Public. Intercut alio continued ex tremely small and tho markets wcru pretty much left to themselves. AlthoiiHh somu sold Is yet expected to so to New l'ork, foreign demands have thuj tar been comparatively unimportant, the arrivals from tho Capo and other points being fully able to makn up any drain. Consols were rrncllomilly lower. South (Atriums all suffered on tho reverses re ported by lyjrd Kitchener. Americans surfcred from lack of Interest. EThn Hteel trust dividend continues to create unbounded satisfaction, but without any resulting appreciation in (imitations, Amer ican railroads were rather expected to pick Up simultaneously with tho announcement tor the steel dividend and with tin collap-e pt tho copper scare, but these expeetatlins railed of realization, owing somewhat to rumors that Htitndard OH Interest was bear ing the market and that disagreements still Existed among the leading lluanclers In lAmerlca. Nevertheless, tho tlnanclal writers see fio adverse signs cither In money, stocks or business prospects In Great Hrltnln or In America, except perhaps so far as the Jvnr In SiaHh Africa Is concerned, and th s lias become such a normal nightmare to the Htock exchange that even pirpelual re verses would not be likely to niTect gravely llio tlnanclal outlook. CONSERVATISM THE SAFE WAY jfo Declare Henry ('leu HeKitrdliiu Investments In Wnll .Street .Securities. NEW TOniC, Oct. 6.-8pcclnl.)-In his Weekly rovicw of Wall Htrcet conditions jflcnry Clows, head of the banking house wf Henry Clows & Co,, says: Values on tho Htock exchango continue, to .exhibit a declining tendency. Sentiment tlias gradually lost Its bullish character and 'tho extravagant expectations of three 'months ago aro giving way to more ra tional opinions and actions. The ptercnt ;courso of the market Is no doubt very dis tasteful to those whoso oversangtllno dis positions have led them to unwise commit- Snonts on tho long side. A good muny rea lms can bo presented for this prolonged re action, such as tho condition of tho money 'market, tho Injury to tho corn crop, labor Agitations and tho shocks to contldence arising from the Northern l'nclllc deal, President McKlnley's death, as well as Sither unexpected events. All of these have md their shnrn In checking tho boom ot 3901 and everyone knows that the reaction 'would hove, been much more rapid and evero but for tho resistance of big Inter ests which have used their tremendous cctnblncd powers to check anything ap proaching panic. ' Natural lorces, however, will In the end exert tholr sway and bade of the Influences cn prices Junt referred to It Is plain that fiubllc opinion regarding tho market has loen very decidedly moulded by tho fact that prices were unreasonably high from the Investment standpoint: nlso by a sus- K'clon that tho top wave of prosperity had eon touched and that hereafter trade and Industry must bo expected to settle down to more normal conditions. Conservative men wero Justly npprehen elve that, unless tho pace was slackened, no should run Into speculative and bus- tneeu excesses that would produeo dls .strous reactions. Deprived of the support of tho Investment anil conservattvo classes the market lost Its best foundation uud (easily suco'imbed tn temporary Inlluences find shocks. This turn In the condition of ITalrs huppened to come ut a time when the largo railroad Interests worn carrying on tho process of consolidation, which hud "boon practically completed In the Industrial .world. These plans have, In tho language of tho vptreet, been held up: not so much Unit condition!! really nrevent their Una I con summation ris that policy dictates their icstpunemtmi until more ravoraiuo oppor unities aro offered tho speculation Inci dental to such movements. When tho took market Is found to hovo touched bot tom and tho outlook Improves wo may look for a resumption of theso negotiations, and not before. In many respects It Is fortunate that the irurket him been In control of strong hands, Losses have been gradual and mole Widely scattered than had tho decline been unrestrained and the market left to tho tender morcles of the bears. The extent of tho decllno Is perhaps greater than realized from 15 to ao points on many of tho active stocks. Compared with the highest prices made last spring tho declines which have taken plnco aro as follows: Atchison 15ErIo 1st pfd 4 Rnltlmoro & OI1I0..HM., it. A: T. pfd... .10 II. It.

It remains to bo Been whether tho rollroad section of tho market has lully discounted the Injury to corn and any posslblo trade reaction or not. It Is well to remember that Wall street Is In tho habit of anticipating such inovomentH, so that when the results appear tho tlTocts aro practically nil. Ono of tho most Important considerations lust now Is tho courso bf tho Industries. 111 August and September wo witnessed a vcrlcs of annual reports, all of nn un favorable nature, Reduced earning", have followed lower prices for products and It la wiry evident that the era of abnormal Industrlul prollts Is on the wane. N w compotltlon Is also slowly but surely mur ing tho burden of overcapitalization f It. Tho developments In Amnlgnmnted Copper ucted decisively ngulnst tho entire maritet. Fortunately, tho I'nltcd States fllcel c r porntlon took thf. public Into Its confidence nnd mado nn excellent showing" as to enrn 'Ings, which removed an Important element of doubt. The management deserves com mendation for Its courage ns well as pagaclty. A policy of secretlveness such ns is followed by most of the Industrials In evitably provokes distrust, and Investors and speculators will do woll to leave those alone that fall to glvo reliable luformat on as to earnings nnd general iluanclal condi tions. It Is almost unnecessary to say that the Industrials an especially exposod to trade fluctuations and thnt their course will b.t largely Influenced by general business, Tho latter Is still 111 good condition and tho out look Is for a good fall and winter trade; nevertheless, the Industrials nre a weak 'feature and will still bonr watching. There that avoid publicity regarding their affal s will probably bo shorply discriminated against. At this time of unsettled values It U well to draw tho Hue between railroad sharoj and those of tho Industrials In estimating Intrinsic worth, as It must ho remembpred thnt tho former aro mostly connected with corporations that wero pessimistically, honco drastically, reorganized, while tho Utter wero mostly optimistically organized and many of them mny have to bo pessi mistically reorganized. Then tho lallroada una Industrials will bo on a common foot ing. The monetary outlook Is somewhat clearer, as pioved by Secretary Oago's dis continuing tho purchase of bonds, Very soon tho outward drain for crop purpose will cease and tho Influx of currency will begin. Oold Imports nre being delayed, partly owing to Europe's necessity for re taining tho precious metnl, but at the mo ment tho money market Is free of anxieties, Tho Immediate future of tho stock mar ket Is Indefinite. No bull movement Is yot In sight and bearish sentiment seems to predominate in splto of tho fact that the ulg Interests soem opposed to nil pro tiounced declines. The situation therefore offers oxcellent trndlng opportunities, good stocks being a purchase on all sharp il . cltnes and equally good sales on nil pro nounced rallies. Conservatism Is still the only safe course. POOR TIME FOR INVESTMENTS X4ttlft Itetter Prices on Oerninii Doursc, but Lender Are Still rcPMliuUtlo, BERLIN, Oct. 6,-Tho first half of last week brought a moderate recovery In values for which no sufficient cause was offered In the reports from tho Industrial centers. The cause was partly explained by the fact that many holders had sold out before the monthly settlement, fearing dearer money and lower quotations, nnd had then rcnur- cnascn, causing an artinclal demand whlcn frightened the shorts Into rot-nrlne. During tho latter half of the week the bourso relapsed Into Its former pessimistic mood. Yesterday's falls In Industrials wera quite heavy. In addition to the rumor re- gaming win financial rillllcuitles of tne uort mund I'nlon Iron comnanv. which It Is reported, Ilerr Krupp Is about to buy, adds 10 rumors mat tne company is aoout 10 reduce Its capital, th bourse was depressed over tho disappointing dividends of various industrial companies just published. The WeMtihnllan steel works at Hochtlin and tho Schoenhcrr loom factory at Chemnitz passed their dividends. The former paid ji una me lauer 10 cents last year. The decline In Iron nrlces nlso iirnip,1 values, Some principal kinds of Iron have fallen 5 marks per ton on tho Dusseldorff bourso slnco September B nnd the cheaper qualities liavo fallen 1 mark per ton. The Cologne Volks Xeltung asserts that the coke syndicate has already decided to reduce prices In 1002 to 15 and perhaps to " " nun inso mat me great iron men saV thev Inllaf miliim f,. 11 ... in ... .1.. nH otherwise tho syndicate will have to redttco iiie ompiu 10 one-nair. The foregoing con ditions were partly counteracted by the Harpcner coal dividend, which proved to be " i"-' "t, us against 11 iur tne correspond ing DrcVlotIM dividend rlnlirmtlv alinn kiln. the llgures of the week' wero somewhat higher. Nevertheless, the bourso and the iinmiciai press regard tne situation de spondentlv. U hoever seizes the present moment to Invest, says the Fr.mkfo-t Zeltung, "must reckon on the probability that such pur chases In existing conditions may bring more or less lois." The Vpsslgche Zeltutig nlso utters a word of warning against drawlns favorable con- jiimiuiin irom ine revived tendency to in Vest. American railroads were In better do- lint 11(1. as wero aiso t amidians. Hank stocks gained n point or two during the week and ocean transportation shares also Improved. The public Is now buying theie securities. I he osslt;chc Keltting asserts that a price ogrecmrnt was signed yesterday by the principal zinc producers In Europe. CLOTH MARKET IS NERVOUS Sltnrp Advance In Cotton Causes Dealers to Withhold New t.'ndertnkliian. MANCHESTER, Oct C.-The slmrp ad vance In cotton resulting from the report of the American butcati lust week devel oped nervousness In tho market, which was not prepared for 11 heavy reduction In the estimates lllld ton rimapullnnt ml. vanco, although it brought out pending i-ti-nii uiiurri.iKing ni ine prices required arc not expected until tho outlook has been reconsidered, Somo qunrteru aro reluctant to accopt the pessimistic report unquestionably, al though it Ih admitted that should the roport prove correct the present courso of tho mnrket would be largely Justified. There was much quick buying executed for China nnd to a less extent for Calcutta iiurlng the last fortnight and consequently many merchants are In 11 position to watcfi the market. As cotton advances tho post tlcn of the spinner Is more unsatisfactory. Had the market continued steady thsro were Indications of further business, eapo daily with China, but the present excite ment Interferes with operations. Tho feature of the cloth market through out Is Improving for Calcutta and several lines were negotiated where tho sellers did not take an oxtrcmo stand. Cotton conditions Influenced buyers some what to do more business where they mot easy sellers. H111111 1 nli Four nt Madrid. MA Dill D. Oct. 6.

The holiday In Lon don today accentuated the dullness here and tended to relax the selling pressure, ns London hns been a constant seller In this market of latt. Tho fact that there Is no loan market nt the Stock exchange on Sat urday nlso tended to relax tho pressure upon the market. Perception Is growing or the fact that the question of tho effect of the Interior demand for money on the stock market lias passed the stage of argu ment nnd line resolved Itself Into 11 question of how much further stock market liquida tion may have to extend. hlie there has been no stringency of money during the week, this hns been due to tho fact that in reducing the outstanding loans bankers have been discriminating against Industrial collateral, rather than marking up the ruling rates for call Joans. Owing to the continued firmness of sterling exchange, In spite of a larger supply of cotton bills this week, relief by gold Im ports docs not appear Imminent. Demand continues from bankers short of oxchnngo and experts In that market declare that n large short Interest remains to be covered during November. It Is said that somo fresh sterling louns huve been negotiated this week. The loan Increases In the bank statement revealed that other forces are still at work In thi, credit mnrket which offset the stock market liquidation.

For the week tho sjpply has been fairly liberal, though not iiulto eiiunl to that of last week. With the exception of last week, however, the supply this week was the heaviest In somo time past and also only a trifle short of the corresponding week of lust year. Tho quullty of tho of ferings this week has not been qulto ns good as It was the week before, clthor ln the native or western divisions. As the supply of cuttle wns liberal at all points the tendency of prices wns downward. There wero not many ccrnfed cattle offered this week, but the break In prlceo at Chicago gave buyers an opportunity to take off all the wuy from 15c to 25c nt this point, The greutest decline was of course on the less desirable bunches nnd toward the last of the week In particular the common stuff was slow sale. The supply of cows was very liberal all tho week. and. while prlcea held un In pretty good shape the tlrst few days, the market is now 15925c lower than at the close of last week. With tho exception of tho vt ry best grades tho market Is gener ally a ii'jiirter lower. Hulls, calves and stags have also eased off a little In sympathy with the decllno on cows and steers. Cholco handy weight dehorned feeder bulls, however, are higher than they were n week ago, as there has been quite a demand for them the Inst tew days. Tho supply of stockers and feeders wns also liberal this week and particularly was thift true of tho commoner grades, for which the demand was tho smallest. There were none 100 many ot tne cholco heavy weight feeders and choice yearlings to meet tho demand and prices on that class of cattlo are steady lor the week. Tho medium weight feeders nnd the common cattle of all weights were very hard to move at any price nnd sellers hnd to taka whatever buyers were willing to give. Prices may safely bo quoted anywliere from 10c to 15c lower for tho week. A notable featuro to the trade ln western cattle this week was the lack of choice fat steers. The week before the quality of the offerings was much better and that fact probably had something to do thin week with the downward courso of prices. The decline Is fully ns great as on the corn cattle, and may safely be put at 161J2ic. Cows have also eased off that much. If not more, Cholco heavy feeders have held Just about steady, and so also have the good to choice yearlings, but tho common truck has been very slow sale and logiSo lower for tho week. HOGS Thero wns a fair Saturday's run of hogs here today, and as other markets wero quoted lower prices eased oft here a little. The market opened nbout 6c lower and closed weak. The long string of the nogs soin ai u.o;y4 and tno nuiK went nt from $6.60 to 16.55. On the Just end packets were not willing to pay over $6.50 and J6.5JH for tho genernl run. Although tho market was not very active at any time practically everything was sold ln fairly good season, There havo been more hogs on this mar ket tho past week than for some time pnst, but thero Is still a decrease as compored with the snme week last year. The ten dency of prices has been downward all tho week, but a good share of tho time tho market has been higher here than nt Chi cago. The decline for tho week amounts to nearly 30c. Prices nro now at the lowest point reached since tho middle of Septem ber. Representative sales: No. Av. Sh. Pr. No. Av. Sh.

(1 V SHEEPThero wera nnlv n rnr I,nr1 nf sheep on sale today of rather common quality, nnd ns a result no test of the mar ket was made. For tho week the supply has been exceptional y heavy, and In fnct the receipts this week havo broken nil previous records, in view of the enormous supply the way In wh ch the mnrket hus held up Is rather surprising. There has not been very much change In the prices ruling on good sheep and yearlings. As a general thing the market may be quoted about a dime lower, though In a good many enses sales have been made that were not that much lower. Trade has ruled fairly actlvo most of fhn time, nnd good stuff sold without much difficulty.

Th wholesale trndo of this city moved nlong at a very satisfactory rate last week. A good many buyers were In tho city for this time of your placing original orders and nlso sorting up orders. The demand Is general for all classes of goods handled In this city so thnt Jobbejrs In all lines are well pleased. They have now figured up their accounts for the month of September and In nearly nil cases they find that they have made good substantial gains over tho same period of last yenr and In muny In stances the Increase In the volume of bust ness Is letnnrkablc, Not only uro Jobbers In good spirits, but retailers aro also feel ing well pleased with the trndo they havo been having of late and ns a result they havo 11 good deal of contldence In future business and are willing to place quite lib eral orders Another feature which goes a long way toward making merchants buy freely Is tho healthy condition of the market on nearly nil lines. It may safely be said that thero never was n time when prices wero on a more solid basis or the outlook for tho future more hopeful. The demand, ut the prevent time xcciiih to be lully equal to production and as there Is every reason for thinking that the home consumption as well ns the foreign trade will continue fully as heavy as It mis linen for the last sev eral weeks thcrr does not seem to be much chance for n decline In values for somo time to come. Since Inst report there have been a few fluctuations In prices, both up and down, but still they are not of much Importance, and havo no effect upon tho general mnrket situation, dinned Good Still Ailvnnclnii. The demand for groceries In a wholesalo way Is of very satisfactory proportions. Trade ln the country Is apparently quite brisk, as merchants nro buying troely both for present nnd for future wants. Slnco last report the coffee- market has llrmcd up a trifle and quotations aro about c higher. Sugar, on the contrary, has declined about 15c per hundred pounds, ns would naturally bo expected owing to the fact that tho period of heavy consumption Is nuw at an C'iho canned goods market Is In a very strong position and active, particularly on tomatoes, which have been advanced 2o per doren slnco last report. ine, packing season Is now Just about over and it Is claimed that tho pack will not exceed 60 per cent of that of 19t). If that proves to bo the case Omaha Jobbers are or tho opinion that still higher prices will rulo niter tho turn of tho year. Farinaceous goods havo shown very little change during tho week. Tho new crop of domestic rice has now arrived on the mnr ket tind tho quality of the stock coming In Is reported ns being exceptionally good. Tho market Is very firm, probably owln to 11 largo pxtont to the high price of po tatovs, which naturally increases tho con sumption of rlco and goods of that char- UThu demand for cheeso Is still koeplng up ,. onn. ntirr rate both at home and abroad and ns a result the market has ad- V1!ISI!!. 't5i. hn named on tho new crop of rals'lns by the California Halsln Grow ers association, i i,lral! , sot been maae, us it m 1. la ulnled thnt tho supply of penches on the coast has been well cleaned up, and for that rcanon tho market Is grad ually hardening up on tho cheaper as well as on the higher priced grades. Other Btttple lines ot groceries nro in Just about the same position thoy were a week ago. Gnlvanlied Iron n Trifle Lower. ...... iniilixm renort a Kood. healthy trade on all seasonable lines. Tho cool weather Is stimulating the demand for nil lasses of cold weaumr uu ii". ii'" are having about all tno uusiness uiey enn comfortnbly attend to. There U no particular featuro to tho trade, 11 b It Is simply tho usual fnll demand. Thero Is one dinercnco iin 1 . "- v,n. ia in ilm ninnunt of business trans acted. Jobbers Bay that their September trndo was the largest on record for that mcnth and that tho wuy October Is starting ,,,,1 itiam is irood reason for thinking that another record may bo broken. Tho mnrKei is urm on pruciiunny uu lines, with tho exception of galvnnlzed Iron, which declined 10 per cent last week. Tills wcagness is prooauiy ihuukui uuuui by tlm fact that tho mills aro now at work nnd as a result manufacturers nro taking off from quotations what thoy put nu because of the shortage during tho strike, This deollno, however, It 1b claimed, does not mean that thero is to no any fienoral weakness. A few lines will pcr iaps ease off a little that were forced up too hlnh during tho strike but still tho general market Is thought to bo In a good, strong position, witn no prospect or any Important changes ln the near future. Rope advanced agntn last week and In inct It Is being marked up every few days. Tho announcement recently mado to tho effect that the rope trust lost over a million dollars last year hns attracted wide spread attention. Window glnss Is another lino which has been marked up. Tho advance thin time Is only on carload orders and amounts to 5 per cent. Prices In small lots remain tha same Thero has been no change In nlato glnss, though the demand Is good nnd tho mnrket firm. Turpentine took nn upward Jump Inst week, amounting to lc, whhh innkes tho selling price 40c. Whlto lend and mixed palnta nre quoted tho same ns they wero a weok ago. Turpentine Is onco more being offered on this market. For somo little tlmo tho mar ket has beon practically barn, hut fraai. stock was received last week and more Is on the road, so that Jobbers expect from thlc tlmo on to bo able to fill their orders promptly. Ruling quotations aro now Clc for raw nnd 66c for boiled. HurliiK Orders Ileitis; Iteeelved. Locnl dry goods Jobbing houses nre now out nfter spring business. Not all of their men havo their samples, but several have started out and so far as they have been heard from they are mooting with excep tionally good success.

Immed nto business Is also ln verv ia. factory condition nnd a good manv nil vora are coming on the market, more In fact iimn over neiore 111 mis iimn of year. Tho most Imuortnnt ohnnun In nri. .1.... Ing tho week Is tho advance on yarn. This Is snld to bo owing to tho excor tlonally heavy demand, which has -J manufacturers several weeks behind with their orders, nnd It Is claimed by somo that the majority of them tini .n..J.i. business on hand to Inst them until the first of tho year. Thnt being Uio cnse, It makes but little difference to them whether not v iiumnco biiuis ore buying or So far ns tho aenrrnl mnri,,,! 1.. ccnied thero is not much lo bo said, an prices nro tlrm nil nlong tho line, with no Indications of thero being any weak ness for soma tlmo to come.

Tholr fall orders nro coming In freely from all sec- iiuim 11 nn now mat tneir salesmen havo their spring samnles nv nr imniini- good many advance orders. Trndo In tha country, ncordlng to nil reports, Is lively, so thut Jobbers look for a good Blrlng up business throughout the fall and winter. Rubber goods are also in good demand. Jobbers thought they had sold about all uiu luoiwenr tney would unl stormv weatlier set In. but it seems thnt iimv were mistaken. Thero are evidently a good many merchants who did not buy all tho stock they neeed nnd now they nre coming on the murket and nre placing quite llbor.il orders. Mackintoshes nnd all kinds of rubber clothing uro also In good demand. The rains this fall havo probably made a good demand for them In tho country. Teiepaasie 10HH.
