CARTY is GAINING IN ALL DISTRICTS U'lilril , rmirtli null I'lflli Clvr Very Uucniirncliiir SlKiin unit liven the HUlh Mit- Decline to Keliirn Itlll ( ireene tu LINCOLN' , Sept. -fSpeclal. . ) Cheering news comes from over thu state regarding the progress of the republican campaign. Wherever sprerhes have been made by re publicans there has been good attendance nnd much enthusiasm , while the popocrats are being greeted with small crowds nnd little Inturost. These Indications point to republican HiicreaH. The fuslonlsts nro al ready finding excuses by saying that If their ticket Is defeated It will bo by the etay-at-homc voters. Reports from the Fourth and Fifth dis tricts received by the rfcpubllcan state com mittee within the last three days are especially pleasing , and It Is believed that Norrls Is making good headway In the Third , and In neither of these districts are the legislative tickets being neglected. In the First nnd Second republican victory Is conceded , nnd the 'general belief Is that the result of the Joint debates In the Sixth means the defeat nnd retirement of Bill Greene. A private letter received hero yes terday from a gentleman at Rushvllln gives n good Idea of the Brown-Greene Joint de bates. The writer says : The debate hero was largely attended nnd tn the matter of arguments , facts nnd ac curacy Mr. Brown hail the decided advan tage of Greene. At the Bamo time Mr. Grecnu'B style Is taking to the general run of the average populist. Personally I have a supreme contempt for Bill Greene and look upon him as a demagnguo of the most , pronounced type. The debate was suggestive of comedy , with Ilrown for the hero and Greene for the clown. This In the second time I have heard Grccno and hn does not Improve on ac quaintance. He rushed from aides to side , yelled at the top of hla voice , repeating Brown's name vociferously , shaking his fcrcflngcr nnd wagging nnd shaking his head till the sweat rolled from his face. Ho was Inaccurate , sarcastic ami tried to cover up his defeat by ridiculing his uppo- r.cnt rather than answering him. Brown , on the other hand , was calm , collected , dig- nlllcd , backing his statements by author ities , and when he wanted to bu emphatic was so without appearing an acrobat. He several times scored Greene on his Inaccu racy and turned the laugh on him moro than once. I havu since hoard that Brown has done lietter nt Chndron than he did hern so much so that the populists are disappointed In Greer.o and that n few more days like the ono he had nt Chadron will bring on a eovero attack of the tonsllltls. I have spoken to several populists and republicans I and Greene Is voted not the man ho was two years ago. Ai the same time I believe be hns still some Influence with the moro Ignorant class of voters , for the simple rea- eon that ho Is amusing. Day nt tin * Kctnilon. The reunion program today was an Inter esting ono and the attendance on the grounds was good. A the afternoon meetIng - Ing Judge M. L. Hayward was tbo principal speaker and his address breathed with a eplrit of patriotism that enthused all his hearers. He made some Interesting compar isons between the two last wars engaged in Iiy this country and declared that each was * fought In a manner characteristic of the great American people. Ho deprecated the criticisms that are being hurled at the War department Its.conduct of the war and eald that the rank and I'.lc ' of the volunteers who went to the front have no complaint to make except that they did not all get to face the enemy. Other speakers of the afternoon were Cap tain C. E. Adams nnd T. J. Majors. At the campllro held this evening the talks by General Thayer and Colonel Kelly were the features of the program. It Is expected that If the weather Is good tomorrow will bo one of the best days of the reunion. Louie Meyer , for many years a respected citizen of Lincoln , died yesterday at the Hospital for the Insane , when : ho was taken for treatment about threj years ago. For ten years ho wao ono of the leading business men of the city , dealing In general merchan dise and doing a private banking business for n large number of people living In the country. During the financial crisis several years ago Mr. Meyer , like many others , was unable to call In all his resources and consequently went down before the united demands of the people for whom ho had loaned money. This trouble so wore upon Ills mind that It was found necessary to rcmovo htrn to the hospital for treatment in the winter of 1895.

CONSUMERS' ' HEAVY DEMAND Present High Pressure of Orders Dun Thinks Cannot Continue. WHEAT MOVES FREELY AND PRICES UP ( lint I'orolcii Doinninl Will He Smaller nnil thr American Crop I.nrKc-r Wool nnil Iron Trnilr. NEW YORK. Sept. 16. n. 0. Dun & Co.'s Wct'kly Review of Trade will say tomorrow : Huslniss Is tasslng through the difficulties that attended the winding up of n war , which are generally greater than those In volved while war Is In progress. The rush of orders kept back while war lasted by those who thought it shrewd not to take any chances has lifted prices a little and caused n larger demand for the time than can con tinue , but though It has passed there Is evi dence that the consuming demand Is very large. How large can only be Judged after some weeks of uniting. Uut once more It looks as If those who wnlt longest are likely to pay most. The I business of the country Is expanding so that I payments through clearing houses In the I I second week In September were 22.B per cent i larger than In 1892. and for this week 12 per cent larger. Krom these nnd railway returns , nnd such trade reports us are In structive It must be concluded that mucn more business Is being done than In the best part or past years , though not always with much profit. Wheat has come forward much more freely and the prlre has advanced 2 cents. It Is supposed that the advance Is largely due to- milling demand coming up In n narrow sup ply. Exports arc large , 3,007i76 ! bushels. Hour Included , from Atlantic and' 201,090 bushels from Pacific ports , nnd for two weeks 5,567,320 bushels for both coasts , against 10,076.593 last year. Receipts of wheat for two weeks of Sep tember have been 14,663,895 bushels , against 14.697,106 last year. The foreign demand will bo smaller and the American cropb larger than last year. The slight yielding j In corn was due rather to the government report , which Is not entirely discredited as to that report , than to any change In move ment , which has been Email compared with lust year. The exports for two weeks have been 4,513,143 bushels , against 45,075,363 last year. Iron Trmlf , With the starting of nineteen furnaces Idle n month ago , partly not Included an yet , the weekly output September I was 213,043 tons , against 206,777 August 1 , and the decrease In stocks 116,929 tons In two months in.il 1- cntes a consumption but little below 1,000- 000 tons per month. Structural work Is the heaviest over known at I'lttsburg. thougli smaller than last year at New York. Bar mills arc crowded with the general railway demand for automatic couplers and orders for new cars , 800 for one road and a large order for street cars to Japan , and plnte mills ire everywhere crowded. The demand for pipe Is the largest for a long time and also for boiler tubes , and the sheet mills are crowded west of 1'nlladelphla , while the foundry consumption Is heavy nnd the rail mills not yet ready to accept orders which they cannot deliver for months , being en gaged far nhead. Southern pig has been sold for export , 30,000 tons In all , Including 15,000 to Scotland , and orders for 15,000 more have been received. Lead Is at 4c and cop per at 12'/4c , and spelter $4.80 In spite of a sensational rise at London. Heavy sales nhead have blocked the project for a tlnplate trust at present. Important cotton mills have stopped and print cloths hold 2.6c. with other cotton goods unyielding , but cheap material Binders operations for those who have to sell goods made from higher-priced cotton. Woolen mills represent rather better order , although much machinery Is Idle , those who have net old wool bidding much below the current prices , which arc to far maintained that tales for two weeks have been only 6,635,300 pounds , against 36,629,400 last year and 17,015,100 In the same weeks of 1892. It Is worthy of notice that 350,000 pounds Australian wool was sold at Boston for ship ment to Europe. While the mills cannot buy at present prices , except for mixture with rlber wools , nrany Insist , Just as they did eight months DEO , that the old stocks must bo about exhausted.

Bradntrect's to morrow will say : Reports of still further enlarged distribu tion at most western market * and of slight Improvement at eastern centers where the demand has been dower to materialize , en larged foreign dnrnnnd for breadstuff , In creased railway earnings not entirely due to the swelling movement of grain to mar ket which , Indeed , Is still behind last year's records ; bank clearings Increased over last Wfek and over all corresponding weeks ex cept a year ago , when speculation was very active ; rather better than expected govern ment crop reports nnd enlarging exports of American manufacturers , are all features tondlng to make the trade situation at pres ent n notable one. Crop Impairment In August , not unusual , or unexpected , proves to have been lss than i feared and average conditions of leading j crops , notably wheat , corn , cotton nnd pota toes , are better than ono year gn. Opera tive In Inducing the proved foreign doniand for our wheat and flour , perhaps , has been . a tendency to shade early estimates of the ' world's wheat crop this yonr , some figures being at low as 2,500,000.000 bushels , which , while larger than lnt year , Is still below that of 1S94. This , with the low rate of the world's wheat supplies and the slower than expected movement from American farmers' hands to leading markets , has Increased the premium on cash wheat nnd nervous sellers of September delivery have covered , with the result of advancing prices. The continued rise In ocean freight rates Is taken to confirm reports of larga export sales. The quieter appearance of the Iron trade is confined strictly to new business , because mills are still fully provided with orders and , In spite of a slight Increase In production , stocks of pig Iron arc smaller , pointing to a heavy consumptive demand. The heavy export demand for southern Iron noted one week ago still continues. The wholesale demand for lumber continues un- dlmlnlshod In spite of some complaint from retailers. Export trade , as a whole , con- I'inues very satisfactory , the August total swotted by larger shipments of cotton , pro visions and manufactured goods generally , being larger than August one year ago by 47 per cent , notwithstanding a heavy de crease In shipments of breudstuffs. Import "trado " as yet shows no particular expansion nnd for the eight months our exports are S2 per cent } In excess of Imports. Unfavorable trade features are few and presented chiefly In the textile manufacturing trades , but here it is hoped that , the large distribution of dry goods this fall will soon be reduced. Wheat shipments for the week reflect an enlarged foreign demand for American whoa ! " nnd tlour , aggregating 3,22.,321 bushels , as against 3,100.208 bushels last week ; 6,289,948 bushels In the corresponding week one year ago , 3,366,326 bushels In 18 % , 2,538.085 bush els In 1893 , and 3,537,283 bushels In 1894. Since July 1 this year exports of wheat ag gregate 36,169,091 busheFs , against 44,601,700 bushels last year. Corn exports for the week arc considerably smaller than Inat week's heavy total , atrgre- gatlng 2,331,005 bushels , against 3,808,869 bushels last week , 3,901,092 bushels In this week of 1897 , 2,891.787 bushels In 1890 , 1.605- 99S bushels In 1895. and 145,301 bushels In 1891. Since July 1 , t'hls year , exports of corn aggregate 300,738,875 bushels , against 34,377,849 bushels during the corresponding period last year. Business failures for the week number 173 , against 142 last week , 164 In this week a year ago , 315 In 1896 and 218 In 1893. Canadian failures for the week number 20 , against 17 fast week , 36 In this week a year ago , 41 In 1896 and 1895 , and 43 In 1894. nnviisw OF TIIK STOCK MAHKKT. Exported T > l lurlniiicc 111 Money Ilnton Affect * I'rlt'FN Opin-mlly. NEW YORK , Sept. 16. Brndstreefs Fi nancial Review tomorrow will say : Prices have reflected the changing opinion of the speculative market as to the prospects of n disturbance ( n money. In the early part of the week the bank statemeut of last Saturday and the expectation that the continued drawing of money into the treas ury would result In a contraction of loans , ccu od more or des's liquidation by bullluh speculators and gave an opportunity for bear operators to attack prices. The failure of Interest , rates to advance to figures in dicative of a scarcity of funds tended , how ever , to throw doubts on this view , 'vhlle the decline ofl exchange , the engagement of $1,600,000 gold In London for Import , the Increase by the New York banks of their ro\ eminent deposits nnd the fact that loans were being shifted from New York to other cities contributed to create an easier feeling about , the money market , which on Wednes day and Thursday caused a sharp rally In prices. On Friday the rise continued and was h3lped by the engagement for import of about $1,000,000 more gold. In the la'ter part of the day. however , the exceptional weakners of American sugar stock brought about a general reaction. The attitude of the secretary of the treas ury In declining to consider that the New- York money market exhibited symptoms of pressure Indicative of serious derangement of business or calling for action by the treasury had no doubt a share In bringing the stock market to Its senses at n tlmo when speculators wcro Inclined to believe In the possibility of a sharp Hurry In In terest rates. This has not occurred and the highest quotation for call loans has been 5 tier cent , with the bulk of Wall street borrowing on securities at fully 1 per cent lower. Besides the fact that nn advance ef rates would brlns gold from abroad , prob i ably In large amounts , It Is recognized that the heavy payments for the new government bonds are nearly finished and that nn ex tremely unfavorable bank statement today is unlikely. This has led to a covering of the traders' short sales put out early In the week and hns probably Induced more or less ' repurchasing by Interests which sold stocks on fear of tight money , while It seems . alsd to have led to renewed support by j cliques and large operators In their special- | tlceLondon's action In our market has been a feature.

"I never knew that so many people were fond of grapes , " remarked Peter Youngers , superintendent of the Nebraska horticul tural exhibit , as he stood on the west steps of the Horticulture bull-ling yesterday mornIng - Ing and watched people file Into the build ing to receive the grapes which Nebraska was giving away. It was Nebraska Grape day at the ex position , nnd It seemed as though everybody - | body wanted to sample the fruit. The rush set In ns soon as the grounds opened yes- j terday morning , nnd It continued until night. There were 5,000 baskets of the fruit , which was put up In sacks six sacks to the basket so that It Is easy to figure that there were enough for 30.000 people , providing each received a sack , and most of them who were upon the grounds did. All the grapes were raised In the state and were sent In by the growers. Having been received the night before , they were fresh and In prime condition , and the general verdict Is that they were good enough for anybody. The grape day originated come mon hs ago when It was proposed to have all of the states exhibiting fruit Join forces nnd make It an occasion when every state could he given the proper credit. None of the states , however , saw fit to come In , nnd rather than have It a failure. Superintendent Youngors decided that the name should be changed to Nebraska Orapo day and Ne braska would furnish the grapes and receive all of the credit. Nebraska did furnish the grapes nnd the affair was n success In every sense of the word. Speaking of the other states not assisting In furnishing the fruit and then the repre sentatives saying that they Vere not In vited to participate , Superintendent Young ers remarked : "As soon as It was decided to have a grape day , notices were served on all of the superintendents In charge of the state horticultural exhibits , Inviting them to Join with Nebraska. We waited ns long ns possible and as none of them , signified their willingness to take part , we ! saw that unless we took hold and did all of the work , the alTalr would be n failure. Not being people out here who allow fail ures to occur , wo concluded to show the easterners and the representatives of the other , tranemlsslsslppl states what we could do , nnd I guess now that we have suc ceeded In showlns them. We have shown them that the Nebraska grapes ore the best In the world , nnd that they are Just as abundant and free as they are good. " The arrangement for giving out the grapes was perfect. People who wcro grape hungry entered the west door of the Horticulture ticulture building , passed up to the Ne braska tables , received their sacks of grapes and then turned to the left , passIng - Ing out through the side door. Those who did not want grapes , simply followed the aisles and went on , examining the ex hibits , the delivery of the grapes not In- 'tcrferlng with tholr examination. On ac count of the arrangement the doors of the building were not littered , as no grapes were allowed to be eaten until the people bad passed outside. I.Ire StocU ShiMv Outlook. Commissioner Ulnsmore of the Bureau of Live Stock Is enthusiastic over the exhibi tion of llvo stock I'll at is to be mmlo Oc tober 3-20 and predicts that It wilf be the best show of Its kind ever held In the United States. The barns for housing the stock are about finished. Nearly all that' remains to be done Is to lay some of the water pipes and do n little grading. Speaking of the barns he said : "They are the best that I have ever seen outside of places where permanent barns arn erected for showing stock. If the animals some up ro the de scriptions Indicated by the entry blanks , the exhibit will bo far superior to that made at the World's Fair. " Secretary C. R. Thomas of the Hereford Breeders' association -was In from Kansas CIS/ yesterday and took a look nt the grounds and the barns. Before leaving he said : "It promises to be a great show j and win bring together the best lot of cat- tie , hoises , sheep and hogs ever seen In this country. " IlnnlolM nil tlu > Kxi George H. Daniels , general passenger agent of the New York Central railroad and one of the most sagacious of eastern railway officials , has recently returned to New York after a trip through a large part of the western country. In an Interview ho declares that the western country Is In excellent condition commercially nnd nddq that the Omaha exposition will be the most successful exhibition of Its kind since the Centennial. "The condition of the farmers In Hint country , " said Mr. Daniels , "is excellent. TIft y have lots of money nnd they arc spend ing It judiciously. The easUrn lines , no doubt , will make very low rates to Omah.i during tlic next two months. 1 expect a very large crowd will go to the exposition from this state. " In the same Interview Mr. Daniels made particular reference to the various Jrlbes of Indians that have been mobilized nt the exposition. He said that this generation , or any succeeding generation , would never see a greater gathering of Indians nnd this feature was alone worth a visit to the grounds.

Not until Monday will the Nebraska fruit exhibit lit the Horticulture building be In its normal condition. The exhibit of the Ne braska Horticultural society , the Grape day fca.'ivltics nnd fastly , the r.lvlng away of pear hr * to the children today , hns resulted In the regular exhibit being sidetracked to pome extent. Next Monday morning , how ever , the tables will be covered with fruit , fresh from the Nebraska orchards and vine yards and the f.Uih's will ngaln take on their old-tlnui attractive appearance. Yesterday In speaking of the Nebraska fruit exhibit Superintendent Youngers said : "Next week we will make a better showing In the way of fruit than at1 any previous tlmo durng the exposition. Everything on the tables wll be new and we will furnish the most conclusive evidence that this Is the greatest fruit growing state In the union , not excepting those of the Pacific stope or ! the mountain districts of the west. So fur wo have been showing nil kinds of fruits in their season and from now on we propose to continue doing the same , only that In the future wo are going to show greater varie ties. Our late fruit Is just maturing and It Is as line ns was ever seen. Much of It we will have upon the tables next week. " Yesterday the Illinois tables were cleared of all the old fruit and that received fresh from the orchards was substituted. To re- ne\v the stock requires thirty bushels. While the greater portion of the Illinois exhibit Is made up of nppfes nnd pears , many line grapes , quinces nnd peaches are shown. Treasurer Stanton of the State Horticultural society , who Is now at homo looking after supplies for the exhibit , writes Superintendent Harriett : that the crop Is much better than was anticipated some weeks ago. and that It will be up to the average in quantity. Ho says that ho baa arranged to have large quantities of fruit sent on for the exhibit. Superintendent Drlscoll , In charge of the Idaho fruit exhibit , Is opening correspond ence with a number of the large fruit grow ers in the state from which ho conies and Is advising them to send on largo quantities of fhcir products. Many favorable replies are being received and all of them promise that nt no time shall the exhibit be allowed to run low. Superintendent Drlscoll says already the exhibit has proved to be a good Investment , nnd that by showing the Idaho frulr , he has succeeded In opening a market that hns hitherto been unknown to the grow ers of the state. Oregon keeps the pace It set some weeks ago. Prior to that tlmo Superintendent Courtney wrote homo nnd told the fruit growing people of the state he represents that In order to make a creditable showing In the contest , he must have plenty of fruit , and that with great ) regularity. Most of thu people responded , and since that tlmo he has been able to keep the exhibit filled. Dur ing the last two days ho lias received largn quantities of new apples , Hungarian and Italian prunes , plums , peaches and pears. lie has advices that the crop In Oregon Is large nnd Vhat many of the growers arc In tending to push their market much farther cast than ever before. Yesterday Superintendent Wilson of the Los Angeles county exhibit received a con signment of pomegranate * , Cornish. Muscat. Flaming , Tokny and Black Hnmbcrg grapes. together wlrh Bartlctt pears and peaches. The pomegranates and some of the grapes wcro new to the exhibit and were looked upon with much Interest. Aliniiiloneil. JEFFERSON CITY. Mo. . Sept. 1C. ( Spe cial Telegram. ) Missouri day at the Omaha exposition has been abandoned for good.

The railroads offered to make the desired rate , but satisfactory arrangements could not be made with the St. Louis people and today President Stcrrltt of the Missouri exposition commission noti fied Secretary Carroll that the day had been abandoned altogether.
