GENERAL JOBBING VERY GOOD.

General Commercial Notes.
The MovennMit of Money.
Hankers report money easy and all legiti
mate demands promptly met. Thcro is a
good demand from the country for funds to
move the grain crop , as the high prices pre
vailing Induce farmers to hurry cvcrj thing
thi'i eati spare to market. Exchange rules
unchanged at the usual ligurcs , jl per ? 1,000.
The general jobbing trade is very good ,
much ahead of last jear , and as n rule
dealers are taking a better and higher priced
class of goods. Coffee is quite active , the
demand being largely for roasting Uio ,
though .lavas , owing to their relative cheapness
and hardening
ness , are attracting attention
in price.
Sugar is weaker and mi oil-died I'riees ' are
not rigidly mini-red to by Jobbers. 'I he stocks
of raw sugars do not increase , however , and
the general feeling is bullish , but unsettled
Louisiana sugars are ready for market ami
it is thouirht that when these are frrely mar-
kctrd the di-mand from the west r relinctl
sugars will bo eui tailed. Prices are nom
inally IIH quoted , but most bujors get 1-lt.e to
V lower by asking for it.
The oil men manage to sustain prices lor
rarbon oil by attending strictly to business.
The combination Is in good working order
and prices are advanced at frequent inter
vals. The production is kept down and the
daily output of the oil wells last month was
41 , , MK ) barrels , a decrease of 20,000 barrels as
compared with September last year. 1 ho
total supply of oil in tanks October 1 was
71 7111,000 barrels , showing a decrease of
2.i45XiO ( barn-Is in twelve months.
For some time past there lias been ati active
trade in llimecd oils , and prices have ad
vanced several timeIt is stated that the
western mills nrc producing all the linseed
oil their capacities will admit. Most ot the
large concerns are from two to four weeks
behind in tilling orders , the rush of which
Known as yet no symptom of abatement , and
crushers will accept orders only upon the
stipulation that the time of delivery shall he
ut tficir own option.
Canned goods me making their appearance
and already there is n good traflle in various
goods The sales of canned corn have been
1'iuto heavy on account of the Hosts , which
iihortciied the delivery from Maine. That
state did not produce over fit ) per cent of an
average , and the quality has been poorer
than usual , nnd in a number of eases the arti
cle has been i ejected. The tomato pack , too ,
is short , and it is reported that several sec
tions in the west , which ordinarily have a
surplus to dispose of. are likely to be short
this year and to depend upon eastern markets
for a portion of their supply.
Mackerel are still advancing , owing to the
muni catch. Where the mackerel have emi
grated to is a Hosiery , the catch having been
meager for three consecutive jeurs. Mhe
total mackerel catch to date is 31r.C.3 barrels ,
against t'.5,74'.l barrels In the same time in
I.ss7 , fa'i \ barrels in lMi , and 2i\7ii7 barrels
in the saiiio time in Isk5. In the Hoston mar
ket a few llsh taken on the Irish coast have
been icceived , and in New York Norwegian
stock in small quantities lias sought sale
among the dealers , but until these foreign
madteiel are properly prepared they are not
likely to meet with favor upon tills side of
tbo water , as the trade do not care to l.ividlo
Jish that are cut open on the bellies instead of
upon the back.
Complaints are made on the score of short
weight In herrings , iniicKerol , and other
pickled llsh. Such shortcomings have not
been wholly unknown In past sessions , but
this year they are more numerous than here
tofore. The high prices have led packers to
pickle their llsh and hurry them to market
toforo they had been properly cured. Short
weights , especially on Labrador herring ,
have been so common that a leading New
York house , in older to protect itself and its
customers lias found it necessary to unpack
and revvelgh every barrel received. One
barrel purported to contain 200 pounds of
fish , but the weight showed a scant 157
pounds. After weighing each consignment
the weigher calls in u notary public and
Bvvcarn to the correctness of his record.
Upon presentation of this statement the
idilppcr generally refunds for the shortage ,
but the tiouse is not reimbursed for the ex
pense of discovering It.
Dried fruits are selling more freely and
California raisins are in especially good de
mand.
New rleo is being marknted freely , and
there is a fair amount of trading nt the ro-
centlv advanced prices. Dealers , however ,
nro afraid to purchase heavily , as they fear
that the accounts of the loss In the south are
greatly exaggerated.
Canned tomatoes are advancing on account
of a short crop. Reports from Maryland ,
Delaware , ami New Jersey are to the effect
that many of the leading packers have aban
doned all hope of linding any more tomatoes
of llrst class , or even fairly good quality , and
consider the season practically at an cud.
Packing in many of these sections was con
tinued last year well up to the end of October.
Dry goods are in active demand and prices
ore freely unstained. Sales are considerably
In excess of last year nnd Jobbers are well
pleased with the outlook.
Hardware men are very busy and have all
they can do to handle the orders received.
The lumber trade lias never been moro act
ive and the demand for lumber for corn cribs
is unprecedented. A largo number of new
elevators are erecting to hold the enormous
crops of the year and the outleok In this
trade Is very line.
Crop Expert Prince says ho Is unable to re
call a time in his experience when "at this
season hogs were so thoroughly cleaned as
now. In fact the spring pigs must bo the
main reliance for fall nnd winter pachmir.
Huycrs locate every hog tit to ship , but it
takes weeks now where it did days in former
seasons to pick up a car load of hops in any
of our great corn and hog districts. "
The total allotment to steel-rail mills up to
Kiptember 1 , by the association was 1,2.W.OOO
tons , which has been sold. Eastern advices
Mate that a new allotment of 200,000 tons has
Just been oulered. The total product of the
year will bo about 1,500,000 tons.
Shipments of boots and shoes from Hoston
since January 1 aggregate 2,5S'J,1S4 cases ,
ngalnst 2,410,243 cases for the corresponding
time last year.
Take it all in all wo are a very prosperous
community , with plenty of money in sight
for immediate wants and enough stuff in
ight to market Mid replace expenditures.
The Ficmont , F.lkhorn & Missouri Valley
road Is about to bo connected at Superior
with the Atehison , Topeka & Santa Fe , giv

Oct. 13. ( Special Telegram to
TUG HKF..J This was a dull day In wheat
the dullest day in three weeks and it was as
uninteresting as It was dull. It metaphysics
and oratory could have put prices down
the market would have gone to smash , for
nine out of ten men on 'change are bearish.
The sentiment is seemingly all ono way. A
lart'c majority of original bulls are outspoken
advocates of a "big reduction. " It is true
they have sold out their wheat , but they
wouldn't have done so if they hadn't thought
the market had gone high enough , and noth
ing has occurred since to shake their faith in
the correctness of their judgment.
"Chicago is now outof joint with the whole (
wjrld1 said a vetiraii bull who is temper
nrily on the other side. Sure enough it Is
rapidly taking its place as the highest
market in the country. A day or two more
of weak markets In Duluth and
Minneapolis will force it out into
solitary prominence unless it should
give way with the others. Occupying this
position it is a little remarkable that only
nine cars out of eighty nine inspected here
to-day t graded No. 2 , and that receipts for
Monday are estimated at only ICO cars.
When it is remembered that speculation is in
contract grades it cannot bo wondered at , in
the light of inspection returns , that a great
many people who got into wheat when it was
cheap refused to bo talked out or frightened
out of their holdings. Neither is it strange
that fresh outside money gets into wheat on
the breaks , and sits on it regardless of local
or general pressure. Outside capital is
almost as serious a bar to breaks
as the attitude of Fairbanks , the
linkers , the Cammaeks or Hutchinson. The
opening range was $1 Kl't ' , for December and
M.Ui's for May. December broke off to
* 1.15 , ' ; and rallied rapidly to J1.17'4 ' , selling
off subsequently to $ l.ir > X. which poini was
touched several times in the course of the
trading. The average price was above jl.Ki ,
however , ranging during tbo quietest hours
$1.10itl.IOVi and later crawling up as nigh as
1.10 % , but closing rather weak and fully le
lower down. May ranged l'4 ( < ( Je under De
cember and acted as though it wanted to
slump bndlv. The wide advertisement given
to the fears of a December deal is eui tailing
operations in that month but trading in it is
still lartre. May ranged to-dav from 1.15'N '
down to Sl.H'k , averaging probably $1.1 IV1
1.14' ' " , . As before stated , the volume of busi
ness was only , , moderate and the
day passed uneventfully imJ without special
evitement. Cables were quiet and price
changes unimportant. The tenor of news of
nearly all descriptions was bearish , thouirh
in the background the great strength of the
general situation and Jhu undaunted stub
born spirit aniongiUielnills who linvo their
mind's eye. tKod oul 50. As compared with
.ve-tterduv's closing prices 1 UP futuic.s do not
show a serious cliangc'utiliis point.
' [ ho iceeipts were only 172 cars of corn to
day , where 000 wfcrd expected. This K.IVO a
slight degree of lirumoss to early trading and
the prevailing damp weather was likewise u
factor in favor of ithe bulls and tending to
make shoit sellers for near by lutures some
what uneasy. Tito tradlnu spirit was very
weak among local , operators and in the ab
sence of outside orders business
was very dull , with long intervals between
transactions. There is still n fear of manip
ulation In .futut'e's' 'this side of January
which Is u bar to any freedom in selling for
near months which otherwise would bo in
duced by this gear's enormous crop. Price
fluctuations were narrow and so was the
character of the day's ' business. A leading
operator was a free buyer of Oetober , but
sellers who had not possession of the tangible
article were afraid to risk the sale and the
price is being maintained at its present figure
principally from such considerations. Uusi-
ness in lutures continued quiet to the end
and closing prices show slight gams in the
nearby months and fractional declines in
'
those'more distant. Oetober closed at 4.V4c ,
an improvement of S" , November at 4. > J < fc ,
being > 4c higher , December at 41c bid. which
is a loss of "Nc , and May closed at 3'J4 } < gW\c ,
showing a fractional difference MOc under
yesterday.
Oats were much less active than yester
day , though the feeling was fully as steady ,
with most futures averaging firm toc
higher. Thcro were no outside trading or
ders of consequence , and the light business
was centered chiefly in May , which was in
some request at 2 ! > 9e , after touching 'tc
above that. October was neglected , although
there was u lair trade in cash oats , wl.ieh
sold at 24' c for No. 2 , or ' c improvement.
In provisions the day's trading made a
poor showing. For cash lard and meats the
demand was somewhat better than of
late , but In n speculative way dullness
held control. Operators were disinclined to
take sides and the little future business trans
acted was mainly of a scalping order. Short
ribs were weaker than eitner lard or pork ,
and closed for October 17Ke , and for January
5o lower than yesterday. Pork for delivery
later than October declined 7J c , but lard for
October and subsequent months was ad
vanced 2)ic. ) Cash lard was sold freely for
shipment at $9.10. For green hams averag
ing 1(1 ( Ibs. , Oc was paid for Immediate deliv
ery and 9' c for the last half of November
and December. Cash sweet pickled hams of

Ciuruio , Oct. 13. [ SpccialTelegramtoTin :
Unn.l CVTTI.E. Out of the entire receipts
beef packers hud nearly one-third direct
from their buyers at Kansas City , which loft
only a small number for the general market ,
and such were sold out at about the same
range as yesterday. On all native classes
the market may bo quoted slow , weak anil
rather lower on good natives and 15i25c (
lower than last week on medium
and fair natives. Cow stock sold
to-day and all the week better than
'
last 'week. The run of Texans begins
to show a fulling oft for the season and the
chances are that lovv'grado ' natives and cow
stock is likely to quiolly but steadily sell bet
ter. The run of range cuttle is also drawing
to a close , which would indicate that native
medium steers would make more money
within the next month or so. Range stock
that has come into competition with medium
natives has given the butcher and beef
packer the best of satisfaction and have out-
soldjand outclassed natives every time. The
stocker and feeder trade has been active ana
Is liable to rule so for some time. The de
mand , however , is largely for good heavy
steers , while light and medium sorts are
rather neglected. U.'ho receipts include

Hoes Trade was slow and unsatisfactory
from the opening to the closo. It was a
question with many whether prices were
lower than yeatcrday's close. Some
salesmen of experience claimed there
was cer'amly a decline of 5@10o. All ad
mitted a dron of iCGJISo from the opening of
yesterday , placing prices about as low as at
any tlmo this week , even lower than on the

Tin : Hii : : . ] The important features of the
money market during the week weio nn in
creased demand from nearl.\ all classes of
borrowers and n decidedb tinner feeling in
interest rates Calls from grain operators ,
both In this city and at other leading \\est
crn financial centers , where liberal quanti
ties of gram are helm : handled , weit-L-oed.
Lai'e ( shipments of cuncnoy weir al o made
tin grain and live stock districts to bring
gram nnd stock to market. There was also
an Increased demand from parties who are
preparing ' to crib corn and feed cattle during
the t winter , and a larger amount of their pa
per was offered at banks than at an ) previ
ous time this season. Merchants and manu
facturers also made liberal imiuines for
loans with which to incut maturing obligations
lit
tions t , nnd also to purchase new sup
plies to replenish stocks. Despite the
fact that the secretary of the treasury
has i disbiuspd $ see , < iol.HK , ) bj the purchase
of bonds since the 17th of April last. There
0il
appears to be no surplus of funds , and , although
ilt
though t bankers ha\c been able to meet all
calls ' made on them , they are becoming more
conservative in making loans. Interest rates
I'r ranged n < ii ( > per cent on call , n very few loans
I'c being t made at the inside. On time loans O1- ;
( u 71 , , ' per cent and occasionally percent was
obtained. New York exchange was in fair
demand with steady sales , ranginu' at ( Mini ; 0c
discount i per f 1.000. Foreign exchange was
steadier and a shade higher , owing to the
lighter offerings of bill . Documentary
sterling on London sold at $ l.viT4.h2'4. (
The Jobbing trade in dry goods , while not
so active , was of a liberal volume. Millinery ,
clothing and collateral lines were fairly
active. ( Iroceries and hardware were taken
f reelj , but no iinpoitunt changes in juices
were witnessed.
The market for railway shares was fairly
active but nervous , and advances and de
clines followed each other in quick succes
sion. The disturbing features were the re
cent advance in rates for money in London
to u point where it is unprofitable to carry
stocks there at present ligures , making It
more expensive to carry stocks in London
than in New York. London operators were
fair sellers early in the week , but buyers
later. . Hut foreign operators us u whole did
not trade with their accustomed freedom ,
and the market was left clilelly to the pro
fessionals , who manifested an inci cased dis
position to reali/c prohts. Their conlidence
has been shaken to some extent by the re
duction in the Atehison divi
dend. The subsequent heavy renli/ing
of holders in that stock in Hoston
ami a decline of 17 points stalled a genet al
realt/ing movement in New Kngland anil
other stocks that have been considerably in
flated of late , and sharp declines were sub
mitted to but were followed by fair advances.
Tin- granger loads received fair attention.
The teelingof confidence that existed at the
close of the week over the fact that the
Noithwestcrn passenger rate difllculties had
been adjusted was In a measure dissipated
by the withdrawal of Wisconsin Centra1
Irom the Notthwestern Pusstngcr associa
tion , and another late war is imminent Coal
stocks were fairly active. Several of the
leading .southern securities were traded in
fairly , but no important changes occurred.
Earnings are not as satisfactory ns generally
expected. The sales on the New York ex
change for the week were 1IM > .900 shutes.
Speculative trading was again quite brisk
in the grain markets , especially in wheat and
corn , while provisions attracted somewhat
less attention than during the week previous.
An unsettled feeling prevailed generally and
prices fluctuated wildl.in . the grain markets ,
while in provisions there was considerable
manifested and a lower range of prices sub
mitted to. Operators ns a into are centering
their business in more deferred futures-
more conservative , thrcotosix months ahead
thus avoiding as much as possible the dan
cer of u "squeeze. " While margins have
been called with considerable freedom there
has not been quite so much pressure ns dur
ing the week previous , and the probabilities
nro that there is now less money placed to
secure contracts than at the opening of the
month. The shipping branch of trade
has exhibited considerable life ns parties
were nnxious to move their property at pres
ent rates of freight nnd place it in eastern
markets before the close of lake navigation.
The receipts of grnm at the principal west
ern points were quito liberal , and shipments
moderately free. The export movement in
grain was light and In provisions only fair ,
the scarcity of tonnage checking business.
Domestic markets have shown more than
usual unsteadiness and reports from abroad
were less favorable to buyers.
Prices of grain were lower early
in the week but exhibited some
improvement near the close. Seeds were
stronger , and in some cases slightly advanced
prices were obtained. The receipts of live
stock in the principal western markets nrc
gradually increasing both in number and
quality. The packing of the west is pro
gressing favorably and rather larger now
than at this time last year , though .showing a
liberal decrease since the opening of the
summer season.
