THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , NOVEMBER 5. 1899 , 21 CONDITION OF OJIAll/VS / TRADE _ Valnog Glvo PromiBe of Remaining About Stationary for a Time. COOLER WEATHER VERY WELCOME TO ALL AH llciioH nn Active Ilnnl. notm Dolnu ; hi All Mnr * of Sunniin- able ( looilN Kvcr > enc Hopeful .y of nn Active Winter Trade. Jobbers In nil lines report n very satis factory trade for last week. There Poems to have been no particular rush , but simply ft Rood , stonily demand for all staple and ncaBonablo goods. The cooler weather of last week Btlmuluted the retail trade through this section of the country , but as yet the Jobbers have not fell the Influence , but are looking for a still greater demand In the near future. There wore fewer ad vances reported OB going Into effect last week than for some time past and the fooling seems to bo that prices on many lines , which have been steadily advancing , are going to remain about stationary , at leaat for a while. There are of course certain lines which will doubtlew continue to advance for some time , but they are In the minority. The local retail situation was greatly Im proved by the cooler weather of lust week , which created a demand for winter cloth ing. Practically all the stores did a big business and are looking for a still greater rush to follow the llrst storm. Nothing of much Interest to the general trade was reported by the wholesale grocers. Trade conditions remain practically the same as they were a week ago , which mcatis that local Jobbers are having about all the business they can handle. The mar ket on practically nil lines Is In a good , ntrong position , but prices are In Just about the same notches they wure a week ago. The coffee market Is especially strong , as prices are steadily going up In Hrazll , In plto of the enormous crop. There was a light advance , on beans last week and a few advances of minor Importance were reported in canned goods. Practically all kinds of nuts are also firming up. There was no uhango In the market on dried fruits or In any other line that Is worthy of mention. The Hardware market Is also In just about the same position It was In a week ago. There is a feeling of tlrmncss all along the line , but aside from a tew advances of little Interest prices remain stationary. Job bers do not Bccm to bo anticipating any Important advances for thfc near future , nor do they desire any. The feeling seems to be that prices have gone plenty high enough and that a still greater rlH > would in the long run work to the disadvantage of nil concerned. As to the condition of trade , little need be said. Jobbers are shipping poods Into the country as rapidly as they can handle them and at the present time there necms to bo no Indication of a falling off In the volume ot business. Traveling men speak very encouragingly of the con- dltlons existing In the country and pay that Indications were never more favorable tot o. big winter's trade than at the present time. Collections , too , are In good shape. o that Jobbers say there Is absolutely nothing to complain of. Sellers Have Their Way. Prices on many lines of dry goods evi dently have not yet reached the limit , as la ehown by the reports received from eastern markets. Sellers still have things prac tically their own way , as they are unable to turn out goods fast enough to meet the demand. Last week local Jobbers received notices from a number of the largest manu facturers of hosiery and underwear to the affect that they are oversold far Into the future and 'because ' of this shortage and the Increased cost of raw material they have been forced to advance prices. Jlany liavo oven gene so far as to withdraw their lines From the market entirely , so that it Is practically Impossible to get new etocks at the present tlmo at any price. [ Manufacture that are accepting orders tfor future delivery are holding their lines of lioelory at an advance of from 5 to 10 cents per dozen and underwear at an ad vance of from 12',4 to 25 cents per dozen. Local jobbers , however , are well supplied In these lines and conscnucntly arc able to fill their orders. Other lines of dry goods are also In a very strong position , with the demand In most cases in excess of the supply. Local trade conditions nro not much different from what they- were a week ago. The volume of business con tinues heavy , even though there have been jio severe storms in this section. The cool weather Is helping out to some extent , but there has hardly been enough as yet to help the jobbers to nny great extcnl. Boot and shoo jobbers , us usual , have favorable reports to make regarding the condition of trade. The weather Is of course a little too dry to make a big demand for footwear , but at the same time a good deal In being shipped into the country. Local Jobbers now nave their men on the road with spring samples and , while but a few of them have been beard from , no doubt Is expressed but what they will land fully the usual number of advance orders. Rubber goods men are Btlll busy straight ening up the rush ot bus-lness that came In Just before the first of the month , whei ) the 5 per cent advance went into effect. Very few now orders have been received this month , as nearly every one laid in a supply before the advance , nnd it will now take a snow storm to bring In much busi ness. Jobbers say , however , lhat the pres ent lull is very welcome , a their stocks nro nil cut to pieces and they need a llttla tlma to get In shape for the next rush. They have plenly ot the heavy weight goods , but the supply of the light weights Is rnlher low. The manufacturers are also In about the same position , so there may be some dlfllcultv in ccttlnir new Blocks. The hide market is somewhat firmer than It was n week ago , but prices remain prac tically the same. Receipts are gradually increasing , but they are still rather light. Fruit nail Produce. Fruit and produce men were complaining somewhat last week that their trade was rather quiet. No one seems to know what should cause a falling off In the demand and the general opinion In that It Is but a temporary condition. There was con siderable whipping demand , but at the mime time not us much as In previous weeks. There has been but very Ilttlu change In market conditions since last report. New York grapes are still quite plentiful at 20c and are in good condition. There Is no change either In the quotations on such apples ns come under the head ot choice Hhlpplng stock. There are still a good many poor apples In the market that are selling nt a low tlgurc , but they are not being shipped. In the way of tropical fruits there Is but llttli ) doing , IIH there Is no demand for lemons and oranges nre rather high to meet with ready sale. Mexicans are quoted ut $4.CO per barrel. There Is now nullo a demand for celery , prices ranging from COc to 40c per dozen bunches , accord ing to size. Cranberries nre now plentiful on the market und are soiling from } 5.M > to J6.00 for Cupo Cods and fancy are held at t6.60iP7.00 , Sweet potatoes nro growing nearcc and are now quoted ut $2.23 per barrel , Rutubago turnips are quoted nt Hie ) > cr pound and cnbbagu nt the same price. The egg market was rather weak with re ceipts liberal nnd demand only fulr. Good Block ! quoted nt 15c. Poultry Is also In good supply nnd the market Is considerably lower than It was n week ago , Hens uru worth about 6c and spring chickens 0c , The butter market Is the same ns It was a week ago , with receipts gradually on the Increase , Quail are now In reason and nre quoted ut Jl.SOHl.TU per dozen. Game Is not coming in very freely nnd more could l > o disposed of than Is received. There lane no change In oysters. XKMV YOHK ! ( ilONUUAL , MAUKKT.

NEW YORK , Nov. 4.-Slnco the surplus escrvcs of the New York banks fell to about J250.000 In mid-September the pro fessional traders In stocks have looked for a deficit in the required cash reserves of .he banks almost every week. The wiping out of the surplus shown today was , there fore , not a surprise. The week's events made the stock market peculiarly vulner able in spots nnd the slump In prices of n few stocks gave an appearance of ile- morn tallon to the marknt. Leather , es pecially , which touched 40 nt the opening and was above 39 when tie bank statement appeared slumped suddenly to 25. the irenks between transactions reaching ns high as 3 points. Marginal accounts In this specialty wcro wiped out right and left , and then the price was bid up agntn to 36. at which It closed. Sugar nnd Brooklyn Transit were also losers to the extent of over 2 points. A number of other prom inent Industrials lost between 1 and 2 lolnts , but the general list reacted only a fraction , There were some violent recov eries from the lowest level and the closing was feverish nnd greatly excited nt net osses nil through the list. The speculative excitement was Increased by the fact that the bank statement was withheld until ten minutes before the close of the trading. Efforts to close accounts in the short time remaining made the market furiously active. Tim loss In cash shown : jy the statement Is somewhat greater than was expected , which Is doubtless broucht over from last week's condition by the average , system of computations. The trivial contraction In loans of less than $250,000 can only bo explained on the as sumption that the wholesale calling of loans by the banks early In1 the week was ' offset by a subsequent very liberal exten sion of credits. The growing ease In the money market goes to confirm this view , Such extension of credits must be based on a faith of the bankers that the current drain on their cash reserve Is soon to be relaxed. The upward tendencv of New York exchange at nil Interior points during the last week Indicates the ground of this faith , The weekly bank statement of the New York clearing-house. Institutions had not shown n deficit since 18 ! > 3 , For nix weeks past , however , the surplus has been near the vanishing point nnd nt least half and { something moro of the Individual members - bers of the clearing house have been below the legal reserve limit. They have not sought to build up a surplus In that time , but have apparently been content to dis criminate In the calling of loans against collateral which did not nleaso them and , with their security thus Improved , to keep tholr funds loaned up to the limit of the legal allowance. The average cash hold ings now fall of the legal requirements by 1333,350. The nmount of loan contraction necessary to bring the proportion of re serve back to the lagal requirement would therefore bo $1,353,400. The manner In which the stock market took the reverses of the earlier part of the week and the operations of aggressive bull pools and powerful Inside Interests In various properlles during the latter part of the week have deepened the apprehen sion of the unwleldly short Interest nnd they have bought very heavily to cover con tracts. The bear party have been very per sistent nnd confident up to this time , bas ing their confidence on the higher rate for money , which is likely to continue ns long as the present unprecedented activity In business lasts. Higher Interest rates , thev argue , should bring lower prices for securi ties on which returns are fixed. The bears point to the failure of attempts to launch new Industrials und the admltlcdlv In adequate measure of value behind many Industrial slocks which have already been widely distributed at prices fur above thtmo now ruling In the market , The continued discrimination against these doubtful se curities by money-lenders and the growing Inability of Insiders to support the prices constitute a continual threat to stock | market values , nrgue the bears. But this plausible nrgumcnt loses Us force In face [ of events like those of the week. | On Tuesday the money market had de veloped a condition of severe stringency , the cell loan rate amounting to 30 per cent and largo amounts being sought at the high | Interest rates. At the same time London. < In the first alarm over the disaster nt Lady- I smith , throw upon this market nearly to- Ouo shares of various stocks. Nevertheless on that day the opening prices were generally - ' erally the lowest and seemed to be made to avoid offering foreign sellers too good n | bargain ns much as for nny othnr cause. The rccupcrntlon In prices during the re mainder of the day was marked , The bears accepted the admonition nnd proceeded to cover. Their eftorlS were met by opposing factions which bid up prices where they saw evidences of n short Interest. The re sult was some violent recoveries In some of the Industrial ? which have been mo.n vulnerable to recent attacks , It was equally evident that , with the short Interest satis fied , the tendency In the same stocks be came reactionary ncaln. The conspicuous tendency of the Inter trading of the week \vns to take up low-nrlced non-dividend paying stocks hitherto uncxploltcd In nn nctlvo speculation. Dealings in some few of these have been on an enormous scale. In the standard dividend paying railroad stocks there have been little trading. The . Impression 1ms been created that the uen- eral policy of the great railroads Is to bo the continue.1 . Investment of surplus and In putting the loadwnys on n more substan tial basis nnd Improving the equipment with a view to increased economy of j operation , This Is the conservative note of , preparation of the great llnanclnl entitles , whose Interests nre permanent and con tinuing ngnlnst the period of reaction front present prosperity , which all believe to be eventually Inevitable. Conspicuous ex- ninnies of this tendency nre seen In the New York Central's extra stock issue to provide extensive new equipment and In the St. Paul's continued heavy outlav from current earnings for operntlnc expenses. The chairman of St. Paul's directors says significantly : "Wo nro spending n great deal of money for betterments , for which the cost con stantly Increases. The monov for the Im provement comes out of earnings , It Is not surprising that our net earnings should be materially reduced. " The same policy manifest throughout the railroad world Is Intimated In relation to some of the great Industrial comblna-1 lions. This work Is more advanced In the I case of some railroads which have iiasseil I through bankruptcy and reorganization i than In that of railroads which paid con tinuous dividends. The exlreme strlncency of the money market during the early part' of the week has relaxed with the redlstrl- | butlon of some of the November 1 rclm- i bursemenls. The luterlor demand for I money has diminished , but not ceased. ! The unsolved question which most Interests i Wall street Is whether the reflux of funds which Is usual after the crop movement is ; to occur this year. Compared with last year there Is to bo considered the enormous expansion In interior business ns retlectcd in bank clearings , Iho lack of relief from gold imports this year and the absorption of funds by the United Slates treasury In the laklng up of surplus revenues , as against n conslant supply to the money market last year In the disbursement of the government's deficit. Business In bonds has been on a larjre , scale , especially In some lower grade i speculative Issues , which have been sharply i advanced. United States 2s , the 3s nnd new 4s advanced % and the 5s , registered , a ; , nnd I 5s , coupon , nnd old 4s ' .i In the bid price. I The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says : There was very little business on the Slock exchange hero today , owing to the absence of news from the Transvaal. Americans wcro dull nnd , slallonary. Spanish 4s wcro 63 % , Tlntos 46i , Anacondas 9 13-16 , Utahs 71i nnd Bos tons 1 5-16. Money was very plentiful , being kept in hand for the Impotidlng issue ot JC3.0QO.OOO of treasury bllK part of the war vote ; to be paid on the loth Inst. For the llrst lime since Ihc panic of 1833 the clearing house banks of Now York City report a deficit in reserves , the cash on hand falling .below the required limit by $338.350. The deficit Is duo to the heavy withdrawals in cash , contraction in loans and deposits having been insufficient to lower requirements ito the proper llcure. The statement is further complicated by the addition of a new bank. th& Hide and Lealher National , to the clearing house. In order to get at the real changes for proper comparison it Is necessary to offset the details ot this Institution. When this Is done It nppears that the loss of the regular - lar members has been $2,619.100 In loans , $7.320,900 In deposits and $3,259.200 in cash , which puts a new meaning on the exhibit as a whole. A great deal of surprise was ex pressed , the statement appearing that loans had fallen off less than $ mooo. as pumtanea in the total , and In explanation the expand ing business on th& Stock exchange was cited. Speculation has been much more ac tive of late and little , if any , contraction on loans was looked for. It seems , however , that loans really have been reduced over $2,500,000 , which eliminates what otherwise must ton regarded as a discrepancy. The known operations of the week , so far as cash changes are concerned , do not differ much from the bank reports. There was a loss of over $2,000,000 to the interior and nearly ns much to the treasury. The No vember dividend period was responsible for some unsettling of business. The future of the market hinges now on the continuance of the interior demand. At this time last year money had begun to return to New York , but up to the present the outgo much exceeds the receipts. It Is worthy of note lhat the domestic exchange nt leading cen ters IB changing slowly In favor of New- York , funds on this city being quoted ut par in Chlcneo for the tlrst ttme s'.nco last spring. But this cannot be taken to signify that money Is about lo come easl , for money rates In Chicago show signs of ad vance. The weak point In the present situa tion Is the continued absorption ot funds from the banks Into the treasury , an opera- lion that takes funds out of the market quite as effectively ns an export ot specie The following nre the quotallonp for the leading stocks on the New York exchange today : _ AtchJson 2254 Texas & Pacific. . 19 do pfd 65 % Union Pacific . . . 47'i Baltimore & O. . 53 do pfd 7GH Canadian Pacific , 93 Wabash S'l , Canada South. . . . 53 do. pfd. . . . . . . 2214 | I London Stock < ) n < > ta < loiiN , LONDON , Nov. 4. t p. m.-CloBlng : Cons. , money , . . .1017 N.

The tendency has been rather upward , and for the week it Is safe to say that values are fully lOc higher. ISach day's receipts have met with quite ready sale , and the market has been In a good , healthy con dition all the week. Cows and heifers have also been prettv good sellers this week and toward the close values firmed up a little , so that prices are a little stronger at the close than they were a week ago. Bulls nave sold In about the name notches all the week , and there have been no changes of any importance. At the opening of the week stackers and feeders were In good demand and the mar ket strong , but later on the country de mand seemed to full , owing presumably to the fact that farmers arc busy In their corn llelds. In consequence of that cattle began to accumulate in the hands of specu lators and the market broke rapidly. Good feeders were not so very plentiful and they were not over lOJJlfic lower for the week , but the medium kinds were anywhere from 15J25c } lower , or pretty nearly back to the low time. The heaviest decline was on stock calves , which have been comlne In more freely than they wore going out , so that everyone was loaded up with them and values on that kind of stuff dropped off ISQEOc.

The close was weak and lower. The demand was good for the last day of the week nnd the most of the hogs changed hands early ftnd the pens were cleared in good season. As'a whole the market wnp in very satis factory condition for the last day of the week. While the hog market has been In pretty good shape this week as regards supply nnd demand , the tendency of prices has been downward. The week opened with an easier markc.t , and there was a decline of a big EC on Tuesday and n still further do- fllne on Wednesday of about 2Jc During the last three day of the week the market did not show inucn change as Indicated bv the average prices paid for all the hogs. The week closed with the market a irood 5c lower than It was nt the close of the previous week. Representative sales : 59 . M. . 37. . C7. . M. . 09. . 49. , 7G. . G7. . OS. . 73 ! ! 71. . 67. .

Values did not show much change as com pared with yesterday. During the early part of the week the market showed somn strenglh nnd prices pnld at this point wcro high nn compared with other market points. Later on In the week values cased off. so that n part of the ndvance wn < lost. On Friday Chicago reported lambs IBITKc lower and difficult to sell even then , with sheep slow at n decline of lOe. The bad ehan of the market nt Chicago was responsible for the weakness that nppenred In this market.
