The 1'lnnnolnl Situation.
Financial n fin Irs are quiet nnd monotonous.
Money Is easy nnd thoro'is n fair demand
from Jobbers nnd manufacturers , who nro
readily taken en re of It the names nro right.
Thj ( opinion scorns to bo , howovcr , that n
tighter nmrltct may , come before iho end of
the summer , though tbero can not bo any
great stringency. The country will wnnt
money nfter n whlto for crop purposes , and
balances \ylll decrease. The clearings for
the week amounted to { 5,243.100.80 , nn in
crease of 43.04-JOO per cent over the same
week of last year. Balances footed $1,430-
45I.SSO.
Money is easy all ever the country. Call
money is quoted In Now York city nt nu
overage of 2 > f per cent , while prime mer
cantile paper Is placed al M@ ' > K l'er ' cont-
slxly lo ninety days for the former rate nud
four to six months for the latlor. The clear
ings of nil the cities of the union for May
were f S3,2. > 01000 In excess of May , 1889 , and
the Commercial Chronicle attribute * the
largo Increase in the footings lo Iho fact that
there has been sent to market n crop ot ever
Bovon million bales of cotton , two thousand
million bushels of corn , with iron , coal , tox-
tllo fabrics nnd n mineral output of largo
amount , showing Unit our production Is In
creasing and that wo nro growing to bo n
very rich country ovon.it trade is apparently
dull.

The pnbllo debt statement shows , at the
close of business May .11 : Total debt ,

items available for reduction nnd reserve

Tr Bank of Omaha has filed its state
ment of assets and liabilities with the
county clerk , and It Is considered n very
lame ono In financial circles , ns
most of the surplus assets consist
of unproductive und unsalable real cslalc
nnd wonder is expressed as lo how nnd why
Ihoy got so much farm land no qulctcly. The
ilrst meeting of thu creditors is likely to bo a
stormy ono , and It Is broadly intimated Hint
the stale's attorney tuny bo culled In at the
close.
General trade Is somewhat lethargic and
will grow moro so as wo approach the dog
days. Still jobbers sny trade' Is not bad and
there is n fair movement in most lines.
Prices are ntoady and sugar continues to ad
vance granulated Is worth 9H@Ntei and may
go much higher , as it is merely n
matter of conscience with ibo
Irust which has demonstrated its ability to
put it where it pleases. Canned goods are
aulot. Jobbers look packers' product In advance -
vance last year and carried It at something
of a loss , and tills year they said they would
lot Iho ( tanners bear Iho burden , which does
not suit the cnnner so well ns the other way.
Turn nbout Is fair piny , however. The offi
cers of thn Bank ot Commerce have talked
of.loc.itlng a branch on South Thirtconth
street , but nothing definite has been derided
upon.
The produce markets nro well supplied and
perishable RtulT Is somewhat lower on ac
count of warm weather , but shipments have
been quickly taken nnd quotations are firm.
Lemons nnd oranges have advanced and are
very flrm. Butter Is steady and In good de
mand , and eggs are inclined to advance.
City tl'ado and collections arc dull.

The entries of foreign merctmndlsu at New
York during May exceeded last year's
figures for thu corresponding month , both In

The lire loss of the United States and Can
u ada for the mouth of May. compiled by the
S' '
1 Now York Commercial Bulletin , reachml n
1n total of nearly 810,000.000 , or $700.000 in ox-
cnsn of the losses for Maj' , 1SS8. The losses
for the Jlrst flvo months of 1SJ89 aggregate
830,513,000 , ugalnst $57,060,450 for tha sauio
period last year.
Refiners have made another advance In
sugar nnd the prices ere now on the basis ot
Do to 9 > i"o per pound for granulated. The
rapid advance does not appear to check the
demand , as tha boom has coma at a tlmu
when sugar must bo had In largo quantities
for preserving purposes. The enhanced cost
is a serious matter to fruit preservers , and
thaso who have nmdu contracts for autumn
delivery will find their profits lessened if
they have not Improved tbo tlmo to pur-
clmso sugar when It was cheaper ,
In too many cases glucosa und "pat
ent sweetener" will probably bo used ,
and the fact that the sale of the latlor article
lias boon prohibited In portions of Europe in
con 0uenco ( of its use being injurious to
honlth will hardly servo to check its use In
this country. The season for the packing of
fruit extends xvoll Into the autumn ; hence
the demand fur sugar , it is expected , will ho
liberal and steady , though possibly lower
prices may bo brought about bufnro that
tlmo by a chaiigo In the position ot thn raw
urtlulo.

THE BEE. j Tbo wheat market WAS strung
nnd active on n somewhat hltcher basfs than
yesterday. The shorts continue to bo the
best buyers and on every pause. In the ad-
X'anclng course of prices they conclude that
"tho boom has spent Iteelf , " and that tre
acling is In order. Tha market has , thus
far , failed to react , thus - ex
pectations nnd giving the bulls f res U reason
to hope that the situation is on the mend.
The weather conditions seem to bo rather
moro favorable. The skies nro clearing up
in the southwest , and showers in tho. north
west nro doing some good. Not nearly
enough rain has fallen In Daicota nnd Minnesota
seta ; but what has fallen helps. As to
the crop situation la Europe , opinions and
news nro radically contradicting ; the gen
erality of correspondence , mall nnd tele
graphic , confirms what has previously been
said on the subject of damage to the Husslan
crops , but Wlllum Dunn cables that ho is
bearish , and adds : "Tho weather In Russia
Is Improving. Heavy stocks of wheat there.
Prospects of largo crops in western Europe.
Weather hot and forcing. " The market
cables indicate improving prices on the con
tinent and in ttio United Kingdom. This is
true , not only as to wheat , but particularly
with regard to flour. Considerable now
business in flour is reported by local and
Now York parties nt materially bettor prices.
The millers and Hour men are accordingly
asking bettor prices , and feeling n.ultQ4lndo-
pendont. The light stocks of wheat nro every
where attracting attention. EvcnBradstrcct'a
paper , whoso mission it is to work Into the
hands of foreign bears on American prod
ucts , is o'bllgcd to admit a vast difference be
tween the supplies now and on the corresponding
spending dates of the previous years. Tlio
cash wheat markets continue to bo qulto as
strong as any of the futures in every market
in the country. In St. Louts , Juno wheat
took a jump , and hero the price advanced l }
cents nud closed considerably higher than
yesterday. Now York Is flrm. but not
higher. The visible supply will show a do-
creasoofut least 1,033,033 bushels , and pos
sibly 1,500,000 bushels for the woek. At the
opening the trades wor.5 shaky hero , this
morniug , at TSJ o for July : and the first
official quotation for December was 73 u.
December broke right off , however , and sold
down to 77 e , and afterwards to 77l c.
This delivery was wealc all day.
July , on the contrary , ranged irom 78 c
to 7Dc , and closed at 79c. Several times it
showed signs of weakness and started down ,
as though the bullishness was all out of the
market , but good buying turned the price UD
again , and the average price was 7Uc. The
market seemed to bu "pegged" around that
price , and Hutchinson was credited with being -
ing the best and heaviest buyer , with Pard-
ridge and some of the other local shorts good
seconds , and foreigners clpoo behind. Xhero
has been enormous covering of short wtieat
hare , during the last few days. The sudden
distrust seems to have overtaken some of
the moro phlegmatic nmoug the boars , but
they haVe no fear of December , and that de
livery went to still greater discount , to-day ,
by reason of their selling. This very unan
imity in the operations of foreigners and
local professionals , is looked upon by some
ns a source of danger. The selling
of wheat for December delivnry is unques
tionably very popular at this stage. Those
who ilka to go with the crowd find plenty of
good company in the shorts in December.
The close on the active list was as follows :
Juno81c , July 79c. September 75J c , Decem
ber 77 0. This is % c gain In Juno , % o to J o
in July , * c loss in September , nnd no chaugo
in December. Tno nggregato volume of
trade was largo.
The opening price for July corn was 34J c ,
which was also the closing figure ycstordav.
It advanced to 34s'34Kc , and closed at 31 %
@Mc , covering an improvement of l c ,
and Juno made the same fractional advance
over Friday's closing quotations.
Though dull , the market for oats was
stronger , with some sales at % ® Xc advance.
The offerings were not largo and a few buyIng -
Ing orders were noted , \vith considerable
changing in the way of selling July and buy
ing ScDtombornt cpromiuui fortho former.
That month sold up to 2233 ? c , with a

ono tlmo paid. No. 2 to go to store sold
sparingly at 22c or % a bettor , and the with
drawals were increased to 240,077 bushels.
Provision traders were favored with a
comparatively steady inarltot. Early in th'o
day there was a Httlo disposition to boar the
prices , but the breaks forced brought out
unexpectedly good buying , and the depres
sions witnessed wore shortlived. The fluc
tuations wcro also covered , apparently ,
though trade acted as though there was lit-
tla moro doing on outsldo account. Baldwin
led the pit by the amount of his purchases.

How Money Itulos Generally ,
CHICAGO , Juno 15. [ Special Telegram to
Tins Hnb.1-Thoro nro few changes to record
it ) local mouolary affairs slnco the close ot
the preceding wook. Bankers report a good
early Summer uvorago of business , and there
ia a fair weekly gain over the corresponding
tlmo last year. The demand for discounts
froin borrowers representing miscellaneous
branches of business also continues fair , nnd
white-It is not sUnioiQiit to prevent a gradual
accumulation of loanable funds at the banks ,
It is equal to the anticipation of bankers ,
nnd , in BOtno'cascs , there is a ilrmor feeling.
About all the cheap money that was offered
nt 4 per cent , 'd week or so ago , has boon ab
sorbed by partlos who are carrying stocks
and bonds , and the bankers ns a rule now
nnmo 4 > @ 5 per cent as the lowcsl call rate.
Thirty day paper , backed by gilt-edged
names nnd collaterals , bring n ) @ 7 per cent ,
and occasionally loans are at 7KGJ3 per cent ,
to small customers who may bo classed as
steady borrowers , because thoy. need moro
or less assUtanco all the year around , nnd
seldom , It Bvor < pay higher rates when
money is in quick demand from largo nnd do-
slrublo borrowers ot the same rate. On the
stroi , money Is loaned at 4@7 per cent , busi
ness paper usually bringing 5@7 per cont.
The increased employment of funds in stock
speculation has slightly hardened ratoa for
money at Now York. The wool Irado nt
Boston is. also absorbing an increased vol
ume of money , but , ns yet , the advance in
rates for loans has boon slight
Now York exchange was offered moro
freely , and the demand being loss urgent , u
weaker feeling prevailed. Sales ranged at
par to OOc premium per $1,000 , and closed at
par. Foreign exchange was in hotter supply
during the opening days and a weaker fool
ing was developed. Rates receded > / per
cent , later , became firmer , and the decline
was regained. Documentary sterling on
London ranged at Sl.SSJfQl.SO , and closed
at tbo inside.
The jobbing trade shows a moderate ani
mation in the way of filling small orders lo
supply the pressing wants of'consumers and
retailors. Sugars are meeting with an In
creased demand , and are firmly hold. Cof
fees remain steady. The distribution ot
other merchandise was fair and nbout up to
the average at this time last year.
The Now York stock market , although
fairly active aud with dealings at
times exceedingly heavy , developed a
decidedly unsettled feeling , which
resulted in frequent and sharp fluctuations.
The news from the west regarding the crops
was not of the same reassuring nature as
during Iho preceding weeks and induced a
heavy realizing in grangers ; St. Paul was
Iho favorite of this group aud the trading
was heavy. Prices advanced but a free
realizing on every improvement , not only
only by professionals but nlso by foreign
traders , causing recessions. Northwestern
broke throe points on tbo same cause , but
reacted slightly. The securities attracting
the mosT.allontion were the trusls , especially
, Sugar and Lead. The buying of ttio former
was the heaviest of any stock on tha list , and
nn ndvnnco ot 5 points was recorded , but not
fully maintained. Tiio report that It has a
lartro cash surplus in its treasury was the
chief cause for the buying , and operators nro
prodjcting still higher prices. Load trusts
advanced moderately , but under excessively
largo selling , by parties having
good profits In their holdings ,
a reaction followed that carried
prices down. Now England came in for
moro attention , ana appreciated 5 points on
the information that something of great Im
port nnco was about to transpire that would
materially benefit it. Coalers wore unus
ually activo. The advanced prices for coal
and reports that a coal trust was nbout to bo
formed , induced free buying by the specula
tors in general , and rcsul'.ed in gams ex
tending to 7 point * , the latter being on Jer
sey Central which has been quietly
advancing for ever a week.
The closing prices , compared with
those of the previous wceic showed the
grangers all lower coalers 1J to 4 points
higher , Gas trusts IJjfo lower , Sugar trusls
S } u higher , and Lead trusts % c higher.
Bonds were active , and the favorite issues
wore readily absorbed and a llrm feeling pre
vailed. The loading produce markets exhib
ited considerable acilvlly during the week
just closed. Outside parties forwarded fair
orders , but the bulk of business was credited
to local speculators. In the grain
market the changes In prices
were slight and rather more
favorable to the sellers. The "short" in
terest purcnased BUfllcient quantities to oven
up a good proportion of their trades , and
wan some Inquiry on investment account
from parties who bolfovo the property Is
worth the present price , oven in the event of
unusually largo crops being harvested. Tha
weather has boon moro summer-like , and
favorable to growing crops. Complaints
uro made of crop damage in BO mo
sections by drouth , too much rain ,
or by insects , but they are mainly
local , The outlook , in a general way
Is not regarded as good as reported u few
weeks ago , yet the prospects ere fayorablo ,
so far , for lartre crops. The stocks of lead
ing cereals nro Doing reduced , gradually ,
with tbo exception of corn , and Iho move
ment to smaller stations and cenlral markets
has not boon quite go free. Shipments of
corn und oats to tha sonbnard markets were
llbyrult mainly by the lake routo. Quito
largo" quantities were nlso for
warded tp Canadian Markets and
the interior towns of the eastern and
mlddla states. The export movement was
light , except of corn and provisions. Ad
vices from abroad indicated little life in the
loading markets. The crop reports were
Bomowhat conflicting and ratnor favorable In
western Europe , but the prospects were
somewhat discouraging in tbo eastern per
tion. Prices In that quarter inclined in favor
of buyers. The supplies abroad are mod
erately largo , and are decreasing very1
slowly. The government crop report for
Juno indicated rather n high average for all
the loading cereals , but botlor than lost year ,
excepting fpr oats.
Provision * hnvo ruled easier for specula
tive articles , but descriptions required for
Immediate wants have ruled higher. The
farmers are forwarding cattle , hogs and
sheep to the market very freely , iho arrivals
being liberal at all iho western cllies. The
packing of tlio west for tbo week shows a
further increase in the number of hogs
slaughtered , and the good quality IB well
maintained. Seeds have boon very quiet and
prices exhibited but little change.

"Do you know thorc-r.Fo 600 people tn

Bald tin agent of a great supply house

perhaps as many moro who are engaged
in the business to a considerable extent ,
but not enough to attract attention.

"will ( It them for dealing successfully
with tlio world in all its phases.
There are people walking the streets
of Council Bluff and Omalm to-day
knocking nt our doors who , will bo the
magnates of trade , the barons ot finance
In the future. . Peculiar qualifications
are required for the successful agent ,
nnd the young man or woumh who does
not possess thorn readily discovers the
fact and vocotvos such poor oncoimigo-
mont that the business. Is soon aban
doned nnd something pnoson that re
quires loss montnl activity aud shrewd
ness.
"What are the qualifications of agood
agouti1 A BolNroiinnt boldness that will
ring n front doorbell. I am acquainted
with a Council Bluffs man who dropped
a penny in n , store ono day nnd in his
anxiety to find it ho extended his search
to such nn extent that the proprietor
gave him a cent to disundo him from
further disturbance of his merchandise
The gentleman , who is said to bo worth
moro than $100,000 , has only ono living
near relative , nccoptod the penny with
the observation that cents make dollars
and lie presumed the merchant would
IIml the ono lost. Now such n man as
that wouldn't make n good agent.
"A somewhat similar trnlt of charac
ter was mnnitestod recently by a young
man who wrote mo that ho was working
hard for 85 per wook. His latter indi
cated that ho had moro than an ordi
nary degree of education und ability
for correspondence. Ho was a married
man , able to satisfy any person of his
faithful attention to work , and also as
to his integrity and ability. Hisoxcuso
for remaining in his present position
was that ho had an "all your round job"
n certainty , and that thuro were but
few such to bo obtained in his town.
Such 11 certainty as 'this young man en
joys is , in my opinion , worse than noth
ing to a person of good health and ordi
nary energy. I believe the young man
has hold on to his certainty for four
years now. It is a waste Of life to work
thus ; the longer a man remains the
worse off ho is.
There are some people whoso nature
it is to bo dependent upon others , and
some so moan that they must absolutely
get hold of $2 with ono hand before
they .lot go with the other. Those arc
deformities of nature or training which
llio canvassing business will do moro to
correct than anything else on earth. I
wish I could impress upon every young
man the fact that those who dopcnd
upon others can never riao to positions
L lint command attention ; that you can
hold a good salaried position all your
life and never gain fame or wealth ;
you will never be able to obtain that
strength of mind , power ever men , nnd
the ability that comes with experience ,
to grasp opportunities and build a busi
ness that will bo a monument of glory
to you and your descendant's. Khegan ,
a Persian philosopher , said , 700 years
ago : "Why should a man who pos
sesses a piece of bread securing life for
two days and n cup of water why
should suuh a man servo another ? "
Colonel Ingersoll says , in ono of his
speeches : "Young men should not bo
satisfied with a salary. Do not mort
gage the possibilities of your futuro.
Have courage to take life as it comes.
Think of hunting a gold mine for a
dollar a day for another man. How
would you feel if you found ono ? " Gar-
Hold said : "Nino times out of ton the
best thing that can happen to a young
man is to bo tossed overboard ana com
pelled to swim' . In all my experience I
Clover knew a man to bo drowned who
was worth saving. "
The young man who is bound to make
something of himself and has both capi
tal and experience lo gain will 11 nd in
the canvassing business of to-day a
grand opening for himself u chance to
do business lor himself and got all he
can earn. ITo will enter it with the de
termination of being respectable and
making his business respectable. He
will enter it and stick to it after ho
makes it a success and not give it up for
the first clerkship that ofTora. Ho will
lay the foundation of his fortune at the
doors of all classes of people in the
world , and when ho ontora business for
himself ho will know moro about people
plo and how to handle them than the
best college bred young man. Ho will
gain judgment , decision , self-reliance ,
thu power to act , nnd to win for him
self the position ho merits. Let your
ogotifiticnl young man who possesses
little knowledge enter the law or the
ministry , but don't let him suppose ho
would make an ideal canvasser.
I am in a position to know , and I am
sure I do not cxngorato when I say that
one-third of all the goods retailed in
Council BlulTs and Omaha are sold by
canvassers. Whether it bo a good or
evil thing people may oa well look npon
it ns something that has come to stay ,
and libido from being the best school in
existence for the graduation of a strong
and self-reliant class of men nnd women
I bolie'vo it to bo the means of making
fortunes.
I know a young man who worked in
an upper Broadway store for ton years
at $40 per month , and ho was not a
green young man either , and when ho
lost his position two years ngo ho wni
driven to the voVgo of desperation. He
stopped at the canvassing business , and
now he is making by the sale of asohool
chart from $300 to & 300 per month.
Council BlutTs and Omaha on account
of their twin relationship and their
thrift oiler an inviting field for the can
vasser , and this perhaps , accounts for
the largo number hero , The number
will increase rather than diminish as
the years rcvll on. I believe the time
will coni3'.thon wo will buy everything
wo oat , drink or wear from tlio canvass
er at our doors , and when only ware
houses will bo used in which to 8to.ro
goods , instead of expensively fitted up
stores in which to soil thorn , the era of
cheap prices will bu inaugurated. Then
the canvasser will be u well dressed
man or a tashionably attired woman , of
good habits , good address , n'-ways i > -
litoof more than ordinary intolliganco ,
and people whom you delight to moot
and esteem it an honor to deal with.
Then will bo realized the highest bless
ings of civilization and the luxury of
the world's best markets will bo dis
played in our drawing rooma. "

"Tho best thing that has hopponod to

dealer who has boon work I MR for the union 4i

the Union Pnctlla road In ahuttinjr out the i
Milwaukee road from entering Omaha. Tha
offer of the Union Pnclliu was BO
outrageously exorbitant that It would
moan practical confiscation for the Milwaukee
to accept it. There nro n lot of men In ,
Omaha , men , too , who nro voted as sensible

along hero for years under the Impression
that the Union Pacific is the only road In ex

will bo rude , but It has long been desired.
The committee which has boon working on

"This 'movement for a mooting ottho mer
