During tb Week.
ERYONE TALKED MOST ENCOURAGINGLY
Valnc * on Most Line * of Mcrchniidlnc
Still Have nn Upward Tendency
Strong Ulniioiiltloii to Advance
ou Slltclit Provocation.
The wholesale grocery trade during last
week was unusually heavy for this season
of the year and local jobbers found , that
they had about all they could do to fill
their orders promptly. The general market
la In a very strong position , several sharp'
advances being reported. IJcans went up
IfrftilSo per bushel and all grades of starch
advanced He per pound. The market on
California evaporated peaches la Quoted
from V4o to % o higher than It was a week
ago and evaporated apples have also gone
ui > from % o to HO per pound. The Rulsln
Growers' association o California un-le
nouncod their opening prices last week and
It Is found that they are from IHo to 2o
per pound higher than 'they were a year
ago. The cheese market la still In a very
excited condition and prices continually
advancing , quotations are now from lo to
IHo per pounu higher than they were a week
ago. Canned goods are also very lirm all
aiong the line and especially Is this true of
corn and tomatoes , which are reported a
little higher. Cucumber plckics Inthe bulk
are from 76o to $ l.tw per barrel higher tnan
"they " were at last report. Early trosts , to-
getner With Ao scarcity of cabbage , caused
prices on sauerkraut to advance sharply
last week and It Is said that nearly all the
packers have withdrawn from the market.
llncdvrarc Priced Firm.
Hardware men had about the same re
port to make as was given out a week ago ,
nhat Is , a heavy demand and an advancing
market. The heavy inilux of strangers last
week , of course helped to swell the volume
of business to some extent , so that trade
waa perhaps bettor than It was a week ago.
Retailers who have called on the trade all
epeak very favorably of the condition of
business out through the state and seem to
have a great deal of conildenco in the tuture.
Cold weather goods especially are in big
demand Just at present and every cool day
brings In a new Hood of orders. But It is
not only seasonable goods that are warned
for Jobbers say that practically all lines are
. * / Helling more rapidly than ever before , In
W eplto of the high prices. In regard to the
, / ' condition of the market , there is not much
to bo said us all lines are In a good , strong
posulon and advances constantly taking
place.
Excellent Dry Good * Trade.
The wholesale dry goods houses were full
to overflowing last week with merchants
who hod come to town for business as wall
as for pleasure. Jobbers were expecting a
liusy week and eo were prepared , but now
. that it is all over with they say they had
V a much heavier run of trade than they
/ anticipated. Practically every part of the
ntato was represented and every ono seemed
to bo wall pleased with the outlook for fall
and winter business. Ono noticeable foatura
of Che" trade waa the quality of the goods
ordered. Only the beat lints seem to be
wanted and In fact nothing is too good to
eell no matter whether it bo on the fancy
order or In the etaplo line. The cool
weather is also stimulating the mall orders
DO that local Jobbers are wall pleased with
present conditions.
S ) o Orders Namcrou * .
Boot and ehoe men are also enjoying a
nice trade. They Bay that orders are small ,
but "numerous , whltfh Is Just what they like
to seo. In speaking of the condition of trade
a looal Jobbar remarked that eastern Jobbers
are being slowly but surely crowded out of
the west , for retailers are gradually learn
ing -that by patronizing a market close at
hand they con got prompt shipments and in
that way avoid keeping a heavy stock on
band. Continuing ho sold that It costs an
eastern flrm more to handle the business
and consequently the competition Is un
equal , with tha advantage In favor of the
western Jobber. In comparing the amount
of fall and winter goods shipped into the
country up to tha present tlmo with tha
amount shipped during the corresponding
period of previous years It la found that
ithls year la the best season Omaha. Jobbers
lhavo over experienced. Tha outlook , too.
. for a good , steady trade all winter is most
encouraging and the general opinion is that
at the end of the ilscal year boot and shoe
men will bo able to make a good showing.
In about two weeks traveling men will
start out with spring samples and local
jobbers feel confident 'that ' they have the
dines which will meet with popular approval.
On account of the advance in leather , boots
and shoes will be somewhat higher priced ,
( but the tendency is to keep the price down
as low as possible.
Rubber goods are also beginning to move
at a very satisfactory rate. The fact that
all rubber goods will be advanced 5 < per cent
on November 1 'leads ' Jobbers to think that
trade during the next month will bo quite
active , especially If the weather should ba
favorable.
. The hide market is firming up all along
. the line and in several cases quotations are
\ ) considerably higher than they wore a week
J , ago. Receipts are still not very heavy , but
they are gradually Increasing.
Fruit nnd Produce.
Nothing out of the ordinary took place
on the produce market last week. Trade Is
moving along In about the usual way at this
time of year and prices are remaining fairly
-stationary. - The principal feature of the
) fruit trade Is the scarcity of grapes. Ad
vices from New York show that heavy rains
" have prevented grapes from being picked
and It Is Impossible to get orders tilled. As
-whether the crop Is damaged or not Is
not known , but prices are going up and at
the present tlmo Now York stock is held
ut 20c. There are still some California
crapes in the market and are selling at
from $1.90 to $1.60. The season for Call-
fornla peaches and Bartlett pears IB about
over with , but 'there ' are a few on tha'
market at the quotations given below.
Plums ore also to be had for $1.25L33 per
crate.
The supply of fresh vegetables Is getting
rather 'limited ' , but tomatoes are quite
plentiful and are held at COJf'Oc per crate.
it Is difficult to give quotations on onions
as commission men say it Is hard to din-
poseof thorn at any price and any large
quantity of them would bo a drag on the
market. Celery Is beginning- arrive nnd
Is held at KQaOo per dozen , und Cape Cod
cranberries are- selling nt J5.50 per barrel.
The egg market , owing to light receipts
and a good demand Is somewhat higher
than it was a week ago , ns will be seen
from the quotations given below. The sup
ply of butter is only fair , but prices re
main about the same. The receipts of
' poultry are liberal , but the demand Is good
for both lions and spring chickens at
about 7V&c.
The oyster season Is again well under
way and the demand unusually heavy for
this time of year , Liocal dealers are com
plaining that they cannot begin to get
enough oysters to supply their customers on
account of the heavy storms that hnvo
prevailed in the east the greater part of the
time since the middle of September ,
seriously Interfering with the fishermen , It
Is only a short tlmo. though , before oysters
'will be plentiful nnd then lower prices may
lie expected. The quality of the oysters is
hardly up to 'the usual standard this wea ;
pon. They seem to be thin and rather small
owing to the dry weather which shut off the
supply of fresh water which Is necessary
to make the oyster grow fat.

Receipts of cattle , aswill be noted from
the table of receipts above , were the larg
est for a September In the history of the
yards. The nearest approach to this year
wag In 1837. when almost the same number
arrived. The receipt * of sheep are also the
largest for a September since the opening
of the yards , going considerably ahead of
last year , when the run was considered
large. Receipts of hogs for the month fall
a little short of last year.
CATTLE It Is always thfc same on a
Saturday In the cattle yards und what it
said "of the trade one week would apply
equally well moBt any other week. Satur
day has come -to be the next thing to a
holiday In the cattle markets of the country.
The yards are op n and everyone Is or
hand , but no one expects to do business or
tries very hard. That Is the way It was to
day. There ware tv few cattle In , but the
market was slow and Indifferent and with
out feature of Interest or Importance.
This has been a big week In the cattK
market. Receipts have been large anc
while there has been a good demand for all
kinds of cattle , the market has been steadily
dropping down. During the week grow
beef steers and cornfed steers , excepting
only the very best corn cattle , have de
clined fully 25c. Cows and eifers have also
declined In Just about the same proportion
as fat steers.
A very large proportion of all the cattle
received durlrig the week were thin western
feedorv , and as they came In fas tor than
they went out into the country the market
eased off rapidly. Right good feeders , either
llcht or heavy , have not b an very plentiful
any of the time and for the week they are
no more than 15o lower. The cattle of
medium quality , as a rule , have declined
just about 25c and the common kinds 30 ®
40c. The feeling among operators seems to
be that the next two weeks will see the
end of the big run of western cattle for this
season. Some are anticipating a big demand
for feeding cattle the coming week , but
still they feel rhat prices are plenty high
enough on feeding cattle even after the
dec'ic of the present week. Representative

HOQS For the last day of the week there
was a largo run of hogs , and while that
would under ordinary circumstances be
excuse enough for bearing the market ,
there was u still further weakening Inllu-
cnco In the reports from Chicago. The re
sult was that the packers were able to buy
the hogs a shade Blower tnan yesterday.
Heavy hogs sold largely at $4.300-1.35 , light
loads at $4.37& 4.42H prlncpalyrwlth ! | a few
at $4.45 and a choice load of butcher weights
at $4,47V4. The market was reasonably
active at the decline noted and the most of
the hogs changed hands early. Late trains ,
some of which did not arrive until close to
110 o'clock , and not until orders generally
had been Jllled. did not fare so well , in
fact , the market closed weak at the decline
ami very plow.
Receipts of hogs this week , as well as of
other kinds of live stock , have been liberal ,
but In spite of that fact the market has
be n In good shapa on most every day , Th"
week stnrttM out with values Just where
they were at the close of the previous
week , but the market-cased off a little on
Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday the
market took a turn upwards and the av-
crago price was the highest of the month.
The wck closed with values a little lower
than they were at the opening. Representa

SHEEP There were nvo fresh loads In
the yards this morning and a few odds and
ends carried over from yesterday. As It
was thu last day of the ' "nek the demand
lid not appear to bo very brisk and the
market as a whole was a little slow. The
trade was really without any other feature
worthy of mention.
Arrivals of sheep this week have been
very large and under that Influence nnd the
: aier eastern markets values at this point
have gradually eased off. It is safe at the
present time to say that the market is lOffi
lee lower than a week ago on the general
run of both sheep nnd iambs. While the
market on some days was rather slow the
trade was In pretty good shape consider-
Inp the large receipts , and the condition of
other markotB. A very largo number of
feeding lambs arrived , and met with qulto
ready sale during the llrst half of the week.
Later on , after the more urgent orders
were tilled , the demand was not quite so
brisk and the trade on some days was a
little Inclined to drag.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Settlements In Chicago Wheat nnd Oorn Bear
the Pricss Heavily for September.
PROVISIONS STAND OR GO A SHADE LOWER
Wheat Sclln for n Time at Nearly
Tire Cent * Discount Under
December Corn Ptiturcn
'Drop aFraction. .
CHICAGO , Sept. 30. All the grain nnd
provision markets today were dull to the
vcrgo of stagnation nnd no material
changes in values of deferred futures
took place. September wheat and corn
were in process of liquidation by long
Interests nnd declined sharply. The clos
ing of the New York exchanges hud n.
narrowing effect on trading. September
wheat closed H01 ° lower and December a
shade lower. September corn declined IHc I '
and December J,4c. December oats closed
unchanged. Provisions closed unchanged
to a ehado lower.
Another slight rlso In wheat at Liver
pool , notwithstanding yesterday's decline
in this market , caused wheat to open
firm nnd at a fractional advance. The
action at Liverpool Indicated that traders
in that market took a more serious vlow
of the Transvaal situation nnd caused u
moderate covering movement among local
shorts. There wns also some oatsldo buy
ing through commission houses , licsldes
the strength nt Liverpool the market was
helped by the continued light receipts nt
primary points. The Impression appar
ently prevailed that receipts will continue
to run much lighter than a year ago and
though there was u moderate amount of
realizing at the opening advance , alily n.
slight reaction resulted nt the tlinu and
prices quickly recovered. The market
was In the main a scalping ono nnd the
bear element , timid nt the recent strength
of the market at rather adverse condi
tions , were Inclined to cover nil short con
tracts over Sunday , fearing war develop
ments in the Transvaal. Traders who
sold yesterday were prominent In the
buying. The strength , however , was con-
nneu 10 1110 iiciurrcu luiiues. auiuumuur
shorts had apparently been well tilled up
and moderato offerings by IOIIR Inturcst.s
resulted In a sharp break In the price of
that option. It sold nt one tlmo nt iy c
discount iinder December. Winter wheat
points reported an excellent milling de
mand. Toward the close there was In
creased selling on prospects of a largo
Increase in the visible nnd the slight ad
vance which had prevailed soon disap
peared , The close was rather heavy.
Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were b"6
cars against l.OCG last week and 1,277 a
year ago. Chicago receipts were " 20 cars ,
25 cars of contract grade. Total primary
receipts were 1,2411,000 bu. , against 1 , ( > 2,000
bu. a year ago. Atlantic port clearances
of wheat and flour amounted to 40,000
bu. The visible is cxpcc.tcd to Increase
about 2,000,000 bu. December opened HHo
higher at 73iP. It sold at 78c , then ad
vanced to 73c , and declined to 73'Ac ,
whcro It closed. September declined from
72HJ72 4C at the opening to 71J4o and
closed % © lc lower at 71jc.
The feature of a dull session In corn
was the weakness of the September
option , which declined to lc under
liquidation by prominent longinterests. .
The market was light , shorts having ap
parently covered thoroughly and prices
were easily affected. A heavy Increase In
local contracts Is looked for , and this af
fected speculation. Deferred futures were
rather steady early with wheat , but later
followed September downward , the mar
ket closing heavy. The shipping demand
was fair , considering the New York holi
day. Receipts were 1,289 cars. . December
ranged from 29c to 30c , and closed Ho
lower nt 29T&C. September closed at 31 > , &c.
Oats were quiet and firm. Shorts were
bidders for September and advanced the
price of that option about a cent at one
time , but the Improvement did not hold.
Deferred futures kept within a narrow
rango. The market showed a drooping
tendency late In the day , offerings uolnis
freer nt the advance. Receipts were 321
cars. December ranged from " -Vtc to 23c
and closed unchanged at 22740. Septem
ber closed Uc higher at 22'ic. The cash
demand was moderate.
Trading In provisions was mainly in the
way of changing. The opening was
slightly lower In sympathy with a rather
weak hog market and kept at a slight
discount most of the session. Pankera
were the chief sellers. The cash demand
was not so Rood. At the close January
pork was unchanged at ? 9.75 , January lard
a shade lower at $3.6093.62' , and January
ribs a shade lower at $5.07'/4@5.10.
Estimated receipts Monday : Wheat , 245

I'neker Swift -clliii'H n lloyiU Addi
tion to tilt ; Family.
It Is a. far cry from Belgrade to Boston ,
but diplomats are now speculating us to the
outcome of nesatlatlonB , actively In prog
ress , which will have a vital Influence on
the fortunes of the present reigning ho/use
of Scrvla and powlbly tend to dethrone
one family and Install another In the palace
of Its kings.
Prince Alexis Karageorivlch is the suitor
for the hand 01 Miss MabeJIo Swift , only
child of E. C. Swift of the house of Swift
and Company , the big moat packers , Their
abattoirs are In Chicago , Omaha arid Kansas 1
City , but E , C , Swift's palatial home Is in
Boston.
When Miss Swift nnd her mother were
abroad lust winter , relates a Washington
letter. Miss Reed , the sister of the late
Mrs. Paran Stevens , introduced the prlnca
and the heiress. The 'Servian , whose rank
IH that of hospodar or chief In Ids own
country , is an exile and makes his homo at
the French capital , where lie Is one of the
well known boulevardlers. Ho immediately
laid violent siege to the heiirt of the rich
American girl. So fast and furious was his
wooing llmt 'ho ' got her to consent to an
engagement between themselves pending the
ratification of the mutch by her parents ,
At this stage of the developments the Swifts
returned to the United Stales and have
spent the summer at that wealthy and
magnificent Massachusetts resort which Is
nptly and euphonlcally known as Pride's
Crossing.
Early In 4ho season of the summer girl
the gallant prince hied himself to this re
sort of wealth and fashion. Besides In
gratiating himself with the parents of hla
tlanceo he became distinguished for his skill
at golf and other athletic sports , and as
the summer waned opened negotiations wllh
the elders of the family for the hand of
their daughter. His wooing is not us yet
successful , but he is ardent and de
termined. He has judiciously boomed his
prospects by some clever work In Europe
exploiting nlti chances for the Servian
throne ,
It was Just nt this point that ho met hlH
first momentous obbtaole. The father of
the young woman did not objc-iH to him per
sonally , as he i a B trout' , uctlvo man of
peed habits and morals. In this rcappcl ho
u far superior to other princes. 1'ut ' ihe
shrewd American capitalist argued that ,
while ns a man nnd a KCntlemnn he mlKht
bo a good match for his daughter , ns n king
he wns not to bo considered. The simple
reason of this la that being once a reigning
sovereign it Is more than likely that state
reasons would be found to declare hla
mnrrlnge with Miss Bwllt honorable nnil
valid , but merely v.onninatlc. , ,
Swift pero also ? > < s another reason In that
ho docs not wish Ills wealth squandered In
an attempt to rosnln the throne of Servla
for the house of Black George , which Is the
translation of the family name of the Prince
' '
The'radicn'l objection of Mr. Swift to ratify
the choice of his daughter's heart Is being
mot 1 > y argument on the part of the nsplr-
Ing prince. Upon the danger of hla daughter
being proclaimed merely a morganatic WHO
ho point. to the fact that the romantic nnd
unfortunate Queen Natalie , who was
divorced from the wretched Milan , wna only
the daughter of a Rwalan colonel , and that
Russia never raised nny objections to her
on account of her origin outside of the
families enshrined In the Almanach do
The 'American millionaire , however , re
members the fnto of Betsy Patterson , whoso
mnrrlnKo to Jerome Bonaparte brought so
much 111 Into her life. He therefore threat
ens to disinherit his daughter If she per
sists In her love for the prince.
Meanwhile the lovers nro declaring undyIng -
Ing nnd unalterable love. The prince do-
clnrcs his willingness to mnrry her without
a dollar and Is eloquent In his protestations
that no turn of fortune could ever Induce
him to acknowledge the woman hereafter n
anything but his wife In every sense and
his queen If a happy fate should so ordain.
