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.

Sugar Is very firm , owing to the bad crop
prospects. 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.

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 market was attain bare of sheep. The
dnmand Is good nnd the packers want sheep ,
but none nro coming.

These real estate dealers nro locg hoadod.
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 real estate transactions for the past
week have been confined to outside prop-
ortv. Among the important deals were the
follows :

There have not been ns many permits for
building in May ns there were last month ,
but a decided improvement is noticed In the
class of buildings that are going up. During
the month u majority of the permits have
boon taken out by men who own the prop
erty to bo Improved nnd are building homes

Tun UKR.1 The wheat market was Hat nnd
uninteresting to-day , mid prlooa , averaged
lower than yesterday , the remote futures
suffering moil. The opening quotations In *
dlontcd some strength at u slight Improve
ment over yesterday's close , trades being on
n basis of 7 * > tfc for July nnd 7"iX ° for Do *
comber. Cables were not particularly en
couraging and seaboard advices word col
ored bonrlshly as n rule. Tim orop report In
the Tribune was taken us au Indication of
generally fuvorablo prospoo ts , though tbo
conditions nro admittedly less brilllantlntho
Ohio valley , on both sides of the rlvor , than
they were thirty days ago. 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. The market recovered somewhat from
thu depression and July advanced to . "OK ®
77c ; December displayed loss buoyancy , i or
the bettor part oftwo years July has clung
close to 70Xe ; sometimes it would go up a
fr.ictlon ana sometimes go off u fraction , but
lOJjjd was the market. The closing scenes
were exceedingly tame. The last prices
wore us follows : Juno , 81c : July , 70 c ;
September , 74o ; December , 75 ; o. 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. Near-by and remote deliveries , and
likewise the cash market , were allko berne
down by the weight of the offerings. The
prices since tbo close on Friday show a loss
of % c lu nil active deliveries.

as anticipated and the estimate for next
Monday was heavy , which exerted n weak

CHICAGO tilVB STOCK. MARKET.
Cuicuao. May 25. [ Special Telegram to
THE Bnn.l CATTLE. 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. Choice
to extra beeves brought 53.00@4.20 ; medium
to good steers , 1350 10 1500 Ibs , 53.00@4.00 :

Hens Tlio market , this morning , was
opened by speculators who paid , generally ,
$4.00 for good quality droves. When the
puckers and shippers got to work $4.50@4.55
was the only basis upon which they would
operate , though a few loads were taken by
some of .them at 84.00 ; still later , $4.47 > < f(3 (

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.
