'Business men without exception were
Greatly pleased at the change In the
WMther. as something of the kind waa
Jieedcd to stimulate trade. It Is n notlcca-
ol fact that the people of Omaha rarely
every commence buying fall or winter
merchandise , however late the season may
. untH there Is some visible sign of
colder weather. This reason business Im-
piovcd son.- > what with the opening of Sep
tember , but still there was no great activity
end trade continued n. little on the quiet
order during the time thnt the wenthcr
was fo very warm. The change to cooler
jveather a few days ago started up the
buying de.mand at once , nnd from that
time there hns been a great Improvement
in trade noticeable. Local retail merchants
all have their fnll goods on the shelves nnd
U Is claimed by those who nri In n posi
tion to know that they are larger , more
complete and embrace n better quality of
goods thnn wore ever put In stock In this
city before. This would seem to Indicate
thnt the retail merchants of the city have
a good dcnl of confidence In the purchas
ing power of consumers. There Is no
doubt but what members of the trade nro
nntlclpating a good deal of help from
visitors Inter on during the last weeks of
tha exposition.
The jobbers of the city have , been busy
right along so thnt It Is nothing new to say
that Omaha jobbing trade Is good , or of
largo proportions. The fact Is that the
Joblcrs of this city have had everything
on their sldc this year nnd It looks now ns
If this would prove to be the 'banner year
BO far as the volume- trade In n jobbing
way la concerned. The large crops In
practically nH sections of the farming
country tributary to this market , tORethcr
with the favorable , conditions prevailing in
the stock growing and mining sections of
the country , have combined to make the
volume of trade very large. The Jobbers
nnvo put In largo stocks nnd have placed
themselves In n position to tnko care of
nny amount of trade that nllght como to
them.
South Omnhn.
At South Omaha n largo business Is do
ing and the situation In the live stock mar
ket Is entirely to the. liking of the produc
ers. Buyers nnd consumers naturally com
plain that prices are high. The trade nt
the present tlmo Is very largely occupied
with the handling of western range steers
of the kind known ns feeders , which are
toeing bought by farmers nnd tnken back
dnto the country to be plnced on corn feed
and fattened for market. Prices on good
cnttlo of that description nre very high ,
but owing to n surplus of the common
kinds there was a big 'break ' In prices last
week. Stlh It Is a question It the farmers
nre not paying too much for the cattle
nnd If many of them will not lose money
by the operation.
Attention has 'been called In these
columns to the extensive operation of west
ern canning factories and It may be of in
terest to .the many who nre Interested In
them to know the reports received from
Now Jersey and southern packing centers
show that conditions governing the tomato
pack have materially changed within the
last few daya. The glut of fruit at the
factories , owing to the ripening of the crop
nil at once , gave the packers moro than
thev could attend to , though pn/cklng
night and day. and many tons of tomatoes
In the fields as well as hundreds of bushels
brought to mnrkct consequently went to
waste. ' As a result of the rapid maturing
of the early fruit tho. output of the
factories , .though taxed to their utmost
capacity , will , It is stated , turn out to bo
very much shorter than It would have been
had the fruit come along gradually ns it
usually does. However , It is understood
that In Maryland and Delaware at least ,
nnd probably in New Jersey , the pock , al
though likely to fall much below original
expectations , which were based on the
heavy Increase In the acreage. Is likely to
bo a full one. It Is claimed thnt western
packers ihave hod to buy In the east to fill
orders.

CHICAGO , Sept. IS. Wheat today wa
heavy for deferred futures nnd Ilrm for
September. Largo1 receipts nnd a poor cash
demand were factors In the weakness that
developed shortly after the opening. Sep
tember had enough local support to main
tain a good advance ; December closed fcc
lower and September % c higher. Corn was
flrm , closing 14,3 , higher for September and
Uo higher for December. Oats closed un
changed to He lower and provisions un
changed .to 5c higher. Trade was dull In
everything.
An advance In quotations in Liverpool
gave wheat a Ilrm feeling at the opening ,
with prices ranging about Uo higher all
around. . The strength at Liverpool , duo to
the critical condition of affairs In the
Transvaal , brought a number of yester
day's sellers Into the market and buying
from this source while It lasted kept price ?
for deferred futures well above yesterday's
closingpoint. . The .trading , however , was
confined nlmost entirely to local operators
and when shorts Imd satisfied their wants
the market was allowed to drift. For the
remainder of the short Saturday session the
tendency was steadily downward. Receipts
at primary points were heavy , and thla.
coupled with a poor cash demand , few of
Friday s offers being accepted , encouraged
the bear element. Selling pressure was
light at all times , but the buying" demand
was to Black that Httlo liquidation sufficed
to depress prices. In September more
strength wan shown. There was nlmost
nothing" done , but elevator Belling was to
tally absent and the price at all times held
at a good advance. Weakness In the de
ferred futures became more pronounced to
ward the close , when for the first tlmo
liquidation assumed respectable proper
tions. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts
were 1,007 cars , aKaln t 918 last week nnd
1,112 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 153
cars , fourteen of contract grade. The
week's primary receipts were 7,914,000 bu. ,
compared with 8,041,000 bu. a. year ngo. At
lantic port clearances ofwheat and flour
amounted to 607,000 bu : world's shipments ,
It wns estimated , would reach 6,760.000 bu.
Snow weekly crop report estimated the
total wheat crop at about 530,000,000 bu. , and
predicted the government's report 'on ' the
acreage would probably bo revised. This
had some effect. December opened ? GlV4o
higher at 71U714c nnd gradually declined
to 7WSffl709ic , closing at 70-Jc ; September
sold between TlWS lVic and 70Hc and closed
HO higher nt 7H4e.
Corn In the main followed wheat , though
deferred futures did not develop po much
weakness. There was an active demand for
September from shorts , who found some
difficulty In covering" , and the consequent
sharp advance helped deferred futures even
when wheat was declining" . Offerings were
liberal at the advance and best prices did
not hold. Receipts were 931 cars. Decem
ber ranged from 2S io .to 2S29c and closed
Ho Tilgher at 2S-Tig'2Sc ( ; September doped
W higher at 32&c. selling ns high ns 33c.
There was n coed demand for all oats fu
tures early In the session , but later the de
mand slackened and prices receded. The
early strength -was In sympathy with corn.
Moderate realizing marked tha late eesilon.
Receipts were 362 cars. December ranged
from 21 4c to 21V4c and closed unchanged at
21W@21c ; September closed V4o lower nt
Provisions were dull but steady ; prices
were a little higher at the opening with
Krain markets and kept within a narrow
range throughout. A good export demand
for meat ! ) was a feature. At the close Jan
uary pork -was So higher nt J9.6S , January
lard BW@6c hlgh r at tS.45Ii5.47V4 and Jan
uary ribs 2V4o higher ait J4.95fff4.97Vi.
Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat ,

New YorU'a Stringency In Loans
Greatly DeniornlUcn Market.
NEW YORK. Sept. 18-The appearance
of the bank statement effectually dls-
cerseil nil the encouraging- Illusions that
speculative holders of securities have been
dndulRlnpr In for several daya past and
throw the market Into demoralization.
Prices were offered down by plunges and
very heavy blocks were liquidated appar
ently for whatever they would bring. The
local traction stocks were a special mark.
seemingly on the theory that they had not
responded adequately In sympathy with
Brooklyn Rapid Transit. Metropolitan
elumned an extreme 14V4 points and Man
hattan 6. Brooklyn Transit Itself was
somewhat relieved from the recent severe
pressure and held firmly at 88 or above
through most of the storm In the late mar
ket. The other Flower stocks were fiercely
Attacked. People's Gas dropping nearly ,
Rock Island 2 < 4 and Federal Steel 114.
Sucar fell an extreme 4V4 and Tobacco 3 .
Losses elsewhere in the specialties ex
tended between 3 and 3 points in numer
ous cases. St. Paul suffered from con-
tlnued liquidation even before the late
break and after th bank statement ap
peared It dropped an extreme 1ft , to 128.
Manv railroad stocks fell a point or over.
The violent declines Invited tha taking of
some quick profits toy the bears , which
caused feverish rallies. In Metropolitan
the rallv reached over 3 point * . But the
tone of the speculation at the closing was
completely demoralized and prices In many
rases were still being offered down rapidly
Jn thft frantic efforts of holders to unload.
Thn losses Jn cash by the banks for the
week were over * 2.00ft,000 less than had
been foreshadowed by the known move
ments , but on the other hand a contrac
tion In loans had been expected to reach
as hleh aa $25.000,000 , according to some
estimates. As the return showed a reduc
tion of only t7.854.400 Jn loans the net result
broucht the surplus reserves down to about
1250.000 of the legal requirement.
Stocks hold on margin and with borrowed
money have been forced to sale In large
volume during the week , with resulting
raids upon the market , prices reaching a
considerable figure In some cases. Last
Saturday's bank statement , showing re-
yervMi of a number of the clearing house
institutions already bellow their legal limit ,
made It certain that there would be loan
contraction and the bears were eager to
anticipate thn selling which was In pros
pect. Rates for call loam were , marked up
on Mondav and Tuesday by reason of the
eacer bidding of would-be borrowers , who
were seeking to shift loans which had been
enllnl. The volume of llfiuiantlon lnrtlCAtr.1
clMrly enough thnt many were unable to
pet accommodations oven nt the higher
Ifvol , The bears sold so InduMrlounly thnt
their demand to cover short contracts
worked a shnrp rnlly on Wednesday , when
the banks censed In CAN In loans nnd the
tiressuro of forced liquidation wn.i relaxed.
But when the demand from the shorts wns
satisfied the mnrkct fell back again. The
reactionary tendency was emphnslr.ed by
thn refusal of the St. I'nul directors to
extisnrt the disbursement of the Isrfie HUT-
nlus earnings of thft year beyond the regu
lar dividend rate. The decision was calcu
lated to have the more effect on the rail
road Block * since many stocks have been
lifted on speculative buying bared on ex-
nectntlon of Increased dividends. Few of
these stocks can show ns large a surplus of
current carnlnRs as St. I'nul and many ore
In far more urgent need of expenditures on
structure and equipment In order to In
crease the operating efficiency. The an
nual report of nearly every Important rail
road that comes to hand contains the.
name utorv of diminishing rates for trans-
nortatlon. The ton-mile , rrvcnuo was never
so low before and Is still declining and the
further reductions In ton-mile cost of
operation , thus made. r.tcEiisiiry. Is only to
be achieved by enormous outlays of capi
tal for Improving roadbeds and track
equipment and structures and cutting
down of grades so as to make possible the
carrying of heavier trntnloads.
The relaxat'.on of the money stringency
after the banks had reduced their llab lilies
on account of loans led to an optimistic
mtd-wccik view of the money outlook ,
which , 'however , wa ? not long maintained.
A somewhat exaggerated eltert wns pro
duced on sentiment by the decision of tin
Treasury department to anticipate the pay
ment of October 1 Interest on government
bond' . Last year's experience In a elml.nr
period of stock market need of money
demonstrated , that holders of government
bonds were not Inclined to avail themselves
of the offered privilege. The relief , at best ,
would be small and Is not Immediately
available. With continued demand for cash
In sight , both from the treasury and from
Interior money centers , no source of re
plenishment Is discernible. Bankers , In
fact , express themselves ns well content
with the existing rate for money and arc
not disposed to seek means for the relief
of speculative borrowers. They hold the
view Mint a check on undue speculation and
a weeding out of weak speculative accounts
makes for the safety of the llnanclal fabric.
The causes of the firmness of sterling ex
change with money rntes In New York far
above the London level and a supposed
cnUlt balance In our favor of many mil
lions , docs not find very adequate explana
tion. There are paid to have been large re-
calpts from abroad of securities , but Rolling
from that source has not been In ovldenca
through the regular agencies. Foreign
houses In New York hnvo lent money here
during .the week. The purpose may be to
ease the money rate arul so defer the pres
sure on London for gold until the Trans
vaal crisis has resolved Itself In some way.
The movement of cotton Is backward and
short Boilers of sterling against expected
cotton bills hnvo kept up the cxcmuigs
rate with a demand to cover. Those causes
can operate only temporarily to keep up
the exchange rate , but for the present sur
plus money for stock market operations Is
not In sight.
Bonds have moved in sympathy with
stocks , but not as widely. United Stares 6s
advanced U In the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : The markets
here were dull In 'tone and weak , awaiting
the Transvaal reply. Bear covering brought
a fractional rnlly toward the close. Amer
icana opened weak , but closed above the
worst , showing fractional losses : Spanish
Is were GOft ; tfntos , 46 % : Anacondng , 113-16 ;
Bostons 11V4 ; Utuhs , &V . The bank bought
42,000 in gold bars and 100,000 was taken
for the Cape.

CATTLE About half of all the cattle ,
here were consigned direct to packers and
were not offered for sale. The balance con
sisted principally of feeders. Not a single
load of beef steers was reported In the
yards and there was nothing to make a
test of the market. A half dozen loads of
cows and heifers , which sold at about
yesterday's prices , comprised about all the
killing cattle in sight. The feeder trade , as
usual on tha last day of the week , was
slow and there was very little of Interest to
report concerning the trade. What cattle
sold went at Just about Friday's prices.
Receipts of cattle for the week were
liberal , but for the most part made up of
range stuff. Cornfed steers were In
moderate supply on most days and the
market for the week did not show much
change. Toward the last of the week
sellers In sone : cases reported that they
were unablu to dispose of their holdings to
quite such good advantage as earlier in
the week , what change may have taken
pice , however , was small and of very little
Importance. During the latter halt of the
week thers have not been enough gross
beef steers m the yards to make a test of
the market , the few here bilng very much
on the coTiimonlsh order.
The market on co\v and heifers ho had
a downward tendency nnd for the week It
is safe to say that values are all of lS@20c
lower. Some would say more than that on
certain kinds. Bulls for feeding purposes
have been good sellers all the week and
there appears to be plenty of buyers In
the yards. Ve.nl calves were very scarce
all the week and on some days hardly any
have been offered.
The feeder market broke badly during
the week. The best heavy cattle suffered
the least ana : ould not be quoted over
10@15c lower for the week. On the other
hand common to medium kinds have de
clined anywhere from Me to 40c from the
high time , and moreover hava been slow
sale even at that. The causa for such a
pronounced break Is to be found in the
large receipts of that kind of cattle at n
time when the demand Is rather light from
the country. Farmers seldom buy very
freely of the common light cattle until
the stalk fields are ready for them. Rep
resentative sales :

HOGS For the last day of the week there
was a fair run of hogrs , shippers evidently
having confidence In a Continuation of FrJ-
day'e strong market. For once they were
not disappointed , even if It wax a Saturday.
The market opened just about steady with
yesterday and got to be strong , or about
-H ° higher. The market was active and It
became more so later , so that buyers bought
the hogs on the late trains out of the
chutes , before they were yarded. The ex
treme close was hardly so good. The ad
vance was largely on the neavy packing
hogs , which Bold principally at J4.302'4.3J.
Light and light mixed lands gen
erally brought $4.3594.40. The pro
portion of sales at the higher prices
was somewhat larger than yesterday and It
will be noted that the average of nil the
sales is n little higher than yesterday.
The hog marlcei has had Its ups and downa
this week , but there have beun more ups
than downu , BO that there has been e sub
stantial gain In values for the week. More
over , the market on the whole has averaged
higher than last week nnd to that extent nt
leant has been entirely satisfactory to the
sellers. At the beginning of the week It
was .barely . steady with the doge of the
previous week and on Tuesday It declined a
bis 5o. Tuesday proved to be the low day
of the week and , commencing with Wednes
day , the market was higher every day
until the close of the week. It will be
noted from the table of average prices that
the market at the close of the week wan a
big 5o higher than the close of the previous
week and at the high point of the month to
date.

8HEKP Receipts of sticcp today were
light and the market not materially changed
from yesterday.
The receipts of sheep and lambs for the
week were quite large nnd during the first
half of the week the market WH In any
thing but a satisfactory condition. Values
were not only weak , but the demand
seemed to bo lacking In snap and the- trade
was n drag. During the latter half of the
week the market sccmod to brace up and
take on new life , so thnt It was entirely
satUfnclory to the sellers. Values on lambs
especially strengthened up nnd the week
closed with the market In pretty good
shape.
Stocker nnd feeder sheep and lambs have
been In good demand all the week and the
supply of that kind of stuff Is none too
large. There nro apparently n good many

NEW YORK , Sept. 16. COTTON Th
cotton market made a steady start at un
changed prices to on advance of 1 point , but
after a small flurry of activity around the
opening lapsed Into a nervclest condition ,
from which It did not rally. The execution
of a few outside orders found room opera-
torn in control , but no other purpose In
vlow than to even up accounts preparatory
to an untrammcled Sunday interval. Aside
from the regulation factors there was noth
ing In the news on w'Wch to found new
Ideas. The Liverpool market was tame ,
crop data revealed no change of consequence
quence In the cronsL the weaitner south re
mained dry and hot and the crop reports' '
continued on a vigorous scale. The market
for spot cotton closed quiet , with prices un
changed , on the basis of ( ic for middling
