' ,
' A remark It ; occaslonafly heard to the
' \
( efTect that busIne th rather quiet , people
mnTly times forgetfing that thiB 13 the dull
reason of the year when ordinarily there l
not enough doIng to keep any one busy.
ThIs has , however , bcen a remarkable season -
son and It Is to be doubted If there ever
Wai a summer when trade In all depart.
flients was as ctlvo as t has been all
through July and at the commencement of
, August. The large number of strangers
' attending the exposition has made a great
dIttereno with the retail merchants and In
p additton It I a generally conceded fact that
, there are fewer Omaha people absent from
the city than usual during the summer
season.
n every department of busIness the attu.
atton Is most gratifyIng , considering the
season of the year , and , what Is still more
i'ncouraglng. the prospect for business this
fall could hardly be better. The late rains
3iavo put the country crops in splendid conS
$ dition afli the country Is buying nil kinds
of merchandise with a freedom that Is most
gratifying.
The fairly remunerative Prices at which
live stock and wheat are selling is rendering -
dering money in the country quito easy , so
that there is nothing In th way of a
hindrance in that direction.
. '
'hnt Jolbers Are Ioiig. ,
Wholesale grocers report considerable improvement -
provement ! trade conditions for inst week
LU LIlO raIns , WIIICfl nave created
a much easier feeling all over the state.
The iiprovement does not seem to be In
any one particular line , but in all classes
of goods.
The market Is also fluctuating more than
i for some time past. This is noticed es-
I pectaily In California Products. 110th the
J canned anti dried fruits are advancing , the
J i market for the latter being in rather an
excited condition. Developments of the
t last week have shown that stocks are
much lighter than at flrst anticipated and
! besides that foreign buyers are unusually
) active this season. It is reported thnt
fully one-haif the output of apricots
I ) has been contracted for by European buy-
' era , which leaves the suppiy for home
trade exceediiy short. As a result of
this shortage apricots advanced from ic to 2c
. L , . . . . per vound last week and peaches made a
corresponding rise.
/ Eastern Peaches also made an advance
of from 5 to lOc Per dozen , owing to the tact
that there Is little prospect of there being
over a one-haif average pack.
tn farinaceous goods flour Is reported as
being easier on account of the fall in
' 'wheat. Oatmeal , however , is lirmer , because -
cause of the fact that a considerable
proportion of the new crop of oats is rup-
fling light weight anti besides that tha
stock of old oats Is concentrated in a few
hands.
The sugar market is reported na being
about the same as for some little time past.
The demand , however , Is somewhat more
flmited , as is usually the case at this
season of the yettr owing to the close of
% the berry season. Fail fruits have not as
yet arrived on the market to take the place
of the berries and consequentl the failing
off In the demand for sugar is to be expected -
pected , No other changes of importance
In the schedule of prices are reported.
Dealers in hardware are also feeling
better than they were a week ago and say
that while they are not rushed with busl-
ness , still they ar having a. nIce , lively
trade. Country merchants that are calling
' , on the trade all talk very encouragingly
and appear to feel perfectly sate In placing
liberal orders. The market at this point remains -
mains drrn on alilines of goods , although
ne report comes [ rom tile east o a weakening -
ening in the null market. It Is not cx-
pocted , however , that there will be any
change here , as prices are already as low
as they ehould be.
Dry goods merchants have very little
that Is new to report. They are still receiving -
ceiving orders for fall goods with every
mail and especially is that true flince tlto
recent rains. With the beginlng of the
month the shipment of goods Into the
country started in good earnit and there
'will be no letting up now for several
weeks , The more fancy lines will arrive
hero before long and vll be ready for In-
apection at the jobbing houses. It is cx-
pecteti tnat there will be an unusually good
demand this year for nil the better grades
of dress goods and jobbers are making
their calculations with that Idea in mind.
Reports coming from other loints show
that the dry goods market is lirm and
active ail over the country , with every
Indication for its remaining in that con-
dltion. Local dealers are entirety
eatisileil with the trade they are having
and say this rilt be without doubt the
best year for them on record ,
Boot and shoe jobbers also have about the
same report to make , as prices are not
changing anti the volume of business transacted -
acted from week to week varies but little.
Country merchants as a rule seem to be
s anxious to get their goods and consequently
' ( shipments are being rushed. Orders are
t constantly coming in from now quarters
and visitors at the various jobbing houses
' ( c , arc numerous , so there is considerable ac-
.1 tlvity among merchants at the present tIme.
V The purchase of spring samples , however ,
continues to ho a leading feature , and , while
liberal orders have been placed with travel-
Ing men , still several of the leading' job.
' bers are now in the east ilnishing up the
purchases. It Is the intention of local jobbers -
" bers to have a line of spring ttamplcs that
cannot be excelled.
Ixicc * tug ImProvement in Luniber.
Lumbermen are feeling decidedly easier
inco the rains have vut a stop to the talk
about dry weather. Instead of receiving
orders to hold shipments until heard from
$ g or to reduce them h3 half , as was the case
' ' a week ago , they arc , being told to ship as
' I first instructed. Local dealers are looking
.1 for a decided improvement in theIr busIness
In the course of another week or so , as the
middle of August is looked upon as being
the turning point from the dull to the busy
season , It can scarcely be said , however ,
that there Iitis been a dull vcriod this year
at ; trade has kept up remarkably velI
throughout tile slimmer. Business in a retail -
tail way 1111 $ been somewhat slack , but no
fault has ben found with the wholesale
trade. Now that crops are out of danger
at least for the tIme being , merchants ( eel
conhldent that tllO ) are going to have all
the business they can comfortably handle.
The market remains ilrxn on nil lines ,
TilO commIttee appointed to arrange for
Lumbernien's tIny , to be celebrated at the
Transinisslesippi Exposition on September
II , feels more confldent now than ever that
it is going to be able to secure exception-
ahl ) loW railroad rates for all those wishing
to vist Omaha en that occasIon. WIth low
rates and the attractive program arranged
bY the committee there is no doubt but
what every lumberman in this part of the
country will take tnrt in the ceremonies.
Commission awn report a very good do-
snand for fruit and 'egc'talles of all kinds ,

The egg market last week was decidedly

, rate , The rise is caused by a good demand

ChICAGO , Aug. 6.-Scarcity of receipts
anti active cash demand advanced wheat to.
day. September left cit 7-Sc higher and Do.
comber Corn closed e lower.
Oats lost 1-Sc. Pork , lard and ribs Un-
changed.
Wheat started very strong , September
opening at from 67c to CSc , against 67
67 3.Sc at last night's close , There was no
appearance of any increase in the movement -
mont of wheat and Liverpool sent higher
quotations , Showery weather in the northwest -
west gave the bulls a further opportunity ,
as the trade tinder present conditions was
nervous about the possibilities of a wet
harvest In that season. The demand for
the bimted offerings In the sample market
was most active and at from 20 to 3c over
the previous day's prices. Orders for round
lots for shipment were on the market at
a slight premium over the carload price.
Chicago receIved 141 cars , against 125 a
year ago and Minneapolis and Duluth f
cam , against 153 last year. Atlantic Iott
clearances of wheat and flour for the last
twenty-tour hours amounted to 320,0t ) bu.
lJeerbohm estimates the world's shipments
of wheat and flour to Europe for the yeek
Ut 5,600,000 bu. September opened c7i I-Sc
higher at 673jGSc , rose to 65 7-Se and closed
at 68 1-Sij6S4c. December began 1i3.Sc III ,
at 66C6 1-Sc , sold up to GTe , then declined
to C64 3-Sc bid at the close ,
Corn received some a.slstance from the
strength in wheat and also from tIle ICan-
ens report for the month , showing a drop
in conditions of 24 points compared with
that of a month ago. The s'eather was
acting kindly to the crop and it was clear
that such of it as had not been ruined past
redemption must be rapidly improving. 4\s
a result the market only maintained a
show of strength for about half an hour.
After that there was more for sale than
there were buyers and prices gradually
worked oft. September opened 1-SVc
higher at from 33c to 33 5-Sc which un-
mediately brought it Under the tuiluenco
of calls. Near the end of the esion it got
as low as 32 7-S(33c , but reacted ti little
and closed at 33 3-Sc , sellers ,
Oats was firm early , but remaIned so as
long as corn showed strength. There were
only a few buying orders from the country
and all were ilbled early. September opened
1-S7Ic higher at 21 3-Sc , rose to 2ic and
declined to 21 1-Sc at the close.
A bight run of hogs and the strength in
grains started provisions higher. After the
openIng spurt , however , the market went
practically to sleep , until the noise with
which the grain markets' close woke it up
for two or three minutes' further exercise.
The net result was that closing prices today -
day and yesterday were substantially thte
same.
Estimated receipts for Monday are :
Wheat , 190 cars ; corn , 5I ) cars ; oats , 315
cars ; hogs , OO00 head.

Tone of Neu' York Stock Market
Stroiig UTItI Coutllent ,
NEW YORK , Atlg. 0.-Tue tone of the
stock market today continued very strong
and confident. The stream of money hewing -
ing into stocks and bonds showed a steady
augmentation. The movement of the large
concentrated wealth which took the Initla-
tive during the week continued and the foi-
lowing titts invited showed increase. The
two hours'sesslon of the Stock ixchange
was ( miii of business and the demand was
eager for a large list of stocks.
The preference Is decitledly for the assured -
sured dividend paying Interests as yet , but
It was influenced by the possibilities In
some cases of dividend increases and
showed a. tendency to ovCrIloS\ ' into non-
dividend paying stocks on which there is
fair prospect of future dividends by rca-
son of growth of company's earnings. The
rangers continued the favorItes but Burlington -
lington fell sIihtly into the background
to make way br St. Paul and Rock Is-
band , the former rising an extreme 1 5-8
and the latter 1. Dealings In these stocks
were very large. 1,000 share blocks frequently -
quently cliangIn hands to the powerful
Speculative leaders , who have chosen tills
group of stocks to operate on lirst , because -
cause of the dominant Influence It exercises -
cises on the whole railroad list. Nothing in
the ( lay's developments was more impres-
slvt than the pause In activity just before
the close. The bu3'itg was apparently
stopped to test the tendency of the market.
Recessions of 1.8 or in prices promptly
put a stop to offerings. There was no 1)res-
sure to realize even by small room trad-
era. Considering the week's rise in the
prices , tile firmness mit the close was re-
marlmbbe. Traders are prone to close outstanding -
standing contracts and take proilts ,
whether on the long or short side , in antic-
ipatlon of a Stlnda ) ' interval , but no dis-
p3sitldn was shown to sell out today.
The heavy expansion In loans shown in
the bank statement Is mostly due to the
awakened stock exchange activity. The
net increase in cash of something over
$1,800,000 was largely from interior receipts ,
the sub-treasury's daily debit balance be-
lag still oftet by payments on tIle loam :
account. The resulting Increase in deposIts -
Its raised the legal reserve limit by $300S42-
575 , wlllch the cash increase failed to cover
by $2,011,475 , tile amount of tIle decline Ia
tile surplus reserves.
The activity In the iron trade is one of
several signs of lntltlstrlal and trade re-
vis'al , which together with the movement
of crops is expected to give largely cx-
tended uses of money. There vill Undoubtedly -
doubtedly be large embarkations of capital
iti Porto Rico , Cuba and the Philippines.
Confident expectation of match demands ( or
money must be looked too to explttin the
present import movement of gold , In view
of the present plethora of money.

Tile Evening I'ost's London financial ca-
blegran : says : The stock markets here
were quIet und ( lull today , except fur
AmerIcans , which , ufter opening below the
parIty , rapidly advanced and closed
nt the best , Buying here has fallen off ,
both oim New York account and on the part
of English buyers , the general disposition
at the moment and as prompted by the
vrcss being to operate for a moderate rise
in Americans. Lluyers here are generally
nilviseti. however , to take short iroflts. The
strengtil In Argentines continues , but Brazilian -
zilian and lJruguayan bonds were lower ,
Thu rise in Spanish sectlritieit calm-
tlnuns. It is mainly due to Purchases
for the ParIs bear account. 'rile London
rate for short 11111 $ is 1 3-8. TIme future of
the money market hero is most uncertain ,
'l'te tendency at time moment is downward ,
but the sllresv4est antI most ctultioti qultr-
ters look rather for un atlvance than a
further tall in money rates.

CA'l'TLE-Tho receipts today were only
thirty-seven loads , which was qttite Proper
for a Saturday's rtmmi at a great market ,
but it % 'as in reality unusually sniull. A
week ago ilfty-nlne cars arrived at tills
Point , two weeks ago forty-eight antI the
same number three weeks ago. In June tile
Saturday's receipts of cattle averaged
doubiu what they were today.
Not only were the total receipts small ,
but of the cattle here fourteett cars were
consigned direct to packers so that there
were only tibout fifteen cars of fat Steers
and sometlling like live cars of cow stuff
on sale. 'rue babatce of tile receipts consisted -
sisted of odds and ends , stockers. feeders ,
etc. The market , as cornlared ) will : yesterday -
day , was without change and was lacking
in interesting or new fetitures.
Tlo market on killing cattio of all kinds
ha had a lower tendency this % % 'eek , though
the loss is not great. Good dry lot cattle ,
such its are selling at $1.80 tip to $5.40 , are
SOjlOc lower thai : a week ago , and the
mi'diun : to common gratles , which : are selling -
ing at $4.230j4.7O , are fully 10 and some
t'ouId say iSc lower titan a week ago. It
will be remembered , ilowever , that tiley
took oft a good deal oh the common and
half fat stuff lust week utmd for that reason
that kimi of cattle has not suffereti so very
nluch more decline this week titan the
better cattle.
Willie beef cattle are lower , It is an Ia-
disputable fact that these cattle are selling -
ing higher here In proportion tilan at other
markets. Shippers have beeti unable to
operate on the market for some time Ilast
on this account and cattle that have beci :
forwartled in first hands have not done
their owners aims' good. It Is umitlerstood
that one lmuncl : that vent through brought
only Sc more than was offered for them
here , while another bunch of good stuff lost
ileavlly. riie tact is that this market is
tot ) high and the only reason thut it holds
lii ) 50 velI appears to be due to tile light
receipts which are hlurh13' up to the re-
iiuirements ol local Ilackers.
Cows and heitera Ilave beemi on the down
grade for some days past. s high us
24.85 was paid during the week for western
dry lot betters , s'hich % 'as the high Price of
the season , but they vere extra good stuff.
'rhe general run of medium to common
cows and Ilelfers ate oil thu way froim : 1O7j
20c lower tllal tile ) ' w're inst week , owing
to the competition from gruas cattle. With
the packers ubie to bring In grass Texans
( mcmi : Iansas City at $3 It is hardly reasonable -
able to expect common to medium cow
stuff to eli at very famlcy Prices ,
TIme supply of stockers uud feeders Is
still small and the demand is abaut equal
to the sUlply. For that reason feeders
have sold a little imigller this week , rume
teellng , llowever , is very : venk , amid spoon-
lators are all c'xjmectlmig lower prices &tmmd
arc extremely cautious , 'l'ime general feeling -
ing is that lO'er prices will prvall , and
there can be Ito doubt tilat with the present
state of the market a ( ow more cattle
than t'ere wanted ( or the day's deniand
wotmid bietik pricc at ledst 25c. As a
ailmIle of the feeling among speculators a
bunch of cattle was offered today for less
money than was paid ( or theta tao middle
of the seelt. Siost every 0110 seems to
think that feeders anti stockers are too
Ilglt ( or tile good of time cttttlo trade , and
without qtleatioa there 'lii be a strong
eilort amnung btiyers to break tile mnurktlt
as soon as tile cattle become a little more
plentiful , itepresentativo sales ;
