THE OMAHA DATLY flEJfWSUNDA ir , JULY22 * 1894 , 15 Volnmo of Business In a Jobbing Wny Shows Little Change. CCLLECTIONS VERY FAIR FOR THE SEASON Much Needed Itiilii.in the Umintry Produces n Hotter reeling Among itlrrclmnt * of All UIIIMM I-'rult Market I'ruc- tlrully Hum All tliu UVck. In a general way tlio past week has not wltnes.-ed miioti change In tlio local Bitun- tlon as affecting tlio Jobbing trade. Tlio quieting down of ttio labor troubles on tlio different lines of railroad nml tlio resump tion of traffic In most sections of Hie coun try lias naturally bail a beneficial effect. TravellnB men who were stranded nt differ ent points , or who were afraid to start out until tlio trouble was over , arc now making tholr territory and calling upon their trade with the uiual regularity. 1'ubllo apprehon- nlon of tnoro serious troubles to como lias died out and the country Is generally In bet ter shape to do business. Just before the breaking out of the strike on the railroads condition ! appeared to bo Improving , and tlicro wcro great hopes that the long expected recovery of trade was about to set In. The coal strikes had been settled and tlicro appeared to bo nothing In the way of Improvement excepting the tariff struggle In Washington. Then came the great railroad strike just at the right moment to smother returning conlldonco and put a stop to all Improvement. Wlillo the fctrlko has practically ended , there Is no doubt but what It has made serious Inroads upon the volume of summer business and tlmt a good deal of the loss will never be , nmdo up. i Tlio dry weather of the past week has been a disturbing clement In local trade circle * , but fortunately this cause for dis trust has been largely eliminated. Light ' nhowers were experienced over a greater portion of the state just at a time when merchants were becoming seriously alarmed for the safety of the corn crop. These i rains , according to the reports of grain men who have been watching the con no of events very closely , put the crop out of i present danger. Thus far thcro has been no serious damage to the growing crop cx- ' cept In some few sections of small extent. Omaha Jobbers generally are taking a very hopeful view of the future of the jobbing trade. Very few merchants can be found who are predating other than better times tor till ; fall. It Is not easy to sec why , this fall , there should not appear a distinct Im provement In the distributing trade of the west. Most of the causes that have mi- ' settled confidence- should have disappeared by that time. Prices have already dropped on most goods In proportion to the reduction of wages. The present low prices of all building materials ought to presejit a suf ficient temptation to bring about a resump tion of building operations that have been almost entirely suspended during the past year. year.Another Another week has been lost to the fruit trade of the city owing to the continued embargo barge on the railroad lines In California. For the past two weeks the Jobbing trade In this line , which Is an Important Interest In this city , has been at a complete standstill for the want of supplies. This city has como to depend upon California for Its supply of summer fruits to such an extent that as soon as fruit from that state , appears shipments from southern points are stopped at once. That being the case , the cutting off of sup plies from California had left the market bare and all that the jobbers could do was to sit down and wait for an ending of the rail road troubles , ns there was not much use In trying to secure shipments from other states , which would require too much tlmo anil expenditure. Bofor.o the strike prices on fruit were so , low that n good , many shipment ? barely paid the cost of railroad freight , leaving the grower In California Httlo or nothing for his labor , cost of the boxes , packing , etc. The market has now been bare for so long a. tlmo that there ought to bo a much better demand , and' It Is expected that the first cars that arrive on the market will command much better prices than prevailed earlier in the season. As soon ns sufficient fruit arrives the dally auction sales will bo resumed. Ac cording to present prospects fruit will com mence arriving today. Country produce has sold mostly at about steady prices during the wcok. The de mand has not been very nctlvs and there have been no wldo fluctuations In the mar ket. The heavy receipts and only moderate demand brought about a drop In the 1 ay market , ' but at the , same tlmo there has been a strong feeling , owing to the fact that the dry weather has cut short the hay crop. It would not , In the opinion of dealers , ro- qulro much of a falling off In the receipts to causa a rapid advanceIn prices. FINANCIAL. The local money market Is exceedingly easy nnd It Is doubtful If there ever was n tlmo In the history of this city when money was so plenty and could be had at as low rates as at the present time. There Is plenty ot money for every kind of enterprise that might be undertaken ; It is only a question of security. Tha banks and loan and trust companies are all wllllnc and anxious to make loans. It Is claimed that a good many loans nrc being made on farms at as low .1 rate as 0 per cont. with an additional commission of 1 or 2 per cent on live years tlmo. That the clearings of the national banks nro showing a considerable decrease as com pared with a year ago , when business was suffering from what amounted almost to a money panic. Is generally regarded as one of the results of tlio railroad strikes. For 'the ' whole country theru was n decrease In the matter ot clearings amounting to 1C per cent as compared with the corresponding week ot last year. Omaha made a little bettor showing than tlio average , the decrease at this point bslng only 13 per c'lit. At the simo time Omaha does not come up to the record made by some other western cities. Minneapolis reports a decrease ot only 9 per cent and St. Paul 3 per cent , whllo Kan sas City shows a gain of 55 per cent and Sioux City 22 per cont. On the other hand Denver Is 21 per cent behind the record of last year , Duliith13 per cent and St. Joseph 23 per cent. From this Omaha would seem In occupy a middle- position among the cities In this section of the country , being In this respect considerably better off than some , hut not In as good shape as others. Laying aside the question of percentages nnd taklniT Into consideration the volume nt clearings only , Omaha Is able to give a very good account ot herself , as will bo seen from the following , showing the week's totals for a number of western cities : Omaha , JI.6S9.201 Minneapolis 4,117.120 St. 1'nul 3,727,431 Uullltti 2,179.003 Milwaukee 4.083.7S : !

"This has been the dullest week of the summer In retail circles , " sold Mr. W. II. Ilobcrson , malinger of 11. O. Dun & Co.'a agency In Omaha. "The effects of the Btrlko were not felt BO severely In Onmliii until this week. Cal ifornia fruit has nut been In market to any extent , nnd the rellcx t-ffect of the paralysis west , north and east of us has Noriously Im paired our trade. I can hardly see why this should be the case , for this city and Otute worn almost wholly exempt from the ill roc t cvllH of the Htrlke. "Crop prospects generally nro good , al though along the river rnlna \ needed and Bhowora generally would be tfrulcfully re ceived , "In wholesale circles the week has been quiet , During the strike many fall orders were canceled. A goo < l share of these arc being renewed , and us Boon ns the fright la passed trade will surely revive. The Htrlke eemed to 111 ! country merchants with apprehension , nnd ot cotirso the- far west trade of this city was entirely cut off. Although the labor troubles re over , to all Intents and purposes , there In consider , 'able uneasiness remaining , dim to the inut- lerliiKtt of discontent among the late utrlk- ers and tholr lenders. "At South Omahit rrcrlpta of hogs were large , rattle fair and xhrep linn. Hogs have fallen and cattle are lower than last ww > k , except on choice weights. "Tho canal proposition 13 mill dragging Its length along , with Its projectors a ( rood deal discouraged over the numerous ob- ntaclca encountered , but It la probable a bond proposition will finally bo submitted. "This would be n ROOK ! tlmo for the Job bing bureau of the Commercial club to tnkc up the question of amending the collection lawn of Nebraska. The legislature will bo elected In November nnd theneaslon begins In January. Heretofore nothing ban been accomplished In this direction from one cause nml another , but times are ripe now for n , proper assignment law In Nebraska. The Jobber ; ) would do well to Initiate a movement Immediately. " SNOW , cnimuii & co's. VIKWS. lint llrj AVoiithrr .Million tlio Outlook n Little ( llimniy for Crop * . Albert Andrlano , local superintendent for Hnow , Church & Co.'s mercantile agency , writes : "The extremely dry weather re cently prevailing IIOH had a very noticeable effect on business , both la the city nnd country. HeportM from different parts of Nebraska anil Iowa are calculated to give perloiiH cntiHe for apprehension. Unless ruin comes In a very few duys corn will be se riously damaged In Home uectlons of the country. "Farmers nnd business men feel very un easy over the situation , nnd are much de pressed nt the gloomy prospect. The effect of this condition of affairs Is apparent In the small orders * nnd excessive caution of buyers. In northeastern Nebraska nnd western Iowa an abundant rainfall has done much to restore confidence. Heyond thin there IH little clmngo In the local situation. Haiti IH the one consummation to bo wlBhcd for. A sulllclent degree of moisture be tween thlH tlmu nnd the middle of August will assure an abundant crop , establish the confidence of retailers on n firm basis , and the era of Increased trade and more liberal orders will be ushered In from that time. "With the gradual resumption of tralllo nt strike centers a settlement of the labor troubles may be expected to follow. The tariff bill must soon be decided on some basis , nnd the adjournment of congress will put an end to further legislation for the time being. The rciorted | uxodus of la borers from this country , aided by the remarkably low rates of transportation to Kngland and to Hurope , will operate to the benollt of the country. The claps of emi grants most desired In this country are cultivators of the soil , but It has been amply demonstrated In the last few years that the Ignorant and unskilled laborer who seeks employment In the large cities makes a most undesirable and troublesome citizen , serving only to make the lot of his follow workmen hero more burdensome and Intolerant. A real scarcity of laborers would do much to ameliorate the condition of worklngmcn , and Incidentally Improve business. It would seem strange Indeed If an entirely natural succession of circum stances would aid In a solution of the labor problem. The business situation may at present be best characterized as waiting. Tills Is the quiet period of the year , and from now on until the first of September little change may be expectd to take place In general affairs. It is important above all things that congress complete Its labors and adjourn , that labor troubles be set tled In some satisfactory manner , and that , In a general way , nil Impediments to the resumption of business be disposed of In some satisfactory manner. liy the mid dle of next month the fate of the corn crop will be decided. With a settlement of the tariff and labor troubles Importers and manufacturers can adjust their affairs pre paratory to a revival of business. The pros perity of the "west will then depend upon the crop , and a more Intelligent estimate of thu prospects for a general Improvement In trail' conditions can then be made. "At this time predictions for the future are mere guess work. The . chances for prosperity or continued depression are about equally balanced , and It depends entirely upon the happenings of the next few weeks which way the scales will turn. In the meanwhile there Is no plausible reason to suppose that a revival of trade will not set In this full. " _ I.onilfiii Crop Kovlew. LONDON . July 21.

A whlto baboon , declared to bo the only one ever heard of , has arrived In Bedford England , from South Africa , Two years ago , says the New York World , some trek Doers came upon this baboon and his mother In the Miirchlsa range In the district ot Johannesburg. After a fierce light the mother was killed and the young male was led away In captivity. He was brought up In Africa unJ has Just been taken to Ungland. He Is now full grown , being between three and four feet In height. He Is pure white In color. He Is a very heavy , well-grown baboon und excites attention by his ceaseless activity. Ho has a remarkably powerful voice , resembling the bark of a large dog , but harsher and further reaching. Rest and quiet are not possible In bin neighbor hood , This baboon Is possibly a member ot a white variety of the cliacma family , or pos sibly a case ot albinism , which Is found oc casionally In most races of animals. The cliacma or pig-faced baboon Is a native of South Africa , whore he Is very fre quently found , and Is the largest of the baboon family. Ho ordinarily grows to be about as large as a mastiff , but Is much heavier. It Is the custom ot his species to travel about In troops. These would bo very formidable parties for men to encounter It the baboons were not In the habit ot run ning away. When angered , however , or pressed by hunger they occasionally attack men nnd human dwellings. They are very noisy and playful , and generally not had tempered. The tur U usually brown In color.

VERY MODERATE TRADE IN THAT CEREAL Corn Wai I'nny I'urly with Wheat , but He- acted Later on Light Offering * and I'ulr Demand Stocks ami llonds. CHICAGO , July 21. Wheat closed without the slightest aptanuico | of rallying , although at the lowest price known since the present system of trading commenced , September finishing with a loss ot " ! > c. Corn closed Vic higher , oats % c higher and provisions with but Httlo change. In wheat there was a very moderate trade , the price keeping within from ' /4c to % o range. Thcro was fiee liquidation by longs and not much demand outside the buying by shorts. The weakness was due largely to the lower cables , the decline In outside mar kets nnd the disappointing exports for the week. The weather abroad was said to be Improving , and this was also a minor factor. Liberal receipts at winter wheat points nnd talk of prospects ot some kind of a settle ment of the elevator troubles were Influences that cut considerable ot n figure with the course of the market. The continued favorable reports where threshing Is In pro gress was something ot a factor , showing a much larger yield than , expected. Exports of wheat and Hour wcro very moderate 256,000 bn. The market grew weaker again near the closing hour , inlluenccd by the break at Minneapolis , and the liberal estimates re ceived hero for -Monday 101 cars. Corn was quiet within from % c to % c range. The market was easy early with wheat , but reacted later on light offerings und fair demand. Oats wore easy early with wheat and corn , but firmed up , closing at the top on good buying and unfavorable Iowa crop reports. The range was % c for September. Provisions were very dull , but steady on the steady llvo hog market. Compared with last night September pork nnd ribs are un changed and September lard 2'/fcc higher. Freights slow ; a load of corn was taken at Tie to Buffalo. Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat , 401 cars ; corn , 245 cars ; oats , 85 cars ; hogs , 27,000 head , with 125,000 head next week.

It Is expected that California fruit will com mence arriving In the market today nnd that from this time on there will be something like a regular rupply once more. It IK usual nt about this season of the year to have more or less alarming reports about Hie. condition and prospects of the apple crop. His tory Is repeating Itself this season. Advices from Maine slate that there will be n serious shoring fipm last year's yield. Various points In New York furnish somewhat similar Information mation , nnd Michigan prospects arc put down na belmr nowhere near as promising as they wcro n few weeks ago. How far these state ments nro supported by facts Is problematical. It Is suggestive , however , that canners have ad vanced Ihelr prices considerably , and that driers refuse to contract nt prices at which orders weru quite generally solicited two weeks ago. From now on the irado will take a peed deal of Interest In apples , and a few remitks on parking fruit fiom the Maiket Heeord may not bo out of place. Country shippers nnd packers of apples should make It a Volnt to pack their fmlt honestly ; tlmt 1s , have Ihe fruit run alike all through the barrel. Do not endeavor to cause deception by placing good , sound. large fruit on the top and lioltom of the barrel , and fill In Ihe middle with n lot of gnarly , wormy and decayed ' . . fruit. . . It . . does not pay. The decep- Investigation , und practiced irnctlce It " * r ls should bo used. TUki > the barrel , one head out , nail hoops , and break off the ends of the nails at the Inside ; place n layer or Her of ap ples , good and uniform size , smooth , bright , healthy , ns closely as pomlble , stems down ward , on the lower end , thiln 111 ! up , a basket- fill at a time , throwing wit sm.ill , wormy , gnarly and windfall apples , nnd shaking the barrel well after each deposit until It Is full two Inches above the rim ; place the head squarely on the apples , and with n screw or lever press force It Into place and nail securely. Turn over thu barrel and malk name of apple with red or black li-id otUllnell. Ile.ir In mind that to ba shipped safely fruit must be packed tight , to prevent rattllji 3 oij bruising. In ship ping apples Ihe Hist of the season oaily va rieties shippers should ne 'tlint openings are cut on the side of the b.irr'ls"and also In both ends , to admit i of frca circulation of air , which will greatly help to bring apples through In good condition during warm wmthcr.

Sngnr DeuN A en In Aloinipollrcil Attention nn ' ( 'IniiiRo Yrstrrilii ; , NEW YORK , July 21. With a total transaction of only 15,000 shares , more than halt of which wcro In the stock ot the American Sugar Hednlni ; company , there was very little of Interest In the speculation on the Stock exchange. Distilling , the silos of which were 11,700 shares , nnd Richmond Terminal , with hut 1,100 shares to Its cmllt , completed the list of stocks In which the sales exceeileil 900 shares. So narrow n market has not been experienced In ninny years , oven of a Saturday. Scarcely any- thliut wai done ilurlng the first quarter of nn hour , except In Su ar. Not until 10:15 : wns there n sale ot Clilcano Oas , Ocn cral Klectrle or Louisville. Sugar was In Rood request In the early donllng" . and ad vanccd 1 % per cent , reacting 1 per cent and recovering per cent , mnklng a gain ot li , per cent from yesterday's closing. Distilling rose U per cent In the opening trade , hut was nt once raided nnd sold off l'i per cent. In the flnnl dealings the covering of short contract * resulted in n reaction of % per cent. Thu dealings In the rest ot the list were so small nnd the fluctuations so narrow as to not call for nny special mention , the market closing steady to firm , with prices about evenly divided between the declines and advances compared with the final sale * of yesterday , but In no caao was tlio changes above a fraction , except In I'nlltnati , which was 1 per cent higher. The railroad nnd miscellaneous bond mar ket was fairly active. The Evening 1'ost says : U might have been Imagined from tha course of today's market that nobody takes Interest longer In our Investment ! , except In the Sugar nnd Whisky trust stocks. These were the only securities whose movement today at tracted even passing notice. The further break In Whisky stock was as meaningless as the stock's movements usually are. Hut the course of Sugar certificates was by no means puzzling. The trust several montht ngo staked all Us hope of a legislative bonus on Its defenders In the senate. The president's utterances against this conces'lon hroko yesterday's price of Sugar stock. Today the price quite as naturally rallied on the prompt response of the senatorial clique to the need of the occasion. The situation to this extent is very simple.

Thcro wcro no very choice cattle. One small bunch brought $3.UO , which wn * the highest price paid. The market did not show any material change. There were close to ten loads of cows on the market , most ot them being rather common. The market was steady , with no very heavy demand. 1'rlcea ranged very low , owing to the quality of the offerings. The offerings ot calves were lib eral and the market lower. The sales ranged mostly from $1.25 to $2.25. The highest bid on the best veal calves was only $3.00 , As usual on a Saturday the market on stockers nnd feeders was not very active. I'rlces wcro about steady with yesterday , but dealers are generally llgurlng a decline of from 30c to Me , ns compared with ten days ago. The decline 1ms been the heaviest on the light and common grades. Representa tive sales : No. Av. TV. .No. Av. 1'r. No. Av.

A Eliot weighing 2GO pounds from an olght- Inch gun of Fort Vnldlvln In Valparaiso har bor struck the. cruiser Illanco Kncalada above the armor belt , passed through the thin steel plate on the side , went through the captain's cabin'took the pillow from under his head , dropped his head on the mattress with n thump , but without Injuring a hair , passed through the open door Into the mess-room , where It struck the floor , nnd then glanced to the celling. Then It went through a wooden bulkhead one Inoh thick Into a room 25x42 feet , where forty men wcro sleeping In hammocks. It killed six of them outright and wounded six others , three of whom died , after which It passed through n steel bulkhead five Inches thick and ended " Its course by striking a battery outside" In which It made a dent nearly two Inches deep. It was filled with sand. Had It released deadly gases no ono knows what damage it might have done. A 450-pound mlssllo from a ten-Inch gun In the same fort struck the same vessel on Its eight-Inch armor. It hit square on ft bolt. The shell did not pierce the armor , but burst outside the vessel. It drove the bolt clear through , and In Its flight the bolt struck an eight-Inch gun , completely disabl ing It. Such Is the power of the smaller sized guns.
