Trade conditions with local Jobbers ha\o
been most satisfactory during the lust week
The demand on the part of rcmllers In
this section of the country continues hisivy
and consequently all tlabscs of goods nro
belnf shipped Into the country at n rapid
rule. Collections , too , arc unusually good ,
the tendency being to do business more
nearly on a cash basis than eNer beforu
Manufacturer ! ! are rapidly adopting the
thirty-day term njstem. which Is qulto dif
ferent from the concession they granted a
iew years ago. This chailgo In the credit
Bymcin , so nhu Jobbere suy , In due to thu
experlcncu of iho last ll\u or six jcars ,
when the evils of extended credit were \lsl-
bli to oviryone Munufncturcra nre In a
position now to put In force these reformed
buulnesH methods , us they call them , be
cause competition is not sh.irp and there IB
a market , for all the goods being manu
factured. ' 1 Menu changes on the pail o'
thu manufacturers of course necessltatu
jobbery making somu alterations In their
terinii of credit , but the general opinion
atems to liu that this tendency to reduce
bmilneta transactions more nearly to a
c-ash bnsls Is of advuntugo to all con
cerned , UH In the long run it la a hardship
to neither the retailer nor the Jobber. The
tendency of the market on practically all
lines la still upward and a. tew sharp ad
vances took place during thu last week.
Wholesale grocers report u good week's
buslne&s und pay thut trade Is moving along
in Just about the same channels li has been
for Rome time p\ist. The market was per
haps more stcaay last wet-k than of late1 , but
the tendency of prices Is still upwind und
eomo lines advancing. In the line ot canned
too J , corn nnd tomatoes arc nt present at
tracting the most attention , und
particularly Is this true of thu former. It
is claimed that not In a good many jears
liu-s thu market on thcso lines been In tmch
a strong position , with such light stocks so
close to the end of the packing season.
Farinaceous goods are very llrm , oitmeul ,
buckwheat Hour , beans , tuplcon ami sago
all being quoted a little higher than they
were a week ago. The market on sugar ,
dried fruits nnd coffee Is In practically the
eumo position it was n. week ago , but nuts
of nearly all kinds uro advancing.
I'rlccn Xenrluu the Top.
Hardware men uro also well pleased with
the way business la going They say theio
seems to be no lot up In the number or
6lze of the orders received , and nearly the
tmmo may bo uuUl of 'the ' number of ad
vances. Thu advances of last week , how
ever. wcro not of much Importance to the
general trade and were mostly confined to
the lesser lines. In speaking of the future
of the hardware market a prominent Jobber
uald that present Indications lead to the
opinion that prices on most staple lines
Imve pretty nearly reached the top notch ,
but that less Important lines will continue
to advance for Homo time There Is , how
ever , not the slightest Indication of weak
ness In the market for staples , but on
the contrary there Is every Indication of
strength. As un example of the general
confluence In future pi Ices It might bo
mated that the railroads have already
placed orders for 1,000 000 tons of rails , to
be delivered during the coming year. The
> rlce paid , so advices from the e\ist state ,
} s the present market value of $33 per ton ,
BO It Is evident thit railroad otllcutls are
not looking for . break In thu market. The
I total output of all the rail mills during the
Jiresent 3 ear Is estimated at not more than
SOO.OOU tons , which Is 400,000 tons less than
their contracts call for , and consequently
that much must bo carried over until next
jear. iFrom these figures It Is seen that
at the present time the steel roll mlllb have
contracted for next sear about 77 per cent
of their unnual capacity , which is con
sidered another good Indication that the
Iron and steel market will bo fully main
tained for at least another year.
Morms
fTho demand for dry goods In a wholesale
way continues to bo exceedingly heu.vy.
atomllers out through the country , and
typeclally In the far west where some
severe storms have been experienced , uro
dulng a big business and anticipating u ailll
t'renter demand. Local Jobbers consequently
uro kept busy lining the ouleia that are
coming in Irom every direction. The gen
eral tone of the market Is just about the
tame aw It has been all along. Print goodB
ure porhapa a Httlo stronger , but practically
nil lines are conutantly Jlrmingup , with , the
ticmand. far exceeding the supply.
Iliibber Goods Active.
Nothing particularly new waa reported by
thu boot und shoe men. There Is a good
ileady trade in footwear , much better , In
fact , than could be reasonably expected
considering the weather. Everyone Is look
ing for 11 Dig re-order busluety to net In OH
BOOH as the retailers' stocks are broken up
u Httlo more , which will not take long
after cold weather sets in. The rubber
t'ood.s trade hibl week experienced quite
a spurt. UH retailers arc- anxious to get
their stocks before the 6 per cent advance ,
announced for November i , gee Into effect.
Local Jobbers su > they have hud about ull
they could do to 1111 their orders and will
3jo kept busy for buverul days filling the
orders already iccelved. a hero has been
u heavy tiauo th.s reason In what are
called seconds , or llghlweight goodn , and
Jobbers are experiencing considerable dlf-
nculty In getting tnock fust enough to till
their orders , us muny of the largest manu-
luctutus are oversold. The exceptionally
heavy run on the lightweight goods is
owing to the tact that they are oueied at
ratner favorable figures ana also to the high
linco ot the heavyweight goods , 'iho ue-
jnand for legglns Is ulfco good this season ,
but snow is needed to 'uting them into
jKHiulurliy.
'Iho hluo market List week showed some
tendency to weaken In anticipation ot the
long-haired hldeB which will soon begin
to come. Receipts are on the Increase.
Triilt mill Produce.
Fruit und produce men found their city
trade rather quiet , lust wee'k. There Is In
reality but Httlo to bo handled Just ut
l > ronent as thu weather Is too warm to do
much in potaioc-ti und marke-t gurdenurs
monopolize much of the vegetable trade.

Fninrattlr SlionlitK of Hunk Stntc-

NEW YORK , Oct. 2S The favornulo
showing made by the bank statement was
a complete surprise to Wall street and ven
turesome bears were caught short. The re
sult was seen In some violent price changes
The expectation of nn unfavorable state
ment was so universal that the beurweie
very active In the first hour and the bulls
were llttlo disposed to push tholr ventuitrs.
The nrlj advance on buying by Lan on 1

out nnd the industrial specialties /.hided
easily In sympathy with the vveaknesn
manifest In Steel und Wire , which dropped
to 454 on continued liquidation und uncov

lliu stocks of. companies In the motnl in |
dustry wore especially vulnerable und Ihere
was profit-taking In the leathei stocks. Tliu
latter were supported by the recently uc-
tlvo pool -ind prices bid up shnrply. This
prompted some covering by the bears In
olher IndiiHirialB before the appearance I
of the bunk statement. But the Hcramble
for stocks Immedlutely upon the publication
of the stalenient showed that large bear
coitr.iclB lemulned uncovered The bulls

most Influential factor In the week's ud-

such proportions that there Is enough lo
keep the competing companies all pioiitcbly
employed. It Is conclusive contlrn.titlon of
the significance of Intelligence received from
all quarters of the conjeste-d fre'ghl car
famines and eater demand for new railroad
equipment ? The announcement of the New
York Central's Intentions to devote the pro
ceeds of Its new stock Issue ot $16,00 , OiO
to acquiring urgently needed new wjuipmcnt
attracted additional Interest to the sub
ject.
ject.Another
Another Influence on the sentiment was
the announcement ot the closing of con
tracts by the great rnllrond companies for
steel rails next year to the extent of 1,500-
000 tons previous to the advance In price
Several of the largest railroads have de
layed these contracls apparently with Ihe
hope that the prices ot iron products would
relax. The decision to accept the present
level ot prices for so vast a quantity of
product bv nilthorlt'cs who o opportunities
for information It so far-renchlnir nnd
whose Judgment In large nffulrs Is so skill
ful gee * fnr to stengthen the general faith
In nn extension ot the period of prosperity
Ihe largo orders placed by rnilronds all
over the country for new freight ear lend
to tlu sanit conviction. The future demand
Is thus assured to counteract the theory
that Iron prices would react with those ot
copper , tin nnd other metals
'Ihe multiplying evidences of unprece
dented activity nnd prosperity In business
have caused relaxation of pressure against
even the "green" Industrials , which have
been much In dlsfnvor on account of dls
closmcj regarding the capitalization and
method of valuation of constituent com
panies There have been conspicuous * ex
amples of price collapse In this class during
the vveek , but Insiders have showed moro
Inclination to support the securities than In
other recent Instance * of a similar nature
Money has become easier at Interior points
during the week ind the piessuro upon New

CATTLE As will be noted from the table
of receipts there were no cuttle here to
trnko u market and the yurds were prac
tically deserted
Considering the size of the receipts and
all other circumstances the cattle market
this week has been In fairly Batibfaclory
condition for ull parties concerned. Beef
cittlo were , easier earlier in the week and
then thov strengthened nn agiln , so that at
the close ot the week the market is not
much different from what It wns u week
ugo In other words , cornfod and gra s
beef steers ure selling Just about wheie
they were a week ngo
Cows und heifers have ieon fair sellers
all the week. They were a little easlei on
some dayf , owing to large receipts , nnd
btrongcr on others , so that for the. week
there is not much change. Good feeding
heifers seemed to be in a little better-de
mand toward the last of the week and
they might be quoted u little strongei
Bulls have sold In about the same notcheb
ull the week , both killers and feeders
Heavy feeding -itcors show a gnln over
a week ugo of lOJjlGo and good light cattle
15(5COc ( gain The demand for fecd'ng cattle
and especially Block cattle seemed to pick
up very much right after the rains reed-
Ing cows were also In good demand and
sold well the last of the week At the
clone of the vveek practically nil kinds of
cattle are disposed of and the yards com
pletely cleared Representative sales ;

HOGS Today's hog market was steady
to a little easier thun yesterday's general
market nnd the clcwe was a little slow and
weak owing to the fact that It was the last
day of the week and the receipts were
liberal. Still there VN.IS a good demand and
the peno were cleared In reasonably gjod
Deuson As > was the case yesterday It was
laigcly a lOo market nnd the big bulk of
all the hogH of all weights sold at that
price nnd there were not many sule % ubovo
or below tlmt price.
The hog market has fluctuated
coiiB'dernbly this vveek. In the Hist place
viilucs made a little Jump the first of the
week , then dropped bnck on Tuesday , with
the market wenk ugaln on Wednesday.
Tl'cn vnluen took n still greater Jump on
Thursday , the market on that day showing
an average gain of 8c for nil the hogs sold.
On Prlduy all the guln und more , too , was
lost , so tha the week closed with the mar
ket n shudo lower than It was nt iho clo o
of the previous vveek The table of aver
age prices will ehow the exnct fluctuations
from day to day nnd will nlso serve to
give nn uxuct Idi-n of the market changes
since the beginning of the month. Rep
