MARKETS GENERALLY WELL MAINTAINED Tra-rellna; Men Ont After Spring Basl. aess and l Far Hate Met " walth l;ood Knrrru for So Early la the tear. "Trade with Omaha Jobber and msnu ' Hirers . not nearly an brisk last week c the week before, but thu. owing to t -i fart that with the end of carnival wwk ' - Tush of fall buying cm to a close, "re are, of course, quite a few mer- nta dropping In town, but nothing aa i npsred with the number that came dur I the tall festivities and previous to that ne. '1 raveling men Hre meeting with "1 suc-cers on the road Hnd according to i lr reports retailers' stocks are going to i ces at a rapid rate, and that there will i a decided Increase In lining in orders be t r. long. Jobber In all linei are well . a sod with the outcome of their fall i slnees and fay that II la the ucst they i ve ever experienced. They are, however, : aklng mill greater preparation" for . ring, aa they look for buying to be eavier ther. than u ha been thla fall. raveling men tor a ntimner oi nouses are -iresdy supplied with spring samploa and though It la early to be figuring on spring "in.tnec they are, nevertheless, taking i nerul order. That I particularly true of He salesmen In the far Went, where mer ' hanfa aa a clssa buy earlier than tney do in thl Immediate locality. There have been no very sensational market fluctuations during :ie lat week. The general situation la much the same a It was a week ago and price mi nearly nil line are firm. . Jt la to he noticed that the great majority of the chanat-s that have .taken place are In the direction of higher prices. Groceries Firm and Active. Th volume of business w!ih wholesale, grocer last week waa unusually heavy for thl time of year, an a good Increase over the corresponding period of last year la noted. Jobber are very bu-y tilling their future orders, which cover the entire line I of canned good. 'I he present demand, how- j ver, extend to all classc. of groceries and the feature of the tra.' seem to be the fact that the high gride good nre aelllng to better advantage than the cheaper line, which waa not the case not very long; ago. Nearly all line of groceries may be Quoted firm and active. In sugar there has been no change elnce last report In either raws or refined. The demand continues good for thl season of the year. The market on beans la very strong, prices now ranjlng from $2.7o to $3 per bushel, which Is the highest tiolnt reached In several years. Spot stocks, It is claimed, are very light. The cheese market la also In a strong Sosltlon and factories are now quoting ctober made goods for delivery the latter part of the month at prices ranging Co lc per pound over present market quotations. In the line of canned goods, corn and tomatoes continue to attract the moat at tention. It may be aald that the canning of tomatoes la practically over with so far as the west 1 concerned. Not only that, but It Is reported that but few of the can neries will have any surplus after filling preaent orders, while many of them will have to cut down ordera 20 to 30 per cent. In the east tomatoes are still coming In and with favorable conditions packing can continue for at least two weeks. It Is not possible, however, at thla time that they could secure more goods than needed and thone who are best posted think that even It prices would weaken a little an advance would aoon follow which would make the good worth more money than at the pres ent time. Corn has scored another advance aa can ners have added 6 cents per doxen to the prlcea that were asked ten daya ago. It la learned that speculators have made pur chases wherever they could find desirable lot at reasonable price and the market may be quoted strong with an advancing tendency. The demand for dried fruit continue verv good, but Jobbers find It a difficult matter to secure the better grades as fast aa the trade demands them. In fact, the entire line of dried fruits la selling better than anticipated. As a result of the active demand an advance haa taken 'place In fancy peaches, affecting both Muirs and Crawford. California flga have also ad vanced and they are now worth 1 cent per pound over opening prlcea. The first of the new crop of raisins arrived on the market last week and they will demand consid erable attention until the trade la supplied, which will take about two weeks. The quality Is reported good, but the slse rather small. The tea market continues very strong and Jobbers are freely predicting that consid erably higher prices will rule In the future. They rlslm that there will be a great aenr cltv of teaa before the year Is out. The crop has bexn seriously reduced by damag ing frosts and besides that practically every merchant in the country ts tow on tea They have been holding back on their or dera thinking that after January 1 teas would be cheaper because at that time the government war tax, amounting to 10 cent per pound, win be taken on. mere nave been ao many advancea. however, that the tax haa been practically all absorbed, ao that teaa will be little If any cheaper after January 1 than they nave been In the past. The coffee market la practically the aame aa It waa a week ago. The visible supply Is now put at 13.ono.OjO baaa. which la the largest ever known. Jt Is reported thatl repeated attempts have been made to corner the market, but have failed owing to the crop being far In excess of esti mate. The general belief, however, U that the market will go no lower than at the present time The soan market haa attracted consid erable attention the laat few day owing to a decline anecting all staple line or laun dry soap, which amounted to 40i60c per box. It la claimed that this decline does not reflect the true condition of the market as the Ingredient which enter Into the manufacture are a high as ever. The decline la rather due to the attempt of manufacturers to Increase their trade, par tlcularly on lines that have not been classed as staple lines in tnia community. Dry Good Not Bo Brisk After the Immense trade of carnival week local dry goods Jobbers found business little nulet laat week. Comparatively few buyer arrived on the market and their ordera. aa a rule, were .mall. Traveling men, however, picked up a good many sorting up orders on the road, and they look lor a rood trade of that character to set In before many weeks have passed Merchants out through the country are enjoying a brisk demand and aa a result their stocks are going to pieces at a rapid rate. Traveling men are also doing ex reptlonally well with their spring samples for so early In the year, and that being the ease, they feel more encouraged for the future than they were before. Jobber say that unless something happens to changu the altustlcn materially they will have an elegant winter and spring trade. ' No Change In Hardware. Since the lest decline in wire and nails there haa been no Important change In the hardware market. Jobbers still maintain that the weakness In those two line liull- rules nothing, for prices have been lowered for reasons beat known to the manufactur ers themselves. There haa been no change In the Iron and steel market that would cause the decline. The hardware market aa a whole la Just aa Arm as ever, and It may safely be said to be In a good, healthy condition. ' The demand from all sources continues of very satisfactory proportions and ea. annabla goods are movlt g out very freely. With a normal winter Jobbers confidently expect a very nice trade, Shipping Fall Rabhara, Rubber goods jobbers are atlll working over time shipping out their fall and winter rubbers. The duns ml so far has been un usually good, so that they are working their men over time to get tlielr order, tilled. Present Indications are favorable for a continued heavy demand unless ths winter should he eaoepil nlly mild. Th demand baa been heavy for both clothing and foot wear. leather gooda are also moving as freely aa could be expected at thla sea.cn of the year The enters are mostly small, but still occasionally an order of good propor tion cornea In from some belated pur--haser. Traveling men are out tfter spring iirders, and while they hav. not capture.! anv great numner. sun im uwm well for thl early In the year. ' Frail and I'malnee. The fruit market Is well supplied wl'h neaches and pears, but st II apple ami irange. and that class of goo.U are cnmtii. sr. net are now on the market and are eH f.ujt "I cent.

Dealer look for stl.l higher price In the near future, and In fact they ay they would not be surprised to see the h'gh est prices thl winter that have been In force for several years. One cause for the strength to the butter market Is doubt less found In the reduced make of oleo margarine. In September of l'l mani factnrers made 7&.M fiftv-pound tubs, while during September of Wi tnf. make onlv "mounted to 37. WO fifty-pound tubs. Pro vided the consumption remained stationery It would require nearly 2.io.io pounds more of butter to supply the demand during Sep. tember of 19"! than It did during the same month of last year. The egg market has been shout the same ll the month, but poultry has taken a big drop, as will be seen from the quotations.

Oct. 11. -The response of the stock market to a shock marked by a poor bank statement served as evidence of the large marginal holdings of stocks that must still remain in the market. The ner vousneas disclosed by the prospect of fur ther withdrawals of credits from the stock market by the banka could hardly be due to others than those holding atneka on margin with borrowed money. None of the best equipped financial authorities could pretend to explain the showing made by the banks. The shifting oflonns, due to the syndicate's operations, 'may be sup posed to have offset the large llouldatlnn In the stock market and thus account for the expanded loan account of the banks. But conjecture la at a loss to account for the disappearance of the expected gain of over 12. (,'. O10 in cash reserves, as a result of the receipts of foreign gold during the week. The small gain In e pet deposit also falls to "prove'1 with the chsnges in the loan and reserve Items. The state ment showed the standing of the surplus, with the exemption of reserve allowed against government deposits, ss well as without that exemption. But the present policy of the hanks of not encroaching upon the reserves against Kovernment de- fioslts has been so clearly shown as to eave little comfort for speculators In th hope of a rexort to that relief. There waa some large selling before the appearance of the bank statement, which was attrib uted to the sccount of a large operator, who was a seller at different tlmea during th week, but the selling st the last was quite iromiscuou. Including the putting out of short lines by professional traders. Ths assumption was general that further loan contraction by the banks Is to be ex pected. I Important liquidation of marginal ac counts haa been effected In the stock mar ket this week, with corresponding benatit to the resources of the banks svsllable for other mirpoBcs. The result has been a growing relaxation of the presaure upon stock, market oorrowera to sell stocks snd repay loans. 1 he question has come into fironilnence whether the forced liquidation s finally over for the season and the spec ulators short of the market have shpwn their fears that this may be true by cov ering their short contracts. the short covering has been an Important element in the recovery in prices, but observers hav profeeaud to tee evidence of buying by im portant Inside Interests ss -well. Notwith standing the important recuperation ac cornpitfhed by the banks they have per sistently refrained from extending their stock market loans and have Implied tlielr conviction that it Is the part of wisdom to conserve their resources for the large do. mand from the Interior which ts slill likely to be mde. The unchanged form in which last Saturday's bank statement was given out. counting government deposits with others as demanding the maintenance of reservea SKumsl thm. In spite of the per mission by the secretary of the treasury to release ilia reserves against government deposits, was accepted as notice from th Uanks that 110 loans would be extended to sloe k marke t borrowers. The Important Moulds lion nf the early part of the week followed. There Is good ground for the be lief that thla Included la if- holdings by some of the powerful pools and Individual operator who have striven to contest ths reaction ai-d revive the bull t'teculatloti. In addition to the relief of the money mar ket thus afforded no lets than tj.uucj.tiu of I elated gold arrlvlla have been made avail able to the New York' market, of this about tl.T'oiMi was of Australian gold tranaferrel by telegraph through the sub treasury from Han Francisco Immediately on lis arrival there, and the remainder waa made tip by parcel of gold from fciuros of lb lot uf South African told secured on rsssage by the Nstlonsl City bsnk. There nave been large payments on accotn.t of New York taxes during the week, and the deposit of the proceeds in the banks ha added to their resources. There have been some large syndicate transactions slso. In cluding the payment of a 50 per cent In stallment of nearlv ll."io.ooo on account of the Louisville A Nashville transfer and a i per cent call on subscriptions to the ship combine syndicate, calling for about 115. Oik.oki. preparation for these waa an un settling Influence on the money market, but the payments were presumably rede poslted In the banks. The banks, however, still refrained from relendlng In the stock market and the money stringency con tinued. When buying of storks was re- newed on the presumption that the In creased banking resources were to be made available for the stocg maraet. tne can loan rate would be run up to 16 per cent, which I considered prohibitive for stock speculation purposes. It Is evident that the liquidation has been held well In hand aid directed with a purpose to avoid all pos sible damage. The interests involved in the large speculative commitments in tne stock market In the control of the banks and trust companies. In the ownership of the large railroad svstem and In the great projecta of combination and their resulting crop or new securities, are no intimately related and so nearly Identical that this cautious and considerate policy Is easily understood. On this ground the relaxation of the pressure upon marginal holders might be Interpreted as designed to steady prlcea In preparation for further liquida tion, and to take advantage of the short sellers driven to cover by a rally In prices. Rneculstlve sentiment Is thi kent In un certainty, whether the necessary liquidation haa been accomplisiiea or wnetner it nas simply paused. Looking to the future there Is no further Important relief for the New York money market In sight until the In terior movement of currency shall turn again In favor of New York. Practically all of the gold reported engaged notn in Australia and across the Atlantic haa now arrived and Is In the reserves of the New York banks. Discounts have become easier at the foreign money centers, but the downward course of sterling exchange which resulted has been checked by the demand for remittance In payment of obli gations. The great foreign banks continue to lose gold and It Is estimated that the Bank of England Is about to take measures to make Its advanced discount rate effec tive In the open market and thus obstruct the onward movement of gold. The fine weather of the week has been favorable to the movement of grain, which has been de layed, and tne downward course or ,ew York exchange at Chicago denotes an In creasing pressure there for . currency, hut the forward movement of grain gives promise also of replenishing the supply of bills in the foreign exchange market. With the cessation of tne active pressure upon borrowers to liquidate there has been In creasing attention paid to the effects of the anthracite miners' strike sna tne varying phases of that contest have been reflected In price movements.

For the week receipts have been fairly liberal, but as compared with last week there Is quite a decrease. As compared with the corresponding week of last year mere is a Dig increase, wnicn makes the increase for the year to date over 125,000 head. There have been very few cornred steers on the market tnis week, out it is saro to call the better grades fully steady as compared with the close of last week. The common and warmed-up cattle nave soia rather unevenly, as packers seem to prefer the westerns to that class of corn feds. The market, though, on the common kinds. could not be quoted much of any lower. The cow market nas Been in pretty good shape most all the week. On Monday and Tuesday mere was a snarp aavance, diu since that time a little of the advance has been lost. The week, though, shows an advance of fully 25c, and on the choicer grades sales have been made that looked fu Iv 35c higher, mere nas reen a goou active market all the week and prices are nearly back to where they were two weeks ago. Hulls, veal calves ana stags nave also sold fully as well as they did last week. The common Kinds nave oeen negieeieo, out desirable grades have sold at satisfactory prices. 1 ne weea openea wnn siocaers ana reea ers active, and by Tuesday an advance of l&ip2&c had taken place. That, however, proved to be the high day or tne. week, as since that time the demand from the conn try haa not been up to expectations. The good cattle are probably about steady with the close 01 last ween, out tne common to medium grades are unevenly lower. It has been even harder this week than last to dispose ot the cattle lacking quality, and good many saiea late tnis wee were made that looked 15c, and In extreme caaes 25c. lower than the sgme kinds sold for last week. Western beef steera of good quality have been In active demand all th week, and aa the supply has been limited, prices have Improved lac to 20c, ana in extreme cases a quarter. Commoner grades have not shown that much advance, but still even those sre h ther than they were a week ago Western cows are also 2fa35c higher for the week, the greatest advance having taken place on the better grades. Stockers and feeders advanced 15a2.5c the first of the week, but all that gain has been lost and more, too. The strictly good rattle are not much lower than last week, but the common kinds are fully l&e lower, and In some cases 25c lower. Representative sales C. F.
