The V'nlnino of TrndB In Snino l.lnp
Almost Up to I.nt Yenr's Ilecnnl.
Two weeks ago the assertion that business
In a jobbing way was improving in Omaha
was mot In many quarters with a quiet smllo
of Incredulity or n simple shrug of the shoul
ders that meant ns much or moro than
words. It was true , however , lhat nn Im
provement In the business slluatlon was
being fell at that lime In some lines nnd by
some houses. II would have been unusual If
every line of business and every house had
felt the change for the "bolter all at ono
tlmo. Changes In business conditions coma
on gradually ns n rule , but when once
Btarlcd Ihoy sometimes spread rapidly , and
that has been Iho case In iho present re-
rival of business.
While two wcoks ago only n low lines of
business were showing any matcrl.il 1m-
provcmcnl , iho change lor the bettor has
Hpruad until this week there are very few
jobbers who do not report n decided change
Tor the boiler. The few Jobbers who do not
as yet sco any real Improvement are handling
lines of goods thai are not really in season
nt this tlmo of the yoar.
The lumber business , which has been very
quiet during the past sixty days , showed
some Improvement last. week. The retail
dealers out through the slate nro placing
their orders more freely and jobbers nro
predicting n , good Irado roni now on for the
balance of the year. In Oiiiahu there Is
a little moro Inlkof building as the money
situation Is casing up nnd tliero are more
people around gulling figures on bills of
lumber. However the season Is so far ad
vanced Unit Iho amount ot building ihls fall
must of necessity'bo limited and no great
amount of trade of a local character Is an-
llclpatcd.
Thu boot und shoo business Is a line that
has shown m irked improvement during the
past week or two. Three weeks ago a
prominent Jobber , in response to a question
as to iho condition of Irado in bools and
shoes , remarked ; "I do not. mind telling
you the exact stale of business , but I do not
wish to 1)6' quoted , ns my customers would
think lhat 1 was losing all my Irado'and
Hint something was wrong with me ; tlio
fact Is there is no business and I do not sco
any prospect of any immediate Improve
ment. " Yeslordny Iho
name parly re
marked that his business for Iho past week
wns fully up to last year , and Hint ho be
lieved the present mouth would bo as good
as' ' September a year ago. Collections in
this line are reported as good. lie ports
from the CMS tern points of manufacture in
dicate thai iho factories ure starting up
again and lhat thu tendency of iho market
is toward stronger prices.
The hardware business is showing some
Improvement , ihough dealers In tlijs line do
not look for their heaviest trade until Octo
ber. At the present lime Iho wualhcr is
against them. Slocks of hardware all over
tlio country are light and when the season
for an active demand does arrive it is going
lo bo hard work lo Hll all Iho orders for
goods that nro likely lo bo scnl In. There
has probably never been a lime when stocks
in the hands of all classes of dealers , from
Iho smallest counlry retailer to the largest
jobber and manufacturer , were ns light ns
they are al Iho present time , prices are'
very low. bul so far Iho demand has nol
been sulllclenlly uetivo to cause any im
provement , but it does not seem hardly
possible thai llicro can bo any general re-
yivtil of Inulo over Iho counlry without an
advance In prices.
/he demand for carpets in a wholesale
way Is not very heavy.ns this Is really lee
curly to oxpt'ct much Irado. However , early
orders nro commencing to como in and thu
prospect is good for a largo trade next
month.
The Jobbers of dry goods are experiencing
n mosl decided revival of trade afler a very
dull summer. Thu houses are all doing a
good business and report thu prospects as
favoring a ste.idy increase. The traveling
men are all out on the road and are meeting
wllh very good success , in addillon lo which
there Is a largo house trade. Orders that
were cancelled llilrly days ago nro being reinstated -
instated every day. Omaha Jobbers In their
treatment of customers during the hard
times have made many friends and they are
now commencing to reap tlio reward.
In the clothing business tliero has been a
lllllo mure demand for goods since tlio iirst
of the month.
The grocery business , which 1ms been very
fair all thu time in spite of the dull limes ,
is picking up very malorially , and most job
bing houses'huvo about all thu business that
they can attend to comfortably. In the
grocery market Ihero has ocoii some notc-
worlhy changes. Coffees have scored a de
cided advance , and slocks in Ihe counlry
are said'to uo light , with light cargoes on
the way. The long coucuumnco of the
troubles at Rio Janeiro would have a tonj
dcncy to still further advance prucs
Sugurs are very stiff , rlco is up } to 1 cent
and chei'so is about 1 cent hlgtiur. Canned
, goods are llrm , and on abmo kinds there is
nh advance. Syrups nro lilghor und glucose
lias scored a decided advance.
Hunk (
The bank clearings for the past week go
to prove the assertion that business is rap
idly Improving In Omnhu. Very few busi
ness men lm\o claimed thai their business
tlnrlni : thu past six days bus been as
good as a year niio , but if the clear
ings are to bu depended upon as indicating
the volume of tr.ulo the past week has not
been much behind tlio corresponding week
of last yonr. The clearings show a decrease
of only 7.5 for the week.

During thu llrst eight months of lii'J ; ! tliero
1ms been an increase in thu national bank
clearings at Omahii amounting lo SM.S.'V
KM , This gain has been niailo In splto of
the Hinnll clearings during the past few
weeks , and , HR business is commencing to
lilrlt up. there is every reason for believing
that by the end uf the year the g.iln will bu
much larger than at the nruseni tlmo. Neither
< ither western city can show such a record ,
Kansas City and St. Joseph nro slightly
nhciul of hist year , but all the other Im

According to ( ho roporU received from
different parts of the country there nro In-
dlcallous thai manufacturers were unduly
alarmed by thu money stringency , Some of
them may have used tlio strlnueney asuu
oxcusu for lowering wages and reducing
stocks. In sumo sections there have been
complaints From buildcra that ihey could !
not gel the structural iron Dial they re
quired on account of the closing down of tlio
iron nnd steel mills , A sheri tlmo ago 10a
western jobbing house was notilled by it

I'oulo ship no more cartels of nails on account
of the number of factories ihul Imii closed.
Some cities Imvo been sulTcrlnir from a sugar
fumlno , duo partly to the fact that the
jobbers wtre afraid u > order us much
ulirad , as usual nnd to the fact that iho
refineries wuw closed down for a llmo. In
the case of snirar tlio domaml hns kept right

AS UN SKKS IT.
Trade In Omaha Hnvlvlnc nnd Merchant *
Oonxrnll ] ' Hopchll.
Mr. W. IT. Kobcrson , manager of the
Omaha ofllco of U. O. Dun & Co , reviewing
local Irado from the merctxnlllo ngcncy
slandpolnt , aays :
"It will bo observed that the clearings
show a marked improvement In Omaha.
This is parity duo to the reopening of the
American National bank and partly to im
proved trade. The largo volume of business
nndcd to Omaha clearings by the resump
tion of the only national bank that over
closed Its door * In the city shows hotter
than anything also lhat confidence Is re-
lurnlnc.
"Another Incident in the same line of con
clusion was brought to my nltonllon by Iho
paying loiter of ono of Iho slrongcst financial
insllluUons In Omaha. In paying mo some
currency I noted a strong smell of camphor
aboul a bunch ot bills laken out of his money
drawer. Upon Inquiry I was Informed that
this was no uncommon Incldcnl of lalo , and
It was explained thai Ihls motiov hf d boon
secreted aboul somebody's residence and
camphor wns used lo keep away moths and
crickets.
"Nevertheless deposits are not largely in
creased , cllhcrnt Individual banks or in the
aggregate. The fact that bank accounts have
grown moro active. however , ( Is regarded as
a favorable condition.
' Sentiment all over the city Is setting in
very strongly on the right side. Men in
business look back now and wonder how
they pulled throuch ll'o ' last nluuty days ,
but no longer look ahead and wonder how
they are lo make ends meet for Iho next
few months. Already the fall trade has
set in. During iho week a good
many country merchants have been
laying In stoclc. Ono house sold $4,500
worth of goods on Iho only legal holiday of
iho last len days , and as the head of the
house remarked , 'Wo have our faces cleaned
now nnd the dust wiped off. If wo can keep
this up wo will save our coat tails , too.1
Traveling men are now out doing tholr best
to drum up irade , and orders are coming In
quite satisfactorily.
'In groceries nnd' hardware trade con-
Unites very good. Grocers comlihiiu some
what because orders are so largely for
staples in which profits are slight. Ono
house has shipped out forty-six carloads of
sugar since August BO , representing a value
of ? 'JO,000. '
"Speaking of sugar recalls the fact that
over 4f > 00UOO pounds of sugar , valued at
$ iW,000 , have been received in this market
within thirty days. Grocers report soft
grades out of market with no offerings from
refiners. In spite of these conditions prices
have not varied a great deal.
' Retail trade has oeen qullo fair for the
week , though buyers sllll respond more
cheerfully lo advorlisomentsof special sales
than to regular dealings.
"There is some Inquiry for small homes ,
but almost nothing doing otherwise In real
estalo.
"IJulldlng Is moro active than at any time
during the summer , and a good force is busy
on public work. Tlio mayor and city council
have provided a fund of $10,000 lo bo used
upon Iho public slreols , and if It were a
lllllo longer until election , people would
give them great praise for Ihls effort lo help
unemployed. They deserve Iho credit any
how. "

N. J. .Houston of Lucerne , Colo. , writes
Tun BEE that the potato crop of'Greoloy ' will
fall short of last year's crop by at least 11n
percent , instead of there being an Iiicycaso
of 1- per cunt , as sonio Pave estimated. Ho
claims lhat the grasshoppers destroyed 1,200
acres , and that the dry weather did consid
erable damage.
C. Kirschbraun of the Klrschbrauu-Has-
keil 1'roduco company , who suent several .
weeks in California , reports that ouslnoss
there Is not In the very best shape Imagi I-
nable. The price of fruit hns been so low In
eastern markets that a good many of the
shipments have notjiotlcd the growers any
thing to spoalc of. The canning factories
cannot operate for lack of funds and thou
sands of bushels of fruil are rolling in tliu
orchards. The wool men will nol advance
money enough lo pay for shearing Iho shooi ) ,
and iho grain men are not doing any butter
on wlieat.
The Wisconsin cranberry growers are out

CIIICAOO , Sept. 10. A squeeze for the
shorts was the result today of the dry
wealher nnd heavy oxporls. The domain'
sprang up all at once. Offerings were liphl
and an advance of l o was easily cslabT
lishcd , bul U did nol all hold. Two-thirds
ot It stuck , however , la bolng nddod to last
night's closing prices.
Corn was depressed by liberal offerings
from longs and lost } { o of Its former
value.
Provisions wore Irregular but averaged
higher.
Wheat exhibited n good deal ol feverish-
ness. The loading bull factor was Iho enor
mous oxporls of wheat nnd Hour for Iho
week , which verq reported at G.ilSO.OOO
bu. against 4,000,000 bu. a week ago
and D.noO.OOO bu. the snmo week last
yoar. The dry weather in iho wlnlor wheal
boll continues nnd seeding Is still delayed.
Shorts quickly got excited , but the failure
of cables lo respond and tlu heavy realizing
on the advance caused n decline.
Corn wns slrong and higher early In sym-
palhy wllh Iho llrmncss In wheal , but the
selling was enormously on the advance ami
when ll was known ilint 1,000 car wore ox-
peeled 1 Monday Iho feeling' becamu very
weak nnd prices wont off Ji'o. The closing
wns } c from the bottom.
Oats were slow ut the start.and tlio inar-

Lard was In some demand for the reason ,
it i was said , lhat the dry weather was cur
tailing t thu production of butler nnd tlio
cheaper article was therefore substituted.
The support which packers gave to ribs at
the start wns withdrawn later , and they
look iho opposllo course by selling rather
freely. The coverninoul's cstlmalu lhat

From Iho opening unU iho iubllcalioti of

extremely light nnd lifeless trading. Nor
was there any animation on the exchange to
give moro than a spasmodic and un-
snstnined life to tho' prices wlieti the

moro favorable iliuu was oxpeulcd , Bending
Ibis surplus rosurvo up beyond iho $10,000-

a pleasant surprise to Uiostreot , which had
scltlod down lo Iho bullof thai a slight

Changes In the cattle market the p.tst
week huro been few nnil not of vital Impor
tance. Uocolpts have boon liberal and fully
two thirds of the offerings have boon direct
from the western and southern ranges. As
thcso latter Imvo boon largely feeders
tlio actual supply of ucof cattle
has not boon unusually largo for
this season of thn yoar. Spoculatlvo
shippers have simply not been in It , n very
unusual circumstance , considering the liberal
supplies. The fact Is the domaiul from local
slaughterers has been uctlvo enough to i b-
serb all suitable offoriugs , both natives and
westerns , at prices so close to these of Chicago
cage that the speculator Is out ot a job. An
instance of this fad occurred early in the
week when a test shipment of the "D. T. "
Colorado-Texas cattle was split up , some
golnif to Chicago , some to Kansas City and
some to South Omaha. At Chicago the cattle
tlo brought fci.tiO , nt South Omulm" . $ ! . & > and
at Kansas City fcJ.UO. Twonty-Hvo cents
bolter than Kansas City anil within 5 cents
of Chicago ought to satisfy any reasonable
shipper that this Is thu place for western
cattlo. It also shows why shippers are not
operating just at present on this market.
1'imUiren ot Yuituritny' * Trading.
The scarcity of good native corned cattle
has strengthened values for thee grades ,
while on account of the liberal supplies of
xvcstcrn and southern cattle values luvo
tended in the other direction. The trade
today furnishes a case in point. Of the entire -
tire receipts there wore not to exceed a
dozen loads of rmtlvo beeves on sale. The
dressed beef men wanted them and paid
stoaily to strong prices for the desirable
grades. Fair to very good 1,000 to 1'Jotl-lb.
steers sold at from $3.70 to $4r > r > , while u
bunch of choice 1,400-lb. beeves lopped the
market , bringing 1.70. Buyers \voro some
what indifferent when it came to the range
cattlo. Good stuff was all right , a big
string of 1,300-lb. Wyoming cattle selling
readily for & 1.C5. Fenders paid more
than killers 1'or the medium fleshed
steers , sales ranging from $2.75 to fJUiTi. On
Texas cattle the market was slow and prices
ruled a shade easier at from $1,1)0 ) to $2.0. ! !
The supply was practically out of llrst hands
at the close.
Tlio cow market has been dull and lower
all week. Offerings ot butchers' and din
ners' stuff have been suQlcicntly liberal to
enable buyers to pay their own prices. To
day , however , the restricted supply put a
little more life and strength into the trade
and the movement was free throughout.
Sales included common to prime cows and
hcifiu-s at from $1.25 to $2.75 , the bulk of the
decent stock going at around $1.1)0 ) to $2.10.
Good to choice veal calves sold nt fully
steady prices from $ : ) to $4.25 , with common
largo stock and yearlings dull and un
changed at from $ lf > 0 to ? U. Bulls , oxen and
stags at from $1.40 to SCJ.CO wore just about
steady.
The movement of feeders the past week
has been the largest of the season. Over
5,000 hi-ad of feodi'jg cattle went to the
country , and 'it It was not for the dry and
burned up condition of the pastures double
thai number could easily have found pur
chasers. Country buyers no longer com
plain of inability to secure money , and the
only thing lacking now is a httlo moro rain
to put the pastures in shape. Naturally ,
prices have firmed up considerable , and
suitable grades are selling from lOc to lf > c
bettor than a week ago. The feeling is very
strong. Good to choice feeders are quotable
at from $3 to $3.25 ; fair to good at from $2.75
to &i , with common and inferior stuff at
around $2 and 2.50.
