J"he business situation Id Omaha and
tributary territory continue very satisfac
tory to all concnnxl Tnari star, mm-a
merchants In the city last week buying
their fall line than were expected, and as
av reault Jobbers have a good word to say
regarding the condition of trade. Manu
facturer. aUo report the demand for their
lines of goods aa being fully up to their
expectation. Local retailers have been en
Joying a brink demand In early fall lines
and are preparing fur a big rush of busl
ines during the Ak-6ar-Ben festivities.
Taking the altuatlon aa a whole, no one
apparently has any cause for complaint re
garding the amount of business they are
ooing. The outlook for the future Is also
considered Ver encouraging, for, unless
there Is a severe frost In the near future,
there will be a fair corn crop, which means
continued prosperity for some time to come.
Merchants have been buying very freely
during the last week or tan daya, whlcn
would Indicate that they are not at all
alarmed over future prospects.
Prices on staple lines have not fluctu
ated to any great extent during the week
under review and In fact there have been
fewer changes of Importance than usual.
The feeling seems to, be firm all along the
line, with Indications favorable for healthy
markets for some time to come.
agar Market Firm.
t Wholesale grocers report the demand for
their line of gooda aa being very brisk and
trade last week was considerably heavier
than It waa the week before. Prices have
fluctuated very little since the last report,
but most of the changes that have taken
place hava been In the direction of higher
prtoea..
. The sugar market is In the same position
It waa a week ago so far as quotations are
concerned. Refiners report, however, an
tnereaaed demand, no concessions and raws
firmer, indications now are that owing to
tae lateness of the season the demand for
augar will continue heavy until the mid
dle or latter part of October.
, The cheese market Is higher than It waa
m week ago owing largely to a heavy ex
port demand. It la claimed that owing to
continued drouths In England the export
demand for cheese In this country will be
much heavier than last year and conse
quently higher prices are being anticipated.
Beans have advanced IS to 20 cents per
bushel, owing to the continual wet and cold
weather throughout Michigan and Wiscon
sin. The claim Is made that the crop his
been damaged 60 to 60 per cent.
In the dried fruit line prlcea are gen
erally In a very strong position and the
opinion among Jobbera Is that present
prices will be well maintained. The report
Is that wholesalers are not taking hold very
freely of raisins at the prices reaently an
nounced, but as packers claim to control
about 85 per cent of the acreage It Is
thought that It Is only a question of time
before Jobbers will have to fall in line and
take the goods at the prlcea at which they
are being offered.
In canned gooda, future corn is coming
In for a full share of the attention owing
to the uncertainty of the pack. It la
claimed that with the moat favorable
weather condltiona for the remainder of the
r month a full pack cannot be made.
Brisk Movesseat at Dry Goods.
There were, fully a many dry gooda mer
chants In the city laat week aa arrived
the week before and their orders were
very liberal. It la the orlnlon of whole
salers that trade will continue heavy on
fall Unas until fter the Ak-S&r-Ben fes
tivities. A large number of merchants
have expressed their intention oi nuiuing
off until that time and as a result Jobbers
are making preparations for having a.
laure force on nana at mat time iu at
tend, to the wains of their oustomere.
If the demand for fall roods during the
next three or fonr weeks comes up to the
expectations of Jobbers they say that they
will break laat year's good record, for the
volume of goods sold, by a wide margin.
The dry goods market la In very much
the same position It waa a week ago. Prices
are firm all along the line and the same
aa has been stated through these columns
previous to this time Jobbers say there Is
very reason for believing that values wjll
be well maintained almost inoenminj.
Preparations are now going forward pre
liminary to starting traveling salesmen out
with certain lines of spring goods. Every
year the tendency Is to start out with the
new lines earlier than the year preceding
and this season seems to be no exception to
the general rule. The general lmpressloa
Is that merchant are In a hopeful frame
of mind owing to the fact that they have
been making meney and for that reason
will be ready to place their orders in
good season. '
net to Short ob Hardware.
"Local hardware men report their stocks
of gooda more complete than they have
been for many mouths past. It seems that
a large number of the manufacturers who
have been so far behind with their orders
are beginning to catch up and it looks now
aa though the supply would come nearer
(nesting the requirements of the trade in
the future than haa been the case In the
twist. The demand for aU seasonable lint's
Is now very liberal and stoves, stove-
t-Am aim'anlnMB ellmwa flnttl SCUtXlaB
and ali klnda of winter gooda are being
hipped to the couiay as rapidly aa pos
sible. The demand in fact la better than
It waa a year ago at thia time and Jobbers
look for a briait trade throughout the
winter season. About the only thing they
have to complain about Is the slow move
ment of freight from the east. . Most of
the shipments they aay are on' Use road
about twice as long aa they should be
under ordinary condltiona ' .
Bo far aa the hardware market Is con
cerned there la nothing new to report. All
staple lines are selling In practically the
same notches they were a week ago, and
the general -market Is in a good healthy
condition, with no prospect ot any Impor
tant changes In the near future.
In the farm implement line the wagon
trade la -still rather disappointing for thia
time of year. Jobbera are In hopes. how
Over, that there will be a big rush for them
as soon as the corn crop Is assured. They
are making preparations for doing an im
mense amount of business in a short length
of time, and if frost holds on they are con
fident that tney win yet an a very satis
factory business. Other lines of fall goods
are moving la a very satisfactory manner.
Robber Clotklas la Good Poaaaad,
This has been an exceptionally prosper
ous season for Jobbera of rubber clothing.
Kaln coata, mackintoshes, slackers and ail
that claea of goods have been selling faster
than the manufacturers could turn them
cut. The fact that the so-called rain coat
Is being worn to s large extent as a fail
overcoat has helped to swell the sale of
them to a very great extent. Omaha Job
bers aay that they have large stocks of
all these gooda on hand, and that unlesa
the demand should go far ahead of their
expectations they will be able to take care
of the trade In good shape.
Tli ere la very little doing In rubber foot
wear, and net much Is expected until mer
chants unload some of the goods tbey have
already purchased. Occasionally a mer
chant Is found who did nut anticipate bis
wants before the advance In prices went
Into effect laat summer, but those cases are
rare.
In the leather goods lino business la as
good as could bo expected. Traveling men
are picking up a good many ordera on the
road and quite a few merchants have been
In the city during the laat few days buy
ing stocks. Several good opening stocks
have recently been sold which have helped
materially to swell tlto volume of busi
es. ,
( Fralts aad Vegetables.
There is no longer shuch prospect of free
stone peaches cuing much below 1100 per
box at wholesale and aa a result there hi-a
been a big demand for that class of fruit
during Ihe laat few days for canning pur
poses. The general Impression waa that
prices wouldT be cheaper when Colorado
and 1'tah fruit arrived, but such haa not
been the case to date, as the dt-msnd ha
been sufficient to take all th stork offered
at right around tl uu per box. Clings are
quoted aa low as Mc.
Home-grown grapes are In good supply
and are selling freely at I2c per barket.
Applea are arriving more freely thai they
have been and are worth 2 60.j3.W per
barrel. The prices ruling on the various
other lines of fruit now In season will be
found In another column.
Eggs have not been so plentiful ol lstc
onu prices consequently have nrtnt-d up con
siderably. Poultry, on the other hand, has
tieen In good receipt and prt-e have t-aiwid
off a little. That has been particularly true
of soring chic kens, which are now down to
Ii'VjUc. IlutlT has been selling In stout
the same notches all the wsta, packlrg
stock being quoted at 1IHg13c

CHICAGO, 111., Sept. U Grain prices
were better, wheat showing considerable
strength, closing S'SlkC higher for Decem
ber, oats showing a net gain of VV:.
while corn closed c higher.
Heavy rains throughout the northwest
and in Manitoba was the influence in
wheat, causing a strong early tone. Decem
ber opened Vic higher, at 8Ho to al-Vc,
and after a temporary dip to Slc on sell
ing by local traders, with profits continued
to advance under covering by shorts and
buying by houses with southwest connec
tions, to 82c. Oflerings were very light and
only a marked absence of outside business
prevented a'grcater gain In values. Trad
ing waa largely of a professional nature,
with local traders Inclined to take profits
on the bulges. Some selling of this nature
caused the market to ease oft Just before
the close, final figures being a shade lower,
BlVotCc, a gain of Sfic Clearings ot
wheat and flour were equal to 270,0uo bu.
primary receipts l.oso.OOu against 1.1(19,000
bu. a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re
ported receipts of 761 cars, which with local
receipts of 141 cars 6 of contract grade
made a total for the three points of 802
cars, against 062 cars a year ago.
Corn was firm, with small offerings and
a good demand from short holders who cov
ered freely on the prospects of frost west.
Trade waa rather quiet, however, commis
sion houses doing the grater part. Iecem
ber opened about steadv at yesterday's
close, sold up to 60tyc and closed firm at
SO5 with a gain of (ffe. Local receipts
were 6K1 cara, with 4 of contract grade.
There was little feature In the trading
In oats. The market ahowed strength early
with othr grains, but there was free soil
ing on the advance and a portllon of the
gain was lost. The close was steady at a
gain for December of ,c at "S'3c. after
ranging betweeen SBSgC and 37c. Local re
ceipts were 166 cars.
There was weakness In provisions at the
start, due to an easier hog market at the
yards, but on support given by the packers,
the feeling became strong -and prices ad
vanced, reacting later on profit taking.
October pork was unchanged, at 113.fi:'i4
with lard 2c higher at $i.32U and ribs
down Ic Bt $867.
Estimated receplts for Monday: Wheat,
140 cars; corn. 660 cars; oats, 180 cars; hogs,
$6,000 head.

KEW YORK. Sent. 11 Trading during
today's brief session of the stock market
waa so light and otherwise commonplace as
to call for little comment. Only Slight re
sponse waa made to London, which re
ported better prlcea for our securities, es
pecially the Partnca and Grangers, the
features over there being Union PselflC and
L Paul. Even the steel stocks were easier
abroad. The attendance of brokers on the
exchsnre waa verv small and from the out
set here the market was narrow and Irreg
ular, early quotations snowing advances
and declines In about equal proportions
St. Paul alone exhibited firmness at the
opening, although an easier tone was shown
ny such issues aa Pennsylvania and Read
ing. The first transaction In steel common
was at a alight advance, which was sonn
lost, while the preferred was altogether
neglected. Atchison, the feature of the
week as to sctlvlty snd etrenrth. opened
down snd sustained a material net loss.
Before the end of the first hour the market
became so listless thst It could scarcely be
said to have either tendency or tone, Brook
lyn Transit declined 2N in spite of a mod
erate increase of net Income over the pre
vious year. The list closed weak. Some
comfort wsn derived from the fact that the
excess reserves of the associated banks. In
the face of a further drain upon their hold
ings, Is well over $15,000,000 ss compared
with about $700.(io this time last year.
Trading In bonds during the week dis
played little feature of Interest and fluctua
tions followed closely the course of the
stock market. Business was at low ebb
and but little demand prevailed for the
gilt-edged mortgages. United States new
4s advanced of 1 per cent and the 2d H
per cent, as compared with the closing call
of last week.

CATTLE There, wera a few cara of kqiiu
in the yards this morning but not enough
to make a teat of the market For the
week receipts show an increase over last
week ot about 8,000 head and as compared
with ths same week of last year there ts
a decrease of about B,00 head. The mar
ket on fat stuff has been in good shape but
itrucia nave sutierea quite a decline.
There has been a fair anrfnkllnc nt
fed steers In the receipts all the week but
the demand has been fully equal to the.
occasion snd each day a offerings . were
cleaned up In good shape. Prices have,
shown very little change from day to day J
and as compared with the close of last '
week all desirable grades may safely be
?uoted steady to strong and active. Short
ed atuff haa been more or less neglected.
owing in ma qi mat mat class comes In
competition with the western rangers, but
still even that kind of corn feds is steady
for the week. Good to choice corn fed
steers may be quoted from $i.B0 to $6.75 '
while something strictly fancy might bring
more than that. Fair to good cuttle sell
from $4.90 to $E.5o. while the short fed
kinds sell from $4.90 down.
The cow market has fluctuated back and
forth to some extent this week, but closing
prices are not more than a dime lower
than those In force at the close of lust
week. There have been no strictly choice
corn fed cows or heifers 011 sale this week
but It Is safe to quote good corn fed cows
from $3.76 to $4.60. The commoner class
of corn feds have to sell in sbout the same
notches with the westerns or trom $3.00 to
$3.50.
Corn fed bulls have been very scares but
good stuff would readily reach $4.00. The
bulk of the grass bulls coming sell from
$2.25 to $2.65 with a choice one occasionally
aa high as $2.75 or $2.80. Prices on all
klnda are about the same as they were a
wot; sv. cmj usivcb are also steaay for
the week, good stuff aellinar aa hiah a.
$0 00. "
The stocker snd feeder market advanced
sharply ths first of the week, but owing to
ui ik-k lusi country ouyers tailed to take
bold of the cattle at the higher prices
asked, the market baa taken a big tumble
and may safely be quoted ioliic lower
than the first of the week. At these re
duced prices the demand has been fairly
f;oodt ho that speculators have succeeded
n disposing of the bulk of the stuff they
bought earlier In the week.
Ths demand for western beef steers has
been In good shape all this week and good
stuff may be Quoted stronc and otnera
steady. The big bulk of the offerings, how
ever, nave oeeu ot inienor quality, Dut it
would be safe to quote good to choice
grades -from $4.00 to $4.60, fair to good from
$3.75 to $4.00 and commoner klnda from
$3.75 down. Range cows are not over a
dims lower than they were a week ago.
Canners sell largely from $2.00 to $2.25, fair
to good grades from 22.50 to 12 90 and rood
to choice from $3.00 to U 50. Western stuck.
'ers and feeders have been In good receipt
aa uie weea, out prices are idibjac lower
than last week, or 25fy33c lower than the
first of thia week. Lightweight cattle, and
especially those lacking In quality have
been the hardest to dlxpnse of and have
suffered the greatest decline. In fact, on
some days they have been almost unralable.
Heavy dehorned cattle ol good quality
havs suffered the least decline. It would
take something very choice, however, to
bring much over $3.76. while a good set of
feeders can be bought around $3.50, with
the commoner grades going from 13.26
down.
HOGS There was a fairly liberal run of
hogs here this morning and the market
opened just about a dime lower than yes
terday's general market. Packers did not
seem to take hold with much life and aa
a result the market was alow from start
to finish and It waa late before a clearanne
waa made. The fact that several trains
were late In arriving alao had a tendency
to delay the market The heavy hum nol'l
largely trom $6 46 to $5 55, medium weights
went from $5.55 to $5 06 and lightweights
sold from $5.66 to $5.80. There were no
hogs on sale today like those that brought
$4 00 yesterday, so the top price looks much
lower on paper.
For the week receipts show quite sn in
crease over the corresponding week of
last year, the gain amounting to about
14.800 head. As compared with last week,
however, there Is a slight decrease. The
decrease for the year to date la now prac
tically wiped out as will be aeen from the
table of receipts at the head of the column.
The general tendency of prices this week
haa been upward and closing prices are
about ttriOc higher than thoae st ths doss
of last week. Representative salea:

611EKP There were no fresh arrivals of
sheep and lambs here this morning, and for
the week Supplies have l-ecn rather limited,
aa there Is a decrease of nearly ,ft0 head
as compared with lust week and ss com
psred with the corresponding week of last
year there is a falling off of about 6,000 head
also.
The market for fat sheep has been In good
shape all the week and as compared wlih
the close of last week the market may be
quoted steadv to strong, with all desirable
grades In active demand. Fat lambs bow
ever, have suffered a decline of I5ii25c, m
there seemed to be more on sale than puck
ers needed for their Immediate require
ment. It would now take a choice bunch
to bring $4 75.
In spite of the fact that s large propor
tion of the offerings all the week consisted
of fredera the market ruled active snd
teady to strong on anything at all decent.
Fach day s offerings have been well t-nrcJ
for, so the market hns bcn very satisfac
tory to the selling Interests.

rather than run the risk of adverse climatic
conditions over Sunday. Buying of this
