THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY/TUNE ( 21 , 189JL-SIXTEEN PAGES. 11' THE CONDITION OF TRADE , Everything Soema to Point to tbo Coming ol Great Prosperity , BOUNTIFUL CROPS ARE NOW CERTAIN , Jlalim oftlio T/.isi AVcnlc Have Itocn n Trlllo OntiKcrotiB , Hut Hot \Vcathcr Will Sjou Settle ) All. vThero may bo said to have been absolutely no change In the condition of the money mar ket the past weok. There has boon no un- fnvorablu reaction as n result of the heavy gold shipments , A good demand for money Is noticeable In local llnnncinl circles , but the money market Is not unduly stringent. The hanks almost invariably report the situation as "just about the same ns n week ago. " The heavy nnd continuous rains reported from all over this section have convinced the Jobbers that n tremendous crop Is assured , unless Indeed thcro may bo a superabun dance of moisture. Little uneasiness Is felt , however , on that score , and the prevailing opinion seems to bo that if the rains will let up now for n tlmo everything will bo well. The traveling salesmen for the wholesale houses say that thcra ni been too much rain In certain localities , and that corn U there fore backward. although to no great extent " is It drowned out. It has rooted deeply , and with a few hot days will shoot upward surprisingly. Small grain & . needs no more rain ; In.fact , dry weather Is now essential as harvest Is about to begin. The wholesale trade is reported ns very satisfactory , and in some lines , notably boots nnd shoes , Is better than n year ago at this time. Thcro Is , perhaps , no moro money In It now than then , as prices are much closer , nnd a heavier volume 'of business Is neces sary to give the same results. In tills line of trndo pri''es are llxed at the beginning of the season nnd nro not changed until the end , hence the Jobbers are comp - p < Hod to make the best of it , although realiz ing that with It they must look closely after nbnky customers. Fortunately there is a small percentage of this class of custom loft , ns the two poor seasons experienced have virtually driven them to the wall , and there Is n larger percentage of cash business than over before , while the remain der Is nearly all gilt edge credit. It has been necessary for Jobbers to grant extensions In many instances , but the outlook Is such LA to Inspire n fcclini ; of easiness and safety. Another bad year would , of course , have complicated matters to an alarming extent. Collections are a little dull , but the whole- > anlers are not raising any complaints on that - , Bcoro. / Country produce has found the market well supplied , although at no tlmo over loaded. The condition of the country roads has not prevented the deliv ery of enough to supply all demands. Kggs have hold nt 15 cents , and butter at 10 cents , but a tumble will bo taken from these prices within the next few days. New potatoes have held up surprisingly , and nro now quoted nt Sl.fiU. but the commission men expect to see the price cut exactly In two before the last of tin week. There Is a heavy early crop in sight , and It is headed inarketward. Fruit Is very plentiful and in good variety , and finds n ready market. " There Is a continued steadiness in the poultry - - try market , and prices remain unchanged. A 1 interest centers in the weather , nnd in the midst of the wet downpouring ntid the interchange of climatic procnostlcntloiis the weeds have continued to grow. They have obtained a good startin the corn fields , but have not as yet secured n sulll- cient start to interfere with the prospects of n tremendous crop. In speaking of the general extent to which the wet weather has prevailed , Mr Glass , who covers Utah and the surrounding terri tory for C. A. Coo & Co. , said : "Out there , where you might .say it never r.xins under ordinary circumstances , It has of late been ruining heavily , and it is very wet. Mining is the principal Industry out there , nnd farming is a secondary consideration , so the rain don't cute Important n figure ns It does in Nebraska. I came In Friday night tor the first tlmo this year , and crops in this state seem to promise wonderfully well. "Corn Is backward , but there nro some splendid fields of It between Omaha nnd the Colorado lino. " "Our men say that the farmers ns n whole feel very well , " said n hardware Jobber. I "Some who complained last year because It > . was too dry nro kicking now because it.Is too * * V wet , bat they wouldn't bo satisfied if they s _ could order the I weather day by day. V. "Our customers nro buying conservatively , But even In the sections where they had nothing last year thcro Is already a feeling of contldonco and the farmers are darting out in ns good shape us though nothing unfav orable had happened.

IfL'o You artist 1'ro'juro a Passport Ucloro f. caving The following Instructions have been la- sued by the department of state at Washing ton for the Information of persons seeking passports ; Passports are issued only to citizens of the United States , upon application , supported by proof of citucnship. Citizenship Is nc- ( jiiirod by birth , by naturalization and by an nexation of territory. An alien woman who marries a citizen of the United States thereby becomes a citizen. Minor children of the United States become citizens by the natural ization of thefr father. When tlio applicant Is a native citizen of the United States ho must transmit his own nflldavitof this tact , stating his ago and place of birth , with the certificate of oiio other cit izen of the United States to whom ho Is per sonally known , stntlnu that the dcclaiv.tion made by the applicant is true. The nflidavlt must bo attested by a notary public under his signature and seal of ofllco. When there is no notary in the place the uflidavit may bo made Doforo n justice of the pcauo or other oftlcor authorized to administer oaths : but If ho has no seal , his ofllcial act must bo authenticated by certifi cate of u court of record. A person born abroad who claims that his father was a native citizen of the United States must stiito in his aflldavit that his father was born in the United States , has resided therein und was a citizen of the same at the tlmo of the applicant's birth. The atlldavit must bo supported by that of ono other citizen ac quainted with the facts. If the applicant be a naturalized citizen , his certilicato of naturalization must bo transmitted for inspection ( it will bo re turned with the passport ) , and ho must state in his aflldavrt that he is the identical person described in the certilicate presented. Pass ports cannot bo issued to aliens who have only declared their Intention to become citi zens. Military service does not of Itself con fer citizenship. A person of alien birth , who has been honorably discharged from military service in the United States , but who has not been naturalized , should not tr.tusmlt his discharge papers in application for a passport , but should apply to the proper cour for admission to citizenship , and trans mit o certilicato of naturalization so ob- talmvl. ' 1'ho signature to the application and oath of allegiance should conform in orthogra phy to the applicant's nnmo ns written in the natura izatiou paper , which the department follows. Every applicant Is required to state his occupation and the place of his permanent legal residence , and to declare that ho pees abroad for temporary sojourn und Intends to return to the United States with the purpose of residing and performing the duties of citizenship therein. The wlfo or widow of n naturalized citizen must transmit , the naturalization certilicato of the husband , stating In her allldavit that she Is the wlfo or widow of the person do- scribcd therein. The children of n natur alized citizen , claiming citizenship through the father , must transmit the certilicato of naturalization of the father , stating In their nflldavits that t hey uro children of the person described therein , and were minors at the time of such naturalization. The oath of allegienco to the United States will bo required in all cases. The application should bo accompanied by a description of the person , stating the fol lowing particulars , viz : Ago _ years. Stature . feet . inches ( English measure ) . Forehead. . . , Eyes. . . . Nose . Mouth . Chin . Hair . Complexion . F : o . If the applicant is to bo accompanied by tils wife , minor children , or servants , it will be su Illcient to state the names and ages of such persons and their relationship to the ap plicant. when a single posjWiort for the whole will suflluo. For any other person In the party a separate passport will bo required. A. woman's passport may include- her minor children and servants. By act of congress approved March 2.1 , 1SSS , n foe of fl Is required to bo col lected for every citizen's passport. The amount in currency or postal note should ac company each application. Orders should bo payable to the disbursing clerk of the de partment of state. Drafts or checks are in convenient and undostrablo. A passport Is good for two years from its date and no longer , A now ono may bo ob tained by stating the date and number of the old one , paying the fee of SI , and furnishing satisfactory ovidcnco that tlio applicant is at the tlmo within the United States. The oath of allegiance must also bo trnnsmlttod when the former passport was Issued prior to 1S4I1. Citizens of the United States desiring to obtain passports while In a foreign country must apply to the chief diplomatic niprcsont- utlvo of tlio United Status In that country , or , In the absence of u diplomatic representa tive , then to the consul general , If there boone ono , or , In the absence of both the ollicors last named , to a consul , PassperUs cannot lawfully bo Issued by state authorities or by ludiclul or municipal functionaries of the United States. ( Uovised Statutes , bectlon1,075. . ) To persons wishing to obtain passports for themselves blank forms of application will be furnished by this do- ! > artiuent on request , stating whether the ap plicant bo u native or naturalized cltlion , or claims citizenship through the naturalization of husband or patent. Forms nro not fur nished , except in samples , to those who make a business of procuring passports , Communication ? should bo addressed to the department of stnto , Indorfod "passport dl- vUion , " and each communication should glvo the postofllco address ot the person to wnom .ho answer Is to bo dircciol. Profo-ihlonal .Hies will not bo Intoriud In passports. 1'oroo ol' llalilt. F yen the babies of Lincoln have a line sense of the eternal Illness of things.

Primes' summing for the week was rein suring for the general outcome , ami both pri vate and public cablegrams reported the Eng lish markets very weak at lower prices. It the face of such n combination of boarlsl points , however , there were so many buying orders In the pit at/ the opening that the price for July was un toOI'io almost Instantly , and It tarried only a mlnuto or two before making n further advance of Uo.

" runners on the llo. . from Indiana reported deteriora tion In the crop there ami Missouri reports were to the effect that the crop was laid and tangled by the heavy rains. The parties who had this Information early bought much July wheat around Uliie andOl " , the prices ad vanced later to 05'ic , and the same parties then became the freest sellers. Under the In fluence of these realising sales there was a drop Ionise but afresh batch of buy Ing orders came In and there was a quick upturn tod-Vic.

The stock market to day was Insignificant In every respect and ro- llectod only the waiting attitude of operators. the trading bolng extremely small and the fluctuations strictly In accordance. The for eigners were Inclined to buy , but the trading element was bearish and there was no disposi tion to trade by domestic operators. The feel ing abroad was Indicated by higher ( Inures In London this morning and this produced gen erally higher prk cs at the opening here which , however , were BOOH neutralized by the short sales by the trading clement. No material change occurred , however , and the expecta tion of a good bunk statement , which was not disappointed , developed a llrmor tone before the expiration of the first hour. I'r Ices were therefore brought up to a shade better than the opening figures and kept there for the re- malnderof the session. Lackawanna was the only feature of the day developing marked strength In the last hour , and moving up sharply on the buying of traders scored the only material gam of tlio day. Of the other stocks , St , Paul , Louisville , lliirlington and Chicago Kas were more active than the general list but failed to make moro than a s.lghi fractional advance. Silver cer tificates wore strong and active again. The bank statement met all expectations , making a reiuarkaDlo showing and served to keep the market firm to tlio oloso which was dull at the best prices but only slightly better than ovonlnc.
