The last week has not been remarkable
for the development of any especially new
features In the trade circles of Omaha. On
tha contrary business has followed along the
same lines an a week ago without any note
worthy changes. This , however , Is the dull
Reason , when changes of Importance are
not to bo anticipated In the actual condition
of trade. When U comes to a question of
feeling there has been some Improvement In
the past six days. A week ago tha jobbers
of Omaha were feeling very much discour
aged at the prospect of what promised td be
almost a complete failure of the corn crop.
The talk In every quarter was of the most
discouraging character and the reports at
hand appeared to justify the worst fears for
the future business In the state.
Later the Information goes to show that
the flrst report as to the extent of crop damage -
ago was overestimated , as Is the rule In such
cases , and that the actual situation Is not
as bad as has been represented. At the
same time there Is no disputing the fact
that there has been serious damage to the
corn crop In many sections , and more or less
damage In every portion of the state. Job
bers are estimating that where the crop Is
only partially destroyed the higher prices
that are sure to follow will make up the
difference In the yield , so that the damage
will not bo o < serious matter except In these
sections where everything Is destroyed and
whore the farmers will Imvo nothing to sell.
Slnco the talk about crop damage com
menced thcro has been a noticeable falling
off In collections. Previous to that time
country collections were pretty fair and the
majority of the merchants were meeting
their obligations with reasonable promptness.
It would appear that Uio prospective short-
ace of the corn crop has been seized upon
by a good many as a pretext for putting off
their creditors.
A party of business men was discussing
the situation In ono of the local jobbing
hoiiEcs the other day when ono of them re
marked that ho could not understand why
U was that business was In such bad shape
of late In this country. This led to a dis
cussion of the situation In the United States ,
as compared with other countries , when .one
of the number produced the following , show
ing the conditions prevailing In the leading
commercial country of Kuropo : The losses
sustained by Qreat Urltam in her foreign
trade this year , up to June 30 , are shown
In n report recently made to the Board of
Trade of London and published by the Finan
cial News of that city. The loss In Juno
amounted to $1,380,000 , or 4.7 per cent , the
comparison being with the country's exports
In Juno of last year. This Is the heaviest
monthly loss experienced since the big coal
atrlko In England last summer. The shrink
age for the halt year was $7,155,080 , and It
Is now believed that the bottom has been
reached. At least that Is the opinion of the
Financial News. The shrinkage In Great
Britain's foreign trade since 1891 la enor
mous. The flrst half of that year her experts -
ports amounted to $992,000,000 , and for the
flrst half of 1892 they aggregated only $894-
000,000. Hero was a falling off of nearly
$100,000,000 in ono year. The next year the
shrinkage was over $32,000,000 , and this year
It was over $7,000,000 , as already stated.
The homo trade 'of the manufacturers and
Jobbers of Great Britain has also fallen off
considerably during the same period , though
not to the same extent that their foreign
sales have.
It there ore any business men In this
part of the country who huvo gotten the Im
pression that the situation is worse In the
United States than in other countries , the
above majr servo to disabuse their minds of
that fallacy.
The local retail trade In Omaha has been
qulot , though the cooler weather vvus some
thing of a temptation for shoppers to be
out , and during the latter portion of the
week added considerably to the volume of
sales.
BANK CLHAHINGS.
The clearings of the national banks of
Omaha for the past week fell a llttlo short
of the total for the corresponding week
of last year , the decrease being 1.7 per cent.
Whllo n good many cities make a better
showing than this , Omaha Is still better than
the average , which for the whole country
la a decrease of 21 per cent. Omaha com
pares very favorably with other cities as
to the volume of clearings for the week , as
will bo scon from the following week's
totals :

AT SOUTH OMAHA.
The strike among the packing house men
at South Omaha has had a very unfavorable
effect upon the live stock markot. The de
mand for beef cattle lias been cut off to a
very grott extent , and , owing to the low
prices , shippers have been holding back sup-
pllea until the demand should become more
active. This has cut down the receipts to a
very low point , and It has stopped the flow
of money Into the country from that source.
The receipts of hogs , on the contrary , have
been unusually large , but the gain was nil
nrndo during the first half of the week , before -
fore the strike assumed serious proportions ,
and before there had been time for the market
kot to feel the full effects of the trouble. The
receipts on the second day of the week vvero
the largest In the history of the yards , al
most 21,000 hogs being received on that day
The tendency of prices has been lower. The
fact that a largo proportion of the hogs com
ing to market at the present time are light
and only halt fatted would seem to Indicate
that the growers In the country are afraid
of a shortage of feed , and nro not waiting
to finish their stock , but are rushing It to
market as fast us possible. Prices at the
present tlmo nro the lowest that they havp
been slnco the crop failure of IS'JO ,
Dealers nt South Omaha do not look for
much activity In the Iho stock market until
the strike la settled and the houses are run
nliiR again with a full force of men.
COUNTRY PHODUCn AND FKUIT.
The produce market of the past week has
experienced some changes that are of a
good deal of Importance to the general trade
The general tendency on most lines , where
there haa been any change , Is toward higher
prices. Whore advances have taken place
they have been duo In largo part to the dry
weather and consequent effects upon vcguta-
t un.
The most pronounced effects of dry
weather are to bo seen In the butter market ,
which has advanced steadily under the ln-
flucnco of the decreased receipts due. to the
falling oft In the production. The makers
of butter agree that the drying up of pas
turage nnd the general shortage ot feed
la responsible for the scarcity of butter.
Tha advance has taken pluco on both
creamery and low grades ot country butter.
In New York and other eastern markets
that are accustomed to depend upon the west
for supplies ot butter , the dealers are pre
dicting very high prlco * for butter this fail
and winter as a result ot the short pastur-
ase In the weit. A Nebraska creunery man
predicts that Good creamery butter will be
worth 30c In the near future.
The egg market baa also made a decided
dvanco owing to light receipts at this and
other markets. In spite ot the higher prices
that are being reported the receipts continue
Jlght and It beglus to look as U there vvero
no eggs In the country.
Tha hay market furnishes another ex-
nniplu of a rapid advance due to light re
ceipts In the faca of a fairly good demand.
The hay crop appears to bo very light all
over the country and dealers , who have
been keeping watch of the situation , predict
that the market will rula high all winter.
The poultry market , contrary to the gen-
oral rule , has suffered a decline the past
week and has , In addition , been very dull ,
AS DUN SKKS IT.
Mnny Tlilnc * to Un Considered on Iloth Bide *
of Ilin Trndn Situation.
n. O. Dun & Co./i local manager , speak
ing of trade for the week , snya :
"Durtlncsa locally bus not yet been , ma
terially affected by the South Omaha strike ,
though It must be admitted that any dis
turbance of this character ha * an evil In
fluence upon trade , and will sooner or later
bo felt to the disadvantage of the com
munity.
"The bad crop outlook and the unsatis
factory nltuatlon of affairs throughout the
country huve not reduced the volume of
wholemle trade materially this week.
Omaha's peculiar situation has enabled her
to gather Into the commercial fold a large
number of short order men , who , buylnu
only frpm bnnd to mouth , as necessities re
quire , naturally Heck the nearest market.
Orderi are not large , but nro numerous
enough to bring the aggregate up to the
volume of other years at this season.
"Everybody Is buying light. liven retail
dealers and manufacturers , note this fact.
A tailor In Omaha told the writer the other
day that he had ZOO names of customers on
his books who have hitherto been good for
from ono to three suits a year , who this
jear have bpcn Satisfied with a pilr of
trousers , or have merely cleaned up old
suits.
"On the other hand , two or three of the
Kreat department stores have gone on mak
ing money every day , doing a strictly cash
trade , nnd Increasing their business from
month to month ,
"As has frequently been remarked South
Omaha Is the backbone of this city's trade.
The report of receipts for July has Just
been published , and shows that 20000 more
cattle have been received since December
of last year than for the corresponding
period of 18S1 } . There Is n falling off In hogs
nt all the packing centers , Including Omaha ,
nnd n gain In sheep nnd horses. The pro
portion consumed nt the packing houses Is
about the same. Some Idea of the extent
of the stock trade of this center can be
gathered from the fact that ,17,712 c.irs , or
enough to make a solid train more than
2GO miles In length , were received at the
yards In the last seven months.
"Our neighboring city of Council Bluffs ,
through Congressman linger. Is moving for
u fust mall train cast , and Omaha , commer
cial bodies should Interest themselves In
the effort , as It would bo fully as ad
vantageous to Omaha as to Council Bluffs
"Much regret Is expressed on nil sides
that It should have been discovered so late
In thi day that the canal proposition cannot
be submitted until the next general election.
At a general election there are so tinny
other questions of Immediate Interest before
the people that Internal Improvements are
quite likely to be neglected Besides , In
terest In this project was at white heat ,
and Siptember would have been a good
time to hold the election. However , aihll-
tloml time may make friends for the en-
tei prise of many who are still In doubt as
to it.M advisability.
"Reports from the east are discouraging
In evprvtlilng except the wool trade , which
has suddenly taken a spurt and astonished
the operators and financiers alike. Possibly
the hesitancy of congress has had some
thing to do with It , but probably manufac
turers having exhausted their stocks found
they could wait no longer for tat Iff legisla
tion , and bought to supply Immediate neces
sities , regardless of the outcome of the
Wilson bill What the east needs Is cer
tainty , nnd It matters comparatively little
which way the tariff feline leaps , so that
the leap Is accomplished.
"A local wholesale man , talking with me
about our lax collection laws , approves of
the suggestion th it plans should be made
for some sort of remedial legislation nt the
coming session of the legislature. It Is too
easy for the dishonest to defraud their
creditors and the Incapible to escape their
responsibility under our laws nnd the in-
torpretatlon theieof In the course of his
conversation he remarked that fully 20 per
cent of his customeis In the st.vte were
wives of men who manage the business ,
and who , for reasons quite well known to
former victims , find It Inconvenient to use
their own names.
"The courts have grown very liberal In
construing exemption laws as the years
have gone by , until now In Nebraska and
other states It Is extremely dllllcult to
reach the property of married men or mar
ried women to satisfy debts created by
bad faith or good faith. Judge Scott de-
cldod a case this week , which Involved the
question whether or not a wife whose hus
band Is In health and has the right
use of his faculties can have $500 exempt
from her personal property under the law
permitting the head of a family In lieu of
a homestead , lands or houses to select $500
woith of per onnl property for exemption.
HP decided against the husband , and held
substantially that If the wife Is the Judg
ment debtor and the husband Is In good
health and possessed of the use of his
faculties. In other words , Is the 'head of the
family , " ho cannot claim the exemptions of
a head of the family In his wife's property ,
either with or without her consent. "
SNOW , OIIUIU.II & CO.'S VIEWS
"tnmpodo Cnuscd by the Simoon Jlns Not
I ntlrilr Snbildoil.
Albert Andrlano , local superintendent for
Snow , Church & Co.'s mercantile agency ,
writes :
"As stated In my report of lost week , the
tumors of damage to the corn crop were
largely exaggerated , as shown by subse
quent advices. Local showers during the
week have bad a wonderfully reviving ef
fect on the drooping plants , and a fair
average yield may still bo harvested. While
the Injury was teal , and lias undoubtedly
much decreased the average jleld per acre ,
the loss will not bo near so large as flrst
reported. To say that the serious aspect
of affairs created a panic among the
farmers Is no amplification , ns was well at
tested by the I.irge shipments of live stock
during the past week. It has also been a
sevete shock to country merchants nnd job
bers , and It will be some weeks before they
will recover. It Is to be hoped that favor
able weather will prevail from now on , for
It Is an Indisputable fact that business
suffered a severe setback fiom the un
favorable crop reports.
"During the week Just closed , little ot
note transpired In local trade circles , Orders'
are coming In a little mote freely , but they
are generally small , and wholesalers are
exceedingly careful In extending credit.
"It is Interesting- note each phase of
the business situation us It presents Itself ,
and In this connection It h.is been partic
ularly Impoitnnt to remark the changes In
the matter of credits Undoubtedly the
debtoiH and cieditors In the west , anil prob
ably throughout the country are now nenier
together than ever before. Credit Is far
from cheap , and the average creditor Is be
ginning to Insist upon his rights , while the
debtor Is learning to appreciate more and
more the obligations which n liberal line of
credit entails The eager competition nnd
reckless methods of Jobbers nnd manufac
turers had almost entirely oblltctated all
sense of obligation In all but the heaviest
debtors , nnd even they often resented the
Inquiry of their houses relative to their
standing , but In these ilaja when houses
are mare cisj osed to icgard the quillty
than the quantity of tlielr ontstandlnirs ,
when the retailer 1 Imself 1 as been sub
jected to heavy loss , as a lu&ult of too
much liberality In the way of credits , a
change has been opeiatcd In. the s > stem
of ei edit. , as beneficial ns It Is proper. Mer
chants are more readily disposed to lay
open their affairs to the Inspection of the
business world , appreciating as they da thu
value of an easy line of credit There Is
more candor and a closer union of Interests
resulting In more confidence" between , the
purchaser nnd seller than ever before.
"Tho sttlke nt South Omaha , according
to the packers , will reach a settlement
early In the week. It Is to be hoped that
tbls well bft effected without trouble. It
seems strange that In times like this every
possible obstacle seems to Interfere with
the natural course of business. The tariff
bill In still In stalu quo , and the adjourn
ment of congress Is Indefinitely postponed
In the meantime , patience should be care
fully and persistently practiced. 'All things
come to htm who waits , ' "

CHICAGO , Aug. 4. The end of an ex
citing week la the corn pit leaves tlio price
Gc higher for September and 4c hlgber ( or
May than those deliveries wore worth at
the close of the preceding week , The openIng -
Ing today was easy , but It rocovcrcd and be
came very strong , winding up at a higher
pilco than thu closing quotations of any pre
vious session , closing % o higher. Wheat
was Inclined to heaviness early , but recov
ered on very heavy clearances from the sea
board and In sympathy with corn and closed
unchanged. Oats finished unchanged for
May and provisions closed slightly lower.
There was not much doing In wheat and fluc
tuations vvero limited from Vic to > c range.
Opening trades were at G34c for September ,
a % o to ' ,4o decline , and sold off a fraction
more , rallied from HO to % c , cased oft a
little , ruled steady and closed at 53o for
September. Some long wheat caino out early ,
but after the first decline offering became
smaller and the demand a little larger. The
market was affected mainly by the heavy re
ceipts , 733 cars , whereas 663 vvero predicted ,
and Monday's estimates wcro placed at 760
cars. There was a good deal ot changing
going on , buying September and selling De
cember. Another largo Increase In the vis
ible supply Is expected and this acted as a
depressing Influence The market was helped
toward the close by the heavy clearings , the
total wheat and Hour footing"up 1,013,000
bushels. Dealers are figuring on an Increase
In the visible supply from 3,000,000 to 3,600-
000 bushels and heavy Increase here
Corn was moderately active within nar
rower limits. The feeling continues a little
mixed , the tone at the start bulng easy and
firmer later , the close being steady at % c
advance for September and at from % c to
94o advance for May. There was an Incli
nation on the part of holders to soil at the
opening , and initial trades were at 48c
for September , a % o to4o decline , and
after ruling steady for a while advanced
from % c to % c , eased off Uc , rallied from
% o to % c and closed at 49c for September
The weather showed no rain in the corn
belt , but temperatures wcro cooler and no
frost was noticeable. The early sellers found
offerings quite readily taken and prices were
well supported , selling up later , being helped
by the rather unpromising predictions by the
signal service which Indicated no rain , but
clear and warmer conditions. There was a
llttlo rain In the lower Mississippi valley ,
but dry elsewhere. Receipts vvero smaller
than expected , only 212 cars arriving , while
vvlthdiawals from store were heavy at 284-
000 bushels
In oats there was a good trade within a
narrow range. Prices did not vary more
than ' /iQ and at the close showed a shade
below yesterday. There was good selling
of September by the leading buyers of yes
terday of September and selling of May by
the elevator Interests. Receipts , 258 cars , all
but one car being new.
The provision market was quiet and prices
steady , 5o covering the fluctuations In Sep
tember pork and 2V4c in lard and ribs.
Freights were firmer at % c for wheat and
corn to Buffalo and % c for wheat to Mil
waukee.

The market on butter continues very firm , nnd

the receipts of poultry should be ste ullly Increasing -

It Is due to a scarcity of fpd or to the advance
of the price of grain In the country It Is not

HOOS Moderate receipts of better average -
ago quality , more favorable reports from
Chicago , a very active shipping demand , and
some local demand were the features of
btrcngth In today's hog market , which re
sulted In their being an advance of IGc to
20c. It was a seller's market from begin
ning to end and they had most everything
their own way. The local packers bought
only a few , but enough to help out matei tal
ly In putting prices up. It appeared to be
a case where every one wanted a
few hogs , regardless of prlco The
packers claim that they are preparing
to start up on Monday , but that remains to
bo seen and until they are running again
full force the demand must be much smaller
than usual The bulk of the lions sold at
$4.70 to $190. with the top at $500. Rep
resentative sales :

HAMMOND , Intl. , Aug. 1. Crown Point
has a sensation somewhat similar to the
celebrated Cronln mystery. Dr. George D.
Hrannon , scctetary of the Like county Doard
of Health , wns summoned at a late hour
lant night to attend n man purporting to
have been shot. Since then he 1ms been
missing , although his friends and family
liuvo made every effort to nnd him. Many
are or the opinion that ho was foully dealt
with , the cause assigned being the prominent
part taken In the prosecution of a large num
ber \Vhltlng people under the new state
health ordinance.
The water at Conrtlnnd Is ns clear ai a
