CHICAGO PUODUQE MARKETS.
CUICACIO , July 0. [ Special Telegram to
TIIR BKE. ] There was ft quiet wlndup to a
fairly nctivo week's business. Fluctuations
ouUldo of July delivery were narrow nnd
trading was languid , but shorts m this
month nro still nervous nnd holders of their
contracts evidently uionn to keep thorn on
the unxlous scat. The Btartlng p'rloo for
July was about 83o , but It soon reached 83o
and hold around thora all day , closing nt
8c , or lc ) hotter than yostordny. For
December 70 'c end SOJ o marked the ex
tremes , closing nt SOc , which Is * o Improve
ment on Friday's ' closing llguro. Cablas con-
tlnuo to quota a firm market In England ,
accompanied by reports of flno prospects for
the wheat crop of that country nnd of
Franco. gj Orders from Europe forj Ameri
can who.it are by no means plentiful
or urgent , in the facb of ono
of their chief sources of supplying In a great
measure dried up , If the Russian crop
damage reports nro not grossly exaggerated.
European countries display a considerable
amount of equanimity , and a lack of any
thing approaching nnxioty regarding future
supplies , which is probably to bo attributed
to the flno growing weather onjoycd by two
chief importing countries. The northwest Is
now changing over from fear of drouth to
apprehension of blight from hot winds suc
ceeding the late copious rams. Some such
anxiety was expressed In n few of to-day's
dispatches from that country of contra-
tradlotory crop reports. St. Louis dispatches
a week ago promised heavy receipts of now
wheat this week , which have not panned out ,
and now modify their views to the extent of
postponing these liberal receipts to the 15th
of the present month. In the meantime
Minneapolis appears to require some of the
St. Louis wheat to oka out her own supplies
till the maturing of the .northwestern crop
shall supply lier immense grinding capacity.
There were reported purchases of forty cars
of wheat to-day on account of Minneapolis
millers. Charters were made hero to-day to
tnko out 90,00 : ) bushels of wheat , for which
Bomo premium over the July price was paid ,
but the exact llguro was not made public ,
shippers appearing to Jinvo a constitutional ,
droadof quoting the cish price of Minneap
olis millers , who arc evidently in need of
wheat , us , besides , the purchase of rod win
ter mndo by thorn in St. Louis , 5,000 bushels
of No. 2 spring wheat was bought hero to
day , free on board cars , for shipment
to Minneapolis. Thcro was hardly a
kernel of bear news in the sheaves of the
dispatches received to-day , if the magnificent
harvest weather In the winter wheat bolt bo
cxceptcd , but that of itself gave sufficient
courage to the shorts to prevent any very
Konoral alarm , nnd they submitted without
a semblance of anxiety to to-day's ' advance.
Corn was qulto dull to-day nnd quite
featureless. The whole fluctuation of the
session wai loss than J e , uud the close was
very much the same as yesterday. The In
spection posted was C01 cars , of which 412
cars graded No. 2. The estimate for Mon
day is for 4Sl ! cars. The shipping demand
remains fail- both hero and at the cast , nnd
thirteen loads wore reported taken at Now
York for export , But speculative business
was on a limited scalc"nnd most of * the
time the trading "pitTwns almost deserted.
ugust sold all day at 35i @ 355 c , closinir at
bid , while September sold at 35Jf@35 %
and split , closing with sellers ut 33c.
At the close August was about > c hotter
than it closed last night nnd September nbout'
> c higher.
Oats were as tame and featureless nS on
any preceding day of the week and no more
than steady. Receipts were largo nnd ex
ceeded the estimates , with favorable crop
weather and dullnes * everywhere there was
Httlo Incentive for speculative activity. Sep
tember sola mostly at , 2-J ( ft22 > c , together
with a prominent operator later offering to
cither buy or sell at 25 > $ c. While May was
dull around 25.c , the demand for car lots
was small , with No. 2 regular quiet ut22 fc.
Provision traders found it nn easy nmtier
to keep track of the market. It was slow
throughout , and for both cash and future de
livery the business transacted made a poor
showing. Operators of all classes exhibited
remarkable indifference , nnd an easier feel
ing controlled the trade , tno best prices
quoted being obtained at the opening. The
closings all around were considerably under
yesterday's final quotations. In pork the
decline suffered amounted to 5@2 > { c. In
lard to 7 c , and In short ribs to So.

only a "handful" of cnttio about 6'JO Texas

NEW Yonic , July 0. [ Special Telegram
to Tun Bun. ! STOCKS There was a
more hopeful outlook In stocks this morning ,
although it was Httlo noticed in the early
trading. The trade regards the firmness In
Louden as significant , believing that the for
eigners have seine assurances of a solution
of the railroad disturbances , Chicago ad
vices also pointed to a probable settlement at
the next meeting of the presidents. Follow
ing the qulot opening there was activity In
Atchlcon , Lake Shore nnd Now England.
TrusU were dull and stagnant throughout ,
ns on yesterday. The market reacted from
the low prices of last evening , but could not
hold the advance and generally retired small
fractions from the oncnlng figures , which
were from } ( to X per cent hichor than last
night's prices , the biggest advance bolng In
Lake Sboro. Atchlson and Now England
were prominent for strength and actually
advanced fractions in the face of the heavi
ness of the rest of the market. The only
marked movement was lu Lake Shore ,
which , after opening up > f per cent , declined
1 per cent to ( % . During the hour to 12
o'clock there was a declining tendency and
the closing prices were about the lowest ot
the day. Atchlson cloned oteaay .at 8- %

Bomn "Slmnty Corners. "
"About the first thing the average vlsltoi
to Ohiahti wants to know , " snlil n well
known real estate man yesterday , "is whj
oomoof tbo best building lots , situated In tin
most desirable parts of the city , are not Im
proved as they should bo. It is a fact , too
that many of the most eligible corners an
still burdened with the shanties that won
built wlillo Omaha was simply n muddy
sickly river landing. It Is astonishing hov
quickly Visitors see these places. Cltlzoui
become accustomed to them and don't rcallti
how frightfully bad they look nlongsldi
soiuo of the magnificent structures that havi
been built within the pait few years. Still
resident property owners fcol the existence
of these kennels , for owners do not care t <
run up n four or six-story brick building
alongside u tumble down , one-story frame
and building generally Is retarded. Take
Tenth straot for example. If the Union Va
clflu had built a decent depot where the
cow-shed now stands , say ton years ago
Tenth street would bo n solid line el
brick blocks to-day Instead of n row 01
tumble-down frame shanties. Example 1 :
followed In nothin ? so much ns in building
"Thoro are many Instances in which gooO
reasons can bo given for the 'shanty' condi
tion of eligible corner lots in the best por-
tlons of the city. Some of them are part :
of estates that can not bo improved unti
heirs become of ago , but other good corner ;
are kept from being properly Improved slm
ply by the grasping natura of curtain Indi
viduals who own a few feet of property bo-
twccn lots possessed by public-spirited citi
zens who would improve their possessions.
"Ono of the boat corners in the city , at
the nortncast corner of Fourteenth and
Douglas , is burdened with throe cheap frame
structures. The corner Is owned by Mr. J ,
Chambers , whllo ox-Govornor Saundorc
owns the adjoining twenty foot. These gentlemen <
tlomon are not in a hurry to build , but could
not well Improve tholr property if they
wished to as the adjoining twenty foot ,
necessary for a building of any size , Is owned
by the Isaac Toumsou estate aud will not be
settled up for years.
"Tho Merchants' National bank people
know something ot the dog-in-the-man
ger policy adopted by some property owners ,
15. F. and O.V. . Smith of Boston , yours ago
patd'SU.OOO for the twenty font just cast ol
the present Merchants' National bank nt
Farnam and Thirteenth streets. Whou the
bank people planned to build on their present
slto two years ace they sought to purchase
the twenty foot. They offered tbo Smiths
$2,000 a front foot for tlio property , but the
owners raised their holding to $43,000. This
the bank people agreed to give when tht
owners took the property out of the market.
It holds n ono-story cigar store , to-day , not
largo enough for a coal shed for the magnifi
cent structure that touches sides with it.
"Tho northeast corner of Twelfth and Far-
nam is also behind in tbo matter of improve-
lents. It is occupied , nt present , by a frame
saloon , as it has boon for twenty years , the
owner , Mrs. Van Ainio , showing no disposi
tion to improve it.
"For live ycari two enterprising hotel men
having been eudcavoring to purchase the
northeast corner of Twelfth and Douglass ,
where the Metropolitan hotel stands , with s
view of building a fine brick hotel on the
proporty. The owner , however , satisfied
with the monthly rental from the frame
structure refuses , to sell the lot aud will nol
listen to uuy offers that contemplate an Iin
provemcnt of the proporty.
"There uro n crcat many otljer locations , '

U. G. Dunn & Co.'s commercial agency
has issued a somi-annual review of the
business outlook , in which Omaha is spokcc
of as follows :
Omaha has made a steady and substantial
progress during the last six months. A
stranger without a cuido , traversing the
city , would bo Impressed by the manifold
evidences of enterprise and wcaitn visible
on every side. The growth of Omaha ha ;
been phenomenal , and , despite the drawback
occasioned by the collapse of tbo boom it
suburban real estate , the city has made
more rapid advancement to the position ol
a commercial metropolis during the last
half year than during any other slmilai
period in Its history. Eastern capita
seeks Investment here ut 0 per cent
per annum. Manufacturers are Reeking lo
cations : wholesalers and jobbers are increasing
ing their store capacity , and now houses arc
locating , and the attention of the shrewd
men of the country is attracted to Omaha ,
they perceive that this city stands to-daj
whore Chicago did In 1S09 , offering advant
ages to Investors hero now equal to those
offered there then. There is no town in the
United States which presents so many di
rect tangible inducements to manufacturers
and dealers desirous of malting money as
docs this city to-day. Jobbers and manufac
turers' sales for the last six months will foot
upwards of ono hundred million dollars ,
Uuildlug Is far In excess of any previous
year , and the supremacy of Omaha as one ol
the great commercial centers of the Unltoel
States Is admitted by experienced and candid -
did observers. In the state the growth ol
wcaitn and population Is , if anything , in excess -
cess of the city. Crops promise a groatoi
abundance of yield than is usual. The now
banking law , strict nnd well digested , gees
Into force July 1 , and all Indications point tc
a prosperous future for Nebraska and
Omaha.

Calls for loans , whllo fair , have boon In

holiday greatly interrupted business on the
Now York exchange. Many oporntors word

dency to drag. There also was n disposition
on the part of traders to work iroro con
servatively , nnd the "bullish" fooling which
has beon'so prevalent for over n month past
was lost sight of. Most of the Influences
brought to boar had had a decidedly depress
ing effect. After an attempt ut the opening
to advance prices n reaction sot
in , which continued until the
closo. The disturbing Inlluoncoscre in the
west. Unfavorable inlluunces about the
Atohlson's financial condition , the refusal of
the Chicago , Hurlington & Northern to with
draw its Commodity tariff , which will neces
sitate all the roads running to St. Paul to

easiness among the holders of securities , und

prices , which carried Hock lulaml down ever ;
1 points and other western trunk lines 2Q3W

occurred. The largest volume of trading ,
centered In "trusts , " and aside .from them
nnd the interest taken in "Grangers , "
nothing of couscnucnco wns done.
Sugar advanced 8 points and later declined
11 , the downward tmidonoy being assisted by

followed the depression , which carried pricoa
up 5 points. Load trusts were traded lu to a
larger extent than any other property on the
list und prices fluctuated freely within a
moderate rntigo. Whisky trusts also received
more notice for now stock and prices ranged
lower. Comparative prices this week with

The first wcok in July is generally not re
garded us a very nctivo wock in business
circles. However , there has been more Ufa
manifested in produce circles since the last
weekly roviow. Colllotlng advices recording
tbo condition ot crops at homo and nbro.m
encouraged more speculative trading In lead
ing cereals , especially In wheat , nnd urfcos
were somowtiat Irregular and averaged
higher. Deliveries on July Contracts
were light and led to the itiinrcssion
that trades were well evened up.
The visible supply showed a j further
reduction of all kinds of grain excepting
barley. Arrivals nt smaller stations were
comparatively light , as farmers have other
matters which require their attention , and
are cultivating thctr corn and harvesting
their winter wheat. Shipments of corn and
oats were quite liberal by the Lake route
ana seine wheat was forwarded to interior
points. Foreign markets have exhibited
little more strength in a general way and.
quotations for flour and grain were slightly
advanced , but not in proportion to the improve
ments in western markets. Hoports of damage -
ago to crops by drouth lu seine sections and
rains in others had consldorablo offo < ! t on the
course of the markets. Speculative trading
was active , with .September delivery at
tracting the most attention , The [ shipping
branch of. the trade was modorntoljr active ,
ns buyers were slow to meet tho'views ' of
sellers , except to fill anecliloil orders.
Provisions exhibited an unsettled fooling
and prices ruled lower on all leading descrip
tions , ns deliveries on July contracts were
quite largo and the stocks on hand were re
ported liberal considerably in excess of
general expectations. The receipts of cattle
and hogs nt all the principal wcstor i points
were qulto llhnml. The packing nt hn west
shows an Increase for the wcok.
Seeds were inclined to quietness , but the
feeling was stronger and prices ruloi higher ,
owing to the unfavorable crop advlccis.
