THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1002. 23 CONDITION OF Oil AILVS TRADE ActiT Demand Eipsritnced. Ltit Wuk fr All 8ionabla Qod. PRICES FIRM WITH UPWARD TENDENCY Jobbers ! Manufacturers Making Bljr Preparations for Kitrrtililnf Retailer that Are Exported to Arrive Tbla Week. Omaha Jobber and manufacturer In practlrally all line enjoyed a very liberal patronage laiit week. 1 he city wai full of buyer and In fact there were fully a ninny In town aa during any previous week thla year. A record breaker, however, la looked for thla week, a Jobber alrady have received advlrea from enough mer chant to assure this being the neavlest wfk ever experienced and a good many always come In unexpectedly. All the Jobber and manufacturer have called In their traveling men Irom Iowa and Ne branka and eome from more distant points, ao aa to be able to look after the wantn ot buyer with promptness. Jobber say that there la no mistaking the fact that retailer are enjoying- a brlr-k earlv tall trade and that they are very confident for the future. They all tell the ame itory about condition In their respective terri tories being the baat they have ever seen and th it farmer and all clatea of people re. In better flnanolal condition than ever before. Th fact that the order being plnced show a bin Increase over those placed a year ago would Indicate that the reports are not overdrawn. What ha been said before from week to week regarding the Arm condition of the markets on practically all classes of goods still holds true and the tendency Is undoubtedly In the direction of stronger prices, 'i he demand la ot such liberal pro portions from all sourcea that, even though mills are being run at full force. It seems to be almost Impossible to turn out the goiftls fast enough and Jobbers are coin plaining of the difficulty they are having In getting their order filled. Aa long a that Is the case there Is little cause for looking tor lower prices. In groceries, of course, price fluctuate up anu down witn the seasons, but even there most line are tending upward rather than down ward. In spite of the big crop. Advance In Dried Frnlts. Wholesale grocer report the volume of business aa being ot very satisfactory proportion In all tines and In fact they are having about all they ran do to All their order promptly, tine of the notice able featurea of the market waa the ac tivity In certain line of dried frult. In cluding fancy California apricots and Seachee. I'nuer the InMuence of thl big emand fancy apricots advanced from He to lc per pound and high grade peaches were marked up c. The quantity of these grades, as has been previously intimated, la email. Evaporated apple also come In for their share of attention ud Michigan tock has been advanced lc per pound. Southern stock I not participating to auch an extent, but still even that la Si He per pound higher than It was a week ago. The canned goods market la also very active and particularly I that true of the trade on corn. Some time ago It wa re ported that eastern eanner were ehort on standard grades and as a result they looked to the west for a part of their aup plles. A shortage all over the country has developed and In consequence Iowa can ners experienced a very liberal demand last week, which has caused them to aavanee their prlcea 10c per doaen, and It is thought that atlll higher prices will rule In the near future. The market on tomatoes is also excited and practically everything I bi.li,g Uktii .a rapidly a offered, lialtl more canners are Selling at price equal to $1.09 laid In here, or, In other word, that Is the Jobbers' cost. The sugar market Is a little easier and particularly Is that true of granulated. The large consumptive demand till continues and probably will for th next few day. There 1 nothing at present to Indicate lower prices for some day, although the general prediction Is that a lower market will prevail next month. The cheese market continues active at the last advance and everything offered Is being freely taken. Stocks. It 1 claimed, are Tight in warehouse. The export trade la also Improving and a a result of thl exceptionally good demand both at horn and abroad still higher prlcea ore being predicted. The nut market la active and an advance of Vbo per pound on eoft shell nut Is re ported. The rent of the list la trong at the old figures. - - The coffee market haa shown no paaWtu lar chango since last report. It seem to be fluctuating back and forth through a narrow margin, without any quotable gain In either direction. The tea, market, though. Is very strong and higher price are being looked for. In fact Jobber say they would not be surprised to see the market practically cornered and much higher prlcea prevail. According to report the Japan crop was damuged 30 per cent by frost and indications point to a short age everywhere. It la claimed that not a Sound of early picked tea can be bought In apan. Active Demand for Dry Goad. Dry good Jobber had a very heavy trade last week and In fact they had fully a many visiting merchant aa at any rime. o far this year. The orders placed were very liberal, ao that the total volume of busi ness transacted was exceptionally large. Traveling men are coming In for carnival week to wait upon the rush of buyers that are sure to come and In fact Jobbers ex pect thla week to go far ahead of anything they have ever experienced. Big prepara tion have been made for looking after visiting merchant and Jobbers feel conn dent that they will be able to wait upon all that come without any delay. Bo far a the market Is concerned there I not much to be said that has not been reported previous to this time. The market continues strong on all cotton Roods and tnhbers are still experiencing considerable difficulty in getting duplicate orders filled of many desirable lines. There have been no Quotable change worthy or mention but still there Is a tendency to harden firlce all along the line, and the general mpreaslon is that tlrm price will continue lor om time to come. No Chans In Hardware. All seasonable line of hardware continue to move out at a very rapid rate. Bo far this season local houses have had the beat trade they have evur experienced and pre' ent Indications are favorable for the In crease over previous year continuing. The greatest dlfflcjlty that Jobber have to con tend with I the scarcity of goods. Tools and builders' hardware In particular are scarce, but Jobbera say that the demand mi tall nas oeen aometning pnenomenat. Other line, though, are nearly aa scarce and as a result merchants are anticipating their wants as far as possible ao aa not to be caught short. The market haa not changed materially during the week under re vie. Practically all llnea are In a good strong position and o far a can be told there Is no reason for expecting any weakness to develop for some time to come. v Leather Good Continue Firm. The leather gooda market continue vary firm and manufacturer are either asking little mere money for their lines or else taking a little 0Jt of-them to nake up fur the high price of leather. 80 far as the local situation I concerned wholesaler report trade very active and look for a brisk demand next week when the city will be full of buyer. They are rushing out their fall shipment rapidly aa possible and moat of the houses ar nearly through with advance business. The rubber good trade cnntlnu: active Dotn en footwear and clothing, with normal winter there seems to be but little doubt nut wnat more gooda will be told out of thla city than ever before. Frail aad Prednee. There wis a llb.-ral demand last week for frv.lt both from th city and th country There haa not been much change In the f rices, but It I evident that the season or peache and plums Is rapidly coming to a close. California and Colorado ar fjr ntshing tha most of the peaches, though there were a few Michigan on th market last week. In another column will be found the prlcea at which the different llnea of fruit aa well as of vegetables are selllne. Hevelpt of tat have been rather light all the week and a a result price have advanced a little. The same Is equally true of butter and of poultry. The demand hi, been of liberal proportion, so that all th stock offered met with ready sale. Liverpool Grain aad Provision. LIVERPOOL.

With th exception of corn, trading on the Board of Trade today was light and the tendency was to lower prlcea The demand from shorts In September wheat was again a feature and that option closed c higher, wnlle De cember was Vi'3c lower. December corn closed lc lower, oats were Vkjc lower and January provisions closed unchanged to Sc lower. The September delivery was th leader In wheat and shorts were again good buy er. While the demand wss well suppllwl, the close was strong on that month. Trad ing In the deferred months was fratureless and fluctuations confined within a narrow range.

Feverish Trading Dae to Opposing gpecolat I ve Interesta. NEW YORK. Sept. 27.-There waa a verj feverish trading on th Stock exchange to day, which eemed principally due to a contest opposing speculative Interest. The pool op rations, which were responsible for yesterday sharp upward movements, were again In evidence at tho opening, but the high prices ms'le attracted renewed heavy liquidation. Induced by misgiving that the bank statement would fall to r (al the recuperation which was expected ysterday. There was a heavy break In prices in progress when the bank state ment appeared, ahowing a surplus reserve re-established of $:f.:'36.5iV The bull oper ators thereupon turned upon their oppo nents and marked up prices 14 to 1 point at a Jump, so that the level of the market was seht back to near last night's level and In some cases above. This was fol lowed by another relapse, which carried some stock lower than before and mads the closing feverish and unsettled. Ixiuls vllle suffered to the extent of -4Mi In the late break, owing to the uncertainty whether the minority stockholders are to be allowed to share in the terms which It Is reported will be offered for control by the Atlantic coast line syndicate. St. Paul suffered an extreme loss of over 4 points on account of denials by officials of published reports of a proposed stock subscription right. The dominant Influence was the money situation. The Increase of $1,790,700 In cash reserves of the banks was a total surpriso In view of an Indicated decrease of abojt $4.0iXi,0oO. On the other hand, the loan contraction of $13.i",2.(iii was not as large aa had been looked for. The source of the cash Increase was an unexplained mystery. A pharp fractional recovery In the sterling exchunga market, unusual for Saturday carried rates well away from the gold import h point. The b;ink statement tailed to convince speculators that the necessity for further loan contraction ha entirely passed.

Armour & Co Other buyers Totals 11 4,343 1,642 CATTLE There were several cars of cattle In the yards this morning, but there were not enough of them offered to make a market. For the week receipts show a decrease as compared with last week's record-breaking run. but aa compared with the correSDondine: week of last year there la a good Increase, as will be seen from j tne tame above. The increase ror tne year to date amounts to over IOO.00O head. More than that, the supply ao far thla year Is only about 168,000 head short of tha total , receipts for last year, ao that at the pres ent rate, by the end of October the deficiency will be nearly made up, or. In other words, receipts are nearly two months ahead of last year. There have not been enough cornfed steers in the yards thla week to tell any thing about the true condition of the mar ket. Anything desirable though, has met with ready sale at what looked to be about steady prlcea and practically all that can be said of the market la that It la nominally steady. Warmed up cattle, of course, have not sold very freely, as the packers prefer westerns to that class of corn feds. The cow market la In about the aame position It was a week ago. The first half of the week values picked up a little, but Tuesday and Wednesday proved to be the hl(?h days of the week and on Thursday and Friday the gain waa Just about lost, so that prlcea are now where they were at the close of last week. Bulls, veal calves and stags are ajso selling In practically the aame notches thev did a week ago. The stocker and feeder market has been tn good shape all the week. Uood to choice cattle of all weights may be quoted fully steady. Bpeculatora say they never saw a time when the country buyer. dis criminated against common cattle to the extent that they are thla year. Every body seems to want cattle of good quality, no matter of what age or wclsht. Year lings of good quality have sold to much better advantage this week than they did last. Common cattle, though, of all weights have sold very .lowly and If any thing are a little lower than they were a week ago. Although the big bulk of the tattle thla week conhiated of western rangers the pro portion of beef steers was not at all large. The feature of the trade seems to be the unevenness of the prlcea paid, and as a re sult there Is considerable difference of opin ion as to the position of the market as compared with a week ago. As a general thing, however, the beat grades may be quoted fully steady with last week, but very few of that class have been coming. The top price for the week Is 15.45. but they were choice. The medium grades of cattle are the ones that have suffered and thev are safely 15c lower than they were a week ago. Cattle on the Texas order are also lower for tne week. The very common grades have not shown much change. Good western feeders of all weight, are also f.illy steady for the week and have aold freely. The medium and common kinds, though. have been neglected and are unevenly lower. Range cows are Just about steady with the close of last week, the advance of the first half of the week having been largely lost. HOUS There was a ngni run or nogs here today, but aa reports from other points were not favorable to the selling In terests the market oiiened about 6c lower than yesterday's average, or about steady with yeaterday'. close. Later In the morn ing the feeling became a little better and a good many nogs sold only a shade lower than yesterday's general market. The ex treme close, though, was hardly as good as the middle of the market. The bulk of the sales went from t7.2o to 17.35 and aa high as 17.45 was paid. As will be aeen irom tne tame 01 receipts above the receipts for the week show an In crease over last ween, dui a decrease over tha same week of last year. The first half of the week prices advanced materially. but for the past three days the market haa Dee 11 going aown rapidly ana tne aecune amounts to nearly 80c. and as compared with the close of last week the market la fully 60 lower.
