Money la Knujr Ilcnl Kstnto Sliows Animation nml the Gcncrnl Out * look Is KncnurnRlni : Col.- Icctlons Good. ' Bforo Money Tlmn for Money continues very easy , and bankers report a lnrh'o loanable surplus on hand , Money Inis not been so plentiful before tn 4'oars mid nil legitimate demands are readily mot. Prltno mercantile paper Is quoted nt 7 to 8 per cent. Kxclmngo Is dull at S5o to $1.00 > cr thousand. 'Jho week's clearing wuro f3,71D,12.1.W , : n decrease of 2 7-10 per cent , balances , $531,303.10. General trade con tinues very fair. There la n liberal stream of mall orders and salesmen on Uio road nro sat isfied with the results obtained. Collections are fair to middling , but upon the \vholo there Is out llttlo complaint heard In this respect. Prices are steiidy for moat staples , though sugars show signs of weakness , while cof- fcoa are llrmor. Flour Is nulot and shippers show n disinclination to meet holders' views. White lend , turpentine nnd linseed oils nro being manipulated. The whlto lead combi nation him Its ofllcc.i with the Standard Oil people , and It Is understood tnat whlto lead , zlnu and turpentine will bo taken cart ) of this season , nnd that consumers will settle the bills. The present policy is to reduce prices , frcczo out the smaller factories uml dealers , und , this accomplished , recoup all losses nnd make handsajno profits by a forced rise In prices. It is said turpentine will bo put at ! ! vc ! and whlto load to 2u If necessary to giro the combination complete future control of the markets. The lltjht between Now York and Chicago dry goods Jobbers on staples ia about over and retailers nnd consumers alone arc llnanclally bencllttod to date , though the Chicago men say they have downed Now York , and that that city must , in the future , play second llddlo to Chicago lu her territory. City trade is only fair , and considerable complaint has been board as to the dullness prevailing , owing , In a great measure It is claimed , to the cool weather till within the past few days. Collections in the city tire very good In most lines , nml when the host of artisans are to carry Out the plans of ar chitects , builders , street railway corpora tions , and the city and county works are employed , trade will doubtles cxpcrionco u boom which will bo thoroughly appreciated by Jobbers and retailers alike. Heal estate has shown much animation during the past week , nnd many inquiries are received by agcntx und through bankers and the mercantile agencies as to the advis ability of Investing the enormous surplus , which is accumulating in the hands of east ern capitalists and seeking profitable invest ment. A very heavy deal is on the tapis , which , if consummated , will place a largo acreage in the market subdivided into lots and small tracts , nnd probably open a now residence district and place it nnd adjoining property In closer communication with the business district l > v the building of a rontl operated by a quick motor with regular and suftlcient service tor suburban passenger traftlc. TJio produce markets have been very liberally supplied by homo und southern growers. Kocolpts of , butter have been heavy , and the market is dull and weal ; . In cheuso , the market is quiet and the demand light. Egg receipts nro moderate nnd prices linn. Poultry is in good demand , with light receipts , and urices uro steady. California fruits uro beginning to come In , and an abundant crop of cherries , peaches , apricots , etc. , isrmanlng. .Strawberries Have been in heavy supplyand' prices > are off. " New vegetables are plentiful , and In good demand at fair prices. Mr. Armsby , of Chicago , voices tlio senti ment of all intelligent people on the droiscd meat inspection question , us follows : "Wo nro glad to see that the Missouri legislature has had sense and honesty enough to put a quietus on the dressed moat law , and Kan sas City can still sell her dressed moat in the state whore she buys'it. This special legis lature craze is fast assuming a phase us ridiculous as it in dangerous. Some of our states have just passed In ATS that nro moro worthy to have emanated from a lunuttu asylum than from a body of law-makers. Now - u - days a legis lature gets together and-passes laws to gov ern railroad tarillH , manufacturers und mer chants ulikc , und in nine cases out of ten there is not a man in the whole outfit that over owned u share of stock , manufactured an article.or that knows any more about passing a law that would bcnellt the honest merchant or punish the dishonest one than an old gander knows about .singing the To Deum. Our whole system of politics Is get ting awry , and the main trouble is that the inducements offered to enter the political arena are not such as any honest business man of nvorago ability can afford to accept. Salaries were established years ago , when money was scarce , salaries were low , nnd expenses wore small ; in the meantime expenses have more than trebled , , salaries outside of politics have advanced witti ex penses , nnd there Is not an employer of tiny note in the land that does not pay his men of ability moro than the governor of the state ho lives In gets , often three times as much , and'hulf of the porters and second rate clerks got a larger salary than n member of the legislature. Ts'o business man of ability can afford to take any political posi tion , und the consequence is that the state and national ntfalrs are managed by a class of men that , outside of politics , would have hard work to got a position as sexton In a second rate church. Take it homo. Think of a private business managed by such a sot of yuhoos as fill our legislative hulls , our city olllccs , our consulates abroad. Where would It IttndJ- Echo answers , "in the soup. " And yet there It not u paper in the land that dares advocate the advancement of govern ment salaries to n point whcro good , efllclent men could bo hired. Wo want , one and all of us , in the next presidential campaign to advocate the policy of running a business man's ticket. " The sucar refiners hold largo Blocks of ruw- Homo 4t.lKK ! ) tons and have been com pelled to put the price of refined down J @ Jfo because of.continued light buying , und uro out of the market for raw. The entire temper , therefore , shows a radical change. The stock of sugar ut four ports of the United Kingdom Tuesday was only ir > 7OJO tons , however , against 230,000 tons ut the sumo timolast year. Tho.development of the trade in. canned goods is something wonderful. A price list issued by a largo grocery house shows an aggregate of nearly D.VJ different canned fish , moats , vcgotuulos and , fruits , Tliceo supplies come from almost every part , of the United States and the West Indies. They arfe put up in the host und freshest condition at the place of production Is seunona of plenty und con sequently furnish the fresher 'und more wholesome articles of food than similar but uncanned products , after having been cur ried for miles and exposed for hours in shops or perambulating pcdlors' wagons. The price U ulso such that what were once luxur ies only attainable by the rich nnd extrava gant are now within reach of the poorest. The empty cans uro gathered up and melted into solder. A Mlhvaulteo commission house has re ceived 450 reports from the fire spring wheat states. In answer to the question "What is l the stand I" 25S sny good , U4 fair , nnd 0 poor , "I * the ground wet or dryl" wa an swered with "wet" ' by 81 , ana "dry" by JiO'J , The stock of elieoso iu Now York May 1 wax 20,811 boxen , against 10,100 boxes the same date last j ear. Tug stock of butter was reported at U0.425 pkgs , against D.3SO pkgs May 1,1SSS. Stocks of eggti the 1st lint , ug- irrugutcd 5,011 bbls and 10,515 cases , against 0,7-10 bbls and 13.018 cases ouo your ago. The Cincinnati Price Current reports the packing of the went last week at 100,000 hogs , against 170.000 for the corresponding week in IbSS , The aggregate packing since March 1 is estimated ut 1,740,000 , hogs , against 1,505,000 for the corresponding time last your. Coffee is firm and unchanged. The latest Hlo News received says that the position of coffee is such that consumption must be re duced , the aujiply ls so small. It says : "As the end of the crop year approaches more nearly It appears evident that , accepting 5.000,000 bags us a fair estimate for thu 1SH3- b'J crop , wo shall carry over u considerable quantity from this crop to fill up holes la the 1889-00 supply. " In 1870 the gold coin in the United States treasury and In circulation amounted to (131,200,000 , as against fG07,000,000 In 1380. The total money circulation of the country Incrcatod In the meantime from $533,000,000 to $1,400,000.000.

Tlioro Is no change regarding the market for butchers' ntock. Desirable cows and heifers nro in demand nt steady prices. Cows sold nt Ss3.2.r > @U.2o , nnd bulls nt * 2.00@2.85. A few stack er * und feeders changed hands nt fortnor prices. One bunch of yearlings brought $2.73 , and sonio feeders $3.15 and 3i30.

[ Special Telegram to Tim UKH.I Wheat opened weak nnd about lo off on government reports of the gradual extension of rain all ever the Ohio valley. The Initial trading in July wheat was on n basis of 77i-4 ( < 370c ; a llttlo Intur the prlco wont to 79 > 4 ( 79 c , nnd for quite a whllo fluctuated between Tflo nnd TUj c , touching the two extremes frequently. Finally the market broke to 7SJ c. Heavy purchases by Hutchinson , "Deacon" Whlto and Schwartz & Dupce , under 79c , checked n further de cline and gnvo prices an upward turn. The market , during the last hour and n half maybe bo described ns firm nt ? ( ( } J4'c recovery from the bottom quotations. The early weakness was felt all along the line of cash and futures , nod In all American markets , and the recovery was equally gunorul. What tended to develop n bullish feeling were the clearances from the seaboard for the day In wheat , which wore equal to 885,000 bushels ; and the estimate for tho. week of 1,150,000 to 1,250,000 bushels , cleared from four imrts. Now York parties wired that 310,000 bushels had been Inspected out of store there , "which could not yet bo ac counted for. " The estimates of reduction in Now York stocks ranged from 450,000 to 700,000 bushels , und u reduction of 1.110,000 to 1 , 500,000 bushels in the total visible up- ply. Agents hero report a bettor demand , and Minneapolis people wire that the flour trade there is active at firm prices. The weather reports uro not , In all cases , re assuring. A great number of dispatches from the northwest to Dunham represent n decidedly mixed condition of things upthero. Some points report rain enough to assure n crop , and others hardly rain enough to lay the dust. Complaints from Uio spring wheat country are sufficiently numerous nnd cm- photic to Justify the belief that they can stand n heap moro moisture iu Da kota nnd Minnesota , without detriment to the crops. "Joe" McDonald , by long odds , the most conservative crop expert In Chicago says that under the most favorable conditions it will bo impossi ble to raise a full crop of spring wheat , the ground having been universally too dry to give the plant a proper start , and that it will only bo a question whether the uvorugoyiold will bo five bushels or ton bushels per acre. Complaints from the winter wheat sections are getting decidedly numerous and unani mous. Showers are reported to-day from several points in Illinois , some as far south as Springfield , but the whole Ohio valley , up to last night , seems to have been parched. What to-day and to-morrow will do remains to bo seen. The signal service bureau pre dicts showery and cooler weather. In the speculative field , business was quite actlvo , and tha popular sentiment was decid edly bearish. Lint for the energetic support given' the market by n comparatively few strong parties values must have settled still further , as the selling fever was clearly on. Hutchinson proclaims himself u moderate bull under SOu for July , nml intimates that ho might sell above that figure. Ho says ho "Don't BOO much In wheat" nt this writing. July wheat closed at 79Jfi@7914 ; May ranged at SlX Ke , and closed ut 84c ; Juno ranged at , S2i , ' @ S-'ikfc , and closed at 83 > o. As compared with yesterday , the closings show a loss of about lLfc. Heavy receipts of corn this morning and the rains of the previous evening , caused a weak opening in that market , the first quo tation being about KQXa under the closing figures of the previous day. The weakness of the wheat market hud also u depressing effect , and prices made n further decline of o before the bottom was touched. There was agood deal of changing of May to moro deferred months , which was the principal feature of the trading. There was moro activity , but apparently not mucli in tlio wny of new business. The outside domestic markets were- similar lu tone to that of Chicago , but the foreign markets wore quoted firm. The estimated re ceipts for Monday were 515 cars. Tlioro was scarcely any recuperative power to the market wtiich was dominated by tlio consideration of the possible effect of another heavy crop. Prices ut the close show n loss , since yesterday , of from K ° to % c per bushel , on all the active deliveries. The shipments from the four principal Atlantic ports , during the week wore 120,000 bushels. Oats sold lower , ai was to bo oxpoctod. The opening was % ( & } { u beneath yesterday's close , duo almost solely to copious rains und a further weakness ensued , the greatest de cline being Kffljjc. Several operators , who bought liberally yesterday , sold out to-day at a loss and in addition there were reports of considerable short soiling. There was little or no demand from rccunt shorts nnd the market lacked support throughout , with expectations of heavy receipts for Monday. May sold down to 23c , and July to 33l c , after opening at a plump decline of p4'c , or 23J Deferred do ) Ivories were In moderate favor , with September touching 23c or ltfc below yesterday. At the close , No. 2 oats , to go to store , sold at 22J < @ 23c. Grading was bolter than yesterday , and withdrawals were Increased to 181,000 bushels. The provision trade was somewhat unin teresting. Cudahy'a ' name was given on a few sales of pork , b'ut m the general trade there was no development to occasion com ment , save that u quiet fooling is prevailing. Them was evidently a decided indisposition on all sides to branch out. and business fell considerably under the average volume. Prices , however , were inclined to rule easier , and based on yesterday's final quotations the day closed with pork sliowine n not decline of 17KC'32Kc ; lard of 3 > f@7Kc , and abort ribs of < CHICAGO LiIVlS HXOCK MARKET.

Uankors say there Is bo pronounced demand for funds from any source , und the volume of papermndo iiy representatives of nearly nil clnssoi ofmO chants who usually borrow largo llnos , nnd especially traders In grain and provisions , is steadily lessoning. Stocks hero nnd atothor points of accumulation nro constantly"de creasing , hence the Chicago bankers ar4npt called upon for funds with which to carry them. The mercantile nnd manufacturing Interests nro only moderate borrowers nrid tha sumo Is true of the lumber mid niUcoIln- ncoua branches of trade. The aggregate Is not sulllclont to absorb the receipts from the maturing obligations , and rates are onsy to deslrnblo borrowers nt @r > > j per cent , on call nnd thirty-day loans backed by couvcrtlblo collaterals and 5X7 | lor ) cent for good business names. Despite largo foreign exports of gold , money at the east Is in good supply nnd call loans In Now York are iiuotod nt 2@3 per cent for bond nnd stock collaterals. Choice tlmo paper nlso finds ready demand at onsy rates , nnd pr6spoctA favor U dull , easy , loan mar ket , until the oloso of the summer. The gen eral Impression is tjuit the channels for the employment of money will rontinuo narrow until the close of the small grain harvest. Now York oxchnngo wnt slow and sold at COQTOc premium per $1,000 , nnd closed at OOo. Foreign exchange sold fairly , nud rates ro- malnod Arm most of the weoic nt about ship ping basis. The offerings were moderate , but towards the close became easy nnd prices declined slightly. Documentary stir- ling bills on London sold nt $4.SO@4.87't' ' , nn < l closed at M.80. The mercantile trade was fairly actlvo. Th demand for light summer dry goods'Is stimulated by hot weather , and sales shqwod an increase. ColToos and sugars mot with good inquiry and u flruiur fouling prevailed. Other goods were distributed moro freely to consumers utunchangod prices. The Now York stock murlcot was qulto ao- tive. especially during the early part of the week , but In the latter part busi ness commenced to dwindle. Foreigners bought liberally and gave the market u firmer tone. Uoston nnd the west also "hud good buying orders on the mnrkot , the former taking Atohlson and thu luttor'tho ' granger stocks , while "professionals" bought the general list. Fair advances woro' re corded , Atchison bolng the leader and gained 8 points. The report of that company for 1883 showed that tlio not earnings had de creased 15. i per cent ' , and for the first quar ter of this your the 'not earnings were only $1,121,1'Ji ' ) , leaving $1).71M,8.VJ ) to bo earned In the remaining thrco quarters to brlntr the curnlnui up to the filed clmruos. The wocst about this company is now known , and with good crops its f Hands expect that itvill come out in the end. Tlio publication of the report caused free general selling , and ull the early udvnnco was lost. StPjjul developed considerable strength -and advanced lairly. There is u movomOnt on foot to reduce its interest charges $1,000,000 annually , by changing .its'bonds into 4s. Northern Pucillo and Orogona were active and firmer. The dccllno in London towards thu close , and nn InorousotV diafiosi- tion on the part of early buyers' to 'socuro profits , caused a week feeling , the entire ,11st sold off und ubout ull the curly gains were lost * Pullman was in the lead und declined 4 points. The feeling was bearish , and opera tors are disposed to go slow for tlio protront. Railroad earnings nro good , and are likely to continue favorable , unless the growing crops are materially damaged. The aggregate sales for the weolc were 9,181,21)7 ) shares. Thu leading produce markets attracted considerable speculative attention during the past week , and trading In u general way was nuito active. Prices for ull loading arti cles showed n mntoHu ! advance , and the ap preciation was moderately well supported. The dry weather hud some effect onftha grain inarkots early in the week , which was counteracted , to some extent , by rains-in some sections within the past two or th'i'oo ' days. Moro rain , however , IB goncrully needed , especially through the central portion tion of tlio west , In order to ussuro good crops of small groins.- Farmers uro through with the bulk of their spring work , und nro forwarding grain t" nnd live stock moro freely , and elevators of small stations , and provision warehouses at interior points , are having their supplies reduced by a mbvcrilcntjto coritrnl markets. The movement of tffam from lake ports was qulto liberal. Exports of flour and wheat wore fair , and largo .of corn nnd provisions. Considerable pro'p- orty , both of grain und provisions , aconittod on May contracts , was forwurdod to consum ing markets. Advices from abroad wtfro generally favorable to tuo'growlng.orops. ' , slight damage being reported in some HOC- lions. The tone of the foreign markets indi cated moro steadiness In that quarter , .and higher prices wuro nuotod for most descrip tions. . In provisions the fooling was stronger , duo largely to thn demands from the "short1' interest. Hogs wore in better aupply ut the loading , packing centers und the prlco for coed quality Is well maintained. The pack ing of the west showed un 'increase duripg the week , compared witli tlio returns of lust year , and thq aggregate packing slnco Mut'cli 1 is considerably larger.
