OIIICAOO , Sept. 8. The Activity In Uio
corn pit todny would hnvo created the Im
pression that there was n big market , but at
no time wns there a broad market on which
much corn coultl bo sold , except at a dis
count or bought except at u premium. The
opening wns very strong. The Kansas au
thorities made a statement that the condi
tion hud fallen off 10 ix > ! nts during August
lc the best corn section of the state. This
was a pointer to what other states with
oven less rain might show. The govern
ment report is duo next Monday at the
latest , and on the theory that this may bo
very bullish , the trade bid prices up very
quickly. Liverpool was Jj'd up on spot corn.
Yesterday's shipments wcro oO'J.OOO bu. ami
helped to offset the big receipts. With
drawals wcro 'JSi.OOO bu. There wns heavy
privilege trading lust night and I/wan &
Co. anil others intitlo a rush at buying early ,
presumably to inako the calls pood. On the
ndvuuco Schwartz put out n further short line
nml ho now , it Is said , stands to lose on pos-
albly 1.000,000 bu. The 'receipts continue
very heavy , much to the surprise of tlio
bulls. The receipts reached 70U cars , and
the estimates for Saturday are still larger
nt 7Tfi curs. The market opened with Jf@lc
advance , but soon afterward worked down
19 Jfc , rallied later Jffejfc , ruled unsettled on
rain tlii'C'itcning In the west , and at the

Wheat was rather quiet. The market at
the opening was about K higher than yes
terday's closing , advanced c or so more ,
then beraino weaker and prices declined
? < f@Ke. advanced < fe. fluctuated fmniontly
within % c range , then advanced H'c > or to
top figures , eased off , and the close was about
% @Mu higher than yesterday. The
llrmncss was attributed partially to
the strength in corn , though the strong
Knglish cables , in the face of lower
American markets , had n favorable im
pression on the market. The Kansas state
bureau , which estimated the crop at 19,000-
000 bu. , against an estimate of 21,000.000 bu.
based on the government percentages of last
month , and a 70,000.000 bu. crop of last year
had some effect , as did also the fact that
New Voric canceled some more bank cert !
flcates.
Oats opened J.f@ } c higher , advanced }
% c more ana closed at about the top. There
was another uninteresting , dull day added
to the long list recorded , In the provision
market. What little business was done was
con lined to ribs , which closed at an advance
of Ttjfc for September , l c for October and
unchanged for January.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
130 cars ; corn , 775 cars ; oats , 290 cant ; hogs ,
15.000 head.

Tlio effects of the Improvement In the sllua-
Ion are making themselves evident In almost
everydopnrtinontof banking , and the clear
ances are showing largo Increases over those
reported any time last month. Currency Is
gaining In volume , nml mint banks are Rotting
n little of It. As a result sonio capital which
ii3 been brought back Into circulation Is bo-
UK distributed through Investments and now
mslncsienterprise * . Clearinghouse receipts
are steadily Increasing. The clearances of yes-
lot-day show nn Increase over those on the same
lay lastweekof morn Hum JIOO.OOO. People
who withdraw their dunoslts from the snvlmrs
i.ink.1 In July and August , hnvo regained their
confidence In the stability ( ) ' these Instltu-
ttoiiH nnd nro putting their savings on deposit
wheio thnycan derive Interest. The Indica
tions are that thin month will bo 11 good one for
speculators. Industrial , railway nnd mcrcun-
tllu Blocks are all selling at bedrock prices ,
owing to the closi'ticss of money , and these
stocks are bound to Increase In value as times
; row butter and money sets more plentiful ,
In recognition of Omaha's solidity , finan
cially , among eastern men It Is reported that
two large manufacturing concerns have been
Induced to locate bore , nnd they will be In full
operation within sixty Hays. As nil the de
tails hnvo not boon completed , the particulars
inimot bo given publicity nl present.
Commercial agencies uRfeo that the Im
provement In business circles began on the 1st
ot September and bus been steadily gaining
forcn since then. They note that the money
nmrkflts throughout thu country are more
healthy , failures are loss numerous , rosuniu-
t Ions Increasing and there Is nn Increase ) in the
volume of business ns shown In distribution.
Mote travelers nro belngsent out from western
centers nnd there Is Increased activity In
Homo manufacturing Industries both ut west
ern and eastern points. At other cities a hope
ful view Is taken of fall trade and there Is u
distinct revival of confidence. Tlmro Is a
stronirer tone to the market for some staples ,
notably wlicnt , cotton and pork. Toxllloand
Iron Industries show a larger proportion of
shutdowns than of resumptions , but there Is
n more I'hccrful tone In Iron and steel mar
kets. There Is more buying in cotton goods ,
though the market is still narrow. In rubber
goods there Is bolter demand. There Is con
siderable relief with regard to money , and at
other cltloii banks are becoming more liberal
In the question ot cash payments. Imports In
Auguu. decreased 30 per cent , and exports In
creased 3 per cent. The Improvement In feel
ing reported from all parts of the country Is
iiulto remarkable and will piosentlybo ro-
llcctcd In bettor demand for products , thus
stimulating Industries. Confidence has ex
panded very considerably In the last two
wrnks.
The produce markets were rather qulot yes
terday , but pork , lard and ribs are still ad
vancing , fork lias advanced GOc during tbo

NuwYoiiK.Sept. 8. Tlio depression which
ruled on the Stock exclungu yesterday was
rellectcd this morning nt the opening by the
heaviness in the dealings , whiuh wan felt
throughout the entire list with ono excep
tion , Now York & Now Knglaud , in which n
strong buying movement was developed on
the strength of a report that the company
was about to galu an entrance into New
York City.
Chicago Gas , which led the downward
movement , was unfavorably affected by the
announcement of the authorization of an
issue of 510,000,000 of bonds by the People's
Gaslight and Coke company. The pressure
to sell the stocK of this company wan 0o 0o
great at the opening that sales wcro made
in the ring at & 'J and 53 simultaneously ,
and 1,200 shares were sold before the quota
tions could bo regularly recorded , ld ld
within the llrst ton minutes the price had
dropped to 60V , a decline of/per ! ) cent
from last nlglit's closing , The break ttu
this stock hod an effect to weaken the other
Industrials ami thu railway list sympa
thized to no small extent , lint while sotno
of the bears wcro trying to lower prices , another -
other section was endeavoring to cover iit
thu lowest quotations rulim ; , and during the
morning there wore temporary rallies which
led up to a decidedly strong marke. lu the
nftcriicou. The chungo from weakness to
strength was gradual and was largely owing
to a very general bo'.ief that the natural re
action from an extraordinary bull market
was but a precursor of a still further ad
vance. lid
The situation was materially strengthened
by reports that the bank statement to bo is
sued tomorrow would bo most favorable and
would show n largo increase lu cash , a good
gain In reserve , which would give the ban its
once more n surplus Instead of a deficiency.
Reports that the cash receipts bVf
the banks from out of town
exceeded the shipments tended , too , to add
to the feeling of confidence in the stability
of thu money market and was a factor on
the bull side of tlio securities market. The
lower range of values brought into play lieu
good many orders to buy at certain stated
ilgtircs and tbo bull element entered into the
market again with vigor , the result being
that before noon prices began to mount with
oven greater rapidity thau they had pre
viously descended. en
Chicago Gas , after thu Hurry of the morn
ing , lluctuatod upon much narrower quota
tions , but gained steadily und at - o'clock
had advanced to a point 1 per cent above
the opening , subsequently selling up U per >
cent higher , closing at a reaction of > | per >
cent , making a gain on the day of ii per
cent. General Electric fell ell 1 per cent ,
rose 4U and closed 2 % per cent higher than
yesterday. Sugar was remarkably well
hold. Th ? other itoclu nUlch made the
greatest advances In the day's business

The Test says : As the reports como In of
the not earnings of the railways for July and
the gross earnings for August n pretty clear
Idea mny bo obtained of the proportion in
which thidlffcrcnt sections of the country
have suffered from the roeent trade paraly
sis. Tlio returns show clearly that tbo
worst of the trouble was experienced in the
districts lylne between the Missouri river
nnd the llocky mountains. The granger
country was the next heaviest sufferer , the
southern interior states the ncxt\vhilo east
ern trafllc generally makes on the whole n
very gratifying comparison. The sectional
distribution oC bank failures alone , ot which
the necessary consequence was a general
check to trade , has 1ml to the same con
clusions. The recently computed table of
bank exchanges durimr August showed the
decrease from last year to bo UO per cent In
the eastern nnd middle stairs , : )3 ) In the
northwest In the southwest ami 47 In the
fur west. Tbo news of the revival of busi
ness in thcso sections is of peculiar Interest.

TAX ASSESSMENTS.
Itciluctlon of Levies Under the Present
Counclliniinlc Flmincu Cominlttco.
Somewhere within the laws governing
cities of the metropolitan class is a provision
that in October the city council shall sit as
a board of equalization for llvo days for the
purpose of equalizing the valuations aud as-
scssmonts for the annual general levy of
taxes. The councils nave complied with
this requirement each year and did so lust
year.
An observer of the proceedings of the
present council , from the time D. H.
Wheeler has been chairman of the commit
tee on finance , might naturally Mnfor that
the fathers wcro weekly sitting as a board
to approve of the equalizations suggested by
that gentleman. Not in the history of previ
ous councils has there bcou such a wholesale
cancellation aud reduction of levies , and
there seems to bo uo Indication that It is to
end soon. The cancellations nnd reductions
include assessments on both real und per
sonal property , and the abrogate is grow
ing to such proportions that it threatens to
bankrupt the general fund of the city.
Slnco the 1st day of January the council
has either canceled or reduced assessment
valuations upon both real and personal prop
erty to the amount of nearly $100,000. Trie
figures ut hand show that such is the case ,
and that the amount will fall but a very few
dollars short of that sum. This represents
in taxes over $4,000 , upon a 44-mill levy. A
majority of the taxes canceled or valuations
reduced are for this year's assessment ,
although somodato back to ISS'J.
Included in the list is the Driving Park
association , the valuation of which was
$0,745.20 , the tax levy amounting to $ iri3. 0 ;
a reduction of the valuation of the
Standard Oil company from 20-
175 to $10,1175 ; United States Wind
Engino.nnd Pump company from $12.8'20 to
$0OlX ) ; Carpenter Paper company for IS'JU '
from $10.5IH ) to SO.fiOO ; and for IS'JS from
$10,475 to § 5,475 ; Omaha Tent nnd .Awning
company from ft.19d to ? 1,1U2 ; Uyron Heed
company from $20,000 to fii.100 ; Kqtiitnblo
Trust company cancellation of 8U.,000 ;
American Hand-Sowed Shoo company from
$10,000 to $3,000 , and a number of other in
stances , the amounts being .smaller.
The complaints regarding taxes como before -
fore the council und are referred to the com-
nntteo on finance , of which Wheeler Is
chairman. [ lo investigates the comuhtiiits
and makes his reports to the council , ami a
resolution signed by that gcntlomuu generally -
ally accompanies the sumo. There is never
nny debate over a reduction or cancellation
of taxes , ami what the chairman of the
ilnanco committee says goes without quos-
tion.
tion.Somo
Some of the councllinon have hud tholr
eyes opened to the fact that as the council sits
each year as a board of equalization , previ
ous to the time that the lev/is made , that
then and there is the time for all complaints
to bo entered , und that they are growing
weary of several such grievances borne acted
upon at regular sessions of the council.
City Hull
The fact that the city has upon Its ordi
nance books ono aimed at u luting the smoke
nuisance has caused all of the makers of
consumers to appear on the ground and In
vestigate the probability of disposing of
some of their inventions. Today a gentleman
from Chicago , who is the Inventor of water
gas furnaces , is In town. Ho claims to huvo
solved the question of how lo consume the
smoke nnd gases , and wants to provide the
city hall boilers with one of his machines.
Health Commissioner Souiora Is reported

recovery iiro now entertained.

MIDDAY BLAZE 3.
Fires that DumuRod u Second Hand H tare
. und u IMvullIni ; .
A gasoline stove and a parlor match was
the causn of a lira in Philip Nathan's second
hand store , 505 South Thirteenth street.
Vcsterday a hired hand was cleaning up
some stoves in the oasomeut and was using
gasoline. Unfortunately ho mopped on n
parlor match which had been dropped on the
lloor , and a good sized bluzo was
the result. By the time the
lire "department had arrived the flames
streamed up through the iron grating in the
sidewalk nnd hud ignited the awning , which
burned rapidly. The heat of the burning
awnlug caused one of thu plate glass win.
dews to break. The loss on the stock was
light , about $100 , while the loss to the build-
in ? , including the glut's and the awning , will
amount to 1-1,200 tit least. Onlcor Cox

MINNEAPOLIS , Sept. 8. The Northwestern
Miller says : The Hour output last week was
187,415 barrels , apatnst 11)7,075 ) barrels the
week before , and 180,150 barrels for tno cor
responding time In 1803. The output this
week will probably touch the 200,000 barrel
mark. Under the stimulus of higher wheat
there has oeen an appreciable Improvement
lu the demand for Jlour and millers arc
strongly hopeful of doing a better business
from tliis on. Buyers feel that prices are at
bedrock and are more inclined to take hold.
Last week probably as imioh Hour was sold
as was ground. Wednesday and Thursday's
prices were marked up and this at 0111:0
checked trade. Yesterday nnd today some
parties reported brisk buying again.
Foreigners usually bid too low to promote
trading. Ixv > freight rates , both on land
and ocer.n , have boon helping the millers out
considerably , though the increasing cost of
cash wheat is now largely swallowing up
this advantage. The direct export ; ship
ments by the mills last week were 71W3 !
barrels , agaiu t W,505 barrels the preceding
week.

County Commissioner Williams has re
turned from the country where ho has
been for several days , looking after road and
bridfe'o matters. Mr. Williams status that
harvest is in full blast on the largo seed
" "farius along the I'latto and the IClluiorn
rivers , and that the crop is the heaviest over
known. Hundreds of men are being given
employment , but still there Is a shortage of
help , notwithstanding the fact thai tlio work
Is easy and good wages are paid.
Mr. Willianib stall's that this year a con-
siUerablo amount of the harvesting Is done
by machinery , but that still there is work
for more men than can bo secured. 1 lie machine -
chino for harvesting cucumber seeds is tlio
latest device tb.it has neon invented and put
in operation. Heretofore the cucumbers
have been seoijed by hand , but this year the
flrms operating the seed fiirms have put in
some machines , any one of which will do the
work of a do w men. They operate upon
tiio same principle as a corn sholler. tlio cu

between a sot of knives and crushers , after
which the pulp is carried off on an endless
apron , with the seeds fulling into a barrel
