CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Brow Salts Liit W.ek Eroko All Pierious Eecordi bj Bij Margin. MARKETS SHOW BUT LITTLE CHANGE Itepnrt ItrKiirilliiu Collet Crop In llrnxll Sliotv the l,nrK(M Yield Kver Recorded In History of the Trnctc. Last week was the banner week In the history of the wholesale trailo of this city. Jobbers say they never before experienced anything like the house trade that they had lust week, and although they were looking for a good many merchants, the number thut actually did arrive was far In excels of their expectations. All the traveling men from Nebruska and also u great many from tho surrounding states were In thf city to meet their customers nnd wait upon them, but Mill there was such a rush of buyers that uven with the assistance of the travel ing men It was dllllcult to give all the mer .chants prompt attention. Tho majority of retailers who visited tho market placed ex ceptionally liberal orders, which would In dicate that thoy arc contemplating anticipa ting a good fall nnd winter business. Those who wero Interviewed on the situation all wild that trade this summer had been very satisfactory, all things considered, and that tnoro was every veason for looking forward to a good demand In the future. People In Nebraska and neighboring states have ytonty of money nnd will be fully as liberal buyers as they wero a year ago. Confidence regarding future business was. In fuct, vis ible on all sides and as a result Jobbers are more encouraged thun ever. Tho general opinion among Jobbers Is that the festivities this year have been the most successful of nny yet held, ns morn of tho butter class of merchants came to the city and were well pleased with their entcrtnlnmcnt. which na turally means that thoy will come again. The market situation has not materially changed since last report. As n general thing prices are good and Arm and so far as can bo told thero Is no prospect of value reuchlng a lower level for sonic tlmo to come. Groceries Hold About Steady. The wholesale grocery houses wero flooded with visiting merchants nil last week, and while grocers as a rule do not buy many goods while in tho city, they did placn u good many orders during their stay last week. The exceptionally largo number of visiting merchants even for Ak-Sar-IJcti week was probably nccounted for to some extent by tho fact that grocers nnd general merchants held a two days' convention, which was woll attended. While there hao been very few market lluctuatlons sluco last report, there are, nevertheless, n number of features worthy of mention. The demund for sugar Is still exceptionally heavy for this neason of tho year and probably will continue so for the next ten days or two weeku, when tho pre serving season will bo over with, trull Jars were also In big demand l.'jst week and In fact the demand was far In excess of tho supply, ho that this murket is now entirely bare. , . , Thero Is but little change In canned goods with tho exception of corn and tomatoes, which are a llttlo (Inner, and particularly Is thut true of the latter. There wero fronts last w.'k of considerable extent, which practically put a stop to tho packing of to matous, und present indications arc that higher prices will rule at no very distant time. , . The cheeso market for some tlmo past has been considerably lower than usuul at this tlmo of year. That condition was brought ubout through lack of export do innnd. During tho Inst few days, howevo, several lots have been sold for cxpo.t, which has given a llrmcr tone to the mar ket nnd higher prices uro looked for in the next two weeks. The quality of tho stock now on tho market Is exceptionally good for this tlmo of yei.r. In farinaceous goods thorc Is no change, except in beuns. which are a trlllo tinner, owing to excessive rains In Wisconsin and Michigan, which nrn the two big bean producing states of the country. In dried fruits thero have beep no changes in quotations In this market worth men tioning. It Is reported, however, that tho bulk of tho California evaporated peaches have passed out of first hands and for that reason ns soon as tho fall demand sots In higher prices mny bo looked for, particu larly on tho cheaper and ff.ncy grades, the raisin growers' association aa yot has not announced prices on tho now crop. Old stock Is well elenned up nnd thrro and four crown goods aro practlcully out of tha market. . , Tho coffee situation Is attracting consider able attention because of tho unusual con ditions which exist. For somo tlmo past those posted on tho condition of tho crop in Urnzll predicted an enormous yield, but It In doubtful If anyone realized how far In oxcess of previous yenrs thu crop would go. Tho total receipts of Ilrnzll coffe? I rum July 1 to Bepiember 1C of tho present year wore 4.450.OUO bugs. The largest previous receipts for tho corresponding period wore In 1K ami amounted to 3.34S.000 bag. Iho receipts, It Is said, aro Increasing nt tv rapid rate, so that it is thought that tho surplus over all previous years will con tinue to Increase during thu next two months. To show how fust the crop Is be ing marketed. It might bo said that nt the present tlmo there aro 715,000 bugs on tho water. , , Tho total crop for the year 1D01-02 Is con servatively estimated at 13,000,000 bagj, whllo tho largest actual crop ion record Is 11.000,000 bags. Tho largest vlslblo supply of tho world previous to this venr was S.OHi.BBO bags, which was recorded In Oc tober, 1899. The visible supply, however, In Bcptcmbor, 1901, Is 8,054,101 bags, which breaks alt previous records. Jobbers nnd brokers, however, call atten tion to tho fact that although the crop this year Is enormous, still strictly hlgh-grado coffee will not be as low as would seem reasonable and will bo considerably nbovo tho quotations on tho general run of stcck. This Is owing to tho fact that a largo pro portion of the new crop Is what Is called "bllghty." thut Is, Inferior. There will, of course, ho plenty of good coft'eo on tha market, but buyers will have to pay a llttli moro for It than for tho general run of stock which la now being marketed. Tu view of the enormous crop, thosa posted cn the situation predict n dull unci weak mnr ket for somo little time to come. Huyers will naturally bo afraid to loud up far fonr that prices will take a drop, and for that reason trade Is apt to bo light until thero Is a falling off In receipts, Hinoo last re port thore Is a little llrmer feeling on tho markets abroad, but It Is thought that It Is purely speculative and will only bo of short duration. IlnrdYvnre llpniiilni I'lrni, Hnrdware Jobbers, the same ns whole Balers In other lines, experienced a very nice trade Inst week and made th? nc- qualntnnco of many of their friends and customers thnt they have been doing busi ness with for tho last several ynrs. Th visitors as a rulo placed very liberal orJo's. to the extent at least, that wholesalers broke all previous records for house cnls. The market Is In about Iho sama pnjltln ns it was a week ago. Prices aro firm all along the lino and although the strike iltun tlon has Improved nnd many of the Idle mills aro at work, still Jabbers do not look for any weakness In tho market. Most of the mills wero fur behind with their orders before the strlko came, rn that now thoy are so badly swamped with business that it will be some time beforo they will bo able to put out enough stock to weaken the murket. Cttj. flooded tvltli Mcrclinnta. The dry goods houses on Howard street seemed to be tho general meeting place for visiting merchants last week, Jobbes had prepared for n host of visitors, but ni they had never seen anything like as mnnv retailers lr. tho cltv at any one tlmo rs arrived last week, they wore In ti way un prepared, but Mill their customer.! weio waited upon In good shape. In speaking of tho tradj for the week, a representative of one of the houses said that they sold fullv 100 per cent more goods last week than they did during Ak-Sar-Hen week n yinr ago. They tried to close thtlr houses on Thursday afternoon, but thero wero so many buyers crowding Into tho stores that they had to keep open the same as usinl So far as market news Is concern' d, lhre l practically nothing now to be sill ni the general market Is nbout tho sumo lis it was a week ago. l-'rult iind Produce, There was a very good demand last wel; for fruits nnd vegetables, Tho great Influx of visitors Increased the local demand nnl then, too, the visiting merchants placed a good many liberal order.'. Tho markets have been rather devoid of Important mar ket lluctuatlons nnd the prices nt wh'ch tho different lines are selling will be found In the quotations given In nnother column. Oil mid Ito.ln.

(New York World Cablegram Special Telegram.) Tho condi tion of King Edward's throat Is causing him Increased unxloty and Inconvenience. The World hears from a rellnblo Windsor corre spondent that early Inst weok Sir Felix Semon, tho noted throat specialist, who was appointed physician extraordinary to tho king Immediately upon his nscenslon, was secretly summoned from Ixmdon to Copenhagen to make an examination of tho king's throat. This was tho reason of tho prolongation of tho king's sojourn at Fred ensborog and of tho canceling temporarily of his arrangements to visit Dnltnoral, where nil had been prepared for hit recep tion last Tucbday, Tho king now limits his consumption of cigars to three a day, a restriction which ho nt first strenuously reflated. Although his physicians atllrm that tho growth In the throat Is not ipallgnant, It obstinately re sists all attempts nt cure and grows stead ily worse. It has affected tho klng'a volco so seriously that ho must avoid nil public speaking. ODD FATALITIES TO BABES One Infant U Killed by HnU la nil Asylum nml Another iJlt-N of AnU' llltm.

An Increase In the supply this week Is noted over that of last week nnd tho last kov ernl weeks, but thero ts still quite n de crease, ns compared with tho corresponding week ot last year. In this connection, how ever, It should bo remembered that thero was no market on Thursdny of this week. Thero have not been very many cornfed cnttle offered this week whllo tho demand wns of quite liberal proportions. As a ro Blilt prices have advanced 15t(I5c. The top price of the week was J6.CJ. but strictly choice cattle would probably havo sold considerably higher than that. Tho com moner grades of corn cattle have not lm nrnved rmtln hh milch, but still ovell those nro a trlllo higher than they wero u week ngo. Thero have tiecn n good many cows nna heifers on sale nil the week, but tho de mand wiih sulllclcnt to take about every- thlne ofrerid nt steady tirlccs. Trado was active each day and at times the market looked a llttlo better, but there has not been enough change In tho prices paid to bo worthy of mention. Tho demand for ennners nas neen unusunuy goou. Hulls, calves and stags have nlso sold in nbout tho samo notches they did n week ugo. Tho demand for heavy feeders snowing quality has been fully equal to tho supply, und prices havo changed very little. Most of the country buyers want the henvy- weigiit cattle, and then, too, mere navo been n good many heavy cattlo bought hero to bo fed at tho different distilleries, so thnt sellers have had no illfllru.ty In dlsuoslni; of that clars of stuff at steady prices, tho lignt stncxorB and particular. y tno common stun, nowever, nave not moveu ns freely and aro barely steady for ths weeg. Tho bulk of the receipts all tho wok have been mndo up of western range cntt'e. Tho steers that wero good enough for kill ers havo nd-nnced lStfZSa nnd have been In nctlve denand. Cows sold rendlly nt stendy prices, and so. also, did the d'- slrable grades of feeders. Tho common stocKers. tnougli. were almost unralablo at any price. Itcpre.ientatlvo sales: NEBRASKA. No. Av.
