CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Volume of Business for August Heavier Than Same Month Last Year. FALL TRADE STARTING OUT IN GOOD SHAPE ainrkrt (irnrrnllr About Sternly, TlimiKli (hi- Tendency of Prior la L'pivnrd Itntlirr 'I'll tin Dim inwinl. The votumn of bulno!3 Is now rapidly Increasing In practically all lines. It could not be enld, however, that trade was quiet during the summer month, ns Jobbers re port substantial calns over the records of last year. The demand bus been for no particular lines, but simply a general cnll for nil classes of scasonahlo goods. In view of the, fnrt that the consuming de mand has kept up to well during the quiet oason. Jobbers flguro that traao during this fall and winter should be far In excess of that transacted during tho correspond lug period of last year. Tho fall demand la already opening up In nlco shape and uic number of buyers coming on the mar ket Is rapidly Increasing. It Is thought, however, that there are not as many mer chants coming In at the present time ns there WOtllll tr ivi.n. Il tint nr tin. fnct lhn the big proportion of them are pintponlng iieir visn 10 tills cliy until tile AK-Mir- Jien festivities shall lie In fil l swing.

There was not much change In mnrket r'ondltlnns durlnif the nast week. With a few exceptions, howov.r, the tendency if jinces is upwnru. Tins is pnrticuiiir-y iiollceable In dry good and hardware. Til Iron and steel market has, of course, he' n lit rather bad shape for snino time past find prices went down at a rapid rate. In dications now are that the bottom hn.i been reached and predictions ore helm inado that higher prices will rule In the near future. If that Is the case tho ten dency will be to strengthen the market on all lines which contain either of those Jiroducts. Armtln'i favorable feature Is the lieavy demand that Is anticipated for all i-lasses of goods, which should bo sulllclent to keep mills and manufacturers busy for eomo time to come. (iriifcrli'H Mioiil Mcndy. There Imve be u comparatively few mar ket changes tins week on ill" staple lines of groceries l'rl' es. however, are holding tlrm on nearlv all tines nod the market ns a whole In a int healthv condition The demand, locally. Is exceptionally lieavy for this time of the year and a sood gain over last year's report are being xnnde. Tho sugnr market Is still attracting a great deal of attention, and while I re-re liavo been no change In quotations slico last report, prlcis are being held very tlrmly. Those who are In a position t' know state that If the demnnd during the next few weeks Is ns h-avy as predicted there Is apt to be some dlllltulty In gcttlnrr Mipplles rapidly enough to (III orders promptly. The local market, however, Is In better shiim- than mot other points an I jobbers sny thov can ha-.dle an immense nmoiint of business. Tho coffee- market Is still very dull and weak. The advance oo greens that was reported a week ago has been lost and eastern markets are very dull. It Is prolm tdy truo that the nirlvul of tho lew cro.i on the market, together with the 1 ti-; -continued hot went her. ha had much to 110 with the falling off 111 trade, and tin general opinion Is that a g.ent Improve ment will take place In the m.ir future and tirlces advance Tho salmon market Is very llrm and It Is reported that the supply of cheap stock Is bout cleaned up. 'I hen- Is. however, plenty of high grade stock nt the present time. Present prices on Alaska salmon nro lully 111 per cent higher than they were a year go. The new pack will arrive here the latter part of the month or early In Octo licr. The demand Horn all sources Is un usually heavy both at homo and abroad. The English army Is consuming large quantities, as they huve adopted salmon as a n-cular ration There Is no change to report 111 cither eastern or California canned goods, though the market Is llrm on nil lines. Cheese Is also tho naim n It was a week ago. There Is nothing to bo said regarding tho dried fruit situation except that tho California l'rult Growers' association has announced Its opening prices on prunes. The smalt Hlzes are plentiful ami prices are com paratively low, but the large sixes nro scarce and for that teason are held nt good firm prices. The 10-50 ske Is quoted at 8-V tier pound, delivered at Uinulia In carload lots, which Is nearly 2c. higher than the quotations ruling In lWfl. Hotter I'VclliiK In lliirilti lire. The hardware market Is in considerably licttcr shape III. in It Iiiih been for some time past. The downward course of prices has nl last been stopped, and, while there has not bce.i any advance as yet, the matket Is (Inner and Indications are that values nro Just at the turning point and tho next move, will he upward rather than down ward. Iron and steel men are holding their goods nt firmer prices anil state that tho demand bus greatly Increased within the lust few days. Many dealers seem to llgure that this Is the low point and consequently nro trying to buv In anticipation of future wnnts. That being the case Indications are favorable for u good, active market for romo tlmo to come Loonlly the trade situation Is very satis factory. The demand Is exceptionally heavy for this season of tho year ami fall busi ness Is now starting out In nice shape. In a short time fall business will he In full wliig and the way things look now it will bo heavier than ever before. Dry (iomlM Market I' I nil. There has not been much If any change In tho dry goods market since last report. Hosiery, underwear and In fact all lines of cotton goods nro belli:; held at very llrm prices. Trade Is gradually Increasing and tiiutiufacturers are all looking for mi Im mense trade .is soon us tho market becomes rettkd. Trado at this point has not been very lieavy for tho last week or more. Not as many inurchants are coming on tho market ns were expected, but that fact Is causing no alarm, as many of them no doubt aro waiting for the Ak-Snr-IIen festivities bo foro coming to this city. Everything points to a good trade the latter part of this month and preparations nro being made for tho heaviest fall and winter trado that has ever been experienced. Ciood Dcuiniiil fur .Shoe. Hoot and shoo men report a good demand for fall and winter shoes and say that wherever a man can bo found who has not placed his order tho lateness of tho senson makes him fairly easy to land. A nlco trado Is anticipated from merchants who will bo In Omaha during this month, as many have put off buying until they arrive hero and have an opportunity to Inspect tho Htoeki. Thero Is also a good trado In rubber goods owing to a large extent to tho fact that there Is to bo up, advance of 5 per cent next month Dealers who have hesitated about buying for fear of lower prices aro now rushing In their oulers be fore tho advance goes Into effoct. That applies more particularly to footwear, but rubber clothing Is also being held at good, llrm prices. Tho hide market Is holding just about steady and jobbers do not seem to know In which direction tho next movo will be. l'rult mill Produce, There has been a good trado this week In fruit and also In vegetables. Utah and Colorado fruit Is now being offered on tho market nt prices not materially different from those ranging on California fruit Over sixty cars of fruit were handled on this market last month, which wero the heaviest receipts for a single mouth on record. There has boen no material change In the quotations on vegetables and about tho same Hues nro being offered. Poultry Is tho samo with the exception of Hprlng chickens, which nro lower. Eggs and butter remain tho time. ni:v ionic ;r..i:n.i, mahkht. Quotations for the l)n- on Various Commodities, NEW YORK, Sept.

With tho excen- tlon of a dabbling speculation In som.i of the specialties, notably Pecple's das. Suuar nnd Ilrooklyn Transit, no particular Inter est was attached to the dealing.!. The holiday In London aggravated the ditlln- ss and the weakness of tho .icilvn specialties made tho general ti no heavy. The Im pending strike of anthracite mill ern hud a depressing Influence on sentiment gn erally, though the coalers themselves weto llttlo affected. New Jersey Central re ceived most of Its early decline mid Read ing llrst preferred was not down moru than a fraction at nny time. No:,e of the other stocks of unthraclto carrying roads was dealt In. Tho comparative firmness of the coalers w-as partly due to tho recent laige outpv of coal from tho mines and partly 10 a belief that tho strike might be retrlclo within narrow limits. Urn the pnspe t of n, controversy affecting so largo a body of laborers and such Inrge investments of capital being abandoned to hostile meth ods for settlement aroused uneaslneai among holders and operators In securltlei Yesterday's recovery In ltrnnklyii Tronslt gave place to a relapse today and People s Ons continues wenk In spite of an effort to make It appear that the Chicago CJ.ib was covered by 1111 understanding between tho contending companies A largo de mand from the shorts rallied the stoclc and practleallv nil the loss was recovered. Tho weak bank return filled to aff-ct tlo market. The movement of currency to the Interior has evidently been much larger than tho preliminary estimates In dicated It Is evident nlso that lh- banks hnvn been obliged to draw on (heir legil tenders to meet tills demand. It had been expected that tho Interior demand tli'x fall nilfht be met by the newiv Issu d notes of tho New York banks, which ! not figure In the onh set nslde to mfet tho legal reserve requirement. The figures of tho banks show that this has not bee-i the case. The loan Inereise was nvule I--the local money market on time loans and on purchiino of commercial paper. Insto d of on sterling collateral, n- ha b-en the case for some tlmo par. The n"t rerv Is a decline 111 the surplus of a Utile over tl.000,000 The stock market made u r lis -start again this week after tho three day-i of Idlencs, nnd after n brief fjnrrv 1 f activity dropped back Into its leih'arg and prices sagged acnln to the fni'ner level. The genuine Investment or specu latlvo world was not n participant In the dealings nt nnv time, but there was some evidence of bolder and larger nperntln-ii of a irofe-islon.il character, which wee supposed to be due to the re-entry of sotro Of the Influential speculative lenders newiv returned from vnentl ins abroad. Tn'e board room professionals who have at tributed the prevailing dullness to politic i cause expected that the determination - f the Vermont electoral cont-st would levl to some activity The London stuck m-n -ket wns Impressed with tho 'n"ie view and American stocks were poshed in briskly on tho London exchange on Wedneday morning before the nponlm here Hut the local market oaeciiv oval'e.i Itself of tho London demand to unload some heavy blocks. Later In the dnv stock" were bought again In the hope tint the demand from London would be re newed on Thursdnv but 'hat hope wn" quickly dissipated Thurdav mornlnir mil London e'earlv showed lt ilsnppointme't at New York's failure to co-operate In th buying movement. Tho erratic tluctintlo:i--In Hrooklyn Transit were speclaliv at tributed to the undercurrents of muiilclo'l politics and other operations doallnT "I'll public utilities were llkewi e affected. u-. cnstlons are heard of an additional llrtll loan to be placed and th.e presence In Franco of the Russian minister of ilnun e arouses discussion of measures to into' Russian demand" for funds. Th Increased business In Iron ard siefti nnd the progress made toward ndjiutment of wages are rnnildered tnsorablr as far as thev go. but the defln te i-tatos of the Industry Is felt yet to be decided, und LI- lUIKi SL'ADAV, S15PTJ3MHMK , 1000. the future nrli es of steel rails n,i.i11v are looked for to help decide the future level of fallrund expenses, lllnh prte s of steel rails and coal are serious elements In th expenses of railroad opsratloiis. though railroad carnlng-i continue to be wen maintained.

LONDON, Sent. K Although the Stock exchange closed today, there wns less do ing In tho money market than umiuI oh Saturday. The udvnnces for the day wero easier and discounts wero llrm. The Joint stock banks were not disposed to work freely and wero disinclined to make con cessions. The upwardness Is expected to continue. In view of the Hank of Kngland's withdrawing money from the market. Tho Statist is of tho opinion thnt tho payment of the Installment of exchequer bonds next week will further restrict tho balance und that the settlement will also Increase the demand. "Consequently," the Statist adds, "wo may see the rate for short loans again near the bank rate and borrowings from tho Rank of F.nglnud may ngaiu bo neces sary. The surplus of reserves of the New York banks means that money In Now Y'ork will be much cheaper this autumn than last and Indicates that they nro not likely to call on London for gold. Tho Statist also thinks that the check to trade arising from tho approaching elec tion, points to the probability of a smaller dim.ind than In and that In the event of serious pressure London might hope to secure gold nnd s.ivs such a posslhllltv, not Immediate, may arise only In the event of the demand for gold upon London for F.gypt.

(Speclal.)-In tho Sully county circuit court this week tho question of roads across the old Fort Sully military reservation took up a large part of tho time of tho court. Tho contentions of the settlers In that part of tho stato were that the old-traveled roads across tho reser vation were legal roads from having been used as such for twotity-nno years. Further tho commissioners of Sully county bad de clared all section lines In that county to be legal roadn. This hi ought up a protest on tho part of the state, which has tltlo to practically the whole tract, and on tho pari of thoso who hold leases to largo parts of the tract. Such action would mean that they would be compelled to fenco each sec tion separately and nlbo to fenco along the old trails. The attempt to establish the fact of the use of tho old trails by tho evi dence of old-timers failed badly. As the different ones took tho stand they could not agree as to how loug any ono trail had been used, as It was an easy matter to strlko out a new trail nt any tlmo according to the whim of freighters, and tLls seems to have been done so often that their testimony imounted to little in the way of establish ing a caso on the contention. As to tho sec tion lino controversy tho matter Is yet pending, but will probably It settled wltbln a few days. OMAHA LIVE STOCK HARM Week Closes with Practically No Oattlo 01 Sheep on Sale.
