THE 031 AIT A PATI/T BEE ; TUESDA.Y , AUGUST 8 , 1809. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat is Excessively Dnll and Olotei at a Considerable Decline , CORN WEAK ON FUTURE OF THE NEW CROP Onti Mnrkrt In Inlliirncrcl AlmciHt I3n- tlrcly 1i > - Corn Pro * lulntin Arc Dull hut Itnthcr btrudy. CHlCAflO , Aug. 7 Whctt was execs- elvely dull today and because of that moro than of any nens clewed ut about t4lil\c de cline. The largo visible Increase was a hear feature. Corn was vvedk on now crop future * , but steady for September , the lat ter closing a shade higher , while December declined Ifcfl'ic ' Oats closed unchanged , Provisions closed with Insignificant changes. The most prominent feature of wheat trading throughout the entire session WHS Its exceeding dullness. Interest In trading , never very great during thc hot summer months , dwindled to Insignificant proportions tions lod.iy and the sum total at the ses sion's trrtnsac'tluns was hardly ns great as has frequently bceji KCCII during a lively half hour. Variations In the price were tonllned to A range of % c In September , but n. shiido over that In the more distant fu- turos. September opened WiVio lower at 9VJc. Weather In the spring wheat belt was favorable and this caused a little lan guid selling kit first , enough to put the price at 69c. Tlie favorable weather was in a measure offset by reports of disappointing yields from various points and by bad crop reports from European countries. A mod erate covering movement ensued , carrying September to CS'/ic ' , Up to the noon hour the price kept close to that figure , but after that time the neglected market developed more weakness , September potting back to C'te cgaln. This waa put price and several little rallies occuired on buying against privilege * * , but the support was unsubatan- tlU nnd the market Invariably worked back to the even figure. The cash demand was again small and New York reported only 10 boitloads taken for export. Primary receipts continued large , the total being 756,000 but Minneapolis and Duluth received 271 cars , against 535 cars last week and Us c.us a yait ago Chicago receipts vvetu 163 car ? , SS of contract grade. Bulls de rived some encouragement from the fact that the arrivals of new wheat were still comparatively small The visible supply Hhowed an Increase of 910,000 bu , compared with a decrease last > ear c-t 839,000 bu. This was perhaps the most significant bear cir cumstance and it resulted in , in almost total disappearance of buyers late in the session. "World's shipments were 7,700,000 bu. , about us expected. Atlantic export clearances of wheat and flour equaled 662,000 bu. Sep tember was bringing tic at the close. Corn w.i irregular vvtth some degree of activity. The market opened weak on the. excellent crop conditions and large crop estimates. Tlio cash situation was strong , there being little for sala except at a higher premium thin shippers liavo previously paid. September showed a substantial ad vance nt one time. The now crop futures were sold more liberally and later in the se lon September also weakened , practi cally all the advance being lost. Country 'I acceptances were almost nothing. The local 1 stocks decreased 538,000 bu. Hecelpts were 4H cars. September ranged from 30-c to 31c and closed a shade higher at 30MT30ic. Dncember closed % { ? V4c lower ut 2SMJ28'Ac. O.Us were neglected. The market was In fluenced almost entiiely by corn , showing some strength early , weakening late In the session , but closing fairly steady. The cash d&nrand was good , about 175000 bu. being j worked here for shipment. Receipts were [ [ 1 largo , 007 cars. September ranged from K 19Vin9e to 19 % { } > 19c and closed unchanged ut lyViScUn&c. aiay closed a shade lower. Provisions were dull but rather steady In view of the break tn hog prices and through showing weakness early : recovered later and closed steady. The demand for meats WHS good. Packers were moderate sellers.

As , an offset against these bcar- L Eaturesthere wns a 8x > 0(1 local demand , which saved the day for the sellers. Rep resentatives of local packing houses vvero in , tne.addle early looking for beef steers. y , . , not llni1 many cornfed cattle , only i a half dozen loads or such a matter being reported in the yards , but what there were met vvith ready sale at good , steady prices. J.he most or : the beef cattle hero were western gnassers , of which there was a very fair showing , the market on this kind of cattle was also fairly active and steady under the Influence of the very good local demand , and the most of them changed hands early in the morning. The market as a. whole could be summed up as a good , healthy market. Cows and heifers appeared to be In a little larger supply than usual , while buy ers did not seem as anxidus for them as for other kinds of cattle. The result was that the cow market was slow and a little lower. Buyers were backward about looking at the cow btuff , and sellers were slow about takins , the Prices offered , so that It was rather late before a clearance of that kind had been effected. Stockers and feeders were In good demand and the market reasonably active at last week s prices. Speculators were pretty well cleaned out at the clos > e of last week and were all ready to load up again. As a rule they were out early , and the desirable stackers and feeders in first hands were soon disposed of. Stock cows and heifers were also in good demand , and there were a number of buyers in the yards looking for that kind of stuff. There was a heavy fall of rain all the morning , but that did not appear to have any effect upon the market , as everyone was out In the yards and business was active just the same. If anything , the copious rainfall has Improved the cattle trade , as it has given operators a greater feeling of confidence In the future of the business , just as It has stimulated country buying ot stock cattle.

From the table of average prices nt head of column It will bo noted that the week starts out with the. market 6c higher thai the opening of last week , moreover that the hogs sold today higher than on nny daj last week excepting only Saturday. Kep- rescntatlvo sales : 4 33 SHtIiP-necelpto numbered all told twenty-six cirt , the mo'rt of them mutton sheep with only a few lambs. H was the largest numbet of cars reported in these jards since April 24 Last week It was pointed out in these columns that the mar ket at this point waa pretty high In com parison to other markets and that a large run would be very apt to bring about a sharp decline. Today that expectation came title. On Saturday last the. Chicago Drovers' Jcurnal jeported the lamb market at that point as "acOJl 00 lower for the week and sheep 25c lower. Accordingly buyers at this point demanded and obtained a similar con cession. They bought lambs at $560 that brouhgt $6 00 last week and fairish yearlings at T4 00. The market Is still high as compared with Chicago , the sales being well up toward the prices paid at Chicago for the same kind of stuff.

SOlTli OMAHA NEWS , When the city council met last night all members were present and Mayor Ensor occupied the chair. City Clerk Carpenter waa at his desk again after an absence of a month. Kelly started the ball rolling by requesting a report from the mayor on the Sunday closing and re-opening of sa loons. It will bo remembered that nt the last session a resolution was adopted grant ing the mayor authority to employ addi tional police in order to keep the saloons closed and also requesting a report or state ment from his honor In regard to the re opening of ealoons on Sunday. Kelly wanted to know last night why the mayor has refused to employ the additional men authorized and why the saloon keepers were allowed to sell Intoxicating liquors on Sun day. day.In In reply to Member Kelly the mayor re marked rather sharply that ho would do nothing of the kind. He declined to accede to any of the requests in connection with the non-employment ot extra police and the Sunday opening. Mr. Kelly then asserted that street rumor had connected the council -with the Sunday closing and opening of the saloons and ho merely wanted a report from the mayor In order to clear the skirts of the council. The Incident was closed by the major remaiking that he would exon erate the council as the members were above reproach. Next came a quiet little roast on City Attorney Montgomery. The finance commit tee had been engaged In looking up pome Judgments and reported that from appear ances the city atorney had been negli gent in allowing Judgments to be secured In the Johnson $5,000 damage case , and also in the Elsfelder $4,000 peinonal Injury case. The attorney was further blamed for his manner of handling the Twenty-fourth street paving suit. The report of the finance committee 'was referred to the mayor with the request that ho report at the next meeting. It was intimated that the attorney ought to bo disciplined for this eeemlng neglect of duty , but beyond the adoption of the commltteo'a report to refer the matter to the mayor nothing was done. An ordinance to repeal ordinance No. 849 , which was passed April 5 , 1899 , granting a franchise to the Magic City Electric Light and Power company , was Introduced , read the first time and referred to the judiciary committee. H Is reported that this company proposes to run a current of 6,000 volts through its wires and It Is as sorted that this high voltage Is danger ous. ous.An ordinance providing for the grading of Twenty-second street from Q to S streets was passed , as was also the one providing for the location ot Iron waste paper boxes at prominent street corners , W , A. "Young " lied a claim for $225 on account of personal Injuries received by hla team running away and Jumping down the embankment at Twentieth and N streets. Tom Brondner , a plumber , asked for $75 to reimburse him for burns received by ono of bis children some time ago. It is assorted that the child fell into a trench where some manure was burning and waa quite badly Injured. These claims are to bo investigated by thc finance committee , Homo time -was spent In discussing the advisability of buldlng a culvert across 0 street near Seventeenth 6o that O street may bo graded. As the city has no money for this work at this time It was suggested : hat the culvert , which will cost about M.600 , be constructed and charged to the grading district. Some legal points which came up are to be referred to the city at torney before final action Is taken. Quite a bit of routine matter In connec- lon with repairs to sidewalks and streets was disposed of and the body then adjourned 'or two weeks , Ilonril of Kiliiuntlon The assigning of principals * aa the feature of the 'meeting of the Board of Education bold fast night. Prof , J , A. Beck was elected principal of the High echool and Miss Helen > eeley chosen assistant principal. Mlra Jeeley has served a number o ( terms as prln. clpal of 4ho High echool , but U appears that some of the members of the board thought t time to make a change. Other principals were chosen aa follows , Kate Ryan , Lowell school ; C , M. Johnson , Wctt Side , Kmo Sampson , Highland , Emma Herman , Al bright ; Elizabeth Hayes , Brown Park.

It wan ( lellnltolj decided to have a busi ness eourso In the High fchcol and five new tjpowrllers will be purcha&cd for this de partment. _ The AmcrlMii Book company will furnish A arithmetics for the schools. \ By recommendation of the teachers' com mittee It was agreed , that the minimum sni'.ulcn of teachers In thc grades he lowered from $15 to $10 and that the maximum bo raised from $60 to $65. Unlit * DttiiiiiHc llu < Last night's heavy rain has damaged some of the unp.ued sheets and It will probably take qulto a sum of mcnry to place the streets In the proper condition again. This work la done by day labor ntul teams , which Is quite expensive Within a week now the 1S91 levj will be available and It Is more than probable that thc old question of purchasing a read machine will bo brought up. The street and alley committee considered Iho proposition rnrlv In the spring , but on ac count of a lack of funds a machine was not purchased. It Is figured that by unlng a machine the work of rounding up roidwa > s can bo done far chcvipcr and better than under the present Doiiiiuiil for rcoilliiK Shcpp. In connection with the demand for feed ing sheep the Chicago Drovers' Journal sajs ; "Tho demand for feeding sheep al ready shows sjmptoms of being very strong. It Is hardlj likely that those who bought at such a high scale last jear will put their hands in the fire again , but there are others , who ore willing to embrace almost ovcrj- thlng , especially an oppoitunltj. Conditions for feeding nro ically moio enticing than they wcro n jear ago. Teed is very abund ant this jear nnd promises to bo cheap. Even so , fcders can easily get the hot end of the poker , but temptation Is strong and apparently many are ready and willing to take chances on the outcome. " O | > < * r tloii ii ( 'illinium.

No replies have as yet boon received from the Department of Agriculture on the ques tion of dipping sheep In passing from ono state to another.

I'lipi-rH Stolen. Complaints arc frequently made about ths theft of morning newspapers from business places As a rule the papeis are delivered early and It Is thought that people who go to work early pick the papers from the doorknobs as they pass.

In case any person la caught stealing a newspaper prosecution in police court will follow. \ .llnulf t.'Hj OomHlp. The city officials ore working on their annual repot tts.
