CliniiK,-, lUcept In ulc tnc of Groceries, Which Aro llluhcr IIurtHvnru Also I mettled. Trade with Omaha Jobber last week w.ib or very satisfactory proportions. A gnat many buyer arrived on the market truin nil over the country tributary to this murkot nnd proved to bo very liberal pa trons. Heavy buyers from the far west, In particular, were noticeable and they se m d to place larger orders as u rula than tbuao from nearby. According to u.l report, conditions In tho far wtst arc exceptionally favorable thin year and everyone Is count ing' on doliiK a big business In that tectlon of tho country this fall and winter. Ne braska merchants, however, are also l.i food shape and there Is no doubt but what irom now on Jobbers will about have their hands full In attending to the wains of their customers. Dry goods Jobbers ami wholesale milliners In particular will huo ii host of visitors and It Is thought thai hundreds of merchants who in tho p..s have gone to Chlcagj and oilur in Unn markets will come hire th.a fall, became of the growing popularity of this niiirKe.. aurchants who have gone oast and hav stopped off here on tho way thero huu in a great many cases come bark to umaho. and placed their orders, saying that they could do as well or better lti this city in in any other market In tho country. T.iKing everything Into consideration, thero l. cei talnly a good oiltiooit for a successful lull tradu for tho wholcsu ets ol Omaha a .d more than that, there Is every reason mr thinking that retahers throughout the ci.un try tributary to this market wlil u.so e.iji y a nice business. The same as was noted one or two weeks ago, the markets aru holding Just atom steady, with tho exception of gnctrl-s and hardware. Urocerles are ml. I advancing, owing to tho drouth, which curtailed ths pack of fruits and vegetables, ami tin- hard ware market U unsettled because or tho strike, which has shut r.ft the production of many staple lines of goods. Just wlir-ie prices will llnally land is, of course, purely problematical und no one seems to be in clined to mako predictions on ilmt sube t A very noticeable feature of tho busln. ss situation at tho present tlmo Is the excu lent condition of collections In nearly all lines, furniture men say that the last of July nnd the first of August their collec Ions came In in better shape than ever li foro at that tlmo of year. Jobbers In other Uiips mako Just about tho same reports, so that tho natural conclusion Is that ictal.ers havo been having a very satisfactory trade and are not at nil h:ird pressed lor ready money with which to meet their bills. bluirii Advances In 1 rocorlcx. Tho prospects for a big demand for all staple lines of groceries and the fear that there Is to bu a marked shortage In a num ber of lines owing to tho dry weather are causing prices to go up at a rapid rate. Since last report nearly everything In thy wuy of canned goods lias advanced more or less. Small traits havo taken tho most radical Jump of all, as quotations niw range 'JWj'Ja centH per dozen higher than they were a week ago. Corn lias been marked up 50 10 cents per dozen and toma toes that a week ago wetc selling for about 05 cents per dozen are now held at 51. oj and VI. 111. In the saino way string beans have advanced 6Jjl0 cents per aozen. Thero KcSms to be more buyers than Hellers and It can safely be said that tho outlook lor tuture corn nnd tomatoes is very discourag ing. Unlavorablo weather from this tlmo on or an early trust will do n great deal to ward destroying what thero Is left of crops, 111 which case tho pack will bo extremely light and prices correspondingly light. At the present tlmo it Is estimated that even with good weather for the remainder of tho nenson tho pack will not exceed 23 per cent of what It was a year ago. Tho dried fruit market Is, of course, af fected in Just nbout tho samo way ns canned goods nnd prices aro advancing moro or less on nearly all lines. Tho out look for tho California peach and prune crop ts not nearly as eucuuraglng as It was thirty days ago and tho output will In all probability not come up to earlier esti mates by a wide margin. Thero will lie a big demand from tho east for California dried fruits this year, owing to the damage done In tho east to tho fruit crop, so that Indications aro very favorable for high prices throughout tho coining season. Farinaceous goods have shown little or no chaiiKo since last report, practically all lines being quoted Just about tho same. Tho coffee market Is also unchanged and tho samo may bo said of tea. The demand for sugar is considerably heavier than It was a week ago, but prices aro tho samo. WutcltliiK (he Strike- Situation. Hardwaro men are, of course, watching with a great deal of Interest tho progress of the strike against tho great steel com bination. As previously stated, unless a settlement Is reached In the near future thero will bo n shortage of goods such as has not been experienced In tho history of tho trade, Heforo tho strike was instituted mills wero unable to keep up with their orders and thero wns very littles stock on hand and now that tho production lias vory nearly stopped entirely tho surplus will not lost long and n shortage In many or tho staple lines is imminent. 1'rlcos for that reason aro very llrm all along tho lino nnd It Is certain that any change In the near futuro wMI bo in tho direction of higher quotations, A big demand for hardwaro is looked for in nil sections of tho country this fall, which will, of course, mako tho shortage all tho moro pronounced. Hut whether prices reach a much higher level or not of course depends upon how soon tho strike ts settled and for that reason hard ware men are watching tho . bituuton closely. Dry t.ooila Ilioi-rx Arriving. Thero wcro a good mnny nrrlvals re ported last week at tho different dry goods houses of this city. Nearly all sections of Nebraska wero represented nnd also a Kreat many buyers came In from the far west. Without exception they seemed to be In excellent spit Its nnd all predicted a good fall and winter trade. .More than that, they backed lip their predictions with good substantial orders, which would Indi cate that they have considerable confidence In their own Judgmrnt. Traveling men also sny that the feeling out In tho country Is good and thnt more merchants aro count ing on coming to Omaha this year to buy their supplies than thoy ever saw before. A great many are going to m.ilto their llrst trip to this market this season and if satis ileil will be permanent patron. V,ier" lH. "lhlng particularly new to bo said of tho market situation. All cotton goods aro still being held at good firm prices, as tho outlook for a bis cotton crop Is now by no means encouraging, while tho prospect for nn enormous consumption of cntton goods, both at homo and abroad. Is very flattering. That being tho caso It would seem as though prices would cer tainly go no lower, while they may seek a higher level, l.i-utlit-r CoiiiIm Selllnn Krecly.

FEAR THE GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT Corn StroiiK nnd Active from Belief of Itn Dniiinge lu West Onts lliilllsli with Other Grains. CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-Fears of a bullish government crop report, nn Improved ex port demand, higher cables nnd small re ceipts caused an upturn In wheat today and September closed 4c higher at 71,871ic. The same conditions prevailed In corn and September gained '.Jc Oats followed corn nnd closed Ufy-Sc higher. Provisions ruled stendy In sympathy with grains and closed with an ndvancc of 7Hyi!V4c. Wheat opened strong und He higher at 71B'71',ic for September. Higher cables und small receipts wero the strengthening In fluence. Trading was rather slow, how ever, during the first hour und the price sagged to 71c. At that point the enormous export demand created a buying move ment for the long account, A report thnt the government crop report would show a decided decrease in tho acreage of spring wheat sent tho shorts to cover and Sep tember advanced quickly to 71WI71c. Protlt-taklng caused a setbuck of 4c. The decline wns checked by good outside buy ing and the market soon took another up turn and ngaln touched 7Uilf71c. There wns llttlo trading during tho Intter part of tho session and prices sagged off to 71aW 71Hc, where It closed. Receipts at Chicago wore 20S cars, 167 of whldh were new, Minneapolis and Duluth received 2u9 cars, against 2M the corre sponding day a year ago.

Clearances of wheat and flour nt Atlantic ports were equal to 1,324,(0) bushels, The week's exports from all ports weto estimated at ll.OOO.OuO bushels. Corn was strong and active. A general belief among traders of tho serious condi tion of the crop was the chief considera tion. A report that the crop In Illinois would show u condition of but 25 points for tho southern district lent color to tho ex pectation. Cables were higher. Local ic celpts, 105 cars, against ICS last year. Sep tember opened VVU-bc up at 5)if(o!)V(ic, then advanced to O-S'.-ic and closed at 5&Hc Outs shared tho bullish feeling which de veloped In other grulns. There was a good commission house trade. Local receipts were 392 cars, against 437 a year ngo. Sep tember opened unchanged to '-c up at 33U y35N.o, touched 35xc, rose to 36c and closed ut 35ft c.

Loudon Prices Cause Rnlsc In' Rail road Stocks. NEW YORK. Aug. lO.-Hlgher prices from London wero reflected In a fairly good tone for railroad stocks nt the opening, but smnll gains wero soon wiped out and prices dipped well below yesterday's close for Im portant stocks on a renewal of professional selling. Tho Interest centered In the monthly government crop report nnd the prospect of some Important developments In the stock situation next week caused a large diminution In the volume of busi ness. Tho paucity of tho demand helped to Increase the downwnrd tendency, which wus most marked In tho grangers, Paclllcs, coalers nnd southwesterns. .Missouri Pa cific nnd kindred stocks wero Influenced by denlHls of recent rrports of tho Impending absorption of Mexlcnn railroads. As on tho two days preceding Missouri Pacific spurted up sharply at the close, the final figure to day bringing It to yesterday's level. Hut llttlo of interest nttonded tho fluctuations In the Unled States Steel stocks today, their movement being only fractional, but hull eating more support for tho common than for tho preferred, the latter ending , lower. Iho bank statement, while less favorable than anticipated, was without any decided effect on tho market. The Increase In loans of $i,9IS,70i) wns not readily explained, and It decreased surplus holdings $l,:l2.4im. The closing wus Irregular and almost llfclers. United States bonds were ull unchanged on tho call prices for the week. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: Tho stock mar ket was almost empty todny and Idle to n degree. Domestic shares were neglected and American stocks merely held their opening prices. Thero was a slight Inquiry for Atchison, both common nnd preferred.

Good to cholco beef steers suffered along with the others, but since Wednesday tho tendency has been upward, and any thing cholco Is now ns high as It was at the close of last week and In some cases higher. The medium nnd common MndJ. such ns will come In competition with the westerns, are, If anything, u little lower. Quite a good mnny western rangers arrived this week that wcro good enough for killers, and packers seemed to bo anxious for them and paid very satisfactory prices. Anyth.ng choice would probably sell from $4.5) to $4.73, but they would havo to be fat. Tho better grades of cows and heifers have not shown much chango this week nnd mny bo quoted nbout steady. The medium grades, however, aro 10ftl6o lower, while dinners havo held Just nbout steady. The quality of tho offerings this week ns a whole hnt not been very good, which mado tho sales on paper look rather low. Uulls, calves and stags are ull Just about steady with last week. There has been a decided Improvement this week In tho demand for cholco yenning stock cattle. As tho supply was limited prices advanced 105120c. The heavyweight feeders, however, aro not selling nt nil well owing to the fact that no one In the country seems to want them. Thero havo been very few of that kind of cattle hero this week, and If many arrived It Is thought they would sell lower. HOGS There was Just a fair run of h gs hero today, and tho market opened fairly active and strong on tho better gnuKs. The general run of mixed hogs sold largely at $5,75, with tho heavier and bettor grades going at $5.77H. Tho choice heavyweights sold from $5.i0 to $5.S0. Light mixed hogs brought from $5.70 to $5.72V4, and from that down. Packers seemed to havo nulto lib eral orders and as a result tho bulk of tho offerings wero out of first hands In good season. Tho bulk of nil tho sales could hi quoted nt $5.70i5.77H. as against $j,70tff5.7 yesterday. Thero was not much chnuge In tho market from start to finish, th uh tho close was, perhaps, not quite as active owing to the fnct that It was largely tho lightweights that wcru left. Tho receipts for the week have been quite liberal, a gain being noted both over last week and over tho corresponding week of last year. Tho demand, however, from local packers has been In good shape, but still tho tendoncy of prices has been downward. Monday was tho high day of tho we k, when tho nverago cost was $5.84. "Wednes day was the low day, when the a vera go cost wont as low as $3.65.
