The Money Market.
Bankers report a ( pilot money market the
past week with a fair demand from both
rity and country. The market for tnonny Is
rnslcr than usual nt this season and all re
quirements are freely mot at the usual rate
10 per cent. ICxehango is in good supply
und steady at $1 per 1,000 premium.
An exchange states that n start has been
made at copper smelting In Nevada. Two or
three furnaces are already at work in the
eastern part of the state , and there are
many in western Nevada that might bo
started up.
The Chicago , Rock Island & Pacific rail
road has asked the New York stock exchange
to list $1,000,000 additional first mortgage
extension and collateral bonds issued against
u dejiosit of an ciinl ( | amount of Chicago.
Kansas & Nebraska railroad bonds.
Within the past week four national banks
in different parts of the country have sur
rendered their bonds Jield to secure public
deposits. It is stated nt the treasury that
other considerable withdrawals are contcm-
' ' "
trade is fairly active. There Is
no great rush in any of the lines , but orders
are liberal and Jobbers are very well satU-
lied. The election excitement , as it approaches
preaches its elimux , tends to divert men's
niiiulH from business , especially in the coun
try , and quite n lull will bo looked for from
now to Novem berO , but great confidence is
felt that the closing weeks of the year will
bo busy ones. Collections are good , and in
Nebraska are commented upon us being very
good Indeed.
Lumber Is particularly active and the
shipments to the country are heavy , while a
very good demand prevails in ttio city.
Groceries and dry goods arc doing well , and
hardware merchants report trade very satis
factory and sales ahead of last year. Prices
rule steady with an upward tendency and
there is a sure advance predicted in some
kinds of canned goods , especially tomatoes.
Holland herring are held tlrmly owing to
the short supply. Dried fruits are plenti
ful and the California product is of
line quality. Teas nro somewhat higher ,
especially in the lower grades. Provisions
are lower and leading packers quoted a rad
ical reduction in the price of lard and smoked
meats the past week. The output of nnthra-
oito coal continues excessive and the demand
is moderate , hence higher prices should not
bo looked for. Flour is fairly steady , and aa
the principal millers of the northwest arc
strong "bulls" higher prices may be legiti
mately anticipated. The supply of both Car
olina and Louisiana rico is restricted and
prices are vary steady. The liner grades of
canned fruits nro scarce and higher.
Cheese is In good demand and prices
have advanced. Sugar is unchanged ,
with n tendency to lower prices
but the "trust" is still In the ascendancy and
likely to remain so this year nt least. The
demand for butter in all grades is good and
higher prices ate likely to prevail.
It is the case every year u hen the crop of
American sugar begins to come in that all
through the south and west as far us St.
Louis the Now Orleans sugar is preferred.
This sugar is now appearing , and as thcro is
a very large crop the southern planters are
making money. Not that the acreage is in
creased , but with their improved methods of
machinery they do not make half the waste
and thereby the output is Increased. Tno
Boston Commercial Bulletin says that "tho
arrival on the market of the Now Orleans
crop has curtailed the territory of the re-
llned-sugar men. The market is In a some
what peculiar condition. While u general
steady feeling pervades it there is at the
same time u feeling that the prices will soon
begin to go lower. The stocks of raw sugar
which up to now have not been up to the av
erage are now plenty for the demand. "
Oils an * selling actively und carbon oils are
steady. The consumption is over 40,000 barrels
daily in excess of production and this is mak
ing 'heavy inroads on the visible supily ,
which is less than 21,000,000 barrels.
Mackerel are scarce and high , with slow
sales. The mackerel licet did little or
jiothing the past week and the season is now
virtually over , though a few vessels will re
tflf main out a little longer in hopes of making
some hauls which would compensate par
tially for their poor luck during the summer.
The catch to date is only 34,007 bbls , against
00,825 bbls in 1687 , 71,774 bbls in IbbO , and
801,595 bbls in 18S5. In 1884 , the great
mackerel year , the total Now England cutcli
was 470,0 18 bbls.
The English salt trust will begin opera
tiuns with the opening of November. The
output is to be restricted , competition
avoided , and prices advanced. Those who
have studied Iho situation have arrived at
the conclusion without much brain work that
higher prices for English suit will cause
higher prices for New York and Michigan
suit , as American salt producers are always
ready to further their own interests.
The demand for sugar continues ralhcr
slow and prices are not characterized by any
great firmness. The suhcme of rotlning
sugar by electricity , which has been boomed
considerably among reiincrs of late , has not
yet been publicly tested in u practical man
ner , and some doubts have been expressed
regarding the outcome. Kansas , if it keeps
up the record it has made this
year , will soon bo a large sugar state. Largo
amounts of sorghum sugar and molasses have
been raised , ami the price bus been much
lower than heretofore.
Coffee is meeting with a very fair demand
niuljtho Importations are increasing. During
the past week 115,000 bags of coffee were
shipped on steamers and hail vessels from
Rio do Janeiro to this country , and 8,000 br.gs
left Santos forour shores. Supplies at Suntos
nro increasing and arc quite largo. The
speculators nro still trying to boom coffee ,
and bad Brazil crop reports ate made the
niOHt of by the bulls.
The codtlsh catch shows a falling off from
last year , but the supply will probably be
enough for the demand ut the prices asked.
Herring and other kinds of pickled flsh are
attracting moro attention. A schooner has
nrrived ut Gloucester with 10,000 small mack
erel , which sold upon receipt at 4o each.
According to the Philadelphia Press the
iron trade is just now in a comparatively sat
isfactory condition. Lately the demand has
been sufllciently active to prevent any in
crease of stocks and prices have had no op
portunity to devclopo weakness. On the
contrary mills and furnaces have all been
pushed for deliveries , and the market has
, shown a corresponding firmness. Nowhere
on the list have buyers been abio recently
< to flud u weak place .

CHICAC.O PHODUCK MARKET.
Ciurtno , Oct. 27. [ Special Telegram to
Tim lliu. : ] Wheat inudo another Rain to
day. The highest point touched was.18 ]
for December ami (1.10 for May. The average -
ago price was } -Jffsfc ( below the outside
range , or about Ic above yesterday's closing
quotations. May and December started off
nbout even , but throughout most of the ses
sion the price of December ranged J 'MU'e-
under May. This would seem to indicate
that the short Interest is getting out of De
cember. Commission merchants have been
making heroic efforts for three weeks to
clear their books ol December trades , and
tney have measurcably succeeded , while
scalpers ate doing very little in near deliv
eries. May opened nl $ l.lTt.l7 > f. soW up
} $ @Xc , then off to $1.17 , ' . The course of
the market , therefore , was steadily upwards
until $1.10 was reached , there being ,
of course , intermediate reactions ,
but nothing Important. From $1.10
the price worked back from
$1.1S4' } up to $1.1S # , with $ l.lbK the favorite
resting place the last hour or two. The close
for May was. however , $1.18 11.10 , re
newed strength devi'loping at the last. De
cember left off at $1.18 sellers. As on yes
terday and the day before , Hutcbinson was
the largest open buj cr , and ho was said also
to be active in St. Louis nnd other markets.
Minneapolis and Duluth wcro steady and
slightly higher. St. Louis was considerably
higher , making quite as largo n jump us Chi
cago. C.ibles were steady , but the air here
abouts was charged with bull news and bull
tips. Hutchinson has declared that wheat
will be $1.2" > next , week. Ho can put it there
if ho wants to , and ho may have pride in sco-
ng his prediction verified that wheat would
je $1.25 or above every month of the crop
ear after August. Dispatches to the effect
hat Uradstrcet's out with a statement
hat there would bo no moro wheat to expoit
'rorn Atlantic ports this crop year made a
stir early in the day. The actual value of
statistics which llop around like Hrad-
streot's do is very slight , but scalpers used
, his bit of news with some effect.
This latest conclusion of bradstrcet's
mppens to be in Uarmony with the best in
telligence of trade , but it is directly antago
nistic to previous estimates emanating from
the same source. Lieht receipts constituted
: he strongest bull card of the day , however.
The volume of trade in the pit was not ex
cessive , but It mounted up into a respectable
iggtegato. Short selling was unpopular , but
: he realizing of profits on trades wus quite
rencral. Larger "transient" lines wcro
lumped yesterday and bull leaders did not
mve to take such big bites , but they , never
theless , added materially to their lines. The
fcclinc was thatol great firmness und steadi
ness the last half hour and llnal prices were
nearly at the top. The bearb are doing little.
I'hoy feel that prices are too high , but they
lave abiding respect for the power of the
bulls , ami fear of the scarcity of speculative
grades. May wheat closed nearly 5c a bushel
higher than a week ago , and SOc per bushel
above corn for the same mouth.
There was a decidedly easier feeling in the
jorn market at the opening of business ,
jrought about by some selling by leading
operators added to large receipts nnd only
moderate shipments , first quotations were :
S'ovombertl o and May HSXe , which was a
decline on near futures of i c since yester
day , while May opened at the same price it
closed on the previous day. The export de
mand was good , thirteen loads being reported
taken to-day at iMew York , and Liverpool ad
vices quoted a good demand as existing
.here. Trading was light and the weak feei
ng at the beginning was added to by a
farther decline , occasioned on a promise of
Monday's receipts figuring out 7(50 ( car loads.
Ueyond the foregoing there was no special
'eatures. The result of the day's business
was a loss on the November future of } { @ % c ,
on December of * ( c , and May lost 3 < c , closing
it USJ c. The resting price of November wus
@ 41e , and of December 30 > c.
Jats shared the general quietude , with little
tlo doing on the regular market outside of
May , which was in the moderate favor ,
around 29J c. The day's receipts and the
estimates for next Monday wore fairly liberal
and with the absence of outside speculative
orders , business was confined to room trad
ers. The week closes with little interest in
any futures of the current year , and no ap
parent demand to cover shorts. A few cars
of oats in store sold at 24J c , or about previ
ous prices , with sales of cash oats chiefly by
sample.
The provision trade closed the week in a
rather slow manner. Hutchinson bought
some pork , lard nnd sbort ribs for Janu
ary to-day , but aside from his operations
the market was featureless Operators
acted as if they wcro a little undecided and
preferred to await developments In the way
of hog receipts , the movement of cash pro
duct , and the action of packers before branch
ing out. Still there was some recovery from
yesterday's depression , nnd nt the close pork
for the different deliveries this side of May
showed an advance of lOis , January lard of
/c , and January short ribs of 7 > jC. May
pork rested 5c higher , but October short ribs
were 5o lower. Lard , except for January ,
closed unchanged to2) ) ceasier.
CHICAGO MVE STOCK.
CHICAGO , Oct. 27. [ Special Telegram to TUB
JEE.I CVTTI.E Uusincss was slow , moro on
account of lack ot stock than any other fac
tor , as there was hardly flvo hundred head
on the direct market , as the great bulk of ar
rivals were Texans , nearly all of which be
longed to Swift , Armour and Morris , coming
direct from western points. So it will bo
seen thnt there wcro no inducements to buy
ers to get out , even If they had orders , ns
thcro wns nothing on the market they
wanted. The sales of natives consisted
largely of odds and ends of what was left
last night , and so far as prices are concerned
thcro was little or no change as compared
with yesterday , and the general market
closed steady at the decline previously
noted. Excepting the spurt on Tues
day the market has been profoundly
weak from opening to finish , but escaped
n ith an aggregate decline of 20 ® J5c in com
mon and medium grades and of 10@15c in
peed to choice , such as are classed as extra.
There was scarcely a sufficient number to
establish prices , but the fact that there was
one sale at $0.50 would indicate that there
has been no Important change in the selling
value of that class. Cows and bulls and all
descriptions of can tiers and butchers'
stock is 15@25c cheaper than last

The Uaninnd for Money.
CHICAGO , Oct. 27. [ Special Telegram to
Tnc Bii.l : : The monetary situation has un
dergone llttle.Jif any , change since our last
weekly review. Money has met n steady ,
but not urgent demand and the makcis of de
sirable paper and those who wanted advances
on grain , provisions and other convertable
collaterals , were readily supplied. Occa
sional loans were made on call to gilt-edged
borrowers , who wanted Inrgo sums nt 5(35' ( . ,
per cent. In most cases , however , 0 per cent
was the lowest figure named , and the 1:1 cat
bulk of transactions were made at 0 per cent
on call and 7ci3 ( per cent on time loans. A
fair percentage of the time paper taken was
sent in by country banks , who wanted it re-
discounted. Grain dealers ut other points
asked for an average line of advances , and
the demand for assistance from such parties
promises to materially increase in the near
future , ns corn dealers in this and western
states have already commenced cribbing the
new crop , with a view of holding
until spring. Speculative trading in
wheat also promises to keep prices above the
legitimate shipping limit , hcnco the bulk of
the wheat marketed after this date , as well
a majority of thnt on hand at accumulating
points , is likely to bo carried through to
spring. But , while n good demand for money
is promised during the next six or seven
moi.ths , and interest rates are likely to nt-
crage higher than the current figures of today -
day , there are few if any Indications of nn
uncomfortable stringency. In fact , the vol
ume of coin and currency in the country is
ample to do ull the business likely to do-
vclope and at the same time keep rates for
loans within u healthy limit. Shipments of
money to the wheat sections wcro fair. New
York exchange has been less freely offered
than during the preceding week and rates
have ruled a trifle stronger , with sales be
tween bankers at 50@00c discount per $1,000.

pers sixty days documentary sterling

bills on the same time. The Jobbing trade in
dry goods and miscellaneous lines of mer
chandise , although btrictly continca to filling
small orders received by mail , wus quite
equal to anticipations. Prices were well
maintained tor nearly nil articles , and sugars
and coffees closed higher.
The Now York stock market oxhibitcd a
fair degree of activity during the past week ,
but the great bulk of trading was credited to
Wall street operators. Outside speculators
are timid about taking hold , and foreign
operators inclined to the selling side of the
market. Prices for lending stocks were
rather cas and on the whole range exhibited
u slight reduction. The market was con
trolled to a great extent by "room traders , "
and changes were made on slight and unlm
poitant inllucnces. The fact that freight
rates have been restored was regarded as a
strengthening feature , but the reported earn
ings of the leading railroads were smaller
than was generally anticipated , and this had
a depressing ciTecti There appears to bo lit
tie doubt but that thcro will be plenty of
freight td move dining the winter month * ,
especially thronghout the west. "Coal roads '
are doing n good Imslncs-t , nnd trunk lines
also show nn Increased freight movement.
Aggregate sale1 * on the New York stock ex
change for the week were 1.VU.V > 5 shares.
Considerable Interest was inunKcMed In
the lending grain and provision markets dur
ing the past week , nnd there wiis a moderate
inoreai'o In the volume of business , especially
in the Hjieeulalivo branch of trade. The
feeling , however , was somewhat unsettled ,
nnd nrlces llnetimted considerahlj , though
within compiiratlvelj narrow ranges. Preference
ferenco was given to the moic deferred de
liveries , nnd operators are e\cuine up their
near deliveries. The receipts of grain at all
leading western markets have been
well maintained , wheat possibly show
ing a slight decrease , while shipments worn
moderately free from lake ports especially of
corn and onts , Purclnisi" * have been made
with moderate freedom from eastern mar
kets , but the export trade has diminished
considerably , corn being about the only
cereal now culled for in any quantity. The
weather has been rather unfavorable for full
work on farms , and has to somu extent in
