THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY , OCTOBER 10 , 1808. INDUSTRIAL LIST ACTIVE Bales of These Stocks Constitute Largo Proportion of Transactions. NO DANGER OF STRINGENT MONEY MARKET Every Indication of it I.OIIR Contin uance of I'roMiorlty G'hccrN the Co in mere I ill AVer III Heavy InijiortntlonN nf Gold. NEW YOnK , Oct. 9. ( Spcclal.-Hcnry ) Clews , of the banking house of Henry Clewa * & Co. , wrltrs : In the pccurltlei markets affair * continue to drift along la the easy , oscillating fash ion characteristic of the fall season. Oper ators have retinneil from their summer re action , finding no new conditions or tend encies of striking Importance , but rather a state of reaction from more exciting con ditions occurring during their absence. They find no evidence of a general disposi tion la develop speculative movements , but rather a predominant feeling of Indiffer ence , following extensive realizations and recent apprehensions of a squeeze In the money market nnd an extensive contraction of bank loans. This lack of Interest Is also encouraged by the recent cutting of rates by tbc railroads , the effects of which arc expected to appear In the forthcoming re ports of their net earnings. The falling off In tlio seaboard receipts of grain nnd the Indisposition - disposition of the farmers to sell wheat at present prices also contribute to this Inac tivity. The general commercial movement affords no Btlmulim to the speculative spirit , but rather causes some disappointment. Al though reports from the western sections Indicate a gcnorally healthy condition of business and foreshadow a good aggregate for the fall trade , yet there Is n slowness and hesitation of movement that may be accounted for by the fullnrwn of the stocks of merchandise , which naturally produces n process of day-to-day buying. It turns out that the collapse In the military spirit con sequent upon the close of the war Is accom panied by a corresponding abatement of the speculative spirit ; which , however Illogical It may seem , Is by no means unnatural ; fern n relapse from any great excitement Is apt to be attcndi-d by n general feeling of qui escence. At the moment the general situa tion seems to predispose the speculative In terest to taking n rest. The position does not afford any strong Inducements to cither bulling or bearing operations. The rail road list Is too firm at bottom and bos too much to expect from future earnings to admit of being successfully attacked ; nnd yet current prices do not offer sufficient attraction for buying them for an early rise In the market. Under these circumstances the disposition among the large operators Is to leave this class of securities alone. In the hope that neglect and the sales of tired holders may bring prices to more In- Tltlng figures. Inilnntrlnl Lint Active. In the Industrial lift , however , there Is considerable activity nnd the sales of these constitute a large proportion of the current transactions. The competition between the sugar trust nnd the new Independent re finers le becoming so actlvo as to Induce frco selling of the American Sugar Refining company's chares ; and a hitch between the members of a clique In American Tobacco lias caused extensive selling In that stock. Taking the stock list as a whole , however , prices may bo said to be more than steady , so that a moderate drop In prices would bo quite likely to bring about some revival of buying. Still , a really actlvo market nnd Btlll more a bull boom do not appear to be among the probabilities of the early future. The recent Importations of gold have placed the money market beyond any prob ability of a relapse towards etrlngcncy. Owing to the low rate of sterling exchange at Paris , It has been found possible- ship hither about $2,500,000 of gold from that city on London account ; but there Is ap parently little probability of any further Important Importations of the metal until there Is an actlvo revival of our exports of grain ; and , between the unsettled state of the foreign wheat trade and the unwilling ness of our farmers to market their stocks , that contingency can hardly be said to be within sl ht. In any cose , however , the condition of the local banks has reached a point of plethora In lending power which assures the money market against any dis turbance for the rest of the year , If It does not foreshadow a period of marked ease. For the time being Wall Street Is com- parattvly exempt from political Influences. Possibly there may be In the hidden future diplomatic events that will hove an Im portant bearing on financial Interests , but those chances nro too Indefinite to enter Into < the present calculations ; what Influence they may have applies tcr future rather ( ban present calculations. Situation Sired Up , To sum up the pros and cons of the sltu- ' atlon , wo may cite as Against the market : (1) ( ) The uncertainty no to the Immediate future of the price of tobacco , also sugar , both being leaders of the market on the up as well as the down Bide , necently their Influence has been on the latter side. It Is pretty sure that there will not bo a pronounced up movement lu the market until these two Important prop erties reverse their present action. (2) ( ) The holding back of wheat by the farmers de priving the roads of Immediate very large earnings. (3) ( ) The state elections In No vember. (4) ( ) The decision of the supreme court on the Missouri Transcontinental Traf fic association cnte. liable to bo handed down next Monday or any Monday thereaf ter. (5) ( ) The low price of wheat and cotton , 3 compared with lost year. As favoring the market : (1) ( ) Good railroad earnings , notwithstanding the holding back of wheat by the farmers. (2) ( ) The growing ease of money. (3) ( ) The ability to draw gold from the other side In large amounts when needed , as It Is there now to our credit , us represented by the large trade balance In our favor. (4) ( ) The enthusiastic and proud feeling of the American people as a result of our recent war. (5) ( ) The continued largo exports nnd tbo diminishing Imports. ( C ) Every Indication of a long continuance of prosperity , resulting In the development of our vast territory and unequaled resources. Increasing thereby to a prodlgous extent the . wealth of the nation. A few words of history. Twenty-nine years ago the historical Dlack Friday deal shed Its gloom over Wall Street. The disaster culminated during this corresponding week In 1869. The Gold Exchange closed , the Gold Clearing House bank suspended , and the very spot where the security department of my olflco Is now located Is where the conspiracy was conceived , carried out , nnd collapsed. This very spot was the ofllce ol Smith. Gould & Martin. The Gould of that firm was Jay Oould. Martin died In an In sane asylum. Henry N. Smith still lives out side of the United States In Trenton , N. J. , hut encountered a knockdown blow In the panto of ' 84 , since which he has been lit tle else than n lookeron In Wall Street at- falra. Still the wcrld goes on as though none of these gentlemen had ever existed , Buch Is life. One comes nnd another goes. 'At the present time Wall Street Is undei the Influence of a severe collapse In certain industrial stocks , which It will survive , the eamo as It survived the gold crash , and Wall -Street will remain Juat where It Is not only during our time- , but that of those who como after us. All the large Industrial etocku go up and down through manipula tion. They are all backed by n clique ol bold nnd powerful moneyed men. Wher those people load up with the shares , thei no obstacles can keep them down ; but whet they sell out their holdings they step frorr tinder nnd leave- the market unprotected The room traders then Invariably jumv upon them and pound them down to lo enough prlres to bring the old heads liact ngaln Into them. Sugar Is now going througt this process. A few days flnco It was to bacco ; It broke from 162',4to 113 , nnd with in a few days sugar's top price for thh year was reached'August SO , when It soli up to 146 % . It Is now selling at 113. Lasi year's top price for sugar was 15914 am the lowest 109 K In the month of March It sold still lower til March of this year the price being IOTA Violent financial up Jieavnls will como and go In the future th ( same as In the past history repeats Itsel end wjll never cease to do BO. Fluctua tlons nro the life of trade and are essentta to Its activity. If It Is not gold , tobacco 01 Sugar. It will bo something else , The termi . ' hull" and. "bear , " M applied to operators simply stand for the fighting quality In the human race. It takes antagonism to bring out the greatest forrc of mankind. It Is I the fighting iiucllty of n ninn that Invariably , leads to his Rreatneai. Those who haven't It como Into tlio world and go out of It and are never heard of or remembered. COMMTION OK KK\V YUIUC HAWCS. Kcnr of Complication * In ( lie Money XlnrUnt IH nt nn Hud. NEW YOIIK , Oct. 9. The New York Fi nancier sayi this week ! The change In the statement of the ns- Eoclatcd bnnks of New York , ending Octo ber 8 , can be traced Almost entirely to one or two batiks. Of the expansion of $8,673- 600 In deposits the National City accounts for about $7,000,000 , which was brought about apparently by an Increase of $4.000- 000 In the bank's specie account and a Rain of { 3,000,000 In Its loans. With these fig ures token Into account the week's chances , so far as the remaining banks are con cerned , arc not BO Important. It Is not to be forgotten , however , that ono less bank reports Its clearings this week , the Tradesmen's having suspended. More or less of the tatter's business has gons in to other Institutions , but there Is an elim ination of J3.000.000 In loans and J2.SOO.OOO of deposits , that went to make up the totals last week. Had these been added 'to the current statement , loans would have been shown a much larger In crease. With these facts , the view of the situation becomes more favorable than oth erwise , for new business by the other banks was counteracted bv the loss of the Trades men's. Practically , of course , the results are as stated In the totals , but the Infer ence of better business as shown above Is correct In a limited measure. There Is nothing in the statement that can be con strued unfavorably. The cash reserve Is arger than for the corresponding periods no and two years ago and Is Increasing tcadlly , both from gold Imports nnd trcas- ry disbursements. The loss of $950,100 n legals shows the effect of Interior de mands , the banks having shipped more money than usual lately. Domestic ex- hango at leading centers Is quoted lower nd the withdrawals may continue for some me. Against such losses , however . Is the aln from the sources named. Loan In- reascs , as already shown , were lower than ndlcated. They reflect a very satisfactory ondltlon of business. AH fear of further complications In the money market must be regarded as at on nd and even with a continuing demand In 10 Interior , rates will probably ease off omcwhat from this time on. Depository banks over the country owe the reasury large amounts , but the net bal- nccs , deducting the continued disburse ments over receipts by the government , will o replaced to some extent by new clrcu- atlon. London Money Mitrket. LONDON" . Oct. 9. All the markets last reck were dull nnd Inactive. The dealings ; ere largely left In the hands of profes- lonols. Speculation was limited. The expected realization on certain for- gn and American securities , carried here n German account , tends to depress values nd the complications of foreign politics also Iscourago operators. The whole attitude of he market Is expectant and uncertain. At ho same time there Is no disposition to egard with apprehension the financial and ommcrclal situation In tlie United States.

PentnrcH of the TrnilltiK n l Clo ln I'rlcex on Sntnrilny. CHICAGO , Oct. 8. Board of Trndo markets today were seriously affected by he recent revenue department ruling tax- ng scalping transactions. It caused an nl- most cessation of trading and the dullncns was one of the principal fentures In the ' weakness shown by all markets. Wheat nnd oats closed Vic lower. Corn was a shade under yesterday's price and provisions lost C@10c. | Wheat showed weakness nt the opening. Liverpool failed to respond to the strength shown by this market yesterday. On the contrary It showed l-8ijVid decline nt the close nnd this small decline was reflected by 1-SWVic loss In the December price Here , | that option starting lit C2Q62 ( 7-Sc. Slight selling pressure from longs was sufllclent I to clip another small fraction from the price n few minuted after the opening. De cember selling at 02 5-80C2 > ic. This was In put" prices nnd some buying to protect the privileges gave n firmer tone to the market ind resulted In a slow recovery to 63c. Most of the trading of the day was confined to the Jlrst hour. After that transactions were few and far between. Thq recent In ternal Revenue department ruling that scnlpors and others must pny taxes on nil trade transfers appeared to paralyze trad- Ing. The dullness that resulted had n de pressing effect on prices nnd during the last hour December dragged around G2T4C. The ordinary news of the day did not re- reive much attention. Minneapolis and Duluth - luth receipts were 1,112 cars , compared with 1,277 lust week nnd 1,144 a year ago. Chicago cage receipts were 209 cars. 18 of which were of contract grades. Primary receipts for the week made a total of 10,800,000 bushels , the largest on record. Clearances were light , amounting to only 185.000 bushels. Brndstrcet's reported the week's clearances of wheat nnd Hour from botti coasts at 6,397,000 bushels , about 500,000 bushels over last year's figures. Brokers who work shipping business between here nnd the seaboard reported bids too low for business. The market continued dull up to the close and the latest trading In De cember was 62Jc. Corn was burdened by the war tax , the same as wheat , nnd business was reduced thereby to extremely slender proportions. The dav's fluctuations were confined to a narrow range , but the sentiment among traders rather favored the selling side. Ro- celt > tH. 416 cars , or considerably over the estimates. December Btnrted unchanged to l-8e lower at 29 5-8 < B29Jc nnd kept within nn l-8c range , closing nt 295-Sc , buyers. Oats suffered with the sama affliction as the other trains , experiencing hardly suf ficient trade to establish quotations. Re ceipts were 41C cars. May began 1-Sc down nt 227-8c and declined to 22 l-8c bid , the closing price. Disturbing yellow fever rumors from the south. In addition to the stamping out of the scalping element by the government tax , depressed provisions. Selling In a small.way of ribs and pork by packers caused Borne concession In prices. Meat shipments for the week were 19,518,000 pounds and shipments of lard 14.S2G.OOO Dounds. January pork started 5@74c } lower at $ S.83iS.S7V4 , soVl oft to $8.8214 and closed at $3.821715.85.

Such cattle as were offered generally sold In about the same notches as yesterday and the trade was without feature pf Importance. As has already been pointed out In these columns this has been the big week of the season to date , the receipts having run very leavy , ns will be noted from the table of figures at the head of the column. Nearly ill the cattle'recclvedidurlng the week were range cattle , with h. sprinkling of cornfeds. Grass beef cattle of good quality were scarce all the week , and they have sold just as well as any time , In spite of the largo receipts and lower prices on other kinds. Cornfcd cattle sold 'most too high here , as compared with other-1 markets. Some cat tle that went on to1 Chicago brought con siderably less money than was bid for'them here" nnd It Is Safe to""say that such rattle as sold hero brought Chicago prices. For : hat reason buyers were weak and Inclined : o bear prices on cornfcd steers , and at : ho close of the week It Is safe to call the market 10@16c lower than last week. The most of the cattle received during the week were feeders and stockers , and with the medium and common kinds In the majority. With such large offerings of cattle , of that rilnd It was only natural that values should jrenk badly and the middle of the week , when the supply was the largest , the mar ket was called 2025c lower on all but the best kinds. During the last two days of the week prices firmed up a little as the surplus cattle were shlppedjwt and at the close or : ho week the murket-on feeders Is about 10 ® 20o lower than last week. HOGS The week closed with a liberal run of hogs , the receipts being the largest since Wednesday , but hardly up to 'fllfe record of a week ago. The market was steady to a shade higher and reasonably active , BO that everything was sold and weighed up In good ; season. They sold at the same range as yesterday , that Is at $3.65f3.65. Heavy packing hogs brought t3.653.57 % , medium weights , and light mixed , $3.60(3'3.G21/4 ( , with prime light at $3.65. While' the range of prices was the same as yesterday , there were fewer sales at bottom prices and-more at near the top , so that the avcraffooif all the sales was a Httlo higher than yesterday , as will bo noted from the table of prices near the head of the column. This has been low" week In the hog mar ket as compared with previous weeks for some little time back. There has been a large run of hogs at most market centers and packers have shown a disposition to bear the market , which Is not unusual at this season of the year. They hayo been claiming that hogs were too high In com parison to the price of the product , and no opportunity to force the market down has been lost sight of. At the same time the break In values rather shut off the receipts at this point , the total for the week being smaller than for the previous week by several thousand head , and as the demand was very brisk values wore better maintained here than at most market points. In fact , on some days this was about the best market In the country. After going down hill rapidly the first half of the week the tide turned and on Friday and Saturday there was a slight reaction so that at the close of the week values were only about 12c lower than the close of the previous week. SHEEP There were quite liberal receipts for the last day of the week , but the most of the offerings consisted of feeders , with only a very few killers on sale. The mar ket was without change , values being about the same au yesterday and day be fore. The sheep market all this week has been In very satisfactory condition ns regards the Helling Interests. The demand has been good right along for all kinds , and It has been no trouble to keep the pens cleared. Both killers and feeders have been free buyers nnd values have been just about stationary. The week's business could be summed up In a ivery few words by de- 1 scribing It as a good , active and steady 3 market. _ I Quotations arev ( Good grass westerns , t $4.004.16 ; fair to good grass westerns , $3.90 04.00 ; good yearlings , $4.20S4.35 ( ; good to t choice lambs , J5.15j.30 ; fair to good laml > , $4.903C.OO ; feeder jvethers , 2-year-olds and over , $3.754.00 ; feeder yearlings , $4.00 4.15 ; feeder lambs , $ tJ5fff4.S5 ; culls , $2.50 ( 3.00 ' CHICAGO LIVl& STOCIC MA1UCI3T Snturdity Offer I HUH Ulnponed Of at Upi- clintiucn 1'rlcex.
