made , which will bo published Iu a few days ,
and which may throw some Unlit on the
actual financial situation.
Tilt * J011I1IMI TllVlin
of Ornnhti during the past week has , as a
getiPr.il thine ' , , boon very satisfactory. A
CooiI many houses report a slight Increase Iu
the volume of trade as compared \vltli a yenr
n po , nnd Mill other houses report ft larger
Increase , amounting In some casci to a gain
ol 2(1 ( per ex-tit On the oilier hand a low
houses claim that there has been 'i slight de
crease In the amount of Roods sold bj them ,
but Ibis Is moro than made up by the gains of
other linns , so that It Is safe to sav that the
ut.olcsnlo trade of Omaha is fully as good as
It was durlirK the early part of May , IV.io.
The feeiini ; nmotic ' , the jobbers gc'tierully is
- r i. one of uontldcnco in the business situation
nnd thov are prepared to push trade for all
tin ro Is in in It. The reports of the country
ini-rchnnts nre most cncoura lm ; and indicate
a better condition throughout ttio state nl
laruu than mlKlit bo cencialh supposed to
exist The unusually lilfiti prices nt which
nil kinds of farm products are sellmi ; places
money In the farmers' hands , enabling them
to keep up their store accounts In fairly teed
ehape. In some sections of the state the fact
that the farmers are all atorl. . In the Holds
produces a slight decrease In the mo\cincut
of Koods
As to prices of standard goods In a whole-
snlo waj n di'i'llno of Co per Hoc ; is reported
on nails. The coffei1 mntkot Is Him nnd
li nps higher. The su ur market Is easier
with n decline of 'fcon , Lrinnulatcd. Some
Hinds of ill I oil fruits arc easier.
lOtATUl IIIOIIKK.
In country produce the changes In nriccs
luivo been slight on most in Holes , us In the
rnso of epKs which sold largely atU' ' e. It
is n noticeable fact th.it the eft , ' nmikot this
fiprtnc : has been vcrv liik'b as compared with
piovious vcais. A > ear ago a good many
CL'gs wore selling in this market tin lor lOc
nnd plenty of them \\nro placed In cold stor-
ugc at 8 ( lie. Tailing Into aucotint tlio num
ber of eggs produced In Kohiiiskn , this nd-
vnnco lias tcen of great advantage to the
Taimeis and met chants
The Ion ; ? looked-for Increase In the receipts
of butter has nt last put In an appotrance.
At the same time thoio was nn Imptovement
in the quality duo to now feed. At tlio close
of the week an easier fooling was noticeable
In the mntket and a decline must como bo-
foiomiui > days.Vhcnitiloos como dealers
expect to see the market drop verv rapidly
nnd shippers should beware of nllo\\Ing
blocks purchased at the present high prices to
accumulate on their hands.
The lecelpts of poultry have not been
largo , but at the snino tiinono\ery actho
nd has been dovclopcd nnd puces re-
about steady. 'Jheso pilecs , however ,
nioaltcady high , nnd that is undoubtedly
one ieison why thoiotclpts do not inoxo with
moro ficcdom.
The liny market has experienced a decided
bionk In prices duilngtho vtoolc , owing to the
large receipts and the accumulation of stocks.
The best upland buy has sold on truck at ? 11
per ton , n piottygood price * , but low to what
it was a week ago.
THE rilUITMAUKCT.
Ktrnwborrlos have received the most at
tention from do.ilord during the past week.
The arrivals have been fair , but the
quality has not averaged any too jrooa.
The quantity of inferior stock iceeived
has depressed tlio market even on good fruit
linn prices nuvo uecn low lor inu season 01
the jear. In fact they have been soiling
most too low to encourage shipments.V .1.
Shaw , oiio of the largest dealers Iu small
fruits In bt. Louis , was recently In this city
nnd thiow some light on the berry ( luostloii.
Ho remarked that the prospects for all Icimls
of smnll fruits In Missouri and Arkansas nro
the best in live ycnrs. Especially in St.
Louis county the prospects nro very Hatter-
Ing , stravvbeinoB being unusually largo for
the time of jear and thoj-will probably bo
on the market bv the t ! . " > th of this mouth.
I'ho recent frost Is said by grow en to nave
no some damage. This comity has
a i epntntlon all oi'or the country for
producing the finest bonics grown. The
jie.tch trees aio most too heavily loaded to
mme good fruit. The churry crop promises
to bo the largest iriowu iu eight j ears. The
small fruits In Vermont , Massachusetts and
poitiousof Now York have been Injured by
t frosts , but to what extent has not j ot been
ascertained.
VCOITAM.I .
The market has been well supplied with all
kinds of vegetables and no difficult } has been
experienced iu tilling shipping aiders. Doth
California and the south nro malting consign
ments to this market so that the offerings
hero Include a larco variety. Potatoes have
been selling lower this week owing to tbo
inoio liberal offerings.
SI'LCt'I.ATIVK \IIKRT4. .
The past week has seen onormou * scalping
trades on eacn side of the wticMt market at
Chicago. The general drift has been in favor
of our magnificent ciop prospects and the
beautiful weather , 'llio iiuukot closed lower
but not very weak.
Corn receipts nave been largo anil the mar
ket has given away under them , closing ut
the lowest price of the week.
Oats have been dull anil the mala trading
In them has boon in sjmpatbj * with corn and
w boat.
I'tovlslons compaiatlvely steady with great
liquidating of long bluff by outsiders and
lower markets in couscquenco.

The coinplotlon of the Rending Tonni-

bun tnuoiers to und from Philiulolpluu
every day , bii s tlio Press. Tlio number
of people on the lines of the Pennsyl
vania railroad who come to town every
ilny for business has multiplied ton-fold
Nvithin less than ton years. Now York
rallroadt , luivo had the same experience.
On the Now York , Now Haven & Hart
ford railtoad from Stamford to Now
York a club of daily travelers has boon
formed. The members pay for und en
joy the luxury of a special car , for which
each member pays the company $50
a year in addition to the regular
faro. This car is attached to the train
which leaves Stamford at 7:15 : o'clock
each morning , arriving at the Grand
Central station at 8 : < " > 0 o'clock , and ro-
Uirns at o.02 o'clock in the afternoon.
It is completely furnished with tables ,
seats , cards , wash stands , towels , Boap ,
etc. , thus glvingovory requisite desired.
And no person other than the members
of this \vhlf > t club , except upon invita
tion of one of the members , ih permitted
to ride in thin car , no matter how many
passengers there may bo on the train.
H is , for the time being , the perboual
