10 THE OMATIA DAILY BEEt SATURDAY , SEPTEMBER 30 , 1899. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL flaw Orleans' Finny in Cotton Booms Chicago cage Canals in Sympathy , for a Time. PROVISIONS ARE DULL AND IRREGULAR Corn AUrniiGPN Nearly Two Cent * nnil Clone * nt it Decline Wheat , llrcnkn Ilndljon Ofter- r lnn OntH bower. CHICAGO , Bcpt. 29.-Septcmber trading prominent In all the grain markets todays and prices covered n. remarkably \vldo range. Heavy covering by shorts In corn advanced September nearly 2c , but Jt closed at U ? decline. September wheat broke 202V&0 on liberal orfcrings , Decem ber closed UifHc lower. Oats closed Uu lower for September and a shade lower tor December. The excitement In the Now Orleans cotton market caused free covering by shorts early In the day. 1'rovlslons closed unchanged to EC lower. Early trading In wheat was without fouuro. The market opened at practic ally unchanged values and for some time kept within an extremely narrow range , with what little trading there was doing confined principally to scalpers. A bull ish sentiment was shown by traders and before 11 o'clock the market had become fairly active. No Important advance oc curred , however , until the Now Orleans cotton , market was put Into a state of ex citement by bogus cables and the wildness - ness of prices there was sympathized In by wheat shorts , the deferred futures Hearing a good advance on free covering. The critical state of affairs In the Trans vaal had some Influence , though there was some disappointment over the slight advance at Liverpool , Light primary re ceipts also attracted a good deal of at tention , Increasing the belief that winter wheat supplies were low. An active de mand was reported for Hour from both the United Kingdom und the continent. The market was strong and active until late In the session , Shortly before the close the market became weak and prices declined rapidly. An increase In the Htocks at Minneapolis and Duluth Indi cating a good Increase In the visible next week , was a factor toward the end , and when It became known that thu Now Orleans cotton advance was bogus , gen eral selling and disquiet resulted. Sep tember was not heard of much until near the close , when from a premium of lc It dropped to a cent discount on free offerings by long Interests. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 869 cars , against 048 last week , and 1.208 a year ago. Chicago cage receipts were 161 cars , ono of con tract grade. Total primary receipts were 974,000 bu , , compared with 1,542,000 bu. a year ago. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour amounted to 278,000 bu. , light on account of the Now York holiday. December opened unchanged at 73c. It advanced to 74 &c during the ex citement over cotton and declined to 73J4ij ) 73c , closing at that price. September ttold as high as 74o and declined to 72&72c , where It closed. Corn was nervous and Irregular , the market , llko wheat , being affected by the Now Orleans cotton excitement. Shorts were heavy bidders for September early In the session and prices advanced sharply. Late futures followed the ad vance to a certain extent , though Inclined to drag a llttlo on the prospects of an early marketing of the new crop. When the artificial cause of the New Orleans advance became known there was a gen eral letting go and prices dropped rapidly , the market becoming heavy toward the close. Receipts were 906 cars. The cash demand was reported good. December ranged from 29c to 30c , and closed Ho lower at 30c. September ranged from 82 0 to 34Mc , and closed Uc lower at S2 c. Oats , In a general way , followed other uraln markets. Trading was Influenced somewhat by the cotton jump , September advancing % c early on free covering by shorts and deferred futures also acting strong. Everything turned weak late In the session , early buyers soiling freely , nnd the market closed easy at Irregular declines. Receipts were 195 cars. The strong cash situation had some Influence on early trading. December ranged from 220 > 22o to 23'Ac. nnd closed a shade lower at 22c. September ranged from to 22c , and closed Uc lower at ISi. Provisions were rather dull and Irregu lar. Some strength was shown early with the grain markets , but later liquidation of long stuff resulted In slight declines in pork and ribs. The weakness at the stock yards had some effect. At the close January pork was Be lower at $9.76 : January lard unchanged at $5.62 } , and January ribs , 2&c lower , at $5.10.

Woo ! Market. BOSTON , Sept. 23.-WOOL The Boston Commercial Bulletin tomorrow will say of the wool market : The wool market this week , fortified by a Hteadlly advancing market in London , has presented a very firm front. Prices have been raised to correspond with the advance abroad and have remained with iv dciggediiuss that tends to lower sales , although this week's Hales are no small figure. Despite the exceedingly bullish news from London , where it Is asserted that we have not begun tp appreciate , the state of things yet on this side , * the high rates obtaining on money recently have undoubtedly servedtn reduce the buying on speculation. At every point there Is the same pervading firmness no ticeable , with holders qulta content to wait until buyers como to their terms , ns they have previously , Sales of the week , 11,611.000 pounds domestic and 2t > 6,000 pounds forolgn , a total of 10,925WO last week , und a total of 1,367.000 the corresponding week last year.

NEW YORK , Sept. 29. n. 0. Dun & Co.'a Weekly Review of Trade will say : September la the twelfth consecutive month In which the volume of business , both at New York and outside , has been greater than In the same imonth of any previous year. Jjthese twelve months payments through the clearing houses have been $ Mi,600OWOuO , against J61.200.WX ) in the twelve months ending with September , ISiiJ , an increase of $ JS,400,000KW , or over 46 per cent. cent.When the tremendous expansion be.gan men called It replenishment , of long de pleted stocks , then for a time It was called a crazy outburst of speculation , and when the demand still expanded some permanent Increase of business was recognized as a Jesuit of Increased population earning bet ter wages , liut the demind still grows , now ranging about 60 per cent greater .than in 1892 , whllo population , according to the treasury estimates , is 16 per cent greater and wages are not over 10 per cent greater. A reconstruction of business and industries nnd of producing and transporting forces is In progress throughout the land , with re-suits which none can now measure. Iron consumption , instead of 760,000 tons per month In 1892 , Is now over 1,200,000 tons per month , nnd yet Is so far bohlnd the de mand for products that the capacity of most works is sold for on into next year. With sales of 20,000' tona at Plttsburg , Bessemer - somer pig rose to $23.00 , Chicago coke and southern iplg again rose $1 and new fur naces are sold many months ahead before they begin work. Bars are hard to get at any price , the whole output of the Republic company being sold .to January and $2.25 Is quoted for common at Plttsburg , while at Chicago- the great demand for car build ing falls on works overcrowded. Contracts for 8,000 tons of plates have 1)0011 placed at Plttsburg and at all points the price Is ris ing with astonishing demand. Sheets are also higher , with the dwnand Intenslllcd by renewed efforts for consolidation. Shipments of boots and shoes from Boston In nine months have been 3,500,676 cases , against 2,833,6b2 In 1S92 , and In four weeks 390,622 cases , against 360,693 last year , 376,771 In Ii97 , and less In any other year. Hero the Increase Is moro nearly proportioned to population and wages , but works are all a month or more be hind their orders for the season. Spring orders are fair , but restricted still by un willingness of makers to contracts largely nt prices now obtainable , which average about 5 cents advance where makers deem 7',4c necessary. The wool market Is active with a gen eral advance averaging about % c on washPd fleece combing and some un washed ; the entire list quoted by Cootes Brothers probably averages about yc higher. Heavyweight woolens are well cleaned up and of spring worsted many lines are withdrawn , the clays be ing nominally advanced to $1.45 with some fancy worsteds 5 per cent higher. Stronger demand for cotton staples causes an advance of IKc In brown sheetings and drills and ! V4c In some bleached goods. A broader selling arrangement at Fall River- seems likely to prevent the proposed con solidation. Cotton opened the crop year at 6.25 cents and has risen > to 6,87 cents , although about a quarter more has come Into sight than last year from the greatest crop on record , and stocks here and abroad , commercial and mill , are 653,000 bales greater than a year ago. But belief In serious loss by drouths gains ground and also belief In larcely Increased manufacture. Wheat exports from Atlantic and Pacific ports 'have ' been 4,294,386 bu. for the week , flour Included , against 4.861,022 last year , and in four weeks 13,951.2113 bu. , against 15- 061,864 lost year. The foreign demand has aided to sustain prices , which closed % c higher than last week , although -western receipts have been 29.129.518 bu. in the last four weeks , against 31,830,573 last year. Corn is unchanged in price and still in large foreign demand , exports having been in four weeks 12,165,804 bu , , against 8,133,641 last year , with western receipts of 24,433,871 bu. , against 16,319,292 last year. JIENRY CLEWS FINANCIAL HEVIEW. Reaction tn Prices Looked for the Beginning of Next Week. NEW YORK. Sept. 29. ( Special. ) Henry Clews' weekly financial review says : The closing of the Stock exchange and the general suspension of business for the two lost days of tlie week. Incident to the Dewey reception , has entirely broken up the natural course of business In the stock market for the last four days. The pros pect of the Intervention of three days dur ing which there -would bo no access to the market in the event of adverse contingen cies has naturally caused considerable tem porary realizing , and that circumstance has been an invitation to the "bears , " which they have not failed to turn to account. With relatively few buyers and many sellers the course of prices has naturally been downward , and a basis for buying has thus been laid -which , in the absence of new ad verse factons during the interim , may re sult in repurchases , covering of shorts and a consequent reactionary advance in prices at the beginning of next week. Apart , however , from these temporary Interruptions , the position of the market , In respect to certain adverse factors' , shows a tendency toward Improvement , The re covery of $2,500,000 In the surplus reserves of the banks , In spite of still free shipments of currency to the Interior and an excess of $3,730,000 in receipts over payments at the subtreasury for the week , Is a hopeful symptom. It shows that the banks have got the situation under control , and with out any violence to their Wall street cus tomers beyond a sharp discrimination against certain Industrial collaterals. Also , the tone of the London market Is moro set tled , though there Is no abatement In the chances for war -with the Boers , which Is an Indication that the warlike contingencies have been already largely discounted there , leaving so much less disturbance to arise on the actual outbreak of hostilities. Lon don , Paris and Berlin are keeping a sharp eye on the maintenance of their stocks of gold , and may be expected to do all In their power to prevent shipments to this country. And -yet our exports are so large that the foreign banks must calculate upon having to ship the metal to New York In free vol ume at no very\dlstant day. With a steady Increase In the supply of grain and cotton bills and the current great disparity In money rates between New York and Lon don , it Is Impossible that a few days may bring the rate for sterling exchange to fig ures that will admit of our Importing gold. This need not necessarily be an occasion of alarm to London. Within the last two years we have had abundant evidence that a largo debtor balance to the United States may be attended with an absence of im ports of gold to this country. It Is not likely that our banks would euro to bo flooded with foreign supplies of the metal. Their chief Immediate concern Is to see the present stringency relieved through the strengthening of their abnormally low reserves. As above shown , they are already gaining control over that ele ment in their position ; and , In view of the unusually largo stocks of money in the Interior , it would not bo surprising if the reflux of currency from the west set in earlier than usual the more so be cause the western purchases of merchan dise at the east have this season ex ceeded all precedent. Under these cir cumstances , It is not Inconceivable that a moderate Importation of gold say $15,000,000 might bo regarded by the met ropolitan banks as bolter serving their In terests than a larger volume. With the ' return of , say , $30,000,000 of currency from the interior and the receipt of $15,000,000 of gold from Europe , the re serves would bo restored to A condition compatible with steady ease , and their interests would bo better served by ad vancing against foreign exchange and per mitting gold to remain among our Euro pean customers than by encouraging the shipment of the metal hither and forcing stringency abroad at the cost of crippling purchases of our products and forcing an unnatural return of our securities. The factors suggest a probability that wo are approaching the end of acute stringency In the money market and show that the process of recovery Is likely to prove u steady and sura one. How near relief from gold Imports may be , Is Inferable from the fact that sterling sight bills are selling ut within ono cent of the rate at' which floating gold could bo profitably bought in London for export. As these drifts como to bo understood and appreciated the disposition to buy securities may bo expected to gain strength. There Is a dormant conviction that , In the absence of unforeseen unfavorable contingencies , Wall street is destined to see vigorous ac tivity In stocks during the next few months. That conviction has such a strong barts In the unusual prosperity of business and In the rising industrial and commercial status of the country that , judging from experi ence. It would be strange if the speculative spirit did not sooner or later run Into con siderable buoyancy. The increase In the earnings of the railroads strengthens these probabilities. The July earnings of 121 roads surpass all records. The gross re ceipts show an Increase over laat year of I $12,416,000 , or 1S.76 per cfnt , whllo in the net there Is a gain of $3,245,000 , or at the rate of 25.87 per cent. Thrro Is no restraining the effect of such figures , alike on Invest ment and speculation. It seems reasonable to anticipate that such conditions nnd pros pects may produce eager buying so soon as the market Is free from the present mone tary nnd political restraints. This would encourage too much buying , which I don't want to encourage with money now 20 per cent. Meanwhile quick In-and-out turns In the market will prove the safest nnd most remunerative. HHAlISTItliUT'S Fl.NAXClAI , IIBVIBW. Dull Week on 'ClintiHC Some Fea ture * of the Money .Movement. NEW YORK , Sept. 29. Dradetrcet's to day says : The two days' recess on account of the Dewey reception gave a holiday appear ance to the whole week In the vtock mar ket. Largo Intercuts seemed to bo doing nothing nnd the public took no part. The professlonel room traders were therefore In coatrol nnd at Ilrst depressed prices with comparative enso on threatening aspect of the Transvaal situation and more especially on Increased money markets. Now York bank statements last week Hiowed , It Is true , an Increase of $2,600,000 In surplus re serve , but the llguro displaying a further loss of $2,600,000 of cash and a contraction of $17,800,000 In loans could only Indicate that the banks have been mooting the enor mous Interior demand for funds by calling In loans In the stock market. The same proceu was apparent In. the statement put out on Thursday from the clearing house for the four days ending then. Shipments of money to the InterJor continued this week and the October disbursements and the holidays also Influenced the situation , call money being scarcer nnd the demands of the market temporarily more pro.alng. As a result wo have had not only n 6 to 10 per cent money market this week , but ono In whtohi , as on Wednesday , 15 per cent or moro was paid for very considerable amounts. This naturally caused some further liquidation of speculative accounts , though the opportunity for this is to a largo degree exhausted , weakly held stocks being pretty thoroughly shaken out. Brooklyn Rapid Tran'.it held Its position as the active feature. Further conflicting re ports as to the control of the company car ried the price to 93V4 and from there back to 87Vi , with another rJse to 92 % . The stories afloat. Including as they do references to a possible combination of all New York trac tion interests , caused botlh Manhattan and Metropolitan to advance. American To bacco was ono of the few features. It de clined from 124Hto 1164 on selling price and was explnimted by the declaration of only U per cent dividend. The Industrials ; how ever , apart from some tlgns of manipula tive support In the steel group , were neg lected , selling oft easily on moderate pres sure and rallying with equal facility.

Only a few loads of beef steers were in the yards , but the market was slow , and It la safe to say that anything aglde from the best corn-feds is fully 25c lower for the week. Lfite yesterday afternoon a very choice load of l,61S-pound beeves sold as high as J6.JO , the best price paid for a full load this season , but cattle of that kind are very * carcc. Cows and heifers were alow sale this morning and the market was weak and drass-y. Cow stuff is ju t about 25c lower for the week and all kinds of butcher's stock has eased off under the. influence of lower eastern markets and large , local re ceipts * . With feeders it was a sort of catch-as- oatcii-can market. Speculators all had a good many cattle carried over from yes terday and were not inclined to load up with very many more with the prospect of having to carry them over until next week. The result was that the trade in feeders was almost dead this morning , and it was more a queotlon of elllng at all than a question of prices. A few buyers were out and anything that Just happened to please them they would buy , but asde ! from that it was almost impossible for holders to dispose of th Ir cattle. Good feeders , either light or heavy , are generally about 16c lower than on Monday , but the general run of fair to medium quality cattle was 25c lower and common kinds in many cases fully 30c lower.

Sellers were willing to take off 5c , but they were very backward about mak ing any greatar concession than that , so that the trada was rather slow to open and slow after It did open. Buyers seemed to aim at taking off what they put on yes terday , and they succeeded very well In the undertaking : . Heavy hogs if good sold largely at $4.33 with some rough loads below - low Unit figure , and some of the best loads a llttlo above. Light hogs sold largely nt J4.4MN.45 with one choice load at S4.47V4- While tha market was not very active as noted above on account of the reluctance of sellers to make the concessions demanded by the packers the hogs were about all itold in good season. The close was slow and weak.

The market was a little slow to open and itwas rather late before much was accomplished In the way of clearing the pens. No very material change was noted in the market on klllltng stuff. Quite a good many feeders were In the yards and values on that kind were steady.
