THE NEBRASKA CROP OUTLOOK.
TRADE CONDITIONS.

Money continues easy, and the supply Is
equal to the demand, all wants being
promptly met at Thea usual rates, SOLO per
cent Country banks are beginning to call
for currency, needed in moving the heavy
crops now nearing maturity. The crop out
look continues very favorable and unless
frost cuts in between now and September 10,
the state will be in a very prosperous condi-
tion indeed at the close of the year. Prices
for all products indigenous to Nebraska are
high rs compared with recent years, and ad-
vices in regard to crops in Europe are de-
Cidedly unfavorable, so that there seems
to be no doubt but what the surplus
OF this state will be large,
and in demand at very remuuerative figures
General trade is very good for the season
Collections are not at all unsatisfactory, and
when harvest is made the financial aspect
will doubtless improve and matters in that
line shape themselves very comfortably.
The produce markets have been well sup
piled with fruits and vegetables from home
markets and from California and the south,
and prices have been quite reasonable Teas
are selling somewhat low ana there is no
great disposition to buy. Cable advices are
frmer IN tone, however, and kilograms from
Japan report the markets there stronger.
The cable advices indicate that the shrinkage
in the crop will be greater than was at first
reported. reported: ,uo .,o,, 49,, ~ ,,,r ,0,,,na and
it is not thought that prices will go lower
for the present.
Coffee is in fair general demand and Java,
which is in light supply, is selling more freely.
Brazil coffee is unchanged. The following
table shows the stocks of Brazil coffee in
first hands at the seaboard and ailoat for our
shores:

sales are light. Boston advices state that
the Novelty has brought in one fare worth
about $1,000, but these were consumed
for market purposes, and the dealers
in salt mackerel are almost bare Of stock.
Last Year sl4.50 per bbl was paid
for mafeerel to go in pickle. This week s24
was paid in Boston for no better fish. The
catch OF mackerel by the New England feet
thus fur the present year is the smallest for a
like period in many years, being only IA, 150
bbls., against 26, 9il to like date last year,
4,97S the corresponding period IN 1886, and
1882 in the same proportion OF 1885.
Canned peaches are likely to go higher.
The agents Of leading Gamers in Baltimore
and Camden, Del, have withdrawn all for
mer price lists for extra peaches, owing to
the scarcity and relatively high cost of
choice fruit All the indications are that
the pack of extras is going to be decidedly
short and prices high, which may or may not
affect the values of the medium and low
grade, of which the supply bids fair to be
ample
Secretary Littler Of the Chicago produce
exchange, reports as follows: "Fancy
makes of butter are very firm and low grades
excessive SupDly. Cheese steady
and shade frmer. The egg market is very
