THE OMAHA DATLY B13E : SUNDAY. AUGUST 28. 1898. 21
CONDITION OF OMAHA'S ' TRADE
Situation in Omaha and Vicinity is More
Than Usually Encouraging.
MONEY EASY AND COLLECTIONS GOOD
Improvement Not Confined lo Any
One Line of Trnilc , but In General
Pronptct for ComiiiK
Month *
August draws lo a close with the whole
trade situation most encouraging , as re
gards Omaha and tributary territory. In
every department o business It la the
name , whether ictall or wholesale' nnd none
but the most favorable report * can bo
elicited. It Is to bo doubted If Omaha
business men ever hod a better August
business , ana the prospects for the coming
month could hardly bo better.
Local retailers have all they can do to
supply the wants of the throng of visitors
to the city , while the purely local demand
has been of very great proportions. Money
is comparatively easy and collections lira
good In consequence.
Groceries Show Improvement.
Trade In wholesale groceries Is steadily
improving , and consequently local jobbers
are In the best of spirits. For some months
past they had been expecting a big fall
demand nnd It can safely bo said that the
present situation Is fully up with their cx-
pocUtlonB. The market lust week was not
productive of any very radical changes ,
but It Is to bo noticed that prices on nearly
nil linen are llrm. with Indications for a
etlll higher market. The sugar market Is
especially active , und , owing to the heavy
demand for fall consumption , advanced
l-16c ln t week. The Indications are favor
able for Bill ! further advances In the near
future.
The dried fruit situation remains about
the ( tame us It was a week ago. California
lines , however , uro reported as being a
llttlo stronger In tone. Especially Is this
true of ralslna , although prices have not
as yet been placed on the new stock , but
the general opinion seems to bo thai the
market will open fully steady with lust
season's prices It not higher. The report Is
that about DO per cent of the raisin growers
liuvo cone Into what Is known as the
"Kalslii Growers' association , " the object
of the organization being to ralso prices.
Spot stocky are also quoted about " 40
higher than a week ago , on account of a
disastrous llro In Fresno , Cal. , which
destroyed about ninety carloads of raisins.
Flour , In sympathy with wheat , suffered
another decline last week , but oatmeal
remains practically the same. Canned goods
remain unchanged , with the exception of
Bulrnon , which Is steadily advancing owing
to the short pack. No other changes of
Importance are reported.
I.nrne Kxiiectiitloni.
Hardware men are also talking very
favorably aff regards their volume of busi
ness. They say that trade kept up ro-
iiiurkably well all summer , so well In fact
that they passed through the dull season
without feeling any let-up at all and con
sequently they are looking for a
phenomenal trade this fall. Collections ,
too , were never better than at the present
time , which Is a good indication of the
Bkuutlon out through the country.
The general tone of the market Is very
linn nnd jobbers would not be surprised to
twiii some still farther advances In nails.
Prices of rope uro as ilrm as ever with
the exception of the largo sizes that are
known as hay rope. Jobbers are Inclined
to make reductions on that line , as they
prefer to unload It now and thus avoid the
risk of carrying It over until next spring ,
us the opening up of the Philippines may
causa a break In the market. This , however -
over , applies only to the largo sizes , no
reduction being made In other lines as far
aa reported.
The dry goods situation remains
practically the same as a week ago. What
wan sold regarding the prosperity of the
grocery and hardware Jobbers Is Just as
applicable to the dealers In dry goods.
They are having all the business they can
comfortably handle and the anxiety on the
part of country merchants to get supplies
early Is a good Indication that farmers
liavo got money and are willing to spend It.
There Is nothing to report regarding the
market , as prices on practically everything
ure llrm , with no apparent reason for their
changing.
Lurpre Shipment * of Simon.
Boot and shoo Jobbers have nothing
especially Interesting to report except that
trade conditions are very favorable and
that business Is moving along with but
llttlo Irlctlon. A great quantity of goods
is being shipped Into the country dally
und at the same tlmo fresh orders are be
ing received , so there Is considerable
activity at the jobbing houses , moro BO in
fact than for some time past.
Rubber goods men are not as well pleased
as Jobbers In other lines. They have no
fault to llnd with the Inquiry for goods ,
but the dllllculty comes when they try to
get the orders. Traveling men tlnd that
merchants they have been dealing with for
yours are holding back and getting bids
from other sources. In short , the market
is demoralized and neither the Jobber nor
the retailer knows exactly where he stands ,
and both are dlssatlslled. The Jobber says
in order to sell goods he must offer them In
many cases at u loss , and the retailer Is
ufrald that ho Is not getting us good prices
as his competitor , which would place him
ut a disadvantage. The effect of this con
fusion Is to prolong fall business and make
it unsatisfactory In every respect.
The lumber trade last week was also
rather featureless. The volume of trade is
not Increasing very rapidly , but still it Is
generally of very satisfactory proportions.
The moro country dealers are visited the
moro local merchants are convinced that
Nebraska lumbermen have larger stocks on
hand at the present time than they have
over carried before , and many are of the
opinion that It will take about a month to
reduce stocks sutllclently to make It neces
sary to order new supplies. Lumbermen ,
however , are just us conildent as ever re
garding the outcome of their fall trade , and
are making preparations to supply a heavy
demand.
Fruit and Produce.
Commission men , aa well as jobbers , are
enjoying a nice trade. They say , however ,
that August has been hardly as satisfactory
as was July ; owing to the low market
which has reduced prollts to growers to a
minimum. The supply of both fruit and !
vegetables has been unusually large here I
for the last month and In many cases in
excess of the demand , which has also been
exceptionally heavy. Grapes are now be
coming quite popular with the trade , al
though they are still too green to make
good table grapes. There Is a tendency on
the part of growers to flood the market
on the start In the hope of getting In be
fore prices take a drop , but they usually
only succeed Jn making prices fall rapidly
and Injure the trade by furnishing Inferior
stock. Baskets are now Quoted at 16c.
Apples are also good sellers and bring from
$2.50 to $2.76 per barrel. Plums and pears
are In good request for this time of year ,
the former are selling at from $1.25 to (1.75 ,
and the latter at $2.25.
The egg market was moro settled last
week than It has been for some time. Re-
celpts have been only fair , and the same
Is true of the demand. It was practically
a lie market all the week. Poultry Is also
unchanged , spring chickens being held at
EC nnd hens at 6 CHc. The butter market
Is the sumo as it has been for several
weeks.

CHICAGO , Aug. 27. A desire on the part
ol September shorts to cover up ov'r Sun
day caused prices to trend upward today In
the wheat pit. September closed B-8c higher
and December gained 3-Sc. Corn rose Uc.
Oats nro unchanged to 1-Sc up. Pork ad

Wet weather In England and reports of
failure of the wheat crop in one of the
grain producing province ) of Russia were
given as reasons for the Liverpool quota
tions of wheat showing ad advance of from
3-Sd _ for September to 6-8d for December.
The . advance on the other side , where a de
cline had been confidently looked for , wus
the principal reason for higher prices at
the opening here. Behind the Improvement
at Liverpool there was the still abiding
cause of anxiety to short sellers for Sep
tember In the existing scarcity of the
grain In commercial channels. Compara
tively heavy receipts In the northwest was
the qualifying condition of affairs at the
start that the bears took comfort from and
prevented anything like panic among them
from the disturbingly small amount in
store. The week's shipments of wheat und
flour from both coasts was reported nt
3,503,475 bushels , compared with 3,9 SXK ( )
bushels the previous week. Chicago receipts
for the day were 181 cars against 190 the
year before. Minneapolis nnd Duluth re
ported 632 cars , compared with 395 the simi
lar day the year before.
The total receipts at western primary
markets was 753,000 bushels , compared with
1,182,000 bushels the year before. Atlantic
port clearance ! ) for the day were equal to
351,000 in wheat and flour. The domestic
winter wheat receipts were ngaln strik
ingly smaller than those of the preceding
year. September wheat opened at 03 7-Sc
nnd kept steady between that price and
63V4C during the greater part of the session.
December most of the time kept ut 2c un
der September. Firmness was the prevail
ing feeling near the close , when prlres
were at their best for the day , September
selling spdiliigly at U4Q641-SC and Decem
ber at 61c , but both reacted a fraction
on the last few trades. September opened
Ho higher at 63 7-Sc , declined to 63Hc , rose
to C4S64 i-gc , and closed at Clc. December
started U@ic ! up at 61 G-S@617-8c , sold oft
to GUi'SGlS-bc ' , firmed up to 617-8c and left
off at 615-8C buyers. The mood In corn was
somewhat bullish on claims from Kansas
of poor yields because of hot weather.
Speculation was dull and traders appar
ently were Inclined to leave deals onenTor
development during the coming week , Sep
tember opened Uc higher at SOc. sold up to
30 < g30 l-8c , declined to 29 7-Sc and closed at
SOc bid.
Trade In oats was mostly In the way of
changing September contracts over Into
May , the latter holding at 2Uc premium.
September opened unchanged to 1-sc lower
at 19c and advanced to 19 7-Sc , the clos
ing price.
Support from houses with English con
nections together with denials of the yel
low fever rumors from Texas steadied pro
visions. September pork opened 2Vjc lower
nt $3.SO and sold up to $3.S5 , the closing
price. September lard began 2',4c higher at
$5.10 , declined to $5.07V4 , then rallied to
$5.12V4 at the close. September ribs started
unchanged at $5.17 , Improved to $5.25 and
closed at $5.22 5.25.
Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat ,
200 cars ; corn , 750 cars ; oats , 475 cars ; hogs ,

Drop In SiiRnr nt the Opening nit Un-
neKlliiK Factor In .Market.
NEW YORK , Aug. 27.-Tho bears mani
fested considerable confidence that n reac
tion In the prices of stock was duo today
nnd they sold at the opening advance nnd
carried prices at one time materially below
lost night's close. They had on their sldo
a disposition by many holders to take
prollts , but the demand was EO considerable
as to absorb all offerings at the decline and
the bears were forced to cover quite heav
ily , lifting prices sharply above the lowest
and In many cases above last night.
The drop In Sugar nt thn opening was an
unsettling factor and a determined drive
against People's Gas anally knocked off
H from the price of that stock. It was evi
dent also that there was an abundant sup
ply of stocks of the granger and of North
ern Paclllc on any considerable advance
In prices. The opening high prices ware
partly manipulated for purposes of realiz
ing prollts , Americans having been ad
vanced In London by cabled orders from
New York. A number of prominent stocks
which showed vigorous resistance to the
declining market were Important factors
in effecting the rally. Most conspicuous of
these were Union Paclllcs. The common
rose 1 3-8 on demand and sold down near
a point on the reaction. The recovery car
ried It up an extreme 1 7-S. The preferred
stack wus llrm above last night's figures ,
Denver & Rio Grande preferred showed
continued strength , as did Southern Rail
way preferred , Erie 1st preferred , Norfolk
& Western preferred and the Wabash se
curities. The heavy decrease In surplus re
serve of the banks was an unsettling In
fluence In the late trading. The closing was
somewhat Irregular , some stocks showing
effects of renewed buying , while others
sultered from continued profit taking.
Railway bonds were active today and
closed rather feverish at reactions In the
speculative Issues. T'io stock market has
gone through an extent T process of liqui
dation of prollts during ihu week and has
demonstrated such a llrm basis of underly
ing strength as to have encouraged the re
entry Into stocks of many of the Influen
tial financial Interests who had sold out to
the public after having manipulated the
rise to the extreme point they considered
possible. But the week's events have
showed that outside speculations were
waiting to take stocks at any marked re
cession In prices. It also showed that the
profit taking had resulted In the actual
digestion of large amounts of dividend-
paying stocks and bonds und the consequent
quent reduction of the floating supply In
the market. The active return In interest
und dividends makes attractive Invest
ments while money continues cheap.
Today's bank statement shows that the
amount of the Increase In loans has been
more than withdrawn from the deposit ac
count. It has In fact been diverted to the
United States treasury and there have not
been sufficient government bonds available
for the banks to offer security to maintain
the government money on deposits. The
result Is a loss of cash amounting to $9-
590,800 , ulthough New York banks have had
net receipts In the Interior currency move
ment during the week. The consequence Is
a decline In the surplus of $7,493,930 , even
after a reduction In reserve requirements
of $1,191,850. If the demand from the Interior
for moving crops should rise to normal
proportions surplus reserves would have to
be promptly replenished from some source.
There Is , however , a likelihood that interior
demand will prove lighter than usual ,
owing to abundant Interior reserves. The
fall In sterling exchange makes It evident
also that the money market would llnd re
lief In gold imports without necessitating
any great contraction of credit.
United States seconds have advanced 1 ;
the old 4s , registered , have declined H , the
new 4s U and the 3s , when Issued , 3-8 In
the bid price.
The Evening Post's London financial ca
blegram says : Considering that the settle
ment is to begin on Monday next , the stock
market here today was decidedly tlrm.
Americans were again notably strong , the
feature being the rise In Wabash , Union
Paclllc and Denver & Rte Grande shares.
It Is expected that the settlement will show
a much larger account In Americans , the
amount carried for Berlin being decidedly
large. Contungoes , however , probably will
bo light because of easy money. The
strength of Brazils and Argentines con
tinues. Silver is lower. It is said in some
quarters that the Spanish orders have come
to an end for the present , Spain having
bought over 100,000 of silver. So much
speculation Is going on In silver , however ,
that all reports are unreliable. The rise in
New York money rates , the weakness of
New York exchange and the Increased sup
ply of American bills are visibly affecting
the London money market , whoso tone to
day was firm.

FOUGHT A DL'HL IN TEXAS.
Ilnttlr to the Dcnth ivlth Uovolrerx
nt Fifteen Feet.
Two young men of El Paso , Tex. , appealed
to the code duello lost Friday to Bottle a
score which they felt called for the shedding
of blood. As the result of the meeting on
the Held of honor one of the principals and
his second are In Jail. The other principal
Is In the hospital and his second has fled
to Mexico.
The feud which precipitated the duel , re
lates the Globe-Democrat , had Us origin
j three years ago , when Ramon Gomez , a
young merchant of this city , eloped with
and married the pretty 10-year-old sister
| of Antonio Velarde of Juarez , Mex. Young
j Velarde , who is a Spaniard , moved to E
, Paso after his sister's marriage and engagei
1 in the cigar business. He refused to rec
ognlzo Gomez , saying he was a stealer o
young girls and unworthy of notice.
The contempt of Velarde greatly enrage
Gomez , who sent his brotlier-In-law Insulting
messages , until Velarde threatened to horse
whip him If ho sent any more , whereupon
Gomez sent word to Velarde that he was a
coward and would not fight.
The fiery young Spaniard's answer to thl. .
was a challenge and at 1 o'clock in tli
morning the two men , accompanied by the )
seconds , Pablo Alvarez and Avellno Valarde
met on the river bank , within the corporal' '
limits of the city , and fought.
The principals were stationed five yard
apart , each armed with a 45-callbrc Colt'
and Instructed to begin firing at the won'
"Fire" and continue shooting to the death
Gomez fired three shots and at Velarde
second shot Gomez fell , with the bone o
his left leg shattered below the knee. Doth
of Velarde's shots took effect In his brother' '
In-law's left leg.
When Gomez fell Velarde ran toward him
and the wounded man raised on his clbov
and fired a fourth eliot Just as Velarde bca
him Into Insensibility with bis gup.
At this stage of the proceedings an officer
appeared and the seconds escaped. Velardo
was put In Jail , together with one of the I
seconds who was caught later , and Gomez
was taken to the hospital , where his leg
was amputated. Velarde protested against
being arrested , saying the tight was by mu
tual agreement. Officers hero say this la
the first arreat ever made In Texas for
duelling , which Is a penitentiary offence.

CATTLE There was not enough cattle
hero to make a market and the trade was
very slow and generally lower. The buyers
took about everything here , but It was a
typical Saturday's market without feature
of general interest.
The tendency of the cattle market has
been lower this week and most' all kinds
are selling under what they were a week
ago. Good corn cattle are about 10&15c
lower than they were last week and the
half to two-thirds fa Battle are anywhere
from 15c to 20c lower. The range cattle are
coming , good and thu competition from
them Is bearing tie ! market on the common
grades of corn cattle as most always
happens at this teason of the year. Good
grass cattle have , sold well all the week
though beef gra-Jes p.ro a little lower than
last week , prrbablv lOc on good kinds.
The demand for cows and heifers has
been good all the week nnd the market on
that kind Is fuh > as good as It was lost
week. In fact. If there has been any
change at all , It is rather on thu side of
stronger prices , and a irood many salesmen -
men report desirable kinds aa selling better
than last week.
The demand for good heavy feeding
steers , weighing l.OuO to 1,100 pounds and of
good duality is steadily Increasing nnd
in spite of the decline on other kinds of
cattle , they have held up well and are now
ielllng Just OH well as a week ago. The
common kinds , perhaps might be quoted a
little easier , In sympathy with the general
lower tendency of values. The most Im
portant change took place In connection
with yearling stoekers , which are slow sale
at prices varying all the way from 30q to
BEEF STEERS.

BOc lower than they were last week. The
cause for the break was simply u largo In
crease In the receipts , which caused the
tiupply 10 run way ahead of the demand
Rpyresentatlvo sales :
HOGS Light hogs sold at steady to
strong pi Ices this morning , that Is $4.72&ffi
3.75 largely , and heavy hogs were weak to
Be lower , the most of them going nt $3.65 ®
3.70. On good light and light mixed the
market was active , the demand being mon
than c'liunl to the offerings. Common Ugh
and shlppy stuff Is slow sale , especially old
and thin sows. Everything that would
please the light hog buyers sold early and
the pens were soon cleared of that kind.
A packer offered $3.ia for a good light sort.
The markgt on heavy hogs won u drag
from Btart to finish. The receipts were the
largest of the month for a Saturday , and
buyers did not appear at all anxious about
lining orders. In addition lo the fresh re
ceipts there were ton or n dozen loads that
were carried over from yesterday. While ,
the movement was slow the hogs kept mov
ing toward the scales , and In the t-nd most j
everything was sold , but the close was
weak on heavy hogs. '
The weak opened with a decided break In
hog values , but the market recovered nj
Tuesday , when the average price reached
$3.74. Monday proved to bo the low day
of the week , and on Wednesday values took
u Jump of about 7c , which carried the mar
ket to the high point of theweek. . Dur
ing the lust three days of the week the
tendency was gradually lower , the average
of the sales at the last being only a tilmdo
better than on the opening day of the
week.
A feature of the week that shippers
should not lose sight of IB the change of
sentiment toward light hogs. For a good
many weeks past heavy hogs have com-
mnnded a premium over light , but this )
week the situation has been reversed , and
light hogH at the preuont writing are most
In demand nnd command a premium over ,
prlmo heavy. It Is good light , however , ] ,
that la wanted , and not skips. Repre

SHEEP Today's arrivals vrcro light ,
only nix cam being reported In. two of
them were lambs , three were sneep nnd onu
car of yearlings. The market did not show
much change ns compared with yesterday
nnd was without any especially new
feature.
The tendency of the market on mutton
grades has been lower this week , the low
amounting to lOo. Some western sheep
which sold yesterday brought $4.15 , ntt
ngalnstagnlnst $1.20 Wednesday and $4.30
on Monday , but the difference in quality
would account for pome of the loss lit
price , though they were oil of the sam
outfit. The demand for mutton sheep and
lambs Is good at this point and the only
trouble Is to got a regular supply of suf
ficient proportions to kevp the packers go-
Ing.
Feeding sheep and lambs continue In
active demand and the mipply Is below the
requirements of would-bo buyers. The
commission men all have orders to buy and
everything that arrives In snapped up im
mediately. Values are fully ns good us
they wore a week ago.
