THE OMAHA DAILY 1U3E : MONDAY , OGTOBETl 21 , 1808. PET WEEK ON EXCHANGE Boom Traders Turn Their Attention Temporarily Toward the Elections. POSITION OF DEMOCRATS ON FINANCE IlcfiiNiil of Hint I'urly ( o Announce KM VIciTN In ( 'finnlrufil UN KxprtltiK nn tllNIllllK IlllltlL'IIVC L'llOII the MiirkutN. NEW YOUK , Oct. 23. Usury Clews , head of the banking liouso of Henry Clews & Co. , writes : Upon the whole wo have had a rather quiet week on the Block exchange. In the absence of more excitable material , tbo room trailers , who are Just now the only active clement In speculation , imve turned their attention to the elections , which they con- ntriio as having a ncnrinij inlluciice. ly ! proposed betting ami talking by numerous formidable outside operators on the street It baa been nought to produce an Impression .that . the probabilities favor the democracy , which financial circles have not recently tiet'n accustomed to regard ns the moat friendly to business Interests. There is Borne disappointment that In sections of HIP Interior the Oliver Issue shows symptoms of more vitality than had been expected , and If hero the democracy has refused to recognize white mctallsm It Is felt to be rather from motives of political convenience than because they sincerely eschew that doctrine of BryanlPin. The refusal ot the dcinocrats to recognize national questions Is regarded ns attended with some danger to sound finance. An en- tlrely new house of representatives has to be elected , and some thirty senators will have to be chosen by the various legislatures , many of whoso mcrabero liave to be desig nated now. Under these circumstances a party that holds Its advocates silent upon the vital questions that now occupy the ra tion certainly suggests a very unaspiring political situation. Among the Issues to be dealt with by the congress now to be elected nro silver , the currency , the status of tbo new territories acquired through the war. tbo largo constitutional problems arising from our exercise of a protectorate over Cuba , the future status of our army and navy and the creation of an effective mili tary reserve out of our National Guard. Vet. In respect to thcce largely new and momentous problems , one of the parties refuses - fuses to take any position , virtually saying to the people : "If you want our services In congress you must take up entirely on faith , It does not suit our convenience or our purposes to explain. " This attitude Is Blmply an unparalleled monstrosity In poli tics , a virtual affront Indeed to public opin ion which may well nltVnpt the serious at tention of the large Interests In this city , the great financial center. To such as think the democracy likely to carry the elections this must present a very unwelcome outlook. They must feel themselves entirely In the dark as to the future of legislation upon roost Important and illlllcult subjects , and the fact that the democratic leaders have not sufHclent confidence In their policy to declare It before the country Is at least sug gestive of a fear that It might bo repudiated by public opinion. UllH - llllK OlIUMl. For my own part I cannot but regard the assumption of such an attitude by one of the great national parties as a most surpris ing and unsettling omen ; and , for the re maining two weeks before the election , when Ibis state of thlnga will become more fully understood , It will not bo surprising If this threatening anomaly makes Itself more fully felt than It Is now among financial Interests. It Is much to bo hoped that this affront to the people will bring out a vote which will keep these abettors of n policy of silence out of power ; but , until there Is Pome- dis tinct assurance of such a result. Wall street may be expected to maintain an attitude ol caution. It Is true that some of the subjects ot legislation above referred to may bo disposed of by the present congress , but about that there can bo no certainty In advance , and oven accepting tbo most hopeful view of that aspect of the case It would not prevent n future stage of business uncertainty If the party of silence should happen to have a majority In the new congress. Other Condition * I'uvornlilo. 'Apart from these election uncertainties , the Influence of which cannot bo disregarded , conditions affecting the stock market nro Improving. The European wheat trade has come to understand that , notwithstanding the moderate Increase In the world's crop of this year over that of 1S97 , the supply from now crop and stocks on hand will not be up to the overage standard , and they are consequently advancing their bids for Ameri can wheat. The extent of the current for eign demand may be Inferred from the fact that , within the last ten days , engagements have been made for the export of lO.ono.Oin bushels of wheat. This shows that a point In price has been touched at which our farmers are willing to sell , but It remains to be seen whether , after such largo for eign purchases at the current range of values , growers may not bold for a further rise. Thin 10.000,000 bushels coming to sea board will bo a severe tax upon the carrying capacity of the railroads and our Chicago correspondent telegraphs us : "Tho business the northwest railroads are doing Is marvel ous. " It Is as yet too early to estimate the effect of these grain exports upon the gold mo-'c- mcnt. Some moderate engagements are be ing made for the export of the metal to this Bide , and although the operations are light nnd only occasionally they show that the exchange market Is In a condition which might readily yield to the pressure of the bills to bo made against these wheat ship ments. That , however , woul.d not neces sarily mean Imports of gold. The hlghei rate for money at London than at New York would afford n tempting opportunity for sixty days' employment of Idle funds ) In the pur chase of exchange , a form of transient In vestment which has been much resorted tc within the last twelve months , nnd at one time to an extent estimated at $70,000,000 In truth , wo have no reason to nnxlousl ) covet any further additions to our alread ) extraordinary stock of the yellow metal , IloldliiKH of Gold. A year ago our national holdings of goli reached their highest point , $715,000,000 Since Then wo have made net Import ! amounting to $125,000,000. nnd the domcsth production and receipts from the Klondlki region must amount to $70,000,000 more which would make our present natlona Block over $900,000.000. This places us fai nhead ot Franco , which has been the largrs gold holding country In the world , and put ! our stock nearly $200,000,000 In excess of oui former highest figures. The receipts tnu week at Snn Francisco ( from Melbourne ; amount to $3,750,000 and at this port $1,320. 000 , making the week's arrivals over $5,000. 000. It Is to bo hoped that some more pro tluctlvo use may be found for our Increaslni creditor foreign balances than piling ui stacks of gold In excess of all requirement ! for money or banking purposes. The phenomenal Increasing foreign trad balance In our favor , the Immense trolgn business of the grain carrying roads and th growing ease In money are factors forcefu enough to advance the stock market , am but for the coming elections the marke would now be In a very buoyant state. Wltl the elections out ct tbo way the effects o these Influences will assert themselves an will sulllco to knock out all bear fictions With such earnings as the western road are making nnd with the Immensity of still In 'sight to bo moved It Is almost Imposstbl to keep the securities that these roads repre eent down , and when they get ready to ad vnnco the balance of the market will g with them. There Is , consequently , muc hope In tbo situation after the elections. London Moni-y MurUrl. LONDON. Get 23. While the gravity o the Fashodn question Is fully appreciated there Is an underlying feeling on the stor exchange that a peaceful solution will b found. This Is evidenced by the recover In prices In splto ot the absence of reassurln news. On the whole prices were wonderful ! well maintained last week , holders showln little disposition to realize.

COX1HTIOX XI3W YOltIC IIAXIvS. .Vrw York A ( inIn llpoonipn it Clu-np .Moiii-y Market. NEW YORK , Oct. 23. The Financier says : Now York Is ngaln the cheapest money market In the world and the bank state ment for the current week Indicates that for some tlnio to come It Is to hold that distinction. The changes within live weeks , which brought on expansion In the surplus reserve from $4,1 ! 10,400 to $23,112,325 and swelled the deposits nearly $16,000,000 , have been so rapid that their significance Is not fully appreciated. They emphasize the re turn to easier conditions , due In part to the liberal policy of the trcnsmry with re spect to public deposits and also the favored position of the United States with regard to Internal exchange. Whllo European dlicounts last week moved up , American money rates receded. As a natural conscauance Investments In sterling bills , now coming forward rapidly , afforded a safe profit and that this was taken advantage of Is seen In the Increase of ? 10,607,900 In loans reported for the week. Specie receipts , both from Europe and the Pacific coast , were considerable and the sub- treasury's operations were In favor of the banks. This accounts for the gain of $3,103- 700 In gold. The Interior movement what llttlo there was of It this fall seems at an end and the flow of money Is again In this direction. This Increase of $307,300 in legnls Is to be attributed to receipts from this source. The heavy gain In deposits In view of the lean and cash changes Is just about normal. The statement In detail presents nothing that controverts the analysis already given. The National City , as usual , shows the heaviest gains and the aggregate expansions of deposits can be traced for the most part o seven banks , the bulk of the new loans falling to the Pamc Institutions. It Is In- ercstlng to note , however , that the Central National , an Institution with large com mercial connections , shows up unusually well n the gains for the week , Indicating a re vival In business activity that Is quite as inportant as anything else the statement reveals. With an assured supply of money and a steadily growing trade balance , It would not bo surprising to sec the totals of the New York banks expand rapidly from this tlmo on , even though the course of speculation seems to be checked for the present. CHICAGO CHAIN AMI PROVISIONS. Vuturi'B of < li < ; TrndliiK anil Closing 1'rlccH oil Saturday. CHICAGO , Oct. 22. A rather sensational advance at Liverpool today , In face of the weakness hero yesterday nnd an excellent demand for cash grain from Europe , ad vanced wheat sharply. December closed 101 1-Sc higher. Corn gained 3-Sic ; oats rose Vic , pork lost 5c , lard 2Vic und ribs 5c. An advance of 1 5-Si2d Iti the price ot wheat ut Liverpool und no noteworthy de cline In consols made a decidedly strong and higher market for wheat hero at the opening. Sains for December were lV4c higher at ( jiftiijCSc and there was u further gain of Ho shortly afterward. Accompanying the early news from abroad was u'Naw York report of large additional sales for export und further purchases of December tutures by the ox- porters. There were reports of Hour sales to Italy , the first on rejorl. und ilso that douses with Australian connections were making inquiries for Hour. St. Louis mean while advised that the bids from abroad on wheat vary 3c per bushel higher than at the close lust night and Minneapolis re ported the wheat stock on hand there , wus sufficient for only a limited period of grinding. Northwest receipts were yffl cars , which was considerably lighter than Jrxai week , as the. result of who recent rough weather. Chicago received 193 cars , ngalrist 139 last year. The primary receipts all told showed u liberal quantity of wheat re ceived , being 1,533,000 bushels , as compared with 1,061,001) bushels a year i go. The. ex ports for the day from tno leading Atlan tic ports were equal to 732ooo Im. of wheat. Under these conditions shorts were forct'J to cover nnd the. lluctuatl- were from 67ic to G&Vic. There was a liberal volumu of business done In the pit. Ntar 'lie end the war scare lost some of Its mlluence when It was found that continental mar kets were all lower and British consols higher and the price of December reacted to 07QC7 7-Sc , which was the closing figure. A good export demand with renewed speculative buying. Incited by the wheat strength und the foreign situation , caused a strong feeling In corn. Receipts were 40S cars. December opened Vic higher at 12J/3J 1-Sc , weakened to 31 7-Sc , then ad vanced sharply to 32 3-Sii32 c , caused by an attempt of the shorts to even up an trades for the week. There wus considera ble taking of profits by longs during the closing hour nnd the price was forced off to 3'Jc at the clcse. The improvement In wheat and corn caused a general Increase , of speculation In oils nnd u substantial advance In prices resulted. There was a good cash de mand and 1,000.000 bu. were taken here for shipment. Traders that sold yesterday bought heavily today and the market closed strong at a shade under the. high prices. Receipts were 231 cars. May started V1G3-8C higher at 24UQ24 3-8c , rose to 21 5-Sc and closed ut 24Hc. Traders In provisions were bearish on account of the. amazing receipts of hogs everywhere nnd a decline In prices for the same , ihcre was only a slight concession on the general list , however , as the strength in grains checked any concerted soiling. January pork opened a shade lower at $ 'J.20 , Improved to $9.22V4 , declined to $9.15 and closed at $9.17'/4. The range In lard and ribs was narrow. Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat , 193 pars ; corn , 410 cars ; oats , 220 cars ; hogs , 45.000 head. Leading futures ranged as follows : Articles , open. lllcli. Low.

Only u few loads of beef cuttle were offered on tlie market and they brought iteady prices , onu bunch being good enough to sell nt $3a ) . Cow stuff was also unchanged. Feeders were ns slow and lacking , 'In interest as usual on the last day of the week. As will bo noted from .the table aoove this has ben a week of. liberal receipts and Mill not much larger than tyvo we'aks ngo. Fat cattle were scarce all' the week and the market on anything In the way of duflrnble beef steers was fully steady. In f.ict corn- fed cattle If anything were u HttlJ stronger for the week , nnd on most days the trade was active at prevailing prices. fowa and heifers , such ns would do for killer ? , rold ut about steady prices all the wck. On Thursday the trade was n little t-low und weak , but it was u little more active on Friday , und for the week values were not materially changed. Feeding heifers , cwng to the decline on other feeding cattle , were lower. The great bulk of all the catt'o ' received at the yards during the weak coiiF.'itcd of stock and feeding cattle nnd ns the wtuthcr wus such ns to cut olt much ot the ' -ountry demand the market broke badly , as might have been expected. Fancy cattle pel haps did not suffer much decline , but very few of that kind wns received. For c.vtmnle a feeder paid $4.45 yesterday for some very choice dehorned rhort horns and white faces. However , the general run of what might be termed good feeders were 10&15c lower for the week , while the medium to fair grades were 23c lower. Common nnd inferior grades and little southern cuttle on the Texas order were harj to Kat } \ any price , and It Is safe to sny that thty were 25B35c lower than the previous work. Toward the last of the week the speculators bought very freely , evidently believing that the cattle were cheap at the decline and that prices would soon recover.The r'tult was that at the close of the week the surplus cattle In first hands wnr : pretty well cleaned up. HOGS The large receipts of yesterday and the day before were supplemented by another largo run today , and not since July have there- been as many hogs here on a Saturday. It will also bo noted that total receipts for the week , In splto of the mod erate run during the llrst two or three days , were unusually large. At the time of closing yesterday's report there were a good many hogs still unsold , but the later trains were bought up on arrival , so that everything wns sold before the scales closed for the day. Yesterday provisions were lower , and this morning both Chicago nnd Kansas City cnmo lower , and in addition to these bear Inlluences there was the still further fact of its being u Saturday , with large receipts - ceipts of hoes In sight. The result was that the market was u big lOc lower. The demand , however , was good at the decline , the buyers seeming to want the hogs ut prevailing prices , nnd It did not take them very lone to clean up the early receipts. In fact the first eighty loads that reached the yards were nil sold nnd weighed up at u very early hour. The later trains changed bands ns fast as the hogs could be yurdea and the market closed a little stronger than It opened. Whllo the early sales were largely at $3.52H4i3.53 ; , the late sales were very generally at $3.55f(3.B7l/i. ( The hog market this week was , as a rule , satisfactory to the sellers , though prices were lower at the close. The de mand was large , while the receipts the llrst three days were of moderate proportions , so that there was no oversupply to breed weakness. The wcelc tipened with nn ad vance , hogs sellliiKon Monday at the high- eat point toucheu since October 1. On Tuesday It was a shade higher , but on Wednesday It recovered 5c , which carried It to thn highest p6lnt since September 26. Thursday's market was not quite so strong and Friday's market closed 6j7Hc lower , which wns followed' ' Ity n. lOc decline on Saturday. The wt k'closed with values 15e lower than they wcr'a on Monday , and at the. lowest point touched since the first week of the month.- - SHEEP The few muttons here that were desirable met with ready sale this morning at steady priccs.imA loud of lambs and yearlings sold nt $ ! .7 < b and n little bunch of Southdown shecputliat hod been up at the exposition stock show sold ut $5.00.

On the contrary , lambs were in larger supply and for that reason void a little easier , tbo dpcllne for the week amounting to lOiJISc. Feeding sheep nnd lambs , If good , wsre pretty fair hellers uil the week In spite of unfavorable weather which had a tendency to keep buyers at home.

Oct. 22.-Tbe dry goods market has developed Httlo outside of the print cloth market during the week. The demand In general lines has been much restricted , buyers being present In the city In small numbers and mull orders being of only fair size and frequency. The cotton goods market shows a stronger front In feeling than was the case a week ago , duo undoubtedly to the gain In print cloths dur ing the week. The demand for export goods has shown gradual Improvement dur ing the week. The signing of the print cloth agreement has not resulted In any freer sales as yet und there Is more Inter est manifested In the market buyers , but they are Inclined to delay buying until they find out how the new trust system of sell ing Is to bo operated.
