THE CONDITION OF TRADE ,
Prlmo Mercantile Popor Seven to
Eight For Oont.
THE CITY TRADE IS FAIR.
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

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

reported at U0.425 pkgs , against D.3SO pkgs

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

Cattle.
Saturday. May 11. 1839.
H was the old story over again tidy llttlo
cattle wore In demand nnd sold nt steady
prices , whllo heavy cnttlo were slow nnd
lower. The quality of the cattle was good ,
nnd the sales mads n very good showing ,
Iho beef und shipping steers sold nt &I.43K
W4.00. but mostly nt sa.lViQS.SS. 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 >

er * und feeders changed hands nt fortnor
prices. One bunch of yearlings brought
$2.73 , and sonio feeders $3.15 and 3i30.
Under tbo Influence ot the heaviest re
ceipts slnco March 12 , and lower markets nt
seine other points , tlio trade hero dropped oft
60 , Although the receipts have boon increas
ing , the demand has moro than kept unco ,
nnd to-day's supply , though liberal , wai
none too largo. In addition to n peed local
demand , thcro were nlso liberal shipping
orders. Quito n few light hogs were sorted
Up for Indianapolis , and Boston > was a frco

CnicAOO , May 11. [ 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

THIS UuK.1 Tlio only now feature in the
monetary situation Is the Increasing quietude
in nil directions. 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. Provisions' Uro
being shipped freely both to homo and for *
eign markets. '
