THE CmAITA DAILY BEE: PI'XDAT, OCTOTJET? 21, 1000. 17 CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Volume of Businesa Very Satisfactory, but Oolder Weather Would Improve It. MARKETS GENERALLY WELL MAINTAINED Prospects for future lluslness AVere ?tver Mnro l'nvonihle Tlinn Sow anil .lubbers Are Preparing for II lie Sorliitc Trade, The demand nt tills point for practically Rll lines of merchandise continues excep tionally heavy for this season Of the year. Jobbers Htuto that a compared with last year they aro selling more guods and In fact a number of them say that October so far has broken all previous records. When It Is taken Into consideration th"- tho weather has not been conduclvo to a rapid movement of winter goods, and alao when tint pollUcal situation Is called to mini tho prevent demand Is rather sur prising. There Is no doubt but what a (treat many merchants arc holding hack thdr order, until after election, but It um-H not npiur that as many of them aro following that polley ns Is usually tho caso dulng a presidential campaign. Trade out In tlii country seems to be of very liberal proportions and thern Im no doubt but what rotallurs will experience an enormous dc man I Immediately after the first cold wave. They seem to realize that fact and are keeping their sloeks in roo1 shape so as to bo prepared for the rush of business when it doe! come. Jobbers, of course, have not experience ,1 n very heavy reorder bus ncss Hi y.jt, owing to the fact that rotnllers' xtock arc not sulllclcntly broken to make heavy purchases necessary. A great Irn t rovemi Dt, however, Is looked for in that Iln 1 before long ... Spring business Is coming along In kooo nh .in- nnd Indications at tho present time arc that Jubbers will havo Breater success In landing advance business than ever bo fore. The, markets have not fluctuated to a very Kn.it rxtcnt sltuo last report. With few exceptions prices hava been well main tained and tho general tendency Is by no means' in the direction of lower quotations, Kwry oif seems to have, great rpntldence In futuro values In practically nil lines and U3 a result tho market could not well bo in a more healthful condition. CoHce Market Wonk. Tho heavy recelptn of coffee at nil ports, which wils referred to a week ago, stl'l continue. This Is somewhat In the nature of a sjrprlse to most people In this country In view of the persistent reports sent out earlier In the season of a short crop. As a result of tin- Increase, in tho visible supply tlm imirki'l has been weak nnd nrlros lire now cent lower than at last report. It Is thought by some that tho heavy receipts nre accounted for by the fact that very few growers In llrazlt aru holding onto their crcn, ns they aru nnvlous to market it, owing to the disturbed llnunclul condition or 1110 country, i ne raci remains, never thcless, that the crop is larger than pre dieted. Tii re has been no change in augar quota tlons since last week. The new crop of raws is now arriving on tho market, which Is relieving tho shortage. Tho demand for tho rellned. however, continues exception ally heavy nnd as a result tho market is llrm at last week's quotations. Owlnir to the continued wnrm weather most llneH of dried fruit remain unchanged, Prmlle.tloiiM. though, aro still belmr freely made that higher prlro.i will rule as soon as colder weather nrrlveH, which will stimu late tho demand. Evaporated upples have nlriailv nilvnnecd from N to ti cent. This is owing to tho heavy winds In New Yorlt and Mlchlunn. which did considerable dam ago to the growing crop and as n result not as many apples will be ovuporated as was previously expected. Tho eimneil irnnris market continues in a Rood, strong position. This Is particularly true of eastern peaches anil tomaloen and thu same mav be said of California reaches. It Is reported that the extra standards aro well cleaned up, which accounts for tho Urmcr feeling. (iootl Demand fur llnriMTiire. Local hardware jobbers Tiro having Just ubnut all the business they can handle. The demand for all kinds of cold weather goods Is exceptionally heavy and in fuct it la Hated that never before, was such an enor mous trade experienced in this city as Is going on at the present time, In spite of that fact JohbctA ilguro that a drop in tem perature would makii business still more active. They nro still having considerable dilliuulty to net enough stock to supply their customers, but by dividing what does arrlvo amonu their buyers they succeed In keeping them fairly well supplied. This shortage does not apply alone to this mar kot. for tho same conditions exist i.ruc tlrally nil over tho country. Manufacturers are apparently making nn effort to enteh up with their business, but thus far have not mado much headway owing to tho large number of orders being placed every day. Tho market Is In practically tlm same condition It was a week ago. No advance! havo takon place, but at the name time thero have been no declines and none nro being anticipated. It Iooks now ns though present prices would bo fully maintained almost Indefinitely, ns there Is every reason for thinking that the demand wilt rontlnm heavy and if it noes tnero is not mucn chance for a drop In values, Colder Weather Wanted. Conditions governing tho dry goods mar kiit nra-verv much tho sumo na thov wore a week ago, Manufacturers nro still hold ing their cotton goods at very llrm prices und In fact a number of them aro continu ing tho policy of mnrklng up tholr goods to a point that practloMIy limits tho demand to nbsoluto necessity. Buyers, however, do not show any anxiety to ntneo their orders nt the present time, preferring to tnko their chances later In the season. With buyers aiid sellers so far apart In their views it cannot be expected that much business will bo transacted. Trade at this point bus also been rather quiet tho laHt week. Dry goods merchants have a way of not buying until they nbso Itltnv Tlp,il Inn f?nnrla linn nn tlm wtirni weather Is cutting down tho demand In a retail way tney are not nuying very heavily at the present time, jobbers, however nro not worrying, as they aro confident that the volume of business will be nil that is de sired ns soon as seasonable wenther does nrrlvo. More' goods havo been sold on this market so far this year than during tho corresponding period of any previous year and when the fuvorable outlook for futuro trade Is taken Into consideration Jobbers havo no complaints to offtr. Collections uro coming In In a most satisfactory man ner, showing that retailors aro by no means short of funds. Trade Ilntlier Quirt. As regards Immediate business local boot nnd shoe Jobbers nro not being particularly rushed, Retailers' stocks are still unite complete and consequently they are not sending In many duplicate or sizing Up orders. While t ratio In tho country has been of fairly liberal proportions not as much has been dono ns though the weather had been moro favorable, but still Jobbers flmiro that the business Is bound to como sooner or inter and consequently aro doing no worrying. Rubber goods men nro getting In quite a few orders from merchants who havo been holding off but who want to buv their Roods before tho change In discounts, nmountlng tn a 6 per cent advance, goes Into effect November 1. Merchants In the mountain states In particular nro buvlnz freely nnd with a normal year thero Is no doubt but wnui iiuiy as mucn miriness will bo dono as usual. l'rultx nnil Produce, Tho nrango season Is now once mora In full swing.

Additional largo receipts of Klondlko gold nro In sight and more of tho European gold will como in n.Tt tL-pek. Iist week's good bank statement nnd tho largo engagement of gold for Import which continued this week gave gcnernl encour agement and the hopo was entertained that the crucial strain on tho market had been passed and that the resources would prove nulllrlent to meet tho unexpected heavy de mands. This hopo In addition la warranted from the falling off during tho week and tho interior demand for money and tho largo supply secured by the operations with dm mibtreasurv by reason of pension pay ments, and tho larger drafts payable against gold deposiis Willi inu Hyi-i mucin m a- .Kir. rnsnt nolnts. The representations of the Iron anil steel trade, tho settlement of the coal mines strike and tho fact that the uvrniri irross earninKH of railroads for the llrst week in October show an Increase again over last year, after those for tho last weeic in ttopiemner nan iiiiien on, hii help to stimulate the bullish sentiment . I There 1 much uncertainty among tho ktat authorities regarding th further movement of gold from abroad. The un doubted ability of New York to force gold homeward Itinecessary may upset tho Eu ropean markets. The' financial world of Now York, as well as that of Paris, has given abundant evidence of an appreciation of tho reilex harm that may como from that. Tho recovery of sterling exchango In Now York during the week has rclloved the pressure for itold. This recovery was due in part to tho demand from bankers to cover Imports of gold nnd In part to tho railing off In tho supply of cotton bills. The reaction In the prlco of cotton has led a reduced cash domand from foreigners, pending moro settled conditions, nut it nas also led to reduced demands on New York from tho south for currency. A renewal of the extraordinary demand for cotton would causo n resumption of southern demands for currency, nut the effect of tho current demand for gold on London Is feared. Tho current easo of money In London is called uciiiiotis, fine to the uistnuutton of govern ment credits. Tho disquiet of tho Dank of England authorities over tho futuro is seen In their efforts to stiffen rates by borrow ing from tho open market. Tho Imperial Bank of Germany has materially strength ened Its position during the week and has that far relieved the prospect. In tho pros pect of a considerable further movement of currency to the west and the expectation of any active demand for money for business which Is waiting until after election, tho assurances convoyed by tho secretary of tho vieusury icavo no grounu 10 iear mat gov ernment surplus revenue, collections will bo allowed to precipitate .1 money crisis. Dut futuro business requirements are felt to bo Huuicicniiy largo to enjoin continued cau tion In encroaching on available credits for purely speculative purposes. Business In bonds has been considerably larger and prices of many Issues havo ad vanced. United States now 4s advanced 14 and refunding 2s and old ia 4 per cent over me cun 01 a weeK ago.

This has been rather a light week In cattlo receipts, the sjpply showing a de crease as compared with last week of 4,373 head and oa compared with tho same week last year thero Is a falling oft of 8,444 head. The demand was in good shape all tho week for the botter grades of cattle und prices were well malntaluud. Tho supply of corn cattlo won rather light, the samo oa it has been ail along. Puckers seumcd to want the better grades and those answering to that description brought good, strong prices, particularly eurly in tho week. The latter part of the week thero wero no cholco cattlo on salo. while there wero a good many common and half fat stuff, for which th demand Is very poor. On Friday the market was very mean on that kind of stuff and It Is safe to call Drloos fully a dime lower for the week, though In some cases bids wero J muro uiun uiuu ilie oesi gruuca iuu.y uo quoted Just about steady. The supply of good co cows the naat week was very small. It has been a long time since aa few choice bunches wero offend on tho market and as nnckers aro all looking for that kind of cattle prices aro fully a dlmo hlghor than they were at the close of last week. There has been a liberal run of common cauners, however, and prices havo gono oft a good 10o. It Is quite probablo that there will bo a good many very common canners on the market now, na this la the time of year when they usually arrlvo. The medium grados of cows have not shown much change. The stockor and feeder market was In good shapo tho tlrst part of tho week and by Wednesday price wero all the way from 15c to 30o higher. The higher prices, however, seomod to shut off the demand from the country and on a reault the mar ket broke on Thursday and Friday and the week closed wltu very little advance over tho closo of last weolc It Is tho choice grades of alt weights that sell the best, the common kinds being neglected. Late Saturday there wero still a good many cattlo In the hands of yard traders nnd not very many buyers wero In evi dence. Stock cows and heifers havo been In light supply all tho week nnd prices havo not bhown much change. Stock bulls have been irood sellers and are a llttlo higher than they were a week ngo, Western beef cattle havo been scarce and good stuff Is fully steady with tho prlreH a ween ago. tho common stun, nowover, is not In verv nood demand and nrlces aro hardly steady. Oood cowa nro about a dlmo higher ror tho wcuK ana common canuora are fully that much lower. Feeders ad vanced tho first of tho week, but closed wun prices not much airreront than tney wero at tho close of last week. Rearu- itentaUvu sales: BULLS. No. A v. Pr. No. Av.

The bulk of tho sales went from $4.55 to $4. CO. with the long Mrltic at $4.67', It was not long ouioro most or tno nogi that had arrived wero sold. As hlch us $4.6214 was paid for a load weighing around 290 and a tnedtuinwelght and u light load also sold at tne same ugure. rucKers no not consider weight as much as they do quality, so that a good heavy and a good I rht land will brim; about tho same nrlce.l Tho market closed without material chango, everything being sold at a re a, lonalilv earlv hour. tho nog marKet mis wc?k went uown at a rapid rate, uuyers toolc on about a dlmo nt a time until Friday, when sollers bucccedod In holding tho market close to steady, only about lo being lost. The nvnrare tirlee on Friday was a fraction over $4.51, or the lowest point reached since last January, l or tno ween it was u (in cline or over iwc, ana a.i comparcu wi-.u the high point of the month, which was $3.13, on October 4, thero was a decllno of Cbo. The demand has been good all the week, but as sellers were siuw iu mi.o the concessions In price the market was, as a rule, rather siow ui gumim ii".'4 Representative saies No. Av.
