Crop reports contino favorable , ana if European advices are correct there will bo a market for nil the surplus at good prices. These advices Hay that the Indian wheat crop will bo no factor ut nil In the question or the world's ' food sup ply this year , and It seems to bo the opinion of well Informed English specialists that the stnto of affairs In the old world will bo fully as bad n few months licnco us It wns lust year , some say worse. Of course there may bo Improvement in the situation between now nnd harvest , but the indications to-day are that there will bo a great deficiency in the granaries of Europe after harvest. England , Franco. Spain and \vostorn Germany promise good crops , but the two great exporting countries Austria nnd Husslu will find it difltcult to feud thomsolvcs , and prices are rapidly advanc ing , with all eyes turned to America , whcro the crops nro now promising bountiful yields , and great prosperity seems in store for the agricultural , nnd necessarily also for the commercial community.

[ Special Telegram to THE BEE. ] Wheat was dull nnd lower to day.

It Is true that .foreign advices nro bullish , both ns regards crop nnd market news , but then foreign lionscs are generally long for speculative ac count , nnd it Is not forgotten that the foreigners nro prone to take profits on very moderate bulges , and the scalping trndo argues that they nro helping the market up to soil out. December wheat opened in .this market nt 80/c , which was nn over night gain of J < fc. Ulght from the open ing there was a disposition on the part of the bulls to sell out and on the part of the boars to extend tholr speoulntlvo risks. Hutch , as usual , 'bucked ' the crowd , " but tils efforts In that line did not scorn to bo crowned wltb. success. The prlco wont to "QXc , reacted to 79 0 nnd worked down to 79j c , with heavy selling below 70)f ) c. The crowd was short , however , nnd the buying gave the boars a little nervous trouior. setting ting them to covering and giving the market an appearance of a firm closing at soiuo re covery from the usual insldo figures , Decem ber closing nt 79 ? @ 70 } < c , July wh at was noticeably weak.

The average dcclino in long futures is J OKc. July lost l , c. The feature of the corn market continues to bo the excellent shipping demand1 for 'the , daily receipts , the argument front which is that extensive users of the article throughout the country are content -to buy * it freely at the current price , oven -with very-fair prospcsts for another creed crop. The atf * vance in the prlco of cash corn is something more than Is indicated by the actual quota tions , freights having boon also gradually hardening. The clearances for the week from the four principle Atlantic ports wcro 939,650 bnshols. Near deliveries nro fooling the influence of the strong demand for cash , and are relatively firmer than rnoro deferred futures. The changes in the end from Friday's closing figures were very slight , since July nnd September gained each l-10c. The balanco.of the list was unchanged. July closed at 83Ji@33c nnd September at35 @ 8Cc. 8Cc.Oats were less intensely dull than yester day , though not active , with nearly the pre vious prices continued. Fair trading was noted in July , chiefly at 22c , nnd later offered at that , with September at 21JC { < ra22c , nnd Mny easy nt the former point ot 23J c. 'Crop ' conditions were generally favorable and with plentiful supplies of old oats in tbo country yet to come forward. The long side of the market received little support. No 3 oats to go to store were steady nt 22J c. Local stocKs were reduced 49.895 bushels. Provision traders were favored with a stronger market. The opening generally was at prices closely corresponding with yesterday's closings , and during the morn ing the changes mndo were in an upward rection. Unexpected buying by.Jeadjiyr packers made the shorts feel uneasy , and induced a good many of the Into pof-slSlbnt bears to change their tactics. During the first hours of the session there were more buyers than sellers , a strong feeling held control and bettor prices prevailed.

Another Boulevard. -The park commissioners have Had under consideration for seine tlmo the idem ot con structing n boulevard nlotig the north nnd west side of the city. Tholr hands are tied for the present by. the lack of funds , but they desire to bring tbo matter to tlvp attention of the public in order that the ques tion may bo thoroughly discussed , nud nlso In the hope that several public-spirited cltl- zons may be Induced to donate the right-of- way. The details ns to the route , etc. , luxvo not yet taken definite shnpo. but the prevail ing opinion scorns to bo in favor of n boule vard 'beginning somewhere about Kountzo Place , or as much farther south ns can bo arranged , and running thence north , close to the bluffs , to the vicinity of Florenco. From this point a turn will bo taken to the south along ono of tbo high ridges commanding a full view of the city , and continuing along this along the west side of town to Hnnscom park , uud eventually to the South Omiihn park. The commissioners state that this is n mat ter which must depend largely upon the generosity of the citizens along the Hue of the proposed route , and they express the belief that a driveway of this character will onhanoo . the value of abutting property to an extent that will nmply repay any donation of right of way. If It should bo necessary to condemn the right of way it. would practically kill the plan , as it would entail too much expense. Ronlty In Midsummer. Building associations are the great equal izers of the ronl estate market. Big pur chasers come along nnd make a deal for a choice section of residence property , builder or promise to build cable lines to It and use every device known , and there are but few they don't know , to boom tholr property on the market. This lasts" for a time and then the building association steps in , buys the medium-priced blocks and goes to work erecting homos nnd residences for the middle class ; whoso only-hope of securing the own ership of no. house and lot Is by paying for it in weekly or monthly instalments. Suburban property has been passed Into thu Impr'oVors1 hands in this manner until the market is fairly wall cleared of it. Next year the seekers of homes of this class will have to go to the additions which a few years ago wero.looked upon as farm prop erty. "Tho irrepressible demand for homos will put an immense amount of this so-called outside property on the market in another year , vindicating the forcslghtcdnoss of the projectors of those suburban additions who were laughed at a year or so ago. Koal estate men are very hopeful over the outlook. Said ono of thorn yesterday : "Thoro nro dollars headed for Ornahn where cents could not bo secured two yours ago. Just now the eastern capitalists are away for the summer , butn month from now will iind n largo amount of eastern money seeking investment horo. You can rest assured - , sured that wo will see a now hotel nnd a now opera house started hero before snow files. Capitalists recognize aJuct that our own cit- 'izens don't- seam toax'nlizo , and that is that there is tnoro money being invested in build ings in Omaha than In uny city of its size on this or any other continent.

CHICAGO , July 20. [ Special Tdlogram to TUB UBK.J I'lio general features governing the money innrkot have undergone no chnuKb during the past wook. The banks have their discount lines loaned up ns close as they dare hnvo them nt this season , ns they fonrod a call for a bank statement and w.\ntod to bo In shape for It , Their fears , however , hnvo been allayed by the issue of a c.ill for a state ment of tholr condition July 13. Crops nro beginning to move in the south * west , but ns yet they have not reached sufllcicnt magnitude to absorb a largo ntnount of money , but bankers are looking forward to It and nro prep.irod to furnish all the funds thut may ba required. Mcrchanlllc nnd manufacturing interests also nro calling for more than their usual amount of assistance , and they have been the largest borrowers of late. The banks also are carrying largo lines of local securi ties , ana these , with the calls from the mer cantile trade , keeps tnclr funds well em ployed. Hates remain ! lrin , nnd the fact that thu month of July Is half gene , the outlook for n decline Is not at all llatterlng and creates the Impression that thcro will DO no change the remainder of the month. Five per cent Is tlio inside for cull loans , nnd they range up to 0 per cant , with 5f { per cent as the average. Tlmo paper commands 0@S per cent. There Is u fair amount of commercial p.ipor olTcrod on the open market , which pays 5 per cent , nnd It is easily disposed of. At the east the market is steady , nnd as bank reserves nro down to a low point , thcro it apparently no disposition on the part of bankers to loan at extremely low rates , and little money is put out below 3@3X per cent. Now York exchange was quiet , with sales nt 25@0 ! ! cents discount per 1,000 , , the close being 40 cents. Interest In the Now York stock market ran largely to "trusts. " The exposition made of their issues last weak sot tbo pub lic , who have been the luigcst buyer * , to ro- lloctlng upon the condition of their hold ings. The largo issue of lead "trusts" certificates created an apprehensive fee ling , nud free unloading resulted. Selling orders came largely from Chicago and prices for load declined over S points. Sugar , after advancing S points , declined 5 points. Chicago cage gas "trusts" lost il points and coltoa oils 2 per cent. The opening of the week was noted for its strength in the general list. London came In firm. Foreigners appeared to have confi dence in the future of American se curities nnd bought thotn. lOarly advances , howevoi , with few exceptions , were small , grangers showing the moat prominence. The rate dilllcultie io the west , although in no better shapa than for u week past , wore not regarded with much alarm. Crop pros pects are favorable nnd operators looked moro to the future than to the present und manifested a fair degree of confidence , which was in u measure duo to the reports of nego tiations for the purchase of the Chicago , Liurlington & Northern by the Chicago , liur- llngton & Qiiinoy , which would In sure peace. Northern 1'ucillcs became - came Quito active. The 131 ? Four aad the Cleveland , Columbus , Cincinnati & Indianapolis developed considerable stiength and scored Kood advances. Chicngo sold "trusts" without stint. Tlio closing days witnessed free general selling of the entire list und u sharp decline in pricos. Trading during most of the week was light and frequent periods of dullness prevailed. The agRrognto sales for the week were 021.000 shares , against 1-'J1UX , ! , ( > shares the preceding week. The loudingrgrnin markets attracted con siderable attention during the past week and trading was quite active in all brunches. Speculative trading wns brisk , mainly on conllicting crop news , nnd iho shipping branch of the trade was fairly active , as buyers were disposed to take advantage of tbo recent reduction in freights. Prices , us a rule , have been moro fuvomulo to sellers , though with considerable irregularity. The movements of grain toward ccntrul markets have buun moderately free , being Increased to some extent by the now crops. The movement of grain , toward thu seaboard has been quite largo , chiefly of corn nnd oats by the lulio route.
