THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : STJMA& AUGUST 4 , 1889-TWELVE PAGES. 11 TUB CONDITION OF TRADE. A Good InorooBO Noted in Omaha's Bank Oloariuga. AN ACTIVE DEMAND FOR MONEY. Gcnornl Trnile CnntlnuoHto Improve and Jobbers Itotmrt an Krcnllcnt Outlook For Gnod Truilo in the Fnll , A Summary of Iiornl Ilnalncai. Mr. Hughes , manager of the Omaha cloar- /ng house , report * the clearings for the week ntf 1,432,181.01 , an Increase of 31 8 10 percent over the snmo period In 1SS3 , nnd bankers re port nn nctlvo domaud for money , with n somewhat tighter market , nnd it seems cor- tnln that the demands of traders will absorb the loanable supply earlier than usual this loll. McCaguo Brothers have nbout completed their arrangements to open another national bank In Dumbo with $200,000 paid up capital , nnd the stock has boon plncod and the money therefor Is in hand. Thu Bank of Com merce did not. It la understood , pass wholly tinscathcd through the hands of the state examiners , but the dlrrctors * nv they have met the requirements of thoboird nnd put the bank into first-class shape , and as there never has been any doubt of their abil ity to do so. It may now bo taken for granted that all of Omaha's financial Institutions are up to the market , safe nnd solvent. At the present time the gold certificates In circulation amount to 5113,610,301 , nnd the liver certificates toJ.VJ,412 , 21. The United States treasury now holds $ ' { 00,777,470 of gold coin und bullion , and $285,093,1508 of silver dollars nnd bullion. The average prlco nt the anthracite coal mines for the month of Juno was $2.39 , again * t $3 33 last year. General trndo continues to improve and interviews with loading jobbers la various lines develops the fuct that the distribution of goods to data is largely in excess of any previous year , and the outlook is good for a very heuvy fall trade. Prices are steady. Sugar still sags , and is weak. Coffees are stronger and Hios advanced J o per pound Friday. Mackerel are very source and high. The crop prospects nro very encouraging nnd foreign advices point to an Increased de mand from abroad on account of the failure of crops In eastern Europe and India. OB Heal estate shows moro activity , and the building trades , having settled tholr potty quarrels , this branch of Industry displays great activity mid the movement Is favor ably felt by the retailers of the city , who report - port a very good demand and a noticeable increase In salos. The total value of the forelcn imports of merchandise nt Now York for the week end ing July 27 wns $194,131 m excess of the pre vious week. Dry goods showed nn increase of 711,8-10 , while general merchandise de creased $ ! 0,709. The total imports into Now York for 1889 to July 27 were $291.423- 473 , against $37(5 ( , (14,483 in 1883 and $473,395- 6(53 ( in 1887 , and the export ! ) of specie since January 1 , 1839. were $37,021,415 , and the Imports 4a9.353. The California fruit market Is gradually assuming more extensive pro | > ortions. 1'ho receipts In Chicago aveiann eight cars per day. Those nro sold without reserve by the two auction companies. In addition to the regular arrivals there have been u number of oars received by freight. The Jolly market is on the rise. The trust and outsldo manufacturers uro working without friction , aud as the two interests do not clash the increasing demand admits the obtaining of higher values. Largo sales have been made at 3o , but 3 > fa is now quoted nbout bottom for really good kinds. According to reports the run of salmon on the Columbia is very poor and best author ities do not expect thn puck to bo over KOO.OOO cases to August 1 , which would show n de crease as compared with Ib88 of aboutOO.COO cases. Tha manufacture of plcUles is ono of Iho few Industries in the United States , says the Chicago grocer , that has not fallen into the bnmis of a trust. Lust season the mflrkot was very much demoralized byan overproduction , and prices have been in the neighborhood of rock bottom over since. The amount ot stock hold over , while not large enough to causa nny alarm Just , yet , may bo tin import ant item in a few weeks when a dotlnitQ idea can bo formed of the maturing crop. So far as can bo learned the crop will be equal to that of last year. Hecclpts of both cod and mackerel con- tinuu light on the Atlantic coast and prices are firm. The demand is very slow com pared with the snmo time last year , and It looks very much as though something ulso was taking the place of salt iish with con sumers. Consumers of rico will bo glad to hear that the Louisiana rico crop la doing splendidly an an entirety , nnd if present wouthor con tinues tbo crop is likely to * be the largest ever produced within the borders of that state. Prices are reasonably low and sales of domestic rico are fairly largo. Coffee is weak , thn outlook promising n full crop. Tin. Urnzilllan estimates of u abort crop this year began to be promulgated when the coffee trees were In bloom und have persistently been kept up , but they were BO manifestly given out for speculative effect that they failed to bo fully convincing. The consumption of cofTco Iu Europe und the United States during the last twelve months is placed at 9,2(7,908 bags , against 8,052,220 the year before. Mr. Fowler , of Dan Tnlmages Sons , is in the city and reK | > rta that the prospects for cheap rice , both foreign and domestic , uro vor.v good , and thnt prices will go lower than lor years. The auction sales of California fruits nro to bo continued , nud the next will occur Au gust D , when fifty-six lots will bo sold by Poycko Bros. Company. 031AI1A. ItlVR Sl'OOIC. Cnnlc. Saturday , August 8. There was not much to say nbout the trade { n cattlo. Desirable beeves sold at strong prices , und the trade in such was fniily ac tive.

A few corn-fed Texan s brought $3.30. Butchers' stock was very scarce and tnero was liunlly enough to cut much llguro in tha market. There was aomo trading In feeders , and ns high ns $3,00 > vas paid for one hunch. The demand appears to bo largely for good cuttle of that kind , but the supply is light. Him * . There was not much change In the hog market , values remaining very much thu same , but there was an caslor feoliug preva lent In thu trade. The shipping demand was pretty fair , and Boston and Indianapolis bought about half of thu hogs. The tight hogs sold principally at fI.15(34.WK the heaviest buyer reporting his string as cost ing 2u less than yesterday , but the quality was not no good. Tbu late arrivals weru rather slow sale , and It was Imposslblo to gut ns strong prices as In the morning , $4.10 being about all the packers would pay.

[ Special Telegram to TUB Bnn.1 The wheat market averaged and modonUo spuculn- steady to-day only a tlvo business was dono. Operations In the cash wheat market were on a largo scale , lowovor , Just how largo nobody seems able .0 correctly or authoritatively stato. At ono tlmo It was advised , "on the quiet , " that now business to the extent of 500- 000 bushels had been or was In iroeess of being worked. Later in .ho day the amount was reduced to 350,000 bushels , and was supplemented by the state nent that vessel room had boon worked for 500,000 bushels ycstorday and to-day. As chimon wcro reported yesterday for 2.11,000 bushels nnd 100,000 bushels to-dnv this Inter may bo accepted nn approximately correct. Halter , Socket , Harvey < t Co. nnd Bortlott Grazer wore named as the principal bidders 'or cash wheat , and the prlco paid was X@ > o above August as a rulo. Wheat Bcomoa to bo wanted badly. Most of this Is through business. Cables leaned to the bull side. The weather In England Is not keeping as flno as was reported , nnd prices arc quoted is steady and In some cases higher. Aside from the activity in the cash wheat market , ocul nnd general domestic influences are Bearish. Crop nnd harvest advices from the northwest are coining in bettor nil the tlmo. Harvesting la progressing satisfactorily , and ns the farmers as a class are hard up this year , they are making ready to market their crops with ns little delay us tossiblo. Handlers of spring wheat hero ind through the northwest are making ar rangements for a big early harvest of grain it the weather keeps ( rood. Parties who are making a tour of Dakota and Minnesota are sending in tlio most favorable kind of ro- ; > urts of the yield of wheat nnd the prospects for oats , corn and barloy. The weather in the winter wheat country is improving , and except in the south Indications point to fair , warmer weather without many aliowcrs for the next few days. If these premises are fulfilled an increased move ment of wheat should naturally follow. Do- combur started in nt 78Vc , sold down to TS'tff and up again to TSJ/c. holding steady and dull mound "Stfc and 78c during the greutor part of the day. At last it wont to 7bKc@ SKc , then closed nt 78 , o or Identical with yesterday. September opened at 7flXc , sold down to 70 0 , and up to 7Gj c , closing at 70 c. August opened at 7IPc | , sold ott to 6c , up to 70c , and closed at 7GK@ ' 'c. As before remarked , cash said at a premium over August , and ono commibsion house reported sales of No. 3 to arrive this month within % o of the No. 2 price A year ago there was u wide differ ence beUveon grades iu prices. Sales of 85,000 bushels of No. 2 in store wore reported at 77c There was n good demand for cash corn , but at a lower range of prices than on Fri day , and in the speculative market the fuel ing was decidedly weak , and trading was not active. There is a growing amount of confi dence iu the pi aspects for the next crop , which , added to the increasing present sup plies , croatcd a weaker feeling. Ex port Inquiry keeps up to Its former level , and the consumptive demand from Now England and other do mestic points is likewise liberal and continu ous , while togotner they have so far kept down the visible supply to modest proportions tions in the face of the free movement from the countrv points. Prices suffered another slump , resulting from Jf to ' c per bushel , August closing at 35.i5 * c , against ! 10'u ( yesterday , and September at S5o , against itlin on the preceding day. In oats another active day in the specula tive branch was noted , with iccent influences again brought to bear ana prices exhibiting a further modest recession from J c to ) c. Outsldo selling orders were liboial , with trade chiefly in September and May. The sample market was again unsettled and lower. Receipts were large , while local stocks she vod but little reduction. September was down to 20J c , with December touching 22c nnd May declining to 24 } c. No. 2 white oats were dull nnd No. 2 regular sold early at 21c , but closed easy at COJjJc. In provisions the boar slao was regarded with the greatest favor. Lard was rela tively the strongest article on the list , but in general trade the underlying fooling was ono of weakness. The monthly stock showing a gain , raado the hear contingent ag gressive , and in short ribs particularly packers appeared to be willing to supply the wants of buyers. Short ribs , m fact , were the cuntor of interest and rather led the market. They opened at about yesterday's closing , sold off steadily and closed at a decline of TK lOc.

There was no bear demonstration anywhere , The advnnco in money rates was attributed to the with drawal bv the banks and trust companies of funds to strengthen balances , nnd , ns tbo lit tle flurry in money had no effect in weaken ing stocks , the bull party claimed n further victory. Chicago advices were full of argu ments that the conditions warrant bettor prices in St. PaulI3urllngton , Northwestern and Ilka shares.
