NEW VOIIK. Sept. 29. (.Special.) In hla
wnnklv review of Wall street Henry CIcwh.
head of tho banking Arm of Henry Clewa A
Co.. says;
The stock market seems to bo under tho
lull uenre of a variety of conllli ting condi
tions. The prosperity of the railroads , 111
continues and shows no signs of bate

would have afforded the market ample sun

operators, who uh ii matter of necesit
hive been obliged to prevent any nrgau
Ized bear campaign. Hut monetary a nil crop
conditions have forced n gradual Ibiul-J.i-tlon,
which has now been In progress for
several months. Wall street general y an
ticipates consequences and will soon be oc

outconui will certulnly havo to be taken
Into consideration. .
While the boom was 111 progress tho In

and the public; fortunately took limited li
ferent 111 their gyrations. When prosperity
was nt Its height their destiny was left to
tho future, and tho day of reckoning which
every one expected ceased to havo any
terrors; tho penalties or excessive capitali
zation, the problems of management and
other perils Incidental to an Industrial
revolution Involving billions of capital
were almost forgotten. Fnmlllnrlty with
slnnger dulled npprehenslons. and tho rlskM
lrto these unwieldy combinations from new
'competition wero easily overlooked, t i;t
the verv prosperity which facilitated their
"birth also created a set of new, vigorous,

nnnual reports from several of tho prom
inent combinations, tho results of which
are nnythlng but encouraging to stock
nolders. Humors affecting the manage
ment of somo of theso concerns havo added
to tho disturbance of coulldenco and
prompted beailsh attacks. The decline In

reasonably capitalized, honestly managed.

In ascertaining tho essential facts ns to

one of the objectionable, features In their

more hostile to them than to tho railroads

CATTLE There were only n few cnttln
In the yards today and those wero not of
the kinu to make a fair test of the market.
The supply tor the week has been of quite
liheritl iironnrtlons. n uood gain having
ueen mndo over the lust several weeks, 1
but there Is still n decrease ns cotnpnrcd
with the corresponding ween. 01 inm year.
Cornred steers were in good demand nil
tho week and strong prices were paid lor
anything ut nil desirable. As there wero
hardly enough or them offered to go the
rounds, everything was picked up In good
season. The best cattle nf the season nr
rived hers this week and sold ns high as
$6 25. About 217 head sold at that price
011 Friday, COO of them belonging to one
man. The less deslrnble grades, while not
quit ns active, sold at fully steady prl"es,
so that the general market was In very
satisfactory condition.
The supply or cow stuff was quite liberal
nil the week. Prices, however, held up
until the last of thn week, when the
medium kinds weakened n trifle. Some
salesmen thought thnt prices declined no
moro on Frldny than they advanced on
Mondny nnd Tuesday, while others thought
they went n shndo lower, particularly tho
medium kinds nnd tho canners. Strictly
choice cows nre probably Just about stenJy.
There has not been enough chnnge In
bjlls, calves and stngs during the week
to be worthy of mention.
Practically nothing but the henvy cattle
are In demand for feeders. Cattle weigh
lng from 900 pounds up or good quality have
been ready sellers all the week and prices
are fully atendy. Cattle weighing from 600
to 850 pounds have been very dull nnd
prices have declined fully 25c. Those of
common quality nro practically unsalable,
iluycrs seem to figure that they cannot
nfford to teed high priced corn to common
cattle. Common yearlings nre also dull
and lower. Stock hetfers have declined
fully ns much as the steers. There Is a
good demand for stock calves, however,
and prices for the week nre steady.
Western range steers have been In good
demand on the pnrt of kilters and tho
market mny bo quoted strong. The high
prlco of the week was $5.25. ''"ho cow mir
get Is close to steady, except on .tho
medium kinds, which nro perhaps a trllle
lowtr. Good, heavy feeders nre steady,
nut others nro nbout a quarter lower. Rep
resentative sales:

HOGS There was not a henvy run of
hogs here today for even n Saturday and
ns a result prices Improved under tne In
lluenco of a liberal demand. Thn market
3tarted out Just nbout 2Vsc higher than yes
terday, with the bulk soiling at $6 SO nnd
J6.S.2H. against $6.771t and $6.80 yesterday.
At those prices the market was fairly ac
tlvo pud as It was evident that packers
were nnxlous for supplies sellers held their
drovcn at Ilrm prices nnd the market closed
up strong at the advance. Everything wns
disposed of In good season.
The suoiily of hogs for the week at this
point has been slightly In nxcess of thnt lor
the past several weeks, hut n llttlo short of
the same week last yenr. Tho week opened
up with an advance, but on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday the market de
clined close to 15c. On Friday and Saturday
part ot tho loss was regained, but the week
closed with prices 2Hftsc lower than at the
close of tho previous week. Representative
sales:

SHEEP There wero a few fat lnmbs of
fered this morning and also somo feeders.
The lambs sold ns high as $4.40, which Is
the hlghtst price paid on this market In
several days, and the market may be quoted
strong. The feeders were ulso ln good de
mand at strong prices.
For the week the supply of sheep has
been quite liberal. A good gain Is noted
both over the last Severn! weks nnd also
over tho corresponding week of last year.
The demand on tho part of packers has
been fairly good, particularly toward the
close of tno week. Prices are now about
Hlfl6c higher ull around than they wero
at the close of Inst week and the tono to
the market Is greatly Improved. The last
few days the trade has ruled active and
pnekers seemed anxious for supplies. That
applies to both sheep and lambs,
'Ihe demand ror feeders wan fully equal
to the supply all the week and tho murket
may be quoted strong on both sheep and
lambs,

There wns no special attraction Inst ueck
to draw imr.imnts to this city such ns
was the case the week before, but never
theless there m-re a good many buyers on
the mnrkct and !.r;il Jobbers did a vi ,'
nice business. Then were In fact a great
many more retailers In town than they
anticipated, us they Imagined Hint prnc
tlcally nil who were counting 011 coming
here nt about tlilA linn, iume In during
the Ak-Sar-Heii festivities It seems, how
ever, that a great inan walled until after
the carnival was over In onl-r to avoid tho
rush. It Is very evident trom the talk nnd
notions of Jobbers In prnetlralH all lines
that they nre more pleased with the way
full business Is going and nre eo oontl
dent regarding the future.
The genet nl market Is also In a must sat-Isfnt-tnrv
eondltlnn. Prices are not tluiiu-
atln to any extent so as tn make buyers
cautious. Mit on the contrnrv values seem
nn a goon sonn lounuiniiui. vim evi i
prosptct nt their remaining that way for
some little time to come. Thnt fict glcs
bu.xers an opportunity to nntli'lpnte th.-lr
wants to a consiuerniue extent nnu manes
tho totnl volume of business much larger
than It would otherwise be.

been u few tips and downs, but nothing
very startling lias taken place

Is nbout closed. The iidviince for the wek
niniunts to n full i cent per pound and
the market Is now strong nnd active and
higher prices ut nny time would cause no
surprise. . . ... ,
The rniie market also ndvnticed last week
bccnuM- of the higher prices ruling on this
rnw llbrc. Sisal advanced 1 cent per pound
nnd Manlln about ',4 cent per pound.
In canned goods there Is also n tendency
toward higher prices. , This Is particular y
true of tomatoes, which are 2Hlf- cents per
dozen higher than they were 11 week ago.
The frosts which wero experienced from
September 18 to 20 did considerable dnmaga
nnd, of course, the dry weather, which
lnsted sewrnl weeks In the producing sec
tions of Maryland and Delaware, nlso cut
down the yield. The pack for those reasons
Is rather short t'orn and practically the
entire line of ennned goods Is In n very
strong posit Inn and those who are posted
nn the situation nre predicting higher
prices as soon as the period of heavy con
sumption sets In.
Dried fruits, fnrlnnceous goods and most
other stnple lines not mentioned above, sm
qjoted Just nbout the same as they were a
week ago.

Fall poods with hardware Jobbers ore
now moving out nt a rnpld rate. All such
lines ns stoves, stove boards, coal scuttles,
elbows, stovepipe, nnd 111 fact all kinds of
lines that come under the head of cold
weather goods are In active demand.
Traveling men find that merchants havs
nut nnv great nmnunt of that stork on
hand and ns a result they find It comp.1r.1
tlxely ensv to land good liberal orders. In
making comparisons with this times Inst
year It Is found thnt business Is consider,
nblv hrnvler than It was then, which Ii
snvlug a good deal.
There Is very little to be snld regarding
the condition of the market, as there has
been iiracllcnlly 110 change In the general
situation slncii fust report. There have been
no advances of much Importance and
neither have there been nny declines, sc
the mnrkct may be said to be In a good,
health) condition. Those who ought tft
know ore very confident that prices will bu
marillnlneil nt their present level for snnni
time to cmne. unless something nut of lhi
ordlnnry happens In change conditions ma
terially. 7etliiK Itondy for .Sprlm;.
Although fall business with dry goodu
Jobbers Is still In full swing, they nre never
theifss getting lendy for spring business.
They hr.ve already started out sevfral of
their special men with spring lines nnd ex
pect to land a nice bunch of advance orders,
Men's shltts and women's shirtwaists. Ir,
particular, .ire being offered to the trndi
at the present time. It will not b long
now before all the traveling men will bs
nut with spring goods.
Immediate buslne-H Is still In n most
sntlf factory rnndlllrui. The city wns full
of buvers Inst week and a great mnnv
heavy ordeis were placed. A number of
large opi nlng stocks were nlso bought. Th s
lias been the most satisfactory, as well ns
thn largest, fall trade that wholesalers
have ever experienced end very nnturnlly
they nre greatly pleased
There Is no market news this week worthy
of mention, ns prices on nearly all ilii'S
are just about the same as Miev were at
last report. Cotton goods continue good
nnd firm and so far as can be told, nt this,
present time, nre likely to remain that war
indefinitely.

Lenther goods Jobbers nre also preparing
for their spring trade. Their tnmplc have)
arrived and merchants will Ic given an
opportunity to place their ndvnnr ordcra
In the near future. In looking over tha,
lines offered. It Is seen nt once that fancy
lines will take nu Important place thla,'
coming season. Red so'es on both blacks
and tans are nn of the novelties thnt nro
being offered. Fancy stitches' In different
colors on the uppers nre also to be used,
to n considerable extent lllack shoes, anil
particularly the shiny shoes, will be th
most popular. It Is th U'ht, but still jobbers
nro looking for quite n demand for light
tuns nnd nlsn for oxblnods In shapes there,
there Is to be very llltl" change from tho
now being worn, ns the present styles nrs
meeting with such popular npprnv.il that
mnliufacttirers are afraid to mnkn a change.
As regards the demnnd for fall rind winter
lines, wholesalers say thev can find no
fnult. Merchants nre coming In nnd nrs
placing henvy orders and traveling men nrV
nlsn doing a big business Sales are run

Fruits nnd Produce.
Whllo there has been no sperlil featur
to the demand for fruits nnd 1 roduco dur
ing the last few days, then- has been a.
