Jn dry goods , canton and woolen flannels are 3) ) @ 10 per cent up , walla table ell cloths are worth 25 per cent more than at the llrst of the season. In groceries , canned goods show consid erable llruiucss , and as western packers have been unable to make contracts for fu ture delivery , nnd hence have been unable to raise money from their bankers , It Is thought that the pack will bo greatly cur tailed and prices wilt rule high.

A week or moro IIRO a gentleman whom wo will cnll Mr. Blank died , says the Washington Post , and the time nnd plueo of his funeral were announced in the papers. .Another gentleman , whom wo will cnll Blanker , saw the notice nnd said to himself : 'Dear , dear , my old friend and bcno- fuctor is dead. I knew ho was in Wash ington , und intended to call on him ; hut now it is too late. " And he censured himself for his neg lect of the man who had boon his friend when ho solely needed a friend. ' Tortured by'his conscience , ho sought to make up us boat ho then could for his fault. He sent the most magnificent ilornl piece ho could buy , nnd on the day of the funornl.wnsono of the most demonstrative of the mourners , -s Alter' ' the casket had boon lowered into the grave and th'b"c.ardmonies wore ut an end , the repentant Mr. Blanker turned with tears streaming down his ayQS und said to a gentleman walking beside him towards the carriage : "lam almost broken-hearted at the loss of my dear old friend. " "Was he a rolativoV" asked the ether compassionately. "No , but wo went all through the war together and ho was my host friend and benefactor afterwards.1' ' "Thoro must be some mistake , " said the gentleman. "Mr. Blank was not in the army. Ho has boon in this country only a few years. " "Tho deuce you say ! " said Blanker , forgetting his grtof ; "then , by thunder , I've been chlbf mourner at the wrong man's funeral. " And ho straightway looked up his old friend , who was in excellent - collont health. It cost Blanker a good deal for llowors , but that isn't a circuin- stance to what it has since cost him for wine. Tin ; Snalco Swallowed A Man. A strange discovery ono that is caus ing the thoughtful to ponder over the unwritten past was made yesterday by a French citizen near Gainesville , Tex. , says a suecial dispatch. Haying occasion to sink a woll. Mr. Somines , tho. Frenchman in question , selected a spot in a valley , near a ravine of great length , nnd which , dur ing heavy rains , is transformed into a raging torrent , doposltig in the valley limestone , gravel , mud and other de bris. bris.After After reaching a depth of four foot , and while in a formation of limestone gravel that had continued almost unin terruptedly fromtho surface down , Mr. Sonnries came upon the vortobro and ribs of un animal. The riba wore al > out the size of a small pig's and rapidly tapered. CiU'ofullyunonrtliingthobonos toward the tuporlng oud , Mr. Sorainos came to the rattles , which ? what ) counted , num bered seventeen , the largo'st measuring BX inches nuross. Attracted by the strange find , the neighbors gathered in and the work of unearthing the monster was prosecuted with vigor. After laying bare nineteen foot of the remains of the monster of ether time , imagine their consternation at IIinline the qntirc skeleton ot a man of tremendous stature iu the stomach ot the skeleton of the snake. The remains of thojimui and tliu sor- Rent , ns nu' an the Horpont has boon ox- umod , are as perfect as when first de nuded of flash , and wora doubtless cov er od by liiuo and gravel soon after death. Near the bones of tlio man's right hand Is a rude stone hatchet , which a local geologist of some repute reports to bo similar to the handiwork of paleo lithic man. . Toby ttitalics the Growler.

Probably Toby didn't rollBh the errand overmuch , oa before accomplishing it he "worked the growler" on his own account , standing In the center of the street , looking bacli nt his master with a deprecatory wag ol Ilia tall nnd emitting exnostulatory barks as who should aay : "Isn't It a little early for boor ?

THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Wheat SoOuroo a Firm Start In tlio Morning. CORN OPENS EXTREMELY DULL. Tlio Provision Xrado Htiow.t Homo Improvement In Tone The Few Native Cnttlo Ro- colvcd Soil Quickly. CHICAGO 1MIODUC13 MAHKETS. CHICAGO , July 13. [ Special Telegram to TUB BKK. ] Wheat had a firm start this morning. Trades In December wore made at the opening on n basis of TSJjfc nnd In July at 70Jfe. December advanced to 79 @ 7lfc ! , receded to 79o , and on bettor cables , un settled weather In England and further re ports about the Russian crop damage , moved tip to TOJfiC , Then cumo n budget of reports foreshadowing n hugo movement of wheat from the country and the market began to case off. This bearish news came at n time when the scalpers wore pretty well loaded up n anticipation of n substantial re covery. Jt was accompanied by heavy selling ordova from St. Louts , to which was added the pcoulativo offerings of the local boar contingent , with Hutchlnson and T.inn , and Place , the Pittsburg plunger , n the foreground. The result of the pres sure , moral and actual , was a break of about lj < c iu the whole list of active futures. The weakness in futures was Intensified by the ibcrat selling of July against wheat bought n the country and pointed this way. Mo- Henry had n big line to sell ana broke the- market from 79 fc to 70J o. There was n reaction of } e or thereabouts from the bottom , but uot much trading was done after the break. December sold off to 77Jfo and September slid down to 75 % @ 75Xc. On the decline ttioro Was heavy un- oading of long wheat and towards the bot- ta scalpers very generally tools tholr profits. There sotnnod to bo no disposition , however , to take in 'any of the Important lines , Spec ulative sentiment is decidedly bearish , prin cipally in anticipation of the approaching i > ig movement of winter wheat. St. Louis ms extraordinary statements to make about ; ho wheat that is going to be received there. Thus far the actual receipts have fallen far below expectations , though the movement is increasing rapidly. It will have a hard time keeping up with the estimates , however. The receipts nt Minneapolis are also looming up wonderfully , and n week or ton days contin uation of the movement at its present pro portions will clean out the country ulovator& and leave very llttlo grain to come forward the first of August until the next crop be comes available. The situation at Minneap olis is strongly suggestive of n "corner" in speculative grudo there and prodigious ef forts are being made to crowd wheat into that market for delivery en July contracts. Little wheat has gene to Minneapolis from here and tlioro is wild talk of wholesale shipments. Cables wcro quiet and steady in tenor. Now York had no export news of importance to communicate in this market. A fair degree of activity in the cash market is reported. Lake engagements for 90,000 bushels are reported and the arrivals for Monday are estimated at 101 cars , the most of which is now , The visible supply is expected to show T. decrease of something llko half a million bushels. The closing ran go of prices was us follows : July 76c , August 75 c , Septem ber 73J c nnd December 77J c. As compared with yesterday , this shows a loss of lo in September and % o in December. The total shrinkage in December since the market started back three or four days ago has boon about tj c. July has'lost about Sc. The corn market was very dull and extremely - , tromely weakuat > the opauing , with a fair show of strength- but the declining tendency of the wheat market gradually effected trad ing ui'tho ' other cereal und was mainly re sponsible for its subsequent weak ness. There was a fair- demand and only limited offerings of cash corn. Foreign markets were lirm nnd export inquiry at Now York was reported good. The pros- 'poets are generally considered good for the growing crop and this lays back of the market and paralyzes any attempts at ad vances. Export clearances were quite mod erate from Atlantic ports yesterday , but for the week amounted to 1,439,500 bushels. Moro distant futures felt the bear pressure in about an equal degree with seller July. The latter declined from % o to J c nnd so nlso did September , the closing quotations being 35 o for July and 35 @ 35 o for September. Oats were fairly active with a liberal speculative business recorded. * The market was nearly steady , although the early firmness was not fully sustained with receiving houses free sellers. On the otbor 'hand there was an increase for May , with September shar ing in the activity. The first , named sold largely at BSQMkfc , while September de clined @ > 4C tol&i. . The noxi month "was easy around SISjjC , with July at about J o premium. Receipts wore liberal , nnd No. U oats to go to store sold at 22 > c. The provision trade showed some improve ment In tone. The moderate buying of pork by some of yesterday's raiders developed a disposition among tailors nnd miscellaneous shorts to coyer , and with a better demand than expected the market naturally gained in strength. Porlc was the most active article in the list , and on the call tbo transactions in It approx imated 13,003 barrels. Lard and snort ribs also received fair attention , and , for Satur day , business all around made quite u good showing. Shippers' purchases of cash lard nmounted to 3,550 tierces nt $0.22tf$0.37 ( > . Cash meats were again slow , 1(1-1 b green hams being quoted at & % c and 10-lb sweat piukled hums at 10(3lu ( e. In speculative lines prices as n ruio experienced only limited changes. Pork at the adjourn ment stood unchanged as compared with yesterday's closing to Ca higher , lard un changed to 2o butter and short ribs un changed to a trlllo easier , Future trading was centered mainly in September , which sold at $11.25@11.40 for pork , $0,83K < iii0.87 p for lard and $ j.72K@5.7ti for short ribs. Short ribs and lard for the saino month closed at the best prices obtained and pork atll.)5. ! ) For January pork was quoted at $10,00 bid and short ribs at $5.0.2& Lard for January told at $0.02 (30.03.

The Hcnlty Market. Some of the leading real estate men nro taking their annual vacations , expecting the usual lull In tho-iuarkct during the next nix wcoks. Illght hero is whcro they nro very apt to bo mistakun. Though the trade of the past week has boon light there are several things on foot which show the strong unflqr' current nnd Indlaato plainly that the regular annual dog-day lull In the market will not bo uoticoablo this year. The sale of the opera house proDorty was but a starter for the or ganization of several schemes the consum mation of which will create renewed activ ity in real estate circles. It is generally ac cepted that n now opera house will bo built aad property owners and realty speculators are uusy in nn effort to secure the attention of the prospective promoters meters of the enterprise to eligible locations. The corners nt Seventeenth and Douglas , Twentieth and Dodi < g , Eighteenth and llnr- ney , Twentieth and St. Mary's avenue and several other sightly locations hnvo been named as especially suitable for operr , house purposes. The decision of Doonng & , Co. , the agricultural implement dealers , to erect a mammoth -warehouse at the corner' of Eighth street nnd Capitol avenue , is expected to cause a great change in that part of the city and to cause an activity in realty in thnt part of the Thlid ward. The location is one of the best in the city for warehouse purposes and it is surprising that jobbers have uot taken possession of it sooner. The proposed Improvement will result in tbo removal of the undesirable class of citizens who have so long infested that quarter nnd will render eligible for le gitimate business several blocks especially suitable for such improvements , There is reason to expect ether big deals on Inside property. ANowYont business man who is willing to invest 81150,000 , in good insldo property , has had a representative in the city for several days and has received quotations irom several owners. Among the locations under consideration nro the south east corner of Fourteenth nnd Capitol avenue - nuo nnd the southeast corner of Fourteenth und Davenport. In 'case either site Is pur chased it will bo improved by u line bricK block. There Is considerable activity too In the manufacturing outlook. The organization of the Omaha Stove Manufacturing com pany assures for Omaha another big indus try. In addition to this , a capitalist from North Adams , Mass. , bus boon In the city for several days ascertaining what induce ments Omaha would offer for the location nnd operation hero of a mammoth iron foun dry. While nothing detinito has been deter mined upon , the knowing ones give verbal assurance thnt Omaha will secure this great industry. J. S. Campbell yesterday purchased the south half of lot 1 , block 18 , S. E. Roger's addition , for $4,000. Swan Roscngrcn paid $35,500 for 10 lots in Scully's addition.

Here they are patched , repaired and repainted , until they cost as much ns n new house. They nro never destroyed until n lire comes along as a blessing in disguise und assists natur.il decay in the flnril demoli tion of the building. But coming back to the proposed ordinance. This .provides that when an owner wants to move a house upon his property ho must first ascertain the wishes of his neighbors in the matter and if a majority of tlioso in tlio block decide that they don't want au old second haud structure moved Into tlio neighborhood , that settles the matter and the owner will have to place a substantial improvement , if any at all , upon his property. If the ordinance Is passed , and most of tbo counciluion favor it , it will bo in teresting to note what disposition will bo made of some of the structures that must bo moved soon for big improvements , those on the Sixteenth street sldo of the now uost- ofllco site for instance. It will mark a now era if they are torn down. The number of permits issued thus far in July is not large , but there is u constant im provement in the class of buildings to bo erected.

The Imports of spoclo for the week amounted to 818,874 , of which 910,777 was gola and 7,397 silver. ' The Now York stele market was fairly active , but the fooling was unsettled. During the early part of the week tlio uncertainty regarding the railroad situation in the west created a distrustful feeling and Induced free selling of "granecr" stocks , so that-tho "short" interest created the proceeding week was increased to such an extent as to bo unwieldy. Union 1'acllie , St. Paul , Atchison - ison , and Hock Island broke sharplyunder selling pressure , but a change for the bettor was produced by news from , the west thnt efforts wcro being unide nt the meotin.fr , of tlia presidents to lostoro harmony umoug. the western lines. The fact that the Alton nnd Fort Woith were not represented nt the meeting had a tendency to create greater uneasiness , and the Alton , in which little hus been dona heretofore , sold off 9 points. "Shorts" beg.in to cover and found the market over sold , and ju their efforts to buy they created a brisk competition , which wan muroatou by the report that efforts were being uindo to secure control of the Chicago , Burlington Sc Northern nnd take it out ni a disturber of rates in the northwest. It was assorted that the Chicago , Burlington & Quinoywns to put in its 30 per cent of holdings of that road , and otbor roads wore to supply the money to purchase the balance. This started sharp buying and trading Increased perceptibly and. advances of 2 to 8 points wore recorded. The failure of the presidents to agree , however , produced heavy selling , mid about all the appreciation waslost. , Speculation in trusts was less ac tive , but the fcollng unsettled , good declines being in turn followed by sharp advances , and the losses wcro about recovered at tlio close , but a sudden turn again carded prices down , and sugar closed with a net loss of ; over 0 points nnd on n load of 7 points. Coal stocks wore traded in fairly. hut they failed to attract especial attention. The only important t feature wan the declaration ot u quarterly dividend ofyt per cent on Jersey Central , theilrstin a number of years. As It had boon In a measure anticipated by the recent advance , the appreciation was only 2 points. Most , of The aotlVo list closed lower than the preceding woek. llonds wcro fairly nrtlvo and steady and without , special features. The ac-gregato sales for the woolr were 1,331,000 shares , against 039,000 shares the preceding week. Considerable interest has boon manifested In the leading erniu markets smooths last weekly review and speculative trading Was quite active. Local operators traded uiora trcoiy than for some time past and orders from outside partiei showed some enlarge ment. In a general way the fooling was consldurably unsettled and prices , fluctuated frequently within n moderate range. Crop prospects are quite favorable , the weather during the past week or ton days being more favorable for harvesting operations u nil , for growing corn , nnd it is eciienilly conceded thnt larger crops will bo 'secured than last year , and the quality also wll ) no very good. Now grain is beginning to ntovo. and during the next month or two the re ceipts undoubtedly will bo llbnral. Supplies of grain in tlio principal murhoU have Won further reduced ; excepting of outs , and the movement of old grain from first hands lias boon moderate. The domestic markets liuvo shown a little more strength nnd foreign advices were imwe favorable to holders. Crop advice * Trom abroad exhibited very little change generally good in , western Europe , but rather poor IU a greater portion of eastern Europe. The shipping branch of the trade .lias shown a llttlo moro activity , being oncourugcU by the reduction In freight rates. Corn anil oats wore forwarded ruthur freely to eastern markets and wheat was scattered quite liberally through the Interior to supply the wont of millers. Pncos for the leading cereals were on nn advancing aculo during the early part of the wbok , with rather JTroo purchasing by the 'shorV Interest. Toward the close a weaker feeling was developed and lower prices submitted to , duo to romtltlerabla realizing by holders of small nunntltios and also to liberal aW by "aborts. " Provisions were unnettloa nnd weak during the greater portion of tlio week and lower prices wcro accepted for all loading descriptions. The shipping demand has fallen pff materially , while the packing of hogs at o'l ' the principal western points Is progressing actively considerably in excess of the returns for la t season , The receipts of oattlo and hogs were liberal at nil tlio leading markets and lower prices : were accepted. Seeds were unsettled and rather woolt owing to better crop prospects , llnx bolus the only exception. - - - - n- - i A quaint and pretty fashion of quickly mid charmingly draping the bodice for dinner on a sultry evening U followed ut Saratoga nn l ether fashionable resorts.
