Whllo business men us ft class do not do-
vrtto much tlmo to politics , nn election of any
Importance Invariably causes aomohlmlninco
to business , as It takes away the minds of
the pcoplo from their dally routine of work.
This Is particularly the case \\hon the elec

s was the ease the past week.
Ordinarily an election only interferes with
business for about txvo daxs , the day of the
election nnd the day folloulr.g , when thu
result Is being announced nnd dlscupscd.
The last election hoxxeverasnn exception
to the rule as the delay In countlnc ino volet

Thus "too much election" has boon a com

The xvholcsalo trade of Omaha has moved
along In about the sumo patn as was out
lined a week ngo nnd in n general way it has
been of n very satisfactory clinractor. '
In dry goods the movement of stocks in n
Jobbing way has been fair , but u ch ingo to
cold weather would tend to give moio mmp
to thu tiado.
. In Noxv York , says the Uullotm , the amount
of business done in staple cottons since last
rovloxv shows ttiat Ino demand has improved
sotnoxvhat. This is duo to the operations of
BOIIIO largo bujcrs who have plated oulcis
on spring account , but for "arl.v ahlpincnt by
mil and lake loutes to the uost before canal
navigation Is closed. At the same time , It
Is gcnoially conceded that such tian-
incllons have not , so far. reached the nvoiaco
of Itito years , 1'or requirements nearer at
band buyers nio still operating cautiously ,
and yet a number of agents lopoit the aggre
gate trade for October ahead of the coi responding
spending month last year ; but In making
this compaiison it must not bo ovoileokcd
that n year ago business geneially xvas
struggling under n gioxxlng limincial strin
gency. Kven should opoiations during
the month Just entered upon show no
extension of the present trade In staple cot
tons , It oucht still to comp ire well \x 1th last
November , when the financial stringency
alroidy referred to severely crippled buyois"
actions. An Impiovcmcnt in the demand Is ,
however , generally looked for , although
doubts on this points nro onloitainod in some
usually xx ell informed quarters oxxlng to the
course of the market for raxv cotlon and the
effect of its continued weakness on the minds
of buyois of goods. With loxv cotton , thu
latter sco no reason to fear nn advance
In stapto products and no inducement
to anticipate their x\ mils to any inatoiialox-
Icnl. Hoio the question of stocks comes In
as an impoitnnl faclor , asvlth limited sup-
piles oven loxv-priccd cotton could not oxcr-
clso n matoilul Inlluonco over the prlco.
which must bo tcgulntcd bv the relation of
supply to item mil. The most that ran bo
said on this point is that stocks nro it regu
larly held ; that In some makes thcro Is nn
abundant supply. * In others comparative
scarcity , and xviiilo thcio Is no redundancy
in the 'aggregate , neither nio supplies as
short as might bo concluded irom the posi
tion of some leading houses. Pilces nro
generally steady , but the \xeok has not passed
without lovealiug nn easy tendency in n foxv
placos. lliidincss In fall lines has i tiled sloxv ,
with the demand for nexv soilng styles in
printed cottons , ginghams , xvovon wash fa
brics , dress goods , oti' . , \xcll sustait.cd. Col
lodions nro loportcd in good shape , and snt-
Isfacloiv accounts are leceivcd of country
trade , although It , as well as local business ,
has been interfered xvlth by the counter at
tractions of election.
Thntindoin foolxxcar for fall and winter
use has been consldciably chcciiod by the un
usually line , pleasant xvcnthor. Jobbers and
retailers mil to in their uosiro to see
a change , and in their petition to
the wcatncr clerk nioiition something
about n wet , cold , sloppy spell , ami
bint pretty stionglv that such a season
would bo n good thing for the boot mid shoo
trndo In goncial. Neither jobbers nor manu-
fnctuiers nro wonying much nboul prices ,
though they are loxv enough in all icnson.
Neither nio the latter taking advantage of
the present loxv values In leather to
purchase froclv of that commodity.
In short theio seems to bo a
scltlod conviction that pi ices of both fool-
wear and leather nro not going lower nor , on
the other hand , nro they going lo bo hlghor.
They nro both anxious nnd xvllling to see a
big trndo in boots and shoos the LOinlngycar ,
and generally beliox-o that It Is coming , but
at the sarao time , with hides nnd leather as
plentiful a * they noxv nro , this Incioasod
volume of business need not moan necessa

bers nnd manufacturers would lllto to see
\\ould bo n big trade at prices commensurate
with actual conditions.
The business In the grocery line has been
very fair and Jobbers ute not doing any com
plaining.
In Noxv Voik the complaint Is nindo that
the elections have interfered to a consider
able extent with trade. With some goods
castctn Jobbers nro fairly stocked against

t'.o income of the department u entirely
dependent upon the fees derived from the
Inspection of grain It could not bo otherwise
than that tbo department should run bohlnd
during the llrst month or txvo , and In this

and the donartmcnt xvlll have a handsome
surplus to turn into the state treasury nt the
end of each month.
A public warehouse has hcon opened nt
Lincoln , having a capacity of fiO,000 bushels
of grain , and M there Is no such warehouse
at Omnhn , the headquarters ot tha state
grain Inspection department is In danger
of being removed to Lincoln unless some
thing Is done to keep It hcio.
About the onlv way to prevent such a removal -
moval Is to open ono or more- public ware
houses in Omaha , nnd it looks noiv ns If such
u step xxould bo taken very shortly.
It M expected that the Ulnlo Board of
Transpoitation will recclvo soon , If It
has not already , an application from Omaha

Corn and o its have not Itiiutunted much , but
show a downward tendency. Receipts of coin
