TENDENCY TOWARD FIRMNESS IN MARKtT

Good, Llticrnl Orders fur
flrnernl Merchandise,
Sentiment In this part of the country is
rapidly changing to one of great confidence
tn the future of business, During the time
Junt following the announcement of the
serious damage to the corn crop everyone
m very much discounted and predicting
that business would llattcn out completely.
Then there followed it week or two during
which the drift of opinion seemed to favor
a belief that there would bo some trade, but
that nothltiK like luat year need be looked
for. The third porlod has now been reached
and the belief seems to prevail among the
best Informed merchants of the city that
business will move right along us If nothing
had happened to the corn crop. They are
basing this belief on tho fact that late rains
made great Improvement In tho corn, so
that there will be after all a considerable
crop In most sections of the state. Then,
too, tho crop of small grain Is threshing out
so much better thnn was even expecteu. In
the IrrlgHted sections of the western states
large crops have been grown, while the
inlnlnir ItitttrestH urn verv nctive. in mlill.
tlon prices for nil kinds of farm produce
are mgn, so tnui tno inrmers will nuve
more money this ycur thnn usual, even If
thoru Is a shortage of corn. Llvo stock Is
bringing In splendid returns. Taken all In
all business men have come to the conclu
sion that Instead of being poor or only fair
ino prospects ior trauo tno coming year are
excellent, and while there may be u falling
off In some localities the loss will be made
up by (CaliiH from other sources.
Money continues very easy and collections
are generally good. Country banks arc full
of monev and It ilns tint Mrim nt nit rllffl.
cult to secure any amount that may bo re-
nuircu on tno proper security, it is also re
ported that louners nro generally glad to
renew good loans that full due. when so de
sired. With farm crops as high as they arc
at present there Is no doubt but what the
Ncbrnska and western Iowa farmers will
have HUlllclent cash to meet all obligations
and thot country collections will continue
soou rigm tnrougn tne seuson.
Bo far as the local lobblnit tradn Is run
cerncd It wan fulls' as irnoii Inst wnok un
could be expected for tuts season of the
year. A good many retail merchants from
the country were In tho city and the most
of them left liberal orders behind as ideas-
ant reminders of their visits. Traveling
salesmen also gave a good account of them
selves, so that business wn.s fairly brisk at
ii.v i " jouuing nausea 01 tno city.
Wholesale markets flhnw unmn flrmnni
In fact tho tendency of values, when" any
change at nil Is to bo noted. Is on the sldo
of higher prices In tho grocery lino ennned
nnd dried fruits continue very firm, owing
to the shortage In the supply of fruits und
vegetanlDH In mnst nil tho nrr1iir-lnr inani
ties. Canned tomatoes are especially llrm
and canners In the enat urn flenrlnu- that
western canners will bo rorccd to buy of
them before tho end of the season In order
to fill orders for goods already contracted.
On the Pacific coast tho canners us well as
the dried fruit men are figuring that tho
shortage In the east and mlddlo west will
give them a great opportunity to roap a
harvest and they nro accordingly getting
very high notions as to values. This Is es
peclully true In relation to prunes, which
are being strongly held, and the producers
havo a still further advantage In the short-
"l mo toreign crop. I'enchcs and apri
cots are still very firmly hold. Damage Is
reported to tho Oreek currnnt crop, so that

IluyliiR.
NEW YOIIK. Aug. 24. The customary
tendency to tako profits at tho close of u
week of rising prices was offset today by
the buying attracted by the highly favor
able character of the weekly reviews of
commercial conditions by the mercantile
,ltfpnpli- nnd hv tho settlement of tho
Kranco-Tutklsh trouble. The London mar.
ket was called for n holiday today, so tno
d,niuui tor American securities Induced by
,u" la(or development came directly upon
tho ;uW Yort market. There was somo
profU-tnklng before the nuuearancc pi tho
bank Xrote USIlals'lu.'e:

evidently tho hope la i cntcrtulncd i that Aton-
day morning wl br ng more outsiders Into
market, nttracted by yesterday's
Krcater activity and strength and Its per-
slstence today. The bank statement was
about us expected in the cush Item, except
lllt tho gU1,IIOsed special shipments to
j!hlndcphla were not disclosed. The mod-
crnto loaM CXpanBlon was attributed to tho
stirring by pools In the stock market which
lll3 developed Uurlng the week. The Jean-
ers today were Atchison. Erie, the Pacifies,
Amalgamated Copper. Sugar, about n the
order named. The strength wim well dls-
trlbutcd, but some of the recent strong
stocks hung buck somewhat and especially
the I'cnnMvTviuilii irrouii. tho Wnbashes. St
Paul and Southern railroads, tho United
Statis Steel stocks were uulot. but tho
preferred rose a point In the late dealings.
The railroad bond market has been nar

CATTLE Thero was a fair Increase In tho
nmilni. nf enifln nv.r week alio, tho III
creasu coming from tho range. The quality
shows little change from day to day.
Th. liirinlrv fnr ilrvlot cattle has kept
pace with the supply und values have held
llrm to strong tho entire week on good to
nrlmn aleers. Shnrtfpil LTllllpH that ClimO Ifl
competition with range beef show n de
cline of 10Cfl5o for tho week. Quito a num
ber of grasscrs aro arriving and beef stock
from the range ls selling at $4.00 to $4 50,
somo of the heavier graaes going Into tho
feori Inlu nt nhnut snme nrlces.
Medium weight cows and heifers sold off
15t2o0 this week, and nest cows nna nm
ers also show a moderate decline. The
rtnnlltv hna lieen noor. a larue number of
thin old cows nnd coarso stuff arriving.
Veul calves, canners, bulls, stngs and calves
show llttlo chango In valuo from day to
day.
There was a far better condition of af
fairs In the feeder division, prices gradu
ally Improving from day to day until tho
advancu toduy Is 16tf25c over last week on
good, smooth grades ot. feeding cattle of
all weights. A few heavy range feeders
sold up to $4.50, and choice grades nt $4.0i)
to $4.20, outside figures. Well bred stock
ers havo sold equally well the past, week
with supplies bslow tho demand. Repre
sentative sales:
HOGS The week closes with a moderato
run of hogs and the total for six days
falls several hundred head bolow last week.
The market has lluctuated considerably this
week, but yesterday and today prices wero
at the high point. Packers hnvo been slow
to allow any advance and have been more
particular In selecting their droves, calling
out boars, sowh and rough stock und also
bearing down on tnin lignt, grassy nogs.
Prime heavy und butcher weight lio?s
are scarce and prices havo held up well
throughout the weeK, tops toucning- w.10,
the highest prlco paid In some time.
Tho market today held steady, but trad
ing was rather slow. Uuyers wero more or
less Indifferent and thero was really an
undercurrent of weakness, especially on all
except best grades. Grassy stuff and
coarso grades sold moro or lets uneven
today, unu during tno past weeK, according
nn to whether the bupdIv was lance or
small. Tho bulk today was practically tho
samo as yesteruay, wun u top at l.w.
