LONDON, Oct. 13.-The outlook for the
hionoy market I now fairly rosy. The rnto
of discount outside the Hank of England
Inst week (I I1 not go above 2 per cent find
settling day, tli.-iiikn to generous govern
litent dividend ulsburscmc nts, passed with
out strnln. There In a strong probntill
lty, however, that Paris will soon demand
a considerable portion of the. gold of which
London ItnH had tlio use for immc time.
The stock exchange cloned with a rally
during the last thrco dnvs of the week,
after a decidedly unpromising opening. The
recovery followed the upward turn in Wall
street, which wan the only bright spot
on the horizon. Ax a matter of fact Lon
don operator thankfully accept encour
agement In these dnyH from whatever
quarter offered. Certainly there Is but llttlo
hero or In South Africa that would stlmu
late a boom.
There wan but little of Intercut In the
Cuctuatlons of the week. Ciiiludlnns were
ought, with Home treedom. Mexican Na
tional Improved slightly. Americana rose
generally on the talk of a compromise of
Some, sort, believed to be Imminent In con
hoetlon with the northwestern linos, thereby
releasing largo amounts ot money hereto
fore tied up by tho Northern I'aclllo dis
pute. Home rails strengthened nllKhtly
lifter a sharp decline coincident with the
copper scare. Incidentally Anaconda nnd
Jllo Tlnto were both up fractionally.
Weed Slutrea Viiolllnte.
Tho most Interesting feature In Indus
trials was tho lltitter In tobacco shares,
ilomo of which have risen sharply on the
protective arrangement between the I'nlted
BtatcH Tobacco Healers' alliance and tho
biggest Hrltlsh wholesale dealers, with the
object of lighting the Invasion of the Amer
ican trust. However, seeing thut tho Lon
don rutuller now sells uboiit tho worst to
bacco at tho highest price known to any
civilized community, the Invnders havo u
line Held In which to experiment.
Whllo tho Immedlnte conditions of tho
exchango am rather stUKnnut anil morn
negative than alarming, a look Into the
future sIiowh but small cause for optimism.
Tho Statist, In cotirM- of a long nrtlclo on
tho trade outlook, takes tho government se
verely to task for mismanagement and for
hot looking the South African situation
squarely In tho face. It predicts a further
depreciation In securities, especially In
homo rails, owing t the shrinkage In tragic,
the decreasing earning capacity and tho
Increased full wage expenditures.
Looks Ilnil Alirnnd.
Tho fact that tho trado crisis In Gcr-
.... . I .. nn.l llilauln la nlllV
keeping Us factories going by, government
contracts Judiciously placed Indicates, In
tho opinion of tho Statist, a poor contt-
Iiental market for British products, with
ncreaslngly Itcon competition, because coti
Incntal manufacturers aro forced to sell
lit almost any price they can get. On tlio
Other hand tho government must apply for
urther funds, tho Statist believes, to carry
hi tho operations In South Africa, while
ho mere fact that Great Britain has bc
run tho third year of a seemingly Intcr
ntnablo war adds to the gloom of an out
ook already cheerless. Tho public Is anx
ously waiting to discern tho effect of the
nore rigorous policy Inaugurated, but there
tro thoso who fear that, Instead of break
ng down tho Hoer resistance, It may only
cad to reprisals In kind.
I0NLY GOOD TRADING MARKET
lur When Verr Weak and SHI When
Very Strong-, Snya Ciena
1 on Wall Street.
NEW TOrtK. Oct. 13. (Special.) Henry
Jciews, head of the banking house of Henry
.Clown & Co., In his weekly Wall street re
view says:
Wall street was suddenly lifted out of Its
jjosslmlstla mood by renewed reports or
torogress In the vast rullroad combinations
which were calculated to have n stimulat
ing: Influenco upon values and speculation.
iThoso plans wero Interrupted last spring
nnd summer by a series of familiar draw
tacks, uh well an by the fact that prices
Svcro then too high to permit of any further
fuccesiful upwurd manipulation. 'I ho luge
nterestH then In control accepted the sltuu
tlo : they stood together In preventing any
j-up'.i! decline nnd .finally availed themselves
(is far as practicable of the advantages of
ower prices. Stocks are now more highly
concentrated than In any previous period
pf our financial history, thn big men hav
ing accumulated them for tho sole purposo
pf carrying out their vast schemes of com
bination which seem to bo an Irresistible
outcome of modern tendencies. It Is folly
tn mwiai-rntn Hie linixirtiinco of such trans
actions. Thoy will unquestionably add to
lie stability ami proucuuienesH m tniuu
ni'Mimnniu titiil tliev mav be used to Infuse
Iresh life Into the speculative situation,
hut outsiders' must, accept mo various rn
toorts wKh caution, and expectations of a
hrolonged bull movement based on these
developments do not seem Justifiable, when
such largo amounts of stocks nro ho d
awaiting buyers, ns Is now tho cose.
Whether It is tlio plan or not of tho mar
ket lenders to inaugurate u new upward
movement remains to bo seen. Hecent nnr
Jtet operations suggested that some parties
Vrcro endeavoring to accumulate stocks as
cheaply as possible and If this means tho
ntry of a new bull clement Into tho market
we may expect Increasid activity. Just now
the situation Is considerably mixed. Prices
fiavo decltt.otl 15 to 30 points since last May
nnd not a few aro of tho opinion that the
rffects of tho corn crop loss nnd fears of
Ight mopey havo been about discounted,
Unit railroad earnings nro likely to continue
fit a high level and that there Is no good
teasnn for nllowlng pessimism to cat away
prices any longer. On the other hand,
there aro a good mnny who cling to the
conservative position, pointing to tho .poor
cnrnlngs of many of the. Industrials and
the possibility of a trnde reaction, to say
nothing of their unwillingness to usslst In
carrying a burden of hlgh-prlccd stocks
Which tho bearers nre anxious to distribute.
Which of these two sets of opinions would
Brevall. It the market worn left to Itself,
It Is dirtlcult to say. At the moment It Is
fcf moro .conrequenco to wutch tho opera
tions of tho mnrknt leaders. If these nro
tm tho long side we may look for a moro
active market. In which we shouhl advise
protlt-tnklng on all shnrp advances,
Tho monetary situation shows Improve
ment In some respects. Crop demands havo
bout reached the maximum nnd within
three or four weeks tho return movement
of currency should begin, though ono or
two unfavorable bank statements In the
Interim should ciiihu no surprise. Money
rates nro relatively easy and loanable funis
ocni ample for present requirements, three
months of liquidation In the stock market
having contributed materially toward avert
ing stringency during the crop mov.ns
period. It Is well to bear In mind, how
ever, that little relief can bo obtulned from
fold Imports In event of rates working up
ward here. Tho llnanclnl crisis In Gr
ninny Is by no means over and tho strain
in monntnry circles over there Is still In
tense, (ierinany Is Just now parsing through
a. period of retribution for the reckless
peculation In Industrials nnd the Innumer
able Instances of rotten financing which
havo brought a lot of Orrmiiu promoters
under the ban of the law and cast a b'ot
Upon Herman Integrity that will rcmtlro
Borne tltmi to efface. London also In a
mood of depression resulting from the
yTrnnsvnnl war and with u new lonn In
prospeet Is not going to permit any de-
S lotion of Its gold supply. Even Paris,
inrmed at tho decline In copper, which 's
a favorite article ot speculation with the
French, is now unwilling to part with go d.
Other Influences also are adverse In roll
Imports Just now. such ns tho limited offer
ings of cotton bills, tho return of American
ecurltlea and tho Investment ot American
capital In Europe, of which th buying of
an English tobacco company for several
millions was recently u niost suggestive
example. The outlook for the local money
market, however. Is more arsurlng than for
the last two months and continued case
may be expected unless speculation Inter
Ceres. Quite possibly the new Uroat Nor'h-rn-Northern
I'aclflo arrangements when
completed will release large sums which
Iiavo been locked up In that Bcheme for the
ast six month!! and If so this will ndd
materially to tho easo In money. This lat
ter deal will undoubtedly bo a relief to tho
Interests who have been carrying theie
stocks for so long a period, but for the
present we rofraln from expressing any
Very positive opinion as to Its effect upon
the markot Manipulation may carry vn.u s
hlirher In consequence of these plans, but
jve fall to see any genuine bull argument
fh these developments. Tho sentiment of
the ftreU Is now bullish, partly an a result
f this transaction and partly as a rcucMan
from the downward movement of the last
few months. We reiterate the opinion.
However, that this is only a good trading
fnarket. Huy when very weak and sell when
jattr atrong.

HKULIN, Oct l3.-"Aftor the brief re
vival which murked the week previous,
begin the Frankfurter .eltung's bourse re
port, "there followed, last week, complete
depression and despondency, worso than
had been thought possible. The optimistic
hopes which many had begun to cherish
again proved deceptive. Neither In In
dustry nor anywhere else, was tho slightest
trace of iiermnnent Improvement percept'
hie. Such bad news came that there Is
absolutely no cause for wonder thnt uni
versal despondency Is increasing."
The bad news referred to was tho reduc
tion of dividends or the pnsslng of the
fcntnc by many first-class companies In the
Iron trade. Such reports nro multiplying.
The reports of many Iron companies ex
press gloomy views ns to tho situation,
declaring that tho crisis has not yet been
reached. The strongest proof of declining
consumption Is supplied by each day's
events. Tho homo market placed but few
orders and the companies are therefore
compelled to work on foreign orders at un
profitable prices. Tho Huldlnschlnsky Iron
works declared a dividend of 4 per cent, as
against 12 last year, nnd the Hoehum &
(Susxtnhl Iron works dcclnred ISM ter cent,
as ngnlust 16 per cent last year. Tho
latter reports orders on hand for 77,XO
tons, as compared with orders for lfil.fCO
tons at the snmn time In 1!KX. Iron shares
loll he.ivUy upon these announcemcnto and
thero was considerable short selling.
Coal shares were weak on tho arrival of
American coal nt Hamburg nnd tho pros
pect of lower coal prices depressed shares.
It Is believed tint the forthcoming arrival
of American anthracite coal nt Stettin,
partly for Herlln. will prove tho forerunner
of Kood business, A largo Uerlln dealer
went to New York a few days'ngo, In
tending to order from lon.ooo to 200,000 tons
of nnthraclte coal.
Transatlantic securities wero generally
neglected, with the exception of Canadians
und Northern Pacifies. The tendency for
tho llrst hnlf of the week was downward,
upon heavy realizations, especially In Ca
nadians. Hut a strong reaction In both
classes of shares occurred 1'rlday and this
was multitalued yesterday, Canadians clos
ing at 109.37 and Northern Paclllcs nt SS.
Domestic loans were weak on rumors cf
new Itnperlnl loans nnd a private sain ot
3.',ooo,0u0 of .1 per cents nlready sanctioned.
It Is seml-ofllclnlly admitted that large
Herman loans may no expected next spring,
Tho Itusslau railway loan Issued Thurs
day was a great success and Is nlready
quoted well above the Issue price. Other
Russian securities were sold In exchange
for It.
COTTON WORRIES MANCHESTER

MANCItrcSTnn. Oet. 13. Tho local mar-
ket Is nervous nnd unsettled, owing to the'
stuto or cotton. The Liverpool stock
statistics show only a two weeks' supply
for the needs of Lancashire and tho quan
tity nt sea Is much smaller than at tho
same tlmo last year.
The Lancashire spinners, ns a rule, havo
bought lightly, although last week they
purchased more freely than usual. The
prospect, however, Is that the rest of the
month will provo nn anxious and hnrrass
Ing period, with pnrt of tho machinery
stopped and the turnover unsatisfactory.
The ndvancCIn cotton woll-nlgh precludea
negotiations until a bettor Htato of things
shall havo been established. Not until then
will It he possible to do business In a
satisfactory way.
Tho demand from tho largo India markets
has been fairly encouraging, but tho nil
vnnco asked put nn end to tho negotiations,
China Inquiry has fallen off considerably.
Buyers aro generally In a position to wait
until the prospects as to future values
tako more definite shape. Trnde with the
levant nnd South America continues re
stricted. Yarns wero firm throughout tho week, but
business was difficult and the turn-over
poor.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-Scarclty of offerlmcs
and'n fair outside trade for wheat gavo
an, upward turn to the market today and
December closed a shade higher. December
corn closed -Sc down, December oats a
shado lower nnd provisions from 10c to 17Hc
higher.
At the outset' the wheat pit felt the de
pressing Influence of disappointing cab es.
Tho advance hero yesterday had met with
no response nnd December opened from Uc
to M0c lower at from 69ic to C9i,0C9l4C.
Offerings wero liberal at tho start, hut the
actual selling was only on n small sca.e
nnd of a nature that Indicated a desire on
the part of buyers to depress tho market
with a view to buying In again. Commis
sion houses began to buy and a report of
a good demand for the southwest and New
York brought nn upshoot In prices until
December sold at "0c. Iicnl traders ulso
helped by considerable buying, but toward
the end of thn short zosslon profit-taking
eased the market and December clofed
steady, a shado higher, at lOfiiOVaC. iocai
receipts were 150 cars none of contract
grade. Minneapolis anil Duluth reported
701 cars, a total of $51 cars for the thioa
points, against H7 last week and CM a year
ago. Primary receipts were 1.022,OiiO bit.,
compared with Inst year's y73,O0O bu. Sea
board clearances In wheat und flour equaled
ii'J.uoo bu. Australian shipments ror tno
week wero only Kl.oiW im,,, against 331,000
Inist week.
Corn lost tho greater part of tho bullish
Influence of the otllclnl crop report which
advanced prices yesterday and on Indiffer
ent cables December opened U'oMc lower.
Trnde was dull at the start and offerltiKS
were rather liberal, which tended toward
a further decline had It not been arrested
by the quick bulge In wheat. Corn began
to Improve at onco with the better grain,
especially May, and December soon sold nt
B7Uc. On tho small reactions thero was
buying for the outside account and on thn
hard spots professionals sold. There seemed
to bo considerable short Interest to sell, but
tho feeling prevailed that thn rise In prices
was not natural nnd December sngged
rapidly nt tho end, closing weak, He lower
nt 6014c Receipts wero 250 cars.
A range of Mc In December oats Indicates
tho dull end narrow nnture of tho market.
Trmllnir was nearly nil of the scnlnlng
nature, with a tiiltlug response to tho notion
of other grains, oecember closed a annuo
down at :i5Uc. Receipts were 17S cars.
Provisions were higher from tho stnrl,
not so much from any particular demand.
ns from tho cessation of tho outside liquida
tion that has been depressing prices lor
over a week. Hogs wero scarce and Janu
ary pork opened 6a higher nt $15.10015.15,

$15,224. January lard closed loc higher nt

Prices Suiter Itelnpsc Trltli Market In
I'ncertnln Condition.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12.-The cause of the
relapse of prices In today's stock market
was not ultogether clear, but the same
was true of the sudden ndvntico of yester
day and tho day before. Distrust of tho
rumors which were set afloat tn account
ror It, becuuse of somo Intrinsic grounds
of Improbability, seemed to be the reason
ror today's reaction. The same brokets,
commonly supposed to net for the same
large standard, the Morgan, Harrlman nnd
Gould Interests, were ncllvo In buying and
bidding up stocks today, as they were yet
terday, St, Paul, especially, wun fo.ccd
again nnd again to the neighborhood of
1W, but tho las.t price was 1644. mi')' a
shade abovu the lowest, the course of that
stock rormlng an epitome of the whole
murket. Tho Central nnd Southern Pacifies
wero nearest to this nndltlon. Prices gen
erally show losses on tho day running trom
1 to 1 points In the leaders and from thnt
up- to 3 points In St. Paul and the local
traction stocks, which were notably wink
throughout. Thu decreased loan Item of
the banks failed to show the full effect of
the repayment during the week of somo
$15,000,000 of New York City revenue war
rants and tho supposition was, therefore,
made that foreign bankers continue their
borrowing In the local, mnrket to repay
foreign borrowings. Tho disturbance In tho
Paris money market points to the likeli
hood of a continuance of this process. Tho
market closed weak at the lowest.
Ralltoad bondc have been In better de
mand nt home. United States registered 4s
closed 4 per cent over tho closing call of
Inst week.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
llnanclnl cablegram says: Tho stock mai
led today was In the main llrm, but deal
ings wero limited In volume. The American
department hung close to parities. A.
t hough little was done, tho sentiment was
hopetul.

CATTLE As usual on Saturday, thero
wero not enough cattle on snlo to make a
market. For the week the supply has been
light, a decrease being noted, both ns
compared with Inst week and also with
tho corresponding week of Inst year, as
the tnble of receipts given nbovo will show.
The quality of the cattle offered was ulso
rather common, but still tho mnrknt hna
been In good shape nnd prices hnvo Im
proved, There were comparatively few cornfed
steers on tho market last week, and, ss the
demand was liberal, prices advanced 150
26c all around. Toward the hist of the
week the market did not seem to be quite
ns brisk, but still there was not much
change In the prices paid. There were
twelve cars on Thursday and Friday from
ono man thnt wero good enough to bring
6.05.
Tho cow market also advanced qulto
shnrply, as the demand was of liberal
proportions. Anything nt all desirable may
bo quoted 25o higher for tho week. The
quality of tho offerings ns a whole was
not very good, so thnt the advance on
tho common stuff was not as great as on
the better grades.
Bulls, calves nnd stags arc nil fully
sternly for tho week. Feeder bulls In par
ticular weighing from 700 to l.ooo pounds
are In strong demand,
Blockers and feeders sold well all the
week. Heavy cattle were of course In the
greatest demand, but prices on those did
not advance ns much ns cm tho lighter
weights, that would scarcely sell at nil a
short time ago. Choice yearlings In par
ticular advanced fully 25040c. but even tho
medium weight cnttle of good quality also
Jmproved considerably. The general mar
ket may safely bo quoted 25c higher, with
choice grades 40c higher In extreme cnse.i.
Common trash of all weights was neglected.
Stock heifers ndvnnced the first of tho
week, but lost n good share of It later on.
Western rnnge steers were In good de
mnnd all the week from packers and prlcei
Improved 15023c. Common stuff wns rnthsr
slow sale, but. anything desirable was
nicked up In good season. Cowh may also
ho quoted 25c higher for the week nnd
feeders have gono up nil the way from
35c to 40c.
HOGS Thero was a light supply of hogs
hero today, and as nchioes from other
points wore favorable to the soiling Inter
ests prices hero ndvanced a big 6c. Tho
bulk today sold at $6.20, as against $6.15
yesterdny. The choicer loads sold mostly
from $6,224 to $6.25. Thero was very llttlo
below $6.20 today, so that the market aver
ages more than 5c higher. Trade was ac
tive, as packers all had liberal orders and
thero were hardly enough hoss to jra
around. Some of tho trains were late In
arriving, which, of course, delayed tho
market to somo extent.
The receipts of hogs for tho week have
not shown much change from those of tho
last few weeks, but there Is still a decreaso
ns compared with the same day of last
year. Tho tendency of prices was down
ward tho first half pf tho week, but still It
Is to be noticed thnt Chicago prices have
been paid on this market all the week. As
compared with tho close ot last week there
Is a dcclln of 30c to 35c. Wednesday was
the low day of the week, the market having
dropped up to that time about 40c, or, as

OMAHA. Oct 12.
Trade with local Jobbers moved along at
a very satisfactory rate last week. There
was, of course, not tho rush that wns ex
per.enced two or threV weeks ngo when
fall trade was nt Its height, but neverthe
less wholesalers enjoyed a very nice pr.
tronngo. A good many merchants were In
tho city placing original orders ami others
were on tho market sorting up their stocks.
It Is a llttlo early ns yet to expect much
In the way of sorting up orders, as the do
mnnd for fall goods In tho country Is now
Just getting nicely started nnd It will tnko
somo llttlo tlmo to break stocks. Jobbers,
however, conlhleiitly expect that n llttlo
later on thero will bo a big re-order busi
ness, ns retailers did not buy extrnva
K.intly to begin with. Thero seems to bo
no doubt In tho mini! of anyone but what
retailers will havo a nlco trado In all lines
ot full and winter coeds nn'1 as a result
they nro looking forward to n successful
sonson. So far this fall Jobbers Ir. prac
tically nil lines have far exceeded nil pre
vious records In the ntuount of goods sold
nnd thcro soetns to bo no reason why they
should not continue to do so tho remainder
of the year.
A good many representatives of local
houses nro now out with samples of spring
ilnen nnd they nre finding It compnrniv;ly
easy to Interest their customers. They my
that tho outlook for advance orders for
spring wns never better this enrly In tho
yenr tlinn It Is nt the present time.
The markets have not shown much
change during tho week, with tlio exception
of groceries. Hardware, dry goods, leathsr
anil rubber goods, furniture. Implements
nnd practically all lines handled liy Omaha
Jobbers nre ciliated ut good llrm prices, but
without material rhange, nines seem to
be on a good llrm foundation, with the de
mand fully equal and In many enses In ex
cesc of tho s.tpplv, so that the chances ot a
lower level of prices nro rather remote,
SiiKnr Itciiinlns Stendr.
Tho nil nbsorblng topic with grocery Job
bers last week was tho sugar situation.
There wero many reports afloat of tho
sensntlnual cut in the price of supnr at
vnrlous points, but locnl Jobbers failed to
find that prices on this market had weak
ened In tho least. So far ns this market Is
concerned sugnr Is selling nt tho snmo
price It wns n week or ten dnys ngo nnd It
Is claimed that very little stock has been
sold to the lower Missouri river points nt
tho reduced prices nnd whnt has been soul
hns not effected tho general market. As re
gardu future movements no one, of course,
Is In n position to stnte.
The market on canned goods hns also at
tracted considerable attention. The cntlro
lino may bo said to be In a very strong
position, ns stocks nro light and tho pros
pects of nn enormous demand favorable.
The mnrket on tomntoes, howevor, hns
been given the most attention nnd In fact
It has been In a rather excited condition.
It Is lenrncd thnt tho packing season ter
nnnnted with tho lightest pnek In a num
ber of years and as the old stock was
cleaned up boforo tho now goods enmo on
the market thcro Is no old stock to fall
buck on. During tho week prices ad
vanced 6074c per dozen nnd still higher
prices nre expected. Thoso who ought to
know predict thnt after the turn of tho
year tho highest prices will rule on toma
toes that havo been experienced In a long
time. . ....
Thero Is nothing now to report In farina
ceous goods, ns practically all lines nro
selling nbout whero thoy wero a week ngo,
Tho sumo Is also true of dried fruits.
Tho cheese market was rather unovon
lost week. The first few clays It took n drop
which stimulated buying to such nn ex
tent that tho loss wns fully regained le
fore the end of the week nnd the market
may now bo said to be In a stronger posi
tion than It was n weok ago.
Other stnplo lines hnndlcd by local Job
bers are Just nbout stendy.
Tho volume of business Is keeping up nt
a vory satisfactory rate nnd In fact lob
ber say thoy have nil they can do to keep
up with their orders,
o CuntiKe. In llnrdirnre.
The hardware market Is holding Its own
In good shnpe. Stock Is coming on the
mnrket n llttlo moro freely thnn It wns
during the strike, but thcro Is demand 1 t
nil tho goods that locnl Jobbers con t
their hands on. Tho samo seems to be in o
nil over the country and It may safely b
snld that tho general market was never In
a moro healthy condition than It Is at th
present time. Gnlvenlzed Iron Is quoted il e
samo ns It was n week ago and so n s is
practically tho entire line, so thero Is no
special featuro to the markot. All seasiv
able goods aro now moving out nt a rapid
rate und fall business promises to be the
best on record. Barb wlro In particular Ii
In big demand nnd In fnct Jobbers say they
never experienced such a heavy trade be
fote. The manufacturers are coming to tlo
front In good shapo nnd supplying the stock
promptly, so thnt Jobbers can fill their or
ders ns rapidly as they come In. There
nro few lines now which nro very short
nnd thoso nre not causing any great amount
of trouble.
Nut Quite So Active.
This Ib whnt might bo called a between
seasons period with dry goods men. Mer
chants ns a rule have bought their full
stocks and have not hnd time to sell out
and as a result thero are not very many nf
them coming on tho mnrket. A few mer
chants, however, were In thn city last wek
doing n llttlo sorting up. Traveling men a 1
clnlm that merchants aro doing a milling
business In tho country and that nil that H
needed Is a llttlo touch of cold weather to
make their stocks go to pieces. The w.iy
things look now thero will bo a big re
order business a llttlo later on and Jobber
nro making big preparations for It.
Traveling men nro meeting with good
success with their spring tines and. In. fnct
nro taking moro orders thaji they did a year
ngo nt this time. Both Jobbers and re
tailers scorn to bo very confident regnrillu;
future business nnd us a result no com
plaints aro heard.
Thero h03 been no particular change n
tho market situation, us prices nro firm nil
along the line. Tho demnnd continue
heavy both at homo nnd abrond, to man -fctcturers
nre finding a mnrket for nil th
goods they can turn out. Cotton go-xl i
particular aro. good and llrm and prom1 e
to remain that way for Minn time to come.
Good Trnde In Lenlhcr Goods.
Tho demand for boots nnd shoes Is sur
prisingly heavy for this time of year. Mer
chants nro sorting, up their stocks and
placing quite liberal orders. Thoy all say
that fall trado Is starting out In a moit
promising manner and they seo no reaon
why thero should not bo a good, brisk
trnde throughout the teason.
Rubber goods aro also selllnc freely, as
the frequent rains are bringing both foot
wear and clothing Into demnnd more than
tiflunl during tho fall of the year. Clothlnir
In pnrtlcular Iiob been selling freely anil
Jobbers sny the only thing thnt worries
them Is to uot the goods fast enough to fill
their orders.
Fruits nnd Produce.
Tho most Important change last week In
tho quotntlons on vegetables was the drop
In potatoes. A week ago they wero noil I tiK
at from $1 to $1.25 nnd now thoy are quoted
at from 80 cents to $1.10. nccordtnt. to
quality and vnrloty. Tho break In prices Ii
said to hnvo been brought about by tho
fact that receipts have Increased of late.
Farmers who stored their crop In cellars
and caves In tho hopo that prices would gi
still higher nro now cutting loose to avoid
tho danger from cold weather. Another
bear featuro Is tho fact that In some sec
tions of tho country wheto short crops
woro reported It Is learned thero Is a better
yield than expected. Very little can be
told about the futuro of tho market at the
nresent time, ns reports regarding the
quantity of marketable potatoes aro con-
uiciing.
Other lines nf vegetables havo not
changed materially since last report.
Tho fruit trado has been of very fair pro
portions during tho last week, but prices
havo held very nearly steady. App!cs are a
trifle cheaper than they wero a week rko,
as tho supply I" Increasing and the quality
has also Improved. The prices at which tho
different lines of fruit nro selling will be
found In another column.
