In his weekly financial review Henry Clews of tho banking house of Henry Clows & Co. says: , The stock market Just now presents the Interesting though not unusual spectacle of moving In conflict with natural condi tions nnd being entirely under the control of powerful and nblo manipulation, n no Investor of ordinary prudence thinks that prices are still at a high level, and that tho slight reaction from the boom of Inst spring, while It may not Justify any bear movement, Is certainly not a bull nrgu ment. It should bo borne In mind, how over, that tho prercnt situation Is a ver. tinusuat one nnd cannot bo measured by usual standards. ... . . There has been reaction in certain sec tions nnd In certain Industries from causes too familiar to call for repetition: on tho other hand, there are sections of tho coun try and particular Industries which nro Just feeling the full effect of the wave of prosperity: so that wlillo It may be reced ing at some points it Is still progressing at others, causing a confusion of results out of which It Is not easy to form conlldont opinions. . ii... Tho chief Indications of recession have been In tho smaller profits of tho Indus trials, tho losses hero nnd there In our export trndo nnd tho dnmngo to crops from drouth. On tho other hand, the leading Industries continue exceedingly active and old and new establishments are running to their full capacity. The enormous con sumptive demand for products of nil kinds surpasses the expectations of the most ex perienced merchnnts nnd manufacturers and affords tho most rtrlklng testimony of tho soundness and substantial character pf the country's growth. This is especially true of Iron and coal, the use of which Is dependent upon the nctlvlty of other lines of Industry. m ..... Thorn are no signs of reaction In theso market, nnd It Is evident that slight con cessions In values would bring out a now lot of orders thnt are belli:: held back for Just such a contingency. Tho agricultural situation Is undoubtedly tho most unfavor able fnctor observable, hut tho harm thero Is confined to spots nnd has many offset, so that tho Injury will bo much less than anticipated In July Inst. Farmers nro gen erally prosperous nnd out of debt nnd well nblo to meet their losses. Briefly stated then tho agricultural. Industrial and com mercial situation, while not en brilliant a n year ago. Is sound and satisfactory, and In theso directions no verv strong bear arguments can be found. There being nothing outside of tho mnr ket to Influence speculation, prices must naturally bo controlled bv movements more closely connected with Wall street. This Is precisely tho case In tho stock market nt present. Outside affairs have been nbout discounted nnd railroad stocks ore still chiefly dominated by tho progress or delny In tho community of Interest plans. Tho hitch which dovcloped out ot tho rivalry of two big Interests to secure Burlington & Qulncy was chiefly responsible for the abrupt termination of tho bull market last spring. It Is quite apparent now that the spectacular demonstrations In Northern- Pa eltlo last summer had probably more to do with recent declines than tho corn crop failure. President McKlnlov's death or fears of stringent money. It follows then that tho mnrket Is still lnrgely Influenced by this transaction and that nnv solution of tho present tnngle will afford a very de cided rcner aim siimumiu leimwcu iiov nlnulatlon for higher prices. The Indlcu tlnns are that ns soon bh this question Is nettled tho movement toward centralization of railroad management will receive a fresh Impetus and tho effect of this upon values It Is too earlv to determine. There Is no gainsaying the advantages of tins movement so nir. not merely to mo owners of securities, but to shippers and pnssengers alike who recelvo the benefits of uniform rates and better nnd quicker serv ice. Ho long ns rates are not pushed too high It seems llkoly that the railrnnds will not meet with any severe nubile, criticism. One step In consolidation furces another Hiid the movement Is not likely to ceno until all tho largo systems have control of the territory they are best fitted to serve. While negotiations of such vustness und Intricacy are under way wo may expect all sorts of rumors, fnvorablo and unfavorable, and when comnletcd these nlnns will un doubtedly add to tho stability and vnluo of good railroad properties: but In the Interim we may experience wide fluctuations nnd more or less friction ns rival Interests play for position. This may tend to Increased nctlvlty In tho mnrket and renewed specu lation. It Is well known that big men are mi fitlrrY I rt firn n Til niinli r f mt nrs u nt li in Vl they aro unwilling to part wth at present prices ana tneir interests no in ine uirec lion of hlchin- nrlces. The money murket Is almost past 4ho danger line, ns In n few weeks funds with drawn for crop purposes will begin to re turn. The situation abroad Is unfavorable nnd the prospect of gold Imports Is some what remoto. but the United Statrs Is In such n strong position financially and com mercially as tn bo only slightly Influenced by foreign affairs nt the moment. While the tiresent strong undertone continues wo expect to see a good trading market, but pruaence suggests mo maing oi proms on an soon rallies. SKIES CLEAR ON THE BOURSE Tirrad of Klnnnclnl Disaster nt Berlin In Passing- nnd Stock Condition Are on the Mend. RERLIN, Oct. 27. Uist week tho bourse nan a quiet and uneventful experience, w tn no considerable chances or uuotn Horn In any department. Several weeks Mow having passed without fresh reveln Sjns of business disaster, the opinion Is Vfllnlnjf ground that the most critical stage or tnn economical disease has passed. Ac cordlncly. Industrial stocks fairly main aincd quotations throughout tho week Although the Cologne volkes Kcltiing dS' nles that the German Iron Industry showi the slightest Improvement In uny briui-h the most recent sales In Great Britain am the United States uavo made a good Im tireAslnn. Referring to the situation In the United Htutes, the Frankfurter 'eltung says: "It Is n veritable victory for our IndiiKtrles thHt American Iron works are unpsuully wll emtilnved nnd scarcely able to take further orders. Naturally this reduces the otherwise sharp competition of the United States In the markets of tho world and gives to German industry n treer nein." American railroad Bhares were firmly held thmiizlmut the week until yesterday. syeclasW Northern Pacini', on the strength of the expected combination, but yesterday they were heavily offered In conseqtience of tho heavy off advices from New York, nnd Northern Pacific closed at 12.28. Ca nadian Pacific closed at 108.90. Ocean trans portation shnres were somewhat tirmer on the announcement of a slight Improvement In the freight market. Tho statement of the Helchsbank yes terday showing an Improvement In the note reserve of 101,00O,Oj0 marks made a good Impression, but It did not Influence quotations. Tho National Zeltimg says tho bank has received 35,000,000 more marks In British gold during- the last five weeks. Tho monthly settlement hw- begun under markedly easy -money conditions. Tho pri vate rate of discount fell yesterday to Sk per cent. Call loans were offered abundantly at 2 per cent and less, while money for tho monthly settlement com mands from 3S to 34 per cent In New York and London. Paris exchange showed a further advance on tho week. The remaining 47,0O0,0X) marks of the Russian Hallway loan of SO.OOO.ono marks will bo subscribed Wednesday next. Tho foreign trade statistics for Septem ber show Imports aggregating 3,95.1,539 tons or a decrease of 3i6,197 tons, and exports 2.783,755 tons, or an Increase of 72.126 tons.

TEXTILE WORKERS GRUMBLE Manchester Mnrket I flenernlly t'n stitlaartory. Offers Ileitis; Small nnd Sale Difficult. MANCHKSTKR. Oct. 27.-Lnst week's murket was generally unsatisfactory with a turnover below the average. Any Im provement In the demand will encourage spinners to improve margins. Cloth offers from India, and elsewhere were small, making sale difficult. Bids wcro scarcely entertained nnd consequently sales were small. There was a moderate business In sheeting and minor goods, China and the eastern outfits forwarding a few orders. At nurnley the manufacturers are grumbling freely, but they manage to keep somo of tho looms busy. YarnB were weak In tho early part of the week, trado being weak.

To this was added proof In tho way of Increased north western receipts today. On theso condi tions December sagged off to 71Hc helped by heavy liquidation by one or two prom inent local bulls.

For the week tho supply lias been fulrlv liberal, though not milto us many cnttlo arrived as did the week beforo. As compared wun me same ween oi last year, however, thero Is a marked Increase in receipts. Nearly ull tho cattle wero from the ratine, as very few native corn- feds wero on sale. Tho quality of the offerings was only fair, though ti few choice bunches arrived and sold ut fancy prices. Corn fed steers of good to choice quality wero In active demand nil the week and tho mnrket closed cood anil atrong. The lop price of tho week wns $0.30, which was paid for a bunch of steers und heifers. Good to choice beef steers nro q.iotable at 6.00 to $6.30, fair to good $5.50 to $6.00 and commoner grades trom $5.50 down. A noticeable feature of tho trudc In corufeds wns the lack of demand for wurnied-uu and common cattle, as puckers prefer west erns. good proportion of tho receipts wns mado up of cow stuff. Tho first duy or two of this week prices cased oft u trifle, but later on tho loss was entirely regained nnd tho week closed with the market good and strong. The bulk of thu natives this week sout from jz.Tu to w.oo. but n cliolco bunch of cornfed cows would probably reach $3.75 or better, while cornfed heifers of good quality ought to sell up to $4.75. There has not been enough of thnt class offered of late, however, to make a fair test of the market. Canning grades of cows sell from $1.60 to $2.25. There has been very llttlo chance In bulls. cnlves nnd stngs during tho week. Tho demand lias been active for tho desirable grnucn, while common stufi was a little slow. Bulls are selling mostly from $2 to $2.50, though choice grades would sell con siderably higher. Veal calves have. Bold as high as $5.50. There have been liberal offerlnirs or Blockers and feeders nil tho week, but tho demand wns equal to tho occasion und trade ruieu active on most uuys. unoico heavy feeders and particularly the de horned cattle may bo quoted fully steady for tho week. Cholco yearllngH are also steady. Tho last of the week, however, tho medium weights and tho common cattle of all kinds eased off a trifle and nro prob ably 10c lower than tho first of tho week. She stuff has also sold about steady and the same' Is true of stock calves. Good to cholco feeders aro quotable at $4.00174.60; fr.lr to good. $3.50174.00, and commoner kinds from $3.50 down. Stock heifers are selling mostly from $2.75 to $3.25, though It takes a choice bunch to bring much over $3.00. Stock heifer cnlves of good quality aro selling from $3.60 to $4.00 und stock steer cr.lves are worth from $3.76 to $4.50. Although tho bulk of tho receipts wns made up of western cattle this week the offerings of beef steers were comparatively limited. Packers wero ull anxious for sup plies and ns a result the market was strong all tho week and closed probably a dime higher than the cIobo of last week. Choice grades are Belling from $4.60 to $5.00, with tho bulk from $3.75 to $4.40. Rnnge cows are also strong for the week and the bet ter grades are worth from $3.00 to $3.60. Stockers nnd fcedors are stendy for the week where tho qui.llty Is satisfactory and weak to 10c lower on tho medium weights nnd common kinds. Tho quotations given above In the native division will upply to the westerns. HOGS There was Just a fair run of hogs hero today for tho last of the week. The market opened a big nickel lower, with tho bulk selling at $5.97406.00, with tho long Btrlng at the latter price. A few of the commoner kinds sMd nt $5.9... The cholco loads went from $6,024 up. Thero was npt much change m the market from stnrt to finish, though tho last end was a llttlo weak, If anything. , particularly on the heavier hogs. Today's decllno cnrrlcs tho market back to about whc.ro It was on Wednesday, the ndvanco of tho last two days being lost. ... , , There Is a slight Increase In the receipts for the week, both as compared with last week and also with tho same week last year. The featuro of tho trade this week was the break In prices on Tuesday, amount!!!" to 201'25c.

For the week thero has been n good, liberal run, an Increase being noted both over last week and nlso over tho same week last year, as the table of receipts at the head of the column will show. The market on fnt sheep and lambs held up In good shape until the last of the week, when reports from other markets of thn downward tendency of prices made buyers rather bearish nt this point. They, however, failed to break prices here, ns feeder buyers all wero anxious for supplies and outbid the packers nnd got the bulk of the offerings nt steady prices. As n result this has been about the high est market In tho country. Had It not been for this heavy demnnd on tho part of feeders tho market would probably nave ctucd oft about n dime, particularly on sheep. Tho top prlco for tho week on lambs was $4.85, which wns paid for a deck of natives of choice quality.

Tho greatness or tho ucaumont on fields has renewed tho chances of Its suc cess and tho day may not be far distant when coal will bo largely displaced by Its liquid rlvol In generating steam and as a combustible. Twenty years ago oil was practically un used as a fuel, because thn art of applying II with nut ilnncpr nnd with steady, heating results has not been solved. In those days It seemed Impossible to distribute ana con trol tho heat of burning oil. Now comes the reformation, the author of which Is tho Increased supply from Beaumont. Oil from this locality Is ndapted to combustlve purposes. Tho most rellablo reports announce the dally production of the neaumont gushers to bo 4.000,000 barrels, or 160,000,000 gal lons, per day, nnd, ussumlug this to be true, the noxt consideration Is transporting tho oil from Texas to tho heart of the manufacturing Industries. Several largo gushers now in process of boring will come In In a few days, which will Increase tho supply, which, although great, as above Indicated, Is not yet sum clent to meet demands. Among those under procet,s of boring the OMAHA TEXAS OIL COMPANY Is probably tho most Important. Their prospectus tells all about these won derful oil fields.

CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Warm Wiathir ItUrttinf ih MoTtwtmt f Fall aid Wiattr Goodi. MARKETS FOR WEEK RATHER FEATURELESS Advance Oritera for Sprlnsr Shipment Coming; In More Freely Than Kter Before This Early in the Season. OMAHA. Oct. 24. Omaha Jobbers are frellng the effects of tho long warm weather to quite an appro clablo extent. Retailers In the country are, of course, selling vory little cold weather goods ut the present time nnd as a result their slocks are quite complete. For that reason they are not sending In ns many slilng.uii and duplicate orders ns they would If the weather wero more seasonable. There Is, however, very little complaint from nuy so.irrc, ns both Jobbers Hiidre tnllcrs nro confident that the present lull Is only temporary nnd that when the fall de mand does set In It will be of llbernl pro. portions and moro than offset nny dullness that may bo experienced at the presotit time. Advance business Is very satisfactory. '1 raveling men are now on the rond with their lines of spring rumples and so far have met with better success than ever be fore this early In the season. They find merchants In good spirits and confident re garding future business, so that they havo llttlo difficulty In landing liberal orders. The mnrkets haVo been rather uneventful during the week, ns most lines are selling in nbout the same notches they were a week ago. Tho few changes that havo taken plnco havo In most cases been In the direction of higher values, showing that the general market is In a good, healthy condition. As tho demand in prac tically all lines Is fully equal to the ca pacity of manufacturers, the general Im pression Is that present prices will b maintained for some time to come. Slnco last report there tins been no change In thn sugar market, both raws and rellned remaining the same. So far ns this market Is concerned there Is nothing of Interest to no said regarding tho war betwoon tho beet sugar men nnd the trust. It Is under stood that very llttlo of thn cheap sugar Is being shipped Into tho lower river markets und lit fact not enough to nffect the mar ket one wny or the other. Bo far there has been no cut prlco sugar marketed In this territory nnd local Jobbers do not nntlclpnto any demoralization of prices In this sec tion. Co fTee Market llliflirr. Coffee took nn upward turn this Inet week, prices on both green und roasted being a cent a pound higher than they wero a week ago, As a result of the higher prlco tho market Is a llttlo moro ac tive than It has been for some time past. The only change In farinaceous goods of any Importance Is tho slightly easier feel ing In rice, Thn now crop Is now on tho market und stocks nro more plentiful than they havo licen In somo time. Beans nnd practically all other lines of farinaceous goods aro quoted the same as they wore u week ngo. Canned tomatoes are still firming up nnd reports from Baltimore stale that thero nro not more thnn 10,0eo cases or standard tomntoes In first hands. Owing to thn light puck nnd to the favorable outlook for higher prices In the future speculators have bought up everything available, which accounts for so llttlo stock being left In first hands. As previously mentioned job bers nro predicting higher prices In the future nnd particularly after the first at the year. Other lines of cniined goods nrn nlso In n good, strong position and tho gen eral market may be quoted firm and active. xnrro nas ucen no ennnge in tne clieesa market since last report, although price may be quoted strong. Tho heavy nur- chases havo now been mostly made, so that there is not as much Interest In the mnrket as there was a short time ago. As regards tho condition of trade local Jobbers report an active demand, with tho prospects tor uio iiutiro very encouraging, tliiNriisonntilc Wetitlicr Injures Trade, Dry goods Jobbers are perhaps more do pendent upon weather conditions than wholcsulirs In most other lines. Whenever tho weather Is unseasonable their trad falls off materially and us a result the'r business nt the present tlmo U of lather limited proportions. It Is claimed by travel Ing men that retailers out throiiL'h tint country have 3old comparatively little of tneir inn anu winter lines anu consequent! there Is very little onnortiinltv for them in sell nny goods of thnt character. Condi. tlons in the country, however, may be s.vlc to bo very satisfactory, as the consume! has plenty of money and ull that Is needed to make an active trado Is a wave of co d weather. Tho fact thnt merchants art: not discouraged is well shown by thu way In I which they are placing advance orders for spring. A good many merchants who hnvn held back In previous years are now plnclug liberal orders, which would indicate moic than thu usual nmount ot confidence In the future, Thn cotton goods market Is sllll In a very strong position nnd a number of Hues o( print cloths and goods of that character have been mnrked tip'from Uc to We. The demnnd Is active at these prices and miiuu fncturers have no dilllculty In disposing of nil the stock they can turn out. That being the case, the mnrket may bo snld to be In a healthy condition nnd thoso best postd onitho situation believe that present values are on a good firm foundation. No Change In Hardware. There is very little to bo snld this week regarding the situation in hardware. Prices all along the IJno aro practlvally the innio as they were it week ugo. The demand Is ns active as cutild be expected under prev ent conditions, mu ox course strictly coiq weather goods are not moving out as rapidly ns they might. On tho other hand, such lines as barb wire are selling moro freely thun ever before, owing to the fact that the. continued warm weather ullows an unusual amount of outdoor work to be done. 1-ocal houses are well supplied with practically all kinds of goods with the exception of steel ranges, which are coming forward rather slowly. Manufacturers claim that their capacity Is equal to tho demand, but that they are unable to get steel. There is not what might be called a shortage at the present time, as so far Jobbers have been able to 1111 their orders promptly. A rather unusual occuraiico took place last week, Inasmuch ns white lend cased oft ic The decline was not anticipated and consequently was somewhat of u surprise. This market Is still almost bare, so fur as Unseed oil Is concerned, mid Just how soon there will be a liberal supply on hand can not be told. Prices on raw range from 0a to 62c and boiled from 62c to 6lc, but very few houses nre quoting prices nt all. Both window nnd platu glass am quoted the same as they were a week ago. The window glass factories will begin operations November 1, but It Is not expected that any change In prices will inke place at that tlmo. Those who ought to know my thero will probably be no change at least before the first of the year and perhaps not then. In case any chango should take place nt that time It would probubly be only on the smaller sizes. Fruits and Produce, Thero has been a very fair trndo the lat week In fruits and vegetables. Tho warm weather has apparently not curtailed the demand tn any appreciable extent, but It has made It difllcult for Jobbers to handle perishable goods without heavy losses. One of the must Important mnrket 'changes Is tho lower tendency of potatoes. Home grown and northern stock Is now down to Kill 90c, while Salt likes and Colorados are quoted at $1 per bushel. Most other lines of vegetables are selling In Just about the snmo notches they wero n week ago. Mexican oranges aro now on thu mnrket and In fact they nre nil that can be had ut the present time. They are quoted at $4.60176.00 per box. Apples are somewhat higher than they weru a week ngo and are selling very freely. Tho quotations on thn different kinds will be found In another column. Cranberries nro also lu big de mand and nre worth $6.75 per barrel. Butter, eggs and poultry have nil been In fnlr demand, but the demand hns been equul to the occasion und ns a result good, active markets have been experienced. The only chnngeB In prices are on hens nnd spring chickens, which nro Ua lower than they were a week ago, hut thn market may be quoted firm at tho decline After exposure or when you foel a cold coming on, take a dose of Foley's Honey and Tar. It never falls to stop a cold It taken In time. Tti-iiai ion. Boyd Commission Co Successors to jamea S. Deyd A Co., OMAHA, NEB. COMMISSION okain. rnoviiioxi and stocks. Basil of Trade Ralldlasj.
