August Invariably Is a dull month In retail
trade circles and from present Indications
Uio rule will hold good for 1S93. The first
halt of the month has already passed- and
retailers almost without exception answer
nil Inquiries as to trade conditions with the
elnglo word , "Quiet. " A great many people
arc absent from the city at the present
lime , which renders business less active
than It would otherwise be.
Down In the jobbing district they nro
counting August as a , pretty good month
and considerably above the average
Augusts for previous years. The very sat
isfactory conditions prevailing In the coun-
try , duo to good prices at which Hvo stock
is selling and to the very excellent crop
prospects , have put the retail merchants of
Ihft smaller cities and towns In a v ry
pleasant frame of mind. Everything seems
to-b4 coming their way and with the pros
pect of a Urge fall and winter business iney
are naturally placing very liberal orders
with' the Jabbers.
Down In the produce district there Is a
( air business doing for this season of Uio
year , though as a matter of course home
crown fruit and vegetables , which are. sold
direct to the retail trade by the producers ,
naturally reduces the wholesaler's business.
Jlowovcr , that Is ths experience of every
year. The figures showing" the shipments of
fruit from this county , which wore pre-
ncnted a few days ago In The Bee , were
rather surprising toy reason of their size ,
though the wholesalers In that line liavo
nlways contended that their business was
of far greater Importance than the public
generally realized. Another matter that has
nwakcned some Interest Is the report of
the dairy division of the Agricultural de-
jiarjmcnt at Washington , showing from ex
periments that American butter of high
would sell In England. It may note
o generally known , 'but ' It Is a fact , unit
Omaha ships considerable butter across the
water. It Is , however , of low glade , known
us "ladles. " This butter Is some of It put
up 'by ' the butter packers and sent direct
( from here to Liverpool via Boston or New
York , while , a good deal of thu butter that
is shipped from hero and sold on eastern
markets eventually finds Its way across
the wate-r.
Trndc In Illicit Kriule Gooilx.
The Agricultural department at Washing
ton , however , is trying to work up a trade
In high grade goods. In 1897 the United
Kingdom Imported more than 3,000,000
( hundredweight of butter and less than C
jior cent of It came from the United States.
Canada , with less population than New
York , sent two-thirds as much as the United
States did. American butter exports never
reached 40,000.000 pounds nnd in 1897 were
but little over 30,000.000 nnd last year only
CO.000,000. and the United Kingdom alone
Imported 360,000,000 In Ib97. The worst of it
is that American ibuttcr sells for less than
the Canadian ; the "chief objection to the
creamery tub at present In the British mar
ket Is that poor butter from the United
States has been exported so largely In that
form that this package Is closely associated
in the minds of English ibuyers with low
Krado goods. " The department shipped in
different packages in an effort to get around
the bad repute of American butter The
chief of the department at Washington
found butter makers as a rule very In
different regarding the export trade , but
the general Impression Is that It would bo a
* oed thing for them to get the prices of
Danish butter for , say , lOO.OOO.Otf ) pounds of
butter exported to England. But to ac
complish this the butter must be as geodes
os thb Danish , not occasionally , but all the
time. The rates on butter would be us low
end the facilities of shipment as good as
In Montreal if the buslnes wore largo
nough and ; carried on with sufllclent en-
Atr South Omaha a very fair business is
doing in live stock and , though prices this
week have foccn sllphtly lower on some
kinds , they are high as compared , with
recent years. It Is hardly necessary to adtl
that the producers arc very well pleased
with the situation. The price of the
product , however. Is high and murmurs of
discontent are heard from consumers. Dur
ing the early part of the year boss were
low and those who could not afford to cat
high-priced beef and mutton could fall back
cheap pork. The sharp advance in
upon
live hogs , duo to n , large falling off In the
season's pack at most market points , has
put up the prlco of pork until now there
Is nothing in the line of cheap meat to bo
had.

CHICAGO , Aug. 19. Advances of l 4o In
September corn and % Ofto In September
wheat were the features of today's
ttadlng on the Board of Trade. In corn
email receipts and largo shipments drove
alarmed shorts to cover ; In wheat damag
ing rains In the northwest and strong for
eign markets had a similar effect. Oats
advanced US'JsO for September and provi
sions closed unchanged to 2t4o higher.
Wheat opened strong at an Improvement
of Ho over yesterday's latest prices. The
advance had substantial backing. Foreign
markets showed sharp advances , Liverpool
being up % 04d , and London l.40id. Re
ports In regard to the Russian and Ilou-
tr.anlan crops wore gloomy and probably
had considerable to do with the advances at
Liverpool and London. Domestic news pas'
even more bullish In Ittt tone thn.n the for
eign ndvlccs. Heavy and continued rains
were reported all over the northwest wheat
fields , and many complaints ot damage on
that score were received , The strength
shown 'by corn was also notable enough to
affect shorts In wheat. During the first
hour ot the short session's trading the
market was quite active. September opened
at 72V4720 and at oven that price there
was not much wheat offered. Shorts wore
active bidders for everything offered and
the prlco got to 72H1572V4C before realizing
was sulltclent to satisfy the demand.
A short reaction to 72Vic followed , but the
market quickly rccoverd nnd In the epaco
of the next half hour touched 72c. The
market then , quieted down somewhat.
Thcro was a good deal of selling against
weekly calls' ' during the latter part of the
session anil one or two slight reactions re
sulted therefrom , but tha market had too
much substantial support to admit of a
material decline , and shortly before the
close 72io was again touched. Primary re
ceipts were again 'much ' less than last year ,
the total being & 37.000 .bu. , against 805,000 bu.
a year ago.
'Minneapolis nnd Duluth receipts were. 232
cars against 223 last wak and 435 a year
ago. Chicago receipts were 115 cars , 14 of
contract grade. Clearances , however , were
small , 115.000 bu. Foreign bids for wheat
were renewed , but bids for shipment were ,
as a rule , out of line , and not much cash
business was done. Liberal world's ship
ments were looked for and some selling was
done on Uio apprehension that they would
unfavorably affect the Liverpool market
Monday. A decrease of about a million
bushels In the visible was looked for. Sep
tember reacted to 72HsC , and closed firm at
that price. . . .
Trading In corn -was marked "by " great
activity and strength In September. Con
tinued small receipts and hravy shipments
and decreasing stocks alarmed the large
short Interest In that option and resulted1 in

MurUet Strong anil Active After a
Itrlef 1'ertoil of lli'wltutlon.
N13W YORK , Aujr. 13. The stock market
was stronff und active again today after a.
brief period of hesitation anil reaction after
the publication of the bank statement. New
buying orders 4n a few conspicuous blocks
lifted them to the top level of the day.
Thuro waa some realizing at other points
under cover of this bidding up of priceu
und n lew weak spots made the market
rather Irregular at the close. Ycuterday'8
vigorous upward movement attracted ( jultu
i lurtjo volume of buying orders to the
commTsBlon houses and Uiv tone of tha
market was thus utrong from the opening.
The weekly reports of th various trauu
and commercial agencies und Uio Increased
earnltiKd of practically all the railroads
reporting helped on the upward movement.
The organized buying In touUvllle and
Tennessee Coal conunucd in evidence und
Central 1'aolllc was bid up. Southern Pa-
cillc , lu spite of lareo dealings , was held
buck by protlt-taklng unU shows only u
moderate net gain in the day , Louisville
robe an extreme 2 < & and Tennessee Coal
showa a net gain of 3V4. Takings of St.
Paul were on a. very largo scale and wera
accompanied by rumors of an Intention to
declare an extra dividend on the stock.

I rather puzzling in that the deposit liabili
ties were not Increased by as much as the
couh and loan Increase.
Out the emallncgs of the changes left
little ground for anjciety. After a moment
ary liesltntlon traders decided to take tha
optimistic view of the wotement. Southern
Paciilo collateral 4s whrn Issued were taken
In large amounts again at u gan ! of 1 per
cent. Speculative tentlment hn" been In a
peed deal of hurly-burly all the week. An
inspection of the price list discloses some
very w de movements In prices In contrary
directions.
InuuRtnal stocks as a rule are lower ,
the exceptions being the tobacco lAocks.
Some vtry striking trains are shown In
Individual railroad stocks , but the change *
In the majority of these stocks were sur-
prlslngly small ujitil today , considering the
activity of the market and the furious
speculative contest whidh has been waited
from time to tlmo. So far aa an effort to
cause a general reaction In prices Is1 con
sidered , the. bears have suffered a total
rout nd have shown symptoms of ex
haustion and disposition to cover short
contracts as Uio week promised ,
A marked sentimental effect was pro
duced early In the week by a published
announcement from a stock operator noted
for his boldness and many successes that
he persUtcd In his belief that prices were
too high and certain , to go lower. This
announcement Induced a considerable fol
lowing among the board room traders , who
have constituted the greater part of the
market for some tlmo past and the buoy
ancy of a few stocks on Monday following
the favorable bank statement of Saturday
dltl not awaken any general demand for
6CThcrcCwas a watchful anticipation of a
bear raid , which came on Tuesday with a
fierce onslaught upon Brooklyn Transit
nnd American Steel and Wire. On Wednps
day the battle was continued and shifted
to Sugar , Tennes ee Coal and the tobacco
stocks , when signs ot realizing sales after
the largo gain In those stocks made them
vulnerable. Only a plight effect was pro
duced on the standard railroad stocks and
Individual stocks In that department con
tinued to show striking gains. Quito a
number of olwouro Mocks were brought
forwnrd nnd the prlco run tin rapidly on
special favorable conditions of ttie proper-
tics. Powerful pool operations also cnmo
Into evidence. Organized buying of South
ern and Central Pacific and l.pulsvlllo &
Narfhvlllo were particular y noticeable.
As there are heavy holdings ot theeo
properties In foreign. , hands the stock
became scarce for delivery and the r.ao
was thus aided. The Southern railways
generally sympathized with the movement
In Louisville nnd the recent notable
strength of Tcnness.ee Coal , which was ac
companied by reports of extraordinary
favorable business conditions In the south
ern part of the country. The pressure from
bear sourcs waa largely removed as Uio
week progressed. Late In the week the
market broadened out very materially end

1 The statement of earnings for St. Paul
1 for the second week in August dissipated
some fears that the heavy decllns In the
western grain movement was affecting
1 earnings of western-railroads. The satisfac
tory conditions In Iho London money market
kot gave the promise that we may relieve
ourselves of our large foreign credits for
use at homo without upsetting foreign mar
kets , which has been the result threaten
ing for some time past.
Returns of the Bank of England and ot
Germany show that Uia recent strenuous
efforts of those Institutions to strengthen
tholr reserves are meeting with success ,
though a somewhat drastic restriction of.
credits and a contraction of note circula
tion has been required In each case to no

GEMS LOST IN SEA'S SANDS.
Many Prcclon * Stoneii Have Jlcun
Dropped by Unthem.
The recent loss by a Chicago woman of
fashion of a valuable diamond earring upon
the eanda of Newport has led to reminis
cences of ether similar losses. It has been
computed that over $ .2,000,000 worth of Jew
els are lost every season at American sum
mer resorts. The greater part of these dis
appear at the seaside , and It Is believed that
a comparatively small part are actually
fitolon. At the various summer resort ho
tels at this tlmo every bulletin board will bo
profusely placarded with notices offering all
sorla of rewards for the Undine or return
at missing Jewels. Last year the loss of Jew
els frequently amounted to $10,000 In a single
Instance.
At some of the most fashlonabfe resorts ,
such as Newport or Dar Harbor , the owners
of very costly Jewels frequently take the
piecautlon of leaving the gems In some safa
deposit vault In the city and sending all tlo
way to town for them every time they are
needed. That so much more Jewelry Is lost
proportionately In the summer than during
the winter Is duo to the rather foolish dis
play which is made of such valuables on
hotel piazzas , tbo sands , and even In tlio
ocean itself. The bathers at thn fashionable
resorts sometimes indulge In the caprice o
appearing In the water wearing several thou
sand dollaro' worth of diamonds. The
chances of losing theeo trinkets while ex
orcising or lying about on the beach ore
of course , very great. The loaa of Jewelry
in this way Is constantly causing much un
just suspicion. A wealthy woman at Nar
ragansett last summer reported the loss o *
some $7,000 worth of Jewels to the tote
proprietor nnd suggested that ( Jio hotel cm
ployes might throw some light on the sub
Ject. A careful Investigation failed to reveal
veal the Jewels , however , until early thl
summer , when the lady herself on return
Ing to the hotel found them under a lees <
hoard in the floor where elm had her&ol
plnced them a year ago for safe keeping am
completely forgotten < hrm.

CATTLE There were not enough cattle
licre of any kind to make any test of the
market , and of the few reported in the yards
a considerable proportion ware cheap cattle
bought on the Kansas City market and
shipped direct to packers. With so row
cattle here buyers were indifferent ana
there Is nothing to say about it except that
there was really no market.
Receipts of cattle this week , as will be
noted from the table of receipts were a
little larger than for previous weeks
owing to the Increasing run of range cat
tle , but they were none too large to supply
the demand , which was good all the week.
Values , however , on most kinds of cattle
tended downward during the e-arly part of
the week , though In some Instances there
wn.s a little recovery near the close.
Prlmo cornfed steers are probably Just as
high as any tlmo and buyers claim that
they would pay $0.00 for fancy beeves if
they were here. Aside from the best corn-
feds the market for the week could safely
bo quoted 15S20o lower , and in extreme
cases some would say 25o lower. At the
Bamo time grars beef steers are very hleh
and for the week have shown vary little
change , possibly they are a little lower.
The demand for grass cattle at this point ,
owinr to the very active competition be
tween the klllera and feeder buy r , has
been of such a character as to ktep prices
up , and It IB safe to say that this is by
long odds the highest market on that kind
of cattle In the whole country.
Cows and heifers were In fair demand
during the whole of the week , but the ten-
rtancy of the market was on the eMe of
a little easier prices. The better kinds of
cows and heifers , which would bo in-
fluonoed by the decline of cornfed steers , are
10lGc lower for tha week. The medium
kinds are not * o very much lower.
Good quality h avy fcedsrs have been
active sellers all th week and prices have
not shown much , if any. change. On the
otiier hand there has been a surplus of
common lljht oattle and yearlings and the
market on that kind is 15C2Sa lower than
last week. Representative sales :

HOGS The market opened this morning
5c higher on desirable kinds of hogs of all
weights and the trade was active at the
advance The most of the arrivals changed
hands early In the morning , but big heavy
hogs were slow. Later on whan Chicago
came lower the market at this point eased
off and closed a little weaker than It
opened. Common hogs , both rough heavy
and sklppy light , sold down to $4.403J4.47'/4. '
medium weight mixed loads sold largely ut
$4.60. llR'ht mixed at $4,6d34.G5 , good light at
$4.GO(4.62V4 ( and choice light assorted hogs
at $1.70
Hogs this week have had both ups and
downs. The week opened with valuffl
higher , but on Wednesday the market broke
sharply , which cut off the run. During
the last three days values uteadlly ad
vanced and at the cloze of the week the.
market Is at the highest point touched BO
far this year. The highest point reached
by the market during 189S was touched on
May 17 , when the average price wns $ I.4S ,
and it will be noted from the table of
average prices that there has been no tltno
during the month of Auguit since 1SW when
hoira sold as high as at the present tfmc.
The demand this week waw good on all days
except when prices were lower and when
the heaviest packers were decidedly bearish ,
Rcpreaantatlve sales ;
SHEEP The market was bare of fiuppllcs
again today and there was nothing to make
any test of values.
During the first three days this week a
few sheep and lambs were received , but
Mneo then th market has been. bare. Tha
shutting oft ot lh receipts WAS du to ( ho
rula adoptM by the government reprc nta.-
tlvo that nil sheep , even If Intended for
other markets , must l > dipped. Shipper *
nccorOlncly have been going by thli niitr *
ke-l , but , as noted below , thn obnoxloui rula
has been euspendetl , so that ft larger run
Is anticipated for the comln * week.
Owing to the starvation r < K h > < prlcei
at this point have been very hl n in com
tvxrlson to other markets , though there hm
been a decline for toft week Amounting W
l&CiCoc. It U safe to say that a tew lo.tdi
of Rood mutlon sheep or lambs would sell
right tip to Chicago prices , owingto thl
food demand on the part ot packer * .
The rcp r < has gone out Into the country
that fat sheep brought In hero could not b
roshlpjxil to another m.irk t without b ln |
dlpptd. This Is nn error and this w ok In.
structlons arrived from Washington not t
require clean sheep Intended for pme oth t
market to 4io Ulj ped. This loaves the ruling
the same a It always was lhat Is , shaep
'brought In hero and sold to be taken baclj
Into the country end put on f od will havd
to be dipped , but none others.
