NORTHERN PACIFIC DEAL MUCH'TALKED OF
English Wonder If ComlnK .Veltlenient
is to Innmtiirnte Another lliioin,
' . Riid They Promise to
Chill II.
LONDON. Nov. 10. The fall In consols,
which le partlnlly attributable to the speech
of the chancellor of the exchequer, Sir
Michael Hleka-Ueach. fnreshndowlng In
creased war taxes, caused everything to bo
dull during the early part of lant week, but
owing to tne nrisn revival in .nirr.c.ni
railway sr euritles, all tho markets cloned
ucttcr
it reem. to moit observers that It would
take but little to start n good upwa'd
movement. With the exception of Amer
icans, there hns been llttlo increase In
business, hut the quickness with which
prices rallied has encouraged a belief that
better markets are In prospect. The North
ern Pacific settlement Is tho subject of
much discussion, especially ns to whether
It Is the beginning of a new boom. If so,
the lmprosslon Is that this would not re
ceive much assistance on the European "due
of the Atlantic, because, neither the In
dustrial, monetary nor political condition
of Europe would Justify a confident attitude
on the part of old world operators.
Continental exchange hast Improved, from
the London point of vlow, nnd therefore
there Is no Immediate prospect of gold
shipments from I.ondnn. The demand for
ffold In the open market has also dlmln
shed. The price of bnr gold shows a slight
decline. The movement of gold to South
America, which began with tho withdrawal
of 118,000 sterling week before last, seems
likely to bo larger than usual. It Is recog
nlied hero that the French demand for
cold has not been entirely Hatlsfled by New
York shipments and that It will bn neces
nary to keep up rates to prevent the rctutn
of French capital.
MARKET HAS GOOD ADVANCE
Stork All Kxposed to Setltni-Un Unles
Firmly .Supported by Their
Present Lenders).
NEW YORK, Nov. 10. (Special.) Henry
Clews, head of tho banking house of Henry
Clows & Co., In his weekly review of Wall
street, says:
Tho stock market has shown much
strength during tho last week, tho advance
being woll distributed nnd well sustained,
The chief stimulant was powerful manipu
lation, based upon progress In tho North
ern Pacific deal. Such complicated nnd
wide-reaching arrangement na this par
ticular ono cannot bo carried to completion
without friction nnd delay, but If nil re
ports are true, very substantial progress
has been made and tho negotiations may
bo announced ns completed at any time.
The Interests Involved In this transaction
are eo vast at.d Interwoven that over slnco
the hitch which developed last spring there
has been a (Inn belief In tho publics mind
that the rival Interests, whatever their
ambitions and disposition, could not afford
to permit an open rupture which would
havo proved ruinous to both sides and
created geneml demoralization. Hence, tho
"street" has llrmly believed In an eventual
settlement of differences after both sides
had consumed enough time for skirmish
ing and reflection. Of course, tho Interven
ing period of doubt was unfavorable, to a
bull market and now that this element of
disturbance Is likely to disappear, tho
speculative situation will bo correspond
ingly cleared itnd Improved.
While conditions nro less favorable than
a. year ago. Mid thero nro weak points that
will bear watching, yet tho situation at
tho moment seems moro favorable to an
Upward than a downward movement. Stocks
nro still highly concentrated In strong
hands and holders aro not willing sellers at
itho present level. No doubt tho strongest
Incentive to operations, for higher prloes Is
(the prevalence of general prosperity. From
.nearly all sections of the country como
reports of continued good business condi
tions. Even In tho drouth stricken districts
business Is better than expected, owing to
other offsets, and no complaints are forth
coming. Hank clearings nro phonomonnlly
heavy, having for several weeks exceeded
last year's heavy totals by 15iT20 per cent
nnd over. Railroads nre often overburdened
with traffic nnd earnings continue to show
gains of l(Vrf 15 per cent over the handsome
gains of last year. On almost every sldo
there nre the most positive evidences of
great Industrial activity and ns yot there
arc no Important signs of cessation, flood
Judges expect tho boom In Iron to continue
for some months to como and nny recession
from present high anil profitable prices
would simply bring In a new lot of orders
that would keep both new and old capacity
fully employed. The woolen goods trade,
which Is rarely whnt Is called prosperous,
Is In hotter condition today than for a long
period, and so the list could be extended.
In a few esses thero are Indications of
production overtaking consumption, but
theso are exceptional. I'rlces in general
are very high nnd as In the case of iron
alight recessions will quickly revive nny
abatement In demand. . Dun's Index figure
Is now at 97.7, Whlchls nbout tho highest
of the last ten years. Tt Is remarknble, but
true, thnt this high level of prices Is en
tirely duo to the failure of production to
keep pace with consumption. Speculation
has had very little to do, thuB far, with
advancing prices and It Is questionable If
we have evr witnessed such a wldo nnd
continuous upwnrd movement In values
relatively free of speculation, ns has been
experienced during the last flvo or tlx
years. Tho question Is, will the present
wavo of prosperity culminate In a specu
lative outbreak or will It recede In n quiet
and orderly fashion?' Tho latter course Is
to be desired, but It will be oxulnst all
previous experience If wo escape dangerous
speculative excesses.
At the moment the most unfavorable
feature In the market Is tho foreign sltua
tlon. The European ninrknts are In on
exceedingly sensitive state, owing to well
understood cnuses, and with another Brit
ish loan In prospect, Amrrlcnn stocks nro
qulto likely to be sold for shipment to the
I'nlted States In an advancing market.
This, of coutsc, would not be favorable to
the foreign exchanges. Tho cotton move
ment, howover, has been backwnrd for a
period, and Increased exports of this staple
would tend to discourage gold shipments.
Tho locul money markat Is not entirely
free of danger, bank reserves being low nnd
tho return of currency from tho south be
ing tardy, owing to the backward move
ment of the cotton crop. Home relief will
bo afforded by Secretary Oage's offer to
buy bonds nnd by the Increase of money
In circulation; but the treasury Is still a
dlMtirblnK feature, locking up funds col
lected by axcesslvn taxation. Congrrs.
SffiiiH likely to do little during tho coming
rceslon; It could at least enrn the good
will of all parties by cutting off superfluous
taxes.
The market has had a good advance and
la exposed to setbacks unless firmly sup
ported by Its present lenders. On nil good
rallies we advise, profit-taking. To In
stdors have stocks to sell nnd the long
pull Is not ns safe ns a year ago. There
will, however, be plenty of money to In
vest after January 1, nnd If a bull cam
paign Is on the market may be well sup
ported until thnt period, If not Inter.
GERMANS ASK HELPING HAND
Sny Wall Street Can He of Service
fc'nw When Ktirnpriina Ar
Uf pressed.
RRRLIN. Nov, 10. The bourse has grown
more stagnant, although values have gen
erally been maintained. Some coal and Iron
Shares Improved several points on the week,
but others foil off. All other Industrials
were weaker. Ocean transportation shares
experienced n new fnll, Hamburg Ameri
can declining 2 and North Germnn Lloyd
4 points. The latter went below par for the
first time In five years.
The Frankfurter X.eltuiiK explains these
declines by pointing to the growing con
viction thnt the bad Industrial situation of
Kutope "must eventually affect tho lines
unfavorably "
The Cologne Gazette argues that Ihe
competition of American anthracite with
Herman anthracite Is not to be feared. In
asmuch as the price of coal delivered to
nhlne boats at Rotterdam Is 29 marks for
the American product, whereas the Herman
mines offer tho nunc quality nt 11 marks,
To t,hls the Berliner Taggblatt replies that
the continued Imports of American anthra
cite demonstrate the ability of tho Amer
icans to compete nnd It expresses a hone
that American competition will compel the
German producers to reduco prices to a
point where Imports can bo easily stopped,
The Frankfurter '.rlttinn reports that
American speculators are Inquiring whether
ipis is a lavornoin tiino 10 invest in uerni'lti
coal shares at the present reduced prices
and that the answer Is generally In the
negative. "For this reason," says this
Journal, "the export of shares to the I'nlted
States has nearly ceased nnd thero Is only
slight prospect of early resumption."

NEW YORK Nov. 9. Today s stock
market was broad and comprehensive in lis
Mope and ncthc nil day. It was al o
hlgnly Irregular throughout, but incrcav
Ingty so toward the close, when the unex
pected ilrcre.is,. in the cash reserves of
the banks repotted In the weekly MrU
inent was offset by n buoyant upward spurt
In the New Yorg public utilities, len by
Metropolitan Hirer,, Kiitmnv. which ui.e
6 points ovei Inst night. Brooklyn Trnns.t
gained ii, Consolidated Oas 2i4 and Man
hatlan 2 points At the same time there
were enormous transactions In Third Ave
lino Street Rallua. Peoples Clas came
Into the movement, apparently In sympathy
and there was a siiodtn Jump of J'4 In
I'respcd Steel Car nt the last Durinr the
third hour there were widely distributed
oeallngs, based op rumors of large railroad
earnings for the fourth week In October
und the heller In the enrly Improvement In
money conditions.
Al the same time tliero was heavy real
izing Kolng on In stocks which have hid
eonldi5rable advance lately, the renltzlug
being, howover well absorbed. The dis
position to take prollts Incteased nfler the
appearance of the bank statement and
the market closed In some confusion and
very active.

CATTLE There were not enoush cattle
on sale today to make a test of the market.
For the week there has been a lairiy
liberal run. receipts being Just about tho
same as they were last week. As com
pared with the corresponding week of last
year there has been a marked Increase, as
the table of receipts given above will show
A noticeable fenturo of the receipts has
been the Increase lu cornletl natives and
the decrease In Western rangers.
The sumilv of cornfed steers nas been
more liberal this week than at any time
slnco tho rango senson opened. The de
mand, however, wns fully equal to the
occasion nnd prices on the better grades
Improved 10,J15c. The commoner kinds did
not advance that much, but still they
could be quoted fully steiidy for tho week.
Good to choice cattle arc selling from
56.1m to $6.40, fair to good from $5.50 to $6.00
and common kinds tiom $5.50 down.
Cows were In falrlv liberal sutinlv all
the week, but the better grades may be
quoted strong to 10c or 15c higher than at
the close of Inst week. Cornfed cows nro
beginning to arrive now nnd nre selling
from J3.o0 to 4.oo. it is largely guess
work what a nrlmn bunch of cornfed
heifers would bring, but It is probably safe
to quoto them up 10 i.i&. 1 he general
run of cows thnt are not cornfed arc roll
ing mostly from $2.75 to $3.25, fanners nnd
the medium grndes of cows are only about
steady for the week.
Veal calves are anoui sternly tor tno
week anil are selling from J5.0J to $5.o0.
Stnss nre fullv steadv and a bunch of
twenty-two head sold for $5.15 on Frldiy.
HiiIIh nro ulnn nbrillt Mtnmll with tin. clnan
of last week. They nre sclilng mostly from
2.2fi to ?.i.ut. tnoiign strictly cnoico nuns
would probably tench $4.00.
Good to choice heavyweight feeders and
prime yearlings mny be quoted a little
stronger foi the week. The best ernden
are selling from $3,75 to $1.23, Fnlr to good
cattle are worth from $3.50 to $3.75 and the
common kinds nre selling from $1.50 down.
Stock cows and lienors aro not rar from
steady for the week. They nre selling
mostly from $2.75 to $3.15. .Slock calves
took another riron this week; the decline.
'though, was mostly on Monday and Tues-
dav. Since that time the market has been
about steady. Steer calves aro quoted from
$3.2i to w.io nnu neirer caives irom j.'.io to
i.l.25.
Western range beef steers have been
rathor scarce all the week, while the de
mand hns been liberal. Prices as a result
are a little higher, The best grades nre
selling from $4.61 to $5.lu. The general run
are bringing from $4.40 to $4.60. Good rango
cows are loft 15c higher for the week and
others steady. Choice grades are worth
from $3.40 to $3.90. Good to choice stockers
nnd feeders aro a little stronger for the
week, but the medium and common cattle
are a llttlo lower. The same quotations
noted above for natives will apply to
westerns.
HOGS There was a fajrly liberal run of
hogs here todny, but the demand was
heavy, so the market opened up enrly it
an advance of 5g7Ho. The bulk of tho
hogs sold at $5.72vj'n'o."f. with the choicer
loads going from $5.77Vs to $5.93. A few
of the commoner grndes nnd lightweights
sold below $5.72H. At those prices It was an
active market nnd the close was good and
strong, everything being out of first hands
In good season.
The receipts for the week have been about
normnl, A slight Increase Is noted over
last week and also over the corresponding
week of Inst year. 80 far iib prices a,ro
concerned there have been no very radlcil
chnnges during the week, Mnndny was
the high day, when the nverage tjpst was
a fraction over $5.S2U, Friday was the low
day, with the average at $5.67H. Today's
advance, however, makes the market a
shade lilgherMhan It wns at the cloie of
last week. Representative Males:

OMAHA. Nov. 9
The trade situation In Oir.jin.i .
rounding territory considerably
last week. That Is. of cotirsc, owing lo tl i
ccol weather, which stimulated the ' 'fnia.'d
nil through the country for hem yxylght
goods. For the.lnut several weeks both t. -tallers
and Jobbers have, beell doing cu
slderable complaining owing to the tin-e.i-sonable
weather, but now they arc In iiui h
better spirits and say that w h intuiting
like a normnl winter they will casll eii
more goods thnn they over havo before
According to reporls received from trav
eling men retailers hail a good btlsk trade
last week and tho way lu which collections
picked u,i go to bear out those slnlement
Jobbers, of course, have, not cperl-tued
any material Increase In demnnd. as t icte
hns hardly been tlmo enough for rctallets
to break their stocks. It will only take a
few wo.ks, though, of good trade In the
country to bring In re. orders from every di
rection, i, . ..
Thnt merchants have considerable, confi
dence In future business Is evidenced by
the manner In which they are buying the r
spring lines. Local houses all have their
men out on the road with spring samples
and as they have taken moro orders for
future delivery than ever beforo this earl)
In the year they are well pleased with that
branch of the trade.
The markets hae shown more fluctun
Hons during the week than they have for
some tlmo past. A few lines have taken a
drop, but still that does not mean that
prices are becoming demoralized. Those
who ought to know sny that values are
on ns tlrtn a foundation ns they well could
be nnd that the few drops that havo taken
plnce are owing to local conditions more
than to a lack of demand or of overpro
duction. It may still be said that the gen
eral tendency of prices Is upward, as thero
have been more advances thnn decline
In n great many lines there Is dllllcully ex
perienced In getting enough stock to meet
the demand nnd there Is no reason nt Ihe
present time for predicting nny decrease
In the consumption,
Menaatlnnnl Drop In Anwar.
On Thursday of last week It was an
nounced thnt tho price of sugar on Friday
would be $1.25. This was a. drop of about
1c per pound, which Is the most radical de
cline that has taken place In some time. It
Is claimed thnt the drop Is not justified bv
conditions, ns raws have not suffered a like
decline. It Is stated that rellners nre now
selling nt a loss. As to how long this prl n
will last Jobbers, are not In n position t
state, hut they hnrdly look for another
drop and they would not be surprised to
see nn advance at most any time, As soon
as the $1.25 price was announced local Job
bers received orders from every direction
nnd had they sold tho amount asked for
their supply would have been exhausted lu
a short time. As It Is they are limiting the
size of orders, but even then they can sell
moro stock than they can secure.
The coffee market Is also In an excited
condition. Local Jobbers received cable
grams last week stating that the crop of
Santos coffees is more seriously damaged
by dry weather than previously reported
As a result the market firmed up rapldlv
and stimulated buying. It Is claimed now
that the crop will not go over 7,00).u
bags, while It was formerly estimated at
12,000.000 bags.
In farinaceous goods there Is a stronger
feeling on rolled oats nnd prices havo ad
vanred 25c per barrel. This, of course,
affects the package goods ns well as tho
bulk.
"Syrups are nlso advancing owing to th
high price of corn. Since Inst report prices
have gone up nbout three sealo. Tin
mnrkei may be sold to be In a strong posi
tion at the advance and higher prices aro
predicted for the future.
Canned goods are very firm, with the ten
dency of prices upward. The only chatigo
of the week Is a still further advance on
tomatoes.
The new crop of rice Is now being re
celved. and ns receipts are quite liberal
there Is an easier tone to the market.
It Is freely predicted that higher price
will rule on laundry soap at no vcrv ills-
tnnt date. This Is said to be owing to the
fact that the Ingredients entering Into Ihe
manufacture of soap have been going up
for some time pnst, so thnt manufacturers
nro forced to advance these prlcos. Iaic.iI
Jobbers aro now selling snap at a louer
figure than they can buy. so that thev will
probably ralte their prices as soon ns th'lr
present supply Is exhausted.
