated to corn.
The shorts were buying freely and their de
mands were readily supplied after an ad
vance of about } { c In May above the opening
quotation. The St. Louis market showed n
very light degree of sympathy with the ad
vance here , and New York none at all. The
Liverpool market was firmer and higher and
the export buying was reported from New
York and Baltimore to bo good and governed
as to Its extent mainly by considerations of
vessel room and the rate of freight. The
trading was not active and was chiefly local
and scalping in its character. There was
tnoro than the usual amount of trad
ing In Juno and July futures. May
future in corn started in strong nt 35Xc ,
nut after the advance of 8a the closing
price wus the same ns it rested at yesterday.
The other futures went over 'a parallel
course , but there were sellers of all the fu
tures at the closing quotations nt the time of
adjournment.
Oats were quiet. The opening was weak
to % c lower on the regular market , firming
up later along with wheat , with May ad
vancing # c , to 2(5c. ( This flguro called out n
number or selling orders , and prices settled
back a point or two , with later dullness the
rule. A few outside orders were received
and the room traders did most of the busi
ness , which was not large , with Juno and
July rather dull. Regular oats to go to store
were steady at 34c.
The provision trade was again bullish in
its tendency. Tbo fluctuations were quite
narrow , being limited to 20c in pork , lu ( ) in
lard and 7JjC in short ribs , but the side of
higher prices had the call and the day closed
with a general improvement. In pork the
advance established amounted to TJ @l2J o ,
in lard to } 4@lOa and in short ribs to T ! c.

this week that the days when the shippers
had plenty of orders there were good
markets. Krom the uresent indications
the only thing that will hold the market up
is plenty of shipping orders from the east

NEW YOIIK , March 2J. f Special Telegram
to TUB HBU.I STOCKS The close of the
week Jlnds the conditions and sentimentboth
unchanged In the stock market. The fulrly
good rallies noticed early In the week hail no
general movement under them , and us soon
as part of the short interest wus satisfied ,
the dullness , If not heaviness , returned. The
action In Chicago Gus while somewhat re
markable , in not significant when the slump
of Friday Is remembered. During no day of
the wcelc has real activity spread through
more than a dozen Blocks , and frequently
half a doion securities took most of the in
terest. The current talk that some longs
have been quietly taking stocks and that a
grand rally is to ho started all along the list ,
is not sincerely accepted by these who know
most tabout the adverse workings of the
roads. The transactions to-day were small
and shed no light on the probable coursn of
the market. The opening was > marked by
dullness , and a few shares , such as Chicago
Gas , Burlington and Northwestern enjoyed
all tbo activity. The first prices were about
steady , but Oregon Improvement , Chicago
Gus uud Burlington allowed special weak
ness , declining J to 1 per cent each. Hope
revived when n rally carried Gas certificates
up to tbo early price and Burlington nearly
so. A second decline soon followed , and at
11 u. m , prices wera below the opening , with
the market dull. What activity there was
toward noon was in Union Pacific , Hurling-
ton nnd Chicago Gas , and prices again tended
downward , Pullman went onalnst the cur
rent and advuuccd ) } I'd ' * cent. At the close
the nmrVot WAS heavy , with prices n shndo
lower than nt the opening. The total sales
Were-57,313 shares.

CiiiPAao , March 23. ( Special Tologrnm to
Pin : Ui-.n.l The general situation of the
money mnrkot remains much the same ns a

nrbed the oven tenor of financial circles on
his side of the Atlantic , and from present .
ndlcatlons is not likely to , ns the American
oppor companies , who had transactions witli
ho syndicate , hold letters of credit on bank-
ng houses In London ns a guaranty of their
ontracts. Itntos remain steady In nil the
catling American financial centers , especially
n thno loans , which ranged from 5 to 8 per
cnt , 0 to 7 per cent being the general nver-
RO. There Is plenty of money offered on

rhoro is not the usual call for favors to meet

n some instances where they sec chances ot
unking quick returns. Lumbermen nro

umber districts nro ordering considerable
currency to enable customers to meet their

foreign exchange at times was offered moro
freely , the increase being duo.to the liberal
exports of corn nnd provisions. Sales ranged
at f l.84 f4.M for sixty day documentary
sterling bills on London. The Jobbing trade
moves along fairly. Dry goods are sollln g
with considerable freedom , butlhero is araplo
room for marked Improvement. Clolliing- ,
shoes , groceries and hardware are fairly active
tivo and steady.
The leading in the Now York stock market
: hc past week ran moro to specialties than
for some time past , grangers and Chicago
Gas Trusts being the loaders. The fooling :
during the greater part of the week was
uneasy , particularly on grangers and South
western stocks. Long deferred liquidation
in Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy. Rock Is
land nnd Atchlson by Boston parties came
at last , being in a measure hastened by the
fcnrs of a total collapse In the copper securi
ties , which have boon the main stay of the
Boston inns for over a year. Had It not
been for the largo dividends earned by
the copper mines they own their railroad
stocks would have been thrown overboard
mouths ago. The news from London und
Parts was of a depressing character and the
foreign operators sent liberal selling orders.
Their course , ctftiplod with that of tbo Bos
ton nnd Chicago operators , caused a down
ward movement , the like of which has not
been seen in months. The depression In
Burlington was Increased by the report .for
1SS8 , making a poorer showing than generally -
ally expected , ihe deficit In the year's busi
ness being $1,740,000. und prices declined 4
points. Atchisnn 5 , Rock Island 3. The
short Interest was materially Increased D.v
the decline , and the operators .rendered
moro nervous than over. The desire to
cover caused , a natural reaction'nnd the
shrinkage on some of tlio stocks that were
sold down in sympathy was regained. The
loss on tli3 leading stocks wus only partly
recovered. The most active stock outside
of grangers was Chicago Gus Trust. Early
a decline of 1 paint occurred , but good steady
buying reversed the current , and un udvanco
of O'tf points followed. The purchases were
based on reports that trusts earnings were
steadily increasing and a 2 per cent dividend
is expected to bo declared nt the next meet
ing. Taking the market as a whole it was
active and at times excited , the fluctuations
being rapid an'd severe. A largo volume of
business xvas transacted , The sales reached
1,470,212 shares.
While the weather in the country tribu
tary to the Chicago market was a llttlo
colder during the past week , the change WAS
not sufficiently marked to retard spring
work among the farmers. Seeding is pro
gressing favorably and considerable wheat
and oats have been sown , nnd the ground is
being prepared for corn in sqmo sections.
The cron outlook is generally regarded as
favorable , and the fall sown grain comes out
of the winter season looking remarkably
well. What is true of this country applies
equally as well to Europe , the reports from
that quarter being favorable. Tlio leading
produce markets attracted considerable at
tention during the past week , especially in' a
speculative way , and the business tran
sacted was qulto largo. The contest be
tween tlio longs and shorts was waged
with considerable vigor on both sides ,
and fluctuations in prices were
quito frequent , with tbo result not
very satisfactory to cither side1 of the mar-
Icot. In some instances the former were suc
cessful in gaining slight advances , while In
others tho.latter were equally as fortunate ,
the closing figures , excepting for wheat ,
showing only slight change * from thoso'of
last week. Operators are still transferring
their trades ahead as much as' possible , May
and July being the principal dellvoiles In
the shipping branch of the trade. Tncre has
been some interest manifested , especially in
the way of illllnc orders for moderate quan
tities , nnd mainly from eastern interior
points. The supplies of grain In the lending
markets are gradually decreasing , nnd the
arrivals at the Interior stations nro compara
tively light , partially duo to the fact that
farmers are now giving other and moro im
portant in attorn their attention. The ad
vices from the European markets h'avo not
been very favorable to holders , und orders
from abroad have been small. The unsettled
feeling In financial circles has Ipd to moro
conservatism In that quarter. The move
ments of llvo block have not been quite so
free , as the prices were unsatisfactory to
shippers. The packing of the west for the
week shows a further material enlargement ,
nnd the returns since March 1 , compared
with these of the uorrerpondlng time in 1888 ,
show un Increase of nearly 50 per cent. Th
supplies of provisions are not largo.
