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.

CHICAGO , Sopt. 9. 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. Tenter n firm foel'ng ' de
veloped , partly on the continued fxcellont
rash demand and the close wris steady. Rc-

NCMV York' * Ilnnk Statement Hhovm
I.OH In ISxucHM of UxituctatloiiN.
NEW YORK , Sept. 9. 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.
The bond market has only been mod
erately active during the week nnd prices

city and boosts the possession of a $20,000-
000 etato capltol , but these older wonders
do not overshadow In point of Interest the
new filtration plant of the city's water
works ey&tem. This plant Is Just com
pleted at a cost of J4BO.OOO. It was rec
ommended by the water commissioners In
February , 1897 , and for two years has been
under construction. Tbo water U rifted
eighteen feet from the Hudson river by
two centrifugal pumps Into a sedimentation
basin seven acres In or , with a capacity
of 16,000,000 gallons. The water passes by
gravity from this basin through pipes to'
eight filter beds. Each filter Is eevcn-
tenths of an acre , with n capacity of 2-
000,000 gallons a day , at thu usual rate ot
epeed of about five Inches an hour. The
water passes through four feet of sand
and sixteen Inches of gravel into subJralns
beneath the filters and thence Into a email
pure water reeervolr , one-fifth of on acre
In area. From this reservoir It is carried
through a ( steel pipe four feet In diameter
and 8,000 feet long to tlio main pumping
station , which Is on Quackenbuih and
Montgomery streets. From there It Is
pumped to the several distributing reser
voirs and delivered to the city. Allen Ha-
zen Is the chief engineer and George T.
Bailey , the superintendent of water works ,
the consulting engineer in charge of the
great work. This ie considered the great
est feature wblcb Albany baa to offer juet
at present , bolng the largest filtration
plant In the United States and the noet
modern in the world.

CATTLE Most of the cattle hero today .
were consigned direct to packers , so that
there were not enough on sale to make any
test of the market or establish quotations.
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 :

HOGS The gradual Improvement In the
market during the last few days seemed to
have stimulated shipments and today's re
ceipts of hogs were the largest of any day
since Tuesday. 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. Rep
