TILE OMAHA DALLY BEE : SUNDAY , AUGUST 0 , 189 { ) . IT JoVot's Rjport a Fair Movement of Season able Merchandite , DULL SEASON IN SOME DEPARTMENTS 1'cople Alificut on Vnuntloiin Hciliico Siil < ; lu .All Ilctall MUCK I.itricc \llIllllLT of XctV IllllllllllKK l 0- Un In Oiiiulm. In a retail -way this la the dullest season of the whole yJar , and , while It may ueem uomewhat paradoxical , It Is duller than uuual by reason of the business prosperity that prevailed during the first lx months of the year. During the years when mer cantile pursuits were less prolltablo people felt obliged to stay more closely at home , but tha ! year It seems as If every one and his family are Indulging In the luxury of a Bummer outing. This takes away from the city a largo amount of the very best trade , und Iho retailers are feeling Iho effects. The loss of trade from this source Is far greater than might at llrst seem possible , und It reaches practically every department of business , in splto of this drawback , however , there Is a very fair business doing In a retail way and merchants arc not dl - Iiosod to lind any fault with existing condi tions. Down In the jobbing district buslncsH Is na lively as any ono could onk for the llrst \veok In August. Itcccnt rains liavu made the country merchants very optimistic ale lo the corn crop and they are feeling that an active bUHlness the coming fall and win ter Is asuured. Accordingly there Is a man ifest disposition to place liberal orders ami U wllllimn&ns to place them earlier than usual. Jobbers ray that there nuvcr ha boon a year when the 'prospects at the be- Klmilnff of Auguut wcro more hopeful. The jiresent remunerative prices at which llvo ntock Is rolling Is of no Ilttlo assistance la promoting trade , as a large amount of ready money Is placed In circulation by this means. One thing that is of great assistance to local business Is the activity In building nnd In other permanent Improvements , which furnlshcu employment to an army of lalborlng men. IlnlldliiK Ilooni In Omaha. Thg amount of building that la going on in Omaha , ts really surprising. On every eldo there , arc to bu neon residences of the better class In the course tf construction and preparations arc being madu to Hturt work on a good many more. It Is said that some who had contumplated building this season hav given it up on account of the sharp advance In all kinds of building material , and with the Idea that prices will T bo cheaper next year. The opinion of these beat Informed ( is to the conditions prevail ing In the various building trades la that the period of high 'prices h only Just com menced and that it will last for some time to come. Moreover , that Instead of being Sewer , the prospect Is very good for fllll Jilghor prices ( mother year. The Lumber man notes that a general advance In prices tor doors and mWl work will follow close on itho'heels ' of the advance unadc In the manu- tfacturors' minimum price to jobbers , an ad vance which the former were forced to make because of the steadily increasing cost of lumber sultablo for cutting-up purposes , the higher prices for window Klaus and , In fact , an all-round Increase in the cost of manufacture. The situation in regard to a supply of dry white plno shop lumber 'has ' become a. serious ono to t'ho ' many manufacturers. Dry factory lumber Is not to be had except us a. small lot Is occaslonailly picked up hero and there , and on suoh purchases tha ! > rlceg are eot U ) the limit by the Keller. Early In the season the chief activity In Aho lumber market was on the coar&o errado.3 ami not a great deal of attention was paid to good lumber , , but the cast has been buying good stock .freely at northern tmlll points , not only lumber that Is avail able for immediate shipment , but also stock to be cut , and. In this way , a large proportion tion of the season's output of factory plank ( has "been " contracted for dn advance. New Supply In Limited. Western factory operators have been hoping that ns the season advanced the new cut would furnish a more liberal supply of ehop lumber , but they are now beginning to realize that auch will not bo the caso. rrhoro will probably bo enough whlto pine hop lumber ito supply the wants of the factories , but tha supply will be so limited ithot such holders can command practically itholr own prices for It. Ona hears many Instances cited t'heso idaya aa showing the efforts that are being made to secure factory lumber. A few layu esro ono Wisconsin concern announced * h ut In elx weeks It would have 1,250.000 teot of ifaiotory plank for solo , and within twelve hours after making the announcer - ' r * t It had sold the entire lot at SI a i.ttW .bettor than ever rocelved before. Oilnneapolte Is shipping largo quantities of faot&ry plank 'tb Oshkosh , factories on the- fcllsalsslppl river ere buying all the good flumber In Oowor Michigan , thus showing < th .t freight rates are not a consideration 'under prwent conditions. . . . There teas been considerable complaint' all eason regarding a ehort eupply of moldings nd turned work , and conditions In this respeot do not show much Improvement. The capacity of the molding factories seem < o have been taxed to the utmost to supply ftho current demand , and In hardwiood mold- rUiira particularly , tha high prices for tiwl < l- n * stock have resulted In a Btoadlly ad vancing market and ono which IB expected ito iholu strong throughout the ae < ison. Many factories have been Increasing their capacity to turn out moldings by < he adding of new machines , and ifor this reason the eupply may bo a Ilttlo more liberal this fall , though It Is not likely to bo enough ito result In any lower prices.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Weakness of Corn and F Torabl Crop Con ditions Features on Chicago Market. TRADES IN WHEAT ARE VERY MODERATE Ontn Arc Dull nnil Fnlrly StendjVro. . vlMonft Are Ilcnrr nnd Clone nt n Sharp De cline. CHICAGO , Aug. B. Dull and Irregular markets prevailed on the Board of Trade today. Weakness of corn and favorable crop conditions were features in a decline of US&o In wheat. Coarse grains showed the most weakness In new crop futures. December corn closed UQ&c lower , ( Septem ber losing only a shade. September oats closed a shade higher and December ' , jc lower. Provisions declined 7US12V4C. Opening trades inwheat , both for Decem ber and September , were at slight declines from yesterday's prices , September starting HSVio lower al CO-HGOSJic , and in the course of the next half hour's trading the price look a further drop to C9Vio. English mar- keta were closed and domestic news wns more or 'less ' colorless ns a rule nnd the In terest In trading wns small even at the opening. Sellers were In the majority , how ever. The weather in the northwest was favorable for harvesting operations and the Kansas state crop report predicted Inrgo crops of both wheat and corn , the condition of the latter being put at 100. This devel oped weakness in corn ami the narrow wineat market sympathized to some extent with the drop in the coarser grains. There was some selling by yesterday's buyers nlso on the favorable northwest crop conditions. A feature which encouraged the bulls \\Ua the continued email proportion of new wheat arrivals and the falling 4n receipts In the northwest. Minneapolis nnd Duluth re ceived 240 cars , against 344 last week aid 68 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 76 cars , twelve of contract grade. Total receipts at primary points were 075,000 bushels. A moderate covering movement started at thfe decline to COUc. Some buying wa.i also done against weekly puts and by 11 o'clock the September prlco had recovered to C94c. The demand was better for the deferred futures than for September , con siderable changing being done from Sep tember to December but In the last hour of the session Interest almost died out and prices drooped nil arouna. Atlantic port clearances equaled 418,000 bushels. There waa some demand for export , but little In that line was done. September gradually eased off to 69lJ6C9ttc awi was bringing that price at the close. Corn was wetak , though only moderately active. There was general selling early on much needed rains in the corn states and the Kansas August crop report , which esti mated the yield at 400,000,000 bushels for the state. The good'shipping demand supported the market. Receipts wore 311 oars. SeUliis of the new crop futures , December and May was much heavier than of September , ttnd these months were correspondingly weak. September ranged from. 304c to 30He nnd closed a shade lower at 30 } o ; December and -May closed about % c lower. Oats was dull and fairly steady. Weak ness of wheat and corn was offset b > ' the wins In the west , whltih were expected to curtail the movement. Receipts were 3oo cars. The cash demand Was light. De- fcrred futures showed the most weakness. September ranged .from * 19&c to 19 ? c to 191/ ( . < 5'13c and closed a shade "higher " at las ® 19fic ; December and May closed V > o lower. Provisions were heavy and closed at sharp declines. Hog prices were lower and this and the weakness of corn caused liquidation by recent buyers. Packers were free sellers , an additional source of weakness.

NEW YORK , Aug. 6. There was not much doing In the stock market here to day. The half holiday an Saturday takes away many active operators on holiday trips. The London exchange was closed and TVJ11 be again on Monday , -thus sub tracting on appreciable factor In the usual activity. Nevertheless , ithe day's dealings show a fairly accurate reflection of specu lative opinion in general conditions. There waa 'somo disposition to advance prices In the early dealings on account of the uniformly favorable reports of business In all branches contained In the weekly re- ports of commercial agencies. But this very condition Is a factor In the anxiety over the money outlook , which again dominated sen timent aa the tlmo approached for the pub lication of the weekly 'bank statement. ( Money Is in such largo demand that the available supply for speculative uses Is greatly curtailed. The 'bank ' statement , when It appeared , wns again weak beyond all expectation. With forced liquidation in progress at some points In Europe and with a possible demand for money to move tha crops , the statement brought selling of stocks and a general sharp decline. St. Taul & Omaha , 1'ittsbun , ' , Cincinnati , Chicago & St. Lonls , and Kansas City , , Plttsburg & Gulf tiave risen from 21 to e& per cent. American Smelting and American Car preferred showed Rome slgn of strength. Otherwise the market closed weak and lower all nround. The stock market indicated dur ing the week a disposition to move upward but ? was restrained by several conditions , most notably of which was the continued anxiety over 1ho future of the money mar ket. The money rate throughout the week held stjflly at about 4 per cent. In eplto of the elements of doubt and the absence of a majority of fblg operators and leading eplr- 1ta on vacation 'trips , business has ahown a notable Increase over last week's figures and the average level of prices Is higher. This is moat notably true in the industrial stocks on account of the great activity and prosperity in all kinds of business , espe cially the Iron nnd steel industry , Bventa in 1he financial -world continue to ahapo themselves toward a higher rate for money for eome time to come. There is evidence atiat in the general tide of pros- parity .the extension of credits in eomo .quart * has been on BO liberal a ecale. as ( to draw down reserves below the point of .sutllclent security from a conservative Standpoint. Thus the Bank of England and ttha continental banks have been struggling ( to replenish their 'bullion reserves. The ( London money market's loans in Germany , ar .being called home. The liquidation in ( Germ ny seems to toe going on nfely enough , but the London , wtthdrawali keep up < the Berlin money rate. Government Statistics 'both in Great Britain , Germany ttnd France show a large expansion of trade , o that In spite of the replenishment of banking reserves going on nt all three centers , there is Increasing employment for money. In these circumstances < ho foreign money markets have shown themselves very sensi tive to the heavy downward tendency of both sterling and continental exchange at New York based on offerings of exchange bills in the market npalnst coming ship ments of grain. Evidently it has entered into the calculations of foreign financiers that money wwuld be so abundant in this country that we could afford to le-nd the credits established by our oxjrort move ment of merchandise. The low state of New York banks' reserves arouses some anxiety as to whether It will not be mow- sary to call homo our credits , which would force sales of securities to avoid shipments hither of gold. New York banks lost cash all through July nnd only built up the sur plus reserve , by a loan contraction amountIng - Ing to over $31,000,000. New York merchants are selling -their paper In other domestic markets nnd New lork waits with eomo anxiety to know what demands the interior will make upon It for funds to move the CITho' activity in the .bond market lias been greatest In the speculative Issues , whlcii have advanced. Changes generally have been small. United States 2s , 3s nnd new 4s advanced U l > er cent In the bid price.

S.-The New York Financier says : Despite the fact that the associated banks of New York reduced their loan commit ments by nearly $6,600,000 last week nnd de posits by $12,239,600 , the house lowering re serve requirements $3,059,000 , the loss of $3 - 760,400 in specie and IcgaJs caused a further decline of $2,700,523 on surplus reserves brinclng that Item to $550,100 , or only about $3,000,000 Jn excess of the lowest point touched one month ago. Since that period the banks despite the manifest effort to re coup reserves , have lost at least $10000000 of dash holdings , although they have gained $3,000,000 excess eurplU3. This has been .ac complished by the contraction of nearly $41,000,000 of loans and $52,000,000 of deposits an unusually heavy liquidation at this period , The treasury demands have been respon sible for the loss , it Is a question how much longer the present conditions can prevail. The disbursements by the treasury for Au gust Interest and the receipts of specie from the west , from Australia and the Klondike may partly relieve the situation , but at the threshold of the crop season the situation in an exceedingly serious consideration , This statement docs not reflect other than transitory conditions. At any rate , there B ems to be no difficulty In obtaining acoom- moadtions at this center and money raits tare comparatively easy. The loss of specie reported Is due to Bhln- menta to Montreal on account of the bank failures there and receipts from other ren ters ore known to have been large enoutrh to counteract tills loss , even though the statement does not show It. Interest in the situation from now on centers In the demand for crop money and the nullity of Interior banks to meet It. Any druln on Now York Is bound to bring relief In the way of gold imports , for England is now declining In a manner that foreshadows suah a conrlu 'nn. Still t'he ' season may be tided over without thl recourse. The faot that the dearth of money can be traced 19 the wonderful trade prosperity of the coun try puts a different ccrmplexlon on the Mtu- atlon than has been the caw in particular yours when uncertainty nnd doubt pre vailed.

There has been muclj comment of late about the facility with which divorce is pro cured In this country , says the Now York Journal. Cardinal Gibbons recently de scribed it as "reckless facility. " The gen eral tendency of the nineteenth century civi lization has been toward a more liberal divorce Taw , yet America , usually In advance of the countries of Europe In adopting new methods , has not kept pace in this par ticular , which speaks for the esteem in which she holds the marriage relation. For instance : Austria grants divorce for "un conquerable aversion , " on account of which both parties aak for a divorce. Any court In the union would dismiss the petition as collusive where both parties agree to ask for the divorce. Hungary has the same law as Austria on this subject. Belgium grants divorces on "mutual or persevering deslro or consent ol both par ties. " Denmark , "mutual consent. " In almost all of the provinces of the Ger man empire divorces are granted for "un conquerable aversion. " "Agreement after five years' separation" Is a valid ground for divorce In the Nether lands. Norway , "mutual consent. " Roumanla. "mutual and continued deslro of both parties. " Russia , "mutual consent. " Sweden , "Incompatibility of temper nnd persistent discord. " Switzerland , which recently adopted a federal - eral divorce Taw and amended the same gen erally , grants divorces where the marriage relations are "greatly strained ; " also "Jn- curahlo mental diseases of three years' standing ; " "Injury to the honor or reputa tion of either of the parties.

Tdie few cattle received were disposed of , but there wore not enough to make a market. The cattle market this week has been In a g-ood , healthy condition and to the liking of sellers. The 'tendency ' of values has been upward on all kinds. Corn fed cattle have been In active demand and have sold readily every day of the week. Cows and heifers have also been good sellers. It Is safe to say at the clloso of the week that the market on killing cattle is fully lOo higher 'than it was a week ago , in some , cases possibly there has been a little more gain than that. Stockers and feeders have been In good demand owing to the very good crop prospects in the country and the market on all desirable kinds may bo quoted 10itl5c higher for the week. The supply has not been largo and at the close of the week very few cuttlo are left In the. hands of speculators to bo carrlsd over , so that the market is In a good , healthy condition.

The early sales were mostly of the choice light and butcher weight loads , running up to medium weights of good quality. These hogs generally sold a little stronger than yesterday that Is , at $4,45 largely with a few at J1.47H ! and $4.60. A little later on the market slowed up under the Inlluence of a reported decline of 5010c on packing hogs at Chicago , and closed lower. The packers did not want to pay over IXOQM.IS1 for the heavy pack ing hogs. The hog market this week has been In pretty good shape In spite o-f 'tho ' fact that the break In provisions the early part of the week , consequent upon the yellow fever scare , brtoko prices -temporarily. On Mon day the average price paid for hogs was $1.32 , but on Tuesday the market dropped to an average of J4.19. From that point It steadily rallied and at the close of the week was more than 30c higher than it was at the opening of the week. ( Representative gales : No. Av. Bh. Pr. No. Av.

Chicago Inter Ocean : A mortgage of $20,000,000 on n tiny town Tot is rarely re corded In real estate annals. The city of San Joae , Cal. . has within Its limits a Ilttlo patch of ground which has actually berne an Incumbranco of these stupendous proper tions. The story of this lot Is the story of an unpaid noto. Away back in 1S51 David O. Vance , Its owner , Irarrowed from Jackson Lewis the sum of $1,300 , nt the then current rate of interest of 8 per cent per month , to be computed monthly , security being the real estate nnd its improvements. The note Is yet unpaid. Ono day Mr. Vnnco disap peared. He couldn't take the lot with him , so that the small section of the earth has gene on eating its head off , ns it wore , ever since. The note and mortgage , after the manner of such things , made its way through the courts in proceedings and fore closures , and In the next dozen years tha $1,300 grow like Jack's beanstalk. A return ot safe finally showed the total amount duo the man to whom the note and mortgage had been assigned , Morris M. Wise , in round numbers , that included interest , costs and sheriff's fees , $21,000,000. Her lllnck ami Gold Seal. New Orleans Times-Democrat : Some of the now seals arc very bold and stylish but require many wax sticks more than the ordi nary round monograms. One Now Orleans girl has a monogram an Inch and a quarter long ; this necessitates a much longer back ground of the wax , and she has been known to expend half a stick on one letter. She uses black wax for air purposes just for the individuality of It , and sometimes rubs a little gold paint over the seal , allowing it to remain only In the crevice of tha ( llo and stamping the great monogram in gold on the black wax. The effect Is very striking , nnd upon n strong , white , square envelope , very handsome. The lid u u I Life : Tom Did your gordnah dlo B natural death ?
