THE CONDITION OF TRADE ,
An Increased Demand for Currency from
Country Banks.
S
BUSINESS VERY PAIR FOR THE SEASON.

* * The lending feature In local nnancl.it cir
cles Is the Increased demand for currency
from country batiks with which to move the
crops. This demand will probably keep up
until corn Is ready lor market , and then the
calls for nionoy will rapidly Increase.
As the season advances and the prospects
for an exceedingly largo corn crop continue ,
thu trade horizon appears to brighten.
\Vbtle It will bo some time before
the money from the fall cropi will
be placed In circulation , Its inllucnco
Is already felt. The people are confident of
greatly Improved conditions later In tlio fall
ami nr'u already discounting them. Every
week shows an Improvement In the fooling.
During the middle of Iho summer ttio retail
trade was buying Irom hand to mouth , but
ns the .season has advanced they have gained
In courage and are now moro willing to an
ticipate their wants und assume some obliga
tions.
l.OCAI , JOIIIICIIS
generally report a verv fair trade and every
thing In their territory In n most satisfactory
condition. Thu movement ol goods as yet is
_ T-joL very heavy , but it is fully up to tlio
* * average for this season ,
' ' In the grocery line there Iras been an ad
vance of U-llic on sugar which Omaha Job
bers are still selling at cost. There is likely
to bo n big demmid for sugar for the next
thirty days and It Is a question If the market
will bo any lower , as It Is in the control of a
few roflniTs , who can put prices wtyero they
please. ColToo has declined H'c per pound
during the past wcol < and the prospects are
for a still further drop In prices. Other
lines of goods do not present any special fea
tures worthy of mention. Of the grocery
trade in Now York the Bulletin says : It In
n somewhat barren field for crisp and Inter
esting Information on the wholesale market
for staple groceries. Huycrs , as before so
frequently advised , are almost entirely free
from speculative Inclination in the
majority of goods , und hence deals nro
conducted In n moro or less slow and
methodical manner , and free from excite
ment and ( lurry. It Is , however , the old .story
of the tortoise and the hare , nnd the quint ,
Btcady movement of goods into consumption
is calculated upon to exhaust a good average
quantity and maintain healthy relations be
tween buyers nnd sellers. The general first
hand assortment now within roach , is proba
bly quite as liberal ns ordinary at this season ,
In some Instances rather fuller , but it is In
good bands , and with the primal points
sending only information of a supporting
fftiiirnctor , tlio chances are apparently
against much , if any lower prices
at least. Evidences from depen
dent points bring a renewal of evi
dences that consuming wants will make an
overage. Moro or loss prominent operators
from the west , recently in the city , report n
much better distributive trade than they had
calculated upon up to date , with every pros
pect of further and moro rapid improvement ,
basing claims upon the generally prosperous
condition of the country. It is claimed that
, lMt year the farmers were behind in financial
matters , with only fair products to help them
out , but have gradually worked into good
shape , and now with excellent crops promis
ing good average return they may fully clear
themselves and bavo something to spare.
This , placed iu conjunction with tlio univer
sal cheapness of groceries , seems to Insure an
excellent full distribution on all natural out
lets and possibly some lifting of present
values
The local dry goods jobbers malco a very
cheerful report of the condition of trndo in
their lino. Said ono of them speaking on the
outlook In the country. ' 'It would do nny
business man good to sco the -letters which
wo receive from country customers and note
the change in their tone since a month ago.
Men who were as blue as could bo last spring
write us loiters now brim full of confi
dence. "
Prom the same source as mentioned above.
It is learned that In Now York the prevailing
conditions of the market at first hands dur
ing the week under review differed in few
respects from what have recently been re
ported. The attendance of buyers hns boon
moderate and spot transactions devoid of
spirit , buyers plodding along from
day to day talcing care of 1m-
inedlato requirements only In the loading
tnplo lines. The demand which came for
ward through the malls nnd by wlro kept up
well. The Jobbing trader was very active
ere , there being a good general attendance
of near-by retailers and others from moro
distant points , but the city trade was not
particularly in evidence. The reports which
came to haud from western points nro all of
n most hopeful character. Current business
there Is nutlvo. and an unusually heavy full
trade is generally counted upon. The effects
of this will bo moro stronely evident hero
Inter on. At present It suffices to keep Buy-
'ers busv reordering fjrom week to week , arid
ns they feel their position more assured their
orders are likely to expand in keeping. The
nbaoneo of southern buying of any material
extent has still to bo reckoned with , there not
yet being nny evidence of matters improving
much In that connection. Agents naturally
feel more hopeful under the undoubted ovl-
ilenco of good business in the wostanU north
west , but they are still viewing the market ,
in domestics certainly , through the medium
ot the stocks they are Individually carrying.
These stocks vary considerably , owing to the
fact that for some tlmo past buyers Imvo con
fined their attention within pretty well do-
lined limits of loading brands , and the good
position which some of these have undoubt
edly reached lias been at tha expense of less
favored lines. Business in fall prints is
marked by something of the same character
in the duplicating trade mmcoming forward.
Novelties , such ns nro noted below , which
have taken popular fancy , nro in excellent
shape as n rule , and yet in the general run of
styles there Is no particular snap noticeable.
Print cloths at the clone of the week were
fractionally lower and weak at the decline.
Omaha hardware men report the wholesale
trade as a llttlo quiet Just now , but about on
an average for the mouth. There bavo been
no Important changes in prices , but when the
demand sots In a llttlo later some advance is
anticipated , as values are now very low.
In New York business is said to bo moving
along much the .samo ns usual. Orders coma
In from travelers , from customers ordering
by mail ana from some in personal attend
ance , but no unusual invoices nro made up
'
'nTut there is the old refusal to anticipate the
future , though the latter plan Is not sug
gested to many customers owing to back
wardness in settlements. The supply hero
Is well shaped ut ) for any ordinary draft ,
cither as to quantity or assortment , and no
moro than previous rates quoted , whllo It is
pretty certain that many small shading * nro
frequently made to secure desirable orders.
Nulls bavo been quiet and nominally un
changed , So far ns the regular trade may
want stocks they do not hesitate lo put In
orders promptly , but the wants uro small and
uncertain , nnd afford no real satisfaction.
COU.NTHV I'llMIUCB.
While the fluctuations have not been largo
there have boon fomo Important changes in
values. Eggs which sold earlier in the
week largely at lil'fo weakened and were
only quotauio nt l''QiKlfo. }
The receipts of butter were light nun the
market In the host grades strong. Strictly
choice Oalry butter soils readily at ll@IOo !
out the lower grades of such stock as have to
bo tewontoil brings only O' ' c , Arrivals
have mot witu very prompt sa'le.
In poultry old fowls oven those that were
real deslrahlo in quality have boon very slow
and shipper * ought not to anticipate ) ever
W.DO for fancy stock , Spring chickens have
tlio preference nnd they uro crowding out the
old fowls. The best springs sell up to 1,00 ,
ud some fancy stock has occasionally
brought moro money. The small sizes do
not soil to advantage und have to bo disposed
of as low as I3.1W. 1'ralrio chlcheus will

When the St. Bernard saw tlio re-

After ttio llrst half hour , however , imilnly on

appeared to support the market
there was a steady drop from ( H'i

were generally free sellers for September
against prospective consignments. The In
quiry for c.irs and letters fioni the Interior ,
together with the line prospects for the grow

heavy receipts In the near future. On the do-
cllno there was good buying by shorts , win )
bad good profits. Tlio.'u was a gradual rally
early , then otf to C.'lic , and ut 12 o'clock was

and the belief Is growing that the September
receipts will bo moro than they can take care

NEW VOIIK , Aug. 22. The stock market today
again showed some strengtli. and In the face
of unfavorable advices from the corn belt
and unfavorable bank , statement and persist
ent hammering by the advocates of lower
prices held Its own and dually cloied wltn a
majority ot the stocks fractionally higher.
The market opened under the pressure to sell
for the foreign account , but first prices were
Irregularly changed , from tlio last night H tr
ot es , with no material dllTurciiccs In any one
stock. Notwithstanding the great pressure
from the traders and the selling of foielgn
houses , prices developed strength , and with
Northern 1'acllle preferred and Union I'aellle
leading fractional -rains wure made all along
the line of railroad shares , thu Improvement
In the two stocks mentioned btilng ' 4 per cent.
Corduge .showed a guln , showed some of its
peculiarhtren.th and tosol percent. News
of frost In the corn belt , however , gave the
traders and sold out hulls their opportunity
to make a demonstration against values , and
while no special activity was developed prices
sllchtly yielded and before the close nearly
all of the early Improvement had been neu-
trall/.ed. Tlio bank statement was also a fac
tor In the late trading , helping the downward
movement bv the loss In cash of over $4,000-
000 and the decrease In the reserve of
J3.500.000. Only In the Industrials , how
ever , was there any weakness dis
played and Sugar was dropped 2 ? {
percent from Its best prices , whllo cordage
lost Its early gain. Burlington , as was to bo
expected , was the weakest of the shares and
fell away 1 percent from the best tlcurcs. The
market closed dull lint heavy generally at
about the opening prices.
Uallioad bonds were fairly actlvo and failed
to maintain thu .strong tone which lias marked
the dealings of Into , and whllo the tlual
changes aio goner.illy Insignificant a few
losses are shown from the last previous sales.
Government bonds have been dull and
steady.
State bonds have been dull and steady.

big crop of winter and siirliu. The export de

and tile cash demand Is Kood here. Values In
the near future depend a peed deal on the

NK\V VOHK. Aug. 17. ICeiiuott , Hopkins &
Co. to H. A. McWhortor : The stock market
today has hecn comparatively Inactive , deal
ings helng small and hail It not been for com
paratively larger trading In two or three
stocks the total for the d'iy wonlc1 have been
very small. The talk which has Ooen current
about the ! siurnr riMlnerlcs getting control of
the Sprccklcs rollnery In I'hlladelphia has
made the cert ideates of the trust prominent
in dealings , but the eourso of their prices
today shows that some ono hns thought
the chauce a desirable ono to roal-
l/c. Union 1'aellle and Atchlson were
went strong In the dist hour , but thu rest or
the market was not affected by the advance
In price , ami subsequently even these stocks
weakened and with them the whole list eased
oil. A good do. vl of unnleasnnt talk is current
about reduced rates both for frolgnt and pas
senger business In the west , which will bavo
moro or IO-.B effect In prnvontlng would-be
buyers from coming Into Iho market. Brad-
street's and the Chronicle report a general
Improvement In the tr.ido throughout the
country , and Philadelphia advices are that
the coal trade Is looking better , not that It Is
at all booming , but Is less depressing. The
bank statement made a worse showing than
expected. The market closed dull and In
active at about the lowest prices.
On K'Ano , Aug. 22. Kennett , Hopkins k Co.
to S. A. McWhortor : Hears made a drlvo at
the market early because of lower cables , but
as usual later covered at higher prices. Local
operators are generally working on thu short ,
side and eastern traders are not so bullish as
last week. It Is felt that a moro substantial
reaction Is duo and the short Intoiest .seems
to be Increasing. The situation , however ,
presents few weak features. Tlio potato
blight abroad promises to bo an Important
factor. The weather continues unfavorable
for harvesting In England and Franco and
this Is likely to Increase European
requirements. Mr. Hoar. the Knglish
statistician , has Increase. I the estimate
of the 'ielloit by Il'.i.i 00,000. Kxports from At
lantic ports for the past week are so much
larger than for thu previous week that a ma-
torlal decrease In the next visible supply re
port Is deemed probable. The wheat now
coming to market Is much uciorer In quality
than that rouulvcd a mouth ago and the mmn-
tliy below expectations. The demand for
cash wheat at I'/iu premium over September
shows no signs of ahatlnIt looks like a bull
market. Corn exhibited conspicuous weak
ness. Increasing receipts and perfect weather
seem to bo tiring out the holders. The out
look for running a deal In .September
grows less Haltering and yet It may not Im
abandoned. There Is some probability of frost
In thu cool wave , and that would glvo the market -
kot another upward turn , but In the absunco
of suchdrawbauks lower prlcos seem prob-
a'ole. Oats held their own. hut are likely to
synipathl/o moro or less with corn. Provis
ions have been rather heavy but for no ap
parent reason. The long slue on hi oaks looks
safest.
ClllOAdO. Aug. 22. Sohwartz , Dupco .t Mo-
Cormlck to K. C. tiwarU & Co. : In wheat
wo have had a regular half hoi day markut
with a scarcity of outsldo business and tradIng -
Ing childly umoiig local t-calpors , who are not
Inclined to take much risk cither way or to
uarry homo with them over Minday any eon
slderablodoiU. Cables were conllU'tliig , Liv
erpool was quoted weak with wo ithor Improv
ing , and both spot and futuiea from Id lo I'id '
lower. Berlin , which showed such oxultemunt
yesterday wat today quoted 2 marks lower ,
Tim early feeling In our market was wuak ,
but strengthened on thu continuation of the
news that I'm la was excited iind higher In the
piohlbltlon of the export of wheat from Hns-
sla If It contained over per cent of ryt' .
The balance of the news consisted chiefly of
MIIIIU uxport sales from .New Vork ami very
heavy clearances from all ports. There was
some llttlo firmness In corn for Into
fuliiics on the reports of cold weather
In some sections dangerous. y near thu fro.sl
line. The trade wan l.ght and our local
scalpers again pursued thu policy of leaving
the Septumhur option sovitrely alone. The
speculative fueling Inullned to weakness , but
any break In the market was prevented by thu
fact that tlieru Is a good demand for all good
lots for foreign .shipment , exporters claiming
that our present market for ear lots Is on
a fiquaro and prolltablo uxport liasls ,
Tlio provision market , although not active ,
was weak with Indications of free realizing
by oiitsldu longs. The packers were again In

The St. iloltn Typolmr.
The day of the type setting machine
has come and the final decade of the
nineteenth century will see its wide
spread use. Neither the application of
steam , nor the perfection of the web
printing press mix been followed by
such u revolution in the printing and
newspaper field us will surely tuko
nlnco oh the general adoption of this
labor saving invention. White the im-
turo ami extent of this revolution may
be left to speculation , there remains no
doubt that many changes of method in
the conduct of printing , nnd
moro especially in the news
paper business , must necessarily
take pltico. Hccognl/.lni ; this as a
fact , the enterprising publisher will nc-
copt the now order of ulfairs and turn ns
best ho can to bin ml vantage such oppor
tunities for economy and profit as Hliull
result therefrom.
A moment's thought will convince anyone
ono that in Iho contest among compet
ing machines for the survival of the
fittest , the decision will depend upon the
answer to Iho question : "Which is the
speediest ? " for it la the increased speed
which will enable the machine to sun-
plant the labor of the hand , and , liko-
wisn , it is the speed which will deter
mine the superiorly of the successful
machine.
Tills matter of speed of the machine de
pends upon the capability of the machine
to respond to thetleinands made upon it ,
perfectly and with absolute certainty at
all times , as well an upon the mental
and physical speed limits attainable by
the operator.
The iction of assembling the inutrlcs
is positive and practically instantan
eous ; they all travel the same distance ,
guided to their position by the same
Kind of mechanism and the same amount
of force , and only In the order of re-
leaning. The justification , the pro
ducing of the line of typo , and Iho dis
tribution of the matrices after use , are
done automatically , and require only
ono and one-half seconds in the opera
tion. An ingenious device will permit ,
in case the wrong matrix is released , a ,
correction to bo made before completing
the line.
As the line of typo is formed from cold
metal , by compression , there is no ex
pense for gas , or other means for molt
ing metals. The typo-liar , is made up of
two parts ; ono , a permanent base or
blank , to bo used ever and ever
and is in theory part of the
machine ; the other part being n
slight strip of typo metal , in
the nature of a supply , which is mount
ed upon the edge ot the blank simul
taneously with the operation of impres
sing the characters upon it. Tills typo
metal strip is removed from the bar after
use and may bo romeltod and rolormod
for further use at a very slight expense ,
and without appreciable loss of inottil.
When the matrices are released they
are pushed into position without touch
ing other parts of the machine except
by blight friction ; und as 'the operation
of forming the bar ! H in olToct , as the ac
tion of a die , the lifo of u matrix is fur
longer than in the case where molten
metal is used. Proof of this is seen in
the coining of money , bearing in mind
that typo inotul LH far softer than silver
or gold. The permanent portion of the
typo-bur is subject to no moro than the
slight wotir in their use , either on the
nrinting press or in the steam chest , dur
ing the operation of stereotyping. The
nbsonco of all heat about the machine
avoids all danger of molecular adhesion
of two metals brought together in a
heated condition whereby the line of
typo would bo made defective. Likewise
there is anubsonce of all evils attendant
upon continual heating and chilling of
the matrices and the parts surrounding
the impression chamber.
The machines uro built of Iho host
material to bo obtained for the sovorul
parts , and uro especially reinforced at
points bearing the greatest strains.
They are absolutely guaranteed us to
workmanship. Moreover the compres
sion process insures with absolute cer
tainty that each and every typo bar
shall bo perfect , as there can be no air
bubbles , blisters , chilled metal or de
fect of impression ; thus giving the ma
chine a high olllcioncy and eliminating
all dead work which would result from
ever or under heated metal , or the pres
ence of air , or other deleterious
.substance in tlio same. All the opera
tions of the machine being positive
direct and automatic , upon the skill nnd
intelligence of the operator depend the
speed und the correctness of the results.
The machine is operated on a key
board , on the prit'.ciplo of the Reming
ton typewriters.
The adoption of the point system of
typos allies the typo bodies to this gen
erally accented improvement.
The spacing Is done on an entirely now
principle which opposes to the adjacent
matrices two sides which are hold as
immovable as the matrices themselves ,
and between which the movable part of
the spacer in pushed , thereby avoiding
any displacement of the uligninont or of
the impression Htirfuco of the bur.
