The beginning of the fall season finds
the retail trade of Omaha greatly Improved
over what It was two or three weeks ago.

About the busiest men In the west are
thn jobbers , who have moro than enough

Invariably shows a handsome gain over the
name month last year and yet. as a rule.
It Is stated that trade cannot be regarded
M earlier than usual. ' The Increased busi
ness can. therefore , be safely regarded as
natural and not the result of the antici
pation of their wants on the purl of re
tailers In tributary territory. The facts are
that retail merchants , especially of Ne
braska , have grown very cautious in recent
years and are not In the habit of buying
recklessly or any farther In advance than
the requirements of the trade demand , BO
lhat the very excellent trade doing may be
regarded as of an entirely healthy character.
In New York City they are predicting , by
reason of the scarcity of many lines of mer-
chandlso and the very encouraging pros-
reels , that fall Uuylng will bo prolonged
this season to a late date , and they are
looking to that as a feature of strength In
the market.
A 1'cnture of the Jolililnw Trade.
Onn of the characteristic features of the
jobbing trade has been the rapid advance
In values , to which attention has been
called frequently. While such advances are
eldom looked upon by consumers with
favor , they mean a great deal to the Job
ber. Th representative of o. local house
remarked this week that his llrm made
more money last month In the advance In
4. the value of Us stock of merchandise than
. during the twelve months of some less fa
vorable years. The policy of the nrm In
Question .has been to buy heavily In ad
vance of actual requirements , and this has
been the policy of a great many houses.
For somn tlmo back merchants have been
rwktne themselves when the upward ten-
doncv In value * was to come to nn end ,
fnr an end must be reached sooner or later.
Them must come a time when cither con-
umntlon will decrease sulllelontly to allow
.n accumulation In the hands of manu
facturers sulllclunt to at least bring ad
vances to a halt , or prices will bo carried
to a nolnt where Importations of morchan-
dtsn on a largo scale will bo possible. In
contrasting the present boom In the Iron
end steel trade with that of twenty years
U.STO. the Iron Age mentions that at that
tlrnn nrldfta were such that Immense quan
tities of forftlffti mntcrlal were Imported to
meet a demand which was largely specula
tive. even when It appeared to bo for con-
Biimotlnn. Now thn prices at homo nro BO
low. much as thny have risen In six or
eight months , that there Is a wide margin
between domestic prices and the prices at
which foreign pig Iron , billets and rails
could bo laid down hero duty paid. On
norno of the higher forma of manufactured
Iron and steel the margin Is not wide ; our
mrlces cannot bo torced up much more
. -without making Importation possible. Al-
readv a few lots have been Imported be
cause of special needs here which made

lorlces mlcht easily reach the foreign
nrloes on structural material and a con
tinuation of recent advances would even

WHEAT WEAK FOR DEFERRED FUTURES
Continued Dry , Hot Wcntlicr Hcportcil
from the Went Outs Strong it ml
I'nlrly Active I'rovlflioiiN
CHICAGO , Sept. 2.-Corn was again the
big market on the Board , of Trade today.
Fears of damage from the long-continued
hot dry weather drove September shorts to
cover and advanced the price of that com
modity ? ie. Other futures closed un
changed. Wheat was weak for deferred
futures on expectations1 of large receipts
next week. Oata closed unchanged to Ho
higher and provisions generally closed a
trifle higher.
The tendency of wheat at the opening was
slightly downward. Foreign markets were
Inclined toward a lower level and north
west roceJpta were much more liberal Uian
a week ago.
Minneapolis , In addition , wired that re-
oe-lpts by Tuesday , the next session on
exchange , would probably reach 2,000 , which
added materially to the bcarlshnosa of the
situation , though It did not have any effect
nt Ilrst. A wild spurt took place in corn
shortly after the opening. The advance In
that grain was BO rapid that for the tlmo
being It took wheat shorts oft their feet
and sent prices up about Ho for September
and about Ho for December. While the In-
lluonce of the corn firmness lasted there
was considerable activity In wheat , but
whun realizing set In In the coarser grains
and prices began to ease off wheat readily
foll6wcd , The Influence of the heavy ex
pected northwest receipts then began to be
felt. Heavy shorts , who had held aloof
from the market during the early spurt ,
cunio Into the market then and gradually
pressed prices downward. The selling of
December was much more marked than
that of September and that option suffered
moro In consequence.
During the last hour of the short Satur
day session early buyers turned sellers , but
the demand was too light to absorb offerings
and the market closed weak and at the bet
tom. The day's clearances of wheat and
Hour from Atlantic ports equalled 630,000 bu.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of
633 cars , against 223 last week , and SOI a
year ago. Chicago receipts were 118 cars. 2
of contract trade. Total primary receipts
were put at S2S.OOO bo , , compared with
1,001,000 bu. a year ago. There was some
buying against puta ohortly before the close ,
but only enough to stop the decline. December -
comber opened unchanged at 71H71c-
advanced to Tlftc , then declined to 71H@
71Vc , closing at 71c. September opened a
shade higher at C96069 ic. advanced to
70Ho. and declined to COHo , where It closed.
Ihe market for corn was active and
broad. Continued dry and hot weather was
reported from Uio west and fear of consequent
quent damage was strenffthened by reports
of "firing" from parts of Illinois , Shorts
were heavy buyers , especially of Decem
ber , and that option advanced sharply , de
ferred futures following. At the top there
was a good deal of realizing and late in
the session prices eased off , the advance In
December being lost. B&ptcmber , however ,
was Btrong to the close. Larger receipts
were predicted on account of the Septem
ber premium. Receipts today were CGS cars.
There was a good cash and shipping de
mand. December ranged from 2S c to 29U ©
29c , and closed unchanged at 2ic. Sep
tember ranged from 31o to 31ic , and closed
% e higher at 31c.
Oats were strong and fairly active. Shorts
were good buyers of September and it was
evident the short Interest In that option is
larger than expected. The strength of corn
had considerable Influence on the market
and the continued excellent cash demand
was also a factor. There was some in
vestment buying. Receipts were 445 cars.
December ranged from lDQ20o to 20Vie , and.
closed ' /to higher at 2QS20Hc.
Provisions wore weak to start with In
fluenced by reports of yellow fever in
New Orleans , yho decline in prices was In
significant , however , and later the market
grew strong on the heavy decreases In
stocks , notably that of ribs , over 10,000,000
pounds. Packers and outsiders were good
buyers late in the session and prices ad
vanced slightly all around , the market
closing flrm. October pork closed 2V4c
higher at $3.03 ; October lard a shadu higher
at J3.22&C. and October ribs a. shade higher
at J5.12 | .

Stock Market In IiitciiHCly Dull AH
TliroiiKli Sn < nrilny' SpfiMlnn ,
NEW YORK. Sept. 2-The stock market
was intensely dull throughout today's
short session and net changes extended be
yond fractions only in rare Instances. As
the bears had eold the market short In
view of the bank statement , the evening
up of their contracts when It appeared
closely conforming to estimates created a
demand which rallied the market from
earlier depression and brought prices In
most coses above yesterday's level. The
fact that Monday is a holiday had an effect
In keeping Stock exchange operations at a
minimum. The report pf a death from yellow -
low fever In New Orleans mid the Texas
quarantines caued weakness in the rail
roads In the south , notably Illinois Central ,
Brooklyn Transit , Tennessee Coal , the Re
public Steel stocks and American Tobacco
led a rlso before the bank statement came
out ,
In contrast to the eudden outbreak yes
terday of activity in Vanderbllts , there
was only a single sale in the first hour of
Northwestern and of Omaha , the latter at
a gain of a point. New York Central did
not appear on the tape at all until the second
end hour , Kansas & Texas seconds became
active in the late dealings and advanced 1
per cent. The stock market has thown the
effects this week of proflt-taklng by the
organized pools , which were active last
week in advancing the prices of certain
railroad stocks , Those stocks' ' have suffered
most acutely , but the whole list has shown
an Increasing disposition to sag.
Early In the week the pools were sharply
manipulating the Industrial specialties to
sustain prices and cover the realizing going
on. The short interest in some of the In
dustrials was sensitive to the upward
movement and was inclined to cover , help
ing the strength. The various professional
maneuvers were the surface indications ol
the culmination of the recent bull move
ment and the market lapsed Into dullne&u
and neglect after they had been concluded.
There was no heavy liquidation In evidence
outside tha speculative profit-taking and
the market took on the condition of leth
argy and nlugcishness which Indicates the
contentment of the mass of holders of se
curities and the unwillingness of buyers to
rulso tholr bids.
Thin has not prevented the rtse of a rail
road stock hero and there from Individual
cases. Earnings of railroads continue to
show unprecedented results , hut there Is no
change In the cautious and conservative
policy heretofore khown by railway man
agers. They have continued to make ex
tra irdlr.ary outlays r > r ivitnnunt and In
many Instances arn 'IK ' lined to file tip a
gurplus1 against future lontliiKetuics or to
put the surplus carnliiRs into permnnent
improvements designed to cheapen the cost
ot transportation. Present high prlcm of
railroad Morka have thus anticipated In
creased dividend disbursements , which in
many casvs have not come.
The persistent Increase of railroad earnIngs -
Ings makes the higher dividends Increas
ingly probable , but the actual declaration
has been In many cases more than dis
counted , The stocks of Iron and ttcel com
panies on the exchange very obstinately
refuse to advance , owing to a feeling that
the present conditions In Iron and Btccl are
abnormal and necessarly transitory.
Even the buoyant tone of one stock in
this group elicited little response elsewhere.
The evidences of univwJneer if not of actual
dls-trcjs In foreign financial centers are ac
cepted by the bears as a symptom that
easier means will bo sought in future to
satisfy their need * . So far ns the immedi
ate outlook Is concerned , money conditions
are favorable to the decline in prices of se
curities. Thn surplus reserves of New
York bank * are unprecodentcdly low for
this * period of the year. Even If Intcrlnr
money markets are able to supply funds to
move the crops , that will Involve a cur
tailment of supply nt a source to which
New York has applied quite freely of late
for relief
The constant recuperative process of the
Banks of England , Franco and Germany
for many weeks past hns put those great
centers of finance In much better position
to meet nn Imperative demand from New
York for gold. But it is" " still quite obvious
that only a high rate for money here would
Induce shipments ot gold to New York. The
government's revenues are running far
ahead of last year's corresponding period
and the outgo is much less. Had It not
been for the leaving on deposit with the
National City bank of the $3,000,000 paid by
that bank for the old custom house and
site In the city the New York money mar
ket would likely have been seriously
) lnchcd this week.
The bond market has been quiet and
changes Irregular. United States new 4s

RATE WAR TO THE SOUTHEAST

lit * Hc'iiiovoil.
KANSAS CITY , Sept. 2. A determined
freight rate war Is on between the Burling
ton and Memphis railroads , lu which other
Kansas City Hues will Boon doubtless bo
forced to 'like a hand. The Burlington line
put In a reduced rat'o yesterday on' packing
house products from Omaha points south of
the Ohio river and east of the Mississippi
river. The rate from Kansas City to these
points was formerly 0 cents per 100 pounds
lower tluin from Omaha. The Burlington
reduced the differential to 3 cents.
The Memphis railroad announces that It
will cut the rate 3 cents from Kansas City ,
thus preserving the advantage of 6 cents
which Kansas City has long enjoyed over
Omaha. In retaliation the Burlington will
again reduce the differential 3 cents. It Is
expected that the Memphis will keep In the
flght and a merry tlmo Is looked for.

SEATTLE , Wash. , Sept. 2. When the bark
Hunter arrived early this morning , eighteen
days from St. Michaels , with 150 miners on
board , Captain O'Brien anchored In the
stream and came ashore In a small boat for
the purpose of securing warrants for the ar
rest ot his pocHengers , who he claims re
belled on the way down and threatened to
string him up nt the yardarm. He found on
consultation with the federal authorities that
there was no law covering the case and later
In the day his passengers were landed. The
passengers assert that they did not threaten
to lynch the captain , but admit that they
made a strong complaint about food and ac
commodations furnished them.
LOSS IX SUUI'LUS UISSEllVU.
AVcclcly Statement of tlie X MV YorU
Clearing HOIINC IlimkN.
NEW YORK , Snpt. 2. The Financier
eays : The statement of the New York
clearing house banks for the week ending
September 2 shown ; IH bad been anticipated ,
a loss In surplus revenue , duo to opera
tions with the treasury and the Interior.
The decrease In money held above legal
requirements aggregated about 25 per cent ,
and , as there Is no reason to expect tx dif
ferent statement for a week or two to came ,
the outlook favors a firmer tone In money.
The banks have apparently reached a po
sition wlioro they cannot expand their bual-
nees further , and If the demand for money
from the west and south attains considera
ble proportions , contractions In outstanding
commitments are inevitable.
The loans of the banks have been reduced
etoadlly since the opening of July , the de
crease up to the present having boon forty
millions. Deposits show heavier falling
oft. Tliu result of these contractions ,
however , as reflected In excess cash , Is
eoen In an enlargement of reserve of only
$5,000,000 , These are the con
ditions under which the banks face a do-
inand , the extent of which Is In doubt , for
money needed to move the crops. Still , the
outlook U not OH dubious as might bo In
ferred. The Interior Institutions are
much aUonger than at this Mme last year ,
and the decline of foreign exchange rates
forecasts what may bo expected If rates
show n tendency to rise beyond a reason
able flguro. At this time last year the ro-
eerveu of the Ne\V York banks were only
$5,000,000 higher than at present , md foil to
$4,260,000 on September 17 , but a
month later , owing largely to gold
Imports and treasury operations , the ex
cess reserve had risen to about $20,000,000 ,
The movement of money to the west thto
year will probably bo much less than last ,
but In any event , the method of recuperation
then employed Is easier of accomplishment
now. The principal feature In the present
statement , aside from the loss of $5,272,600
In cash , Is the decrease of $8,341,300 in de
posits. Loans , In the face of conslclerablo
stock exchange activity , have contracted
$3,120,900. Circulation for the week has
Increased $228,400 $ ,
Tin 1'nHiMl .Stiitf * IVur Ship for .Africa.
WASHINGTON , Sopt. 2. The State de
partment lias decided that It will not bo
feasible or necessary to eenfl a war ship to
South Africa. Such a vessel. It Is said ,
could cet no nearer the Transvaal than
Delagoa bay and as this Is Portuguese terri
tory It would not bo possible to send marines
or sailors across the country , oven wore It
desirable to do so. Therefore the depart
ment will rely entirely at this stage upon
the discretion of Mr. Macrum , our consul nt
Pretoria , for the protection of American
Interests In the event of war.

CATTLE Most of thot cattle here today
worn consigned direct to packers from
Kansas City and were not offered for sale ,
so that there were not enough ottered to
make much of a test of the market. Such
Ratlin na were hero sold readily nt good ,
steady prices , and the trade was soon over
with for the want of more cattle to sell.
The market on cattle this week has been
in pretty good shape. The demand for
cornfed steers on the part of local pack
ers was Kood every day and prices entirely
satlsfactoty , the cattle selling as high as
any time. Grass beef cattle also sold
hlcher. the advance for the week amount-
Incr to 20 300 on the moat desirable kinds.
During the early part of the week the re-
celnts were quite liberal , but ns a rule
there have not been enough coming to please
buyers.
Cows and heifer ? sold pretty well the
enrlv part of the week , but values cased
oft nnd at the close of the week It Is safe
to call tha market 10fi)15c ) lower on the
ceneral run of cow stuff.
Stock cattle nnd feeders have constituted
a large percentage of the receipts , and the
Interest haa centered largely in the trade
on that kind ot cattle. The country demand
was iood all the week and values on the
desirable kinds had an upward tendency
BO that at tht close of the week it is safe
to say that the market on choice cattle
Is fully 1015c higher than a week ago.
Medium kinds ef cattle have not shown
so much advance , and the common kinds
are. if anything , lower than they hav been
anv time this season. There is really no
demand for common feeding cattle , and
anything that would come under that head
Is verv dllllcult to sell at any price. Repre

HOGS Light receipts consequent upon
the sharp break in the market was a feature
of the day , but even light roceipta could not
stop the downward movement In values.
Advices from other Belling points were far
from encouraging and buyers were indif
ferent and bearish. The result was a still
lower market today.
Light mixed and medium weight hogs
were fully 6c lower and not very active even
at the decline. Good light and light mixed
stuff sold largely at J4.25 with a JI.30 top.
Prutty decent medium weight loada , averag
ing right around 240 pounds , sold largely at
J4.15 , the same Kina navins nom yeaieruny
at J4.20 as a rule. Sklppy or trashy lights
sold down to J4.10.
The popular price for heavy hogs was
J4.10. with rough heavy packers down as
low as JI.0004.CX > . Sellers were slow to make
the concession , but it was a Saturday nnd
no one felt like holding over , so that they
had to give in and the most of tlie hogs
sold In reasonably good seaton.
The hog market this week has experienced
the most considerable dcllne that bus taken
place In a long time. At the opening of tha
week hogs told on an average at J4.40. On
Tuesday the market advanced to J4.42 , but
then commenced the break that had been
looked forward to for some tlmo , Values
were a shade lower on Wednesday , 15o
lower on Thursday , 60 lowrr on Friday and
4c lower on Saturday , making n decline of
over 20o in four days. Other markets hnvo
been equally bad. Sellers who were at
Chicago Thursday reported the market thtre
an rotten , especially on the common kinds
of packing hoga. As la very apt to be the
cane when prices nre breaking badly the
market on a good mnny days haa been slow
nnd draggy , sellers lighting over every Inch
of the ground sten by step nnd only glvlnar
in when compelled. Representative sales :
