Bo IOIIB ns the peneral business situation

very little of Interest to any on the subject ,

Interviews with leading jobber * bring- out
the faet Unit most Omaha houses are doing
as much business as they expected at thin
Heason , but compared with previous years
Die. total volume or sales lit small. Most
every house can point out one or two
rtays In n. week -when the orders happened
to como In n little moro freely than cus
tomary ami when the whole force w.is oc
cupied In taking care of the business In
Jwntl , but no house pretends to bo very
busy six days In the week. The feeling of
frost In tlio air lias Hlvcn a. little stimulus
to the demand lor seasonable goods , uut

LIVI3 STOCK INDUSTIIY.
L/-
- At South Omaha the situation as regards
the llvo stock and packing house Industries
Is fairly satisfactory. Slnco thn first of the
year there has been n gain In the receipts
an compared with the corresponding period
ot last year , amounting to i7,6GO hogsnnd
"
9" > ,71S sheep , but a loss of 13,111 cattle. The.
decrease In cartlo arrivals is due no doubt
In large part , to the close selling of breedIng -
Ing- cattle that followed immediately upon
thu nop failure of 1S3I , and , furthermore , to
the limited number of r.in B cattle taken
tnck Into the country last full.
The demand for all kinds of live stock
has been vciy good for some tlmo ptst , nnd
values , in consequence have boon bl h at
this point , IIH compared vvllh other markets
The very ovcellent consuming demand for
all kinds' of hog products continues , and
prices have sliovvn some disposition to ad-
vnndQ during the past vvcek. In fact , hogs
sold up to the hlgcat point touched since
the mlddlo of May. Still prlees are very
low , hogs having solil the pist neck 7r.fSr > e
? er hundred loner than a year ago. tl.sofi )
Ud lower than two years ago , nml Jl.SOfi )
350 lower than throe ye trs ago. In other
words , hogs are now selling tor less than
one-linlf what they brought In 1SJ3.
The growth of the sheep business nt
bouth Omaha has been phenomenal , as the
stock yards people had no sooner made
suitable arrangements for the handling of
sheep than they commenced coming freely.
Cattle are going out Into thn country
quite freely to be placed uoon feed and the
whole situation Is promising.
COAT * NOT LIKDI/Y TO ADVANCE.
The announcement made a few days ape
thut the railroads would restore the freight
rate on anthracite coal hns been followed
by the Information that the eastern mine
owners have decided that It would bo un-
\vl o to advance prices another notch this
month , and. It is believed In most quarters-
that the last advance of the yenr hns been
recorded. Mine owners appear to have
coma to their present decision In the belief
that past advances were about all the trade
would stand without leading to iiiniHii.il
economies. In the west there has been a
Terr general Inclination to substitute other
fuel. In not a few of the best houses In
Omnha soft coal has tnlien thp place of
hard , certain kinds of coking coal giving
good satisfaction oven In hard coal fur
naces.

CHICAGO , Oct. 10. The mnrkcts without
exception were strong today. Compared
with Thursday's closingprice - ! there li nn
ndvnncc of 3 c In wheat and * 4c In corn , 'fcc
In oats and 32Wc per bbl In pork. Several
Influence1 ? combined to help vvhen.1 , per
haps the principal one Itclnc reports of
nstcr to the Austrnllin crop. For a second
or two at the opening the majority of the
en In the wheat pit \vns Inclined to
tnko i bearish view of the situation , Hut It
was only for that length of time. Then the
_
sentiment , ' suddenly changed and for an
hour prices were frolnir neatllly upward ,
until an advance of over Ic from the open
, ing ( prlco of from ( ! 3'4c to BS c for December
ha been reached. The easy feeling at the
opening _ vvni principally caused by the
northwestern receipts. Minneapolis and
Dulutli received 1,028 cars which , although
fiS c.in leii than received on the previous
Saturday , arn only 34 cars below the mini-
ber received a vear ago. when It win fie-
know-lodged very heavy receipt * of that
tendon. , The bear1 ? were -il o somewhat en
couraged by the % lcw Hradstrect'H oppressed
of the slzo of till * ye.lr's crop , which thai
authority Is Inclined to think , will not fall
much short of r 00,000OflO bii Among the
reasons for the ad\ance which fo wuddenly
followed ! the opening weakness were the
following , : The week's clearances of wheat
, ,
and ' Hour from both coasts were again over
1,000,000 bu. Liverpool was firm at about
jesterday's ndvanco of % d and reported nn-
other cargo of wheat as being engaged for
Hdlpmcnt to Calcutta. A Sin Francisco tel
egram said a cablegram from Australia to
n reliable i house reported the wheat crop In
Australia destroyed by hot , scorching
weithor. The statement wim afterwards
reiterated on another telegram and helped
to cause the advance to C3c In the llrst
hour. Later , however , the bull feeling toned
down a good deal ; It wns rumored the vis
ible supply Mond.xv would show an Increase
of 2,500.000 bu. Cudahy was also reported to
have taken nilvnntngp of the advance to
sell a blftllne and St Louis took profits on
about 2,000,000 bu The prlco declined to
G$5ic . , but reacted again and closed steady
nt G9c , an advance of about % c.
Corn was active , strong and higher. The
local receipts were below expectations. The
export business keeps active and cables
made a. sharp advance. Shorts covered and
there WMS a good Investment demand The
strength was maintained , oven through the
soft spots of wheat and the closing was
llrmat a good substantial advance May
rpencil We higher at from Sfi'&c ' to 25Uc , ad
vanced to 27'tc and closed firm at 2r c.
Oats were film and higher , milnly In
fluenced by the action of corn. Business
for a Saturday was very active and the ag
gregate sales considerably In excess of the
average. The demand was good and the
offerings moderate , yet sufficiently meager
to bring about a firm feeling. Jlav opened
'Ac higher nt 19 Jc. advanced to 20Uc and
closed steady at 20Hc.
Provisions wore verv strong , packers were
liberal buyers and although one Jlrm sold
11000 tierces of lard the market absorbed It
and advanced while Itwas being disposed
of. After some reaction from the top prices
heavy outside buying orders were received
and were the principal cause of the bullish
snap with which the market closed. Jan-

CATTLE The receipts of cattle today
numbered 2772 head ; u > iiR-alnst 231l > yi-slei-
day and 1,013 on Saturday ot last week. It
was a Rood , big run for the last day of
the week , but In spltct of tli.it nnd the
additional fact that purchases would In
many cases have to be carried over
next week , the market as a whole was in
pretty fair condition.
Ueef steers sold In about the same notch
ns yesterday , though the feeling wui hardly
no stionK , und In some cases common kinds
may have sold a little easier. The de
mand , however , was active , and the yards
were cleared In seed season.
Cows nnd heifers also sold In nbout the
same notch as yesterday , there being no
quotable change In the market.
In the feeder division the situation wns
not aulto so favorable to the selllne Inter-
eits , Knd values generally were about lOc
lower. The weather was wet nnd cold ,
which made the cattle look their worst , and
that , together with the fact that H was
the last day of the week , helped to bring
nbout the decline. Another reason for the
break was the high prices that feeders
have commanded this week. In splto of
the bear Influences the demand was good
and the bujers all seemed to want cattle ,
all of the early arrivals changing hands In
good season.
The cattle market of the past week lias
bctn nil that any seller could nslc for. The
demand has been very brisk for all kinds
and grades , beef cattle ns well as istockera
and feeders. In fact , the demand has been
HO large , vvhllo the receipts have been only
moderate , that the market lias been grad
ually pushed upward , the trade each day
being reported strong- . This upward move
ment hai occurred in the face ofa down
ward tendency at mo-it other markets and
la safe to say that on most days of the
vvcok this has beou the hlRlicpt market In
the wuntry. Packers complain that they
are unable to secure enough fat cattle to
meet the dem ind of their trade and a good
many liave been shipped In from other
maikcts to make up the deficiency. The
great quantity of feed In the country has
created u heavy demand for feeders and nil
arrivals of cattle coming under that de
scription have sold readily and on a good
many days there have been hardly enough
satibfy nil the buyers , Representative

ow become ono of the most rabid populists

OMAHA , Oct. 10 To the Editor of The
Boo : Every day makes It more appnicnt
that to secure a solid , broad-minded , bust-
uess men's directory for the exposition It Is
absolutely Imperative that the ( lucatlon ol
ocatlon shall he divorced from the selection
of ( III outers. This becomes on impossibility
when It Is known that ono of the ( list duties
of the now directors Is to choose or'slte.
There Is n strong light being made In favor
of three different sites and n largo ntunbci
of stockholders will vote for no candidate
'or the directory not known to bo pledged to
.ho voter's choice. Uusluess iiuallllcations ,
f considered at all , are but secondary. Suck
icing the state of affairs , ajcllovv dog would
stand a better show to get on the board than
capable man not In sympathy with a ma-
ority of the stockholders on the location.
This matter Is easy of solution. It la the
novltablo consequence of the charter dlrcc-
ors falling to provide for the stockholder ]
.0III settle this question by their ballot , noth-
III being easier thun to vote on the site
when voting for directors. There Is also n
stronger reason for the justice of this plnn
IIO the right of alt Investors In an enterprise
O have a say where their money shall bi
risked , for the reason that some locations
vould mean failure , vvhllo n moro atccssluli
Ho might liihuro success.
Now , I wish to attribute honest motives
0 all that has been done BO far , hut any
observer can not but look with suspicion on
any refusal by the board of directors of tha
right of the stockholders to locate this site.
iVhllo the board may have thought thnt tha
publlo was not competent to deal with this
question I veil tut o to uuy that every share
ubscrlbcd will vote for the location most
Ikcly to return a dividend and thcro will
be less opportunity for a ring to work for
ho benefit of a low Interested ones who gel
on the Inside.
The suspicion Is frequently and openlj
vowed thnt the present board has made ur
slate ami will contiol the completion
the now board by fair tmans or other-
tlso and this suspicion will grow until tin
loa nl takes such action as will silence It
The threat Is made .by many stockholder !
hat If they are tricked In this matter theli
rst assessment of 5 per cent vvlll be tlu
ast which they vvlll pay.
Tl-o American cltl/cn wants fair play , at
oncst expression of the majority , anil thor
always gracefully abides by the do
Islon Any questionable move nt this time
vould raise such a storm that the whole.
ntirprlso vvlll ho endangered by the vrry
nes who , It treated by fair moans , not-
Itlistamllnr ; their disappointment , would
land nobly by any enterprise for the good
our city.
Lot us locate this exposition where a
majority of thu sharps desire , and let there
no possible question nbout the honest
ollectlcm and count of the hallo ) , then
hnro will bo no "kick coming" and noth-
ng will stand In the way of electing a board
capable managers for a directory.
