Wliolmnle District Slinrri Ailvnnce
lu To inn toe * mill Clicciio the
Feature ut Present.
Tr.ide with Omaha jobbers and retailers
continues to ba most promising , The
thousands of strangers that are pouring
Into the city all scorn to Irnvo come for
business as well na for pleasure. This 19
best observed In the jnblilnR district , where
ordinarily few strangers arc seen , but now
the wholesale houses are crowded from
morning1 till night with customers , Never
before , liavo local jobbers hud such a house
trade as during the last few weeks and a
still larger run Is expected for October.
Retailers also come In for their share of
the patronage , as It Is seldom a person
visits n city without experiencing the need
of new supplies. But It Is by no means
the visitors alone who nro creating a good
demand , as homo consumption In Itself Is
Bulllclcnt to make nn actlvo market. The
clearing house reports are the best evi
dence poaHlbio that llttlo Is to bo desired
by the business men of this city.
I.iirue Country SlilpincntN.
As Is usually the case at this season of
the year the wholesale grocery trade of
this city has assumed very satisfactory
proportions. Orders for shipments of fail
stocks nave been Increasing for some tlmo
and now goods are being rushed Into the
country as rapidly as possible. The mar
ket on nearly all lines Is Jlrm and Homo
heavy advances have taken place. I'rlccs
on both corn and tomatoes , particularly on
the , latter , are being Quoted considerably
higher than a woc-k ago. The dry , hot
weather of the last few weeks throughout
the east , as well as In Indiana , southern
Illinois and Missouri , has burned the tomato
mate vines to such an extent that rains
will not help them nor frost hurt them.
In Maryland the crop was perhaps dam
aged the worst , where It Is reported the
Slacking season lasted only three weeks.
As a result o this general short crop the
market Is considerably higher , with Indi
cations for a sharp advance by the llrst
of the year. Cheese , bucauso of Increased
liomo consumption as well as a growing
foreign demand , made another udvanca
last week. with indications pointing to still
higher prices for October stocks. Sugar , on
the other hand , is fulling off. This de
cline , however , of l-Sl-16c | was not un
expected , as the season of heavy consump
tion Is now practically over. Th& market
on California products shows but llttlo
change with the exception ot quotations
on evaporated upplt-j and dried lima beans.
lioth are higher. New California Muscatel
raisins are expected In this market within
the next week or ten days , and it Is said
the outlook for a. large crop of the boot
quality is very encouraging unless ralna
prevail In the raisin districts within the
next month.
Local hardware Jobbers as usual , are
well pleased with the condition of trade.
They say the general tone of the market
Is Ilrm and the demand good. In fact , they
are of the opinion that consumption Is
running u llttlo ahead of production as
there is considerable scarcity In nearly all
lines of fall goods. A prominent jobber
in this connection said It used to be possi
ble for mills to shut down when conditions
were such that manufacturing was not
profitable and then start up again perhaps
years afterward when conditions were
more favorable. That , however , is Impossi
ble now ns the modes of manufacturing
nro so changed that the old mills are
worthless and cannot help out In a tlmo
like this when consumption Is rapidly in
creasing. Before production can bo ma
terially Increased new mills have to bo
built and lltted with modern machinery.
The shortage in fall stocks this season Is
noticed , particularly In the supply of stove-
boards , which advanced 10915 per cent last
week. Owners of sheet mills say they have
not had as much business In hand since
1892 , which goes to show that the hard
ware trade In general Is In a very satis
factory condition. The market on wire
and nails Is firm and actlvo at the advance -
vance reported a week ago. The rope
market , however. Is gradually weakening ,
but no quotable change Is yet reported.
Dry Cumin
There Is little of Interest to report this
week concerning the dry goods trade. The
market remains unchanged but local Job
bers still say they are having the largest
run of business they have ever experi
enced. The house trade continues to bo an
Important factor and doubtless will bo still
more so this week , and In fact throughout
the month of October on account of the
largo number of strangers that will bo In
the city to attend the exposition. Fall
Blocks are now being shipped to nil parts
of the west as raplldy ns possible ami
every cool day makes country merchants
more anxious to get their supplies anO
bring In a now lot of rush orders.
The boot and shoo situation Is also prac'
tlcully unchanged , but for all that Jobbers
are well satisfied. The volume ot trade > sc
inr this year shows considerable Improve
ment over last season with Indications
pointing to still farther expansion. Trade
Kenorally speaking , is good with countrj
merchants , so they are buying more fullj
than for some tlmo past and apparent ! )
liavo llttlo anxiety regarding future do.
mand. llubbers are also In good request
more eo , in fact , than anticipated. Many 01
the local dealers are overc(5 ( > wdod with or
flors and have all they can do to supplj
their customers. Stocks in some cases hav <
already begun to run low and addltlona
supplies are being rushed here from th <
fast. Taking all things Into conskleratlor
local dealers have little to complain of.
Lumber merchants have about the s am <
report to make ns was given out a. wool
ago. The situation is best described by tin
word quiet , and dealers generally are noi
looking for much Improvement In the neai
future. Country retailers say there Is bui
llttlo doing , and as practically all of then
are stocked up heavier than usual it 1 :
dinicult for local Jobbers to see how the ;
arc going to get anything more than scat
terlng orders for odds and ends.
Fruit * mill 1'roiluvc.
Trade last week was not as satisfactory ti
commission men as It has been during tht
creator part of the year. Their explanation
Is that fruits are bocomlng more scarce am
consequently there is llttlo to sell exccp
the regular staple lines. A few Callfornli
crapes and pears are still on the market
but they will soon be gone. Poaches ar
also practically out of the markflt , but wlm
few are left bring from 95c to $1. Ohio , a
well as native grapes , will probably be ou
of the market by the end of the week , leav
ing practically only the New York grapes
A few New York grapes hava already beei
received , but us they are held at from IB
to ICe and natives at from 13c to 13V4c It I
Impossible to do much with them at pros
ent. Cantaloupes are also becoming ver
rcarce. One more car , U Is reported. Is oi
the road , which will about close the sea
ton. Cratfs are quoted at Jl.75. The qualtf
of the apples received Is steadily improving
Jonathans nre now on the market and ar
celling at J3.50. The supply of potatoes u
present .Is excessive. Commission mei
Bay they have morn than they know wlm
to do with. The market Is quoted at 3&ff40c
Eggs are now quoted Ilrm at 14c. Dealer
nro expecting a big city demand next wecl
nnd as receipts are rather light and th
loss heavy It Is not difficult to keep th
prlco up. Poultry Is also firmer than i
week ago. Spring chickens ore bringing 7 > ,
< R8e pnd hens 7Sf7c. The receipts of gam
nre quite liberal for this tlmo of the year
but there seems to bo no home market
There Is , however , a good shipping demand
Tilt butter market Is also firm at the ad
Vance.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Wheat Market is Weak and Trading
Excessively Dull ,
CHICAGOANS TAKE DAY OFF FROM BUSINESS
Provldlon Market ronturclrmfi , Partly
on Account of Grain , AVhluli Suf-
fcm from Ilciiortm of
Heavy Ilccclpti.
CHICAGO , Oct. 1. Enormous receipts ol
wheat at primary western points Increas
ing Russian offerings and estimates ol
large crops hero nnd abroad were at the
bottom of the weakness shown by wheat
today. Besides trading was excessively
dull. December closed at I4o decline. Corn
and oats were stagnant , each market de
clining about l-8c In sympathy with wheat.
Provisions were weak , partly on account ot
grain and partly on the Independent fea
tures , closing l@5o down.
The opening In wheat was at a slight ad
vance over yesterday's closing price , De
cember starting at 62G-8c. The Improve
ment waa apparently due to Bradstrect's
figures on the week's exports , which were
put at 5,307,000 bushels , compared with
5,025,000 bushels the previous week. This
had caused a strong curb market yester
day , and the strength was still noticeable
at today's opening. Shorts were moderate
buyers for a short time after the start ,
buying being heavy enough to cause a fur
ther slight advance , December getting to
62 ic , and holding for a time at that fig-
ure. Then the market slowly began to
weaken , and for the rest of the short ses
sion , the trend of prices was steadily
downward. There was plenty of news of a
bearish tenor , but trading was so ex
tremely dull , many of the most prominent
brokers having gone to Omaha to witness
the peace festivities at the exposition that
the decline was very gradual.
Northwest receipts were heavy , Minne
apolis and Duluth reporting 1,277 cars ,
against 1,091 cars last week and 1,183 cars
a year ago. Chicago receipts were 51(5 (
cars , 30 of contract quality. Primary re
ceipts for the day were 1,692,000 bushels ,
which were largely In excess of last year.
Atlantic port clearances , exclusive of New
port News and gulf ports , amounted to
625,000 bushels. Brokers reported an al
most entire absence of cash bids at any
thing approaching a working basis. Liver
pool was % d lower for futures , though
spot wheat was unchanged. London re
ported freer offerings of Russian wheat ,
This , with foreign estimates of Russian
and the world's crop report , both of which
wore very heavy , deepened the depression
In the local market. The Orange Judd
Farmer estimate of 700,000,000 bushels as
the United States crop also helped to push
prices downward. The market became vcrj
heavy toward the close , demand almost
dying out. December sold down to C2c
and closed at 62621-Sc.
There was very little trade In corn and
prices changed very little. The fecllnn
was easy , principally through sympathy
with wheat. Cash demand was slow. Re
ceipts were 849 cars. Clearances were mod
erate. Country offerings were on a small
scale. December ranged from 29 3-8Z29V4c
to 29'ic , and closed l-8c lower at 23Uc.
The market for oats was stagnant , the
pit at times being almost deserted , Prices
were Influenced by wheat and corn and
averaged a llttlo lower. Elevator people
were sellers of May. Receipts were 45S
cars. There was no cash inquiry. May
ranged from 22 6-Sc to 22 3-Sc , and closed
a shade lower at 22 3-8@22' c.
Provisions were dull and heavy. The
opening was lower on yellow fever news
and heavy lard deliveries , and a still fur
ther decline resulted In sympathy with
wheat , the market closing about bottom
figures. Packers bought sparingly of ribs ,
At the cloao January pork was 15o lower al
J9.0JIJ ; January lard lOc lower at J4.S5 and
January ribs lOc lower at J4.67 .

( o llnvc Downward TciidiMicy.
NEW YORK. Oct. 1. The stock market
during today's short session gave striking
evidence that the power of the bear faction
had not diminished In effecting lower prices.
The break In Tobacco was the more sen
sational In view of the half holiday. No
new developments concerning the specula
tion In this stock were announced and the
bears pursued the same diligent tactics Unit
have been responsible for the tremendous
drop this week. New spots of weakness
have appeared every day , and today' devel
opment was Consolidated Gas. Competition
of the electric lighting companies and a
rival gas plant furnished the basis for a
break of 6Vfe points.
The railway list had an Interval of
strength , but the Influence of the specialties
was too overpowering and loss > es resulted.
The bank statement exceeded the favorable
expectations , and Its publication checked
the break , In a discussion of the financial
developments of the week the Industrial
group must liavo first consideration. The
pyrotechnlcal movements of these stocks
disturbed general confidence nnd this con
dition found expression In nn enormous liq
uidation of all classes of securities. Rumors
regarding the status of Industrial properties
were circulated freely and the operations
by the bear faction were conducted with
marked brilliancy. Influential speculative
Interests apparently worked together to cre
ate demoralization among holders and re
ports of bad faith between Interested cliques
was one of the causes for the spasmodic
attacks In various quarters. Liquidation In
the group was uninterrupted throughout
and the volume of stop orders reached ex
ceeded any previous outpouring. AVeakly
margined accounts wore swept away nnd
banking Institutions In some teases took ex
ception to the Industrials as collateral for
loans. Difficulty In protecting holdings
necessarily caused sacrifices of the standard
railway stocks nnd the advantage secured
by the bears In this connection was re
sponsible for the curtailment of the out
side demand. Monetary conditions also ex
erted an Important bearing on the course ol
the market , and althoUKh apprehension as
to stringency was considerably allayed the
occasional flurries that occurred unsettled
speculation. Tobacco was the dominant fea
ture and the deluge of stocks which ac
companied the break colored reports that
Inside Interests were unloading.
Gossip had It that the recent Jump above
150 was for the purpose of squeezing a
powerful short Interest nnd now that flic
Incident was clored the downward course
received acquiescence from the manipula
tive Interests In control. The numerous
coups that have been affected In this spe
cialty since Its Introduction to the stock
market has chilled public dealings and re-
dOccd trading to the more during profes
sionals. The magnitude of the trading In
the specialties naturally served to promote
a sympathetic tendency In the railroad list ,
but developments therein Included many
favorable reports which stemmed the trad-
Ing. Standard issues exhibited remarkable
selling powers and moved Independently at
Intervals. But the persistent raids else
where robbed the momentary advantages.
Then followed a systematic attack and It
diverted from one stock to the entire In
dustrial group.
Advances for the week ranged up to 35
points In Tobaoco , New York Air Brake ,
Manhattan , Cotton Oil and Leather In this
order. Covering elsewhere occasioned un
steadiness. Holders of Industrial securities
were alarmed during the campaign as
knowledge regarding the next point of at
tack was not available , and the province
of the Interests engaged in the movemenl
Impelled conservative operators to with
draw on thn first Indication of weakness.
Railway earnings embracing nil the leadIng -
Ing lines were in the main encouraged , bul
returns from some sections showed heavj
decreases , owing to well known conditions
The policy of effecting Improvements Increased -
creased the ratio of operating expenses , bul
this action will permit a radical reductior
In operating charges later on. Foreign am'
state politics were discussed to a consider
able extent. This * proved to be a back log
an the position abroad to purchase securl
ties In face of the depression of the loca
market secured some Industrial dfmand.
A continuance of the business expanslor
which Is particularly marked In some llnei
was considered a fair barometer of thi
general situation. The steady Increase Ii
westbound traffic on the leading lines offsc
the light grain movement. The latter clr
cumstance must eventually be remedied bj
Increased movement on higher wheat price :
or forced shipments. Belated borrowers o
call money had to pay as high as 6 pei
cent for accommodations , but this rate wa ;
only temporary. Average rates were 3 anc
4 per cent and tlmo funds nnd dlsroun
rates were decidedly easier. Shipments o
currency to the Interior showed a notabli
decrease , and the available funds in thi
market were Increased by the gold arrival
and anticipatory Interest payments by thi
government.
The bond market moved In sympathy will
stock fluctuations nnd showed more ac
tlvlty on the money conditions' . Govern
ment bonds were remarkably well heli
throughout the week , concessions belm
confined to H per cent In the 2s and 1-8 01
the. 3s and 4s.
The Evening Post's London financial nn
blcgram says : "Tho stock markets heri
were lifeless today , except Grand Trunl
nnd mines. The former wns coed on thi
mcnthly statement showing a big ? avlnp Ii
working oxnonses. Americans were dull 01
the New York lead. Investment stock :
were better on cheap money. There HP
fnlnt Indications of a revival nf public In
tcrest In Americans. Whether It will develop
velop depends entirely on politics. Tlv
London market dlwnunt rates Is 2 3-8 DO
cent. Thn supply of bills presented for dls
count Is scarce , which causes ease In tlm
money. "

HOGS Today's receipts of hogs were
llttlo above the average for a Saturday tli
month , but the market was favorable ttf tl
sellers. Yesterday's provision market was
llttlo stronger , and under that Influence tl
market on live hogs opened this mornli
strong to Cc higher. The trade was reas'oi
ably aotlve , so that the most of the ho |
changed hands early. Later on , however , i
some of the more urgent orders wore fllli
and aa Chicago came closing lower the ma
ket cased off and closed with the morning
strength lost. The hogs sold at $3.65
3.80 , with the long string at $3.70. Ycste
day the hogs brought $3.65(33.75 ( , with tl
bulk at J3.GBfi3.G7 .
This has been a week of large hog r
celpts , the run being above the average , i
will bo noted from the report of week
receipts given above At the same time tl
arrivals have been none too largo to su ;
ply the requirements of the market , at
on most days the trade has been actlv
The course of values during the flrst half
the week was gradually downward , whl
during the latter part there was an equal
Blow recovery. At the close the prices wo
only a shade lower than they were on Moi
day , but the average for the whole wei
was considerably under what was paid tl
week before. Representative sales ;
