Prices Move Slnitatshly on Last Day
of the Week.
NEW YORK, Sept. 7. The speculative
movement In stocks was disposed to mark '.
time today. Prices moved sluggishly and '
fluctuated frequently. The holiday In
London was partly responsible for the dull
ness. The financial district wns inclined
to wait the outcome of the New York City ,
bond sale for clearer light on some of the'
conditions which are counted upon to sus
tain the Improvement which has taken
place In the securities market. Rids for :
the 84.oOiW.l Issue of 4 per cent New York .
City bonds are to be opened Tuesday. Some. :
thing of the heavy tone of the day's market
was due to the natural tendency to realize
profits on the considerable advance of the
last few days. The' olllclal denial of yes
terday's rumors of an Intended distribution
of a 25 per cent extra dividend to Northern
Paclllc stockholders dashed some of yester
day's speculative enthusiasm, as these
rumors were 1 naln' Incentive to the move,
ment. The bank statement also failed to
show the expected gain In cash, the de
creese of $1.42n.f)0 contrasting with pre
liminary estimates of a gain of fS.OPO.O'iO.
Loans also showed a small expansion, the
net result betne to reduce the surplus re
serve to $7,372,350.
Meantime it became known that deposits
of treasury funds have been made with'
aome of the hanks In 'the financial district
and thst more are In prospect next week.
The contrast with the bank statement of
this week a year ncto is striking. In that
Week, notwithstanding a loan contraction
of nearly $12.o.i,r the surplus disappeared
before a shrinkage In that Item of $9,447,325
to a deficit of fi.577.92i, the cash holdings
having been deleted (16.503.100 by the I
week's operations, durlne which money on
coll had loaned at 40 per cent. I
Today's heavy tone of stocks here was .
unrelieved to the close of the sesslnn.
Uonds were 1 steady Total sales, par
value. $476.00. I nlted States 4s have do
cllned 1 per cent on call during the week.

TRADE CONDITIONS IN OMAHA
Early September Keeps Up Merry
Face of Business.
DEMAND FOR FALL IS EXCELLENT
oethera Plantera Deride on a Kll-teen-Ceat
llasls for Cotton
axtar Adsaacrs Ten Points
Coffee Roles Steady.
The first week of September was as unl
fonnlv aatisfactorv to the Omaha Jobbers
as have been all the weeks of the summer
months. The trade was larae and the
promise Is good for the remainder of the
year.
Ooiii Is ripening fast and the farmers are
happy In their prosperity. They are pur
chasing new high grade implements and
machinery, and wl en they do this, one
may le sure tlu entire country is prosper
ous. The Implement men of Omaha ami
Council Uluffs have
had a record-brraR-
Inc year so far and the fall trade Is ex
cellent. Manv of the Implement bouses
have had to secure additional warehouse
room and the John Deere Plow company
Is said to be planning s new building eight
stoilts In height an I l.Ux.'tvi feet. The Rock
Island Plow company has leased more com
modious quarters.
Travelers for the shoe houses who started
out in the field last week are making
highly encouraging reports as to conditions
In their territory. For a year or two the
retailers have been cautious about buying
Rttd they are not overstocked. Summer
goods have been pretty well denned up and
the retailers nre Inclined to lay In liberal
supplies of fall ami winter poods. An ex
cellent business Is reported both by local
manufacturers and Jobbers of leathers and
rubber goods. Oeneral renewed activity In
the leather usiness Is reported. Roth east
ern and western miinufsi'turers have been
placing orders for supplies and the move
ment tends toward firm prices.
Cotton pt Flften Cents.
Notwithstanding more favorable reports
from the southern cotton fields. It Is re
ported that tlie planters have decided upon
a 15-ccnt basis. This pooling and the
steady demand for the raw material make
It reasonably certain thut there will bo
no decline in prices on manufactured goods
within a year. Every line of manufactured
goods Is strong and prices are higher than
they have heen since the close of the war.
There Is a scarcity in knit goods. Mills
are sold up months In advance and the
supply of Imported goods on hnnd Is
smaller than for years. The upward trend
In silk prlees continues and prices are the
highest that the trade has seen In more
than a decade. With raw silk prices In
creasing at the rate of 20 cents a pound
a week. It will not lie surprising If raw
silk touches the $7 a p-iund mark. Some
of the finer grades are now bringing $0.50
a pound, and with the reports of damage
to the Japanese autumn cocoon crop th
Yokohama market is excited and steadily
advancing, with holders refusing to sell,
even at the highest prlci 9 named.
Despite the fact that California has the
largest crop of raisins on record, an ad-
vance was made on seeded raisins last
week. The prune crop Is not as
large as estimated a few weeks nfto. The
Oecian currant crop Is In better condition
than reported recently.
j In tanned fruits, offerings In nil classes
I of gallons ar" limited. flellon apples show
! an upwnrd tendency. Peaches are scarce
and firm.
Wight In the tomato districts has stimu
lated the tomato niarket and prlees aro
going up. According to present indications,
prices will he very hli.'h a month from now.
Conditions in the pea realons are favor
able to an average crop. Discouraging re
port! come from Maine on the corn
situation, but in Iowa. Nebraska. Min
nesota and Missouri the pack probably
will be nearly as larpe as last year. Prices
are about 50 per cent higher than last
spring.
Reports from the fruit regions where
packing usually occurs are disconcerting
to the trade. Eastern crops are pretty cer
tain to be virtually a complete failure from
the canoer's standpoint, w hile the west Is
not encouraging. The flurry In California
a few weeks ami which forced the canning
of peaches which would otherwise have
heen dried, has added some mailable stock
to the market supply, but the prices ore
still prohibitive.
In dried fruits the feeling Is decidedly
easier and trailing, which wns temporarily
suspended pending the settlement of the
sulphur question, has again commenced
In something like n healthy volume. Since
the Jobbers have come to believe that Fee
retary Wilson and his colleagues are not
as dangerous ns feared, thev are more
willing to stand back of their goods, and
the retailer la beginning to sit up and take
notice.
The salmon demand la still active, hut the
prospect for full deliveries Is eo question
able that lubbers are not pushing the
goods at present. Thev ere more Inter
ested In find'ng out what percentage of
their own orders will be delivered to them
than they are In disposing of their goods
to the retullers.
Prices Made on Vl'alnnt.
The California fig crop Is expected to

PICTURE POSTCARD INDUSTRY
A Fashion Which May Make the Pest,
office Department Self
Suetalnlna;. The picture or souvenir postal card Is
probably doing more to make the world
known to the untraveled than all the
geographies and gaxetteere. There Is
scarcely a village anywhere In the domain
cf the postal union that has not had Its
picture taken for a postal card linpres
slon In black and white or In colors, and
thus Its humble fame has been carried
over seas and Introduced to the four cor
ners of the union. All the aliens and
prodigal sons cannot return for the Old
Home week celebrations, but thanks to
the man who Invented the picture postal
card, they may be reminded of the old
home scene at an expenditure of a few
cents.
A manufacturing firm In Newark re
rorta that In one week 1.SO0 picture post
als were left at the establishment for the
employes. These cards were passed from
bench to bench to be admired, and tho
practice Interfered so much with the woik
to be done that the firm notified Its em
ployes that no more of their mall could
bo received on the premises. An Insur
ance company, a shoe shop and a corset
factory In Newark had to make the same
rule.
The sale of 1-cent stamps to put on
these picture cards has become enormou.t.
So congested have the mails become with
them that the carriers In many cities are
days4ehlnd In their deliveries. The vaca
tion postofflces are swamped. Thousands
of cards never reach their destination. It
Is not to be supposed that they are ab
stracted from the malls, for nothing could
be cheaper than specimens of the new art.
We suspect that the overburdened and
distraught sorters In the railway post
office cars sometimes lose a bundle of
cards In sheer desperation by design.
Flesh and blood cannot withstand the
pictorial deluge, it Is wonderful that the
I'uithful servants who have to face the
ever mounting combers of two-for-flve
souvenirs retain their sanity.
In cities of the first class the poslofflce
clerks handle thousands of the card
every day. The transportation and de
livery of them ha become an embar
rassing question. It would not be eur-
i prising If congreea were usked to In
crease a service made "groggy" by the
extra work which the habit cause. YCe
should like to know how much the de
partment Is ahead of the game by the
sale of 1-ceut stamps to carry the cards.
In a day when It has a deficit to report
it cannot afford to discourage such a
development of popular art. There are go
many new varieties of picture card de
signed every day that If the fashion con
tinues to advance by leaps and boun.la
It may not be lonir before the nostofflee
j department will bo self-supporting in
aplte of the Immense sum paid to the
railroads for transportation.
Every cross roads store now ha a rase
full of picture postals; they are a part of
the equipment of every summer hotel; on
the trains they pell In sets; In the larger
cities they are the sole stock of some of
the stores; the street peddler makes a
living out of them; they are the continu
ous chain between the vacationists and
the stay-at-homes; albums are filled with
them by the artistic us well as by the
sentimental; they flood the land with a
mighty tide of color; the works of the
old masters, the conceits of comic art
ists, the solicitations of the advertising
tribe, everything pictorial that may hit
the popular taste or fill a "long felt
want" is now exploited by the cheap and
convenient postal card, which at the
same time mny'Varry a message or a sal
utation from the sender on the address
I as well a on the picture side. There 1
a great subject for the Industrious lit
erary hack in the rise and spread of the
Illustrated postal card. In time it will
have a literature of It own.
WHAT WALL STREET COSTS
A Deluge of Money Ponred t'pon tho
Street Kvery Twelve
Mentha.
It cost the public an Immense (um of
money to maintain a stock market' for the
benefit of the manufacturing contingent
and its numerous sale agencies.
Iu its crystallised form the market I
represented by the New York Stock ex
change, un unincorporated association, hav
ing a membership of 1,100 men. Seat on
this exchange have sold for $95,000 each,
making a total valuation of $10i 500,0Uv.
The present quotation is a few thousand
dollar lesa, but It ia likely ere long to
cross $100,000,000. Aside from a life in
surance provision of $10,000, the value of
seals on the Stock exchange Is predicated
on what they earn for their owner. That
they should command $96,000 each must be
accepted as conclusive evidence that they
are worth that much. Allowing 10 per cent
as a minimum return on personally di
rected active capital, a single membership
may be rated aa having an average income
value of $9,600 a year, or $10,430,000 net, for
the entire memberahip.
A a matter of fact, $10,450,000 annually
I only a tithe of what the public pay the
member of the New York Stock exchange.
In commission and Interest alone it pour
Into the exchange every year not leea than
$tXi,COO,000, an average of $54,546 per mem
ber. This vast aum Is contributed purely
for the privilege of playing in a game
where the chancea are heavily against the
player. To employ a gambling comparison,
it may be aald In truth that the New York
Stuck exchange bear the aame relation
to tha speculative public that tha "kitty"
doe to a poker game where there I a
"rake off" on every pot played. I may be
permitted to assume that a large number
of my reader will understand this Illus
tration if accentuated by the further ex
planation that auch a "rake off 1 almost
confiscatory, and that six men engaging In
such a game with $100 each will all get
up "broke" at the end of a sesalon of mod
erate duration. So it 1 with tnoae who

contributions to the "kitty" are boundTT
extinguish their capital unless they have
unusual means of replenishment and an
Inexhaustible Income from other sources.
Wall street has also been described as a
"Toll gate In the highway of American
progresa." levying an Inexorable tribute on
all enterprises of magnitude. There Is truth
In the figure of speech.
FVery big financial thing has to go to
Wall street for money and for credentials.
Without the proper Wall street "O. K." a
corporation proposing to Issue securities for
general Investment lack the brand of le
gitimacy entitling It to respect and confi
dence. People may rail at Wall street and
denounce It as a nest of swindler and as
being wholly and Irredeemably bad. but the
fact remain that corporate rrofrty, to
get the right treatment from the public
must come from Wall street and cany
Wall atreef expressed approval. The pub
Uc curse Wall street and then Inconsist
ently Jump to the conclusion that there
must be something wrong with a corporate
Issue that cannot ahow the Wall street
mark of friendly Mentlflcatlon. To get the
right kind of a endofT any sort of cor
porate proposition must submit to Wall
street Inspection and to Wall strett taxa
tion. There i a harsher name for It -blackmail.
The Wall street life of a speculator U
aid to average leas than three years. This
may be regarded as entirely reasonable,
when the speculators pay directly Into the
"kitty" In tho Item of commissions and
Intel est SUO.OOO.OOO a year.
To the $80,000,000 annual contribution to
the Wall street "kitty" $60,000,000 to $100.

"shnkeoute" and on top of that figure a
steady average yearly loss of S7S.A00.otV) to
$100,000,000 chargeable to bad judgment and
"freeteouta," and a fair estimate may be
reached of what It cost the public to
upport Wall street a grand total of ap
proximately $280,000,000 every twelve montlix
The S5.000.000 people composing the popula
tion of the whole Vnlted State do not pay
much more than double that sum fcr the
support of the national government, the
maintenance of the naval and war estab
lishments, the post office, the custom houses,
the federal Judiciary nnd the Innumerable
Incidental expense of tha civil atructure.

SELECTED HIS OWN GRAVE
An Kplaoae of the Border Days Show
las; How Proshelea Wero
Faiailed.
When Dead Shot Bill rode Into Haya City
one day in the early '70a with Ma hat
pulled down over hi eyea and a hard Wok
atound hi mouth, those who knew Mm
(aid that he had come for blood. Ho
had not, however. He had come to have
an understanding with Dave Mill, who had
lately been appointed city marshal. BUI
sat on hie horse In front of the Star sa
loon until Dave came along and when they
had saluted each other and shaken hands
he said: "Dave, what about this city
marshal business?" "I'm goln' to keep
order." was the. reply. "No mote shootm'
up tho town?" "No more. Bill." "You'll
stop It?" "I will." .
"Say, Dave, you can't do It. You are a
good man, but you Jesa can't do it. I'm
comln' In tomonow to capture the town.'
"Don't try it on BUI." "But I shall. Dave."
"Hev you got a few mlnita to spare?"
I askd Dave, aa he gave a hitch to his
gun. "A hull hour. What wanted."
"Come over to the graveyard. Bill, and ae
lect your laat resttn' place. It fillln' up
purty fast, but thar ar" a few rholce spots
left." They went over the creek to Boot
Hill, the three-acre spot et aside for the
dead, and Bill got off hi horse Dave
waved his hand and aald: "Take your pick
nnd I'll put a Chlnyman at work diggln'
tht grave."
Bill walked over the ground and finally
selected a sunny spot on the south aide of
a knoll and said it would do. The city
marshal called to a Chinaman who waa
passing and ordered him to get a shovel
and dig a hole, and then ho turned to Bill
with, "Wall, at what time tomorrer kin I
expect you?" About noon, Dave." "Sure
to come?" "Dead aure. I never disappoint
an audience, you know." "I'll be ready.
Good-bye, Bill." "80 long, Dave."
At 11:66 o'clock next day Dead Shot Bill
came Into Hays City with a whoop and a
yell, hi broncho on a dead run and a gun
In either hand. At 12:05 he was lying dead
In front of the Wild West saloon, and at
12:45 the Inquest had been concluded and
he wa occupying the grave he had se
lected. The city marshal had downed hlin
and the verdict of the Jury was: "We are
kinder aorry for the deceased, but it was
all right and according to Hojie." Denver
