The local money market continues easy , but thcro is a smaller surplus in bankers' hands available for loans than nt any tlmo during the past three weeks. The market is not nt nil stringent , but tbcro is n tendency to closeness , llatos arc , ns usual , 8 © 10 per cent per annum for prlmo mercantile paper. Exchange is $1 nor thousand premium. Gen eral trade is Bouiovfhai quiet , with n very fair movement in staple groceries nnd dry goods , nnd additional activity noticeable In hardware. Lumber Is inactive and unset tled owing chiefly to the fact that the now tariff based on 13c per hundred pounds from Ohlcngo to Omahn , ROCS into effect Juno t5 ! , When n now prlco list will bo mndo. The produce markets nro lively nnd receipts of Butter and eggs nro liberal , with a good demand , However , packers showing Willingness to take all offered , but inclined to ask for concessions on butter because of the poor quality of receipts. Collections are good and seem to improve nil the time , show- lag that the country is In good shape and able to pay its bills , nnd with the enormous crops in sight the prospect for n heavy fall trade is very encouraging. Trade in the city is dull nnd collections are alow , but better times nro looked for as the season advances , nd municipal improvements are begun and money is disbursed for wages. The an nouncement that the Omaha banking com pany had decided to retire from business rather than submit to the environment of the restrictions proposed by tbo now banking law wns not unexpected , nnd satisfaction wns freely expressed iu com mercial ami banking circles thereat. If n few more real estate speculators will close up in the same way it Will bo better for the unsophisticated in financial ways. There appears to bo contemplated n general exodus of Jobbers nnd manufacturers from Douglas street to the streets further south , the CanBold Manufacturing company has se cured quarters in the Bomls Bag company's building. M. E. Smith & Co. are nego tiating for the double corner store in the Fred K. Amos block , to be erected nt Eleventh and Howard streets. Schneider & Loomls talk of leasing -the adjoining store room on the west. Farrell & Co. will soon remove to their new quarters , now building on Eighth street. Williams , Van Ac mam & Hart uro negotiating for ono of the stores in Colonel H. W. Cromer's now block on Hnrno.v , west of Twelfth street , and Wodoles & Co. , lent tobacconists , nro seoklnc quar ters in the same locality , so that it would appear that the building to bo erected by TJuclo Sam on the Planters' house block Will look somewhat lonesome when finished. The wholesale grocers of Omaha are credited with having mndo nbout ? S5,000 extraordinary profits on sugar during the past sixty duys , und may make still moro before the break comes. The clearings for thn past week , ns re ported by Mr. Hughes , manager of the Clcarinc house , footed 84,507M4.00. ! nn increase - crease of 82 4-10 per cent. Balances were 359a40.GS. The surar supply being controlled by the monopoly known ns tbo trust prices nro Used at highly remunerative figures , nnd the money comes rolling In , ns the duty levied by the government gives the ring n good opportunity to compel the people to pay trlb , uto. In n little moro than three months sugar trust certificates have risen about 25 cents until they soil around 110 , having in that tlmo bccomo ono of the most active securities dealt in on the New York stock exchange. Thcro have been paid thus far flvo dividends , amounting to 10 per cent , in 1888 , aim 2 > per cent in 18S9 , with an extra Block dividend of 8 per cent. Tbo next regular dividend , July 1 , is expected to bo 2X i. per cent or possibly a per cent. Willott & it Hnmlln , sugar brokers , say in their clrcu- , lar : "Tho Sugar Koflnorles company have in stock nnd secured for shipment probably 150,000 tons ot raw sugar , the proUt on which may bo safely averaged nt lo per Ib , plus % o per Ib not refining profit , or say 1,775,000' , which , added to the 53,230.000 profits already secured , gives $13,000,000 vir tually in hand , or say over S2o per share on the 850,000,000 certificates , to which amount wo understand the stock is limited. " Sugar was bought to nn enormous extent By wholesale grocers when prices were con siderably lower than they are now. nnd nt the present time they hold the biggest stocks over known. As the demand from the in terior continues very largo , they are profitIng - Ing handsomely by the ndvanced prices , Wlilch are tlriuly maintained. The active demand for straight sugar syr ups has reduced the stock in first hands very * largely. Upward ot 7,000 bbls have lately . > boon sold at Now York , leaving tbo supply 'I ' extremely small. Ono firm is reported to I' have sold their entire Juno product to a job- . < ber. with orders for 3,000 bbls moro from ex- Ih porters , nnd Havomoyor & Elder and the i Brooklyn refinery nro said to have disposed mj of their outfit for tbo remainder of this ' month to foreign buyers. K Rio coffee Is weakening , owing to o gcn- K oral selling by speculative-holders. Supplies It are bountiful everywhere , nnd crop prospects 1 are good.

After a xyook of domoraluatlou the cattle faorkut showed some Improvement to-day. f ho surplus has boon pretty well cleared up xt eastern poinU , nnd a moro confident feei ng Is prevalent in all branches of the trado. The market hero was stronger and in some uses 5o lnelior on dcslramo hooves. A bunch of holdovorn sold lOo blghor than was offered for thorn yesterday. Hoof and ship ping steers sold largely at $3.23@3.0. > , but largely at $3.03@.1.80. Butchers' stock was scarce nnd tlioro were only a few odds nnd ends , and nothing very good.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS , An Off Day Exporlonood In the Wheat Pit , JUNE THE MOST CONSPICUOUS. Corn Sliorts Show Their Anxiety by Advancing the Price Provisions Again Show Strength Cat tle All Hold. CHICAGO PnODUCE SIAUIUSXB. CIIIOAOO , Juno 33. [ Special Telegram to THE BnB.j This was an off day In whoat. Itvas Saturday , and Derby day as woll. News was a scarce article , nnd the weather xvas bearish so far ns It exerted any Influ ence. In the southwest the weather Is re ported ns clearing up beautifully , to the great delight of the wheat raisers , and the harvest returns are coming in better every hour. Ra- ports from the northwest nro generally en couraging slnco the rain , but private corres pondence Is still full of statements of damage done before the rains fell. Cables were bet ter , and ono from the board of trade's own correspondent , lu London , was particularly bullish In Its rooort of the condition ot crops in Kussfa and Hungary. Foreign markets are firm without being appreciatively higher , and Now York reports that there are foreign buying ardors for considerable lines "closo to the market. " If those orders were very close to the market , business ought to have resulted , as the course of values favored buyers much of the time. The do- cllno was not largo , but coming as it does , after four or flvo days bulling , with the weather indications. for the next soventy-two hours all that could bo desired , it is not without signtUcanco. It indicates to a certain degree the develop ment of that complulnt known as "bull fa tigue. " The most conspicuous weakness to day was m Juno wheat. The not decline in futures averaged about /c , except in Decem ber , which actually gained ) c. The initial prices were : Juno 70)fc , July 78J.fc , Sep tember 75 c and December 7T3 e. Juno got no higher , but July bulled to 73Kf @ 78 c , September to 75J e and declined to 77j c. This was the top. The tendency from near the beginning was weak , judging from the popular feeling , but Hutchlnson , "in his favorite role of obstructionist , " ns a veteran trader put It , turned up to-day as the princi pal buyer , nnd "tlio crowd" had to contend against him all day. Ho bought the market up and aown. Commission houses had a great many selling orders to-day , particu larly these having southwestern connec tions. The brightening harvest prospects in Missouri and Kansas nro engendering a bearish sentiment in that quarter. Local operators as a rule nro similarly Influenced , and very few bulls were feellngat all aggres sive to-dav , although they maintain a sturdy front and theorize that with so many acci dents yet possible and with stocks so very small , the chances must continue to favor the long sldo for some weeks to come. To this sort of preaching tiro'philosophical bear replies that It is bad policy to borrow trouble on account of crops or anything also , or to speculate on a possible calamity , nature leaning the other way ; The market do- veloncd marked stubbarnoss during the last half hour , nnd prices worked up consider ably. From 79c Juno advanced to 79 c. July , which had settled back to 77) ) 0 , moved to 77 fc and closed there. September ranged at 7570 and closed nt ? 5a. December sold down to 77c ana up to 7 % c , where it rested. It will bo seen that July nnd Decem ber nre again getting tocet her. The volume of trade was rather below than above the average. The anxiety of the corn shorts was ngnin visible in n further slight ndvnrico m to-day's market , prices ruling firm and higher during1 tno cntlro day. The recelnts continue to run light , nnd tbo shipping demand and outward movement nro active and heavy. Exporters are free buyers at the seaboard , as they have boon during the entire season , and oicht and one-half boat loads were taken by them thcro to-day. The clearances from the seaboard were not heavy yesterday , which is not significant , as the daily out goings are dependent upon the fluctuating supply of freight room. ' Domestic markets were steady to firm , 'but without special feature otherwise. For Monday receipts of 300 cars nro looked for , and n decrease in the visible supply. The same ttesiro to transfer July deals into September which was observed yesterday' was again a feature to-day. The closinc prices show a gain since yesterday's close of from c to > fc. Oats were dull , but fully steady , in sym pathy with corn , and under only moderate receipts , while withdrawals from local stocks ( continued liberal. There was little desire to trade with most of the busi ness in July , which sold at 2273c , while the two following months were quiet nround 23Xc. Less than recent Interest was shown m deliveries as far removed as May , though that month hovered uround 20c. The inquiry for car lots to go to store was unimportant , with quotations nt2ac , while most of the trading in cash oats was by sample. Provision traders enjoyed another strong market. Another upward turn In the prfco of hogs Induced short sellers to continue their covering , nnd , with some inquiry on in vestment account , sailers had the best of the movement. The offerings of the product were also quite moderate under the circum stances , and as a general thing there was more disposition to purchase than to sell. The fluctuations all around woio confined to n. small ranee , with the level of values higher than that of yesterday. The day's actual advance , however , was limited. PorK nnd lard closed unchanged to 3 > o higher ana short ribs at a small improvement of CHICAGO LiIVE STOCK. MARKET. _ _ _ _ CHICAGO. Juno 23. [ Special Telegram to THE BEE. | CATTLE. About all the desira ble stock was sold , both in the native and Texas line , but trade was slow and prices unsettled. The decline for the woou is about 25c per cwt on all grades of native cattlo. The decline for the last two weeks on me dium to fair grades is 30@10c , and on com mon 40@50o per 100. Heavy receipts have caused this decline. Wo see nothing in view to give us better prices.

Ilopofnl Signs of tlio Increasing Vnlito of Omnlm Property. "Xha most hopeful sign of the Increasing vatuo of Omahn property , " said n real es tate dealer yesterday , "Is the fact that pro perty Is being improved almost as rapidly as It Is purchased , Moro homes are being built In Omnlm than over before , and they nro of a better class , too. And thoro's a reason for it. Uulldlng material Is cheaper in this city to-day than It over was before , nnd property owners are taking advantage of the fact. Why , two years ngo you had to pay $3 n thousand for the commonest kind ot brick , and n first clnis article was worth from 39.50 to $12 per thousand. To-day you can got brick from $ -1.50 to $3 per thousand , and a good hard brick suitable for building pur poses will cost delivered $0 to $0.50. You can see what on iinmonso saving this would give la the course of a year's building. The result of It is that mnuy property owuors who would Imvn shuddered nt every look nt n prlco list of building materials two years ngo are now putting thnlr money Into sub stantial improvements. The chnugo in the prlco of lumber nnd materials for frame houses Is not so marked , although the re duction is considerable nnd will bo still greater if the proposed roductlon in the freight rates on lumber to Missouri river points is carried Into ofToct. Contractors nro moro reasonable iu their demands , too , than they were two years ngo , and In consequence quence the residence additions to the city nro dotted with now roofs and the good woric stilt goes on. " The real cstato outlook Is moro promising than It has been for the past two yoars. The feature of the past week was the amount of sales mudo for cash. Property In the north ern part of the city , notably in Dundee pluco nnd in the vicinity of Fort Omaha , has ex perienced n Uccldod advance owing to the promise of the Metropolitan Cable company to have n line In operation to these localities by the first of September. Thcro is nothing now In the Cut-Oil island improvement scheme , although further de velopments nro expected at an early date. As an indication of nn increase In value of this property is quoted in the fact that hold ers of 100 acres of this property , for which ? T5OOJ was paid , have refused $100,000 In cnsh for a fourth interest lu their possession , A deal Is pending for the purchase of the property nt the southeast cor ner of Sovontocoth and Farnnm. An eastern syndicate of capitalists has offered , through the Omaha Real Estate and Trust company , $ SO,000 for a frontage of 00 feet on Farnnm nnd 132 foot on Seven teenth. The property Is owned by three par ties , who | iavo not as yet agreed upon a sale. Mr. E. M. Morsouian , president of the Pa * clflo Exur6ss company , is carrying WO.OOO around in his pocket , anxious to Invest It iu the purchase of n location for permanent olllcos for the express company ho repre sents. A number of locations hnvo been offered , but no selection has yet boon mado. Ono of the heaviest deals of the week was the sale by J.V. . Grlftlths , of the Union Pa cific , of the lot , 00 feet on St. Mary's nvcnuo nnd Twenty-sixth street , to H. H. Moday , of the Armour-Cuddahy Packing company , for § 20,000 in cash. L.

A euro for leprosy has bcoa found , says Mr. Clifford , the last European to visit Fntlior Damion. It is curiuu oil , the produce of a flno trco which grows plentifully in the Andaman Islands. "It was discovered by Dr. Dougnll , and Mr. Clifford was assured by Sir Donald Stewart , who was then governor of the islands , and who has sent mo the official medical report , that every single case in the place was cured by it. The lepers were convicts , and it was therefore possible to enforce fonr hours a day of rubbing tbo ointment all over their bodies , und the taking of two small doses internally , In some of the cases the disease was ot many years' standing , and the state to which it had reduced its victims , was indescribably dreadful , yet , after eight months , suffer ers were able to run and to use a heavy pickax , and every symptom of leprosy had disappeared.

The Unsettled Fcollnn Prevalent in Snoonlntlvo Grain Onuses n Wider llnngo In Prloo Fluctuations Than Usual. In tlio Flnnnolnl World. CmcAoo , Juno 22. 1 Spools ! Telegram to TUB UF.E , ] The financial situation tins un dergone no material chnngo wlttiln the post wook. There wns about the usual demand for loans which characterizes this period of the year. All classes of merchants nro bor rowing moro money , nnd lumbermen espe cially nsk for grantor assistance than is their custom , owing to the slowness in that line nnd the Indisposition on the part of mill men to soil their stock freely nt the current low prices. There Is moro money arriving from the interior than is going out. nnd the bal ances of intorlor bankers nro rather on the Increnso. This condition of affairs will probably last n week or so longer , or until the now gram boglns to move to mar ket with any degree of freedom , when the current will bo rovorsed. Discount rates remain steady nt 4 } @ .1 > { per cent for call loans , 0@7 per cent" for business paper , some of the offerings bolng a trlllo moro. There is plenty of paper on the street , which brokers nro placing nt 4QO per cont. As there Is considerable money sucking In vestment , the instdo rnto is sometimes shaded. Collections nre reported fair. In the east the continued flow of currency nnd gold from the Interior has , In u measure , off set the exports of gold nnd mndo the discount market rather o.islor , nnd the bulk of call loans have boon nt 2@3 per cent for stock collateral. The collections of "tho United Stntos treasury during May were $3,000,000 in excess of the disbursements , nnd n g"ood increase has also occurred so far this month , as there will bo $9,000,000 paid out July 1. No nlnrm need bo felt. Advices from abroad indicate no partlcu- lar cbango In that quarter. Now' ' York exchange was weaker , with sales at 40c. Discount to par , closing at par. Foreign exchange was weaker , but not quotably - ably lower. Rates ranged at ? J.85J @ 4.85 . The Now York stock market , while show ing n largo degree of activity , developed nn exceedingly unsettled fooling. The with drawal of the Alton from the Inter State Commerce nssociation , coupled with the con tinued cutting of rates In the northwest , nnd the rather discouraging outlook for harmony in that section , noted ns a depressing factor on "Granger" securities , nud , although fair declines were recorded early in the week , there were fair purchases by combinations nnd covering by "shorts. " The desire on the part of the "longs1' ' to realize profits soon began to have the effect , nnd despite the good buying , the continued selling caused stocks in this group to develouo n most pro nounced weakness , which nt times had a tendency to spread to others nnd cause moderate recessions. They were small , however , compared with these iu " Grangers , " ns Kbclc Island declined \\X \ \ points , Burlington 2J4 , nnd the rr-st 3 @ 2 pol'its. As lone as the rate sltun- in the northwest remains so unsettled the fouling in "Grangers" will bo nervous. The prominent feature of the market was the activity and advance in coal stocks. Lack awanna , Delaware & Hudson vied with each other to see which could roach 150 llrst. Neither won. but the former reached 143j ! Jersey Central was advanced nearly 5 points , but receded 2. Reading sold up 2 points , but half of the Improvement was lost. The strength In these proportion was duo to the reports of a material increase in tbo coal business and prospective higher prices for coal. Oregon Transcontinental nnd North ern Pncifio were stronger nnd higher , but the failure of Villard to carrry every thing his own way nt the election caused a reaction in values. Now England was re garded ns n strong stock and rallied sharply on the reported perfection of the arrange ments for Its entrance into Now York city. There was a combination at work on the buying side , and on the ndvnnuo they sold heavily , hut prices were fairly maintained. The "Sugar Trust" received less attention nt the start and trading dragged , , but before the close it suddenly developed increased nnhnatlon and advanced 5 points. The "Load Trusts , " while traded In to as great an ex tent as any other property on the list , wore hold within a narrow rungo. This was at tributable to the heavy selling by a few largo holders who are going abroad and want to close out their holdings. "Gas Trusts" and " 'Cotton Oil Trusts" were compartlvoly quiet and generally easier. Bonds were uctivo nnd stronger. The total sales on the Now York stock exchange for the five day ending Friday , were 1,417,000 shares. Considerable interest was manifested in the speculative branch of the grain trndo durme the past weok. An unsettled feeling prevailed during the greater portion of the week and fluctuations in prices were fro- qucnt nnd within a wider range than usual. Tno markets for small grains wore influ enced to a considerable extent by the weather rather too much rain in the west and southwest and complaints of drouth and hot winds in the northwest. Some damage has boon sustained , and the outlook for growing crops Is not quite ns brilliant as re ported two or ttiro-j weeks ago , though the yield will bo goad In most sootlons. The movement of grain to central markets hns not boon very largo and the v isiblo supply of all kinds is gradually decreasing. Ship ments of corn nnd oats from western mar kets were quite liberal , mainly by the Inko route , and chiefly for distribution through Now York , Now England and Canada. Some round lots of the former were accented for seaboard markets atn further concession In freight rates. The shipping brunch of the grain trade wns fairly uctivo , with buyers generally accepting bettinggrudes. Advices from abroad gnyo holders very little en- courngomcnt , while the crop prospects uro not so brilliant in most sections. The course of the markets indicated nn easier fooling , with buyers limiting their purchases to sup plying immediate wants. Provisions were lost active nnd Irregular lu a spsculntlve way , but the shipping trade was active and firm , with slight advance * gained for sorno articles. Receipts of live stock , especially lie s and cattle , continue quite llbaral nt nil the principal western markets , and prices have Incllnod In favor of buvors. Packing iu the west shows a further enlargement. Seeds were quiet , but the fcoling was stronger owing to the rather nfavorablo crap prospects. THE STATE WAS IN THE CRADLE How Law Was Enforced in Nebraska City In Territorial Tlnien. There is a wealth of local historical information of moro or IOBS value , but always of interest , to bo found in the musty old court records of territorial and early state days in the vaults of the clerk of the district court. If you doubt it , ask Judge Campbell some day when ho has u moment's lo 1s- uro from tiling papers ( there is a joke hero if you can ilnu it ) to show you the plat n till index bonks Nos. 1 and 2. You will find that oifOotobor 4 , 1860 , O. P. Mason and Hiram P. Bennett were brought up for contempt "for light ing in the oresonco of the court while in session. " An investigation showed that Dennett struck the first blow ; ho wns fined $10 and * Mason $5. On October 0 "satisfactory acknowl edgments" were made that no disrespect was intended and that the "rocontro was tha result of sudden excitement" and the fines were remitted , says the Nebraska City Press. During the same term of court n largo number of excellent and reputable citi zens were indicted for betting. George W. Boulward was charged with betting on a horse race , but it was not proven ; what II. P. Bonnottbet on is not Bta , d , and whether J , Sterling Morton bucked his faith iu Jaiaes Buohannou or a buy mare , must remain n. mystory. Wlmt the books show is that there nro three charges against him , that two cos ca woretllsmlssocl , that ho pleaded gu Ity to the third nnd was fined $5. Rioting seems to have boon asoroo- mon as betting in these days.Villium MoLommn , however , wns "not guilty , " ns n jury decided in August , 1857. S. P. Nuckolls , William B. Hall nnd II. P , Bennett , intllctoil for riot , were brought before the court December 1 , 1857 , fought the cnso to December 20 , 1858 , nnd than concluded to plead gulltv nnd stand a flno of 83 each , and costs , for the bonoflt of tha school fund. During 1857 and 1853 and for thnt nmttor , nt almost every term of court until'00 or ' 01 , numbers ot these who are now among Nebraska City's host nnd foremost citizens , church pillars , many of them , were brought before the court on indictments for "kaoplng n > dram " " " and " shop , "gambling" "kooning gaming house , " eomo , too , for "kooning open n tippling house on the Snbbatli dny. " The United States got after n good many of these "beat clthons" nt about this time , fur cutting timber from gov ernment land , nnd made them pay for it. A license law wont Into onout Intar nnd well known names appear on the books as having sold liquor without license : but the moral ntmosphoro , so to sponk , wns clearing nnd ns the now reputable old settlers acquired families to whom they felt it essential to sot n good example , they bounmo loss frisky. It wns March 1,1874 , that the eases ot Win. McWators and John Crook , justly celebrated , oiuno up , McAVntdra getting twonty-ono years. Quln Bohanan was put on trial for horse stealing September - bor 1 of the same year ; nnd Quln often said , wlion In jail for murder afterward , that if ho hung it would bo the stealing of that horse that would hang'him.
