NEW YORK, Nov. 3. (Special.) Henry flown, head of the banking liouso of Henry f'lcwa & Co., in Ills weekly review of Wall sticct says: Tho stock market Is still under the In fluence ot coiuutlng and conflicting condi tion. Humors of an early removul of tho Northern l'ncltlc deadlock had a stimulat ing ctfect upon values, while the Amulga meted Copper situation and the possibility of flirt her gold exports were distinctly ur nivoralile. This trio of uncertainties was quite Hiilttclcnt to keep out tho public us biiei. uml leave Hih market entirely to the tinder mercies 01 prolesslonnl traders In the (ibK'rico of uny aggressiveness ty tho big icnCcrt: W'ltn st many uncertainties In the (lnnn ela! iiuiophero and attention to business siimnwhat diverted by the excitement of n 1 optical cninnilKii. thu time la lint pro- V liiiiui' inr any orBunizeii nun movement.

As for the lud.istrlals there Is lortunate'y little spoculatlnn In these, but they will bo the first and most sensitive to any commercial reaction. Thus far our prosperity Iiiih been so great that we seem comparatively Indifferent to European de pression, yet It must not be overlooked tl'iit uny Impairment of Europe's purchasing ubilltltti will Inevitably be reflected hro ami that tho contluuiinre of low prices In Europe und high prices in the United Htntes means a cheek upon our exports and n stimulus to our Imports that will soon put an end to the phenomenally favorable i rude balances with which wo huve been congratulating ourselves during thu last lour or five years. Alieudy there have been symptoms of a chanec In tho drift of our forelcn trade. exports having shown two or threw declines und imports n steady growth, and this fact wus emphasized by this week's shipments or ifiiiu in a time wnen wo are usually irn Hurting cold. Because of our treat llnan iilal strength and prosperity It Is nrgtied wo can easily spnre considerable sums for Euiope's needs, which may be fortunately true, but It does not alter the fact that our International exchanges are In a les-s favor able condition than they huve been for sev. eral years. At present wo need feel no serious concern about gold exports, for iianii reserves win soon negin to rise, ana there ure no present indications of lm nortant disturbance In the local money market, especially with Secretary Gage's precautionary oner to njy oonus in nn emergency. On tho favorable side of the market wo liavo the expected end of tho Northern Pa cllli: deadlock, which has proved such .nn Insuperable obstacle to all speculative operations slnco last -summer. Very likely Its Immediate effect will be fully discounted when tne xormai announcement appears. Mini me generni marKet win ue uisunciiy relieved hv tho removal of u very threaten ing clement. Another encouraging feature Is tho satisfactory condition of general business. There are no signs yet of reac tion, und the principal lines of trade are cnAoylng another season of unexampled prosperity. This is truo of the entire coun try except in tho drouth district, whero corn nna coiion wcru uuaiy injured. The agricultural Interests of tho country ns u whole arc prosperous. Iron has al ways been considered a good barometer of trade, and If this be truo conditions .nxst ) satisfactory, for the great Iron mills ot tho country uie running to their fullest capacity, with orders three and six months nhead at present high nrlces. Railroad earnings are excellent, Tho percentages of gain nre not quite so large as last year, but this Is not to bo expected and certainly cannot be construed una bearish feature.

MARKETS FIRM WITH UPWARD TENDING Tntnl Voltnnr of lluMncn Transacted In Oelntirr l.'ntiiiiiires Pn vornhlr ulth that of Ihe nmr .Munlli of I, list Year. OMAHA, Nov. I. Now that the month of October Is at an end, local Jobbers arc making comparKoim with the niiiount of business transit-to, I during the inunin with that of tho cone spoiidlug period of last year. While it cannot bo snlil that there have been any very Important galii over lust y.enr, Micro has, nevertheless. Item Just us much busi ness done thli year ns ever before. The ;lrst half of tho month there was u marked l i crease over the corresponding period ot last year, but later on. owing to iho pr i longed wurm went her, thcio was com intuitively little ri-ornerlnij and conse quently there wus u Inl.lng oil, ' .V''V ot the unseasonable wuither. Jobbers think thev huve done remiirKiibly well lo ke even with luM sciuoii. Tney suv tliut .ill that Is needed fioni now oil, In normal weather and under those conditions they have no tear but what trade will go far ahead of any previous car. So fur as luivancc orders are concerned, no one has any complaint to offer. Travel ing men are selling more prlug goods thiin ever before this e.iriy in tun seusun, wh.clt would indicate nu unusual iimuuut ut con lldeiici In future bualnoss. There havn bieu no mure than the urual amount of fluctuations In prices slnco last report and li. fact most lines may be '.ild tn bo unchanged. Thu few fluctuations that have taken place, ll will be noticed, nio nutstl in the ulrictlon of higher pries. Iho geiieial market couul not well bo In .1 more healthj coiidltfoii than ll Is at thx present time nnd both wholeeniers and letallcrs hae no fear of values reaching ii lower level for some time to come. Soft Simnr n Mimic l.onrr. The grocery market has not shown any sensational change during tho week. Thero nre, however, a tow fluctuations which nro worthy of notice. Among these Is tho nd vanco and decline In tno price of oft sugar. Tho lirsl of the week prices wme advanced 6 points, but later on tho market eased off 10 points, so that the market at the close of the week Is about l-16c lower on softs than nt the oloic of the provlouj week, Grnuulnted sugar- did not chango during the weik. Tho coffee market still continues In a very strong position, owing lo the fact that report.! from Santos arc very discouraging. It Is claimed that the crop has been seri ously damaged by prolonged dry wentluf nnd as a result the tendency Is to ndvanco prices. The market Is now about Uc h.ghor than it was n week ago und during Mm Inst ten days prices have udvanced fully lite. In farinaceous goods thero has not been much change. Oatmeal, however. Is n little firmer and beans nud practically all other lines remain unchanged. Dried fruits are selling rather slowly nt the present Mm?. This Is doubtless owing to the warm weather, which always ma terially decreases the consumption, but with tho advent of cotd weather the de mum! will doubtless Improve niutcrlally and somo nro of tho opinion that It might re sult In slightly higher prices. The only change noticeable In the market for ennned goods Is the continued tendency toward higher prices on tomatoes. Holders nre confident that udvances ure bound to take place In the near future nnd consa qtiently uie very Indifferent sellers. Tho ropo marKet Is higher than It was a week ago. This applies to both sisal nnd Manila, the latter having advanced a full cent per pound. Other staplo lines of groceries have not changed enough to bo worthy of mention. Light Demand for Dry Goods. Dry goods Jobbers have been having rather a quiet time during the last week. Very few merchants have been on tha market and mall orders have also been rather light. The cause of this Is. of course, found In the unseasonable weather, which retards trade In tho country. Merchants have not sold enough of their winter goods as yet to break up their stocks, conse. ciuently they nre not buying more until there aro signs of their present supply be ing exhausted. Thero Is not much com plaining being done In tho country, how ever, as they feel certain that It Is only a question of tlmo when business will be as brisk ns they could desire. The way In which merchants nro placing their orders for spring goods Is taken ns an Indication that they have confidence tn the future. Traveling men are very much pleased with the amount of stock they have sold this early and ure very hopeful for the future. The market continues In a very strong position und particularly Is that true of cotton goods. Although there have been no great changes in colored cottons, the market Is In a very strong, healthy condi tion. Lending lines of denims, ticks and shirtings have been advanced silghtiv dur ing tho Inst few days and the mills am said to bo well sold up. Unbleached cottons have not been nuvnncea, mil nienclien goods nre very firm nnd further ndvanccs fti thn nenr tiiturn on hnth thn hlenrheil und unbleached would cattso no surprise. print ciotns uro now ai mo nigncsi prion reached for more Minn n year. The present price Is 314c Local Jobbers have received word to tho effect that on November 5 nn advance will take place on American pr.nts, shirtings anu competing lines amounting la about Uc. Mournings, Indlgoes and other staple prints uro also very llrm and further advances ure looked for at most any time. iTom tno r.novo cminges h is seen mat the diy goods market Is In a good, healthy condition and those who ure nosted on th situation suy that dry goods at present prices aro gooa property. Hardwire Market Unchanged. Hardware jobbers are also fccllnc to somo extent tho effect of the continued pleasant weather. There Is, of course, but llttlo de mand in tno country nt tno present time for such lines us stoves and Mint class ot goods and consequently orders aro rather limited. Taking the month us a whole, however, Jobbers sny that they have dono lully ns much buslnesa ns they did n year ago. und ns a result they arc making no complaint. So far us the market Is concerned there Is nothing startling to announce. Although there lias nccn tome iuik oi iuio oi a arop in tho price of nails Investigation shows that that has been brought abo.it from tho Hint that somo Independent concerns huve recently been looking for a market for their goods and In some Instances cut firlccs to somo extent. Thnt tact, however, iii3 not affected tho general market in tho least. Another f cut urc which has perhaps helped to create tho Impression tliut nails aro lower cumc about from the readjust- mom oi prices in unicago. until unoui a week ugo thu Chcugu prices were higher than those iiuoted by Omaha Jobbers and as a result prices wero reduced slightly In Chicago, which brought them down about In line with Omaha quotations. So far nu Mils market is concerned,; men, mere nan been no rliango whatever nnd In fact tho mnrket mav ho raid to ho In it cood. hculthy condition. Other lines ure also un changed und those who olil lo know y that thero is no reaiou iwr ioKing lor uny Important chiiiigo tor some tlmo to come. This market Is now heller supplied with Unseed otl than It has linen for somo little Hm.. nasi. Stock Is coming In every i!-iv and lohbers hop lo have a sulllclciit supply In tho luiure. i nu ruling prices aro now 63 cents for raw and 6f cento lor holled, which Is a trifle higher than quotations given a week ago. Tiirpentlno remains steady and so also does while lead at tha ilrcllno of cent mentioned u week ago. Thero urn no new features In the glasi market, us the demand continues qut heavy, with prices unchanged. Pcnrln StHrkct. PEORIA. Nov. I.-CORN-FIrm: No, I. 59! ?c. ijath Firm: .no, a wiute, oMiijasc.
