Although the gonor.il rim of reports re
ceived from Jobbers does not show nny very
radical clmiiRO In tlio trade situation In this
market , still it has not boon entirely devoid
of Interesting features. In aoino lines of
I business , notablyi hardware , thcro has been
an Improvement In tbo demand for goods ,
whllo tbo tradoin dry poods , boots and
hoes , rubber goods mid similar lines has
been very satisfactory. Without doubt the
i colder wcathur has done much to stimulate
demand nnd with n contliiuiincoof good , solid
winter -weather the jobbers are generally
anticipating n very fair movement of'soason-
nblo goods for the balance of the year. A
weather market , however , Is not always to
bo depended upon In this latitude , ns It hap
pens too often for the good of business that
the weather is mild until nftor the llrst of
the year.
The Jobbers of holiday goods have had n
very peed week , as country merchants are
all making some preparation for the holidays
by putting iti something to nttr.ict the atten
tion of purchasers. From some quarters
como reports that the pcoplo nro going to
buy very sparingly of luxuries and conflno
tbomsnlvcs more to the necessities than
usual , but BO far It is not easy to note any
ohiingo In this respect. Where there has
boin n falling off In the , volume of business
the shrinkage has been pretty general on nil
Classes ol goods. '
While certain lines have shown Improve
ment others have remained nboUt steady ,
without Important chungo ono way or tbo
other. Thus business In the jobbing branch
of tlio grocery trade was generally referred
to aa well up to the average , but as not
showing any improvement over the previous
Thcro is ver.v Httlo indication In the trade ,
cither on the part of retailers or Jobbers ,
toward anticipating wants. Orders , gener
ally speaking , are for small lots of goods , but
ibo frequency of these orders makes up In n
largo degree for the loss in size. The fcol-
ing appears to bo gaining ground that busi
ness has settled down for the winter , nnd
tluit there will bo a good , steady demand for
Roods , but that there will bo no rush or
boom. It promises to bo a demand based al-
niost'cntlrely upon the consuming ability of
the country. , , , '
Collections ) while not so very good , are
fair for tbo season nnd about up to the uver-
ngo , There has not been much complaint re
garding collodions for the past few weeks ,
nnd it is more than likely that the territory
'tributary ' to Omaha is in better slmvio in
thlt rcspoct than some parts of the country.
The bank clearings at Omaha have shown
n decided improvement during the past six
days , tbo total being the largest in a good
tiuinv weeks. On Monday the clearings ox-
.cocd'cd $1,000,000 for the Ilrsc time since the
month of July. While u coed deal of the
gain was ascribed to the Union Pacific pay
checks , which came in in very largo num
bers the llrst of tlio week , the f.iot that a
gain was miulo shows a HeJilthy condition of
business. As compared with last .year thcro
was ndecrease of 10 per cent. While this
doorcase is larger than the friends of the
city Would like to see it , it is small
to. . what other cities have suffered.
Thus tbo decrease in the clearings for the
past week'ns compared with n year ago was
W per cent for Denver ; Kansas City , B4 per
cent ; Milwaukee , 41 percent : Minneapolis.
! )7'per ) cent ; ' St. Paul , 33 per coutj Sioux
City , 4" per cent , nnd Lincoln 25 per cent.
The dccroaso for the whole country was 23.0
There. is no doubt but what business is
being injured by tho'timldlty of that class
of men. through whom the larger operations
arc usually carried on. They incline to the
view that after the severe experiences of
the 'summer ' business cannot bo expected
to immediately recover the ground
that was lost , but that * the ro-
vlval must bo gradual. Some even
go so far as to dcclaro that the uncertainty
of tariff and financial legislation will bo a
disturbing factor sufficient to delay the com
plete restoration of business until spring.
IIow far this may prove to bo true remains
to bo seen , but at tbo present time thcro is
no question but what business is gradually
recovering , and it is reasonable to anticipate
a. continuation of this process unless some
unforeseen event should intervene to change
the course of ovcnts in the business world.

I A prominent commission flrm in Boston

Wheat Made Another Low Prlco Record for
Decomhor Yesterday ,
CORN AND OATS WERE QUITE WEAK
Wheat Opened with n More rnvornblo Out

CtitCioo , Nov. 19. Wheat made yet another -
other low prlco record for December today ,
breaking to 69Jfo on weak cables , small expert -
port clearances , heavy soiling by local
traders and the expectation that the world's
vislblo supply will bo heavily Increased
Monday.
Corn nnd oats were weak nnd ouch lost
J o from yesterday's value , Provisions
stood up well and. closed without much
chango.
Wheat began the day with a moro favor
able outlook , opening * { o above yesterday's
closo. The feeling that there would neces
sarily bo n reaction from yesterday's low llg
urcs helped the ilrst traders , und lighter
northwestern receipts contributed to the linn-
ness. Fluctuations for nn hour were conllncd
to it range of ' c. But the exports from
both coasts showed another decrease and
the dccllno began. Weak , cables also ap
peared as n bearish factor and Harry Lester -
tor , with other operators , sold heavily.
With nil this against it , the prtco went down
until December had broken the 'record und
rallied but Jo at the close. December at
GO e , sold off n8'c , rallied ' /c , lostc , sold
off } { c and rallied to the close nt GOe.
Corn opened at yesterday's llgurcs nnd
ruled llrm for n time. Through a local
trader some oao in St. Louli bought some
short corn in nnd tha prlco advanced
slightly. With receipts larger that ) tbo
estimates the advance was moro than lost ,
but on small estimates for Monday there
was a sllghtroactlon. Later Wheeler uu-
pcarcd as a heavy seller and thisf with the
weakness In wheat , sent the prlco to J o
worse than it had opened. May opened ut
40l e , climbed i c , lost } . c , rallied } c , lost
, % c and rallied } { c to the close at IWJjc.
O.its were fairly nctlvo , but lower. The
heaviness of yesterday's market together
with the sympathy with the weak feeling in
wheat and corn were the principal causes of
the dccllno. May opened We higher at 30 c ,
lost i/c , sold off jtfc. rallied ifc to the close
at HOjtfc.
Provisions were flrmor on a bbttpr dispo
sition to buy. Opcninir higher they'declined
on corn's slump to close at about last night's
llgurcs. As compared with last night Janu
ary pork is 2 } c lower , January lard 2) c
higher nnd January ribs 7 b lower.

Speculation lu Securities for Two Hour *
Ye&terdiiy Wns THIIIO.
NnwYonK , Nor. 18. The speculation on
the Stock exchange during the two hours of
business today was tame or without notable
feature. At the opening there was au ad
vance of from % to J1/ per cent , the latter In
Louisville & Nashville , which was strong
on n report that the directors were
negotiating : " -for the acquisition of other
southern railway property. A slight
pressure to sell in the early dealings
changed the tone of the dealings , nud
brought about : v reaction of a fraction in the
general list" , .and oflj.C pcr.cent in Sugar ,
upon which the boars made a sharp attack.
This wus"followcd by a recovery ot from }
to Jf per .cent , the market continuing llrm
until 11 o'clock , except for Lake Shore ,
which dropped 1 } percontand Sugar , which
receded % per cent additional.
In the early part of the last hour a eood
purchasing movement was developed , under
the influence of which Sugar rose 1 % per
cent , Chicago Gas \ } { per cent , Lake Shore 1
per cent and the rest of the active list from
if ( to % per cout , and the market closed
strong nt or near the Best llgtiros of the day.
Compared with the final sales of yesterday
the changes nro very wllght , being a dccllno
of 1 % Der cent in Delaware , Lackawanna &
Western ana 1 per cent In Sugar preferred
and Michigan Central nnd nn advance of 1) )
per cent in Louisville & Nashville and 1 per
cent in Northwest preferred , Some very
material changes result from tbo transac
tions of the week , the great majority of the
atocics traded in having depreciated in valuo.
3.'ho railway and miscellaneous bond inar-
Iict'was unusually active today and the deal
ings wore characterized by a strong tone.
A brisk inquiry lias been developed during
the week for tho- best classes of railway
bonds nnd largo blocks hnvo been taken
out of the street by investors. The issues
which recorded the most notable ad
vances in today's market are ; Michi
gan Central 4s , 0 per cent : Michi
gan Central 5) of UKll , 5 per cent ;
iako Shore division 7s , 5 per cent ;
Pacific Kailroad of Missouri 2s , 2 ; Manhat
tan 4s consols , 1 } ; Atchison 4s , 1J , and
Pennsylvania , 4J s , 1 per cent. General Elcc-
trio 'debenture ' Os declined 1 , nnd t t.
Joaoph & Grand Island Is , 2yf per cont.
In view of the tichtness of money the
bond market is attracting moro attention
than usual and the indications nro that tbo
coming week will see active dealings m this
class of securities.
The Post says : The New York surplus
baiik'rcsorve , according to today's state
ment , has reached the highest figure of rec
ord. Follovri-ig the May panic of 1SS1 the
reservetouched , $154,724,100 , its maximum for
for the year. Todays h'ugo increase brings
the present total up to $05,470,475. The com
parison is all the moro noteworthy in
that so long a period elapsed after the acute
panic period of nlue years ago before the
highest notch was readied. The shrinkage-
in the bank reserve , however , which cumo
in the latter months bf 1683 , was the sign of
reviving ( activity in the commercial nnd
financial markets. This summer's panic
was confessedly far moro sovcro than that
of 1884 , yet there has thus far been much
less than one-fourth the period of stagna
tion which was required before the last dec-
ado's complete trade revival. It has boon
very truly said that if the trades of two or
three occasional operators were eliminated
from this market , fully three-fourths , oven ,
of the present restricted business would dis
appear. But what may bo safely concluded
from the day's transaction is that the efforts
of these active speculators to .forca down
prices heavily have failed. Outside in
vestors , as last week's market proved , nro
not prepared to buy , uut this week's market
has proved no less effectively that they nro

Thcro has boon a good dual of monotony
about the cattle market the past wcoir.
Supplies bavo boon liberal and of the same
general characteristics from il.ty to day.
Kcally desirable beef steers continue- hard
to get , nnd , as the demand for them has been
very nctlvo , they always sold early in the
day at good strong prices.
The market , however , has been surfeited
with common stock. Fine weather has en
abled western cattlemen to clean up tholr
marketable cattle in * good shape nnd for
that reason n largo proportion of the offer
ings have been direct from the ratigo. Then
the inexperienced or thriftless foedori are
beginning to send In their warmed up , short
feu and half fat stock. Those cattle
look all right In tbo country after they
bavo been fed n few weeks , nut they always
show up bad in the yards hero alongside of
good cattlp , and killers say they make the
poorest kind ot beef. As a. result prices
bavo DOOII very unsatisfactory on the under ?
grades , although prices are hardly quotably
lower than n week ago. Another clrcum-
stance that makes trade dull and prices
weak for common cattle Just now is that tlio
markets nro now full of poultry nnd game.
which , with oysters , lanes the place of beef
to n great extent.
Whllo receipts have been liberal enough
here , thcro has been n big ftiKlncr off in sup
plies at Chicago , and the killers there have
boon compelled to draw on western markets
for supplies. So long as this stuto of affairs
keeps up prices are not liable to go down
very much. It is a remarkable but gratify
ing circumstance that Chicago is thus com
pelled to help build up rival western mar
kets In order to maintain her own su
premacy ,
Sliowcd No > ow fonlnrci.
Thd market today presented no now
features. Receipts were fairly liberal and
the offerings included n fair showing of very
desirable beef steers , both natives mid west
erns. Good stuff was in uctlvo demand and
Btroni ; . Some very choice cornfod
native bcoves brought $ Ti.lCi and $5.05 ,
while good to choice westerns brought
from $3.SO to $1.30. The under grades of both
native nnd range cattle sold indifferently ,
but at fully steady figures and tbo close
found practically everything out of llrst
bunds.
The cow market was nctlvo and firmer on
the better grades , for which the de
mand was verv urgent , both from local
und eastern killers , but the common and
cannbiK grades worn slow sale and rather
weak. "Good to choice cows and heifers sold
readily affront & ! .3"i up to J3.25 , while com
mon to very fair stuff went tit irom Sl.fiO to
83.23. Calves wore steady at from 81.50 to
So for common largo to choice veal stock and
rough stock was not quotably changed , com
mon to verv good bulls , oxen and stags sell
ing freely at from $1.75 to $ J.Gr .
Feeders Close Flat.
The feeder market started out all right
this week , but flattened out very badlv
toward the closo. The demand fell off and
yard tra'dors sought to hold up the market
for a few davs by buying up the fresh re
ceipts at good figures. The demand failed
to improve , however , and the close of the
week round tlio pens lull 01 siocic ana iccu-
ing cattle , which the owners would bo glad
to got rid of at prices all of : ? 0c to 50c lower
than a week ago. The dccllno has been
heaviest on the light btockcrs that were
soiling so high ton days ngo , but all grades
bavo shared in the general demoralization.
Tho/celing is very weak , but present low
prices will In all probability attract buyers
next week and the t > ado pick up somewhat.
Good to choice feeders arc quoted nt from
J.2.83 . to $3.30 , fair to good at f'2.50 to S'J.80 ,
with inferior to fair grades at * J to S'J.-IU.

llrcnk In Hug Price * ,
The week has witnessed a big brealc In
hog values. Receipts bavo not been ox.
coptionally heavy nor are prospects invor-
able for nuy Immediate Increase. H looks
as if packers had become tired of the load
they were carrying , nnd in the absence of
any speculative or oonsumptlvo demand for
the deferred futures of provisions had con-
eluded to bring hog prices down to the
basis on which provisions were .selling , re
gardless of the matter of receipts. The sit
uation Is full of perplexities , iitul the absence
of any speculative Interest is beginning to
make itself felt. The Cincinnati Prlco Cur-
rout says of the week's ' developments !
The inovemunt of hess Is i-iiturglng mod-
ointoly , but still short of coi-respondliiK time

last your. Tim total from Nmomhcr 1 Is ap
proximately 445,000 hess , compared with
023,1)00 ) nyuuriiKo. 1'rlces of hops have had
homo tendency to Ion or values , but
not to the extent which packers have
hupod for , nnd MMIIO of tliu larger win
ter cnneurns still remain out of the
market , while others are operating on a ro-
Htilcted salo. Tlin position of \ nines la not
regarded us a siif one , and unless theio Is n
decided further reduction In prices of hogs It.
Is likely that many houses accustomed to
operating In the winter season will contlimo
to wait or not open ut all. H is not so much
the fear of an o.xi'esslvo numbnrof hogs during
the winter months as tlio apprehension Mint
tlio enlargement In tliu spring and Mimmer
months will ho eipial to pioduolns piolltalilu
markets for the biirplus winter product whlctt
nuibt neecssiully bo carried fornard.
Took it ISrrntlilng ; Spoil.
After declining steadily lor n week the
market took u shot t breathing spell toduy ,
and under tha Influence of lluht receipts and
a little hotter imiuiry from shippers n'nd
speculators the decline was at least tem
porarily chocked. There were less than
11,000 hogs on sale , nud buyers nil
started out to got their droves
still lower again today. Sollora took heart ,
however , from the slightly improved condU
tious , and while prices averaged about lOo
lower than the general market Friday , they
were a shade better than on Friday's very
weak closo. The range of prices was very
narrow. A load of choice liTO-lb. butcher
hess topped the market at § 3. ! > 0 and' !
a few rough packinjj loads sold
down around 55.15. For fair to good
hcgs of nil weights It was practically ; t
$ , VJO and S.VJ5 market , the bulk of the hoes
going at those figures , as against from S3.20
to $5.33 on Frlaav nud from $3.70 to $3.75 on
last Saturday. The market closed strong ;
but Just 50o lower than it week ago , OOo
lower than a month ago and lOo lower lhaii
ono year ago.
