ft TITE OMATTA DAILY REE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1903. 19 t CONDITION OFOMAHA'STRADE olnme of Barinen for Last Month Broke All Previous Records for AugUBt. PROSPECTS FOR SEPTEMBER ALSO BRIGHT fa-Ice la Mnrh the Sums Kotchea Tbr Were a Week Ago, Although There Slav Urea Several Chtilti - Worth? of Notice, Omaha Jobber and manufacturer report Weir trade fur August an having broKen all previous records lor that muntn. 'i'lure were more merchants in tne city tnan ever before and their order were mure liberal tnan uaual. Traveling men aiau met with better success on the road than anticipated, iu that taking the situation aa a whole no one t-eerrui to have any cum plaints to offer. Not only that, but Bi'p .tember la atarting out In very encourag ing manner and unless something happens to materially change the situation Jobber are cuntldent that tins month wil also make a good showing. Retailers eeem to have more confidence than usual In future business and (or that reason are buying heavier and a better class of goods than Uiey did a year ago. t Una encouraging leature to Omaha busi ness men is tne large number of new cus tomers who have been on the market with n the last tew weeks. They consider thai a food evidence ot the fact that Omaha a reputation aa a Jobbing center ia Improv ing each year and that merchants in the territory tributary to Omaha ure aware f the fact that they cannot afford to go laewhere for their stocks. . There have been about the usual number of market changes during the wiiek under review. The tone to the general market, .however, la good and lirm and all Indica tions point to good healthy conditions for ome time to come. Collections aro reported aa being In very Satisfactory condition for thla time of the year. Sugar I' unhanged, bat Very Firm. Wholesale grocers report the sugar mar ket In Just about the same position it waa week ago, no change having taken piace on either law or reaned grades. The de mand, though, still continues very heavy and there la an upward tendency on all grades. In the line of canned goods salmon has been attracting a good deal of attention owing to the tact that opening prices on tho new pack of Buckeye are luvjuoc higher than waa generally anticipated. The lm- rresslon among Jobbers seems to be that hese prices are higher than the condition of the market would justify, though per haps not higher than would be Justified by the cost of packing. California canneries have very largely withdrawn from the market on canned fruits, offering only here and there a very mall part of the full line. Teaches and pears, where offered, are held from 6 to Si cents per doien above the opening prices. The market on future tomatoes remains very firm at the list quotations, as discour aging reports are received regarding the crop. The condition of the sweet corn crop ia also very unsatisfactory and prices Arm. Opening prices were made last week on new, looae, Muscatel raislna by the Cali fornia packers and It Is found that prices are about 1"4 cents per pound higher than the same grades were quoted a year ago. The result la that the Jobbing trade la very alow to take hold and so far as known very few orders have been confirmed. Job bers say that It remains to be peen how. cloaelv the association controls the acre age. No prices have yet been made on Seeded raisins and present Indications are that they will range IWitKa higher than last season. Higher prices are also ex pected on all grades of London layers. The market on dried peaches and apricots till continues very firm at the last ad vance. It looks; however, aa though rasp berries had reached the bottom, and It Is thought that any further change will be in .the direction of higher prices. Dry Goods Trade Very Active. Omaha dry goods jobbers have a very favorable word to say regarding fall trade up to the present time. During the month pf August they sold more goods than ever before and at the present time September promises to do about as welt. The de mand from the country through traveling salesmen Is particularly good for this sea son of the year and, taking! that together with the house trade, makes the total vol ume heavier than anticipated. Several lines of fall goods are beginning to get scarce and,-as predicted early In the season, through these columns. It Is not Dow so much a question of values as of delivery.' I'oDular lines of brown cottons are well sold up and many mills have shut down. Manufacturers are refusing to take orders for ten and twelve-ounce Canton Jlannels, and the worst of it Is that prices or the new crop of cotton for the early months Is upward of 10 cents. That be ing the case, those well posted on market conditions say that retailers need not be afraid to supply their wants at present Drlcea. There have been no quotable changes In the market during the week under review excepting an advance of "4 of a cent on American mournings and gray prints and of H a cent on American B and C lndlgoes. Hardware Active and Strong;. Hardware Jobbers report all fall lines as moving out very freely. Bo far the de mand has been heavier than It wus a year ago and present Indications are that trade will continue brisk throughout the season. The demand Is not confined to any particu lar line, but is general tor ail seasonable goods. The market is In a good healthy conill tlon and the tendency of prices la upward rather than downward. Shot for example has advanced 10 cents per bag owing to a stronger lead market. The market on tin plate Is quoted strong with stocks very light. Ulaas Is nrm with provpects raor able for higher prices. Turpentine ia sell ing at the highest prices that have pre' vailed for some time. There la alao I stronger market for Unseed oil, though a very material advance la not being anticl pated. The market on rope, however, lias ' eaaed off Vic per pound and la selling readily at the decline. Practically all other staple lines are selling In about the same notches thoy were a week ago and indications are considered favorable for a continued await hy market for some time to come. Oat After Spring- Business. Leather goods Jobbers are now preparing to start the campaign for advance oiders for spring, goods. Some saUsmen have al ready started and others will have their samples In shape within the next few days. iney all reel confident or doing a good bust uess from the start, us merchants are net ting accustomed to placing their orders early and as a result more, orders are taken acn year on tne nrat trip tnan it waa dob slble to take the previous year. Prices for spring lines are very firm and some classes of goods are a little higher than they were a year ago. mini in position to know Bay, however, that there Is no prospect ot any lower quotations and that merchants will be aafe In buying at present prices. There will be quite a few tan tthoes sold this year and most of the traveling men will carry samples or tnose lines. So far aa immediate business is concerned Jobber have no comnlatuta to offer. good many buyers arrived on the marke last week and w hi 1m thrt hulk tf ihe full business has boen placed still a good many vuycrs are expected tnia coming week. Rubber Clothing; Belling; Well. There Is very little doing In rubber foot Wear and orobablv will nut Km nnill mr chants begin to move the stock they have already purchased. There Is, however, a verv brisk demand for all kind of rubber clothing and In fact manufacturers In many lines are far behind with their ordera and aie holding their good at firmer prices than were asked a short time ki, ,m with local houses, however, are very com plete and no change iu prices Is contemplated- Some of the Omaha Jobber have recently boen making extensive Improve ment In their house and have enlarged their storage rooms, sample rooms and Im proved their facilities for handling goods, so they are In better position than ever be fore to handle the trade In the territory - tributary to Omuha. The stocks now In the hands of local Jobber are the heaviest and moat ' complete that have ever been carried in Omaha. OMAHA WUOLEALK MARKET.

In a certain sense, has comparatively large shipments of currency to the south. Influenced by Rome activity in tne movement or cotton rrom tne plan tations. The reduction in cash was prin cipally due, however, to absorptions of money from the banks by the subtreasury, in consequence of ftsoal operations, pay ments through the banks for customs and for transfers of internal revenue col lections from western depositories, through their New York correspondents being greatly in excess of current disbursements by the treasury. The decrease In specie was S2,zel,soo, and In legal tenaers i,on.-w, making the total loss of cash $3,879,100. which amount, it may be observed, closely corresponds with the $3,585,200 loss to the hanks as estimated upon tne dbbis oi me traceable movements of money during the week. The reaulred reserve wns reduced $4Wi,150, through a decrease of $1,992,600 in deposits. Deducting this sum of $4l,160 rrom the total loss or casn, leaves j,.v;, 950 aa the decrease In surplus reserve, which now is $17,296,975. Calculated upon the basis of deposits, less thoae of $'17,234,400 nf nnhlio funds, the surplus is S26.6n5,5i5. The statement failed to balance by $579,200, this being the difference between the sum of the loss of cash less the Increase of $1,734,300 In loans, and the amount oi. tne decrease In deposits. The above noted expansion In the loan Item waa moat likely due more to the ex tension of accommodation to mercantile borrowers than to the stock commission houses, and therefore, It was regarded aa unimportant. It may be noted that the loans are $6,284,600 in excess of the de posits, against $2,987,000 In the previous week. Though hiislness nn the stock exchange was less In volume than In the week ending August 29, the average dally clearings were $21,000,000 greater, amounting to $162,000,000; the increase waa pronaniy tnrgeiy aue io thn Rentemher settlements which Were In progrese during the week.

Moreover the fact that the treasury Is absorbing considerable sums ought not to cause anxiety, for should these absorptions continue to be large, the secretarv will probably be Induced to ex tend relief through an Increase of deposits of nubllo funds In the national bank de positories.

MONEY FOR ST. LOUIS BANKS Secretary of the Treasury Designates Five In Whleh Deposits Are to Be Made. CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-8ecretry Fhsw was In Chicago today on his way to Teadwood, S. P.. to attend the meeting of the Ameri can Mining congress. ' It Is understood that he had taken ac tion to relieve the St. Louis banks from the strain Incident to expenditures on ac count of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. Asked as to what action he had taken, Sec- accepted a copartnership Interest, in the exposition. At least, it has appropriated $t.ono.0o( to aid the exposition. This la available only to meet the current expendi tures. To relieve the present situation I have arranged to deposit $2,600,000 In the banks of St. Louis. Thla would he to no ad vantage to the banks If they were com pelled to purchase government bonds as security therefor. They have tried to bor row the bonds, but they are not available. In order to assist the banks such securi ties aa the banks can furnleh must be ac cepted. The banks can furnish such se curities as the legislature of New York has approved for aavlnga banks, and I have agreed to accept the aame as security for the $2,600,000 at 60 per cent of their par value. In other words, the bunks will deposit $5,000,000 of state and municipal bonds, such aa New York approves as security for money belonging to widows and orphana. And upon tills $5,000,000 the srovernment will deposit $2,500,000. This, however. Is intended as a temporary loan and will be gradually recalled as the S5.ooo.000 appropriated Is ex pended.

The detailed prospectus of The Twentieth Century Farmef for the year 1903-4 will be issued shortly, but in the interval Ita publishers desire to announce that the steady improvement, shown in that publication from its inception will be still more marked in the coming twelve months, keeping fully abreast with the rapidly expanding subscription list and the regularly increas ing advertising patronage. The Twentieth Century Farmer has forged to the front as the most up-to-date- and popular agricul tural weekly in the country, typical in every feature of the push and enterprise of the western farmer. It will app?al to every member of the farmer's family and to every one interested in rural pursuits with special emphasis on the great' stock raising industry. None of the other departments of agriculture, how ever, are neglected and the whole tone of the paper is directed toward broadening and uplifting life and work on the farm. Tho big state fairs are now coming on. The Twentieth Century Farmer will be represented at each of them by a competent staff and will review in successive issues the progress reflected in the exhibits. Those who are not familiar with the paper should write for sample copies, and advertising rates. No one interest'edin west ern agriculture can afford to go without reading The Twentieth Century Fanner from, week to week and no one who wants to reach the most' intelligent members of the farming communities of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado and adjoining states can afford not to use its advertis ing columns.
