Tluiti Now.
Another wcok has rolled around nnd still
, the enormous trade which Omiiha Jobbers
have bcou enjoying shows no signs ot nbut-
Ing. Too number of merchants vlsltlne
Omnhn is considerably less than n week ago ,
ns tbo special attractions , sucti as the exposi
tion , drill , etc. , are over , but if they do not
como themselves they keep sondlne In their
orders. The majority of the Jobbing houses
nro pushed to fill orders. Some ot them
Jiavo put on extra holpnnd nearly all of them
nrovorklng over tlmo.
The railroads bavo nlno been crowded nnd
they hnvo been unable to deliver Roods with
the usual promptness. The platforms of the
freight depots have boon piled with shipments
nnd though the goods have boon forwarded
ns ranldly ns possible the jobbers have boon
lllllng ordcrj uven faster than the railroads
can cnrrv thorn out.
It Is snfo to y that trade at this Reason
of the year was never bettor and the pros-
liccts nra gcod lor the summer and tall ,
The upt'iirent reason for the present rush
Is to DC found lit the fuel that rotall doalrrs
boiiplit sparingly during the early spring.
Ho lontr DH the wanthcrvas EO unfavorable
ns to endanger tlio ncason's crops merchants
aid n. lfiinri-to-moutb business. They allowed
tlictr stocks to run down to the very lowest
notch possible and only placed fresh orders
os they wcro comoolled to , nnd then very
small ones.
Now that the conditions have changed ,
bringing a good trade with excellent pros
pects for tno balance of the summer nnd fall ,
the retail merchants all want goods , nnd
they want-them quick. Hcucotho pront
majority of the orders nro accompanied with
on urgent request that they bo tilled at once.
It Is this urgency that rushes the Jobbers
nnd crowds luo freight departments ot the
railroads.
Whllo this condition of business means lots
of work it is at the sumo time very satisfac
tory , us there Is nothing th&t a Jobber lilies
bettor than to bo rusnca with order * .
Another ngrncablo feature connected with
the Jobbing trade at present is that collec
tions nro good. It is sometimes moro easy to
sell goods than to collect the pay for them ,
but at the present tlmo the retail merchants
nro generally meeting their obligations with
promptness.
The amount of farm products held until
late In the spring , nnd the good prices at
which n\ } \ cereals tuivo been soiling , has
tnido money comparatively easy In the
country.
Omalm'H llctnll Tnide.
In Omaha the rotall tmdo also shows an
linprovemont ever what it was a few weeks
ngo. The setting on foot of various enter
prises usual during the summer months has
furnished work for a good many mon who
Invo been idle during the winter und early
siinnff and a good proportion of their wages
B'ICS to swell the business of the retailer.
The building trades ate moro active and
n largo number 6f men are llndinjr employ
ment in that lino. Dealers In lumber , brick ,
etonc , paints , cto. , nil report a revival of
trado. There is no proal rush but n , very
gratifying incrcako in the volume of trade
over that of a few weeks ago.
The Miiiinlncttircra
of the city nro generally busy , the demand
for goods being active. There has been a
marked Improvement in the demand for the
product of local factories which is loading to
the employment , of n good many additional
men. It will bo necessary to Increase a
peed many plants in tbo near future If the
demand beeps up.
HOW 1 > UN SUES It.
IVIiotc.vilo nnit Knt.ill Tnulo In Omuha
Very Good for tho'Hcason.
\V. H. Uoberson , manager of the mercan
tile agency of K. Q. Dun & Co. , maioa the
following statements regarding trade In
Omaha for tbo past weak :
Hotall trade has boon fair In dry goods ,
groceries , hardware and furniture , but dull
in most other lines.
Thojobbing bousoa generally report n good
week. Dry goods , excellent ; ooots and
shoes , bettor than last wcok ; drugs , good ;
pioccrics , holding thclrown ; clothing , starts
In well for fall trudo ; hats and caps , better
than expected ; produce commission , quint ;
lumber , only fair ; hardware , both shelf ana
heavy , exceptionally prosperous , anil jobbing
in all lines better than a year ago , with u
fair promi'o for June.
Tlio banks an report more money man
needed and good loans hard to get. Hales of
Interest nro lower than over before known iu
.She stale with largo inquiry for good local
iCcunties.
The unusual feature of the situation was
the purchase by a local bank of $100,000 In
6 per cent city bonds , nt a high premium , us
on investment. Hitherto city and county
( securities bearing oven li per cent interest
found no marlccl west of Chicago.
As illustrating Iho remarkable movement
of business westward comes the announce
ment thai a largo retail house has.about con
cluded negotiations for the purchase of
ground nt the rorner of Seventeenth and
.Douglas upon which to erect a largo building
lor Us accommodation. Taken In connection
with tbo rumored construction of n largo
hotel on Faruuin street , a block still further
west , this movement Is slgniticunt.
The hot weather has Increased tbo demand
for smoked meats and South Omaha packers
report a largely increased trade In this line.
The receipts of cattle huvo not bcqn large ,
but bogs are coming In In largo numbers and
prices are very high. Ciittlo nro too high to
attract purchasers of feeders und stocliors
nnd ns a consequence there is little demand
mudo upon surplus funds In banks at South
Omaha. In sptto of the high prices , tow-
cvor , the packers have made largo purchases
nnd ono house is forced to Kansas City for
catllo to meat Its do.nnmls. The improve
ments nt South Omaha indicate iho faith ot
thu hoavv packers and stock yards company
in the tuturo of that city. Tbo now house of
the U. H. Hammond company ls under roof ,
Tbo Omaha company has tested ono of its

A decided change has bjon experienced In
the real estate mnrKot in ono" respect at least.
Not many months ago there was a feeling
among prospective buyer. ) that there was no
occasion for haste , that bv watting the
chances were good , for gotllng the property
at a lower liguro.
That idea no longer oxhts , but in Its place
there is a foollne that property has touched
a point lower than it will over reach again ,
and that now the moro tlmo a wouid-ba pur
chaser consumes la looking around the moro
bo will have to pay for proparty when ho
dojcs buy.
Tbero is considerable property changing
hands but mostly In n small way. The num
ber of really important sales Is small. Tha
damnnd for property comes almost entirely
from people wanting It to build homos upon ,
and accordingly almost cvory sale moans anew
now building of some sort or other.
There have boon a few good sales of busi
ness property which was also wanted tSv Im
provement.
As previously noted there Is very little
apeculu'.lvoibuyintr , but that always follows
In the waka of an active demand fornroporty
for improvement. As soon as speculators
are convinced that the property will bo in
domand. for building purposes they will bo
quick to pick it up and take advantage of the
advance in values.
The result of the election on the Nebraska
Central proposition has helped to strengthen
the confidence in Omaha re'alty nnd dealers
report moro Inquiry for property than a wRelr.
ago. Some idea of Iho amount of business
doing in real estate may bo gained from the
fact thut the transfers since June 1 have
averaged over 137,000 per day.

The present summer will see a number of
fine business blocks erected In Omaha.
There is some Inquiry for aero property.

CmcAno , III. . Juno 23 , The derby par
alyzed tr.ulobn 'chnnso toilny , anJ the di
rectors readily closed the session forty-Bvo
minutes before tlio usual liour.
There was n poor uxcii.su for a whost market
most of llio session. The principal matters to
consider wore thn weather , the harvesting
reports , nuil the probabilities ot the nntt-
option bill. Nona of thcso contained any
thing to change prices much. Fluctuations
\veru conllnod to from > jc to ? io rmige , and
the closing was about 'jo lower than yester
day ,
Tlio corn market was not quite so narrow as
wheat. What action there was occurred the
first hour. The icco pU , owliu probably to
railroad washouts , fell considerably under
the estimate : it .Ml cars for the day. The
Brad tig was not Improved , with only forty-
four curs contract corn ,
First trades wore nt about the dual figures
of yesterday. Upontho ( Illlng ot a tow orders
which came In the market tinned tip He , but
reacted fcom fie to ? ; e , a local operator sup
posed to bo Interested In thn Ion : sldo selling
freely of September. July sympathized In the
decline. The market uuulti rallied , and ut tlio
close July bud gullied froui ! , u to Mo and siop-
tcmbLT but u fraction.
Oats closed from ! o to f c lower otwthc near
futures anil about stcadv on the deferred de
liveries. Trade was featureless.

The demand wus remarkable from llm to
lust and "huolfer nus were light. AVhllopor

advance was nut In Kceplni : with lard , usually
the slowest thin ; : on the 1I.-U. The receipts of
hogs \\ero llttlit , which may huvo encouraged
the buyers for tSn lone account and caused
Eamu buying also for shorts.
Luke rates were rather slow. The rnpld

petting to the elevators to load. Kates held
steady at'Jo for wheat and l u for corn to

CIIICARO. III. , June 23. Counsolman & Dav
to CocUiell Hros. : Wheat ruled extremely dull
after a little curly solllnz by St. Louis und
Mliinoipolis and seme buying by I'urdrldgo
and New York. The anti-option terror has
seized speculators , auU nnto-hai'vost InilllTcr-
cnce pos > esses shippers. The market closed
( inlet and about unchanged. Contract grades
of corn and outs uru Bearco nnd II r inly hold ,
but shippers huvo been freely supplied
from liberal arrivals ot low Crudes.
Crop prosuecls nro bwlow the average und
wo think Iho market In a condition to sell
much hlL'hor on any diminution of current
roooipts. 1'rovlslons nro In better demand for
shipment und export und outside speculative
holders are Increasing their linesbut as puc'-c-
'ers ' lire steadily mooting both clashes of buy
ers It scorns iMllcult to not much moro ud-
vunco In prices at present. In fuel the mar
ket looks a little tlro'l this wcok , ulthoir.-h.tho
locul crowd In ribs have succeeded lu estab
lishing higher prices.
OniCAao , 111. , Juno 25. 1O. . Logan & Co. ,
to Duncan , UollInKor& Co. : Our wheat mar
ket today bus been of a holiday character ,
July opened at 7bUc , sold us high us 78'/c to
78Jj und closed at 7Sjc to 7t > ! { c. TnoKCiiorul
trade feels the Inlluence of the widely adver
tised bearish conditions of u surplus of 70,00.- '
OJU bushelii ot who'it leftover from lust crop
and the prospect of a crop which. If not
equal to lust your , promises to bo
ubovo the average for the elcht years
preceding 1891. Future values are dependent
entirely on our export demand after our crop
is secured. Tbo Hutch bill keeps the trade In
suspense. Corn is strong , wo bollovo op ull
breaks that It is a safe purchase. Business In
oats Is unimportant. llO4 product Is .steady. '
The rocolpUof hozs are light , should they
continue light prices will u-o hUher.
CHICAGO , III. , Jnnu-5. Konnott. Hopkins &
Co. to S. A , MaWhortor : With continued
houvy receipts und decreasing exports It is
expected thut thu visible supply of wheat will
show little ehanpo on Monday. In fact It Is
not expected that our stocks will diminish
materially before the now crop begins to
move , and n rapid Increase In them Is looked
for. Domestic Hour trade for u fortnight has
been iinnriuully f luck , ulTcctod no doubt by
the hurvoit now In progress and already lln-
Islied In iho southern states. Occasionally
some country trader Ions of whout
bobs up und Insists that the crop outlook Is
wretched. Hut reports from dlslnteroitcd
sources are generally favorable , I'rlino wiys
that conditions In the northwest are fully us
fiivorublo for spring wheat as lust your. The
market lias boon dull and foutuielcss , with
more talk about thoUorhy this afternoon than
anything else. Corn and oats have partici
pated In the gencrul dullness. Hut for the
purchases for u prominent local trader corn
would doubtless have sold lower , despite re
ceipts falling below expectations In consequence
quence of railroad washouts. Oali are stub
born and hivva u eood many friends who think
thorn relatively oho.ip und a purchase on all
soft Rpnls. 1'rovlslons are llrm to strong , espe
cially for ribs. It cannot bo possible to manu
facture at u prollt. with ho s ut these hlzh
prices , .ind It would soeni thut they must
either decline or provisions advance to nn
equality.

"Commodoro Folger , " said Mr. Sims , "is

all the requirements for n porfeot destroyer.
The combination furnishes all the dcadlinoss ,

There Is a quiet effort on loot among the
friends ofV. . H , Irvine , now cotitlucd In Iho
county Jail on the charco of murdering U. K.
Montgomery , to secure his rclcas < ) on ball
pending his trial nt the next term of the dis
trict court. Whllo it appears to bo the nro-
vailing belief that n man charged with the
crime of murder cannot oo liberated on ball ,
Irvine's friends claim to have discovered u
clause In the Nebraska statutes that will
give him his liberty temporarily. Several
prominent citizens have offered to go on his
bonds in nny uiuount , but his imnicdiato ad
visors have refused to lend countenance to
the proposal.
As tlmo ( .oos by now facts concerning the
tragedy are coming to light. It is now
known that when Irvleo paid his first visit
to Lincoln and here learned of his wife's
journey to Chicago hoaskod her by telegraph
the name of thn hotel she stopped at In Chi
cago. She wired back at once thut iho
stopped at thu Grand Pacific. Irvine then
telegraphed to tho'managomcut of the Grand
Paclllc and received an answer to the effect
that Mrs , Irvine bad not registered at that
hotel on the date named. Armed with these
telegrams the suspicious husband started for
Chicago. Among the papers taken from him
after the tragedy was u loaf from the regis
ter of the Hotel Grace at Chicago. On this
page was the name "Mrs. J. II. Miller ,
Princeton , Ind. , " In his wife's familiar
handwriting. On the same page a few lines
bolo\v was the name "C. E. Montgomery ,
