BANK CLEARINGS. As a further evidence that Omaha is a long way from the rear of the procession J attention might be called to the large in- t crease in the clearings of the local banks , shIeh show a very large gain over the previous year ! The amount of increase at this pOint is far beyond the average for tte whole country and far larger than that reported for othcr western cities.

There were 1,817 head In , flU against 1,567 on Saturday of last weclc. There were only a few feeders amomig time rcceipts itnti only about a dozen loads of butchers' stock , tue great bulk of the offerllmgs consisting of corn foil steers. It being a Saturday , antI the receipts large the buyers dId not appear to care much about loading up with catto unlras they could get thorn enough lower to make it an object to carry them over , As sales- mcmi vcre genernlly ricliig their holdings as high as yesterday , and in some cases even higher , the market ivan slow anti the forenoon was well advanced before muclm business was transacted. Sonic handy lit- tie cattle sold about steady , but the general inrmrket s'nn weak anti : ovor. The market on cows and heifers was also slow , an salesmen were baclcwtirti about making the reduction of I0ij'IOc tie- manded by tue buyers. She stuff has been selling very high hero , as compared vltli other markets , owing to the very moderate receipts and the active demand. The tendency - dency iitmS been to gradunUy force the market up , "strong and itctlve" being the general condItion of the trade on mIst tlnys. In consequence time buyers were only too willing to take oft when the opportunity was presentetl. Stockers amid feeders were in very moderate - rate supply ; in fact , there were hardly enough to establish prices. Such as were here sold at about the same od prices , tim market showing no quotable change. Representative - resentative mIca : BEEF STECI1S. No. As' . Pr. No. y. Pr. No. y.
