The first month of the fail season is hailed
vllh genuine delight by the jobbers of
Omaha , who , for the flrst tlmo in the last
lovonty days , nro nblo td sen the beginning
or the end of the financial depression which
almost caused u general stagnation In busi
ness circles ,
Wholesalers nro now putting now llfo and
energy into tholr business affairs. Rotation
nro beginning to fnol.moro confident nnd are
increasing their orders for goods. The
farmers have their early crops ready for the
market , and they can easily raise nil the
tnoiloy they need for current expenses.
Owing to the IOVT prices for almost everything -
' thing they need for the winter , the thrifty
tillers of the soil are laying In tholr supplies.
When the farmers bogln to spend money it
gives an impetus to all lines of trado.
t Bankers report an easier feeling among in
vestors , \hid collections are fair In nnd out ot
the city. The nmnngor of the clearing house
dtatcs that there is a better feeling all over
the Atato , and the signs are that there will
bo a great improvement , In the condition of
affairs this month. The clearings last
month for Omaha ranged between ? 740.57t.51 :
on August .4 , which wns the highest llizuro
for the month , nnd $ < l5iftl..G : ! on August 10 ,
which was the lowest llguro. The clearings
for the past wtiok wcro as lollows ;
Monday $078,558.57
Tuesday 013,234.25
Wcillipsclny 507,524.17
Thursday 693,095.55
Flldliy 4 670,351.77
Saturday 003,419.00
The bank clearances , as reported by Brad-
street's for the past week , show that Omaha
Is not suffering nearly us much from financial
depression as other cities of greater popula-
tior. This city shows a smaller decrease
than forty-six-of the clearing house cities ,
and re nits us thirteenth In amounts cleared ,
while it is twenty-first in matter of popu
lation. Only ten places show a smaller dc
crease than Omiihu , and only four cities
show any increase In thn United States.
Omaha Is not suffering : is much as Denver ,
Kaiisan City , St. Paul , Minneapolis , -Lincoln ,
Indianapolis , Milwaukee , Chicago or San
Francisco , and while the average decrease
us reported Is 41.1 , Omaha only shows a de-
crcaso of 22.5 per cent. These llgurcs speak
In emphatic terms for the commercial stand
ing of this city , and all classes of business is
bhowing indications of a speedy recovery
from the recent , stringency. ,
Jn order to make a comparison of the situ-
htion n prominent Jobber remarked yester
day : "Tho financial situation is llko a man
who has suffered u severe attack of fovcr.
A few days of illness requires many flays for
convalescence. This is the way of the
money markot. Wo hail : i few days of
llurrv nnd panic and now it is taking con
siderable tlmo to restore n feeling of confi
dence. But 1 belle vo now that thu pcoplo
have had time to carefully study over the
situation and are gradually regaln'ng their
former confldonco in business and financial
affairs , The month September is the
opening month for full and winter trade and
the prospects fora revival of business are , I
liollovc , as good as they were at this time
last year. From reports sent to our house
by our traveling representatives it seems
tb : t business is rapidly growing better
witlucountry merchants. All of our cus
tomers have been doing business in a very
conservative manner nnd ordering goods in
small lots.I'hoy have kept just enough
stock on hand.m supply their regular trade
nnd have been doing a cash . 'business us far
ns they possibly , could. They purchased
their goods .ou-dhort time , and as it general
thing havcilbccn prompt in paying their
obligation As nn indication of the return
ol confidence most of our customers have in-
crouscd their orders for this month from 10 ,
to 50 per cent. I think that before the 1st of
October business confidence will have boon
fully restored and that trade will resume its
normal condition. "
A reporter for Tin : Ben visited many of
the wholesale houses of this city yesterday ,
and with bui few exceptions the jobbers are
feeling greatly encouraged over tholr pros
pects for a good fall trade. Some of the job
bers will feel the effects of the stringency
probably until the llrst of the coining year ,
but thcso jobbers are handling heavy ma-
chincrynnd implements , and most of their
business Is douo in the spring. The com
plaint of thcso merehuiKs is Hint collections
are slow. Taken as n whole , auti giving
everything duo consideration. It seems from
reports received that September would bo n
lively month in most lines of business.
Jobbers In boots and shoes report n better
cash business than at this time last joar.
They nro filling a good ninny small orders
nnd make collections In thirty and sixty
days tnntt. Collections are fair. Dealers
claim to have excellent , prospects for a good
full nnd winter trade and say the signs of
' Iho times arc viry encouraging. The out
look for business Is much brighter than it
was n month ago. Traveling salesmen re
port u returning of confidence and u better
feeling anuniir country merchants.
Dealers in * codecs , teas , splcos and extracts -
tracts say that business has picked up won
derfully In the last month. They report
that Indications now- point , to u heavier
' trade this month than they had during the
same period last year. Country dealers are
commencing to buy qulto freely nnd prices
are ruling steady at current quotations.
C'offeoSiliows an Inclination to advnnco , but
other staples are Jinn and in goou demand.
Wholesalers report that thuir collections are
good on all tholr sixty-day naper. They
have not been taking any risks on poorcus.
tomcrs and tlm outlook In thcso lines is that
, they will have n hig trade. Money is loosen
ing'up among merchants and trade is re-
jwrtcd us being go.j.l nil ever the stnto.
Among Iho dealers in shelf and builders'
hardware business is not as good ns It was
hist fall , still trade has liecn remarkably
good considering the unsettled condition of
affairs. Collections nro fnlrly good .and the
piospects for a big business this fall nro said
to bo very cncoiiriiglnir. Ono do.ilor reports
that his firm did moro business during the
past week than they have done during the
proviou.vfour weeks. This same iiuulor
stated that tlielf trade for the llrst six
months of thn present year showed
a hcaltli.\ Increase over that of
last year for the sanui period. Many >
rountry merchants have boon carrying
iKMit stoi < ki until times otsod up omowhat
nd now that their stocks have run low ,
they are compelled to make largo orders for
their fall and wmtor trade. On ing to the
tilvlnucncy- jobbers have boon compelled to
hold off a good many small customers who
wanted longer than the usual time in which
to pay for their orders , Most of thcso
dealers are now buying for cash and are see
colvlng the bcnollt of the usual discounts , o80
that thu dull tlmos have 80tt
really been profita
ble to them. Trade In thcso lines has been
steady ull along , but now Increased orders
iluiw u houllhy nnlvnl In their busnoss ,
Dealers in harness , Raddles , trimmings : ,
eta , roporta slow but steady trado. Orders
nro tiinull nnd collections fair , Business is
not nearly its heavy us It was thistlmo
last year , but the prospects era good for noa
lively fall and winter trado. Prices rule
about steady as quoted , Dealers claim that
the farmers are holding onto their grain
for bettor prices anil us soon ai they hug in
to dispose of tholr produce they will begin
to liven up matters by purchasing now hur-
ness , ota. , for tholr next spring's work ,
Bukliiess Uquiot among the dealers in
wagon utoi'ks , wood and iron , and thu indl- (
. cations are that this will bo tliocondltlon'of
trade until the winter season seta in. Thuro !
is u good demand for machine uiado horseshoes -
shoes and wugon Iron , out in the other
branches of this business trade may bo
termed as being quiet. Them Is a falling off
In orders as compared with tins time last
your , but there is n steady run of small
orders , Collodions are alow , but most of
tbo Hifht order are accompanied by the
CAlll. . ,
The outlopk among dealers 'nnd makers i of
, . thirls , pants and overalls is rapidly crowing
bolter , and business is picking up at a lively
r.ito. Orders uro growing larger and moro :
frequent , and Jobbers nro led to believe
tint they will oujoy a largo trude this fall
and winter. The orders for goods for this
month shownbirgo incronsoover these of
last month , nnd encouraging reports nro
being received every day from tholr travel
ing salesmen.
The demand for furniture Is steady , and
dealers nro having B fairly active trade from
thtlr regular customers. Thcro is n firm de
mand for tftpestncs nnd upholstering ma
terial. Wholesalers nro looking forward fern
n good full business. * Collections are only
fair.
fair.Men
Men who handle millinery , ladles' ' hats ,
fc.ith.ors , plumes otc. ( sny trade Is not us
lively ns It inlqht bo. This is ono of
the kinds of business \vhlch Is very sensltlvo
during n monetary depression. People can
nnd do got along without feminine frills
when times nro ns close as they have been In
the recent past. Still dealers nro receiving n
good many small orders and a fairly tictlvo
traao Is anticipated for this month. Col
lections are poor , hut will bo much easier
before the end of the month. Merchants
are waiting for farmers to convert tholr
produce Into cash nnd then the fall activity ,
they nra lead to bollovo , will begin.
Trade In lumber , lath , shingles , llino , etc. ,
U quiet. Thcro Is not n great deal of build
ing going on this fall nnd country retailers
pro not carrying any larger stocks than they
have to in order to supply tholr regular
customers. Things have brightened up con
siderably during the past ten days and
merchants have assumed'a moro cheerful
aspect. Collections have also grown easier.
There is u marked change in Iho dry goods
business1 but It 1s for the bettor , nnd the
Jobbers nro fooling pretty good over their
prospects. The demand for notions , laces ,
ribbons , trimmings , otc. , Is strong and coun
try merchants linvo begun to order tholr
heavy stocks for tno fall nnd winter sales.
Business in thcso goods Is nicking up in line
slmponnd Ihorois n strong feeling of im
provement. During the past week the larger
houses were actively engaged in illllng out
largo orders from all ever the territory
which they cover with traveling salesmen. ,
Merchants have been very conservative In
their orders , but they nro now beginning to
buy freely. Collections nro good , and there
Is n marked change for the better over last
month. Jobbers anticipate an excellent
trade for the remainder of the year.
The heavy machinery dealers nro inclined
to complain , not so much about dull business
as they are about slow collections , having to
wait until the farmers can convert their
crops Into coin hotoro they can pay tholr
notos. Then there is not much of n demand
for saw mills , steam threshers , pumps , wind
mills and such things nt this time ot the
year. Dealers report n peed business In
both Iowa and Nebraska during the past
season.
The trade in lints and caps has boon quiet ,
but ia now improving nnd'thoro are excellent
indications for a lively fall trade. Business
Is much better than it was last month ana
orders are being rapidly increased. Collec
tions , which have been slow , nro becoming
easier , and trade prospects are very favor
able.
in the drug trade there Is a rapid increase
in the volume ot business. Kouili dealers
throughout the country have permitted their
stocks to dwindle ) down and as n consequence
an active fall trade has been begun. Prices
are firm and most of the Jobbers already
have their full complement of traveling men
In the Hold soliciting orders. Wholesale
dealers are preparing for a big business this
month nnd for the rest of the year.
Groceries , canned goods , flour , nnd other
staples are in active demand and dealers re
port that business is good. It shows a
healthy increase ever the trade of last
month , but hns been remarkably steady all
through tub .summer. Prices tire firm
and there is n good feeling among
most of the merchants. Retailers
have been purchasing Just what they
needed during the past sixty days , but
now they nro increasing their orders nnd
Jobbers tire confidently looking forward to a
splendid Increase in business before the next
thirty days roll around. Ono wholesale
merchant who was asked how business was
with him said : ' 'It is good. Collections nro
easy , the financial stringency Is letting up in
Iowa nnd Nebraska , nnd the largo crops uro
restoring confidence among our patrons.
Prospects are much brighter this month
than wo even anticipated. "
The produce nnd provision market is
steady at' the current quotations. This is
the height of the fruit senson and the gar
deners nro shipping , In grapes , apples ,
melons , otc , , in largo quantities. Eggs ana
produce are in active demand. t

Mr. W. II. Koborson , Omaha manager of
H. G. Dun it Co.'s Mercantile agency , re
turned from thu Atlantic scashoro and a few'
weeks vacation on Thursday nnd takes up
his work. In reviewing trade ho says :
"Although my trip was strictly for pleas
ure , I spent a.Driof time in Now Yonc City ,
and was gratified to learn that Omaha and
Nebraska stand so well In the commercial
circles of the metropolis. The financial men
in that great center keep n closer watch on
tno movements of western cities nnd the de
velopment of wcMorn trade than most people -
plo think. They uro well informed upon
the trade situation here , and moro
than ono man referred to the bank record of
this city. When I told them It was entirely
urobablo the American National would
shortly resume they expressed not only
gratification , but surprise , because-of , the
splendid fact that no national bank has over
failed , and none over before suspended ,
Omaha's magnificent record during these
trying times is known to nor advuntaco and
will attract capital when capital once more 1
comes out of its hiding place.
" 1 find a vastly improved condition of af
fairs in the city. Everybody wns blue and
the cloiids were very thick when I went
awnv. Now the atmosphere is actually itn
vicorating. Everybody is full of hope.
There is very little realization or fruition o.is
yet , but mon ull over the city have reached :
a point whoro. whether right or wrong , they >
bolicvo the tide has turned nnd times will
shortly bo very much bettor.
" 1 was In Hoverul banks this afternoon and
saw morapeopln nt the receiving tellers' '
windows than for weeks boforo. Ono banker
called , my attention to Iho fact in his bunk
and said there had been moro pcoplo in the
bank than at nny tlmo before In thrco
months , Ha almost shook hands with him
self in his satisfaction nl the appearance not
things.
"in wholesale circles the changed condi
tion Is ono of mind ohiolly. Thcro is no ma
terial Increase hi mail orders and traveling
inou are still loallng. The country will not
respond at ouco , oven if tha general soiul-
mentis changed from uncertainty to contl-
dencu. Nevertheless IIro
, Jobbers generally nro
counting on n heavy trade for the last three
months of the year.
' Kolail trade la rnally bettor than times
Justify , 1 was surprised to learn that the
nvorago dally sales in ono of our cash stores
which did 500,000 lust year exceeded
11,600 per day through July and August. Per
haps muro of the money taken out of banks
lias gone back into general circulation
through these largo retail stores than vein
had supposed , Another establishment in
the s.uiiu linu and n larger house did $10,000 )
moro In the past month than in August , ' K)0W.
The smaller retail dealers , especially these
v > ho do u credit business , have suffered
a good deal and are notyot out ot the woods.
"However bright womny pi n5 the picture
for the future , the fact rimams that to In-
dividual wage earners nnd men of small
means , tin ! coming winter is not welcome.
With earnings cut down nnd work scarce ,
thnro will ha much privationntnong the very
poor and enforced economy in ttio household
expenditures of these moro nearly well-to-
do. Uotnil dealers In the city will need tote
llguro closely fora good many months to
como and those who credit tholr omtomers
will llml collections by no means easy ,
"Tho Commi-rcial club haa been opened
since my departure and I was pleased with ;
the new meeting piano of business mon. It
1 * well appointed , capacious , accessible itml
well olllcered , The cafe Is Inviting and one
can meet moro business mon there in an
hour than hu would incut in a month di .
narily. iPit U not a triumphant al
shall bo greatly mistaken ,
so"Speaking of advertising Omaha , it oc-
ours to mo that it is entirely proper to say
Just at this tlmo that this city is too largo
and lee well known to nook cheap notoriety
and think it Is good advertising , Omaha i Is
not a boom city or a pralrlo with aiuythlcai
future and an ubsent present. The day
when town-lot luhomcra could build and sell
a city on paper bolter than on thu towusllo I
U gone and Omaha cannot attract either :
capital or jiooplo by painting her
good name on a circus on t
or hiring a sandwich ing
advertiser to walk through the ( treats of
e-isteru cities ringing a bell or pounding a
gong. There Is scnso nnd nonscnso in ad
vertising , nnd perhaps n.llttlo of each now
nnd then Is relished by the wisest of cities ns

KASSAS CITV , Sept. 1. The Mormon choir
of 250 members arrived hero today onrouto
to Chicago , where it will contest for honors
nt thi ; World's fair. Accompanying the
choir wcro some 200 Mormons , prominent
nmong them being the venerable Wilford
Woodruff , the fourth president of thox Mor
mon church ; George Q. Cannon and Joseph
Smith , a son of Hiram Smith , brother of Jo
seph Smith , jr. , both also presidents , Mr.
Woodruff's counselor and Bishop Hiram B.
Clnwson.
At noon the entire party made n pilgrlm-
ago to Independence , to wlicro the Mormons
were driven from Illinois early in tho'history
of the church , nnd whence , in 1SS4 , they
were driven out of Missouri into
Utah. A strong Mormon colony still
exists at Independence. When > .the
pilgrims arrived there this after
noon they were mot by 11 reception committee -
too who conducted thorn to , the famous
"Tomplo lot. " where , President Woodruff
presiding , religious exercises were hold ana
the choir sang several selections. Thu meet
ing was then adjourned to the Mormon
church across the street , wlioro- Mayor
Mercer welcomed the visitors. President
Woodruff responded and the Choir sftng sov
erul hymns and anthems. The first meeting
was held on "Touiplb lot , " because it is held
as sacred ground by Mormons , and the vis
itors wanted to honor It first.
The "Tomplo lot" has a. history. It was
purchased about 1830 by1 Bishop KdwarU
Partridge of Illinois at the command ol
Joseph Smith , and several months
later the founder of the Mormon
faith arrived wltn a , company o'f fol
lowers. This was the first settlement
of Mormons In the vicinity. The -site had
been revealed to Joseph Smith. The orig
inal tract purchased by Partridge incluoed
about slxty-threo acres , but this has been
divided and the toraplo lot is now in the
possession of the Hcdrickltp.br.incli of the
Mormon church , and has been for many
years. The Hcdrlckita faction are fol
. lowers of young Joseph Smith- and pass as
the reorganized church. Their headquarters
are in lown. The other faction are followers
of the original Joseph Smith * and constitute
the Utah church. These two factions are
now at law for the possession of the "Tom'
plo lot , " which Joseph Smith , the founder
designated in a prophecy as the sacred spo
where should bo reared the church bull
without hands , nnd from which Gabrlol'wil
blow his trumpet.
The chorus gave a concert hero this oven
ing. It will go to St. Louis tomorrow.

) ecllno In Corn Explained by the Fnet that
the Heaviest Estimates of Today's
Receipts Wery pnder th
Actual Arrivals.
CniOAcio , Sopt. 2. The Improved bnnk
stntcmcnt gave strength to ttio marKets hero
.odny. Flnunuss without activity wns the
'eaturo. Wheat gained from Xo to * e , Sop-
ictubor corn dropped ifo and May rose n
aniiill fraction. 1'rovlslolis wcro higher ,
larliculnrly for Soptombcr.
Wheat opened from t c to } { c higher and a
'urthor Improvement bf ? c was galnodlth
'air ' activity at the advancing scale. During
, lie latter pr-t of the session the fooling was
not quite vi-ongnnil prices settled from
to J e , though the market closed with
considerable steadiness. The disposition to
tratlo wns restricted by the prospective boll-
Uiiy hero Monday. Operators are calculating
on : i moderate Increase In the risible supply
Tunsduy possibly SoO.OOO bu.
The decline In corn is explained by the fact
that the heaviest estimates of today's re
ceipts wcro under the actual arrivals , which
wore 787 cars compared with 760 estimated.
Receivers report freer , deliveries from far
mers in Illinois nnd Indiana , which conflicts
with what was expected in view of the vury
bad reports of the growing crops of those
states. The cash dbmnml wns not quite up
to Its recent urgency. Prices were confined
J c range.
In oats the feature was increased offorlnga
of September by parties who have been buy-
lug of late. There was no support until after
prices had fallen Jfc for September and } o
for .May , when the buying increased and
prices rallied } { c , but the close was easy at
from o to j c down , '
Provisions gained nothing in activity from
the publication of the remarkably light
stocks hold hero. Closing prices wcro the
highest of the day. Compared with last
night , September pork is up GOc , September
lai'd 72 0 and September ribs VX0Moro
distant futures changed but little.
Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat ,
100 i-ars ; corn , 110 cars ; oats , 400 cars ; hogs ,

Anticipation at ( limit lt.ink Slntetnpnt
JMnilo Denlmcn lliioynnt.
NEW YOUK , Sopt. 0. The well founded
anticipation of n good bank statement im
parted n buoyancy to the dealings on the
Stock exchange which sent prices up all
along the lino. The mmard tendency con
tinued unchecked until some ttmo after the
statement was Issued , which fully equalled
the expectations of the speculative
fraternity. The short interest in
the market began to cover at the
opening and purchases added to these , for
the longs who saw lit to Increase their hold
ings ; forced quotations to n higher range
with a degree of rapidity that was n surprise
to conservative operators. The buying wns
practically all for the homo account , the
London purchases being trivial nnd In no
way can bo considered a lactor in the bull
movement. The moving inlluonco in the
marxnt undoubtedly was the matorlal
improvement in the financial nnd commer
cial situation , the comparatively easy
niotioy market , the gradual reawakening
of confidence la commerce nnd the belief
that the recent decline In securities had
brought nn interest into the market that
wanted to hoard for a speculative rise. This
speculative buying influenced the shorts to
bo moro cautious anil Influenced the bulls to
further purchases. Sugar led in the trans
actions , advancing Q % per cent and reacting
2J percent. St. Paul came next. In point of ac
tivity , recording a rise of 8J per cent , falling
back j-j per cent. Burlington &Qulncy in Iho
early opening rose UJ per cent , which it held
to the closo. Chicago Uas Jumped' up 5 %
per csut , the moving Influence being the an
nouncement that the scrip dividend ot \l/t
per cent would ho paid on October 1 , and
that the books would close about the middle
of the month. General Electric -with occa
sional fractional reactions , moved upward
by easy stages reaching a point 3& per cent
above lust night's closing , but losing J per
cent at the closo. Western Union on good
buying rose l } per cent , with a reaction of
only } { per cent. Wheeling preferred was
bid up 8 per cent without a
salo. Pullman Balaco nuvuucod 5 per
cent , American Cotton Oil 12 per
cent for the common and -j per cent for the
preferred , Now Jersey Central recorded nn
advance of 3 per cent , Illinois Central ty-S
per centf > ako Erie & Western preferred
8 % per , cents National Lead preferred 2 }
per cent" , Atchlson lp per cent. Hock Is
land 1 % per cent , St. Paul and Omaha and
Missouri Pacific each \ % per cent , and the
general list from % to \ per cent on they
day. Exceptions were Wabash common and
Minneapolis mid St. Louis , which declined a
fraction. In-tho late dealings a general re
action sot in , auo to the realizing of profits
by the room traders , but the market closed
firm nnd with a very healthy tone.
The Post says : Prices went up today
with a .sudden leap as has not been wit
nessed since the hugo short interest of July
was driven to cover. ' Today's advnnco , too.
was attributabloT'largely to the covering of
shorts , nnd toward the close the mar
ket seemed to reflect a genuine scare
among > the late professional sellers.
What was most noticeable , as compared
with other rcccut rallies of the Kind , was the
increased strength of the market in the last
half hour after the very favorable bank
siatcihent ' was published. Hitherto , by
quick realizing- manipulators of the rise
have turned the course of prices downward
at the closo. Today tholr sales were in
stantly absorbed by eager buy
ers , something like n stampede
to purchase stocks resulting at the
last. No doubt this disltko of shorts to
cover was partly duo to the stnto of things
in congress , where yesterday's proceedings
showed that the senate vote may possibly
come with unexpected suddenness. The
statement of the clearing house banks , however -
over , was a factor of prime Importance. The
gain of $5,170,150 in reserves has brought the
banks' total reserves to within $1,500,000 of
the legal limit. The gain of over $2,000,000
in the stock of legal tenders shows with cer
tainty the volume of repayments by interior
banks mdobTc'd to Now' York.

1'rloe * Contlnuo to Advance.
So much for the matter of receipts. In
the matter of prices there is ntnplo cause
for congratulation from the fact that values
have not only held tholr own during the
past week , but considering the very liberal
offerings there hns been a satisfactory im
provement , liut llttlo change has been
noted in cattle all week , but that change
has been in the right direction. Notwith
standing the continued apathy of speculative
shippers and exporters , the demand from
local slaughterers alotio has boon sufficiently
vigorous to absorb all desirable offer Ings-
readily and anything at all uselul
in the beef cattle line sold lOo to
lie"better nt the close than nt. the
opening of the week. Tha mime hns been
true of butchers' stock and canncrs. While
there have been fairly liberal offerings of
both westerns and Toxnns the quality has
not been such as to fairly test the market.
Prices , however , have advanced about a
dime on this class of stock and the demand
improved sharply toward the close of the
week.
The market today was rather quiet. l-ioss
than 1,500 cattle were received , and of thcso
not over 1,000 were offered for sale , as about
500 southern cattle wcro shipped direct to
slaughterers. Conditions were much the
same as they have been all week. Buyers
paid about steady prices for good dry lot
beeves , but would have advanced prices on
westerns had there been any good ones hero.
Choice : .250 to 1,550-lh beeves brought $ -1.50
and $4.75 , while 54 to 44.2.T bought most of the
fair to good corn fed cattle. Common half
fat and grassy stock sold down around $ ; t.OO
and $ y.5. The western and southern cattle
were common and moved slowly. It was
ate in the day before the pens were cleared.
The cow market was toloraoly active and
a shade llrmer. Offerings wcro limited and
the demand was rood , l iir to good fat
cows and heifers sold at from $3 to $12.50 ,
with common nnd uannlng grades at from
$1.85 totl.UO. Common largo to chuico veal
calves sold in about the usual notches from
$2.20 to $4.50. There wcro very few bulls on
sale and little demand for what few wcro
hero. At $1.75 there was no noticeable
change in the market cither ono way or the
other.
Alter a fairly active trade in stockcrs and
feeders nil week the market today lacked
both life and strength. Low prices' and
easier money conditions brought lots of
country buyers oarlv in the week , uut now
that prices nro up Ific lo 5o compared with
last week the rush to buy is not so great.
There was very little weakening in values ,
however , and $9.40 to $11.10 boucht most of
the decent stock. Good to choice feeders nro
quotable ut from $2.75 to 3.25. fair to good
at from $2.00 to $3.75 , and common stuff at
from $2 to $3.00.

Great Activity In Hoga.
The feature of the hog market the past
week has been its activity and strength in
thn face of exceptionally heavy receipts.
With nearly 40,000 hogs on sale , ns against
17,000 a year ngo , this week tha trade has
been as lively ns any one could wish and
prices have advanced a blglOucomp.ired wilt )
lasi week's strong close , This Increase In
hoi ; receipts has been general throughout
the west , the packing at all points iur the
week being about 230,000 , against Ui J.OOO last
week and 11)5,000 ) the corresponding wt-elc
last year. The decrease in the season's
packing since March 1 has boon 1,110,000 hogs
and it in this fuel , together with the light
"stocks" In packers' hands , that holds prices
up at present in spite of the increased ro-
ciipts.
bight hogs a o still comparatively scarce ,
and with a continued active demand both from
local uud eastern butchers for them , they are
selling ut a lOc to 15o premium over heavies.
The preponderance of heavy hogs nt present
Is shown by the following tuhic , giving the
average weight of the hogs by months for
the past six years :

wcro fairly liberal , but the quality did not
suit the slaughterers. There was a moder

very weak. Fnir to good natives , $2.25 to
