Local Jobbers In nil lines reported n
Btcady trade for last week. Prices still
continue to nrlvnnce nt n rapid rate , but
jobbers say that prices arc no longer the
most Important factor , as people seem to
bo willing to pay for what they set. With
wholesale grocers tlio situation Is much the
same ns It was a week nco , but business
If anything Is Increasing In volume. The
market was comparatively steady , though
Boveral Hlmrp advances have been re
ported. Amont ? these Is the advance In
coffco amounting to from fti to le per pound
on the lower grades. The mlvanco is In
Urnzll and Is caused by production beliiB
equalized by demand. In the last few years
there has been a surplus and urowcrs
liavo been obliged to soil , Hn they say , at
ntarvatlon prices. Tlio tea markut Is also
\ \ \ n. very strong position , but no changes
Hro announced. The sugar market Is iiiso
In the damn position It was a werk nKo.
rheeso , however , has been advanced again ,
tlio rise amounting to ' . Hc per pound ,
nnd Indications arc thought to be favorable
for still blKher prlcc.t on October strtk. )
Canned goods arc still Ilrmlnp up nil along
the line. In California fruits there lias
been unite a material advance caused by
light supplies. It Is snld that only broken
lines are now obtainable and those from
only a few packers , the majority of them
being sold tip. Canned mushrooms are also
being quoted 10 per rent higher on ac
count of the light supply. The new pack
of canned oysters Is now being offered on
the market nt prices ranging from 5'n.74c !
per dozen higher than last season. Dried
fruits are In the same position they were
In a week aco.
llurd\vnrc
Hardware Jobbers say that all Indica
tions tit the present lime point to this be
ing the heaviest month they have ever cx-
Iierlenccd. Orders are coming In from nil
quarters for practically all lines nt such
a rapid rate that It Is almost Impossible to
get th i goods with which to Oil the orders
promptly. Local Jobbers , however , are
pretty well stocked up In most lines anil
nay that so far there have been no serloils
delays. The market Is In the snmo posi
tion It has been all along that is , con-
itantly advancing.Vlro nails and wlro
have been marked up about IGc and the
market la very linn nt the advance , wit
no signs of weakness. Another Importan
line which has been marked up during tlio
past week Is stoves. The advance amounts
to about D per cent and stocks are re
ported as being rather low. There are
lines too
other advances on less Important
numerous to mention , and the tone of the
market In general la very linn with prices
tendlnir upward.
Dry ( JooilN Active ,
Dry ptoods Jobbers are also doing a rush
Ing business. Every mall brings In a fresl
batch of orders for Immediate shlnment

It Is a dllllcult matter to get stocks at any
prices. Hosiery manufacturers are sold uj
far Into the future and are obliged to re
fuse orders. The same Is true of silk man
ufacturers , many of whom are sold up tintl

The market on fancy silk ribbons , o ;
course , Is not as tlrm ns on most othe.
lines , but that Is duo to heavy riroduction
and a decrease In the demand , brought
about by the popularity of felt hats. Lo
cally , however , the demand for rlbboni

they have no complaint to make on thai
score.

Boot and shoo Jolibcrs arc doing a good
Bteady business and say that considering
the time of year and the condition of the
weather they are doing unusually well. A
llttlo cold , slippery weather would give re
tailers an active trade and also help out the
jobbers. ( The game conditions would bp of
advantage to the rubber goods men. but
even UH It Is rubber goods are In good de
mand and jobbers are well pleased with the
Dutlook for a good winter's trade.
The hldo market Is In a good strong1 po-

MOVEMENTS OF STOCKS AND UONDS.

NEW YORK. Oct. 21.-The traders in
stocko were unable to Induce any noticeable
movement in prices during- the two hours
of trading. The bears were Inclined to at
tack the industrial specialties when It became -
came evident that the bulls were not In an
aggressive mood. Sales for spot account
were In evidence In the specialties , some of
which dropped oft a point or over. Realiz
ing was also manifest In Pullman and New
York Central , but the decline In prices
brought out no largo offerings of stocks and
the bears had generally covered their con
tracts before the bank statement appeared ,
bringing prlctn back to about last night's
level. A nominal Increase in thp surplus
reserves as seized upon by the bulls to rush
up the price of Sugar In an attempt to In
duce a following. They were ns unpucctss-
ful as the bears and realizing caused a re
actionary tendency In the whole list , which
was very narrow In Its activity. The clos
ing therefore was easy at trivial net
changes either way. The main features of
the bank s'tatement were a ropot'.tlon ' of
those of last week. There Is nothing In Ute
to encourage an expectation of eapler
money , but as last week's similar state
ment led to no renewal of money string
ency , the stock market was Inclined to the
view that thlp week's showing might lead
to no worse result. It Is puzzling to ac
count for the greater ease which has devel
oped In money during the Ian watlc in face
of loan contraction reported by the banks
of $1,35(5.000. ( The stock market borrowers
hope that money will ceuso to How to In
terior points during the coming week.
There nro Intimations of same large holdIngs -
Ings of government bonds by lldurlary In
stitutions , the anticipated Interest upon
which will be applied for ijfxt week and so
bo made available for the money market.
The uneasy and undecided movements of
professional stock operator * ' have caused a
confuted nnd Irregular movement of prices
during the week. As the profetslonals were
mill largely committed to the short side ,
the closing up of accounts 1ms resulted in
higher prices. That the short Interest lias
been largely reduced as a result of th
week's operations and the strength of
Btockti thus technically weakened , la a unto
assumption. The bears have had their pro
fessional oppanents to meet , who wfre quick
to bid up prices where they detected a de
mand from a short Interest. The bears
have sought to facilitate their covering
movement by raiding Individual stocks and
spreading alarmist reports In the hope of
Inducing holders to sell. The growing de
termination of holders not to sell at the
lower level which prices had reached was ,
the source of the uiifaslncfs In the minds I
of thn bears- Operations have been ulmcsi
entirely contlned to there professional '
maneuvers and the public ; hod been o factor '
In the market. In the bond market iheru
has been quite a steady absorption of long
term , well-secured bonds at or below par
nnd of 4 per cent denomination , indicating
a prettniro for Investment for capital con
tented with that rate of return , In spite of
higher interest rates on money prevailing- I
This development In Jiomtg gave a tlrm I
undertone iho Mock market , where the
level of prices In many cases at present
dividend returns Is Inconsistent wnh tie :
high Interest rates ruling. In the money
market ul o I'-ndcre have shown some t !
eagerness to get funds placed on lime at
existing ra.t3. . This desire Has led to con- ,
cessions for some periods. The Central
Paeliio adjustment made very large de
mands on Uie money market on Monday
nnd the faot that the dwnands were tiKt
without crea-tlng a Hurry ndded to the dis
position of benrs to cover contracts in
stocks. It wa xrgued also iihat t > he Insig
nificant volume of applications for the gov
ernment Interim offered In nr.'t'Iolpntlon of
maturity , Indicated that the appearance of
money stringency was somewhat exagger
ated. The oinclnl compilation of the Sep-
twnber 7 reports of tin' national banks
of the whole country shows that the loans
whloh had been called' In by New York
banks had been put out again by other
banks In the progress of the country's busi
ness expansion. The N < lw York contrac
tion from Juno 30 to September 7 of tlG.COO-
000 rcprcsentol spoculntive liquidation In Hie
stock market , while th < < Increase In loans
of outside banks of jso.000,000 Indicated in
dustrial expansion. The exhibit cannot be
called unfavorable even from a stock mar
ket standpoint. If Intrinsic * values nre con-
Blitemi lather than speculative boom values ,
That New York's loan contraction since
that date which amounts to over $ I9,000H (
has diverted Into thn ame 'healthy ' cJian-
nels there Is no room to question.
The- Incidental throwing out of collatt"ral
security of millions of doubtful Industtlal
stocks has materially lessened their pos
sible power for mischief In ease of price/
collapse. With an ctlvc demand for crddlts
In business la which sterling exchange IB
hovering near the gold export point , there
sce-ms no likelihood of monc'y ' declining tea
a point to invite active speoulxMon In
1 toeks. It would be a striking anomaly for
gold to move outwards at this season ,
I whit h Is the usual period for Imports , In
i face of the most prosperous year In the hls-
I lory of our foreign commerce. For , while
! the excess of our merchandise exports over
Imports for nine months this year Is about
J7Gaw.OOO lews than last year , our net Im
ports of gold for nine months this year nro
j $113.ivi0 , ! < 30 less than lost year , according to
tiho llgures of 'tho ' tnUsury bureau of nla-
\ tlslics. The trade , balance In our favor un
liquidated by gold payments , Is therefore
over t37,000OM greater this year than last.
Gold exports under these circumstances
would mean that in spite of the world owing
i us the largttst , de1 > t for a year In our his
tory , we are still the better supplied wMh
' money nnd can afford to lend.
Th. ' market for bonds has broadened out
during the week nml prices have improved.

CATTLE Receipts ofattic were light , as
usual on the lust day of the wt k , and al
most half of t'ho ' few here were direct to
packers. In other words , there were not
enoug-h cattle herd to make a market and
the yards presented a holiday appearance.
The cabtlo market this week hau shown
some changes , mostly on the sideof lower
prices , and atill the market its a whole , has
not been In bad shape by any means. ' Under
Uie Influence of the decline' at eastern points
cornfed cattle that are not finished are
1015c lower , but prime cornfeds arc fully
steady. The best grades of western grass
beef steers ure fully steady , but the- common
kinds are easier.
Cows ami heifers sold In about the same
notcihtte all the week and value-3 have shown
little change. Receipts have been light , and
that fact has helped to maintain Uie mar
ket. One thing is noticeable. , nnd that Is
that cornfed cows are not selling any too
ivtll , for the reason Oiat they come Into
Vlreot competition with the grass cows ,
vhlcJi are killing out pretty well.
Interest has centered very largely this
veek In stookers and fetMers , which con-
tltute the bulk of the receipts. In regard
o this class of entitle It may be said that
oed fleshy cattle , of good colors as well ns >
uallty , dehorned , art1 no lower , owing to
he very good demand. The common to
medium kinds of stockers are lOtfloc lower
'or the week and on some days they were
'dry slow sale. There 'has buon no time
his yr when the medium kimls wore as
ow as they are now. Some prntity fairish
kinds of ca/ttle sold the latter part of the
week at J3.SO. The * oattlci that are selling
down to $3.00 are very common , In addition
o being off colors. Renrcsentatlve sales :

HOGS The market opened weak to 2V4e
.ower this morning , was fairly active at the
decline and closed with the early decline
recovered , or about steady with yosterdny'h
market. For a Saturday the damana
Bi'cmed to bo quite brisk nnd It was owlrut
to the fact that there were not enough
hogs to supply all demands that the market
closed stronger. Everything was sold anil
welched uu at an early hour.
The tendency of the hog market this
week has been lower , The week started
nut lower nnd values tended steadily down
ward until Wednesday , when the average
price of all the hogs sohl was $4.10 , which
was the low point of the week. Tlioro
was an advance of 5c on Thursday , but
the market from that day until tlio close
was weak. The demand on the part of the
packers has boon good " " 'i ' thn week , but
ut the same time buyers have been on the
bear sldo nnd have forced the market dow
us much as poslblo still the market .u
this point has been fully as good as east
ern markets. It will bo noted that there
has been a marked change In one respect
slni'o a week ago. Light hogs are no
longer selling at such a premium over
heavy an v > ns the casn a short time ago.
Light , heavy nnd mixed are at the close
of the week selling very closely together ,
quality moro than weight determining tlio
price. Representative sales :
