"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

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

eavier ther. than u ha been thla fall.
raveling men tor a ntimner oi nouses are

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.

The butter market has been very firm sll

falling. 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

force for several years. One cause for
the strength to the butter market Is doubt

margarine. In September of l'l mani
factnrers made 7&.M fiftv-pound tubs, while
during September of Wi tnf. make onlv

It would require nearly 2.io.io pounds more
of butter to supply the demand during Sep.

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.

NEW YORK STOCKS AM) BONDS
Etta Bankers Caanot Well Esplala
the Present iksirlsg.
NEW YORK. 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.
Bonds have shared to a degree In the de.
presalon of stocks. United 8tates old 4s snd

CATTLE There were a few cattle here
today, but most of them were not offered
for sale, so that a test or the market was
not made. 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

HOGS There was only a small run of
hoas in right this morning, but In spile
of that fact the tendency of prices con
tinued downward. At this point tne break
amounted to nearly a dime. The bulk o
the sales went from $6.90 to $7.00 and as
high as $7.07 was Paid. There was no
particular change In the market from start
to nnlsh snd. as the offerlncs were llahL
practically everything was disposed of In
good season.
The supply of hogs for the week la not
m ich different from last week, but ss com
Dared with the corresponding period
last year there la another decrease. Fo
the yesr to dste the falling off amounta
to annul zi.uai nean. 1 ne tendency o
prlcea has been decidedly downward eve
alnce Monday and as compared with the
rinse of last week tne market la l-TH''
lower. This decline carries the market to
the lowest point reached since August.

SHEEP This ha been an eventful wee
In tha sheep market, ss on Monday th
largest number of head arrived ainca th
yard were opened, and the supply for
the week has also broken all previous rec
ords. As will be seen from tne taoi anov
over luO.OOo have arrived this week, whll
the rirevlous high mark was M.821. wntc
arrived during the week ending October 31
in hoite of this enormous run tn
market on good stuff hss held up In very
satisfactory manner, whirh Is taken as an
indication of the liberal demand at thl
oolnt.
There were no fresh arrivals of shee
and lamb today, so that a test of th
market wss not msde. As 1 ompared wit
the close of last week the market on fa
sheep and lambs of deslrsble quality I
steady to strong and active. The snippl
has been none loo great to meet the de
mand. but, on th contrary, pac kers could
not get enough a good share of the wee
to All their orders, as the bulk of the
receipts were feeders. The common kind
of killers were not very active. bJt stl
they sre also stesdy for the week
lbs big end uf the receipts all b week
consisted of feeders and the ntialHy was
sr from being choice. The strictly good
o choice feder wethers and yearlings and
