CONDITION OFOMAHA'STRADE
olnme of Barinen for Last Month Broke
All Previous Records for AugUBt.
PROSPECTS FOR SEPTEMBER ALSO BRIGHT
fa-Ice la Mnrh the Sums Kotchea Tbr
Were a Week Ago, Although There
Slav Urea Several Chtilti
- Worth? of Notice,
Omaha Jobber and manufacturer report
Weir trade fur August an having broKen all
previous records lor that muntn. 'i'lure
were more merchants in tne city tnan
ever before and their order were mure
liberal tnan uaual. Traveling men aiau
met with better success on the road than
anticipated, iu that taking the situation
aa a whole no one t-eerrui to have any cum
plaints to offer. Not only that, but Bi'p
.tember la atarting out In very encourag
ing manner and unless something happens
to materially change the situation Jobber
are cuntldent that tins month wil also
make a good showing. Retailers eeem to
have more confidence than usual In future
business and (or that reason are buying
heavier and a better class of goods than
Uiey did a year ago.
t Una encouraging leature to Omaha busi
ness men is tne large number of new cus
tomers who have been on the market with n
the last tew weeks. They consider thai a
food evidence ot the fact that Omaha a
reputation aa a Jobbing center ia Improv
ing each year and that merchants in the
territory tributary to Omaha ure aware
f the fact that they cannot afford to go
laewhere for their stocks.
. There have been about the usual number
of market changes during the wiiek under
review. The tone to the general market,
.however, la good and lirm and all Indica
tions point to good healthy conditions for
ome time to come.
Collections aro reported aa being In very
Satisfactory condition for thla time of the
year.
Sugar I' unhanged, bat Very Firm.
Wholesale grocers report the sugar mar
ket In Just about the same position it waa
week ago, no change having taken piace
on either law or reaned grades. The de
mand, though, still continues very heavy
and there la an upward tendency on all
grades.
In the line of canned goods salmon has
been attracting a good deal of attention
owing to the tact that opening prices on
tho new pack of Buckeye are luvjuoc higher
than waa generally anticipated. The lm-
rresslon among Jobbers seems to be that
hese prices are higher than the condition
of the market would justify, though per
haps not higher than would be Justified by
the cost of packing.
California canneries have very largely
withdrawn from the market on canned
fruits, offering only here and there a very
mall part of the full line. Teaches and
pears, where offered, are held from 6 to
Si cents per doien above the opening
prices.
The market on future tomatoes remains
very firm at the list quotations, as discour
aging reports are received regarding the
crop. The condition of the sweet corn crop
ia also very unsatisfactory and prices Arm.
Opening prices were made last week on
new, looae, Muscatel raislna by the Cali
fornia packers and It Is found that prices
are about 1"4 cents per pound higher than
the same grades were quoted a year ago.
The result la that the Jobbing trade la very
alow to take hold and so far as known
very few orders have been confirmed. Job
bers say that It remains to be peen how.
cloaelv the association controls the acre
age. No prices have yet been made on
Seeded raisins and present Indications are
that they will range IWitKa higher than
last season. Higher prices are also ex
pected on all grades of London layers.
The market on dried peaches and apricots
till continues very firm at the last ad
vance. It looks; however, aa though rasp
berries had reached the bottom, and It Is
thought that any further change will be in
.the direction of higher prices.
Dry Goods Trade Very Active.
Omaha dry goods jobbers have a very
favorable word to say regarding fall trade
up to the present time. During the month
pf August they sold more goods than ever
before and at the present time September
promises to do about as welt. The de
mand from the country through traveling
salesmen Is particularly good for this sea
son of the year and, taking! that together
with the house trade, makes the total vol
ume heavier than anticipated.
Several lines of fall goods are beginning
to get scarce and,-as predicted early In
the season, through these columns. It Is not
Dow so much a question of values as of
delivery.' I'oDular lines of brown cottons
are well sold up and many mills have shut
down. Manufacturers are refusing to take
orders for ten and twelve-ounce Canton
Jlannels, and the worst of it Is that prices
or the new crop of cotton for the early
months Is upward of 10 cents. That be
ing the case, those well posted on market
conditions say that retailers need not be
afraid to supply their wants at present
Drlcea.
There have been no quotable changes In
the market during the week under review
excepting an advance of "4 of a cent on
American mournings and gray prints and
of H a cent on American B and C lndlgoes.
Hardware Active and Strong;.
Hardware Jobbers report all fall lines as
moving out very freely. Bo far the de
mand has been heavier than It wus a year
ago and present Indications are that trade
will continue brisk throughout the season.
The demand Is not confined to any particu
lar line, but is general tor ail seasonable
goods.
The market is In a good healthy conill
tlon and the tendency of prices la upward
rather than downward. Shot for example
has advanced 10 cents per bag owing to a
stronger lead market. The market on tin
plate Is quoted strong with stocks very
light. Ulaas Is nrm with provpects raor
able for higher prices. Turpentine ia sell
ing at the highest prices that have pre'
vailed for some time. There la alao I
stronger market for Unseed oil, though a
very material advance la not being anticl
pated. The market on rope, however, lias
' eaaed off Vic per pound and la selling readily
at the decline. Practically all other staple
lines are selling In about the same notches
thoy were a week ago and indications are
considered favorable for a continued
await hy market for some time to come.
Oat After Spring- Business.
Leather goods Jobbers are now preparing
to start the campaign for advance oiders
for spring, goods. Some saUsmen have al
ready started and others will have their
samples In shape within the next few days.
iney all reel confident or doing a good bust
uess from the start, us merchants are net
ting accustomed to placing their orders
early and as a result more, orders are taken
acn year on tne nrat trip tnan it waa dob
slble to take the previous year. Prices for
spring lines are very firm and some classes
of goods are a little higher than they were a
year ago. mini in position to know Bay,
however, that there Is no prospect ot any
lower quotations and that merchants will
be aafe In buying at present prices. There
will be quite a few tan tthoes sold this year
and most of the traveling men will carry
samples or tnose lines.
So far aa immediate business is concerned
Jobber have no comnlatuta to offer.
good many buyers arrived on the marke
last week and w hi 1m thrt hulk tf ihe full
business has boen placed still a good many
vuycrs are expected tnia coming week.
Rubber Clothing; Belling; Well.
There Is very little doing In rubber foot
Wear and orobablv will nut Km nnill mr
chants begin to move the stock they have
already purchased. There Is, however, a
verv brisk demand for all kind of rubber
clothing and In fact manufacturers In many
lines are far behind with their ordera and
aie holding their good at firmer prices
than were asked a short time ki, ,m
with local houses, however, are very com
plete and no change iu prices Is contemplated-
Some of the Omaha Jobber have
recently boen making extensive Improve
ment In their house and have enlarged
their storage rooms, sample rooms and Im
proved their facilities for handling goods,
so they are In better position than ever be
fore to handle the trade In the territory
- tributary to Omuha. The stocks now In
the hands of local Jobber are the heaviest
and moat ' complete that have ever been
carried in Omaha.

HOGS There was not a heavy run of

opened 6'al0c higher than yesterday's gen

very brisk as packers did not like to pay

quite an extent. The bulk of the arly ar

cipally due, however, to absorptions of
money from the banks by the subtreasury,
in consequence of ftsoal operations, pay
ments through the banks for customs and
for transfers of internal revenue col
lections from western depositories, through
their New York correspondents being
greatly in excess of current disbursements
by the treasury. The decrease In specie
was S2,zel,soo, and In legal tenaers i,on.-w,
making the total loss of cash $3,879,100.
which amount, it may be observed, closely
corresponds with the $3,585,200 loss to the

$4Wi,150, through a decrease of $1,992,600 in

The statement failed to balance by $579,200,
this being the difference between the sum
of the loss of cash less the Increase of

The above noted expansion In the loan

MONEY FOR ST. LOUIS BANKS
Secretary of the Treasury Designates
Five In Whleh Deposits
Are to Be Made.
CHICAGO, Sept. 6.-8ecretry Fhsw was
In Chicago today on his way to Teadwood,
S. P.. to attend the meeting of the Ameri
can Mining congress. '
It Is understood that he had taken ac
tion to relieve the St. Louis banks from
the strain Incident to expenditures on ac
count of the Louisiana Purchase exposition.
Asked as to what action he had taken, Sec-
accepted a copartnership Interest, in the
exposition. At least, it has appropriated
$t.ono.0o( to aid the exposition. This la
available only to meet the current expendi
tures. To relieve the present situation I have
arranged to deposit $2,600,000 In the banks
of St. Louis. Thla would he to no ad
vantage to the banks If they were com
pelled to purchase government bonds as
security therefor. They have tried to bor
row the bonds, but they are not available.
In order to assist the banks such securi
ties aa the banks can furnleh must be ac
cepted. The banks can furnish such se
curities as the legislature of New York has
approved for aavlnga banks, and I have
agreed to accept the aame as security for
the $2,600,000 at 60 per cent of their par
value.
In other words, the bunks will deposit
$5,000,000 of state and municipal bonds, such
aa New York approves as security for
money belonging to widows and orphana.
And upon tills $5,000,000 the srovernment will
deposit $2,500,000. This, however. Is intended
as a temporary loan and will be gradually
recalled as the S5.ooo.000 appropriated Is ex

The detailed prospectus of The Twentieth Century Farmef
for the year 1903-4 will be issued shortly, but in the interval Ita
publishers desire to announce that the steady improvement,
shown in that publication from its inception will be still more
marked in the coming twelve months, keeping fully abreast with
the rapidly expanding subscription list and the regularly increas
ing advertising patronage. The Twentieth Century Farmer has
forged to the front as the most up-to-date- and popular agricul
tural weekly in the country, typical in every feature of the push
and enterprise of the western farmer. It will app?al to every
member of the farmer's family and to every one interested in
rural pursuits with special emphasis on the great' stock raising
industry. None of the other departments of agriculture, how
ever, are neglected and the whole tone of the paper is directed
toward broadening and uplifting life and work on the farm. Tho
big state fairs are now coming on. The Twentieth Century Farmer
will be represented at each of them by a competent staff and will
review in successive issues the progress reflected in the exhibits.
Those who are not familiar with the paper should write for
sample copies, and advertising rates. No one interest'edin west
ern agriculture can afford to go without reading The Twentieth
Century Fanner from, week to week and no one who wants to
reach the most' intelligent members of the farming communities
of Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, South Dakota, Wyoming,
Colorado and adjoining states can afford not to use its advertis
ing columns.
