I v
I The Jobbing trade of Omaha ts experienc
ing the usual midsummer quiet. The move
ment of goo Is 11 about equal to thut of pro-
yloui years during the month of July , and
dealers have no can so to complain. July
Is really the ' 'between" season , too late for
trade In spring nndoarly summer iroods uud
too early for fall Roods. As a dealer put It ,
"wo uic now laying hack nnd letting business
run Itself , hut about the 10th of August wo
\vlll wnko up nnd start the ball rolling. "
Ttio orders coming In now are mostly
ntnall If for Immcdlato shipment , or
eiso they nro to bo held until later In
the season before being filled. The
country retail trade Is very conseivatlvo In
the matter of bui Ing , and though there nro
good crop prospects the crop Is not lot har
vested , and until then they ate not disposed
to tnko any chances.
Jobbers In the grocery line report n fair
tr.ido , In fact , a bettor trade than they nntlc-
'Ipatcd ' for this month. The sugar market
shows moro strength. ColToo has regained
what It lost about ton days ago. Dealers uro
of the opinion that there may bo higher prices
In coffco In the next month or two , but that on
account of the enormous Bnwlllmi crop cof
fco will bo cheaper during the latter part of
the ye.ir. The bettor grades of canned fruits
remain about the same , but the cheaper
grades and seconds nro n llttlo lower.
At Now York operations In bulk lots of
staple groceries continue somewhat Irregular ,
nml It Is not a market of general animation ,
nor do mtinv changes of n pronounced charac
ter como to light. The over noticeable tend
ency to take n hopeful view of matters con
tinues , however , nnd there Is scirccly an
article on the list for which owners
nro not predicting n bettor market dur
ing the month. Some admit the proba
bility of only n temporary Hurry , and
then a quiet spell until the fall trade sets In ,
but nil dependent custom must hatidln some
stock , It Is calculated , In order to keep
up wonting assortment. Sng.ir has thus far
been n llttlo slow , but the actual consumption
Is probably Increasing rather than diminish-
in i ? , anil the market for bulk lots open to a
i onowal of demand at any moment. ColToo
has many uncertain elements , though tha
average Inclination Is to look upon the posi
tion as pretty firm for n month or two at
lo.ist. Teas glvo hotter promise to holders ;
rice ts selling steadily , and thcro is some
tiopo for spices , but ns yet the call for
innlassos and syrups has failed to glvo good
satisfaction.
Omuhn's Jobbing trade Is reported fair for
diy goods nnd all that dealers expected for
the seubon. The Bulletin speaking of the
past week in- the dry goods trudo In New
York savs : The week's business has suf
fered fiom the Inlluonco of the holiday cele
bration of the "Fourth , " nnd the inactivity
Induced thereby In the days Immediately
preceding nnd following the holld.iv Itself.
There wus n considerable ) number of buj era
icsontln the miitkot In the early part of
J > week and again at thu close , but the at
tendance was small lu the interval between
!
thu ! two. Spot transactions were , on that
account , generally slow , and the aggregate
business recorded through these of indif
ferent extent. Orders by mall and wire
were , however , numerous daily , although ,
i1th the exception of nil prints , they were
confined to small lots as n rule. In dark prints
n stoutly demand of very fair proportions was
noted , and loading agents report business
In these ns being up to expectations.
Further prices were made during the wcok
on the same basis as these previously an -
nounccd. Fall gmghuns and dross goods
were in steady. If moderato request. For
seasonable styles of printed fabrics , glng-
bums nnd woven wash fabrics nnd all wool ,
worsted and cotton-warp drosa goods , there
was but a hand-to-mouth call nt 11 rat hands ,
nnd the Jobbing trade was decidedly quiet
computed with the previous week's'experi
ence. Business In domestics in commission
circles was generally quint. At the close of
the wcok the tnnn of the mnntot is steady.
Stocks of brown and bleached cottons In leadIng -
Ing makes are reported tn very fulr shape ,
yell style ginghams and dress gocds nro well
under orders , and the prospects for fall prints
nro encouraging. Trade reports from West
ern sections and collections there uro favora
ble , and a somowhnt bettor fooling Is stated
i prevailing in Southern sections.
riiuiTS.
The supply of California fruits has boon
Unlit on this market during the p.ist wcok.
California cherries have about plnved out ,
Oregon mid homo grown stock taking ihelr
place. The tendency of the market on
California fruit Is higher. Poaches
aio nnlvlng but tbo early Crawfords are not
expected to put in an appearance for about a
week or ton das yet.
Southern melons nro arriving qulto freely
but many of thorn are small and tha weather
ts too cool to make thntn sell readily.
The cool woatbor Is also Inter
fering with the movement of lemons
nnd stocks In the hunds of dealers are mostly
largo , which will tend to keep the in.irttct
down , The receipts of berries have been
fair , though there has been no very largo run.
Some very good blackberries h.ivo been com
Ing In the past week.
vronTAm.Ks.
The market on now potatoes is consider
ably lower than It was n week or two ago ,
but they mo Htlll commanding good pilcos.
Thcro Is some complaint on the part of local
prowors that the ho.ivy rains have damitrod
the early varieties , but the reports from all
over the country favor n heavy yield for the
cason.
COUNTIIV rnouuci : .
The market In country produce has not
shown any especially Inteiestlng feature *
during the past six days. Kggs have sold
right around I'J cents the most of the time ,
nnd n very considerable proportion of the
snles went at exactly that llgiiro.
The butter market luu boon low but the
demand has boon pjood at tlio
prices , the packers balng willing
to take all that came nt Do Sotno of tha top
packages wont to the retail trade ut a llttlo
moro money , but the demand from that
BOtirco was very limited.
The receipts of poultry have boon light nnd
the market has been fairly nctlvo nt Ilrm

* Claimants atul Attorneys.
It Is important that claimants under the
Indian depredations law should understand
that all contracts made by them with attor
neys were cancelled and annulled by that
net. Section 0 of the law explicitly savs
that "all contracts heretofore made for fees
and allowances to claimants' attorneys nro
hereby declared void , " and the secretary of
the treasury tn issuing warrants for judg
ments js required to make them payable
only to claimants , their lawful hi rs or other
representatives specified in the act , "except
so much thereof ns bhall bo allowed tao
claimants' attorneys by tbo court for prose
cuting said claim , which may bo paid direct
to such attorneys , " and the amount of the
allowance which shall be rnudo is spccillcrt ,
The Uaim agents and attorneys are making
a light on the law upon the ground that con
gress has no power to annul private con
tracts , ana hold that contracts involving a
contingent fee nro irrevocable. Claimants
who are thus informed should pay no atten
tion to it. Their obviously wlso and proper
course is to bo guided by the provlilons of
the law , which nro so plain and explicit
that no ono can err as to their mean
ing , and to pay no regard to op
inions or representations of men
whoso interest it is to defeat the intent of the
law. The evident purpose of congress in do-
elating contracts with attorneys void was to
protect claimants , and oven if it bo granted
that thoio is n question as to the power of
congress to do this , until that question is
judicially determined claimants will make a
mistake not to take the advantage which the
law allows them , and by failure to do so sub
ject themselves to the exactions of the
greedy claim ngcnU and attorneys. But it
is highly Drobablo that the power of con
gress In this matter will never bo tested in
the courts , since it is hardly to bo supposed
that the many able lawyers in congress
would have allowed so important a feature of
the Indian depredations act to remain in it if
thcio was a reasonable doubt regarding the
right of congress to so legislate.
The thing to be understood by claimants
under the above act Is that contracts made
with attorneys for fees ana allowance wore
rendered void by the act , and that they are
at liberty to place their claims in other hands
and to refuse in all respects to be bound by
such contracts.

There Is not ono .soldier in three who is en

A man who has served ninety days either

$12 and not less than ft ! pnr month.
The pension shall commence from the data
of the filing of tha application. It is not re

is the outgrowth of Injuries sustained in tbo
