4 CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Dull Benson is Now at an End and Jobbers Are Preparing for Big Trade. MARKETS IN GOOD, HEALTHY CONDITION Sagnr fiorx l ji I'lve Point nml Pros pects Are I'm untitle for Still llltthrr (luntntliins In tln Nrnr Tiilnrr. Them Is Utile doubt that Utnnlia Jobbers and retailers uro now on tho ovu of ono of the best seasons over experienced In this tit v. With the month of September tho rush of full business sets In and la wall maintained until tho holiday. Iast year was, of course, an exceptionally busy sea son, but present Indications are that trado will bo heavier than over bofon1. Omaha ns a Jobbing tenter Is In better favor than ever before, owing In ti large extent to tho Improvement In the market Itself. Jobbers are carrying better and larger assortments than In previous years, their traveling men uro morn numerous anil covering a larger territory and the number of houses local lnc hern In rnlillv lncreasini. Then, too tho fait Is pointed to that the country tributary to this market Is also In a must prosperous condition. The smaller towns are tnrmy ana enjoying mo nicriu imiiuu ngu of tho surrounding farmers. The tun pumptlon of all classes of goods has greatly increased in wus section 01 me rouiiuj ami u mill irniniiis. ami. ns merchants are nhnwlni ri urenli r lenilenrv to liny their applies hern than ever before. It Is thought uii) o.iiiooK lor 101 ai jouiM'ia is wry en couraging Indeed. Another promising feature Is the Interest being din. laved In the mining rail festivities. Merchants by Hie thousands are preparing to bo In Omaha during tho Ak-Sar-Bcn onrnlal and make their fall purchases at tho same time The fact that they can have their railroad fare nald urovlded they do buy their goods hero Is bound to bo a drawing can: ami i'unsi'iUMiuiy jouners are preparing for a hi nvy housa trade. Be tullers will, ot course, also cotno In for their share of the patronage, so that all urunruos or traao win lie stimulated. Tho markets as n whole are In n very healthy condition. By far tho majority of fl'irtuatloiiM have lu i n In the illreition of higher prices and all Indications seem to point townrd good, strong markets for no mo iitno to come. Mitirp Advnncc In .Minor. Tho principal featuro to the wholesale rrorcry market last week was the advauco n all grades of sugar, amounting to fie per hundred. The market Is very llrm nt tho higher quotations and another advance In the nenr tiitiirn would not bo surpris ing. IWlncrUf nil over the country uro wen Roici up ami are Kilting orucrs to no tilled In turn, as they anticipate a still greater Increase in the volume of trade In the next few weeks. Jobbers nt this nolnt state that the demand Is something enormous ror mis season or tne year nnu much heavier than In several years past. The canned goods sit latton shows but llt tlo change since Inst report. The only fluctuation or any Importance Is tho ad vance on tomntnes of L'VU'C, owing to the reports of light pack In the west, which have given eastern packera un opportunity to rnlso tholr prccn. Cheeso Is still going up und present indications aro that prices will be nt 111 higher In the near fuiure. The long continued drouths In Wisconsin have dried up the pastures to such nu extent that tho production of cheese has been greatly diminished. At the name time home consumption has been Increasing nnd tho demand from abroad Is also unusually heavy for this season, so a shortage has been developed. Tho market on dried frulta Is also In a very strong position. This Is particularly true of apricots. It Is thought that the prices on the new crop of prunes will Hhortly bo announced and the general opinion Is that while the small sizes may be quoted a little lower tho largo sizes will bo higher than the.v were a ear ago. There has not been much change In tho coffee market since a week ago. The de mand at tho present time Is very light and prices aro weak, although an attempt was made to spring tho market Uc, It was nearly a failure, however, and did not In crease tho amount of buying to an ap preciable extent, linasled coffeo Is still quoted the name as It was a week ago. The association In control of tho Cali fornia almond slt.iation announced Its opening prices last week. It l.s claimed that tho crop of importr-d almonds Is smaller than usual nnu for that reason tha export demand will bo exceptionally heavy this year. The assuclalluii on that ac count has advanced Its prices Ziic. over last year's llgures. other lines remain Just about where they were a week ago. Hardware .Vlnrl.ct (lulet. So far an price lluctiatlons are concerned tho hardware market has been quiet during the jiast week. There have been no changes of enough importance to be worthy of mention and Jobbers uro not anticipating nny for tho Immediate future. As u gen erul thing they nre looking for a good healthy market as it result of the big de mand that Is expected all over tho country Everything at tho present time seems to point toward a better feeling among the Iron nnd steel manufacturers and unless they misjudge tho situation they will have plenty of business during tho coming season. Locally Jobbers seem to find nothing to complain of. Trade Is moving along In nice shape und preparations uro being Hindu tor a good lively fall demnnd. In a short time now the advance orders will begin to move out at a rapid rate, nH It Is not long before cold weather goods will be strictly sonsonnble. Collections aro In good shape and In fact everything Is In a most satis factory condition. Dry (Jooiln Market I'lrni, Tho local dry goods market Is still char acterized bv the samo activity that h is provalled throughout tho season. Ordcri for fall goods uro coming In nt n good, rapid rate, and traveling men nre greatly pleased over tho outlook for future bust, ness. They say merchants are la elegant shape and aro all counting on a big tall demand. Tho market is In good shape, taking everything Into consideration, and tho cotton goods market 1m particularly strong. The Munition Is, of course, very unsettled us yet. for no one can tell what tho price of cotton will be. .Manufacturers are basing their calculations on the S-rent cotton, but whether that Is where It will land or n t Is still a matter of speculation. A repro sentatlve of n local house, In spoaklng of the situation, Mild that ho would not bo surprised If cotton did not go down to tho S-cent mark, and In that event there would bo nemo lively hustling lor goods. Tho prices that are being quoted now nre '2ij tier cent higher than thev were a year nu, but last year was, of vmirso rather .ow. I'ndervve.ir, hosiery and such lines are bring held at very flint prices und gooj Rtoclts are hard to Und. (iood lli'iiiiiiiil ror Hunts mid Shoes, There has been no special feature to tho boot and shoe trade during tho past we. k Orders are still being reco ved In good num bers and tho number of buyers coming on tho market is steadily increasing. Travel lug men llnd a great doil to feel en couraged over nnd prophesy that befora tho season Is at an end tho ncords wld compnre very favorably with thoic of nnv previous fall. Advance shipments aro heln? pushed out, particularly to the far West und mountainous regions, wdiero they need winter goods early In tho fall Buhner Roods nri also Helling well nnd fully as much hut-luesA in being transacted a- could bo expected. Bobber smthlng li sidling In good Hhnpe, and espeilull is that true of mackintoshes. Krult nml Produce. fruit and produce men reported another week of good trndo. The locil demand ban been In unusually good nh.ipe fur several weeks past, taking Into consideration the hot weather. Shipping orders nre also coming In freely. California fruits have been In big demand, 1ml prices hold Just about steady, Grapes, both home grown and I'allfornl.i htoik. are plentiful, and are meeting with ready silo. Tokay ;,re quoted nt M and Concords at IS'oUJc. There nothing particularly new In the vegeta M" line. The egg market Is still firming up nnd quotations are now placed nt i:Hj5fllc, and the feeling is tirm at that. Tho supply continues rather light, while the demand is heav.v Poultry remains Just about steady at last week's prices. Hutu r Is aluo unchanged. The oyster season is onie more on ind dealers report tho qualltv of the stock received so far as exceptionally geo (or the opening of the se.ison. The quotations will bo found in another column.

Much money changed hands In tho market today. New Issues of capital, aggregating nearly 2,000,000, had to bo met, besides X2,GO0,00O Interest and dividends distributed. Tho attendance on the Stock exchnnge was small and thero was an absence of business, generally dull weather proving depressing. Homo rnllwnys were practically nt a standstill. Northwester.is were easier and tho disturbances In the shipping and otner trnucs ac uiasgow, consequent on tne probability of quarantine regulations tend ing to affect Scotch railroads by causing n falling oft In traffic receipts for a few weeks. The continuance of continental In quiry for Chinese properties resulted In a general advanco of from & to 1 point, re flecting tho Improved opinion of operators on tho latest developments In the far east. Thero was much Irregularity In Amer icans. At tho opening thoy were dull and below nnrltv. but grew firmer nnd closed quiet. The Indisposition to do business was owing io mo rnct mat tho xow York Stock exchange was lowed. Southern Pa. clflcs wero especially III in.

The llnanclnl authorities Insist that tho 21,000,1)00 Bank of England reserve Is none too large nnd that to nrevent an outflow ot gold to Now York or Paris It Is essential to maintain Interest rates here.

AMERICAN COAL IN EUROPE Dealer from This Side lUiieet Mueh 1'rollt from the Fuel I 'll hi I ii i', LONDON, Sept. 1 American coal oper ators and their agents aro apparently Bwarmlug to England and rumors of many Importaut deals tilled the ulr durlug the last week. W. I'. Head of Chicago Is horc on his way to Paris. Ho Is hopeful of supplying both tho French and Russian ravics with steam coal from West Vlrolnla. Mr. Kcnd had a long Interview with tho Ilubbian consul )csterday nnd was In con sultation nt the Russian naval attuehe today boforo proceeding to 1'nrls. E. M. Hopkins of rhlhidclphln this morn ing closed a coutract for 100,000 tons of Ilnnna run-of-mlne coal for Immediate de livery at Mediterranean ports. Mr. Hop Kins said to a representative of tho Asso ciated I'ress; "Consumers aro not familiar with Amer ican uuscresned coal, hut continental deal ers here aro. Therefore, I am selling to them, I do not anticipate trouble In se curing chirtors." I'risident Cas&att of the Pennsylvania railroad has gone to Paris cn tho samo business, while the presence of Robert Pltcalrn, superintendent of tho Pennsyl vania's Pittsburg division, nt tho Carlcton hotel Is occasioning considerable gossip. Mr. Pltcalrn goes to Scotland for u visit to Androw Carntglo early next week and It has been said there Is on foot a schemo to provide tho Pennsylvania coal syndleato with trnnsatlantle transportstlcn. Mr. Pltcalrn said to a representative of the Associated Piess: "My visit to Mr. Carneglo Is not exactly on the errand sug gested. I am not miito suro how long the present coal famtno under existing condi tions In England will continue. My per sonal Idea U that American inlno owners nro apt to find u better mafket in Medit erranean or Black tea ports than In coun tries whoio Knglnnd Itself villi be a competitor.

'1 ho cattle inurkct has been In good shape all the week. Tho supply has been Just nbout normal, varying but little from last week s receipts or from tho corresponding week of last year. Tho demand was good for all kinds of cattle, with tlin nniilhln exception ot common grades of cows, and i.i'ii-a iiaui nmu vury oausiuciory. i 110 bulk of tho receipts all the week wero inade up of western cattle nnd were bought lnrgcly by yard traders to bo sent hnelc Into the country as feeder?. Packers wero looking for killers, but found comparatively lew that wero suitable for that purpose. Cornfed steers havo not been In very heavy supply tho past week. The demand, however, was uood for the better urnrl'i and tho market on most days was In ,103d shnpe. For tho week It Is safe to call It strong to 10c or 15c higher In somo cnse.i. The medium grades, such nr come In com petition with tho westerns, have not moved so readily, and nro probably no more than stendy for tho week. Tho cow market has been the ono bad feature of this market r.nd of others as well. The sunnlv was liberal nml Mm ton. dency was In the direction of lovvr price? "ii ii muiirn. Eivni me nesi iiinus are steady to a dlmo lower, and from that the market shadex down to 10Ki25e lowpr nn dm common stuff. It takes good cows now to bring 13 or over, and commission men nro advising their shippers not to sen I In loo much cow stuff at the present tlmo and give the market a chance to recover, din ners are not so much dlff-rent thnn thv wero at the close of last week, thmiph tiu.v aro n little lower. Bulls have sold falrlv wel rill thn w...lt though the coarse heavy kinds are a llttlo lower than they were u week ago. Tho good stock bulls, however, have brougli' good strong prices alt the week. In splto of the fact that tho bulk of the receipts this week were on tho feeder order the market Is higher than It was ut the "lose of last week. Tho good heavyweights or vearlliiKS of cood nunlftv urn nviir. higher for tho week. Tho common kinds, however, are not nny better, prices remain ing Just about steadv. Stock hdrnru ham also advanced nbout tho samo amount, but cows havo not shown much Improvement. Western grnss cattlo wcro In good supply all tho week. The few bunches that wero good enouch for killers bronchi limt nimm steady prices. Texas cattlo nlso arrived in good numbers and tnny bo called steady for the week.

Tho heavy hogs were rather slow and were left until the last, but practically everything sold In Just about yesterday's notches. Tim coarso heavy weights, though, In some cases, may havo sold a Utile easier. Latn ti tho morning a train arrived with several loads of hogs and tho market on those vyas rather idovv for a time, but they were finally bought up nt nearly stendy prices, though the feeling was weak, particularly on tho henvler weights. The supply of hugs has not been very heavy this week, being 11,170 head less than last week, but 6,170 head morn than tho same week last year. Tho general tendency of tho market has been upward, us tin table, of average prices will show. On Sinn day the market took n ilmp. but advanced slightly on Tuesday, held wlenily on Wednesday, lost 2c on Thursday, but gained 5o on I rldav and held steadv again on Saturdiiy.
