THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : STMDAY MAT 26. 18S9.-SIXTEEN PAGES. 15 ME CONDITION OF TRADE , Now la the Transition Period or the Year. QUIETNESS RULING EVERYWHERE t'rlcon TcmlltiR Lower In Almost All Branches Money la tinny nntt Colloollonn l < nlr Job bers' Meeting. The Financial Situation. The money market continues very easy , und though there Is a fair demand from Job bers and manufacturers , the situation Is not entirely satisfactory to bankers , who would prefer to have n moreuctlvo demand for their surplus funds. Exchange It very steady a II per thousand premium. Clearings for the week Is reported by Mr. Hughes , manager of the clearing house , were &J,7Sr.707.U , ( > , a de crease of U per cent. Balances footed $357- 070.00. The LJoll Telephone company Is reported to be nbout to issue $5,000,000 of new stock to utockhoUlcrs nt par. According to Us own statement the United Stales treasury hai purchased since August R , 18S7 , a grand total of 91ISUU,100 ( ( of bonds. Of this amount 01..M)0.25U ) were 4 per cent ? and $107.048,850 4 > I'or ' cents. Their cost was SltM.fcSiUno , of which $7t,023,8S3 ) was paid for the 4 per cents , and $015,030,800 for the 4J cor cents. The saving by the pur chase amounted to 5STif)90,03r. Collections are fairly good In the country , though thu city still lags mid complains of dull trnde. As an evidence of tbo trouble that credit men Imvo to keep up with the situation It may be otatcd that Dun's agency In the past six months report , in Nebraska nlono 4,121 , now names a.O.VJ names obliterated , 33 now towns created and 2-1 towns abandoned. General trade is only fair. There 11 n serv sonablo call for dry goods , millinery nnd notions ; hardware Is active nnd lumber rather ( juiot , hides nro dull , groceries uru moving steadily on orders by mall and from salesmen , but there Is what Is termed u languishing market in all lines though sales nro actually In excess of 1883 , except In boots nnd shoes , which are slightly off. Prices are steady , as a rule , with udvnuc Ing tendencies. Sugar Is deemed certain to go higher. Oranges are higher and active. Lemons are excited , and quotations are from M 00 to $5.00 for choice , to $ t.00 ! and tt.no for fancies. Dairy produce is in very full supply , and butter Is being taken by packers at their own prices , say 10@Ilo for good to choL-o table dairy. Now vegetables and berries are plentiful and lower. Poultry is steady at quotations with a good demand. Potatoes are scarce , and , ns the receipts of new are light , old stock Is higher and is likely to continue so. The principal topic fnjgrocery circles has been the disruption of the tobacco combina tion , caused by the enactment , by the leg.s- laturo nf Missouri , of a law making it a penal offense for any firm or manufacturer to combine with others to arbitrarily ilx the prices of merchandise. Leggett & Myers and the Drummond company , two of the largest manufacturers of plug tobaccos in the country are located at St. Louis , nnd ns this law makes it impossible for them to hold the trade up to the combination prices all other manufacturers in tlio United States are compelled to meet the exigencies of iho situation nnd leave the making of prices to the Jobbers , nnd while a majorty ot these will bo found willing to bold prices linn , post experience has proven beyond doubt that ihcra are some within their ranks who will cut and demoralize prices to gain trade and the ma jority must In self defense follow suit. A meeting of the leading Omaba jobbers has been hold and a resolution made to hold prices nt u fair margin , but as it Is Known that already some of the smaller Jobbers have indicated a determination to make n formal withdrawal from the com bine , It Is feared that all efforts will bo use less nnd the cutting and slashing of u year or two since will recur to the serious loss nnd detriment of the jobbers , and wlthout'any special bonoflt to the consumer. It Is feared , also , that tno trouble will extend to the cracker and candy trade. The stocks of wheat nnd corn at twenty- one leading Interior and seaboard markets east of the Rocky mountains.

Havana cables Imvo been re ceived stating that the dry weather contin ues. The large sugar cstatc.s are still work ing , but Tains ura n ceiled badly , the cane being hard and yielding llttlo Juice. Most of the smaller plantations have finished their crops with a difference of 25 to 40 per cent less production ns compared with the pre vious crop. Much new cane will ho planted and the area for next season's grinding will bo greatly increased. It Is mud to bo con ceded that the crop of 1888-89 will fall short of that of 1687-88 fully 150,000 tons. Fre quent Ores have occurred among the sugar cane Holds , causing thn destruction of large tracts of standing cano burning over lands recently cropped. This , no doubt , is owing to the long continued dry weather. Huln is very much needed nil over Cuba. The Now York Times , under data of May 23 , uuys ; "While the public. In and out of Wall street , has been treated for weeks and months past with talcs of utter domoralba- tion in the coal trade , and the price of stocks has been raided on nuch tales , the fact is that that trade has not , in a long time , been in any such healthy style as It is now. There has been a surfeit of talk about a glut of coal nt thu mines , and a bigger glut at tide water , with no glut anywhere. Yesterday the coal companies made all this very plain , showing pretty plainly that they have boon fooling the public about the real condition of things. By wo fill tales they have prevented threatened adverse legislation ; they Imvo been able to stocr clear of strikes and avoid demands for Increased pay to employes , and they also , through the same policy , have boon able to keep most of thu biggest pur chasers of ooal out of the market till the present time , when , aura of every iid vantage , they are able to demand higher prices , and maintain a dictatorial position. The first of n series of advances In the prlco of eoul was officially announced to-day an advance of from 10 to 15 cents per ton. OMAHA. sroqic. Catciu. Saturday. May 25. There were too many cattle hero Sot u Hat- xirday , moro tliau there , were either at Chicago cage or Kansas City. Tbo buyers were in no hurry to commence operations , uud It was Into before the market opened. The market WUB alow all duy , uud about lOc lower , un'css ' it might bo on some very dosirabto little cattle - tlo which happened to especially strike a buyer's fancy. It being the last day of the week , the dressed beef men were nut In iioed of many cattle und tlio shippers were not itroDK buyers , ovary one looking for heavy reoclp'd and lower markets for the Unt of next week , Kvon the most dwira- bio llitlo cattle were slow , but they were not to bo compared in that respect with the heavy cattle , which no one Boomed to want at any price. The quality of the beef nnd hipping iteora vrus very good , und the yards were full of desirable cattle of all kinds , The Btoers sold mostly at $3.tiO < 33.SO , but the ox. tremo range was 13 40&3.UO for full loads. The supply of butchers' slock was more lib eral and there were moro full loads of cows on sale than have been BOBD in the yards in a number of days. Although the demand for this class of staff baa boon good and prices bar * averaged about steady , tbo market was lower to-day and slow. The COWK sold at | fcOO < $ & 80 and bulls at | 3.&QgMX ( : ) . Some yearling steers and heifers sold at t3l > 0@UO. : Out of all the cattle there were not feeders aud stockers enough to mnku a market. There was considerable inquiry for cuttle of thut kind. A small bunch of feeders sold at 3.80 and some stacker * at f 3.00(3 ( j.20. HOC * . The recMpta were unusually l.cavy for Saturday , and the bu.vrrtt took a'lv.ua jpo of the fact to do omo hard pounding on the markot. The tr.ido opened with n few Rood loads nolllng nt $ .304.23 nnd with ono trade nt W.30 , but the innrkot had not f Airly opened before tU5 was the hid for most everything. In the end the buyers did not succeed In gcctlng much of concession from yesterday's prices. The market at most could hardly bo quoted moro than n shade lower. Sheep.

The substantial business men of Omaha In largo numbers nro looking for desirable resi dence locations With the intention of building homes for themselves. It IB n fact that Omaha Is behind many cities ot the same or oven a smaller population In point of ( Ino residences. Tills is duo to iho fact that It Is only within the past year that street gradra In outside plats have been permanently estab lished , so ns to make it safe for property owners to innko valuable perma nent Improvements. This fact , with the utter lack of nnythlng like adequate trans portation facilities , has delayed the growth in the most desirable residence loiuitions. The proposed extension of the motor nnd cable lines has removed the last retarding fonlurb , and a marked Increase In the num ber of really line residences Is anticipated 5 In fact , Is already assured. The real cstnio dealers nro unanimous In tha opinion that the north und northwestern portions ot the city will first feel the effects of this growth , They confidently expect to see the rlduo from Furnam street to Florence , nlong In thn vicinity ot Fortieth street , monopolized by the wealthier citizens , who will build homos for themselves. This ridge is In the line of the proposed boule vard which the park commissioners have In mind to run froiri South Omaha , west of Ilanscotu park , east of Walnut hill , iind p.ist the park donated by citizens At the junction of Thirty-sixth street with the Omaha line , nnd thence northeast to Florence. It is proposed to make this boule vard 150 foot wide , the property owners along the line having expressed a willingness to donate a large part of the property needed for the opening of the thoroughfare. H. W. Yntcs , Guy O. Barton , G. Dumont , F. L. Wylle , E. N. Nash , Bishop O'Connor nnd Dr. Mercer nro among those-who already have handsome homes built or planned for construction on this handsome nnd natural eminence. The extension of the motor line to Lowe nvenuo on Cuming , and the cable line ou Dodge , solves the transpor tation problem for the residents of this favored section. Several transfers of valuable property nlong the proposed boule vard are pending , und the attention of deal ers will bo In the maiti directed toward this porttsn of the city , for a time ut least.

The situ ation In the northwest Is belter than It has been for any time , however , and that is accepted ns an offset. Texas reports that the harvest has commenced , and some where In southern Kansas they are sala to Imvo commenced cutting wheat. This Is probably n llttlo premature. Heavy rains fell In Texas yesterday , and It has boon rain- \I\K \ moro than absolutely necessary In Kan sas. This fact has started alarmists to talk ing about the possibilities of "wet harvest , " Nothing transpired of sufficient Importance , however , to put live Into the market. Wheat diet not stand up as It did yesterday It could barely sit up. Many of the local boars put out now lines , and many of the buyers of yes terday ran at the prospects of fractional loss. Hutchlnson was "on top" of the market nil day. July wheat sold off to 70 } < e. and December to bc , n shrinkage of nearly I cunt.

As com pared with yesterday they record an average loss of % o to > c. The tone at the end was that of weaiciioss. The trading In corn was fairly active , but the fooling was very depressed all day , and prices suffered a severe decline in all posi tions.

The market , to-day , though lightly supplied , ruled "draprgy" and weak , owing to the fact that buyers filled all their this wccit's orders before the finish of yesterday's trade. The dressed beef men , eastern shippers and operators would only entertain au offer when the holders agreed to concede a dcclino of lOc , or a sufficient re duction , at least , to take the chances of carrying over until the arrival of-Monday's instructions. As a result sellers were forced to look up and hold over several ripe droves of good 1800 to 1500 pound beoves. The few native cows uiulTjulls on sala found an out let nt steady prices. Of Texans there were about twenty-eight loads , mostly late yester day's arrivals. Sales show a steady market. The stocker and feeder market ruled dull , with about 800 head carried over.

FOREIGN MARKETS UNCHANGED. Only Ilotnil Lumbermen nml Mnnu > faclurors Asklntr Ijonna Uttlla On Top In Wall Street. Trmlo Over the Country. CHICAGO , May CO. [ Special Telegram to THE Hr.n.1 The money market Is assuming n condition of quietude usual to the near approach preach of summer ; and , ns a natural consequence quence , the volume of impor offering for discount at the banks is gradually lessoning. The most marked diminution Is nt the in stitutions whoso business mainly comes from the operators' in grata , provisions nnd farm products , the shipping demand for which Is too close to arrivals to allow of accumula tions. In fact there is no paper malting by grain and provision dealers except In the way of renewals , nud there Is llttlo of that. The demand from the largo Jobbers In mer chandise Is also decreasing , as the Interior retailers liquidate early spring bills ; and nbout the only clas of business that requires the usual amount of assistance is the retail lumber and the manufacturing interests wherein liberal amounts are being absorbed In the purchase of stock. The calls from the latter , however , are partly , If not entirely , offset by the cancellation of the obligations of the lumbermen who have borrowed heav ily during winter , when they were piling up Iogs-tho product of which they nro now re alizing on. The llmltod character of the de mand for money , compared with the supply , causes nn easy loan inarKot nt 4T(5 ( per cent on call on paper , backed by fane y collaterals , nnd 5 > @ 7 per cent for thno paper , bulk of the latter ruling nt ( ) @ 7 per cent. Money at the eastern seaboard continues abundant , nnd rates nro easy on call at 2@1 > per cent , and time paper at f > @ 7 per cent. Advices from foreign markets indicated no particu lar changes In that quarter. The market for Now Y6rk exchange was quiet , and rates wera steady nt 50@70c premium per $1,000. The offerings were not largo and the demand , most of the time , not of suniciont magnitude to cause special comment. Foreign exchange was of fered with more freedom , especially during the latter part of the week , nud an easier feeling developed , but rates did not decline. Documentary hills on London sold at f4.SU@ 4.bU } < and closed steady. The bull feeling which prevailed Wall street during the pre vious week was continued with increased force dnring the one Just closed , nnd while advances In specialties were not so marked they were moro general. There was nlso a larger number of stocks traded In , nud the volume of business showed a decided increase , the sales averaging over 340,000 shares per day. The outside public who have not been known in the market for months , come in freely , and seme commis sion houses had moro business in one day than they received in a week , during the re cent dullness. The increased buying came chielly from the west. Operators hi that section who have been bearish , were cover ing their shorts , and going long. Oregon Transcontinental went skyward ou Saturday and udvanccd 20 points after the books closed. This was duo to the covering by shorts , but after they had obtained suOl- cicnt amounts , prices receded as radldly as they had previously advanced , and about all the appreciation was lost. Northern Pacifies were next taken up and ad vanced 4 points , with large trading. After the Villards had been boomed , attention turned to gas trusts , sugar trusts , lead trusts , and the granger properties. * Gas trusts were bought heavily on anticipation that the quo warranto proceedings against them in Chicago cage would bo decided in their favor , and prices advanced three points. A heavy realizing by insiders caused a moderate reac tion , but a belief existed that a 2 per cent dividend will soon bo declared. Load trusts advanced on a report that St. Louis refiners would outer a combine , and sugar trusts were bought because its earnings are largo. Granger stocks came to the front with St. Paul in the load. The continued line crop prospects uavo induced many heretofore skeptical operators to invest heavily under the impression that the road's earnings will soon bo heavy. St. Paul gained 0 points nnd sold higher than at any tuna since last September. Chicago , Burlington & Qulncy was helped up over 3 points by a declaration of a 1 per cent dividend. Northwestern , while following the other western stocks in their upward course , was handicapped by a decrease of $117,000 in tbo gross earnings for Aoril. Atcbison , Missouri Pacilio and Union Pacific wore traded in freely and moved up 2 to 3 points. A free realizing on extreme advances caused moderate reac tions , but the close was steady , with 'good gains over the last sales of the preceding week. The total sales were 2.200,270 shares. The leading produce markets exhibited considerable speculative activity during the week just closed , and thu shipping branch of the trade attracted more than usual atten tion. The undertone of the markets indi cated a weak nnd unsettled "fooling , and prices for many of the leaning articles de clined materially. The outlook for the in-ow ing crops was regarded us qulto favorable for a good yield of all kinds , and this feature bus stimulated the movement of grain to the central markets , especially of corn and oats , nnd reports from the interior indicate a rather free movement to the smaller sta tions. Tlio receipts of live stock were uiod- eratclv free , of all kinds , though not qulto us liberal as during the wcok piuvious. The shipments of grain and provisions eastward were quite liberal , tbo former largely by the lake route , and included considerable corn and outs for distribution through the New England states nnd Canada. A fair proportion of provisions were destined to foreign markets. Advices from abroad were less favorable to sellers , duo to the good out look. for growing craps , and rather liberal supplies of all kinds being received fromlirst hands. The stock * of grain in foreign coun tries are reported as moderately largo for the season of ttio year. Tli4 stocks in the leading markets of this country are gradually diminishing , and the prospects are that the new craps will bo reached with sinullt-r supplies than usual. Farmers are through with their spring work in most sections of the west ; the weather has been cooler than heretofore in some sections and some frost has appeared , which has damaged the crops to some extent. Provisions have showed moro unsteadiness during the week , with prices moro favorable to buyers. The packing of the west for the week ohowed a further increase. Seeds biivo beou active , wltu prices favoring buyers. Sam Small's sermons seem to give thu Al mighty Hccond piuoo with Sam Siiutll.
