( TITE OMAHA DAILY TtEE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1C03. 1 i ( ( '4 CONDITION OF OMAnA'S TRADE Y J Easiness Outlook More Promiiioj Thai at Any Tim This Year. TRADE THIS MONTH VERY SATISFACTORY everal Important Price CkiigM fVeat lata Effect Last Week, Par tloalerly Lin of Groceries, Which Art Advancing. 1ha business situation In Omaha, and urroundlnc territory la now considered jnore favorable than at any time thia full. Liurina the cold weather of Wat week the outlook waa rather gloomy, but alter the un came out and It waa leaned that the damage frotn froet waa not no serious a foared every one was filled with new hope and Confidence. The aennraJ nnlnlnn lh. rp1 from traveling men and from country- inercnam wno have been In the city within the last few day la that the corn crop has been damna-ad very little bv the frost, while some or It haa been Improved, and In reality the outlook for a crop la better than it waa a month ago. Mer chant are confident that they are going to co a good business and as a result they are pianna- nneral orders with local Job (era. They fifrure.that corn la bound to command good price, so that even If there la rather a llgnt crop farmers will have plenty of moaey, and In fact their profits will be larger than they would be If the crop were a record breaker and prices low. The total volume of business transacted by Omaha jobbers during the first half of September is reported as being the best ever known. This la true of practically all lines and In taken as a good proof of the growing Influence of Omaha aa a Jobbing center. The latter half of the month Is expected to be fully aa good, especially If the weather should be warm and favorable (or the maturing of corn. There have been several Important market fluctuations during the week under review, Imt by far the majority of them have been In tho d.rectlon of higher price. Coll-c-tlont, are reported aa being In fully aa good condition as could reasonably be expected at this time of the year. Groceries Belling Higher. The tendency of the grocery market Is H..doubrdly upward. This Is due In part v to the unfavorable weather of last week and also to the exceptionally heavy de- i mand, both at home and abroad. Local Jobbers have been enjoying a very liberal trade and In fact have had about all they could do to keD uo with their orders. The ausrar market In one way Is an ex ception to the general upward movement. but In another it Is not. The New York market on raws is practically the sams as it was a week ago, but refined grades are - a little lower. This Is owing to keen com petition .existing between several of the tanneries In the west, and, should thee differences be adjusted, the probabilities are that higher prices on refined grades would go Into effect. The demand con tinues unusually heavy and local Jobbers ay that unless supplies come forward more rapidly this coming week orders may not De ruled as promptly as usual. The cheese market shows aulte an ad vitnce. ' This is caused by a continued heavy export demand, together with heavy moments to the southern trade. The fao tones will close down about November 1 and a steady advance In priced is being looked for from this time on. The bean market was very excited last week and there was a sharp advance every day. The cold, rainy wouther which has been experienced throughout the bean pro ducing seotlona of Wlaconsln and Michigan for the last two weeks, which was Just the time When the cron was matur tin. is re sponsible for these advances. It is esti mated that the lose will amount to 50 per cent of the total output. The advance In prices for the week amounts to 2S3oo per bushel, with very few offerlriys. While California Is producing an raga crop the growers are not slow to take ad vantage of the loss sustained in Michigan and Wisconsin and are advancing ihelr Drlces to correspond to the eistern markets. The frost scare cf last week caused a very uneasy feeling In future canned corn and buyers were taking In goods at prices rang ing 30o per doten higher than the open ing prices. Up to the present time, how ever, no serious damage to the crop In Iowa and Nebraska haa been heard of. California canned goods are In very active demand, but sales are being confirmed only on a part of the line. Peaches and pears as well as anrlaota-nre In ' vert Hirht mmrilv: That ti partloularly true of pears, which are practically exnauea. except lor me extra tanaarna ana Doner grades. , The dried fruit market la ouofed active. with prices practically the same aa they were a week ago. The California associa tion has 'made prices on the new crop of walnuts and It Is found that they are about I'-io per pound higher than they were at the opening of the season a year ago. Ow ing to the fact that the supply Is limited and that first-olaas Imported nuts cannot reach New Tork before the last of No vember the general Impression Is that the California crop will all go out and prices, may even be advanced. The Coffee market attracted consldersble attention last week, owing to the fact that the crop estimates of Rio and Santos hsvs been reduced aeveral ml Hon bags. This, to' ether with Increased demand srd MgM supplies in this country, haa caused an ad' vanre In the market amounting to Ho pet pouna. . Dry Goods Continued Active. There were more dry gauds buyers on the market last week than expected. Their or ders were not particularly large, but there were so many'of them that the aggregate was very satisfactory to all concerned. Job- M ners are looking ror a continued active mar H Vet until after the Ak-Sar-ren rent ivll inn Iurlng the carnival they anticipate a ve-y active trade, as a large number of buyers have expreased their Intention, of being In the city at that time. There have been no quotable changes In the market on leading din plea during the ween under re vie, "i ne man price or cot ton still keeps the manufactured lines very strong and there seems to be no doubt In the minds Of those best posted but wha 6 resent prices will be easily maintained tiroughout the season. Active preparations are being made by local Jobbers for spring business and a good many traveling salesmen have already siarteq out witn some lines or spring gcods. l' Within the next week or ten days Jobbers expect in spring orders to tie coming In very rreeiy ana are confident mat tney will do a nice advance order huslneaa A. better and larsrnr line will be shown bv umana nouses this year than ever before. , Decline la Price of Axes. The hardware market as a whole Is In very much the same position it was a week go, wnn vaiuas on a good nrm rounda Uon. The only change In fact of anv Im portance ia a reduction In the price of axes amounting to about bonnac per doaen. The demand for seasonable lines of hard ware Is now of very liberal proportions, as the cold weather of last week made It Practically necessary for people to set up their stoves, which always brings In a large number of orders fur that class of goods. Other seasonable llr.es also moved out very freely, so that Jobbers did a lively business. Not only that, but they say indications are very favorable for a continued heavy de mand for some time to come. An advance of to on Unseed oil went Into eaeci last week. Ke Chaag la Leather Goods. There Is nothing particularly new to re port regarding the altuatlon In leather roods. There were a large number of buy. are In the city last week and placed liberal rders. Traveling men alao met with good success on ne rosa ana report fall traut with retailers as opening up In good shape, The wet weather, of course, made It ntce. ary for people to have good footwear and tor uiai reason rut) tiers sold to some ex leni. jopoers, no ever, aid not feel th tnecia or we aeraana lor that class roods to any extent. Kubber clothing, however, wss in very rood demand both In a retail and whuluiia way. Kaln coats In particular were In big demand and In fact Jobbers had about ail they could de to supply the demand. This has been the most successful year ever ex perienced by Jobbers of rubber clothing, ow xg to the excessive rainfall. rralte aad Fred ere. There waa a good demand all the week For fruits. Owing to that fact and also to tne fact that the end of the season la ap proaching the tendency of prlcea on all suon lines as peaches, pouts and plums was up ward, as will be seen from the quotations tt another column. Home-grown grapes are sow olio of the most popular l.i.es on th Raxket and are selling at ioo per basket, the crop so far la In very good conduit. n. The supply of apples Is now much better fliaa It has been before end th quality of ihe stock has also greatly improved. Th leruand Is very eitlfaclory for thia seasor Vegetables are selling In about the S-im lotches they were a wt-ek ago, with the laceptlon of potatoes, which have advanced d S-ufKuc per bushel. The egg market has advanced consider ably, but butter and poultry have not banged to any great extent.

CHICAOO. Bent. 19 drains were extreme ly weak the greater part of the session, al though whent steadied somewhat st the close. December wns '.c lower, while De cember corn was down mc. with oats off Vuc: Provisions were Irregular, closing oc mgner to 3oc lower. The fine weather and the bearish feellna" In other markets and free selling by the northwest accentuated the weakness In wheat. Ijinps sold out, some because they had profits, others owing to the action of corn and on general bearish rondltlnns. December started c to Vc lower, at Soc to SOVjc, and on steady cublns and email receipts, which Induced commission houses to buy early, old up to SOUjft.SoHe, But the advantage wss short lived and when the selling stsrted, there was little support. Stop orders were executed on the downward course and contributed to the weakness. December touched T0c and an imnortnat Arm took on sufficient to bring about a small reaction. The close was barely steady, with December at 79SC, a loss of Tic. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 1M,631 bushels, with primary re ceipts sejs.iuu Dusneis, against i,sv,,4ou tmsn- els a yenr ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re- fiorted receipts of 42 cars, which, with ocal receipts of 68 cars, none of contract grade, made a total for the three points of foo cars, against 9u2 cars last week, and 1,126 cars a year ago. Corn conditions were similar to those which affected the weakness In wheat and prices continued to give wsy before the nooo ot orrerings, wnicn enme rrom an oi recelons. The early market wns fairly steady at a small decline, but later long corn came out In abundance and stop orders Increased the weakness. There wns a little support offered when a loss of over a cent had been recorded In December op tion, and the close was He above the bot tom, with 4S"ic, a net loss of me. having sold down from 60e. Local receipts were 307 cars, with 22 of contract grade. There was but little support at anv time ,ln the oats pit, the weakness In corn and wneat causing outside noiacrs to sell out. There was a considerable quantity of oats on the market, owing to stop loss orders. December ranged between 377o and 8f(c, closing at 88c, a loss of 9i'dc. Local re ceipts were 81 cars.. Provisions were weak and there were lower prices throughout the list, except for ribs. Selling for outside account, In fluenced by the corn market, was the chief faotor. October ribs closed 35c lower at $13.36, Vlth lard off 10c nt $8.16. October ribs closed 5c higher at $9 20, there being some demand for this product by shorts.

Steel Common Reaehea a Kevr Law Level of Seventeen. NEW TORK, Sept. 19. The opening cf business on the 8tock exchange today was the signal for another aggressive drive sgalnst United States Steel common and the Industrial list generally. 80 fierce was the attack that the decline in prices embraced practically the entire list and many stocks found new low levels, 6teel common going off a full point. Demand of the so-called gilt-edge Industrials reg istered severe losses, a case In point being Westingliouse Electric, which euld off over 20 points, with a loss of almost half as much In the preferred stock. Other issues that bore the brunt of the opening on slaught included Republic Steel preferred, Sloss Sheffield. United States Rubber pre ferred and Amalgamated Copper. The railroad list also declined, St. Paul. Rock Island. New York Central, Canadian Pa cific. Chesapeake A Ohio. Norfolk St West ern and Erie second preferred, all making material recessions. The decline In the railroads resulted from the heavy selling of Atchison stock for a western firm which was recently prominent on the buying side. The drive against Steel common was be gun by a specialist, who offered the stock at 17ai and then down another fraction. Hear traders then took a hand and suc cessfully hammered it down to 17, thia being a new low level for the stock. Thou sands of shares of this stock have been poured cut during the week, and it has become the foot ball of the market. In the last month both Steel common and Steel preferred have lost over 7 points esch, making a shrinkage In the market value of the total issue of these stocks of over $!3,0U0,0C0. The market steadied be fore the end of the first hour, some sup nnri hoin elven to Steel and other Indus trials. The amount of short covering was also very extensive. After a brief reaction prices again steadied and, following the publication of the bank statement, gradu ally Improved to the close, which wa stendv nnd moderately Btrong. The one favorable feature of tne statement wae un contraction cf more than h.dw.uuu in iun.i..

For the week re ceipts have been fairly liberal, as there Is an Increase over last week amounting to more than 5,000 head. AS comparea wun the corresponding week of last year, how ever, there Is ft decrease ot about 16,010 There waa quite a sprinkling of cornfed steers In the receipts all the week, but the demand was in good shape u: til the late market on Thursday. At that time packers hu,n nnnndlna the market in bad ShRPO and continued the same tactics on Friday. On those two days tney toon on aooui oac, which left the market right around a quar ter lower than at the close of last week, an kinta aurrared in the decline. One of the principal roasona for thia break in prices at this point was me ucaiue at n markets earlier in the week, which left this market out of line, and packers conse- ?uently had to take It all off at one time, t is not safe to quote rood to choice corn feds higher than $5.855.50, while fair to good cattle would Bell from $4.75 to $5.25 and commoner kinds from $4.35 to $4.65. ... The cow market has neid up in mucn oei-ii- ihina than the market for cornfed steers. Good to choice grades can safely be quoted about steady. By this is meant grass stock good enough to bring $2.90 or corn feds good enougn to sen aoove o ia. a buico; choice bunch of cornfeds ought to sell right round $4.60, while choice grassers could be quoted up to $3 65. The cattle that have suffered are the medium and common cows, uch sell from $2.76 down, but even those are not more than 1020c lower. Bulls, veal calves and stsgs have shown very little change all the week and could not be quoted anything but steady. Choice veals sell up to $5.00 and grsss bulls sell largely from $2.00 to $2.60.- Cornfeds are very scarce. . , This has been about the most successful week of the season In. the stocker and feeder division. The demand from the coun try has been heavier, so that, although re ceipts hsve been liberal, prices have ben strong all the week and not many cattle will be carried over Sunday In the hands of The best e-rsdes are safelv 10?i 15o higher, and by that Is meant choice beavv dehorned cattle and also choice homed cattle of good weight. Lleht and common stuff hs sold more readily this week, but the prices hsve not Improved to any great extent. Strictly choice beaw cst tle could be quoted from $4.00 to $4.T0. fair to good from w su to as.w anu tair to me itlitm from IX 2R to 83.60. There wns a good supply of western beef steers on hsnd the first of the week, but, the lima as has been the case all the sea son, the quality was rather inferior, but showed some Improvement over the Inst few weeks. Good to choice cattle found ready sale from $3 .78 to 4 50. but the bulk of the general run sold from. $3 00 to $3 50. The earlv part of the week prices were a little higher end the latter part there were not enougn rattle offered to test the market, hot owing to the break in cornfeds It Is safe to sav that all the advance would have been lost and probably more, too, especially on the common kinds. The best grades of range cows are about eteadv for the week nd may be quoted from $3.no to $3 65. Fair to good grades are about lOrfrJOc lower end sell from $!.50 to $2 90. Canners are also 10 20c lower and sell from $1.75 to $? W. West ern stockers and feeders sre in-?l5c higher where the quality la choice, with the gen eral run of cattle also a little stronger. They hsve been Belling in the notches minted shove. t HOGS There was a very light run of hogs here this morning even for a Satur day, and the market advanced Just about a nickel. The market on paper Bhowed more of an advance than that, but the quality was considerable better than yes terday, ii there were more lightweights The heavy hogs sold larnely from $5.65 to $5.70. with common sturr going rrom 6o.i down; meldum weights sold from $5.70 to $5.7$ and lights from $5.75 to $5.85. Trading waa falrlv active, so that a reasonably early clearance was made In spite of the fact that trams were now in striving, iroe the week recelnts show a decrease s compared with Iset week amounting to about 8 000 head. As compared with the corresponding week of last year, however, iiin ( an Increase of shout 9. CUV) head. The Increase In hog receipts for the year to date now amounts to annui nean. Th. a-eneral tendency of prices has been now srd thia weK ana a nri gain or idoui ik la noted. This advance carries ths market to the high point of the month and In fact to the highest point reamed since June W. The feature of the market la the discrimination of packers sgalnst common hogs of all weights. Hogs lacking in qual ity even If they are light have to sell down with the heavy hoars, and where the hogs sre both hesvy and common they are very hard to dispose or ana nave to sen con siderably below tne mi i a ot tne sa:es.
