Met Spring Trade,
.Trade with local jobbers moved along at
a very satisfactory rate Inst week. There
was, of course, not the rjsh that waa ex
perienced two or three weeks ago when
fall trade wan at Its height, but neverthe
less wholesale enjoyed u very nice pa
tronage. A aood many merchants were In
the city placlntf original orders and others
were on the market sorting up their stocks.
It Is a llttlo early as yet to expect much
In the way of sorting up orders, as the de
mand for fall goodo In the country Is now
just getting nicely started and It will take
some little tlmo to brenk stocks. Jobbers,
however, confideilly expect that a llttlo
later on there will be a big re-order bust
nesa. as retailers did not buy extrava
gantly to begin with. There seems to be
no doubt In the mind of anyone but what
retailers will have u nice trade In nil lines
of fall and winter goods mt'i as a result
they aro looking forward to a successful
season. So far this full Jobbers In prac
tically all lines havo fnr exceeded all pre
vious records In the amount of goods sold
and thero Bccms to bo no reason why they
should not contlnuo to do ho the remainder
of tho year.
A good many representatives of local
houses are now out with rumples of spring
linen nnrt they aro finding It compnrtwivoly
easy to Interest their customers. They my
that tho outlook for advance orders for
spring was never better this early In tho
year than It Is at tho present time.
The markets have not shown much
change during tho wctk, with the exception
of groceries. Hardware, dry goods, leather
nntl rubber goods, furniture. Implements
and practically lines handled liy Omaha
Jobbora aro quoted at good firm prices, but
without material changii. Values seem to
be on a good firm foundation, with tho de
mand fully equal and In many onset) In cx
ctsr. of tho sjpply, so that tho chances of a
lower lovel of prices nro rather remote.
Huicar Iteinnlti Steady.
Tho all absorbing topic with grocery Job
bers last weok was the sugar situation.
There wero many reports alloat of tho
sensational cut In tho prlco of sugnr at
various points, but local Jobbers fulled to
find that prices on this market had weak
ened in tho least. So far as this market Is
concerned sugar Is selling nt tho amo
prlco It was a week or ten days ago and It
is claimed that very llttlo stock has been
aold to the lower Missouri river points nt
the reduced prices and what hns been sold
has not effected tho general market. As re
gard!! future movements no one, of course,
is In a position to state.
The market on canned goods has alo at
tracted considerable attention. The entlro
lino may bo said to bo In a very strong
position, as stocks aro light and the pros
pects of an enormous demand favorable.
The markot on tomatoes, however, has
been given tho most nttentlon and In fact
It has been In a rather excited condition.
It Is learned that the packing season ter
minated with tho lightest pack In a num
ber of years and as tho old stock was
cleaned up before tho now goods camo on
tho markot thero Is no old stock to fall
back on. During tho week prices ad
vanced &37Hc per dozen and still higher
Crlcos nre expected. Those who ought to
now predict that after the turn of tho
year tho highest prices will rule on toma
toes that havo been experienced In a long
tlmo.
There Is nothing new to report In fnrlnn
ceous goods, as practically all lines nro
selling about whero thoy wero a week ago.
The same Is also truo of dried fruits.
The. cheese market was rather uneven
last week. Tho first fow days It took a drop
which stimulated buying to such nn ex
tent that tho loss was fully regained fce
foro the end of tho week nnd the market
may now bo said to bo In a stronger posi
tion than It was a week ago.
Other staplo lines hundled by local Job
bers are Just about ntendy.
The volume of business Is keeping up nt
a very satisfactory rato nnd In fact lob
bers say they have all they can do to keep
up with their orders.
Ito Chnnsre In' Ilnrdvrnre.
The hardware market Is holding Its own
In good shape. Stock Is coming on thn
markot a llttlo more freoly than It waa
during tho strike, but there Is demand for
all the goods that local Jobbers can get
their hands on. Tho samo seems to be truo
all over tho country and It may safply b.i
aid that the general market win never In
a moro healthy condition thun It Is at tho
present time. Oalvenlzed Iron Is quoted the
same as It was a week ago and so a'so
practically tho entlro line, so there Is no
special featuro to the market. All season
able goods aro now moving out nt a rapid
rato nnd fall business promises to bo tho
best on record, llnrb wire In particular Is
In big demand and In fact Jobbers sny they
never experienced such n heavy trndo be
fore. The manufacturers aro coming to tho
front In good shape and supplying tho stock
Sromptly, o that Jobbers can till their or
ers as rapidly as thoy come In. Thero
are few' lines now which aro very short
and thoso aro not causing any great amount
of trouble.
Nut Quite So Active.
This Is what might bo called a between
seasons period with dry goods men. Mer
chants as n rule havo bought their full
stocks and havo not had tlmo to sell out
and as a result thero nro not very mnny of
them coming on tho market. A few mer
chants, however, were In tho city last week
doing a llttlo sorting up. Traveling men a I
claim that mcrchnnts arc doing a rushing
business In tho country and that all that In
needed Is a Utile touch of cold weather to
make their stocks go to pieces. The way
things look now there will bo a lil? re
order business u llttlo later on nnd JobUcr.j
are making big prepnrntlons for It.
Traveling men aro meeting with good
success with their spring lines nnd. In fact,
are taking moro orders than they did a yoar
ago at this time. Until JobberH nnd ic
tallers seem to be very conlldent regarding
futuro business and as a result no com
plaints nre heard.
Thero has been no particular ohange In
the market situation, as prices aro llrm nil
along the line. Tho demand continues
heavy both at homo and abroad, eo manu
facturers are finding u market for all tin
goods they con turn out. Cotton goods In
f articular aro good nnd firm nnd promlte
o remain, that way for eomo tlmo to come.
Good Trade lu I. outlier (iooiln.
The demand for boots and shoes Is sur
prisingly heavy for this tlmo of year. Mer
chants are sorting up their' stocks and
placing qulto liberal orders. They all sty
that fall trade Is starting out lu n most
promising manner nnd they see nn r-a 01
why thero should not be a good, bil.k
trado throughout tho reason. '
Rubber goods aro also sclllnir freely, as
the frequent rains aro bringing both foot
wear and clothing into 'demnnd moro than
usual during the fall of tho year. Clothing
In particular has been selling freely and
jobbers say tho only thing that worrl.s
them Is to get tho goods fast enough to (111
their orders,
tfrults nnd Produce.
The most Important change Inst week In
the quotations on vegetables wns tho drop
In potatoes. A weok ago they wero selling
at from II to $l.:s and now they nre quoted
at from 80 cents to H.io. according to
Quality and variety. Tho break In prices Is
aid to have been brought about by tho
fact that receipts havo Increased of late.
Farmers who stored their crop In cellars
and cavea In tho hope thut prices would g
till higher are now cutting loose to avoid
the danger from cold weather. Another
bear featuro Is tho fact thnt In soma a c
Hons of the country where short era.
were reported It Is learned there Is a better
yield than expected. Very llttlo can bo
told about tho futuro of tho market Ut th.
present time, as reports regarding (In
quantity of marketablu potatoes are con
flicting. Other lines of vegetables havo not
changed 'materially since last report.
The fruit trade has been of very fair p-o.
portions during the last week, but pr c h
have held very nearly steady. App es are 11
trifle cheaper than thoy wero a week ago,
as the supply It Increasing and the qua Ity
has alio Improved. Tho prices at which tho
different lines of fruit aro selling will be
found In another column,
The supply of poultry was liberal hut
week, but tho demand was nlso quite heavy,
particularly toward tho close of the week.
Jjutter eased off a llttlo toward tho cl.-ss of
J.'?, wek. as prices wero evidently forced u
llttlo higher than conditions would warrant.

Ins Effect nt the OpenlnK on tho
Hoard of Trade, tint Mar
ket Soon Recovers,
CHICAGO, Oct. i:.-Scarclty of offering
and a fair outsido trade for wheat gave
an upward turn to tho market today and
December closed a shade higher. December
corn closed Ho down, December oats a
shado lower und provisions from 10c to 1714c
higher.
At tho outset the wheat pit felt the de
pressing Influence of disappointing cab'es.
Tho advance here yesterday had met with
no response and December opened from Uo
to !40?c lower at from 69c to 69HG63J40.
Offerings wero liberal at tho start, but tho
actual selling was only on a small sen'.o
and of 11 nature that Indicated a desire on
tho part of buyers to depress the market
with n view to buying lu again. Commis
sion houses begnn to buy nnd a report of
ft good demand for the southwest nnd New
York brought nn upshoot In prices until
December sold nt 704c. Iocnt trnders also
helped by considerable buying, but toward
tho end of tho short session profit-taking
eased tho market and December clofed
steady, a shade higher, at 70'u70V4c. Local
receipts were 150 earn none of contnet
grade. Minneapolis nnd Duluth reported
1 0-1 enrs, n total of S5I cars for tho tin 00
points, ngalnst 917 last week nnd 686 n year
ngo. Primary receipts were 1.022.0C0 bu.,
compared with last year's 973.000 bu. Sea
board clearances In wheat and flour equaled
iiy.uuu uu. Australian shipments ior rno
week wero only 80,000 bu., ngalnst 331,000
last week.
Corn lost tho greater part of tho bullish
Influence of tho ofllclal crop report which
advanced prices yesterday nnd on Indiffer
ent cables December opened '.40 lie lower.
Trade was dull at tho start and offerings
were rather liberal, which tended toward
a further decline had It not been arrested
by tho quick bulge In wheat. Corn began
to Improve at once with tho better grain,
especially May. and December soon sold nt
57'ic. On tho small reactions thero wns
Buying ror tno outside account nnd on tho
hard spots professionals sold. Thero seemed
to bo considerable short Interest to sell, but
tho feeling prevailed that tho rise In prices
wns not natural and December sagged
rapidly nt the end, closing weak, io lower
ut 6614c. Receipts wero 250 cars.
A range of 14c In December oats Indicates
tho dull and narrow nature of tho market.
Trading was nearly all of tho scalping
nature, with a trilling response to tho action
of other grains. December closcjd 11 shado
down at 351ic Receipts wero 17S cars.
Provisions were higher from tho stnr',
not so much from any particular demnnd,
ns from the cessation of tho outsido liquida
tion that has' been depressing prices for
over a week. Hogs were scarce nnd Janu
ary pork opened 5c higher nt tl6.10'ijl5.I5,
selling to $15.30 and closing 1714c higher nt
$16.2214. January lard closed loc higher nt
$9.0714 and January ribs 1031214c up ut $7,93

NKW YORK STOCKS AMI ROM)?.
Prices Suffer Relapse with Market In
ti'ncertnln Condition.
NEW YORK, Oct. 12,-Tho causo of tho
relapse of prices in today's stock market
was not altogether clear, but tho same
was true of tho sudden advance of yester
day and tho day before. Distrust of the
rumors which were set afloat to account
for it, because of soma Intrinsic grounds
of Improbability, seemed to bo tho renson
for today's reaction. The same brokers,
commonly supposed to act for tho' same
largo standard, tho Morgan, Harrlman nnd
Gould interests, wero active In buying and
bidding up stocks today, as they wero yes
terday. St. Paul, especially, wns forced
again nnd again to the neighborhood of
lb7, but tho last prlco wua iw, oniy 11
shade abovo tho lowest, tho course of that
stock forming on epitome of the whole
market. Thu Centrul and Southern Pacifies
were nearest to this condition. Prices gen
erally show losses on tho day running from
1 to 1 points In tho leaders nnd from that
up to 3 points in St. Paul and tho local
traction stocks, which wero notably weak
throughout. The decreased loan Item of
tho banks failed to show tho full effect of
tho repayment during the week of eomo
tl5,000,0u0 of Now York City revenue war
rants and tho supposition wns, therefore,
made that foreign bankers continue their
borrowing In tho local market to repay
foreign borrowings. The disturbance In the
Pnrls money market points to the likeli
hood of n continuance of tills process, Tho
mnrket closed weak at tho lowest.
Railroad bonds havo been In better de
mand at home. United States registered 4a
closed 4, per cent over tho closing call ot
last week.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says: Tho stock mar
ket today was In tho main firm, but deal
ings were limited lu volume. Tho American
department hung close to purities. Al
though llttlo was done, tho sentiment was
hopeful.

CATTLE As usual on Saturday, thero
wero not enough cattle on salo to mako a
market. For tho week tho supply has been
light, a decrease being noted, both as
compared with last week and nlso with
tho corresponding week of last year, as
the tablo of receipts given above will show.
Tho quality of the cattle offered was also
rather common, but still tho mnrket has
been In good shapo and prices havo Im
proved. Thero wero comparatively few cornfed
steers on tho market last week, und, us tho
demand was liberal, prices advanced l.VJf
25o nil around. Toward tho last of the
week tho market did not seem to bo quite
ns brisk, but still there was not much
chango In tho prices paid, Thero wero
twelve cars on Thursday and Friday from
one man that wero good enough to bring
0.05.
The cow market also ndvnnced qulto
sharply, as tho demand was of liberal
proportions. Anything at nil desirable may
bo quoted 25c higher for the week. The
quality of tho offerings ns a wholo wus
not very good, so that tho ndvoncc on
tho common stuff was not as great as on
tho better grades.
Mulls, calves and stags aro all fully
steady for tho week. Feeder bulla In par
ticular weighing from 700 to 1,000 pounds
nro In strong demnnd,
Stockers and feeders sold well all tho
woek. Heavy cattle wero of course In tho
greatest demand, but prices on those did
not advance ns much as on the lighter
weights, that would scarcely sell at all a
short time ago. Choice yearlings In par
ticular advanced fully 25040c, but even tho
medium weight cattle of good quality also
Jmprovod considerably. The general mur
Ket mny safely bo quoted 25c higher, with
cholco grades 40c higher In extreme cases.
Common trash of all weights was neglected.
Stock heifers advanced the first of tho
week, but lost a good Bhare of It later on.
Western rango steers wero in good de
mand all tho week from packers and prices
Improved 16025c. Common Btult was rathor
Mlow salo, but anything desirable was
picked up In good season. Cows mny also
uo quoted 25c higher for the week and
feeders havo gone up all the way from
S3e to 40c.
HOGS Thero was a light supply of hogs
hero today, and bh advices from other
points were favorablo to tho selling Inter
ests prices here advanced a big 6e. The
bulk today sold at 16.20, an ngnlnut $fi.l5
yesterday. Tho choicer loads sold mostly
from t6.22 to $6.25. There was very little
below $6.20 today, so that the market aver
ages moro than 5c higher. Trade was ac
tive, as packers all had liberal orders and
there wero hardly enough hogs to go
around. Somo of the trnlns wero Into In
arriving, which, of course, delayed the
market to some extent.
The receipts of hogs for tho week hnve
not shown much change from those of tho
last few weeks, but there is still a decreaso
as compared with the samo day of last
year. Tho tendency of prices was down
ward tho first half of tho weok, but at III It
Is to be noticed that Chicago prices havo
been paid on this mnrket all the week. As
compared with tho close of last week thero
Is a declln of 80c to 35c. Wednesday -was
tho low day of the week, the market having
dropped up to that tlmo about 40c, or, as
compared with the high day of the year,
which was September 23, the decline
amounted to fully 75c. Representative sales:

SHEEP There" were no sheep offered to
day to mako a test of tho market. The
supply for tho weok has not been as heavy
ns It was for tho two preceding weeks, or
na compared with the same week of last
year. Tho demand was In good shape, nnd
ns a reRtilt trado ruled active, with the
tendency of prices upward.
Moth owes nnd wethers hnve been In ac
tive demand all the week, and prices, par
ticularly on wethers and yearlings, havo
Improved fully 25c. Lambs havo alo ad
vanced Just about 25c. and anything nt all
cholco ought to soil around $1.50. Toward
the last of tho week Inmbs that wero not
very good nnd of light weight brought $1.25.
Tho demnnd for feeders was of libera!
proportions nil tho week. Wethers seem to
sell better than the lambs nnd may safely
be quoted 10ai3c higher than they wero a
week ago. Iambs are also strong.
