LONDON, Oct. 6.-A ccrtnln tightness In

effects of tho copper iciir! imil tho adverse
reports regarding tlx1 war In Hunth Africa,
till tended to create the Blight decline

Hvoek. 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:

In the face of. such declines and consid
ering tho concentration of holdings, bear
attacks upon railroad securities are likely
to bo mado with some caution. 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

otherwise tho syndicate will have to redttco

ditions were partly counteracted by the
Harpcner coal dividend, which proved to be

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.

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.

, NEW YORK, Oct. 5. 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. This
nun 1110 renewed pressure against Amalga
mated Copper depressed tho wholo market.
Railroad bonds have been dull nnd tr

CATTLE There were practically no cnt
tlo on sale this morning and consequently
there wns no test made of the market.
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

was not very active at any time practically
everything was sold ln fairly good season,
There havo been more hogs on this mar

but thero Is still a decrease as compored
with the snme week last year. The ten

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.
The lamb market Is also about a dlmo
lower for the week, and while on lomt
days the trade was a little draggy, still,
considering the heavy receipts, the mirket
was In pretty good nape.
There has been a good demand ull the
week for feeders nnd prices nro strong to
a dime higher than they wero a week ago.
Anything nt all desirable met with ready
sale.

OMAHA. Oct. 5.
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

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

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
