The Weekly K can in P.
The local financial market continues very
cnsy and bankers characterize the situation
ns comfortable. There Is a good demand for
money for building purposes , and loan nnd
Investment companies are placing liberal
sums on Inside real estate to p.iy for contem
plated Improvements. Hates to this class ot
borrowers are lower than heretofore , nnd
capital is offering Itself freely for use In this
direction. The heavy April quarterly dis
bursements for dividend account miulo at
custom financial centres Increased the loAnn-
bio surplus there nnd prevented the possible
stringency which had been anticipated by
some authorities. Money is easy through
out the ontlro west , and Kansas City capi
talists have been offering funds to bankers
hero nt low rates , nominal rates in fact , but
found no takers. This state of affairs
Is not entirely satisfactory , as It betokens
nn unusual bunincss depression , as Is really
the cose. An actlvo money market , even If
Bomowhat stringent. Is more to bo wished
for than n quiet , letharglu market , but until
. holders of surplus money can make un their
minds an to where profits nro to coma from
soonest. It must bo expected that the situa
tion will remain unchanged.
Jobbers report u very fair and seasonable
trade for the first week or April , with sales
footing 10 to 15 per cent in advance of last
April. Collections , however.uro not up to
the standard of last year at this season.
Farmers seem to ho holding their surplus
crops , nml while country merchants nro be-
lloveu to bo in good'comlltlon , they ilnd it
difficult to collect when their custom
ers nro holding back the pro
ducts which should bu converted into
money , and therefore cannot be as prompt
In remitting to the jobbers ns they should
bo. Nevertheless reports from traveling
( talesmen nnd interior bankers nro hopeful as
of tno ultimate outcome , nnd there is no
doubt whatever but that the year's business
will snow the Increase which has coma to bo
looked for ns a neccssury sequence. Prices
I show some changes. Sugars are higher
again nnd the trust maintains Its grip ten
aciously , feeling perhaps that as it may , it
will.
In dry goods ginghams nro lower , stan
dards being quoted nt OKc , while prints nro
higher , with n very largo and exceptional
demand for satines , whlcn displace ging-
hnms , but do not Interfere with prints.
Teas , molasses , salt nnd rice are ilghcr
mid groceries nro , ns a. rule , steady' , with n
tendency to higher llgurcs.
The lumber and hardware trade Is brisk ,
nnd the general outlook is very satisfactory
indeed.
Heal estate values nro fully maintained ,
especially on inside propcry , and there Is a
demand for eligible suburban property con
sequent upon the consolidation nnd probable
extension of the street railway system.
NOTES.
A table published in the London Economist
shows the increase In the copper output of
the world since 1832. It shows the output of
the Ealco Superior mines to have increased
in that time from 2,5410 to 8S,7J tons , nnd
the Montana output from 4,015 to 43.UT3 tons.
The total United States output Increased
40.740 to 103,123 tons.
The short crop of sugar cano and the rise
In sugar and other cano products is stimu
lating tbo production of glucose. It is
' claimed that a bushel of corn will make
thirty pounds of sugar nnd three pocks of
cow feed. To convert corn Into sugar Is a
very simple process. The corn is first con
verted into starch. A small percentage ot
sulphuric' acid converts the starch into
sugar. The transformation Is so sudden as
to seem marvelous. A vast quantity of corn
sugar and corn syrup Is used by brewers nnd
ll&.f confectioners. A largo portion of the fancy
syrups sold by crocers is also corn syrup
with a fancy name.
Coffee is held firmly. The present esti
mate of the growing Hio crop Is ns low as
1,500.000 bags , though the more conservative
put It at 2,000,000 bags. But this Is-a very
small crop , when there should bo 7,000,000.
The drought has boon unusynlly severe in
the coffee districts , and now the yellow fever
Is raging in both Klo nnd Santos , which will
tend seriously against the coffee crop.
Oils are fairly uctlvo and carbon oils nro
steady. Turpentine Is off Be , with sales at
B2V4C nor gallon.
Kenned sugars are active und advancing
and at New York there is an evident disincli
nation to book orders for moro than 100 barrels
rols to any ono buyer. The combination o
refiners does not weaken n partjclo , nnd the
sugar trust has just as much power as It hai
before the decision was rendered by a New
York Judge. The European sugar continues
buoyant , with evidences of considerable ox
cltcincnt , while Cuban advices state that nl
the warehouses ut Havana and along thi
const are almost empty and exports nro
much smaller than last year , despite the ad
vnnced period of the season , nnd a large
number of plantations have already termi
tinted grinding. - . . . . . . .
Dried fruits are selling much better than
canned fruits , ns they are n good dea
cheaper. California dried fruits nro doing
particularly well and peaches and apricots
nro having a very good salo. fcvaporatoi
apples a-.o selling slowly nt unchanged
prices , but cnouch orders ore coming in to
hold the market steady. Raspberries are m
good supply and prices nro shaded. Black
Eorrlos are low and sales are made rathe
freely.
Canned corn Is attracting a somowha
bettor demand , but it will require u long
season of activity to work off the abundance
of stock that Is held In all sections of the
country. Prices are low and declining.-
The salt trust is an assured thing and the
advanced prices are maintained. Many of
the loading soil men of Now York and Chl-
caco have been Interviewed nnd they admit
that English capitalists stand ready to Invest
enormous sums in the purchase of salt blocks
nnd mines. , ,
Hlco is hardening In value and rough rice
has rocontlv advanced 50o per bbl In No\v
Orleans , whllo clean riceIs J @Mo per Ib
higher thoro.
. gome of the operators In Now Yorlc have
' "i boon talking higher prices for tea , based on
the shortage of crop , which Is variously esti
mated from 7,000,000. to 8,000.000. , In addi
tion to this they have boon using the news
of'tho Chicago lire to dull the market. The
only change In the Chicago marKet Is an
advance 01 lo per Ib in Japtm teas that sell
below SOc. The loss by the llro was about
0,000'boxo3 , valued nt $1,000,000.
itlack strap molasses has commenced to
tnko the upward turn , with 1.000 bbls extra
heavy sold at New York at 12K for May ,
and. for the time being , at least , no further
offering nt that rate.

CHICAGO PnODUCB MARKET.
Cntcxoo , April 0. [ Special Tolotrrnm to
THE BUB. | The market was in need ot a
rest nnd took ono to-day. Trading was light ,
and though May was still nervous It was
steadier than It 1ms shown Itself for n long
tlmo back. There were still some tailors
liquidating and though the modlclno was bit
ter It was preferred to further worrying on
u bare bone. The promised display ofrca
flro nnd skyrockets did not materialize. The
May deal goes out with u ilzzlo llko n damp
squib. Some talk of cold , dry weather in
the northwest and the feeling which was
very general yesterday , nnd is still
prevailing , that the Falrbnnk interest
was inclined to push prices for
July a few notches higher caused
that future to open with n show of firmness
at about the closing figure of the day before.
Tbo discouraging nature of tbo foreign ad
vices , however , and the reported selling in
Now York of two boat loads previously
bought there for export , induced some selling
which brought about a lower range. The
crowd , whllo not evincing auy anxiety to
trade , showed n nervousness which kept the
pit well tilled with watchers waiting for a
decided lend to shape their course by.
Hutchlnson was supposed to bo loaded , but
h's ' tracks were so well covered that the
scalpers could not determine whether his
shot was likely to mnku the fur fly from the
bears or their antagonists , the bulls , The
fluctuations were confined within limits of
ol lO > 4 < glUKo fop M yn"d S-r > ? fc and & 6 % < &
80JXc lor July. The closing prices to-day are
lower than yesterday's by Ic on the former
nnd tfc on the latter ,
The corn market opened fairly firm , b.ut
Inactive , riicro was some uuying of May
and selling of July by n prominent llrm , but
the trading was generally of a scalping char
acter nnd of small proportion. Tbo receipts
exceeded yesterday's estimates by sixty
cars , and for Monday/ they were calculated
to bo 240 COM. The fluctuations wore very
narrow , nnd prices nt the close were almost
Identical with those prevailing at the cor
responding tlmo yesterday.
Oats were in better demand so far as near
futures were concerned , with May selling
UP 2@K < 2 to 20c. The Improvement was
largely attributed to yestoiday'a sales of
S.5,000,000 bushels of cash oats for Immediate
shipment , with reports of further negotia
tions a similar nature. The shorts took fair
quantities , and the market later ruled
weaker. The receipts were only moderate ,
with U3 out of $5 cars passing into the con
tract graiies. No. 2 , to go into store , was
dull nt 2ftKc.
Provision traders wore not overburdened
with business. Their outsklu orders direct
ing sales or purchases of pioporty were com
paratively insufficient , while in a profes
sional way the traders made an unusually
poor showing in all branches of the market.
Short ribs sold nnd closed nt practically yes- '
tordny's prices , but in porkadccllnonmount-
ing to lOo was suffered.

CHICAGO , April 0. [ Special Tolcgfara to
Tun BUB. I At the banks there Is n peed
steady business In nil the departments , nnd
ns the clearing house statements lndlcatotho
volume of the transactions is larger than
cv.or before nt this season. While not In ur
gent demand from nny particular source ,
money Is in suQlolcnt request to enable the
banks to employ a larger percentage of their
loanable balances , nnd with most banks they
show a liberal decrease during the past ten
days or two weeks , nnd rates nro steadier nt
6(37 ( per cent , 5@0 per cent being tbo ruling
figures for the choice convertible collaterals
and gilt-edged names , and 0 } < ® ' per cent
for good sixty days to four months paper.
The amount of paper on the street is
Increasing nnd commands 4J @ 7 per cent ,
the Inside being only In a few Instances.
Interior corn dealers nro still borrowers to a
considerable dcgreo , ns they prefer to fill
their cribs and hold their grain either
against sales hero for May and further de
liveries or in anticipation of higher prices
later on. There fs also u fair amount of
funds being used by cattle dealers who nro
buying stock to fatten for the Into spring
nnd early summer njarkot. Absorption by
thcso channels , coupled with miscellaneous
cells , is likely to continue In the near future ,
and there are substantial reasons for pro-
dieting nn easier monov market until busi
ness fully fools the effect of the summer
dullness. In fact , Chicngo linn assumed such
Importance as u financial center , and the
urea of the country which now looks
here for llnanclal assistance has become
sn broad that a return of the
old-time summer dnllnesi can scarcely bo ex
pected. Money in Now York has been ex
ceedingly Irregular throughout the week and
rates had a ranee of 8@10 per cent , closing
at 3 ppr cent for all bonds on stock and bond
collaterals. The prime cause for the linn-
ness was based on fears of further financial
tioubles in Paris. The fact that the monthly
settlements were nmilo without Interruption
would Indicate that the uneasiness recently
predominating here had subsided and that
monetary affairs were working smoothly.
Exchnniro on Now YorJc Is in moderate sup
ply and sold fairly nt par to a 60o discount
per $1.00 , closing at pnr.
Foreign exchange remainedflrm early , but
no advance occurred In rates. The supply of
bills was largo nnd brought f4.80 ( 4.)5 ! }
for shippers' documentary bills. The
class , however , was easy at the inside.
The feature of the stock marke.t
during the past week was continuo'd
actively In Burlington , Atchlson and Chicago
gas I trusts. The first named properties ab
sorbed ! the most attention , nnd wore exceed
ingly unsettled in their movements. News
regarding Atchison was more abundant than
about any other property , and of nn adverse
character. Early It was reported that the
roni was about to pass into a receiver's
hands. While there was no truth In the
story , the scare gave the Bostonians con
siderable uneasiness. Their holdings of
this properly have decreased heavily , about
1.000 stock holders having unloaded within
six months. While the Boston holdings
have decreased , those of Now York have
gained , and 2"i per cent of the entire stock Is
now held there. Heavy realization early
caused a short decline to 89 % , the lowest
ilgurcs reached. The break Induced heavy
buying to cover shorts. Gould also received
credit for buying largely , and it was reported
that ho xvaiitod to secure control of the prop
erty. The presence In Boston of a London
banker , who has acted ilnanclal agent of the
company , created n rumor that the road
would lie helped out of its llnanclal difllcul-
ties , and an advance of { } followed. Bur
lington sold off rather sharply on the publi
cation of its February report , showing a not
decrease of $03,000 , but subsequently rallied
over 2 per cent. Kock Island was slightly
depreciated by its report for 18S8 , showing a
not decrease of $1,425,535 , also that it liad
failed to earn dividends paid , its bonded
debt increasing $10,000,000. Chicago Gas
Trust advanced to CO , but receded about 3
per cent on heavy rcaluimr. Missouri Pa-
cilic developed surprising activity , and ad
vanced 4 points. Union Pacillc , New
England and Heading wore inoro animated
and generally higher. The rest of the list ,
ulthoufth irregular , averaged higher. The
ajrgi cgnto sales on the Now York stock ex
change for the week ending Friday were
1,818,000 sharps. Had the New York bank
statement been less unfavorable there
was good reason to expect that the stock
market would repeat the action of Thursday
and Friday nnd score fair pains in a few , at
least , of the active stocks. Such was not the
cnso. At the close prices were with scarcely
an except ion w hero" they closed yesterday.
The market opened with a fair amount of
business , with Reading , AtchUon nnd Gran
gers conspicuous. The prices were , ns on
the previous days since the recovery began
tf to % per cent bettor. The fluctuations
were narrow , with a dropping tendency from
the opening in tbo less active of the list.
While Atchlsou and Grangers made slight
advances Missouri Pacilio opened Jf lower ,
declined J4' and then advanced n point Irorn
the bottom and closed W better than last
night. There was a decline of J to % each
In Hock Island , Northwestern preferred and
TenncBso Coal , witti u rise of % In Ohio &
Misslppl. and % in Texas & Fort Worth. An
hour before tiiu close there was an increase
in the volume of the trading , nnd nn Improved
feeling ana an upward tendency in prices
with AtchUon. Missouri Pacilio and Burling
ton led in the list. Then came the bank state
ment , showing a'hoavy reduction In tbo rev
enue , leaving but little more than # 1.000,000
over the legal requirement. This fell llko a
blanket on Xho market , the upward move
ment was chocked , BO mo declines followed ,
and at noon the list was heavy , with all the
gains for the day lost.
The leading produce markets attracted
consldcrablo'attcntiou in n speculative way
during the past week , and trading was quite
active. An unsettled and weal : feeling pre
vailed during the greater portion of the time
and the prices of loading articles fluctuated
considerable. The weather in most sections
of the northwest and west has boon rather
favorable for farm work , though the temperature -
aturo was lower , .but not sufllciunt to clicqlc
seeding. Advices regarding the growing
crops continue favorable , nnd the outlook
for a good yield from the fall sown grain Is
very encouraging. Lake navigation has
opened earlier than usual , nnd grain Is mov-
lug toward the seaboard In round lots. In
fact all kinds of business appear to open up
earlier than usual , and the prospects are very
favorable for an actlvo trade in all depart
ments during the spring and summer months ,
Agricultural affairs In Europe are generally
encouraging to the farming interests , though
probably not as promising as in this country ,
Advices from the leading markets of Europe
were not particularly encouraging to hold
ers , and tub indications point to rather moro
conservatism In that quarter. The stocks of
grain In the foreign markets are gradually
decreasing , while the supplies of provisions
are sufllclontly largo to readily meet all
wants , The movement of grain at the In
terior points Is soinowbat limited , as Is usual
at this season of tbo year. The supplies of
grain In the central market are gradually
diminishing , whllo the stocks of provisions
show a gradual enlargement. In the specu
latlvo markets the bear Interest
appeared to bo u little moro suc
cessful , and prices In most Instances
have ruled lower. The operators apparently
are transferring their contracts ahead. July
delivery is now attracting as much if not
moro attention Ulan Muy. In tbo shipping
branch of trade there was only a fair busi
ness transacted. The shippers are buying
only small lots and merchants in the eastern
markets are looking forward to increased
supplies by the lake route. The export
movement is comparatively light in grain ,
excepting corn , while the shipments of pro
visions are moderately free. The movement
of live stock to markut Is rather liberal for
this season of the year. Packing operations
in the west are progressing favorably , and
the returns for tlm Bummer season so far
are considerably In excess of the returns of
last season to date , and the quality is dc-
cldedly boiler.
C1UMKS
Vciitllntcd In the Aromntlo Hnll of
the Police .Ttuljjo.
A qunrtotto Of young thlovcs was arrested
yesterday morning by Ofilcor Ormsby
for carrying on a systematic system
of stealing for the past eight weeks or moro.
They nro all mcro lads and their names nro
Charles Scott , Itobort Morrison , Frank
Fisher and Frank Bonlsh. The first two nro
colored. They nil acknowledge that their
latest exploits have boon mainly the stealing
of brass boxes for car wheels from the
Union Pacific shops. They say further that
they have disposed of nil thU brass to H.
Marks , who runs a store nt Twenty-second
nnd Nicholas streets , nnd ho has encouraged
thorn In their thefts , promising to
pay thorn n good price for nil
they could steal. This caused the arrest of
Marks on the ohnrgo of receiving stolen
goods. The boys nro charged With being
implicated In n number of burglaries of late.
The tlmo thoychoso for doing-thulr work
was when the police loft their boats to go to
roll call.
John Luckslugor has sworn out n warrant
for the arrest of Otto Luekslngor , charging
him with stealing n flutomid buffalo overcoat
from him. Otto has disappeared.
Mr. M , Goodman reports that whllo on

plnco n section of lead pipe with several feet
of iron ulpo attached mid with cock Btops bo-
twenn tbo two.
Some thief broke Into .1. C. Tahiti's rial-
denco-at 2109 South Ninth street nnd stele
an elegant gold watch nnd'chaln. The watch
has a hunting case and \Vultlmm movement ,
Elgin works. The Initials J. C. T. wore en
graved 011,0110 sldo of the cnso and the other
contained n diamond ,
A case in which tliroo colored persons
named Dora Duhn , Harriet and Tom Wash
ington figured , created considerable fun in
the police court yertorday morning. The
dim-go against them was of using loud nnd
nbuslvo language. The three were found
guilty and lined each $5 and costs.
WHO TOOK THIS POISON ?
Mysterious Clrumiistiinoci Connuctcil
\Vtth Clio Allot > iI ! Act.
It was rumored yesterday that n man had
Attempted to commit suicldo , by taking mor
phine , in a house on Williams strent , near
Sixteenth. A reporter called at a house sup
posed to bo the place , and rapped loudly at
nil the doors , but received no answer. In
quiry was mailo nt neighbors , but nothing
could bo learned of the Inmates of the house.
Passing the house again the nowsgathoror
saw a boy steal from an out-building into the
dwelling , nnd running quickly to the door
again rapped loudly , but with no moro effect
than before. The reporter went nway a
