It was evident from the way iriey acted that they were full of hope and con fidence for tho future and had fully recov ered from the scare they received owing to dry wcathT.

As regurds ' market conditions there Ib nothing to be said an prices In most lines remain about thu same The hardware market Is. of course, unsettled owing to the strike of the Amalgamated association and groceries are also more or less unsettled bocuuso of the drouth and consequent Bcureltv of many 1 new of goods, Tito gen' ernl situation, however, Is well described by culling It . good, healthy, strong mar ket, with indications favorable for its re maining Unit way for some tlmo tu come. Collections nre In good shape and it lu ovldent from tho way that merchants nre discounting their bills thnt they hnvo plenty of ready money to curry them through the coming season. Jobbers eou miiuently arc not at nil uneasy about their claims and think their losses trom business embarrassments will be light. (irocerliM Active mill Similiter. Wholesale grocers report trade for last wcck as being 01 very saiisiaciory propor tions. Tiio demand was activo lor prnc- tlcnlly nil lines of stuples and tho outlook for tho future Is very encournglng. Tho market Is In u healthy condition find qulto n number of Hues uro llrmlng up. Hugar has not cliown much cluing" slucii last re port mi far ns quotations are concerned, but still there U u stronger tendency than for somo tlmo past. That Is no doubt oc casioned by tho unusual demand for this censon of the year and rentiers are now claiming to be sold up and nre only taking orders subject to delays in shipment. Tho coffcu market is Just about steady, no particular change having iiikcii piace, The samo Is true of tea. In farinaceous goods about tho only change of Importance Is in oatmeal, which 1 ri a shade lower, but the general Impres sion is that there will be no sunrp decline. The new crou of rice Is now coming on tho market In n small wuy, but prices aro huh rather hlgli. In canned goods tomatoes and corn aro Htlll attracting considerable attention and tho uiiward trend of prices still exists. Tho market Is very ntrong ut present, quo tations being n shade higher than those In uxlsteuce a week ago. Thu demand Is sur prisingly heavy in view ot tho high prices ruling, Hyrups aro also a little stronger than they wero a week ago and consumption Is very heavy. Thero has been no chango in encese Binca last report. lliinlmiru Mnrket AH iinelnn. The attention of hardware men Is still riveted on the strike situation. Kvcry day that tho mills are Idlo ot courso lncieuses thu Impending shortnge In all goods mailt! fuctured from tlnulatc nnd bur Iron. As has been previously mentioned manufnetur crs had more than they could do to till their orders before tho strlKe occurred und now that thoy have, been idle for some time, while consumption has been steadily In creasing, there Is every reason to look for a ncarclty of goods and high prlcea. Jobbers ro rntner cautious about predicting me iu tnrc ot the market, but still it Is evident thnt they aro counting on ndvnnceu taking piace on many sinpm lines and nro advis- lilt? Hiplr frlptulu In hiv In irnnd MtnpkH. ntt thoy may bo unablo to get supplies later un even at higher prices. Thero Is every reason to anuciputo a strong uemanu in i tall nnd winter from nil sections of tho country and that being tho case It Is only reasonable to suppose that tho supply will run xnnrl. An In now mlipii nrlepH will l advanco no one, ot course, can tell, but trom the way thu market has been harden ing up in such lines us stovepipe, coal hods, galvunlzed Iron sheets und many other lines would indicate that hardware at present prices Is good property. The general opinion seems to be that there Is no possibility of a decline for somo time to come, so that oven If thero wero no radical advances purchasers will bu safe, Jobbers aro now shipping oat their ad vance orders of fall goods and quite a few merchants aro buying in anticipation ot tutuici requirements, so that local houses aro doing a nice business, lu u short time now tuey expect tneir ran trauo to nc in full swing und anticipate, a lively tlin. Theru was rather a sensational drop Inst wr-ok In the price of plate glass, tho 'de cline amounting to from 15 to 20 per cgut. It is stated that this decline Is for tho tiurnote of shutting out foreign comuutl tlou, which was beginning to cut quite a llguro In eastern markets. Local jobbers inn rather uncertain as to what the futuio maiket will be, but still they do not 100k for any further decline, und an advanco in the near future would causo no surprise, Tne demand for window glass is very hcivy lor this tlmo of the year and aa ho supply In the hands of manufacturers is by no means heavy predictions or an ,ict vance In tho near luturo nr being irmly fiade. It Is said that In case pi-Iron do go higher they will In ull probability remain up for somo time. Linseed oil took a drop last week owing to the i.rrlvnl of new seed on tho mnrket.

Tho city was full of merchants ull lust week and very liberal orders wero placed. According to thu re pt,rir 01 iravciing nirii many inuin imi- chants nro counting on coming to tho city this lall than over before and thu general ni'iiresslon is that during tho Ak-Sur-Iien carnival the wholesale houses of Omaha will do the b gnest business on record. Bales so far this year have gone far ahead of any previous yenr, which is saying a co n deal. The cotton goods mnrket Is still hslnt votched with a great deal of Interest, and nil lines of cotton goods aro now In a gcod strong position. Tho demand, both nt home and abroad, is exceptionally lire, i.nl those who 1110 In u position to know say that cotton goods at present prices nro good property. 1'rlceB havo been hardening v,p for some little tlme-pnst nnd stl I higher quotations would enure no suprlse.

Th n.'il( nretrtlnir rlnllverv dllV M a'- trivi thn rnimA of morn or lean stagnation In the various grain markets, and the weelt Just closed Is no exception to thnt rule. Tne rungo lion neen narrow in consequence, mw th character of tho trade conllned aim st exclusively to changing over to future months. Thnt thore Is to be no shortage a re gards supplies of wheat In this country hns been w.;ll demonstrated ihls week by the movement of the spring wheat crop, whb n has suggested to tho trnde generally that people up there anticipate ample supplies nna deem preseni jirn.cn icirMiHuvc, The depressing effect of sales ngnlnst this movement on the Chicago market hns lor tho time being at least, inspired u mor- iipnrlnh frnllnif among the local crowd, and apparently dampened the ardor of the oll.- slde speculator, wno as a ruio is always ready to take wheat on such breaks as wo have had. It Is apparent tnat Chicago tins ngaln tiecomc an aitrnctivc iicngmg mnrKct tor primary points, and the volume of comm s- sion Mouse unswess on ine opposite siua is Tho situution presented to us at tins writing is not such as to warrant much cuthuslarm roc tne uuu. conservative e.v tlmates (ut our crop nt 7C0.O.O.OO) buihrls, Tne amount ot wneit Heading lor con sumptlvo points abroad Is to much In ex pphs of 11 vc.ir nun an In bn nulte a de pressing factor; tho llrltlsh Northwest will have ocr W.OJ0.000 bushels for export: sup plies on nana rrom a year aco are sum- cient to nring tnu total or nvuuauie wnoai pron for this conllnent un to und over SCO.- 000,000 bushels, and as this crop shown every tendency to move eariy nnci ireciy, us weight promises, on tho surface, to force price values to u lower level. It therefore remains for our foreign cus tomers to demonstrate their requirements und anxiety for our wheat on u very ex tensive scale to confirm thu heavy losses reported In Kjropeau countries and to il..innrtntnit ii need far In excesa of ore vlous condition to onset me supplies ut thin mil. If such develops we would ad vocate conservative buying on such break ns rrop movement may create and on any rapid decline nemw uicsu ngurcs, scalping purchases shoCTT'te prolltable for quick turns. The coin situation is not filtered ma torially from u week ago excepting that liquidation huu apparently Bpent its force The market nppcurs to bu resting after recent unheavnls and Inclined to await developments which would determine what action speculators snojiu taKU irom tins time forward. That theru hns been a marked lmnrove mcnt In tho condition of the growing croti seems to be beyond dispute, nt mis writing, so tnr ns tne into pinntca corn is con cerned and as It seems to be a fact that thu scnso.i was atu in beginning, tno pro portion of latu sown corn is consequently much above the average. That being the ense, It will be necessary for tho trade to adjust meir view accordingly and deter mluu to what extent there has been 1m nrovemcnt. how much additional corn that will entail and tne consequent cneci oi these factors upon values. we nil rrom tne most conservative sources that few are Inclined to put their figures above. 1,400,000,000 bu. and In view; of the break which has occurred In corn prices thu difference be' ween that estimate and government figures might bo considered proportionate, but the. decline hns failed to Increase cash demand, either nt home or nbrond, to uny noticeable extent, tho only good effect which has ro suited from this changed condition being n relief from congestion from n too one-sided and nn ovcr-bougnt market. Theru are very good peoplo buying corn on these breaks people who exert a decided l,ituencc In speculative circles. Hud it not been tor tnat support wo venture to say that declines might havo been moro serious, a goon oeui oepenos irom now on unon tno cnaractcr at aenvcries. me im provement, if continued, In crop conditions, casn demand ami size ot movement rrom first hands, and until these factors become more clear wo reel disinclined to uovoeate short selling of corn unless on good bulges it is, however, unquestionably neccssury that tho cash situation become much healthier, It corn values are going to repre sent actual conditions. Tho nnt market has been nractlcallv fea turulcrs. It has shown but little Individual lty reflecting very closely changes In tho other grain markets. Wuro It not for the discounts ueiow corn wo would say mat oat prices bordered on Inflation, but as long us present discounts nre maintained oat i111? .!"1""1 v. " .mir yuan ur mand is not particularly active and thresh roturns aru showing much better re fults than estimates prior to harvest prom eu, Tho most prominent feature In tho nrovl slon market this week has been the rnn tinned advancing tendency of hog prices wmcn nave rtncncd me Highest point to far. Thu uffect has been somewhnt nrii trallzed by the natural liquidation Incident to this montii, which hns kept speculative Interest dormant and conditions have not been able to exerciso their natural effect. September liquidation Is now nut ef tno way, tnu run or nogs promises to decrease, tho cash situation Is qulto healthy, rtr.U although the stocks of ribs arc somewha ahead ot a year ago. there is 8.UX) barrel less porn nun io.wkj tierces less ot lard, and with decreasing receipts of hogs, we would no; uc surprised to sue tnese stocKs dl.-iap pear, inc cnuy inarKcting, irom totce n circumstances, of hog in an Immntur state, promises a much smaller yield of lard and consequently wo feel more friendly to mis inner product on mesu nrengs than anything on the list, wo bcllove the specu tfltiit. ...Ill -..,1.1..

These Items made a total of $2,763,700. The sub-treasury received from tho batiks Jl.siO.ooo for transfer to tne in terlor. leaving $013,700 net guln to the banks on extraordinary operations. He celpts by the sub-treasury for customs, in ternal revenue und other items wero $18.- 929,000, while tho disbursements to tho banks for ordinary purposes were $11,305,30), leaving an oxccb.i of receipts over pay ments by tho sub-treasury of $4,823,710. Tho banks shipped to tho Interior, chiefly to Chlcugo, $5.33S,800, exclusive of transfers, which are included In the above statement. nnd tho banks received from the interior t,395,300, leaving as tho net loss to the Ulllllta, Ull fclll Mtiutv liiinviHviu, ,,wJ.uw Adding the net loss to the banks of 13.710.- too on sub-treasury operations, both ordi nary and extraordinary, makes the tntal loss of cash by the banks for the week of J5.3i4.ooo. The DnnK returns snowed loss of $6,233,100 In cash. Tho louns were expanded by $7,340,200. Thero was a de crease of only $27,700 In deposits, whereas this should have been shown an Increase of $1,114,100. Tho circulation gained $1.0J0. son. and the losi In surplua reserve was 16.228.175. leaving this item nt ii.oib.ws, There was good evidence early last week that somo of the J4.ooj.nuo cash which had been sent to Philadelphia late in the pre vious wcck nnd been returned to mis city, now much or mis money came PacK. how ever, It Is difficult to cstlmuto, but to the extent tnat it wus returned, tno conui' Hon of banks ns regards cash was Im proved. It will bo observed that tho drain of money into the trensury from the banks ror custpmn and internal revenue wus quite large last week, and thlB movement may rontinuo important in mo near tuiure. in such 11 case a concurrent movement to tho Interior for crop purposes would very soon seriously reduce tne surplus reserves, it Is truo that the , assistant treasurer ha? been given authority to buy bonds to lib ernl amounts, should they be offered, but judging from the. comparatively small ten ders of bondt which were made last week reiicr to tne market tnrnugh bond pur chases, should relief be needed, will be quite unaffcctlve.

The eupply for the week hus not been at nil heavy, il decrease noted ns compared with the last two weeks and a marked falling oft ns compared with tho corresponding woek of lust year, une uemanu iuib uecn In enod shanc all thu Week and UH a re- ult nrlres nn anything nt all desirable In tno way oi Killers nuvu uuvumui iuuo sharply. a rair nronoriion ot ino rcceinis una week wore, mndo uu of cornfed atecrs. for which tho demand was exceptionally gooo. There were, In fact, not enough cattle to fill packers' orders and as a result thoy nnld higher prices in oruer to got mem, For the week tho advance umounts- to fully 25c. The commoner kinds of courso havo not Improved as much In all cases, though the shortage In the better grades has caused even the common kinds to Bell readily at stronger prices. Caws nnu neuers nave niso uuvnnceu fully 25c und lu somo cases the good to choice kinds have sold ut u greater nremlum than that, dinners hnve not advanced quite that much, but still thoy nave aiBO sicauuy iniprovcu uunng ino week nnd Belters havo had llttlo dltllculty in disposing of their holdings ut very satisfactory nrlccs. Good bulls have commanded strong nrlccs. but tho canning bullu were Blow salo nil thu week and no mora man stonily with tho closo of last week and stagu of de- nlrnhle crndps nre a little hlirhcr. The stocker and feeder murKet uos not been In very good shape this week. The first of tho week speculators took hold In good shano In anticlnatlon of a good de mand from the country, but the buyers failed to urrlvo In sufficient numbers to take what wns offered and n3 n result prices hnve ensed off ' 'I ho best henvy weight feed ers nre not so much lower, but anything on the commonlsh order or stockcrs have taken a dron of fully '!ac. The latter nnrt of the week it was very difficult to sell light Btpck- erB at nny price, ns ynru trnuers were carrying a good many cattle from day to day owing to the light demand from the country. What has been Fald of native cattle will annly equally wen to western rangers, Beef steers and cows havo advanced fully 23c for the week, while stockcrs aro 25c lower. Uood range bu lis are strong and common ones nbout steady. Stags are per haps selling a little better where the quality Is satisfactory und tho same is true ot veal caives. HOGS There was -not a heavy run of hogs hero today and tho market opened fairly uctivo and steady to Btronc, as com pared with yesterday. The bulk of the early sales went from $6.10 to $6.15, with a tew prime lonas veiling irom u.iu to o.kj. The light stuff sold from 16.10 down.

The demand for good to choice ewes and wethers wa i ncttvo all the week and prices nre a little stronger thnn tney were nt the close of Inst week. The common stuff, how ever, packers are not nt ull anxious for and tho tendency Is to discriminate against such grades. The market for lambs of good quality Is also steady for the week, but sellers have found it diltlcult to dispose of the common kinds nt steady prices, ns the demand for such kinds is very limited. Feeders havo been lu fairly good demand )ill the week und on tho better grades ot both sheep und lambs prices arc a little stronger. Quotations!
