THE CONDITION OF TRADE ,
Continuance of the Easy Fooling In

A HEAVY SURPLUS IN BANKS.

Noted in tlio Amount of
The Ijocnl RoHiuno.
The money market continues very easy ,
nd , as the bank statements given below
how , tncro Is n heavy surplus In the vaults
f the Omaha national banks In excess of the
ognl reserve. 1'rlmo mercantile pnpor Is
cadlly taken nt 7fi8 per cent per annum.
Cxchnngo Is scarce and In demand nt $1 per
housand premlnm , Ciuncral trndo
ontlnuos good In most lines.
Soot nud shou dealers are complaining inoro
.ban others. Collections nro very fnir , nnd
lie stnto Is evidently getting Into excellent
ondltlon Jlnniiciidiy. City trndo bus 1m-
irovod inatcrlally during the pn t week , nud
is labor llnds employment , retailers will on-
oy n.brlsk season undoubtedly. Koal estate
> hews Increasing activity , and when the pur-
liases , contemplated by the United States
government , of sites for the custom
louno und postofllco and for ITort Onialia
re made , n boom may bo confidently looked
'or. The bank clearings for the week , ns
oportcd by Mr. Hughes , manager of the
clearing house , were $ li)8IHl.'JJ : , an In-
cruaso of (11-10 per cent. .Linlancos were
yoi.ooT.na.
Money Is moro plentiful In London this
ipring than for any corresponding porlod In
rears past. Discounts In the open market ,
hrco months' bills , nro now quoted at the
rate of per cent. The conversion of the
ld 3 per cents Into the now fi per cent con
lols Is said to bo a great success.
Them is an offering of 1,000 bags of now
crop Hnizll coffee on the Now York mnrkot
understood to bo seeking bids ut Kl o cost
nnd fralght terms. Tlio prlco of fair to prime
coffee of the last crop In the Chicago market ,
's about l'J@20c per pound. During the last
, en years prices for the snmo ijinllty have
ranged from Uo in 1885 to 18o In .637. The
irc.sont high prlco is duo to shortness In the
Urazllmn crop , which Is expected to bo fully
one-half less than the usual supply. The
United States consumes about 4.000,000 bags
of cofteo every year , which is a little less
ban one-half of the world's consumption.
Prominent Chicago tea men say that the
Amoy Oolong tea spoken of by Consul
rownll as the poorest nnd most Injurious
, ca shipped from China , is simply n low grade
of Oolong , und is used largely for mixing
purHsos | , and while It is colored to a certain
extent , there Is not suflleietit coloring matter
to render It unhealthy. Very llttlo of the
Amoy Oolong tea llnds its way to Chicago.
Thera is n curious superstition among
fishermen that only once in seven years will
the mackerel catch bo abundant , and there
: ire many who positively assort that as this
is an unlucky your , n poor catch will bo In
order. Whichever it may bo , one thing is
certain , but few signs of mackerel have been
seen as yet.
Uio coffee continues to rule rnthor llrm , but
with u visible supply In and nlloat for our
Atlantic ports amounting to 01U.4S7 Oags ,
comnnred with only a SSS.-il bags a year
iigo. buyers nro slow in purchasing except
for current requirements. There nro good
suuplics on Uio , and Santos holds 3)0,000 )
bags. The Uio News says : "Thoro is n
good deal o.f reticence in modifying estimates
of the coming crop. " Tito Cafe das Agnas is
alluded to , but an out-and-out opinion as to
whether 2,000,000 bags Is too much for tlio
1SSD-90 crop Is not obtainable. At the same1
tlmo there Is no reason to doubt that much
lower estimates have boon telegraphed to
consuming markets.
Sugar Is booming under short supplies. If
the cane-producing countries in America
and India had turned out tholr usual quota ,
u notable appreciation in the value of the
utanlo might , perhaps , have been avoided ,
but it so chanced that the September cyclone
in Cuba curtailed that crop 200,000 tons , that
Brazil had u shortage of 00,000 tons , and that
thu small West India Islands were backward
nnd also produced less.
MisNKAi'or.is , Minn. , May 15. The North
western Miller in-day says"Although
there worn fifteen mills which ran to a
greater or less extent last week , the
Hour output fell under the 100-
000 mark. The aggregate production
for the week was t'4,070 , barrels , averaging
15,078 barrels daily , against 88,220 barrels the
previous week , nnd 170,300 barrels for the
corresponding time In 18SS. Fifteen mills
are in operation again to-day and indications
point to quito u gain in the output for the
week. Most of the mills got some orders
ahead lust week and although the demand la
light now they uro grinding stronger to 111 !
thoifl. A very fair call for flour was enjoyed
up to Saturday , but local millers at that time
became u llttlo firmer in their views , und
Jobbers Imviuir tuuiporarily supplied their
most pressing needs , there 1ms boon a relax
ation again in the demand. There aro-n few
linns that report nearly ns good u trade , but
the majority any that there has been a ma

"Nearly lltty thousand barrels of Hour ,

The market on heavy cattle was not so ac

The buyers bought them , but , as it were

yesterday had a desperate encounter
with three boars , in which ho came oil'

Roilloy heurd his dogs barking in what
is known as Townsoud swamp on Tues

thinking ho had treed a coon , ho
started out armed only with an axe. Ho
cnmo. however , upon n largo black boar
with two cubs at nor side , watching the
dog.
dog.Roilloy at once attempted to retreat ,
hut the old boar gave chaso. Ho slipped
behind a tree when she mudo a rush ,
but. missed him. The boar then rose
on her hind logs nnd atlotnptotl to hug
the hunter , but u well directed blow
with the axe cut u vein in hur nock and
stopped her for a moment. She re
turned to the charge , but another blow
disabled her. The two cubs them came
to the mother's rescue , and attacked
Reilley in the roar. They soon bore
him to tha ground and were fast over
powering him , when thp dogs joined in ,
the two bears turning to attack their
now enemies. . '
Roilley , recovering the axe , gave the
two cuba their quletun. Ho was covered
with blood -scratches , while two ol
his doers were killed. Later on neigh
bors helped carry 'tho bourn to the
house , The old bear tinged the beam
at 412 pounds , while the tWo young ones
weighed " 00 pounds each.

CHICAGO PRODUCE : MARKETS.
CIUCAOO , May 13. [ Special Tologrntn "to
TUB UBE. ] Sentiment , Influence and con
ditions were bearish to-day , yet the price of
wheat suffered very llttlo chniiRO. The
mnrkot was ineffectual In the production of
sensations of nny description , nnd operators
did not scorn to have decided convictions.
Outside of a group ot chronic
bears , the majority of the middle-
wolRht "old staffers" of the wheat
pit are "scoring for nn advance. " Every
time the mnrkot pauses utter n decline they
"nip In , " but on the lirst symptoms of renewed
nowod depression they run. They want to
have some wheat when the mnrktt starts up ,
but they do not propose to stand n loss. The
Immediate influence of such operations Is
therefore bearish. "Scoring for n rise gives
nn genuine support to the nmrkct Unless the
outside condltloun conspire to force n con
tinued advance. When the doubling up pro
cess begins , however , the market gains Increasing -
creasing momentum. The blackboard re
corded n clearing of 101,000 bushels of wheat
to-day and 72,000 bushels additional are being
loaded out to-dny. The sale of 50,000 bush-
Ics besides on a basis of 2o premium
over Juno wns reported , mid considerable
small business for account of Interior millers
wns done. Local stocks will show quito n
reduction in tho-wcok , nnd estimates of a decrease -
crease In the visible supply range from
1,000,000 to 1,503,000 , bushels. The host nu-
thorltlos llon 1,250,000 as nbout the proper
figure. Exports for the week from the four
principal Atlantic seaports foot up 714,000
bushels of wheat 230OOJ , packages of Hour.
This will make a grand total ot about
1,000,000 bushels , or moro than any
wock in mnny months. Facts con
cerning the movement of and changes
in actual property were generally bullish ,
but us regards the magnificent crop prospects
they oxcrtud at the most only u passive resistance -
sistanco , which was sufllciont , however , to
prevent a further shrinkage in values. Con
trary to expectations , the receipt at primary
points showed very llttlo Increase this week
over last and shipments are nbout the sumo.
Arrivals at Minneapolis are large , but only n
small proportion represents wheat directly
out of farmers' bunds. Drenching ruins
throughout the central western country west
of the Mississippi are reported and crop ad
vices frourtflSfnorthwest arc for the most
"
part vjcryT" favorable. The Ohio
vulloy tiln < J-stand moro moisture , but
the needs 4 in that direction are
In a fair way .to be satisfied. It continues to
rain in California nnd this is not good for
wheat nf"itsu present stngo of development.
The local range was very narrow to-day.
July , tho.fnv , ] { > rite month , opened at 77J c ,
sold down > to .71 40 , nnd for the most part
clung within faa of 77o. Tlio scalpers de
scribed It ns A 'stlngy market. " There was
nothing I\L \ itJor them. Operations were on
n restricted scale. Uutcbiuson was a seller
above 77c"nnd a buyer bolow. Now York
sent bearish news and sold wheat steadily
nnd in " . ftidderato quantities. Export
business , totho amount of 13
boatloads Vfus. exported , however. The
undertone to Uio local market was "unques
tionably llrra. 'On Uio surface things ioolt
bearishf'but Iherd hits boon substantial buy
ing by commission houses for the past two
or three days. The fooling booms to bo
changing and wheat is gaining friends
among the conservatives , wao feel that the
crop prospects have been discounted too
liberally. The market took on an appear
ance of Increased activity toward the closo.
July left off at 77 ] @ 77 > fc , or identically
where it did yesterday. May opened at S'J > c
nnd closed at 83 > c. Juno started nt 8U f
nnd loft off ut 81c , soiling iu the meantime
nt 8liJ e. September closed at 74-i o. The
whole list rested on the same plane as yes
terday.
Heavy receipts of corn , ns shown by the
inspection returns , caused a weakening , The
weakness was nlso helped by thomagnlflcent
weather which is now favoring the recently
planted grain , und was intensified when the
estimated receipts of 073 cars for iMonday "ao-
ciimo known. The cables reported dull mar
kets abroad , und all the governing domestic
markets were in sympathy with the weak
ness hero. The business done was con
siderably in excess of the recent average ,
nud there was n good demand for .Inly ,
and below 84c. The demand wns , however ,
largely duo to the shorts taking the profits.
Investment buying appears to bo light , and
Is doubtless discouraged by the recent course
of the market , There was a good Inquiry
and sales of thirteen boat loads at New York
for export. The cash mantel shared in the
weakness nnd declined in futures , shippers
being ublo to secure concessions of jfaGiKo
under the prices current yesterday. Spot
corn was J c lower than It closed on Friday ,
and the futures showed about the sumo de
cline.
Oats were dull und weak to } { o lower on
future account The receipts were again
large nnd the wcannoas in corn extended to
this market , which derived no support aside
from n mill buying for the account of shorts.
Posted withdrawals of 282.500 bushels ex
erted but little steadying influence , us heavy
arrivals are anticipated for next week. May
sold down to 22 > fc , with Juno nrouiid 82 > { i'fg (
22s , while July was conllned within n nnr-
row range of 2JX@-Xc. No. 2 oats to go to
store sold nt 23J c.
The provision trade acted Independently of
the hog market. The latter fully lOo higher
under unexpectedly light receipts , but It had
no effect upon produce. 'On the contrary ,
pork nnd its companion lines wcro heavy
from the start. Short ribs wore bought
pretty freely by Jones , Kcnnott & Hoskms ,
but oven of this artlclo the offerings exceeded
the demand. In all departments of the mar
ket values were depressed by the
sellers outnumbering the buyers , end ns
n consequence a doc-lino wus suffered.
The receding turn wltnessod. however , oo-
c.iaionod no stir and the cluy passed with
scarcely moro than moderate trading and no
feature of special interest. The business
transacted was also largely on local account.
For cash delivery lard was sold .it S'J.75 ®

A SONG OF A SHIRT.
Tlio ItnvnKes Muclo by Ijaunilrcsscs
Upon Men's Uiuloriveur.
These poor , unfortunate Individuals
who lilco inytiolf , are reduced to the dire
necessity of sanding tholr white tihirts
to the laundry I believe some ono
called it the "foundry" may have ob
served the dilapidated condition in
which they generally return , Buys a
Writer in the Pittoburg Dispatch. For
some tiino 1 was wont to send my shirts
to the stoain laundry. They usually
came back stiiTor than buckram and ol
a lively cerulean tint , strongly sugg
tlvo of Prussian. .Had this boon ull I
could have endured it. But they also
cutno. back as circumstances might do-
termlno with the ono ivory button
wrenched oft and the cloth to which it
was sewed torn along with it , or else
ono or both sleeves were dislocated al
the shoulder and left hanging by ono or
two stitches' or else the bnok of tha
shirt wns split , ns a sailor would sny ,
' 'from clew to earing' " or else the wrist
bands or necks were frayed out lu such
a manner thnt the stiff , rough edges
cut my hands or nock llko n saw. All
this , bo It observed , with shirts now out
ot the shop , so much for washing by
machinery.
Disgusted by the above stnto of
affairs , I bethought mo of trying the
natives of the Celestial empire. 1 have
no prejudice against the Chinese , Fern
n considerable time my shirts came
buck in a stnto of tolerable preserva
tion , nud I began to imagine that
my troubles in this direction
were nt nn cud. Halnbows ! too
bright to last. Like till dreams
of hapulness on earth , I found
ihls also valu. The Chinese I find nro
becoming civilized , that Is to say they
have acquired the capacity for looking
nftor tholr own Interests to the oxolu-
ston of these of the outside "barbar
ian. " Civilization to them moans supreme
premo solllshiioss. This way of looking
iftortholr own interests imvy bo some
what short-sighted , out that
is of no consequence. After two
or three washings I found that
my shirts became so louder that
they would tear when the slightest
strain was put on thorn. They were
hko the Irishman's shirt , "tinder as a
ohlckon for as Quid's 'tis. " How was
this ? Mirabilo dlctu the Chinese were
ictunlly bleaching my shirt" with hy-
pochlorlto of lime , commonly called
chloride of llmol How did I find it outV
I soul a while handkerchief strongly
marked with silver marking ink. When
it rulurnud the mark was obliterated.
On examining the spot I found the
mark converted Into chloride of tilver ,
easily removed by an appropriate solv
ent. The marks on my shirt had disat- )
pcarcd in a similar way. The chloride
> f limo had so weakened the liber that
it had no tensile strength. White
shirts are usually made of cotton , ex
cept the breast and wristband , which
ire made of very sleazy linen filled up
with starch. The cotton is more easily
lislntegrated by chloride of lime than
the linen. Hence the cotton goes lirst.
Is there no remedy for this sttito of
ilTalrs ? Must I wash my own shirts or
employ a washerwoman ? Or must I got
i wife ? If the latter case , of course I
shall have to got a cheap one , since I
cannot atTord to purchase an expensive
one. Or perhaps there is HOIUO other
way out of the dilllcuUy.
A REMARKABLE DOG.
Mr. Hnrris KellH Him for $ IOOO ) and
ItuyH Him llnuk.
Mr. S. G. Harris , a horse dealer of
Vinconncs , Ind. , is the owner of a won
derful dog. It is a Scotch collie , and
seems possessed of almost human intelli
gence , says the Chicago News : Mr.
Harris exhibited him to Charley
Soli wart/ and a party of friends iu Mr.
Schwartz's private olllce in the board
of trade building Wednesday morning.
flis performances they seemed to
siiow too much intelligence to bo called
tricksama.od everybody. Dank bills
ind coins of various donoiniimtioiiB
were placed on the lloor and the dog
was rennested to take his choice , lie
immediately picked up a $10 bill , which
was the largest in sight.
\Vhioh piece would you give mo ,
UoazV" asked Mr. Harris.
Uoa selected a nickel and dropped it
into Mr. Harris' hand , Mr. S. A. Kent
came in while the dog was performing
and said : "Boz , I want you to bring mo
live dollars und a half. " Boz picked up
a $5 bill and a CO-cout piece , gave Mr.
Kent an I'm-onto-you expression , and
trotted over to Mr. Harris with the
inonoy. ' 'Find Mr. Richardson , " was
the next order. Boz trotted up to that
gentleman , looked up into his face and
wagged his tail.
Boz grabbed Mr. Richardson's hand-
jorchiof out of his coat pocket and trotted -
ted oil with it. "I want 815 , " said Mr.
Kent. Boz picked up a $10 and a3 bill.
' Bring mo the rest of it. " Boz barked
and growled. His next performances
were to bring a hat from the window
anil a piece of paper from the waste
basket in the corner , and ho also gave
an imitation of the way _ tlio clown-dog
prayed in the cinus : which Boz and his
master visited labt summer. At Mr.
Harris' request that ho pray like it good
dog , iie got up in a chair , put his paws
up on the back , and , after putting his
bond down between hispawsrovorontly
closed his oyos. "Got down. " said Mr.
Harris. Boz did not stir. Mr. Harris
tipped the chair over , but Boz tooic up
his position again as soon as the chair
was righted. "Amen , " said Mr. Harris ,
and Bo/ jumped down and wagged his
tail. Boz showed them how the
bad boy winked at the girls in church ,
played bartender by giving back Mr.
Hatris his correct change after the lip-
titious purchase of two drinks , and did
other equally wonderful tricks. Mr.
Schwartz wrote out his check for $ (1,000 ( ,
which ho gave to Mr. Harris for the
dog , and Mr. Schwartz took the an-
ninial home with him Wednesday night.
Mr. Harris could not sleep , however ,
and he came down to Mr. Scluvartz'H
olllco bright and curly yesterday morn
ing and olTored Mr. Schwartz $000 if ho
would trade buck. Mr. Schwartz re
fused the olTcr , but dually toolc pity on
Mr. Harris and sent up tu the house for
the dog. Mr. Harris was proudly ex
hibiting him in the Grand Pacific hotel
yesterday afternoon , and declared that
bo woufd Qiievor part with it again.
The dog is live years old and has boon
Mr. Harris' constant companion ever
since it was three months old.

This has been n bull week In Wall street and
iriccs on about every netlvo stock

in trading was the bull movement
In "grangers. " Crop reports ' from
nearly nil sections of the west were very
favorable , indicating u largo businessfor
western roads in the future. Chicago oper
ators who huvo been on the "short" sldo for
40U1O tlmo past changed their ideas and
bought heavily to cover tholr shorts nnd
wont . "long. " Foreigners r.lso bought
freely , nnd , ns is usually the nnso with spec
ulation In Wall street , they untlclpiUod. the
future , and a shnrn upward turn in
irices jesulteti. Chicago , Burlington &
3unoy ! , Kock Island , Si. Paul and Atchlson
wore the favorites. liui-llngton advanced
over 4 points , nnd the appreciation-
others ranged from a to 3tf } points. The re
funding scheme of the St. Paul holpod'that '
property somewhat , but the advance \vas not
ns great ns on Hurllngton. There was good
reall/.lnir by "professionals" on advances.pud
slight recessions resulted , but they were re
turned. There was good buying of Oregon
Transcontinental und it advanced over 3
points. There Is a sharp tight going'on bo-
twoon. the Oregon Navigation nnd
the Union Paulllo for the control of
the Oregon Transcontinental nt the coining
election , nnd It was bought freely , ' , the
trading in it bolug larger than in any ether
stock on tlio list , but prlcoa closed lower
Ihnn the preceding wook. Oregon Naviga
tion was sold freely towards tlio close , and
it declined 0 points. The ante of the Wabash
rend to a committee of bondholders for $15-
WiO.OOO brought that property to the front
and the trading became riulto heavy In itUnd |
prices advanced 'J points. Chicago' Gas
trusts woro'bought heavily and advanced 4
points , but the free selling of "long" stock
caused n fair reaction. Ho nils were fairly
nctwu and Him The aggregate sales on'tho
Now York stock exchange for the wook.1 were
1,114,8'3 < ! snares.
Considerable Interest was manifested In
the produce market during the week .just
closed , and the undertone to the market- in
dicated an easier fooling. The .prospects' for
the growing crops nro now regarded as unu
sually favorable , the recent rains and snoiv
btorms in most sections of the west and
northwest greatly benoltttlng slnull
grains. The drouth scnro has disappeared
und reports from all quarters nro very en
couraging. The movement of gram to Hinullor
stations has boon somewhat enlarged , espec
ially of corn nnd oats , nnd supplies In/tho
country elevators are being gradually re
duced. The movement of grain from central
western markets has boon ijulto liberal , nnd
distributed to seaboard markets , ' 41111 !
throughout the interior. , The export
movement was moderately free of corn
and provisions and comparatively llgHt , of
Hour nnd wheat. The grain markets abroad
arc somewhat unsettled , with prices Inclin
ing in favor of buyers. Crop prospects
abroad nro generally favorable and , .mer
chants are not dls | > osod to enlarge tlioir up-
plies beyond pro&aiit wantii. Supplies of all
kinds of grain nro gradually Ulmlnlslilnirund
will probably continue to decline until the
new crops begin to move. The furnlers are
through with their * spring work and
mo inclined to Bell their sur
plus grain nnd llvn stock In
view of encouraging prospects. Thn move
ment of the latter lias boon quite free , es
pecially of cattle nnd hogs , and uhlppors
wnro compelled to accept lower prices.
In provisions the feeling was weak- and
prices declined materially on nil speculative
articles. The packing of the west shown a
further substantial enlargement , and thu
