I * lie Coal Fiiiiilne. The business situation In Omaha and the Country tributary to this market cannot be ald to have been materially altered during the past \voelt. Trade Is moving steadily Wonff Iho lines already noted two weeks ago and no now features of Importance have been developed. The condition of the crops In the country continues 'to ' bo the ruling factor In all lines 'of business. As the crop prospects are not all that cdtilj bo desired , thcro Is a strong tendency to drag In some linen , The rain * idurlng the earlier part of the past week did Some good and relieved the anxiety In some localities , but they were not general enough to produce any very noticeable effect upon Irade. Country merchants are expected to go rather slow In the matter of ordering riew goods until they are more certain as to the outcome of the corn crop. Whllo the conditions are such as would naturally produce a rather slow movement of goods , some lines of the jobbing trade are showing a good deal of activity. This Is the case of groceries , which are moving Very freely. Local grocery houses ore very busy filling orders. Country merchants ap pear * In many cases to have delayed buying until they have almost run out of certain lines nnd are obliged to stock * up again. Dry goods Is another branch of the whole- Bate trade In this city that Is particularly prosperous at the present time. Local dry goods jobbers report that the volume of business during the month of May exceeded the record of May , 1893. This Is accounted for very largely by the fact that a great many western retail merchants who "for merly bought In the cast are now com ing hero for their goads. A year ago at this tlmo the great de pression which has since spread over the Whole country was just commencing to make Hiclf felt. Whllo no section of the country bos escaped the effects of dull times , It Is safe to say that Omaha has held her own fully as well as any other city In the country. Whllo there has been a shrinkage in the volume of business thcr has hot been such a complete stagnation of all business enterprises as has been experienced by many cities. The bank clearings of the different cities go to prove that this Is a fact. During the greater portion of tlio year past Omaha's decrease has been less than the average decrease for the whole country and" much less than the decrease reported by neighboring cities. For the year 1893 Omaha showed a slight Increase "In clearings , as compared with 1892 , while th'o other cities in the northwest were mil lions Of dollars behind their records of the previous ydar. During the past two weeks 'Omaha has' not stood quite so' well In com parison with other cities. The clearings ' 'at this point last week showed a drop of % 27 per cent , ns against n decrease of 21 'percent for the whole country. At the same tlnio the decrease at Minneapolis was " 28 per cent , St. Paul , 32 per cent ; Denver , 35J Slbtix City. 21 ; St. Joseph , 22 , nnd Kan- 'sas OltyJ 18 lier Cent. Thus , whllo Omaha 'makes' better showing than the twin cities of Minnesota and Denver , she falls behind 'Sioux City , Kansas City and St. Joseph. u. Collections1" In" tlie Country have been very "fair , wlttcVtould , seem to Inillcato that monej > Js fairly easy. Thus far Omaha has been so fortunate 'as''lto' bscapo the disastrous effects of the 'trio ' miners' 'did notat mica spread to the ' 'As this' state ,1s surrounded on almost all .sides by coal mining districts- Is still pos sible tb , secure , some coal from different Quarters t'liat' have not yet felt the effects tdt U\p. \ stride's. , , From some of the smaller fltowjip .In , tlio state a scarcity of coal has been ' Deported. I'and In ona or two places opera- , , tlona. In , brick yards have been suspended . .from tliatfcause. ; , . , The shutting doym of factories In the east .Jias had the effect of stiffening up the mar- ikot Insamp.lines , especially Iron and steel , and consequently In soma articles of hard ware. There Is room , however , for con siderable advance In these lines before prices will bo back where they were a year ngo. AS DUN BKKS IT. Heavy Itiilns Ilnlp Triulo by Ansurlng' Crops Iimtrnil of Fnmlno , W. H. Iloberson , local manager for R. 6'Dun & ' do , , npenklng- trade conditions , ' ' 'says : "Tho local rains throughout the tttate the first of the week Htlmulatecl orders quite a good deal , and made the week bolter than fair , though there la llttlo boasting among dealers. "In Nebraska people are a good deal like barometers. Their apltlts rise nnd full with the weather. The long drouth caused a great Ucal of discouragement , especially among- farmers , and country meruhiiiUB wer llkcwlro apprehensive. The nilnfnll wan quite heavy In Home of the dryest nee- lions , and ft am a third to n half crop of wheat and oats Is expected now In several localities' 'where hope had been abandoned. Trade depends chiefly , linwever , 'upon the porn crop , , which may even yet bo Inrgp "lx > cally ret.\ll iriulu lmbyen iiulft.

"At South Omaha considerable ni prehen sion la felt over the effects tit ; ho coal striken and the packers nro facing the possibility of a temporary embarrassment for want of fuel. "At the banks the same doleful tain Is repeated. J'li-nty of funds but few bar- .rowet-j. Nearly everybody has nettled down 10 the opinion that , the summer will be wanting in financial results.

"Tho dullness of trade during the first days of lho > Week gnvb "way before the gen eral nltna , anil business showed u noticea ble Improvement during the. last few days , The extrcne ; dryness had rather dlscour- nRCfl iilercllnritH In the country , and the re ports of traveling men were not of n nat tering nature.

Taking It all In all , bus' Incus IK no biilter or no worse than might I'b * expected at this Hea 0n of the year , natter taking Into consideration all attend- tnR c.lrctiinxtani'es. Everything appears to depOJul on the weather at thin tlmo. From \IiQW on until September business men will ' Wittch with vacer anxiety the least change Mu the weather , favorable or unfavorable. "The trade ot Nebraska now dependn largely on rain , nnd a sulllclent quantity of molsturr means a good corn crop , and a Rood corn crbp means prosperity and cooil Ikuatnrss. ' The -acreage of thin cereal U larisor than It has ever been before , anil mvre Uian vor do the people realise the fact that corn In king.

The recent fear that the corn crop would be UumugcU wan unroononnblc In the extreme. had It been damaged to any appreciable extent there wan Btlll time for replanting , nrt'l , therefore , no cause for apprehension. Wo will undoubtedly have much dry weather between now and Beplember , nnd It may be that at times it will he lena Continued , but If we get a fair nhnre of rain there In little doubt but we Will have a peed crop of corn. Kcrchnntfl seem to realize the Importance of n good crop more than ever before , and the nllKhtost change In the weather at once effects buslnesH. It waa noted during the recent spell of dry weather , 'although tncre wad no Immediate danger , that merchants began cutting down their orders , and nome of them even withheld them. Traveling men In the Btntp reported that Immediately after the rain their trade Improvedi nnd merchant * Hccmcil more Inclined to purchase. > \ bile tills la well enough In Its way It Is really bad practice , A week or two of dry weather could not mar or make the crop , and there Is no rcnuon why a merchant should pur chase more liberally with a little rain , which will not have more than a mnnll nharc In the maklnir of the name , than he would ordinarily. There Is no doubt that the crop of Btnnll grain will be llpht , but beets have , not been damaged by frost to the extent at first reported. "Tho Omaha Fruit Auction company Bcems to be growing In' favor with cominlM- Klori men , uml It Is to be hoped that this Institution has come to stay. "Collections nre only fair. The transfer companies are unusually busy JUHI now , owing1 , no doubt , to the extra amount of goods shipped In under the reduced freight rates. " _ ' Toledo Uritlit Murknt.

CHICAGO , Juno 2. Excessive dullness was the feature In wheat today , July clos ing % c higher after a range of % c. Lack of offerings and rumors of the settlement of the coal strike caused the steadiness. July corn closed * /4c higher , July oats % c higher and provisions slightly lower all around. Trading In wheat was almost exclusively local and small at that. Opening trades wore at % c loss , and after selling up % c worked back U. advanced from % o to % c and closed at the top. The early cables and Argentine failures were Inclined to create an easy feeling at the start , but the market firmed up a little , being Influenced by the news from New York that a settlement of the coal strike was being arranged. This caused some of the room traders who sold early to cover later , and a prominent local trader was credited with moderate buying. There was very little crop news _ at hand , as was the case yesterday , but the south west was said to bo selling moderately hero today. Corn was very dull , but steady , within a range of % c. The steadiness of wheat held the price. Oats -were steady vlthln VSo range on moderate buying. July closed at the top. Provisions were weak early on HberaPhog receipts and lower prices at the yards. Trade was very dull and within a narrow range. Compared with last night , July pork Is lOc lower , July lard 2&c lower and July ribs 2'/5e lower.

NH\V YORK , Juno 2. A fairly BOOU" bus. IncM was tlone on the Stock oxchnnRO today for n Saturday , but two-thlnls of the trans actions were In three stocks. Sugar , Chicago a.is Alid St. Paul , the first named , as usual , liclnR the most prominent In the doallnRi. A good many orders to buy Sugar were on the board at the opening , and as but llttlo stock was offering , the shores moved up sharply-with an occasional reaction of 101 % , an advance of 3 % per cent from yesterday's closing .figures. The Improvement was ac companied by rumors that Sugar Interests had taken n favorable turn In Washington , but nothing dctlnlto was disclosed , The last sale was made within VI ! > er cent of the highest price of the day. The preferred stock rose 2 % per cent , to 95 , reacting to 94 i4 at the close. St. Paul was the only active of the granger group , fluctuating be tween CO and GB , and closing at yesterday's closing price. Burlington moved within the same narrow range , and closed unchanged from yesterday. Rock Island lost % per cent , Lead made a gain of l'/i per cent , and Texas Land % per cent. Declines were recorded of 1 % per cent In Tobacco , Hi per cent In United States Rubber , and 1 per cent In Richmond Terminal preferred. In the rest of the list changes were merely fractional , with a majority of the active shares slightly higher. The market , whtlo generally dull , was fairly firm during the two hours : of business , and closed steady In tone. The borfd market today was some what Irregular , but with a flrm undertone. The Evening Post says : Market news from this country's financial center con tinues to be made up of the blackboard operations , by a group of wealthy Stock ex change manipulators In a single stock. Today these experts marked up tno price-of Sugar certificates 3 points , nnd the gossips were accordingly busy with news which will never reach the newspapers with predictions by extremely Interested prophets , and with argu ments such as pass current only In specula tive Wall street.

Con ditions throughout the country have not ma terially Improved and the English market was not much If any better than It has been of late , while hot weather has not Increased Jho consumptive demand at home , In splto of these unfavorable circumstances , however , , the short supplies at all the leading mar kets of the country have made buyers pay a llttld more for Che cattle every day , and the week's advance amounts to ISo to 2Gc. The good medium nnd heavy cattle have shown more Improvement than UIQ light grades , the dullness In feeders militating against the latter. Buyers , too , have been discriminating against the half-fatted and grassy steers , and as a rule this class of cattle has sold very unsatisfactorily. SATURDAY'S TRADE GOOD. The market today was In very fair shape. Receipts were moderate and the quality , as a rule , very good , this being' particularly true of the heavier grades. The' lighter steers , or at least many of them , showed too much grass to suit buyers. The dressed beef men were out early after supplies , and started In bidding fully steady prices. A good Inquiry from outsiders and favorable reports from Chicago , however , soon In duced a ilrmer feeling , and the general mar ket was active at prices strong to a. dime higher than Friday. While this was true of the fait : to good stock , the under grades were more or less neglected , although prices were not quotably lower. There was a good tone to the trade 'throughout , and a good early clearance was made. Cows and heifers that suited the dressed beef men found a ready sale at good , flrm prices , while the common and canning grades were slow sale at rather weak" figures. This has been the general condition of the trade all week. Calves were In fair supply , not very good demand and easier. The mar ket for rough stock of all kinds was about steady. There was not much doing In stockers and feeders. Trade has been fairly good all week , however. The supply has dimin ished , the demand Increased and prices ad vanced lOc to 20c on all grades' Good to choice feeders are quoted at $3.003.40 ; fair to good at $2.7603.00 , and. the .c grades at from $2.7.5 down. REPRESENTATIVE SALES. . 'DRESSED HOG VALUES WELL SUSTAINED. With such ample supplies of hogs Itas hardly to bo expected that prices would hold up ; In fact'tho general sentiment la rather ono of surprise that the decline was as small as U turned but to be. Values today were not more than lOo to ICc lower than last Saturday , and Cc to lOc would cover the average , decline for the week. Asldo from the Increased receipts , comlH tlons have remained much the name a.1) ) during the greater part * of May nnd therq Is still nothing In. the situation to Indicate the future course -values. . I'ackera re port n very fair domestic demand for pro duct , but the export trade Is very slack at present. There Is a noticeable deterioration In Uio general quality ot the hogs now being mar keted. Receipts Include an unusually liberal prcportlon ot common light and light mixed ] hogs and qulto a few pigs. Heavy hogs are getting scarce , and SB a result are Belling at about a nickel premium over lights , al though the range of prices Is still com paratively narrow. The following table will show about how the average weight of the hcgs has run for tho'past eight years ; The supply today was the lightest ot tha week , with the exception of Monday , and the quality was about the same , aa on tha two or three- days immediately preceding. Local packers we.ro all after supllcs and there was a very fair demand tor shipping and speculative account. On account of the ample supplies , however , and the bearish tone to reports from both hogs and pro visions In Chicago , prices ruled about 5c Iow4-r than Friday all around. Fair to cholco butcher weight and heavy hogs sold at from $4.60 up to tl.GT'Xi and poor to choice light weights from $4.35 up to 14.G2V * . A very fair and early clearance was effected , thu big bulk of the. hogs selling at $1.15 and $4 CO , as against J1XO and l.55 Friday and $4.CO ono week ago today , IlBl'flESENTATIVK SALES : No. Av Hh.
