The Local Outlook.
The money market continues caiy and in
A very raUsfactory condition , and bankers
report a fair demand from both city and
country for tholr spare funds. The situation
nt the cast Is also pleasant , and financial au
thorities In Now York report the outlook aa
favorablofor a prolonged easy money market ,
ffho clearings of this city for the past week
Amounted to f 1,103,181.80 , , nn Increase ! of ex
actly 85 per cent. The balances were $372 ,
103.53.
Monday , the 22d instant , is Arbor day , a
legal holiday , and the banks will bo closed
nnd business generally susDondcd.
General trade continues to Improve in all
lines , aud our Jobbers are very well content
vvlth the year's business to elate , Interviews
ivlth many of the heads of leading house1)
eliciting the fact that sales to dale uru
liberally In oxccsa of Inst year. Col
lections also are much better than n wool )
since , and there are no complaintc
of any kind heard la commercial circles , but
nil unlto in .laying that trade Is good , inonoi
easy and collections satisfactory. Crop pros-
pcctH are excellent nt present , and If noth
ing untoward intervenes prior to harvest ,
the people of Nebraska should , as a class ,
to well fixed by fall , and the business ol
Omaha show moro than the usual Increase
for thq year. Prices nro fairly steady ,
Sugar continues to advance and to-day1 ?
market Is up l-10u , making granulated 8 (1 (
Oo and very firm. All Boris of reasons arc
given to account for the advance. The latest
is tg thoolTcct that Sprockets , tlio California
Biigar king , having been snubbed by the
Now York sugar trust , of which the Have-
jneyors are tlio head , determined to bo re
venged and quietly laid his plans , nnd scc-ur
ing the financial assistance of the Roths
childs , who are known to have backed him
through the Bolmonts , their Now York cor
respondents , in times past , cornered the raw
sugar market by securing liberal aelvnncoi
tb the Cuban ulanturs enabling them to holt ,
their crops while Mr , Sprcelccls secured
what raw stuff there was to bo had iu the
other markets , and then applied the scrows.
It docs not appear , however , that the inter
erfts of the genial consumer were remembered
bored , nnd BO ho Is between the upper ant
the nether , a < > usual. Foreign dried fruit ;
bro very dull , and California scorns to have
driven Malaga raisins , French prunes , etc.
from the United States markets , nnd it li
confidently predicted that In a few years
importation ! ) of fruits and nuts to thi :
country will have wholly ceased. Cannot
goods ara selling slowly , and corn and torn a
toes were newer so cheap.
The metal market is somewhat lower
! Lumbcr is steady , with a slight decline to be
noted In sonio sizes of dimension stulT , com
mon yellow pine , flooring and shipping culls
Thu produce ! market is active , and commis
Blon men are fairly busy. Table dairy buttoi
is in good dcm.ind at 10 to 18c. Cheese li
quiet and in light demand. Heceipts of egg ;
tire liberal and the demand heavy , and price ;
stiff at lOc. Poultry is in liberal supply , demand
mand very good. Choice apples are scarce
Dud quotations nominal. Oranges and lem
ons are in active demand , nud stcudy at quo
tations. Strawberries and now vegetables
nro becoming plentiful , and prices are some
what lower.
NOTKS.
The most important nowaon this side o
Iho Atlantic is that ono of the iudepcnden
Btigar refineries at Philadelphia has enlargce
its plant considerably , thus increasing it !
output. It Is Btatod.thafc the Independent re
lincrics now control 21 ! per cent of the pro
auction instead of 24 before the imurovemcn
was made at Philadelphia. When Spreckels
refinery , now building , is completed , the 10
dependent refineries will control U3 per cen
Und the trust 07 per cent.
The undertone In coffee is bullish owlni
to the expected short crop , but the prcsem
pupply is certainly liberal. At Havre then
nro 500,000 bags , 281,000 of which are Brazil
Ian , uii'J ' there ) are . ' )7',0K ) ) ( > bags in Uio an <
P75,000 bags In Santos. The stock of Bra
kiliaii coft'co Iu first hands ut New York , Bal
tlinoro and New Orleans , together with th
poffee 01 the way to this country fron
Brazil , amounts to 520,723 bags , as agains
B3U.01U bugs a year ago.
Notwithstanding the heavy purchases o
evaporated apples by the Now Vorlt syndl
bate , which used , it Is estimated , S'J50,000 ii
the deal , there U still plenty of dried apple
nround Hocheator , N. \ . , that can bo bough
nt low pruies , The syndicate paid price
ranging from Jl'jfo ' lo 5 } < o per pound. It i
claimoel Unit the cost to manufacture a pouu
of dried apples ia U. ' e. In many inscanbc
the farmers suld their fruit without a ecu
of pro lit.
The crop reports from different soetlons o
the country are generally favorable , rain
Jiavlng fallen recently throughout Iho dr ,
eei'.tions of the west and nortnwcRt.
Hides are again weaker , duo to recon
failures In the cast in thu hide and loathe
business.

CntcAcio , April 20. [ Special Tolegrnm to
.I The glorious weather nnd ro-
icrts of marvellous crop prospects mndo
vhcnt as limp as a rag to-day. The outlook
hook the courage of the "stayers" md there
vus n general unloading of long wheat at n
sacrifice. The boars covered liberally early
n the day , but they kept putting out lines
as tlio session progressed , and there wora no
signs of substantial improvement. The
> roaks were sharp nnd severe , and th ral-
los only occasional. It was n victorious day
for the boars. The market opened 1 @ 3X °
off , as compared with Thursday , with May
quoted at 85o nnd July 81@S1C. A break
occurred Immediately and carried May down
to 83 > ( c , Juno touching 84o and July SO c.
jiuigcd by Thursday's closing quotations
.his . range indicated a decline of 4c in May ,
8 ? c In Juno and l o I in July. The
lear months rallied soon 1$1J ( { ° and July
advanced J < o under buying by the
shorts. The market worked back from 80J o
for July to 80Vc , und recovered to S0 > o
where it rested momentarily and ; thcn
started on the back track about 13 o'clock.
The raid was inaugurated by Ueam nnd
others , and the prieo wont to 79c. A big
jattlo was fought around SOc , and tnui-
sactions nt about that figure were very largo ,
is indeed they were all the way down from
S0 > c. This proved to bo the most exciting
lassago of the session. The market rallipd
: o SOj c , but there the offerings wore liberal ,
md further improvement seemed hopeless.
Again prices wont to SOo and hung there
[ or qulto a while , with trade active. Shortly
jeforo 1 o'clock the price dropped to 70a@
70 } c , and the market showed no moro
strength than It had at any time previously.
1 hero was undoubtedly good buying below
SOJ c , but evidently the mass of the wheat
camoout-on stop orders , and as the shorts
were seemingly no longer anxious to cover , the
market broke through the sentimental bar
rier that bad been erected nt SOc. There
was nothing for the longs to buy on to-day
beyond the fact that the rush to the selling
side is getting too unanimous. "Shoestring-
crs and tailors" are swarming to the short
side just as they did to the long sldo when
May was ubovo SI. 18 und July around $1.05 ,
because it was a sure thing. On the lust
break May wheat went up to 83KC ut > d July
under 79Mc , n loss of 4' c in May , 4J c in
Juno and 'JJfc in July , as compared with the
last quotations Thursday. The covering of
the shorts carried the price of July reluc
tantly back. to 71 > % c. The final figures WTO
84e for Mar , tj > fc for June , nnd VUJfo for
July. Hutchlnson was an active open buyer ,
and ICont was apparently operating the same
way through Poolo. Tnoro was n suspicion
that Hutchiiisdn was a seller on a big scale
"on the quiet,11' but there was nothing to
show it in the pit.
Operations in corn opened fro m J c to } o
under Thursday's closing figures and de
clined quickly about MC more. Them was
the usual Uullnbss after this reduction in
price , but no recovery took place , the closing
quotutlonsiboitfg generally the lowest of the
day. Thojosssinco Thursday at the close
was ? d'o in May , % c in Juno and M@7go in
July. Thq market feir corn was depressed
by the heavy receipts. The weakness in the
wheat inaqkef ; was also a discouraging fac
tor , but-pojrhOBa the most influential point
bearing upoii 'Speculative values was the
magnificent wottthor , with its crop promise ,
Expert flctacanccs for the past two days
were comparatively light , although that was
understood to be more on account of the
scarcity of vessels than any lessening of the
demand from abroad. Sellers were largely
in the majority and trading was mostly con
fined to the local operations , who inclined to
the bear side from the considerations ubovo
mentioned.
Oats were again subjected to a decline ,
which was moro marked than on any pre
vious day for some time , with prices at one
time ruling Ji@lc below Thursday's closing.
The actual , volume of business was mot'ur- '
atoly liberal , and the weakness was duo to
the general desire to .sell and the lackof buy
ers. Aside from some support given by the
shorts filling in , after opening lower at 3J c ,
May sold off % n to Zc , with u subsequent
slight rally. The so-culled clique was ap
parently out of the market for Iho day , and
trading was largely between the local opera
tors. June was at l ( St'aa premium , and
both that month and July were rel
atively less weak than May , while
cash and April shared thu general
depression. There was a largo business in
regular cash oats , with car lots to go to
store at 22 ? @ 22 > c. The weakness in the
other markets , together with the fine crop
weather nnd the Improved receipts , tended
to help the down -turn.
Provision traders passed an unusually
quint day. There was some covering of May
shorts in pork > ; ind short ribs , and also moro
or loss transferring of May contracts in the
same articles to July , but the now business
tiunsucted made a poor showing. Operators
were disinclined to branch out , though there
was a strong undertone , and the market in
its movements favored the holders. Based
on Thursday's last prices , the closings indi
cated an advance of 5c on pork and U ° on
lard. Short ribs closed unchanged
higher ,

tive enough to deserve notice. At the open
ing the volume of business was light , with

CntCACio , April 30. [ Special Telegram to
Tun BHB.I The week under rovlow has
been a quiet ono Iu banking circles. The do-
inand for money from the various lines of
business presented by the mercantile , manu
facturing and miscellaneous branches of
tiado have failed to show the increase ) which
many oxpcctod would como with uildnprlng
and the resumption of lake navigation , On
the reverse , the volume of paper ofTorcd for
discount has not exceeded the customary
average of recent weeks , and interest rates
are without change at 65K 1'or cent for call
loans on gilt-edged names and collaterals ,
and G@7)por ce > nt for tlmo paper. Bor
rowers on largo lines of grain and provisions ,
aud collaterals in city warehouses , generally
pay S5 } per cent , whllo loans of the same
character at other points pny 0@7 per cent.
The latter figures were also the ruling rates
for good mercantile and manufactur
ing pnpor nmdo by city llrms , while
? M Per cent is charged on outside
names , unless the signatures are str lolly
gllt-cdgcd. Money at the other llnunclnl
centers continues In good supply to takers
of prime paper. Now York interest rates on
call ranged at 2@8 per cent , and on business
names 5@7 per cent. The outlook is also
fair for the continuance of sloady ralos
during Iho remainder of the spring. Advices
from abroad indicate nil easier feeling in
financial circles , with Interest rutqs favoring
borrowers.
New vork exchange was slow and weak ,
but the pressure to sell was rather light ,
and rates remained steady at par to 23 diS'
count uer $1,000 , and closed at par.
The market for foreign exchange was firm ,
aud offerings of bills lighter thtin generally
expected. Shippers' sixty-days documen
tary bills on London ranged at $1.85X@4.Srt ,
The mercantile ) Jobbing tr.vlo was fair
during the past Wv-ok , but In ninny leadinp
lines sales fall to show any lucrnaso cvor the
corresponding time last year. These re
marks are also applicable to the snrinq
trade , which has scarcely mot thu anticipa
tions of the Jobbers , who were encouraged to
look for considerable expansion because ol
the favorable character of the weather since )
the opening of the spring season. There are
also complaints regarding collections. Nun
York stock market was destitute of anlma
tton the greater part of the week , and
although there was ono day loss trading , the
volume of business only reached half of thai
transacted during the preceding weok. The
London market was lirmer and higher early ,
and fair buying orders cama from thai
quarter , but they were not suflleiont to cause
an Important movement in value of anj
property. Wheat was , as usual , bearish ,
and the little business which was transacted
by the operators in that cereal was on the
selling side. The entire trading was pro
fessional , and talcing the week as a whole it
was a decidedly unsatisfactory ouo.
j\ The specialties were given an occasional
upturn , and some buying of good eliviUenel
properties was noticed , but the dealings ol
this character were the exception , not the
rule. Oregoti stocks , which a short time
ago were active and advancing , turnce
downward , and under the free realizing bj
holders , Oregon Navigation declined iboni
10 points. Oregon Trans-Continental , however
over , only receded 1 < S . A rally of \ % fol
lowed the depression , but the close was
weak. Western stocks were gonorallj
weak , but the net losses , did not oxoeee
1 } points. The strict maintenance o :
rates is having a decided cfiect 01
the business of thu weaker line !
from Chicago to southwestern nuel
Missouri river , points , who are unable te
compote with their stronger rivals , and several -
oral have boon unable to earn operating ex
panses of late. The feature of the closing
day was the sharp advance in Pullman
wtiich sold 9 points above the lowest poinl
of the week on free buying , induced by the
decision of the United States circuit court
declaring the Wagner vestibulcd trains ai
infringement on those built by the Pullmni
company , and Issued an injunction nguinsl
the Wagner company. Gas trusls nlsc
made a sharp advance and closed "K point :
higher. The aggregated soles on tbo Now
York stock exchange for the live days enduif
Friday were 783,578 shares.
The loading produce markets , both grab
nnd provisions , exhibited considerable
activity during the past week , especially ir
n speculative way , and prices ruled will
moro or leas irregularity. In a general-way
there was moro pressure to sell the
leading grains , duo to the favorable crop re
ports , while the demand was only fair , and
credited mainly "to the short" intoresl. The
prices of most descriptions close lower than
ono week ago. The advices from the foreign
markets gave the holders very little
encouragement , and the domestic market :
exhibited very little change.
The crop reports from abroad were generally -
ally favorable , with some slight damage in
sections , which had litllo oiToct In a general
way. The favorable weather for farm worli
ami the good prospects for the growing
grain have oncourasrod the belief that the
yield of all kinds will bo plentiful. Thin ha ;
to some extent curtailed the consumptive do
inand and confined purchases to immediate
requirements. The stocks of grain are
gradually diminishing uttho larger markets ,
and the deliveries at the smaller stations are
somewhat limited. The movement ofgrair
towards the seaboard markets was in creased
considerably owing to the opening of lake
navigation aud the departure of fleeb
