CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Busincis Ho-i Bettlod Down to Nona' Conditions for August. COLLECTIONS A1E EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD Markets llu,i a Tendency Towiird firmness, ttllh MnrUrd Ailviiiiejr on Some Lines UiMM-riil Mluu tluti i: ii tire I)- SiitNfnotorj. General conditions governing trade have shown little or no change during the laut week or ten duye. There has. howeor, been a derided Improvement In sentiment noticeable among all clause.-) of menTTanu. The panicky fctdlng a week or two ugo. when 'the air was filled with reports of crop damage, has been very much molli fied. Merchants arc coming to a reullra lion of the truo situation nnd feel that tliey have been mote scared than hurt. Iteyotid question the reports of damage to the com crop have been exaggerated and It Is uHo gether too soon to accent without reserve the current estimates of loss. That great Injury has occurred must be udmllted, but with favorable weather from now on to the end of the season there will bo a fair crop of corn, which, added to the enormous crop of smalt grain, will place the farmers In fairly comfortable circumstances. In addi tion to this the farmers of Nebraska are unusually well provided with hay and fodder of all kinds suillclent to carry through the winter all the live itock on Hand, so that there will be no Hnorlllclng of cattle us was the case In 1MH. With these things In his favor and with tho exceptionally high prices nrovnlllmr for whatever he may have to sell tho Nebraska farmer Is by no means in bad shape. As tho truo situation has dawned upon business, men the Inclination to curtail or ders for fall goods or to cancel orders al ready placed has departed and business Is now moving along as smoothly ns ever. Country buyers are visiting tho city as freely as ever at this season of the year and according to present Information more of them will nttend tho Ak-Har-llcn festivi ties this fnll than ever before. Thine merchants who have visited the city within the lust few days have, ns a rule, bought with their usual freedom, the general feel ing being that the time for looking nround has past nnd that they must get down to business If they are to have stocks on hand to meet tho fall tradu. , ..... Ono of tho best Indications of healthy conditions prevailing In trade circles In the country la lo be found In tho fact that col lections are exceedingly good. The retail merchants of tho state aro meeting their obligations promptly and many bills are still being discounted Tho fact that farm ers have been selling their hogs very ftee y and that they havu been bringing unusunlly high prices may account In part for money being bo easy In the country. Tho general tendency of tho wholesnlo markets appears to bo toward llrmness, which would Indicate that tho manufac turers nro llndlng a good outlet for their products nnd that tho consuming demand Is keeping well up with tho production. firocerlcN Advancing. Only fnvnrnblo reports arc to bo had at the grocery Jobbing houses of Omaha, rile Jobbers without exception agree that for this season of tho year tho volume of trado Is exceptionally good. This may bo duo In part to the fact that short crop of fruit and vegetables have stimulated greatly tho demand for all kinds of canned goods as well us dried fruits. As to tho murkct soiiih changed of importance nro to bo noted. Karlnaclous goods aro ateadlly firming up nil along the line. Means arc J'W He per bushel higher thnn Inst week, 'lho canned goods market continues In n rather excited condition, with higher prices ruling on almost everything In tho list. Packers claim that buyern aru more numerous than sellers, duo to the shortage In tho local fruit and vegetublo crops In various locali ties. All kinds of canned goods uro going Into consumption very rnpldly. Tomatoes ure quoted as strong at Jl.ioyl.13 for stand nrds nnd corn nt OOcirjll.OO. Quotations on tho balance of tho lino nro In the same pro portion. . ,. , The dried fruit market on tho const ii very firm owing to large buying orders nnd to tho rathfr high Ideas of packers. Apricots have udvnnccd Ho ovor last week. Prunes and rutslns aro also minted higher nnd shippers nro asking a nremlum for the prompt shipment of peaches. Tho rice market Is very firm, nearly all mills having sold out, nnd what llttlo stock remains Is hold nt ndvanccd figures. The new crop of rice Is In a promising condition, though tho government figures would lndlcato that It is liable to fall n little behind 1900. It will be on the market In thirty to forty dnys. Owing to high prices on beans, potatoes, etc., opening prices will probably rule higher than would otherwlso be tho ense. Tho sugar mnrket Is practically tho same as It wns last week, no change being reported. Keep Tub on the Strike. With hardwnro men the strike in tho east cm steel mills Is an ull-Imnortnnt subject nnd they nro naturally keeping very closo track of tho courso of events. Tho long continuance of labor troubles nt tho steel milts as well us the danger of other branches of manufacture becoming In volved would naturally havo an Important bearing upon the mnrkot. It Is therefore by no menus certnln that there will not be n shortage of goods before the matter Is settled. In consequence) of tho unsettled condition of nffnlrs vulucs are very firm on practically nil lines. Local Jobbers gen orally report a very fair volume of busi ness doing for the middle of August. More over, they urc anticipating u good full tradu. Dry nnoilH People. During last week uulto n lurcn number of totall merchants from Nobrnska nnd far ther west were In tho city nnd Jobbers re port having sold a number of very good Dills. Tho Jobbing trado In this lino might bo described as Just about normal for this icasou of tho year. Opo thing Is evident and thnt is that locnl houses are more than pleased with the amount of business doing and the prosjiedt for tho later fall and winter trade. Hoots n ml HlKim. All kinds of leather goods nro selling nbout on usual at this season, nulte a good many late buyers having placed their orders within the last fjw days. Jobbers report that letters from their country customer us well as Information received from travel. Ing men all uolnt to a fair business this full. Fruit mill Produce. Last week was not very proltflo In changes In tho fruit nnd produce lino. Mut ter, eggs anil poultry sold In practically the same notches aM tho week.

Aug, l".-Expectntlon of n higher money market caused a weak tone to the stock market today, which wn ic centuated after the publication of tho hank statement. Predictions as to turunr a pnnslons In loans were not borne out, the statement on the contrnry showing n de crease In this Item of 11,615,300. This unex pected good showing, however, was rnoro thnn offset by n loss In cash of J2,71S,iW, which was tiulte unexpected, ns the esti mates yesterday figured on n gain of nearly J750,Oi). Some uneasiness was ulso felt nt tho efforts making to close various steel mills. Persistent selling of tho United Stntes Steel sticks, which mnde extreme declines of nnd 1U, respectively for tho common nnd preferred, stimulated benr selling at other quarters, i-rices yielded steadily from the outset and especially for the grangers, Pacifies, tractions and Amal gamated Copper, which were lowered from 1 to 2 points. The Southern nnd nnthrnclto and bituminous coal roads stock also re lapsed sharply. In tho final dealings trad ing wus a sliade more active, but tho trad ing was weak. The feature of the day was the weakness In the strrllng exchange mar ket, offerings of all classes of bills being very large, with scarcely nny Inquiry. De mand bills were marked down to 46';, but long sterling wns well held. Railroad bonds showed less Improvement during the week thun stocks, but there was more general purchases of high-grade Is JUes. United States bonds wcro unchanged on tho call price of last week. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: The stock ninr 1pt today was utterly stagnant, and the Hoot of the Stock exchange was half de serted. There wus nn early attempt to harden American stocks, hut force was tacking. As a result the early llrmness wns not mulntalned and the 'iose was heavy. Call moi'oy rates stiffened somewhat.

Boston: Oil struck top of derrick at 12:15. Turned off at omo. Will send pioio(raj)i of horizontal (usier soon, and of perpen dicular when weather permit?. Expert opinion sais no hiqger or letter well on Spindle Top at least 75,000 barrels a day. Will place on pipe line soon as possible. Ohas. A. Towne. Thlc compuny, having struck oil In Ita first Sptndlo Top well, is now proceeding to tho construction of an Immense storage res ervolr for the oil. Tho usuul slzo of on tanks in the Texns Ileitis Is 37,500 barrels; this, howoer. docs not glvo such capacity as the Kxport Company requires, and It Is proposed to make this reservoir not less than W,0o0 barrels. In marketing the product, It Is essential to have on hand a large reserve of oil, nnd tills company hav ing already an assured market must pro vide for such reserve at once. This tank, Instead of being erected abovo the ground, Is to be sunk In the ground thereby avoid ing any danger In case of accident. lho Kxport Co. has been much commended for this Idea, which will doubtless bo followed by the other producing companies. It will also proceed at nn early day to drill additional wells on Spindle Top. and probably on Its Dyke and Johnson lands. The company having been successful In so curing TO ITS STOCK HOLUKHS ALL tho prollts from Its well on Hplndlo Top, where outsldo parties offered to guarantee n gusher for a share In the profits, will do Us own drilling on these other two tracts where similar guarantees were offered. The company has also closed the arrange ment berotoforo referred to as pending, hy which a cash murket for 7,000 barrels dally of Its product Is assured. The company has also secured the right of wav for Ita pipe lines to Port Arthur and Sablno I'ass, and the cnnitrurt'oii of these lines will begin nt the earliest posbi date, thus enabling It lo load vessels dlro;'t for tho export trade.
