The wholesale trade of this city last week
' wan affected more or less by the fact that
most nf the nttrnctlve features or the AK
Har-Rcn cnrnlvnl come thin week nnd for
tnut reason merchants havo been postponing
their visit to Omaha so as to bo at tno
carnival nt the most Interesting time. In
Hplto of that fact, however, there were n
good tnHny merchants In the city last week
anil were nulto liberal buyers. Traveling
men havo also been sending in a gouu
batch of orders, so that, nil things con
sidered, Jobbers have done a very fnlr busi
ness since Inst report. Next week they nro
looking for the bluest run on record nnd
in order to wnlt upon the thousands of
buyors who will be on the market JobberH
uro cnlllng home their traveling men from
Nebraska, western town, , rth.maYicT

to afford tlvrm every "PJ,Vn,ty t0 buy
their supp Its while In the clt. ,,.
So far as market news Is concerned, thcro
Is very little of Merest to be said this
week, ns most lines are In about th "mo
nosltlon they were a week ago. The Hard
ware imirkct Is a little stronger, owing to
scarcity of certain lines, tut no Important
advances have taken place. Cotton goods
are also llrmlng tip a little. arocf r" "."of
changed very slightly and other classes of
goods curried by Omaha houses are hold
ing just about steady, from that it Is
seen that the m tuat on Is covered by call
ing the generul market steady to strong
and In a good, hcullhy condition,
(iroocry Trnde Active.
Wholesale grocers report trade as i being
iturorlslngly huavy. From nil sections
tributary o this market liberal orders aro
being iccclvcd and there seems to be every
High tnis season, uihh ,,,.':,;
itfl even that has evidently failed to shut
ort the demand to any appreciable extent.
.Retailers all report u brisk trade nnd con
Hcqucntly " hey are willing to carry nulto
hThey market is In very much the same
position it was u week ago. Tic coffee
market may be quoted nbout steady, but
fUlll It I noticed that old coffee Is llrmlng
up a trill? owing to the f.iot that stocks
nro pretty well cleaned up. New coffees, on
'The contrary, are no more than ste. . i a d
the feeling Is nonu too llrm. Ihe situation
'Vhe" sugar0 maXt Is practically steady
with tho quotations In force a week ago.
The demand ut the present .time In re
ported as being exceptionally henyy for
this season of tho year and In fact local
jobbers claim they arc huv ng con i dernb o
trouble In getting enough stock to till their
orders promptly. . . .
There aru no chnnges to report In the
quotations on canned goods, the market
may bo said to bo gooif and llrm and I oca
jobbers aro predicting a strong, heal thy
market for some time to come. Storks are
by no means heavy and the general belief.
Is that even at the high PClces now ruling
ihu demand will be sufficient to take all
thcro Is In sight. . , ,
All tho old stock that has been carried
over from yeur to year will naturally be
brought out, but even If that Is donp It is
thought there will bo no weakness In tho
market, at lenst not beforo January 1, and
In nil probability not then.
In farinaceous goods rolled oats nre just
nbout steady and in fact tho same may be
said of almost tho entire line, with tho ex
ception of beans, which nrn a trifle ycr.
There Is nothing new' to be said of dried
fruits, prices remaining unchanged. Such
lines ns syrups and Jellies are also selling
In tho samo notches they were a week ago.
Demand tSrentcr Than Supply.
Hardware men nre still experiencing ron
slderablo difficulty In getting tho various
lines that are affected by tho strike rap
Idly enough to fill their orders. T hoy are
oversold on many classes of goods and at
tho present writing they do not see much
prospect of any Immediate relief. 'Kven If
'the tlnplate nnd other mills closed down
by the strike should run from th s time
on to their fullest capacity It would take
them some time to catch up with their
back orders, and, as thoro Is good reason
for thinking that there Is going to bo a
good, lively demand throughout tho season,
there docs not appear to i much chunce
for prices to ease off to nny extent for
some llttlo time. The, tendency nt present
Is toward a higher level of prices and tho
market Is what might be called uneven, ns
thcro Is considerable variance in the prices
quoted In different cities. Prices here nre
at n low level as compared with other
points, which perhaps accounts for the
generous orders local houses hnvo been re
ceiving. Dealers aro buying quite freely, as
they rcallio that they must have the goods
to meet present requirements, una then,
too, they arc nfrnld If they do not tako
them now' they may not bo nblo to get
them later at any price.
Tho Unseed oil market Is also attracting
considerable attention, Prices In the east
wero marked up from So to 12c last week
and thcro wna nlso an advanco at this
point. A week ago quotations were 14c for
raw and Co for boiled, while at tho pres
ent time tho selling price is 5Cc for raw
and 68c for boiled. Stocks nre reported as
being very light ani In fnct local dealers
ennnot get enoug1'. tb Mil their orders.
Some of them havo withdrawn from tho
market entirely for tho time being Tho
market, is In n very unsettled condition and
what the future will bring1 forth no one
attempts to predict. The genernl opinion
seems to be. however, that the low prices
that havo been In force of late nre not
Justified by actual conditions but what
courso prices will tako cannot now be told.
The National Jobbers' association, which
held a convention In Detroit n week ugo,
did not, ns was expected, advance tho
price of window glass. Tho old prices are
still In force, but the mnrket Is good and
firm and In n healthy condition, so that
glass may bo considered good property.
Print Cloth rirm.
Dry goods Jobbers did not havo quite ns
many visitors last week ns they had tho
weok before, owing probably to tho fact
that retailers nro counting on coming to
the. city this weok. There was neverthe
less a very fnlr trndo and Jobbers busied
themselves getting ready for tho rush of
business exported this week, Traveling
men are all headed toward Omaha and
will ho here this weok to meet tholr
friends nnd customers.
Tho cotton goods mnrket Is still in a
very strong position and particularly Is
that true of print cloths, which aro being
hold good nnd llrm ut 27o, Thoso who aro
best posted on the situation say that It
would causo no surprise If u still farther
advance should tnko placo In tho near
future. The demnnd from all sections of
the country continues very heavy and tho
samo may be said of tho foreign trade, so
that the 'prospects for a strong, healthy
market for some tlmo to come look very
favorable,
Cood Trnde In Leather (inod.
Tho leather goods trnde continues very
satisfactory. A good many buyers arrived
on tho market last week and moro nro ex
pected this week. They aro buying qnlto
freely and tho genet nl tiltuatlon Is very
satisfactory to local Joblrera.
Rubber goods men also report a good,
brisk trade, as the recent rains hnvo
stirred things up in the country, nnd orders
for both footwear and mackintoshes and
nil forms of rubber clothing hnvo been
coming In quite freely. There nro not
many merchants who havo not bought
their winter stocks, but those who have
not aro now doing so, as they nro feeling
much better over the outlook for future
business than they wero n short tlmo ago.
Fruit n ml Produce,
Thero was a very fair trade last woek In
fruits nnd vegetables, A few lines nro
now offered on the mnrket moro freely
than they have been before, such us Rocky
Ford melons, cggplnnts and sweet nota
toes. Tho prices at which they are selling
will be found In the quotations In another
column. Thero Is not much change In tho
prices quoted on the general run of veue
tables, ns tho supply and uemand has been
nbout even.
Thcro Is qulto a variety of fruit on the
market, but peaches and grapes seem to
be the most popular, Cranberries are now
being offered nt J7 per barrel or $:.M per
crate. A decline In both orunges nnd lemons
is noted.
The egg market Is good and firm, tho
ultne price now bclilK 13ilHc. Poultry la
nlso fully ns high as It was a week ugo.
The receipts of both eggs and poultry havo
not been heavy unci the demand has also
been somewhat limited.
The situation In butter Is rather un
usual. Prices on creamery are lower than
they wero two weeks ngo. Those who are
postod on the movements of the butter
maeu wl" reft(5Hy recognize the fact that
ir.-i-.i ?.1 lms ,,me 18 almost unpre
cedented. Uecelpts, however, held up this
y.ar .V.c,,.cr th!,n wn anticipated, par
i,'f.u.1.?.rly Lvlew ' ho dry condition of
Rf'tures. There seems to be a llttlo fall
!C, In receipts now nnd dealers say
mat tho market may bo firmer from this
time on,
'rf'8 I the open season for ducks and
? ?L nut. there Is practically no market
or them In Omahn. The new game law
nos put a stop to tho handling of game In
rKe quantities, so that, while there will
I?a l!u,n handled here, thero will not be
enough to make a market.
SPECULATIVE" MARKETS DULL
All drains sIhmt Snine Tendency, tint
Most Pronounced In
Wheat.
Speculative dullness of tne most pro
nounced type ha characterized nil grain
markets throughout the week, and has been
more than pronounced In wheat. Thero has
been a steadily declining tendency until tho
neighborhood of 70c was reached, when
there appeared to bo a more friendly feel
ing toward tho buying side, numerous buy
ing orders being In evidence, The general
situation has no new fentures In it. Proba
bly the gi latest beur argument has been
the absnnco of trnde, which has been some
what Intensified by the bear sentiment pre.
niilnB; nm.' tt.1 ,ne 8amu time there Is a
lack of enthusiasm about the short side In
the neighborhood of these prices, the trnde
appearing to believe that, nil things consld
ered, wheat should bo worth present figures
on its merits, Irrespective of the largo crop
'."..r0'001.-. Tner' may bo an clement of
Vim. t"18! "nd probably It will be

are unquestionably in the majority. Cash
aemnnd has shown somo Improvement, but
It Is not inatked. Movement In the south
west has btMi light, but northwestern re
ceipts huve been double a year ago. Tho
improved situation promises less drain for
reed ng purposes on wheat and unless spec
"'"tlon increases more liberally it will be
difficult to advance prices, with tho pres
suie of hedging sales against movement of
t'",S!1. w,'eat constantly increasing.
this may ull be altered, however, should
our rorclgn friends evince a deBlre for
American whent on a large scale on further
lireaks, thus going far to contlrm what Is
at ptesent largely theory, namely, that for
eign requirements aro so much In excess of
rormer years that our surplus supplies will
be well taken care of.
.iT,10u'!l.tulUlon ,s altogether clear, nnd al
though It may appear that wo are dealing
in vain repetitions" when wo call It a
scalping market, yet thut Is about tho
best that can be said of It at the present

writing, we do see opportunities for scalp

LARGE DECREASE IN CASH RESERVES
Xctk nt .HcKlnlry's Itelnpse Cnuses
Slnnip In Market Liquidation
Heny, Irgent nnd Persistent
Trcnsury Offers Aid.
NEW YORK, Sept, ll.-1'nllowing th?
precedent set at tho time of tho dtuths of
Presidents Lincoln and Oarllcld, tho Stock
exchange adjourned Immediately upon as
sembling today, out of respect to tho
memory of President McKlnley. As a con
sequence, tho money market and tho ex
changes wero both merely nominal nnd
threw no light on how tho president's deaih
would affect the markets. Tho only Inci
dent worthy of attention was the weekly
bank statement. Tho decreaso In cash te
serves of 13.S70.100 was rather larger than
expected, even with tho payments yester
day for government bond redemption not
included. Uut on the other hand, tho stock
market liquidation during the week has
contracted loans of some m,i'V,"W, thus
materially reducing the legul reserve re
nuiremcnt to tho hencllt of tho surplus,
which Is only lightly encroached upon.
Marked success had been achieved In tho
task set for organized capital of recuperat
ing the stock market for the heavy blow
of lust Saturday, when It had to face tho
effect of the attempted nssnsslnatlon of
President McKlnley. Seemingly not sufll
dent account was tuken of the quick im
provement und supposed approach to re
covcry of tho distinguished patient, for
yesterday when the alarming news was
received of his relapse to near death's door
the stock market slumped and within
fifteen minutes of trading ufter the opening
tho laborious results Htlileved by a weeks
careful nursing of stocks were wiped out.
Prices yesterday evening were generally
lower than on last Saturday. During tho
week they hud been at one time protf.y
fully restored to tho level prevailing be
fore the uttack upon tho president. Tho
first measures concerted for the protection
of the market wero by tho clearing house
committee. Acting as tho representatives
of all tho clearing house banks nnd of the
foremost llnn.iciers and capitalists of llu
country, they were able to secure tho co
operation of all those great forces for ono
n..... .i,h nit- mum'' inuraei against annuo
Ml rln .erini. Alt. it. .

Skillful operators In stocks wero on tho
floor of the exchange to protect values,
thereby keeping up bids for stocks, taking
offerings ut moderate declines and so pro
venting tho reckless socrlflcu of holdings
and the w ping out of collateral margins
ror loans. 'Iheso objects were not achieved
without u lavish outlay of resources, us tho
liquidation was henvy nnd urgent and per
sistent, but success was manifest beforo
trading had proceeded long on Monday.
Ilut the financial wisdom which presided
over the movement viewed with u Jealous
eye tho heavy Inroads making upon money
resources by tho withdrawals from tho cir
culation of tho surplus revenues of tho
government nt n tlmu when the need wus
bo urgent.
The nittAnl i.1,l..t .,.. t .
secretary of the treasury met with a quirk
.., iiimoumi ior lenders or lionds
ror redemption to tho amount of ?20,000,000
nnd tho diversion of 5.0w).oiM of Internal
revenue collections Into national bank de
positories. This afforded considerable re
fc.finnd "ft01. 1'tftln'ly the bad news from
Huffnlo. Luring tho middle of the week
thero was so much success shown In tho ef
forts to protect and recuperate tho market
that somo disposition developed to set on
foot an active speculation for a rise, llcav"
realizing was accomplished undercover n't
this movement by those who had bought
heavily to sustain the market on SaturiTay
and early this week. This not only re
lieved the situation by 'strengthenlne- thn
resources of this element In the market
but nlso checked the Injudicious specula ion
'JLl rl8P- The "cute effect prodiccd upon
stocks and the heavy selling of stocks
yesterday was ample warning that money

CATTLE There were only n few cattle
offered today and not enougn to make a
ti'Ht of tin- murk,, I Knr IhH week tile sun-
ply has been fairly liberal, as compared
wltn tne last several weeks, out as com
pared with the same week of last year there
Is a big decrease. The demand has been
good all tho week for practically all kinds
and ns a result prices huve ruled good and
strong.
Corn-fed steers have not been In heavy
supply and as packers all seemed to want n
few the market has been good and Arm nil
the week. As compared with tho close of
last week there Is not mucn change notice
able In tho prices paid nud the situation
Is perhaps best described by calling the
market active and strong for the week.
The cow trade has nlso been in very satis,
factory condition. The first of tho week tho
receipts were quite liberal, but since that
tlmo tne receipts nave ueen ugnter nnd
prices have Improved on anything at nil
desirable 15if25c. As the demand seemed
to be heavier than tho supply It did nut
take long to clean up each day's receipts.
Hulls, calves and stngs have commanded
steady to stronger prices nil tho week
whero tho quality was satisfactory.
Thcro has been a better feeder trade this
week than for somo time past. Fleshy
feeders weighing -from 1.000 nounds uo are
In the best demand and ure fully 23c higher
than tney were 11 week ngo. unoice year
lings aro ulso considerably higher, but they
have not Improved quite ns much as tho
heavy feederh. Cattle, however, weighing
from 8O0 to 9 pounds arc rather neglected
and arc not much If nny higher than they
were a weok ago, while common stuff of all
weights Is a drug on tho market and al
most Impossible to dispose of at any price.
There havo been a good many western
range steers In the yards this week that
were good enough for killers. Tho demnnd
hns been strong ull the week nnd tho mar
ket In some places looked a llttlo higher.
Henvy receipts at other points, however,
prevented nny marked advance here. Cows
can bo quoted 15i25c higher and so also
cun feeders of good qunllty.

HOOS There wns n light run of Iioks
hero today for even a Saturday nnd ns the
demand on tho pnrt of local pnekers was
In cood Shane and fnvornblo renorts worn
received from other points tho mnrket ruled
active nnd fully 5c higher than yesterday's
average. ine nrst snies wero not quite
that good, ns n few sold ut $0.47V4 and Jti.50.
but the market soon firmed up nnd the hulk
of nit tho sales went from Jti.l'H to $6.55. It
was a good active market from start to
finish and kent getting stronger mh thn
morning ndvanced, everything being sold In
good season, As high as $6.5a was paid for
a prime bunch.
Tho supply or nogs nt tnis point has been
lluht this week, but still a gain Is noted
over the previous week. It should be re
membered, however, that the receipts last
week wero the lightest of any v. rck so fnr
this year. As compared with lu corre
sponding period of last year - u-ie Is a
marked decrease, as the table of receipts
above will show. Prices have advanced
quite shurply during the week, tho market
now being over 25c higher than at the eloso
of last week. Today Is tho high day of tho
year to date and in fact the high day since
Juno 5, 1893, when the average cost was
Jti.09.

SHEEP There has been a considerably
better tone to the trado on sheep nnd Inmbs
this week thun hns been noted of lnt.
Receipts were a trifle lighter thnn thov
wero last week and thero Is n big decrease
as compared with tho same week last year.
The demand on the part of packers has
been more liberal nnd us a result the mnr
ket has advanced all around on both sheep
nnd lambs llxfil5c. The ndvnnco of courso
only uffects the better grodes, as common
stuff, which Is neither feeders or killers, Is
neglected. Packers, however, wanted the
deslrablo grades and the market had moro
life thnn for some tlmu past.
Tho feeder trade has also picked up n

from him ho learned tho truth. Ilut ho
cautioned his friend to silence and himself
