THE OMAHA DAILT BEE : SUNDAY , SEPTEMBER 10 , 189 ? ) . CONDITION OF OSAKA'S ' TRADE , Tint Week in September Shows Up All Bight AS Regards Trade. JOBBERS HAVE ABOUT ALL THLY CAN DO Lire Stock Cnnlliincn to Coiniunml High 1'rlcG.t lo SntUfncllon o ( ( irimcrnVlillc Alllit Unt- ern Coinjilnln l'oudl > . During the month of August the general retail trade of Omaha seemed rather dull and the volume ot stiles , outslda of a few largo business houses , w.is small. With 1 the opening of September Improvement was I noted , as the people who had absented themselves from the city In July nnd Au- Kust began returning , nnd trade st'enled lo t ke on new life. During last week strangers came to the city In larger numbers ' bers , some on business connected with , either buying or soiling and others as ex position visitors , which helped to give a I little more Impetus to trade In general. As a matter of uaurso no- great boom can bo expected while the weather remains warm , or until the coming of frost , when the fall trade may ba expected to open In earnest. i At the present lime the demund is largely for such merchandise as may be rcnulred to ploco out the period ot warm weather , i Local retailers have been expecting n good | deal from the attendance of exposition visitors this month and they still believe that before thu gates are closed there will bo a rush of people from the lountry who will buy llbcinliy of winter goods. 1 his ' belief is based upon the assumption that prices for staple goods are considerably lower In the city than the country and that there are always attruotlvo burnalns to bo picked up at the large stores that could not bo expected In the smaller coun- Wlth the Jobbers the week Just closed was , entirely sallsfnctory , the demand for ; ' merchandise of all kinds having been very large and the volume of business ot must cratlfylng pioportlons. ffa a rule the Jobbers - I bers of onmhu have been kept very busy < end It looks as if they would have all that they could attend to from now until the end of the holidays. During the eaily part of last week It looked a llttlo doubtful in eorne quarters , owing to the prevalence of hot winds. It was generally realized , how ever , that the corn was so far advanced that hot winds at the worst could only ' shorten the crop a llttlo and that there would even then bo a large yield and sulil- clent to maku business good In the state. The coming ot cooler weather allayed all fears and It would look now as If a very large crop of coin was assured for the , etato. In .1 few localities , as Is always the ! I case , there has been some little damage and thn yield may bo a little short. With the corn crop assured the futureof the Jobbing trade will be good , beyond uuus- tlon , for u year to come at least. aieruliiuiillHU ViilucH Continue llluli. Values on all kinds of merchandise con tinue very high and still ndvam.es are. re ported from day to day In the news col umns of the dally pipers. Some of the ad vances appear to be due to the very good demand and othcra to be a combined eitort on the pait ot manufacturers to limit the output and force prices upward. In either event values show no Inclination to weaken , but such changes ns take place are all on the side of higher levels. Down In the produce district there Is a fair trade doing and the return of peep e to the city and the tilling up of the hotels und boarding houses. ' Is Increasing the con sumption. Still It docs not Bconi as If the demand Is ns largo us It ought to be , and sometimes commission men usk themselves what the people cut Oinu.hu Is moat fortu nately situated OH regards securing a good fruit supply , being within easy reach of the Pacllfc coast as well as the southern fruit growing districts. While the wipply of fruit In largo and the quality good It seems ns It people do not buy us freely as might bo expected , nnd hence the question Is Bonietlmes usked aa to what people eat. One thing Is certain , the people of Omaha do not believe in eating anything that Is very costly , and the minute any kind of fruit advances to a point where It might bo considered rather dear the demand ceases. Bank clearings show a falling oft as com pared with the corresponding time last year , just why It Is hard to say. The only explanation Is that Omahu was full to over flowing'With strangers n year ago and Unit the money spent by the exposition visitors found Its way through the channels of trade and through the clearing house. MM In South Oniiilin. At South Omiiha a very fair business la doing and the live stock market Is In good shape. Values on all kinds of Htock , cattle , hogs and xheep are high , and In consequence quence there Is no appreciable change In the price of meatH. l armors and stock- growers generally nro well pleased with the priced at Which Block IB selling , but not as much can be said of meat enters , especially these In the eust , who complain 11 good deal of the high priced. There Is another class of people who do not like the ruling high prices , und It Is composed of those farmers who have un abundance of corn and want cattle to place on feed. It Is claimed by _ i inoat every one that the prlco of stock cattle " "X is way too high and that the buyer takes * J n big risk of never being able to get his ' money out again , but still the supply la not large , while the number of those want ing cattle IB great , HO that thu market holds up pretty well. Last year a good many of the farmers who bought cattle for early feeding lost money , and seine Hcem to think that the same thing will happen again thls > season. However , there nro buyers for nil the cattle , and the man who Is timid slin- ply does not get the cattle , ns there nro JF plenty of othera who have the nerve. One * peculiarity of the cattle trade this season consists In the fact that whllo during pre- vloua ycara furmeiv have had to buy u peed many cattle on time and be cnrrlnl by the commission men or slock yurds i liankf , thla year the country banks are flush with money nnd are carrying almost all the cattlu paper themselves.

The verdict In the Dreyfus coae and consequent excitement in Paris saved wheat from a decline today , the market closing unchanged for Septeni- b'or and only a shade lower for December. Domestic and European statistics tended toward lower prices early in the day. Corn continued to decline and closed Uo lower. Oats declined Uo for September and un changed for December. Provisions closed about 2Vfcc lower. Wheat opened weak at a decline of about UiMio for December and September. Re ceipts of wheat In the northwest were much heavier than a week ago and Liver pool was lower. The general trend of the market has been downward for several days and this sort of news cosily put the I balance of trading on the selling fide. The ' selling pressure at noon was heavy , but the demand wou so light that prices declined I ; steadily , weakness being especially markud In . the d&ferred futures. TJie market eon I i got under puts and at that point bccamo steady under fair buying against those privileges ; but did not show signs of any reaction until late In the session , when the report of the verdict In the Dreyfus case was posted and fears of excitement In i Parts caused some covering by aborts. The buying , however , was only sufficient to I bring prices back to about yesterday's clo- - Ing point. The market was affected In a bearish way by the Increase of 150.000 bu. Iti the European visible for August , compared with a decrease last year of 7,800,000 bu. The big Russian stock , 8,890.000 bu. , also came as a surprise to traders nnd wa"s re I sponsible for some liquidation , September , i after the llrst selling , showed considerable steadiness. Elevator people continued to 1 buy and this kept prices close to yesterday a closing point. Northwest receipts were 916 cars , nenlnK 63S last week , and 1.1J9 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 189 cars , 9 of ! contract grade. Total primary receipts tvero 1,183.000 bu. . compared with 1,254.000 bu. a ynr ago. New York reported a fair ex port demand with about 30 loads engaged. Toward the close the market was practic ally at a standstill. Bearish statistics were expected Monday and with this belief trad ers wore d'slncllned to do much. December opened MfffHc lower at TljmUc. It declined to 70 ( ! B7074c and rallied to 71 c. where It closed. September sold as h'srh as lO sQiO-fiC and eloped unchanged at 70 ? c. Corn was dull nnd heavy. General com- mlsflon house liquidation was the feature and prices dool'.ncd about Mo all around. The market pot to both dally and weekly puts and hnd some support on that ac count. The brcaklno : of the droucht and continued large receipts -were the factors. UccelpN were 8K5 cars. December ranged from 2S'/4c to SSVic and closed We lower at 2 < ! > ic. Oats were fairly active and Irregular. Rarly In the sesVon there was a marked dlsrxiPltlon to real'fco ' by loners and prices declined. The llqulrtnton of September was osncHnlly heavy.

Stocks showed some evidence of firmness In the first hour of the trading and up to the time of the publication of the bank statement. The movement In railroad Blocks was exceed ingly narrow and the selling movement , though not very pressing , was sufllolent to bring the general level of prices below these of last night. Tennessee COR ! con founded the beam by soaring an additional 7 points upward , and after reacting 3H , re covered to within 2 points of the top , Colorado rado Fuel continued to show close aymp- athy and was up over 4 points before the late reaction. Add to these a continued largo demand for Manhattan and sympa thetic strength In Metropolitan and nrook- lyn Transit and good trains In International Paper , Union Bag and Paper and Lacku- wanna , the points of extraordinary strength in the market are about exhausted. The 1/ondon exchange was closed for a house- cleanlng and the recent depression from that source was lacking. Paris was looked to for a reflection of foreign sentiment and the view there seemed to be a cheerful one. In view of tlio pessimistic forecasts that have been heard all week regarding the bank statement , the bears hod a feeling early In the session that a poor statement had been more than discounted and were In clined to cover , Rut the statement showed a loss In cash quite J2.000.000 in excess of the most unfavorable previous estimates. The comparUon Is the average total of cash for sixty days , with the average for the preceding six business days. As the totals have been on u descending scale the aver age undentat < B the actual total. The con traction of J0.01C.700 in loans Is reduced lo reserve requirement by about Jl,500 000. Otherwise , the uurplus above legal require * , menta would be below a million. It la be lieved the treasury would consent to leave on deposit with New York banks the pay ments for taxes next week , but thin would only partly relieve the drain as the demand from the south will continue and no Inr crease In cash reserves would result from the measure Itself , It Is evident , therefore , thivt the process of loan contraction Is to continue tor the Immediate future. Wall street started the week after Mon day's holiday with a disposition apparent to contest the depressing Influences of the shrinkage of surplus reserves In New York banks and the gathering war cloud In South Africa. Out the climbing of the money rate and thn Billing of stocks for London account proved efllcacloua arguments against an Immediate further advance In prlnif. General prices refuged to advance at any time and remained Indifferent to the wide upward movement In individual stocks , whether the Vanderbllts , or the volatile specialties led by Tennessee Coal , or St. Paul. The movement of St. Paul was based on the publication of the annual re- port nnd was most Influential In Ha effect on the general list. The largo Increases in nearly every branch of the exceedingly varied trafllc of the great system , the ex- tcnslva Improvements and betterments ef fected during the yenr and the large surplus of earnings carried forward even after the generous allotments to cost of Improve ments from current earnings made a mo t hopeful showing of the conditions ot the transportation Industry and had an Inevit able effect on prices of all railroad securities. The conditions In thn money market have caused growing cauilon during the last week. The downward course of the cash reserve , item of the Now York clearing hotiFn banks has been made little of for several weeks past. It has been argued that there was plenty of money available which did not show In the weekly clearing house statement. The many new trust companies which have been organized and the insurance companies have been pointed out ns sources of supply which arc not in dicated In thn clearing house statement. The fact that banks In western cities have been bidding for mercantile paper In the Now York market was cited as , evidence that the Interior was supplied with money to move the crops and need not call on New York. The deposits of western nnd southern banks In New York banks have been transferred on a large scale to other eastern cities , owing to the recently en forced rule of New York banks to charge for collections ot outside checks , and this was expected to shift whatever demand might come from the west nnd south for money upon other cities. And the convic tion has been general that gold exports were an available means of relief whenever It was desired to call home our foreign credits. There Is ground for the prevailing belief on all those points , but nevertheless New York exchange at Interior points has continued downward and the shipments of currency to New Orleans have commenced this week as usually at this period of the year. The balanceof the currency movc- inent has been largely In favor of the In terior and tne subtreasury Is still making large Inroads on the cash resources of New York banks on account of payments of taxes. The banks' surplus reserves , al ready low , are thus tending fast toward tiio vanishing point. The sterling exchange rate showed no disposition to yield until late In the week , In spite of the. hardness of money here , as the London market was preparing itself for the Increasing probability of war. If gold Imports should be forced under these cir cumstances It Is certain that American se curities would be sent home to market on a large scale. It will be remembered that the treasury came to the relief ot the money market Infct September by anticipat ing the redemption of maturing bonds and accruing inlereat and by increasing deposits with depository banks. It Is the hope of financial circles that some such measures of relief will now be adopted by the trcas- urv. Otherwise the Increasing demands on the New York banks will cell ror a con siderable contraction of liabilities on ac count of loans.

About all that could bo said of the trade today Is to quote It as nominally steady. Ueef steers , both corn-fed ana greasers , have been good sellers all the week and values have not changed In any marked degree. Receipts on most days have been very moderate and extremely light on aoine , so that with a good , brisk demand sailers have met with very llttlo trouble In disposing of their holdings at prlcea en tirely satisfactory to them. Cows and heifers , and In fact all classes of butchers' stock , have been good sellers all the week , the demand being reasonably ' active. The cow market at the very least i could bo quoted at lOo higher for the week. ; Right choice and good weight feeders could bo called close to steady for the 1 week , as very few of that kind were re ceived , while the demand was good. The general run of feeders for the week were , considerably lower and the common light and medium wr'.ghts were all of 1625c lower. The decline was due apparently to the fact that the receipts were quite large , while the demand seemed to slacken up for sorno reason. Representative sales : BEEF STEERS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr.

August 29 It was , however , a Saturday , which shippers seemed to for got. Possibly every shipper figured that all other shippers would have too much sense to send In many hogs on the last day of the week and that he would find light re ceipts and a good mirjtet. On the con trary , they found heavy receipts and a weak market. Good light hogs sold at Just about steady prices , the best going at J4.40 , the same M yesterday. Heavy hogs were weak to 60 lower , with packers Indifferent. Sellers ' could do nothing but take the prices , HH no one could afford to carry over until next week. BO that In spite of the fact that the market was lower the hogs were practically all sold In good season. Toward the close a few loads that Just happened to bo wanted to fill some certain order may have sold a little stronger than early , but the market really closeu very llttlo different from the way It opened. On Saturday , September 2 , the hog mar ket touched the lowest point at which hogs have sold since July 17. At the opening ot the present week the market was 60 higher , on Tuesday the sales averaged 8c higher. On Wednesday the market was strong and on Thursday It was on an average 7o higher. From Thursdy until the last day of the week the change was very slight. These advances at the close of the week left the market a good 15c higher than the close of the previous week , a very sub stantial caln. The demand for hogs this week has not been as brisk as usual and the market In that rcspeot hardly satis factory Receipts have also been unusually light and sellers have not been entirely pleased with the situation aa a whole.
