In a retail way trade Is steadily Improv
ing MB the season advances , due In part
to the Increased number of visitors In the
city , and to the further fact that after
the midsummer season Is passed there Is
always an Increased demand for merchan-
OlBC. It Is still rather early to expect much
In the way of real full trade , but the cooler
weather last week served as a gentle re
minder of a clianRO to come , and retailers
report n better movement of such goods as
urc always In demand during the cool
Reason. From this time on It Is safe to
ay that there will be u steady falling off
In the demand for hot weather goods , and
the character of merchandise going Into
consumption will gradually change. As a
rule thu retailers of the city uro well
pleased with the experiences of the summer
und are looking forward to the best fall
trade In thu history of the city.
Jobbers uru equally well satisfied with the
Volume of business doing , and ns tlm situa
tion continues to bu entirely to the liking
of all concerned , there Is not much that
can bo added to what was said In thesu
columns last week.
While thu business situation In the state
nt largo Is not ns bright as It was a month
ngo , the prospect Is still far from dlscourug-
Ing. It uppcurs to be reasonably ceituln
that there will bo a considerable shortage
in thu corn crop as compared with last yeur ,
but us un offset against the reduced yield
there Is u largo stuck of old corn still In
thu hands of farnu rs which will bo avail
able and whli b will tend to make up for
the falling off In thu new crop. It has been
observed by operators on thu South Omaha ,
market that Nebraska farmers are not
buying many cuttle to place on feed this
year , which would seem to Indicate u shurt-
ugu of feed , whllo at the samu tlmu low.i
farmers arc buying largely. Whether that
la a mutter for regret or not remains to be
Hcen. Last year u great many of the farm
ers ot this Htalo throw away their corn
crop by fattening high-priced feeders which
sold for a low price as beef. This year the
price of feeding entile Is very high , and it
may prove to bo u good thing for ull con
cerned In f o business prosperity of the
stuto If the farmers In this section do not
attempt to feed many cattlo. If corn should
happen to go to a good prlco the man with
high-priced feeding cuttle on hand would
not Htand as good a chance us the man
with corn to ac-ll.

'very line seenw to bo needed by thr
. .Fliuntry dealers. The market Is llrm on ull
Pncs und some dlfllculty Is even being ru-
ported In getting sufficient quantities of
seasonable goods to supply the trade. It
will be remembered that the same condition
prm ailed In the spring , which only goes to
Hhow that the hardwaretrudo has been un
usually largo ull this yeur. The only quot-
ublu change on the market Is In rope , whlcli
Is le lower , with Indications for still lowei
prices In the near future. The fulling off it
in both Manila und sisal rope.
Thu dry goods trudo Is ulso In u very
prosperous condition. The present condi
tion of the weather has a tendency to
push denlern up on their orders for full
Blocks and It nlso makes those who have
ordered morn anxious to gf t Ihelr supplier ,
Ooods nro now moving Into the country
at a rupld rate and local men'hanls feel
satisfied that from now on their trade will

c.speclully noticeable and It Is seldom thai
any ono goes away without leaving
good order. The hotter grades of good *
continue to bo In the best demand , whlli
cheap gradcH art ) apparently not wanted.
The jobbers In bootH and shoes have
about thu same report to make as was
clvon out a week ago. Th change In the
weather Is even more beneficial to then
than to the dry goods Jobber * nnd consequently
quently the volume of their business tthow.-
considerable Improvement. Trudo will

your , und. Judging from present Indica
tions , It Is safe to say that there Is ever >
reason to look for u nlco full run nni !
continued prosperity.
The rubber slluatlon also shows som (
Improvement , owing to the cooler weather
liealers say that they ulwuys look to tin
first cold wuvo to bring In u lot of orders
as It reminds countrymen that winter h
approaching and that they must place thcli
orders If they expect to bo prepared foi
the early business. This year countrj
merchants have been unusually slow about
clvlng their orders , owing to the demoral
Ized condition of the market , consequent ! ]
trndo ban been somewhat slow up to thl !
tlmo , but local dealers are of the oplnloi
that theru Is to bo u big change In the ncai
fuluro and that some people may bo glai
to get their rubbers at any price. A gooi
many rubbers of course. Have already beet
shipped Into the country , but hardly a :
many ns local Jobbers expected liefnro tin
break In prices. They nro confident , however
over , that the ordera must conie , Kl > the ;
"
uro content to wait until th country l"
ready.
Lumber merchants ore hardly ns con
fldent regarding their fall trade as tho'
were n few weeks ago. Thn reports o
short crops In various sections of the Btat <
has led them to think that farmers wll
do scarcely as much building as uiitlclpalei
and consequently tRe lumber trade wll
suffer. Then , too , country merchants an
stocked up so heavily that it will tuk
considerable trade to reduce their suppl ;
siifllclent to warrant tile placing of nev
orders. Hy this thev do not mean thu
trade with them will bo dull , but slmpl :
that thu volume of fall trade has beei
overestimated. They are still looking fo
n. good average run of business , but i
few wtx-ks UBO they were expecting some
thing beyond the ordinary and there Is in
doubt but what conditions prevailing a.
that tlmo justified such a belief.
Fruit nml Produce.
The eondltlori bf the weather for the las
few days has not been very conducive ti
trade In watermelons and lemons , but asld
from that business with commission mei
was very satisfactory lost week. Th tie
mum ! from all quarters Is unusually heav

Thn egg market made several advance
last week , owing to light receipts and t
the poor quality of the stocks received
Dealers say the shrinkage amounts t
about 25 per cent , which greatly reduce
the available , supply. They art ) In hone
that -mother week will exhaust the ho
WMther eggs and then they look for
reduction In the amount of shrinkage. Th
market Is now being quoted nt about ISM-i

CHICAGO , Sept. 10. nig northwestern re
ceipts proved too much for the bulls In
wheat today nnd prices were forced down
ward. September closed 1 cent lower and
December declined 7-Sftlc. Corn lost 3-sc.
Oats nro 'ifiS-Sc lower. Pork nnd lard left
oft 2'Ac ' lower each and ribs gained 2 g5c.
An easier market at the start was caused
by the heavy receipts of wheat In the
northwest. A break of IHc n bushel In the
price of cash wheat at Duluth , which be
came known here about half an hour after
the opening converted the easier opening
tone Into ono of positive weakness. Liver
pool was firm at ? Jd advance for September
nnd 5-Sd for December. Chicago received
192 cars , against 270 expected. Minneapolis
and Duluth receipts were 1,129 cars , as com
pared with 759 the year before. The aggre
gate of receipts at primary western mar
kets was 1,254,000 bushels , compared with
1,261,000 bushels a year ago. Atlantic port
exports for the day were equal In wheat
and flour to 425.000 bushels. About the time
the news of the IVic break was recelvcel
from Dululh a recess of the board was
taken to view the procession e > f returning
Chicago volunleers. The fluctuations of
December wheat from opening to time ot
adjournment were : Opening trades 1-Sc
lower lo l-8c higher nt fri 11 61 7-Sc to 62 ©
62 1-bc , from that gradually down to Gl 5-Sc
and then rapidly to Glc , recovering to 61'io
by the time for temporary suspension of
business. After the re'ccss there was half
nn hour's brisk trading , but weakness was
the prevailing feature of the session and
December closed with sellers at Glff611-bc. (
September opened unchanged to 1-Sc up nt
G37-Sij64c. { rose to 611-Sc , then dropped to
62 7-Sc , the closing price.
Corn states had no frost last night and
the cold weather bulls were much disap
pointed. There was liberal selling of long
corn bought yesterday and the pit crowd
was generally bearish. Traders were dls-
pOHed to sell on a declining market and
with few buyers to take the offerings prices
were gradually forced down. December
opened l-SifTVic down at SO'ifTSO ' B-Sc , declined
to 30 1-Sc and closed nt 30 3-bc.
Oats were weak In sympathy with the
other grains. May began unchanged to 1-Sc
down at 22c and declined to 213ii721 ! 7-Sc.
Provisions opened weak on a dull trade ,
but good buying of lard by a prominent
packer brought about a general Improve
ment In prhes later on. The declines In
, the end were small In pork and lard , whllo
I ribs gained a trltle. December pork opened
' 7',4c lower at $8.50 and advanced to $8.55 , the
1 closing price. December lard began tin-
changed at $1.90 , off to $1 87Vj , firmed up to
$4.95 , then reacted to $ I.U2'2 ' sellers at the
close. October ribs started 2'i'f5c. ' ' lower nt
$5.17 and Improved to $5.25 , the closing price.
Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat ,
240 cars ; corn , 600 cars ; oats , " 25 cars ; hogs ,
30,000 head.

Market Ilrlnhtein Up Unilor ImpetiiN
of Hotter rrlct-N for .VmerlciuiN.
NEW YORK , Sept. 10. The stock market
opened higher today under the Impetus of
better prjcea for Americans In London. The
Ixidon advance was apparently manlpu-
' lated from this side , for the rise here was
met by quite heavy offerings In continuation
of the liquidation of the last few days ,
forced by the culling of loans. The extent
of this liquidation is reflected In the con
traction of tG,778,700 in loans shown by the
weekly statement of the clearing house.
Now York Central showed the largest gain
In thu railroad list. The advance In Cen
tral was lost , but Northern P.icllle. held
persistently llrm In the reaction after the
opening.
i The reaction nt the opening Invited some
1 buying , especially in St. Paul , which ral
lied nearly a point on the trafllo slatement
for the first week In September , showing an
Increase over last year's unprecedented
high level of J16G.272. Thu Industrials came
, more Into notlco In the second hour , espe
cially Tobacco , which showed a violent re-
I cover from yesterday's weakness , recoverIng -
| Ing 7 points on forced covering of shorts.
i The news which caused the advance was
not forthcoming , but presumably had to do
with the plug tobacco agreement , the al
leged failure of which caused yesterday's
decline. Sugar , Rubber , Steel nnd Wire
and Hawaiian all were conspicuously
strong.
The continued shrinkage of cash reserves
of New York banks 1ms been the prevail
ing factor In the Block market during the
week. The largo demands of the treasury
on New York banks for cash In payment
of bond subscriptions are reflected In the
heavy decreases In ull Items of the bant
statements. The largo decrease of J13,03tv
200 , In thu actual cash balance Is morn than
accounted for by the diversion of cash
from the banks to the subtreasury on bond
subscriptions. There has been besides n nel
movement to the Interior during the week
The receipts of gold from Europe have nol
been siifllclent during the week to make th <
discrepancy. The drain on cash reserves
has necessitated a contraction on loans ol
JG.778.700 , bringing the decrease in deposits
to J20,487,700 , resulting In a decrease in re.
serve requirements of J5,122,025. There I :
nevertheless n shrinkage In the surplm
reserve of J7.914.275 , cutting down lasl
week s surplus more than half. It car
hardly be said that there Is any dlfflcultj
In obtaining money for business purpose :
or any uneasiness regarding Ihe future o
the money market except In purely specti
Intlvo circles. The measures promised bj
the treasury In anticipating Interest on tin
4 per cents and the redemption of the cur
rency Ca will release about J20.000.06u to the
money market. The more rapid dlstrlbullot
of the new bonds also makes them avail
able for circulation and as security foi
government deposits. The proporllon o
bonds already distributed which are on de
posit In Washington for this purpose I :
surprisingly small and the fact suggest :
that bankers are llttln Inclined to pay tin
existing premium on the bonds to save t ! < i
tension of the money market which bring ;
lileher rates in money.
The condition of the money market ha
restricted tr.insnellons In bonds as well u
stocks and prices are generally | OW T

The Evening Post's financial cnblegran
says :
The flock markets her"1 were qult tocl.i
on the e\c of the gi.tttcmi.nt cxi'pt f. .
mines , which were rampant on operations
by those endeavoring to engineer n bootr
Americans fell In sympathy with New-
York prices , but this market Is above the
parity. Heats here are covering In St. Paul.
Thn money market was llrm on the New
York demand for gold nnd the withdrawal

CATTLR There were not enough cattle
on sale at any of the lurije 111:11 : kets In thu
country to establish prices. There was jne
frenh load of beef cattle here and a load or
two ot feeders and that practically In-
cludeel all the receipts of the day.
This has been low week of the season
In the cattle market , and values ut all
selling points suffered a serious reverse
during the llrst three days. Wednesday
was the low ri.iy and the turning point of
the week. On Thursday and Friday val
ues strengthened up u little , HO tnat at
the clone of the week the market Is not
so very much lower than nt the close of
last week. Good corn feel cattle have sold
well ull the week as compared with prices
paid at other market points , HOIIIO cat-
lle that were forwarded from here having
be 'ii Hold ut lOc less In Chicago than
the South Omaha bid. At the same tlmo
the tendency of the market has been lower
oven on thu best. The very best wentern
grass cattle arei 10Jfl5c lower for the week
and the medium grades 15V-5e. Western
grussers are now not over 4 1T50c low < r
than the high time , though Clui-ugo Is re
porting a decline of 50-u ,5o. The fuel IH
that good cuttle have TTTtn In such moder
ate supply ut this point that prices huvo
held up better than at most other selling
points.
Durinjf the last two days of the week
the faceler market showed considerable
Improvement under the Influence of lighter
receipts and a greatly Increased demand.
Good heavy f ceiling cattle are 10 il5e higher
than on We-dnesday and not over lOc lower
than last week. The common kinds arc
155(26o lower for the week.
The market on cows und heifers went to
pieces on Wednendav , but has since
sttvngtheneel up a little , and Is now about
lOc lower on the beat kinds than lust week ,
but on medium and common kinds It Is still
15ft20c lower. Hepruaentu-tlve sales :

today , with no material change of any Im
portance. The receipts were the llghtesl
of the week with tlm exception of Monday -
day , and as the demand was good , the pen :

the case yesterday , the hogs sold at $3.65ji (
3.75 , with the bulk at J3.65fr3.70. U will b <

the lowest point touched since last January
From that day the market gradually re
covered and at the close of the week th (
market Is Gc higher than It was on Mon
day and a , shade higher than It WUB nl

SHKBP There were no fresh receipts or
sale today to make a test of the market
The receipts have been the largest for th <

though lower , has been In very satlsfuctorj
eondlllon us compared with other markets
The general tendency of the market or
killers , both sheep and lambs , lias bent
downward , und value's are now In manj
cases 25c lowetr than a week ago. U take. '
good western sheep to bring It , and 1
Is hard work to get western lambs thai

While muttons have been on the dowr
grade , faedeirs have been active and fullj
steady nil the week. The demand IH ac
live and all arrivals have met with readj
sale at price * entirely witisfuctory to tin

I are such good buyers gives holders of fa
