Iast week waa undoubtedy tha banner
twk of tha year with Omaha Jobbers and
manufacturer. Mora buyers. In fact, were
In the city than have ever been here be
fore and not only that, but they bought
more ' good than they generally do while
In the city. Jobbera were forced to work
their men overtime In order to fill their
orders promptly, but aa merrhanta were all
a r, Ions to have the goods shipped Im
mediately, no order could be carried over
from one day to the ret. Moat of the
traveling salesmen In the states of Ne
braska. Iowa, Kansas and South Dakota
were called In to help entertain their custo
mer, ao that visitors were well cared for.
Jt waft very notlneable that there were a
Rood many retailer on the market who had
never bojght here before and traveling men
atated that they had been after some of
them for a long time to vlalt Omaha and
had at last aucceeded, with the result that
tKav Ilhernl order after looking
aver Mock and price. Other buyer were
In reality outside of what Is generally con
sidered Omaha a territory, and they came
here simply to take In the carnival, but
after visiting the jobbing houses they also
placed good orders. Wholesalers are nat
urally well pleased with the outcome of
carnival week and all agree that It has
been the moat successful yet held, both In
Immediate and permanent results.
During the week a good many prominent
merchants were Interviewed regarding the
condition of trade and the general buslnesa
situation In 'their respective communities'.
Without an exception they atated that al
though they have been In business for some
time, yet they never saw a fall when the
outlook for future business was so en
couraging aa It In at the present time. Not
only that, but Immediate trade la also ex
ceptionally brink and already retailer
atocka are beginning to ahow the effects of
a good demand. The general belief la that
there will be a very heavy consuming
demand all the fall and winter and for that
reason retailers are buying more freely
than usual.
The markets have not fluctuated to any
great extent during the week under review
and the situation as a whole can be
summed up by calling the .narket on nearly
all lines firm and active.
Waoleeeale Grocer Report.
Wholesale grocers report trade for last
reek aa being very heavy, with many lib
eral buyers In the city. The market on
most lines has ruled very strong and some
advances have taken place. Canned gooda
have gained additional strength and that
la particularly true of tomatoea, which are
being held about 10c per dozen higher than
they were ten days ago. The situation is
auch that thoae who are bent posted on the
situation do not see how there can be any
relief from any source. California canner
admit that they are oversold and will have
difficulty In tilling their contracts. The
Utah pack Is In the balance, as a froet
would cut off their supply without a mo
ment's notice and leave them at the pres
ent time far short of a sufficient quantity
to fill contracts. Eatern packers It Is
claimed, will hardly be able to pack any
thing beyond the requirements of their
nearby trade, no matter how favorable the
weather conditions should be from this
. time on. That being the general situation
It la not. thought that lower prices can rule
than tnose now In force. The demand for
corn has been very heavy at the recent
advance of lWsrliHc per dosen and the east
Is taking up all the surplus stock offered by
Iowa cannere.
The feature of the dried fruit trade la
tha opening of prloea on loose Muaoatel
raisins, London layers and seeded raisins.
I.ooae Muscatels have opened higher than
was anticipated by m?c per pound. The
situation Is such thst all the packing houses
are controlled by the association, which
seems to have the situation well In hand.
Prices on layers are about the same aa last
aeaaon. Seeded retains have opened low,
In comparison with the loose, the difference
being about Itc, aa compared with 2o per
vuunu ibi year. 11 ins present, marset on
loose raisins is maintained It will not be at
all surprising to aee an advance on aeeded
raisins as soon as the seeders get together.
New California flga have come Into the
marset at prices that enable thera to sell
at retail for 10c ner lurkun Tk nualliv
. It Is claimed, Is better this yean than haa
'been shown for some lime. The currant
market remains about the same, the new
foods coming In at about the same prices
hat were secured for the old ones.
The sugar market haa declined I points
nuring wie wees ana ine cnange arrected all
lines. This decline has been anticipated,
owing to the fact that the period of heavy
wnRuniifuun is Dout at an enn.
The cheese market continues verv atrnncr
with tha demand exceptionally heavy both
at home and abroad. Ruling quotationa are
about lo per pound higher than they were
a wees ago.

owing to the scarcity of spot stocks. The
crop is not yet ready for market be
cause of the excessive rains In the bean
producing sections.
Dry goods jobbers had about all the bust.
nesa they could comfortably handle last
week' and In fart thev had to wnrlr nil
their house salesmen as well as their trav
eling men half the night In order to keep
up with their aalea. It waa by far the
buatest week of the wesson and some were
of the opinion that It waa the busiest ever
experienced. The orders placed were not
particularly heavy, but there were so many
of them. The reason for the orders not
being very large la that most mtrrkinn
have ought the bulk of their goods and are
new simply tilling In. There were a few
very .heavy blila placed, however. Jobbers
look for tha volume of business to show a
little decrease from now on. although a
brisk reorder trade Is anticipated, owing to
tha good demand In the cojntry.

jobbers to place orders for spring goods so
that they may make prompt delivery, A

' Hardware About Steady.
There has been ho chsnge during the
week under review In the market for staple
inea or narawar. The market may be

to be looking for any Important fluctuations
In the near future. There Is the same

CHICAOO, Oct. 4. Higher price ruled at
the opening on the Board of Trade today,
Influenced chiefly by the wet weather pre
vailing throughout the west and south
west. Corn was especial. y active and
strong. Higher prices, however, brought
out considerable realising In the latter
grain, which Imparted a weaker tone to
the situation, the weakness being conveyed
to the surrounding pits. December corn
closed Vfto lower, December wheat
c lower, with oata c lower. January
provisions closed from a shade to tc lower.
Heavy rains In the southwest and the
strength In corn were bull factors In wheat
at the opening. With favorable weather
reported In the northwest and the break In
corn there was a corresponding decline In
wheat later In the session. Local traders
and outsiders were active s-llers. Unre
sponsive cables, small caah business and
moderate receipts had a sxadying effect
on the market. December opened HViC to
HTHC higher at 70Htr7Oe. Heavy realiz
ing carried the price down to 697c. The
close was Vtdc lower at 70c. Clearances
of wheat and flour were equal to 1.035.000 bu.
Primary recelpta were Lilt. bu., against
1.175,000 a year ago. Minneapolis and Du
luth reported receipts of 13 cars, which,
with local recelpta of 118 cara. only two of
contract grade made total receipts for the
three points of 931 cars, sgalnst 9S5 a week
ago and 947 last year.
The weather map was again the main
factor In the opening advance In corn.
The heaviest general rainfall of the season
was reported during the last twenty-four
hours and predictions were for a continu
ance of the unfavorable conditlona. A
large volume of business was transacted
and although a decline was experienced
later In the session on heavy realising, the
market in general was firm. December
opened unchanged to He higher at 4HfinHo.
On realizing the market dropped to 467fc?
4Svc. The cloee was SSc lower at 4:"U
49MiC. Local receipts were 139 cars, with
twenty-three of contract grade.
Fair activity was manifested In oats and
prices were higher early In sympathy with
the strength In other grains. There wa a
food demand early for December snd May.
Ight receipts were slso a strengthening
factor, as wss the wet weather, pront-
sklng and selling by a local commission
house weakened prices. December opened
higher at MHiH'ic, selling between
$2l,c and 334C, tloslng Hflc lower at 32V(?
120. Local receipts were 161 cars.
Provisions were rather irregular, opening
strong In sympathy with corn and on light
receipts of hogs, with higher prices for
the same at the yards. Later there was
decline on selling by a local packer, with
quite general liquidation. January pork
cloned tc lower at $16.70, lard closed a shade
lower at $i.82ViaS and ribs 6c lower at
$8.22'i.
Estimated receipts for Mondayt Wheat.

NEW YORK STOCKS AMD BOM1J

haklmaj of General Confidence.
NEW YORK, Oct. 4. There was much
confusion and excitement In the stock mar
ket asam today, which resulted in prices
at a level from 1 to $ points lower than last
ntsht for most or tne prominent active
stocks. The failure of the coal conference
at Washington to effect a settlement pre
vented the recovery wnicn woum naturany
have followed from the refutation of yes
tetday'a false rumors that the comptroller
of the currency had overruled the decision
of Secretary Shaw to remit the requirement
L con national banks to maintain a io per
cent reserve against government deposits.
After an effective recovery the market re
ceived a second shock from the appearance
o' the bank statement without change In
Its form to Indicate the reduction in reserve
requirements permitted by Secretary Shaw.
Tl-at Is to say, government deposits are still
included with the deposits and reserve re
quirement estimated at 25 per cent of the
total, with .he resjlt that a decrease in
the surplus is indicated of $1,417,425. bring
ing down thst Item to $l.K19.id. The clear
ing house commission was lung In session
before the bank statement was given out
ard no statement accompanied It to show
w hat policy dictated it. A footnote to the
bank statement gives the amount of gov
ernment deposits with clearing house banks.
s natever may be tne motives impelling tne
action of the clearing house the operators
In stocks jumped to the conclusion that
for stock market purposes the position of
the New York banks Is to be regarded as
though Secretary Shaw's ruling was nut In
firce. The fact remains that the secre
tary's permissive latitude upon the banks
i available In case of a determination by
the clearing house to change its decision
or to relax Its rjle at Its own discretion.
The marked etrength of foreign exchange,
ss a result of the week's easy money mar
ket and tha shutting off of any hope of
gold imports, or even with some apprehen
sion of possible demand for gold exports,
probably Influenced the clearing house au
thorities. The Imperial Bunk of Germany
followed the example of the Bank of Eng
land and advanced Its discount rate I per
cent today.
Banking conditlona had become auch at
the opening of the week that a considerable
lean contraction was Imperative, and loans
placed In the stock market were called In
auch large volume aa to run the call loan
rate up to li per cent and precipitate a
crisis in the slock market. Monday evening
(he market closed In a state of demoraliza
tion and there were grave fears that a
panic would v,nsue on Tuesday. But the
next morning the announcement had been
made of the drastic measures fur the money
situation offered by Secretary Shaw, and
there was a convulsive rebojnd In prices of
mocas wnicn ratner more than wiped out
the seml-pantc decline of Monday. The
nervousness and excitement of the trading
decreased from day to day until the mar
ket settled down Into dullness toward the
end of the week. Ihe level of prices had
reached about that of Ust week's closing
and waa higher in some cases. So mucn
for the market effect of the Important
steps taken by the secretary of the treua
ury. The effect on the money market whs
equally marked, but not so prompt. The
extreme stringency ot the market was re
lieved and a stop was put to the forced
nqui isiion in tne stock market, but rates
continued high In ell department Call
loan rates settled down to about an 8 r
cent btslJ and time loans up to four monllis
eorrniatmea a premium over the pex cent
legal rate The conviction emerged that
hlfh money rates are likely to be main
tained for the remainder of the year. It is
felt that a prodigal replacement of the re
lief fund tu Stot,k exchange loans would
endanger the situation again and the policy
of bankers and large financial powers has
been enough to discourage any renewal of
speculstlve activity for the present.
The crop movement period brings a lsrge
Increase In the need for money to pass from
hand to hand In the payment of wages and
for small lots of farm prooucts In cash.
The withdrawal of cash on deposit with
the biinka for these purposes necessitates
a contraction of loans In the proportion .of
$3 for every $1 withdrawn from hank sur
plus reserves. As the credits of the banks
were already placed up to their utmost
available limits this drsln upon reserves
left no alternative but the drastic loan
contraction which waa threatening the sta
bility of the financial fabric. As s large
need for additional circulation still remains
to be met there Is a disinclination on the
part of the bankers to put out loans against
the newly available cash, upon which fur
ther rails may yet be made. The easing of
the local money market has also met with
a prompt response In the foreign exchange
market, showing the large extent of the
tu.ii.idiua uni(atiuiis to foreign lenders
and their disposition to reduce them. Re
ports from London. Paris and Berlin In
dicate that money lenders at those centers
are not disposed to extend their credits In
New York any further at present and some
dissatisfaction has been expressed with
American collateral for loans. The weekly
exhibits of the banks of England, of France
and the Imperial Bank of Germany show
thnt they have lost gold In large amount
and have been called upon for large
amounts of credits. The advance In the
Bank of England discount rate from 3 to
4 per cent la the Index of the straightened
condition of the foreign money market and
the unwillingness to part with any of their
gold reserves. Next Week the final 20 per
cent Installment on the British consol issue
calla for about HS.OOO.OOO In the London
money market. The proposed Transvaal
loan looms In the perspective and is ex-
fiected to be for $2i0,uu0,(m. A Japanese
oan. a French loan, a Russian loan and
loans to varieus small European govern
ments are In the background to prompt to
the conservation of resources In the Euro
pean centers. Our Imports for September
were of record proportions. Cotton has
gone out quite freely, but the high price of
wheat, owing to the September specjlatlon,
and the slow movement of corn to market
has kept down the exports of those staples
and the supply of exchange bills to meet
maturing obllgatlona. The probability of
further Imports of gold beyond an expected
errlval of $I.OUO,uO at Ban Francisco next
week Is not counted upon. The caretul
husbanding bank resources Is believed to
be imperative to conserve the safety of
the markets for the present. It Is very
notable, however, that confidence In the
prosperity of general conditions Is unim
paired. Stocks weretnot sold wllllnglv, even
when money rates were highest, and only
the exigencies upon the banks themselves
sufficed to satlsiy liquidation. The deter
mination Is still strongly manifest to keep
all the resources that can be secured in
holdings of stocks.
Prices of bonds were well sustained.

call.
The New York Financier this week says:
The New York banks' statement of October
4 was made according to the long estab
lished rule, which includes United States
deposits as requiring a 26 per cent reserve.
This was In accordance with a decision
reached by the clearing house Friday. The
official statement of the New York associ
ated banks last week showed on the basis
of circulation of net deposits heretofore
employed In making the analysis or Includ
ing In such net deposits those of public
funds, a surplus reserve of $1,1S9,200. The
government deposits reported to the clear
ing house last week were $40,796,300. De
ducting thla amount from the net deposits
of $S2,176.O00, In accordance with the ruling
made Tuesday last by Secretary Shaw,
that reserve against such deposits when
they were secured by pledge of government
bonds would not hereafter b required,
tends through a reduction In the require
ments to raise the surplus reserves of the
banks to $12,111,015. Applying the same
course In analysing the bank statement of
September 20 a surplus of $10,102,326 would
be shown instead or a denclency of $1,8(2,060
and treating In a similar manner the state
ment of September 27 there, would be shown
a surplus of $13,423,125 Instead of $3,326,625.
The statement of last week Indicated a de
crease of $1,725,827 In loana. the smallest
since the contraction In this Item began
August 16 In this period the total reduc
tion in loans has been $6,564,300. The cash
fell oft $2,350,200. against an estimated de
crease of $1,975,700; the loss last week makes
the total since August 16 I27.324.1W0. The
deposits were decreased $4,343,100 making
the total reduction since August 16 $88,070,
000. The reserve requirements. Including
in the net deposits those of public funds,
were $l.oy,775 less by reason of the de
crease above noted on deposits. Deducting
this Item from the loss of cash leaves
$1,467,145 decrease in surplus reserve which
now stands at $1,819,200 against $16,660,023 at
the corresponding date a year ago. As
above noted, the computation based upon
the release of reserve against public de
posits would make the surplus last week
$12,011,626. The circulation wss Increased
$63,000. The dally average of bank clear
ings last week was $2.6.00O,u0O, reflecting
October settlements. The most notable
changes in loans were shown In gains by
three banka of $4,300,000 and a loss of $1,000.
000 by one Institution. Changes in specie
showed losses by four banks of $6,600,000
and a gain or xz.boo.ouo by one bank.

CATTLE There were not enough cattle
here today to make a test of values, but for
the week receipts have been about tho
same as for last week, snd a big increase
Is noted as compared with the correspond
ing week of last year. The table ot re
ceipts above will show ths exact figures.
in spite or tne big runs all the ween
there have been very few cornfed steers on
sale. In reality there have not been enough
to tell much about the true condition of th
market, and about all thnt can be said is
to call prices about steady with last week.
Packers seem to want the better grades.
but the warmed-up and common kinds are
neglected, as they come In competition with
the westerns.
The supply of cows has been very large
all the week, not only here, but at other
points as well, so that the tendency ef
prices hud been downward and the decline
for the week amounts to from 36c to 60c.
Some of the strictly choice kinds are, per
haps, not over 2s?" lower, but there are so
few of those coming that not much can be
toia snout mem. ine medium ciasa ot
cows have suffered the worst, but the gen
eral market la best described by calling it
S6Ji60e lower.
Bulls and slags nave, or course, felt the
effects of the decline on cow stuff, but there
hsvs been so few veals offered that there
has not been much change on them.
A heavy proportion ot the receipts all the
week consisted of stockers and feeders, and
the quality was nothing to brag of. There
were none too many of ths good to choice
kinds to meet the demand, and such kinds
are very little, tf any, lower than they
were a week ago. Prime, heavy, dehorned
feeders may be quoted steady. Common
cattle of all weights are safely 26c lower
and common yearlings are almost unsala
ble. Prime yearlings, hough, have been
in pretty good demand. The decline In
prices haa naturally stimulated the demand
from the country, and a good many cattle
nave been going out all the week, but still
there are a pile of cattle still In specu
lators handa.
The moat of the western beef steers that
have been coming of late have been rather
inferior in quality.
Good cattle have sold well most all ths
weeg snd "rices may be quoted fully steady
with tne close of laat week. The common
to fair cattle, though, are a little lower, aa
there have been so many of that class
offered that packers have had sn oppor
tunity to pound the market. Range cows
have broke In bad shape and may be quoted
3615 40c lower than a week ago. It now
lanes a cnoice ouncn to oring over w, ana
the top for the week was $4. Good west
ern feeders are steady to a little lower, but
the general run of stockers and feeders are
fully 26c lower. Representative sales
HOGS There was another light run of
hogs hers today, and as the local demand
was In good shape the market opened fairly
active and ateady to strong. The bulk of
the salea went from 37.30 to $7.35, and a few
choice loads went above that figure. As
there were onlv about 37 loads on sale It
was not long before practically everything
waa disposed of. As the average was a
shsde higher than yestsrday, the week
closed with prices lust about where they
were on Monday, or only a shade lower
than a week ago On Tuesday and Wednes
day the market broke In bad shape, but the
light recelpta since that time have given
prices an opportunity to recover.
The receipts for the year to date now
ahow for the first time this year a decrease
as compared with the corresponding- week
of last year. Sn far the decrease amounts
to 11,773 head.

SHEEP A few cars of ewes arrived this
morning, but. as is spt to be the esse on
Saturday, packers did not take hold with
much life. For the week recelnts have
been libetral. a good gain having been made
both over last week and the corresponding
weeg ot last year.
Although receipts have been liberal, the
supply of fat stuff has been comparatively
llsht and the market on the better arades
of fat sheep may safely be quoted steady.
Fat lamba of good quality are. If any
thing, strong. The commoner grades of
killers, though, are alow and weak.
The feeder market has taken a tumble.
The strictly choice offerlnit neva sold very
little lower, but only a few nf that descrip
tion arrived, the great bulk of the receipts
being common to fair In oualltv That
class of feeders have sold easily 25c lower
than a ww. ago and old ewes have de
