' The r > a t week 1ms gencnxlly been very
satisfactory to the Jobbers , who are report-
hid a good hc.iltliy business. There Is no
i rush , but just a good steady demand for
I goods of nil kinds. As a matter of fact a
| good many merchants uro Inclined to bo very
j conservative In the mutter of placing orders ,
I preforjlng to Jllo now orders If trade should
Mirovo better than anticipated rather tlmn
'
'rtm the risk of loading their shelves with
goods foe which there might bo no demand.
Just at the present time trade In the
country Is dull. The fanners nro busy nnd
do not nppcar to bo buying anything except
the bnro necessities of Hfo. Some rotnll
i merchants report that they have never seen
i business In their towns any more qiilet than
| , It Is atthe present time. At the
i sumo tlmo thcro Is n large amount of
.produce . still In the hands of farmers
j which Is still to bo marketed , nnd which will
Insure a fair supply of money In the country.
1 On the top of this Is n very good prospect of
a largo corn crop for this fall , the recent
rains having removed the fears of a drouth.
A merchant remarked with everything up to
date In good shape nu with future prospects
encouraging there was nothing In the pros-
, cut situation to complain about.
, The produce market of the past week has
1 been rather slow for some reason not easily
explained , nutter has been In light supply
to what would naturally bo expected for this
season of the year , but at the same time
prices have not been very flrm. The great
bulk of the stock received is too poor to bo
sold direct to the city trade , " but has to bo
dlsposcdgof to the packers nnd nt packers'
prices.
Kggs are coming In very freely , but the
marltot has been without other noteworthy
feature. Some eggs nro being shipped and
some nro being put in cold storage , out
there is n tendency on the part of stocks td
accumulate.
The receipts of chickens have been licht ,
and the market 1ms been firmer on old hens.
Kccclpts have met with quite ready sale ,
nnd the market has been very satisfactory
1 BO far as prices are concerned.
There has been n fair trade in green veg
etables but the local gardeners are com-
' menclng to supply the trade in a good many
lines which shut off the commission business
to u certain extent.
. Tne supply of strawberries lias been
rather uneven and prices have shown a wide
range. The only car lots that have been on
the market came from Arkansas , but Mis
souri berries are commencing to arrive In
small lots. Tbo latter stock has been very
choice and has commanded good prices.

The bank clearings for the past wcelc
show n total very close to that of the pre
vious week. If the bank clearings are any
indication of the condition of business there
would seem to bo very little cause for com
plaint as there is a gain over the correspond
ing time last year amounting to over 'J'J per

How tbo Situation U Weighed by nil Kx-
port In the ItntlneM.
Mr. W. 11. Ilpbcrson , Omaha manager of
11. G. Dun & Co. , speakiiiR of trade during
just week says :
"Tbo weather has ngaln interfered with
local retail trade and to some extent
lias effected sales in the wholesale
district. In financial circles the feeling
Is easier , though there is still
apprehension. Banks nro malting no loans
to speak of and are requiring many cus
tomers to reduce their linesf This is caus
ing somu distress , as country collections are
not.iulto | up to the standard , The llnanclai
stress is felt in every line of trade to lli :
greater or less degree ; in some more
than in others. Bunkers in discussing
thu situation take two views of conditions.
, Ono line of thought Is that thcro can bo no
relief without seine legislation which will
' restore confidence throughout the country.
'Somo of our best financiers Insist that
the silver situation Is thu main cause of
trouble and they argue that nothing but ufn
'repeal of the Sherman bill will give relief ,
Other bankers equally skilled and equally
well Informed think the silver buntiment Is
Jmeroly an Incident and that the al
trouble lies in thu fact thnt wo va
suddenly come to the point where
the boom Institutions ron
uro
com
pelled to liiiildnto | and that this causes tin )
present financial distress. The old-tlmo
conservative banks are unharmed by the
collapses which have been recorded. The
general condition of the country could not bu
better , and > f people were only convinced
of this fact "deposits , which have increased
somewhat during the past week , would con
tinue to and thu Hinil
improve normal condition
of affairs bo restored. Very llttlo money
has been withdrawn from deposits in this
city except what has gone to the country
banks. These havn apparently considered
the situation grrfvo enough to warrant them
in bringing homo their resources so as to
have them available in the event of ny
financial emergency , nyX
"Tho Manufacturers
and Consumers !
' exposition -
position has had n hurd week for its open !
ing , but the exhibit is better than that of fa
year ago and shows that manufacturers ro
moro deeply interested than over in lie
campaign of homo Industry. During boSS
romiuir week the morchnnls
and business !
men from the Interior who will bo
the guests of the Commercial club will it-
tend , and there Is every reason to expect
thnt from this time forward the exhibit will
draw larger crowds nnd bo moro interesting
than over , Our merchants do not half ap
preciate the exhibition , and it would pay
every business man In this city to Invite his ;
' neighbor to go merely to educate that
neighbor to thu importruco of the manu
facturing industries of the state.
"Liocal trade among retail' dealers has '
been rocky , and many of the merchants ire
considerably discouraged over the Immedi
ate prospects ' , Those who have been dlIn
business'hero for a long period , however ,
are complacent enough , us they understand
that this period of .depression Is certain
to pass away nnd bo followed by good
times. I was talking with one of tho'oldest
retail grocers in this city the other day who
was complaining of collections. I asked him >
about what his average losses weru in his
business during thu nineteen years and hu
surprised me by saying one-half of t 1
per cent. I hud suuposed his losses would
exceed-ltf ) per cent because ho has generally
been liberal In extending credit and carried
n great many people who were touched with
the boom. This , taken in connection with
thu expcrlt'iico of ono of our leading dry
goods houses , which lost but 3,500 in ton
years , upcuks well for tbo general honesty of
the community , "

CHICAGO , 111. , May 27. A decrease of not
over 600,000 , bu. Is e.xpcctcd Monday in the vis
ible simply of wheat. This fact coupled with
the Increasing receipts nnd the bettor weather
gave a bearish cast to the grain market today.
Compared with last night , wheat Is Uc off ;
corn from c to ? c nnd oats ! { c. The clique
permitted pork to drop back 55c. Other bog
products are about unchanged.
Wheat opened about ! { e lower , then followed
with from He to ! { c advance , again became
weaker and prices declined Me and the closing
wasea y. The weak nnd low opening was
somewhat duo to the break In railroad stocks ,
together with dull and easier cables. Thcro
was good buying at the decline , Duluth send
ing In some buying orders nnd St. Louis also
bought fairly , the latter buylngon the strength
of export demand for winter wheat on French
account. As soon as the buying ceased tbo
market again cased off under free offerings.
llusslan crop news was more favorable through
some botirces and bad through others.
Corn at the start was weaker nnd opening
trades were nt ! { c decline. Then u steadier
tone was manifested , but the market aiatn
ruled weaker and at the close had lost from
J4c to ? e. The receipts today were considera
bly In excess of the predictions 027 cars com
ing In , 420 of the same grading and for Mon
day 775 cars nro estimated.
The feature of the oats market was selling
of May and Juno by shippers who had seine
loft
lots.Tho
The bogs were short at 4,500 and gave
the market a little bulge nt the opening. Un
this : bulge Wright began selling pork and kept
on whllo thcro was any demand , disposing of
about 3,000 hbl . Lard and ribs were stag
nant. : The closu was at about Inside prices.

NEW YonK , May , ,27 * . Speculation at the
Stock exchange opened.wcak under the Influ
ence of lower cables frbm a10
London and In the
first ten minutes Of business prices declined
from ! < to U per cent right through the list.
Distilling land Cattlofoedlng , however , cut
away and moved gradually to loy st
tdVt at the opening. The general market at
this time showed some disposition to rally and
the early losses were recovered In most In
stances. The Improved feeling did not list
long , however , for General Electric displayed
marked weakness and broke from 71f ! to 05 ,
This sharp decline affected the whole list
adversely wlucn oven tue favorable bunk
statement with Its Increase In surplus reserve
fulled to check , The depression of General
Electric Is attracting attention und no satis
factory reason has as yet been given for the
shrinkage In the prices. Assurances are given
that the rate of dividends will be continued
and tbo street Is In
dally receipt of what pur
ports to bo soml-otllclul statements of the
favorable condition of the company. In the
meantime the bear crowd Is hammering the
securities of the concern , and today Its deben-
tures dropped 5 per cent to 84. nn
In the general list Interior Conduit and In
solation company declined 2 per cent to 45 ,
Cordage preferred 3 jier cent to 45 and Con
solidated Gas 2 percent to 120 , cx-dlvldcnd.
The decline otherwise was Cfjual to from } < id.to
'i per cent. At the close prices were at or
near the lowest of the day. In the final trad
ing the innrkctwas- weakened by thecontlnued
strength of sterling exchange , rates having
been ut about the opening and by the un- ,
nouncement that $1.000,000 gold hail already
been engaged for export to Europe for Tues
day or Wednesday next , Tliu market closed
genorully weak ,
The Post says : The specific reason assigned
for the weakness In Wall street today wus the
news of further gold engagements for hot
week apparently on purely commercial
transactions , which , Indeed , us noted yester
day , uro still justified by the current rates for
sterling. The statement of tlio bank reserves ,
103 , although showing. material gains , was not
as heavy us the moro hopeful element In Wall
street had predicted. Reading stock was '
among tlio special points of weakness ut the
last , the delay In Issuing the reorganization

lias been from 25c to 35c , t lie good heavy OS
showing rather [ moro Improvement than the

better export demand. The good cattle have
been coming forward ipitto freely , and the

lions Tlio nmrkot for the week started out
rather favorably , and on Monday and Tuesday
prices advanced about 16c. Wednesday's run
wus thu heaviest In over ten months , nnd the
market experienced the worst brenk In the
history of the yurds , Prices went off 26e to
40c , and on Thursday there wus u further
break of 15c to 20c , making a 60c to OOc drop
In two days. Since then , with light supplies ,
some of this decline bus been regained , but.
the week closes with prices fully 25c lower
tliiin a week ago. Them Is no Indication of
Increased marketings of hogs , although under
favorable circumstances there may he an oc
casional , excessive run as was thu case on
Wednesday. Everything points to continued
moderate , not to say light , supplies for some
time , and under the circumstances a perma
nently bad market need not bo expected for
some months. On this Mibjcct thu I'rlce Cur
rent remarks : "It Is quite likely that the
light lecclpts are In some nensure due to
the fact that farmers have been especially
busy the past week , under the favorable
weather generally prevailing. Hut the ovl-
denco of positive shortage In the supply In the
country Is too plain to admit of the view that
the current small movement Is to be followed
by an especially liberal supnly at any time for
months to come , With this Is the Increased
confidence In the mulntcnuco of prices for
hogs , which will tend to prevent undue hurry
ing of slock Into market.
The market today was active and generally
all of a dime higher than Friday on all grades.
.Supplies were considerably lighter than an
ticipated fully 2,000 lighter I him a week ago.
Including over 1,000 cut lie held over from Fri
day , tlicru wcro close onto 4,000 bogs on sale ,
the ( iimllty about up to the recent average.
Thcro was a good shipping demand , which
took one-half of the fresh olVerlnes , und fre.sh
meat men were fulr buyers. Packers
were very slow to l iy the ( advance , and
bought .very sparingly. The best bogs
weighing all the way from 105 to 342 pounds ,
sold nt (0.05 and $7 , with the ordinary grades
mostly nt (0.00 , and common rough and mixed
stuff ut JO.HO. Early tradlmrwus brisk , but , us
usual , us .soon us shippers and fresh meal men ,
having filled their orders , dropped out , the
market closed weak with a few loads still un
sold. The big bulk of the trading , was ut
(0.90 and $0.95 , as ugalnst $0.80 and $0.85
Friday , rind from $7.16 to $7.20 on lasttiutur-
day. Jtepresentativo sales :

Nose blued , which \ qtitto lUHistml In
old n o , Is frcqtlontly ohsorved during
'
the yenrs of ] ) Uborty. 'H may bo brought
on by \nrioly of cniisos , und npponr nf-
tor n sunstroke or a sudtloti clinn o in
the toiiipcrntiiro or ntino iilicrlo jtrcs-
sure , or uy a blow in the region of tlio
nose , It can also appeal1 at the begin
ning of tyjihold fovcr or inciiHlos or
during an attack of articular rheuma
tism. Diseases charat'torl/.cd by an al
teration of the blood render the pationta
particularly liable to nose bleed : this
is the case with diseases of the
Hvor , spleen and kidneys. Tlio pro-
vontlvo trcattnentof bleeding at the nose
consists in the medication of the com
plaint under tbo dopundenco of which It
appears ; but to check the hemorrhage
itself when it has once appeared , the
simplest means are the application of
cold cloths to the face or injections of
hot water In the nasal fossiu. In moro
tenacious cases it is well to resort to
direct prossuro. by Introducing the lin
ger as far as possible Into the nostril , or
else to plug the nasal fossa. ' as accurately
as can bo done.
H nmyhappeuho\voverthat these dif
ferent methods fall , and thnt the abund
ance and persistency of tbo bleeding
eonstHuto an actual danger. Utldor
thcso circumstances it will bo advisable
to use antlpyrlne. which , according to a
writer In thu Now York Herald , hha
succeeded In the hands of M.
Gueitot of Larochc-cn-Hroull In the most
unexpected manner. This method ,
which ho has used for over two years
now , has never failed. It consists In
snilllng up or Injecting into the nose u
solution ol antlpyrino , ono in live. With
grown persons it is easy enough , but
with young and fractious children it Is
necessary tolmvo the bead bold tightly
and bent fonvurd whllo tbo ( solution is
injected into the nose , the mouth being
kept open. When this is done tbo nos
trils should bo closed with the lingers to
prevent tbo liquid coming back at once
This method is extremely simple and If
it turns out to bo as clllcacious as Mr.
Gucnot claims It to bo it will soon bo
the regular treatment of noses.
