VDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1888 —-SIXTEE THE CONDITION OF TRADE. Money Rules Easy and the Demand Continues Fair. GENERAL BUSINESS MODERATE. v ually Good Collections in Ne- braska--Prices Have an Upward Tendency—Sugar Unchanged ~Flour Steady — Com- mercial Notes. The Money Market. Bankers report a quiet money market the past week with o fair demand from both eity and country. The market for money is easier than usual at this scason and all re- quirements are frecly met at the usual rate 10 per cent. Exchange is in good supply and steady at §1 per 1,000 premium, An exchange states that a start made at copper smelting in Nevada. Two or three furnaces are alrcady at work in the custern part of the state, and there are many in western Nevada that might be started up, The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific rail- road has as the New York stock exchange 10 list $1,000,000 additional first mortgage extension and collateral bonds issued against a deposit of an equal amount of Chicago, Kansas & Nebraska railroad bonds. Within the past week four national banks in difterent parts of the country have sur- rendered their bonds held to sccure pubiic deposits, 1t is stated at the treasury that considerable withdrawals are contem- has been -al trade is fairly active, There is no great rush in any of the lines, but orders are liberal and jobbers are very well satis- fled. The election excitement, as it ap- proaches its climsx, tends to divert men's winds from business, especially in the coun- try, and quite a lull will be looked for from now to Novemver 0, but great confidence is felt that the closing weeks of the vear will be busy ones.

Holland herring are held firmly awing to the short supply, Dried fruits are plenti- ful and the California product 'is of fine qual Teas are somewhat higher, especially in the lower grades. Provisions are lower and leading packers quoted a rad- ical reduction in the price of lard and smoked meats the pust week. ‘Che output of anthra- cite coal continues excessive and the demand moderate, hence higher prices should not be looked for. Flour is fairly steady, and as the principal millers of the northwest are strong “'bulls” higher prices may be legiti- mately anticipated. The supply of both Car- ina and Louisiana rice is restricted and are vory steady. The finer grades of fruits are scarce and higher. is in good demand and prices Sugar 18 unc a8 tel v to lower but the “‘trust’ is still in the ascendanc likely to remain so this vear at least. The demand for butter in uli grades is good and ikely to prevail. vear when the erop of an.sugar bogins to come in that all through the south and west as far as St. Lows the New Orleans sugar is preferred. ‘[his sugar is now appearing, and as there is a very large crop the southern planters are making money. Not that the acreage is n- d, but with their improved methods of ery they do not make half the wuste sed. The hat ‘‘the arrival on the market of the New Orlean p has curtailed the territory of the fined-sugar men, The market is in a soi what peculiar condition. While a general steady feeling pervades it there is at the same time & foeling thut the prices will soon begin to go lower. The stocks of raw sugar which up to now have not been up to the av- erage are now plenty for the demand.” Oils are selling actively and carbon oils are The consumption is over 40,000 barrels in excess of production and this is mak- ing heavy inroads on the visible supaly, ‘which is less than 21,000,000 barrels. Mackerel are scarce and high, with slow sale The mackerel fleet did little or nothing the past week and the season is now virtually over, though a few vessels will re- main out a little longer in hopes of making some hauls which would compensate par- ually for their poor luck ulurmx the summer, The catch to date i 1y 84,007 bbls, against 69,825 bbls in 1887, “ hhll in 1886, and 801,505 bbls in 188 In 1884, the great mackerel year, the total New England catch ‘was 476,018 bbls, The English salt trust will begin opera- tions with the opening of November. The output_is to be restricted, competition avouded, and prices advanced. Those who have studied the_situation have arrived at the conclusion without much brain work that higher prices for English salt will cause mfhar prices for New York and Michigan as American salt producers are always n‘llly to further their own interests. ‘The demand for sugar continues rather slow and prices are not characterized by any great firmn The scheme of rofining sugar by electricity, which has been boomea considerably among refiners of late, has not yet been publicly tested in & practical man- nd some doubts have boen expresse regarding the outcome. Kansas, if it kes up the record it has made this year, will soon be a large sugar state. Large amounts of sorghum sugar and molasses huve been raised, and the price has been much lower than heretofore. Coffee is meeting with a very fair demand andfthe importations are increasing. During the past week 115,000 bags of coffee were shipped on steamers and sail vessels from Rio de Janeiro to this country, and 8,000 bags left Santos forour shores. Supplies at Suntos aro incroasing and are quite large. The speculators are still trying to boom coffce, and bad Brazi crop reports are made the most of by the bulls, ‘The codfish catch shows a falling off from last year, but the supply will probably be enough for the demand at the prices asked. Herring and other kinds of pickled fish are attracting more attention. A schooner has arrived at Gloucester with 10,000 small mack- erel, which sold upon receipt at 4c each. According to the Philadelphia Press the iron trade is just now 1n a comparatively sat- isfactory condition. Lately the demand has n suficiently active to prevent any in- crease of stocks and prices have had no op- portunity to develope weakness. On the contrary mills and furnaces have all been pushed for deliveries, and the market has shown a corresponding firmness. Nowhere on the list have buyers been able recently 10 find & weak place OMAHA Saturday, Oct. 27, 1888, The reccipts were light and the mnrkot waa very quiet at steady prices.

THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. A Further Gain Recorded ‘Wheat Pit. in the AN EASIER FEELING Little Doing in Oats—Provisions Re- cover Slightly But Close Slow— Little Change in Cattle —Hogs Weak, IN CORN. GO PRODUCE MARKET. CHIcAGO, pecial Telegram to Tur B e another gain to- day. The highest point touched was §1.18 for December and €1.10 for May. The aver- age price was }j@@%c below the outside range, or about 1¢ above yesterday's closing quotations, May and December started oft about even, but throughout most of the ses- sion the price of December ranged M liye under May, This would seem to indicate that the short interest is getting out of De- cember. Commission merchants have been making heroic efforts for three weeks to clear their books of December trades, and they have measureably succeeded, while scalpers are doing very little in near deliv- eries. May opencd at $1.17@1.113, sold up !g@lyc, then off to #1.17)y, The course of the market, therefore, was steadily upwards until €119 was reached, there being, of course, intermediate reactions, but mothing important. From #1.19 the price worked back from $1.1817 up to £1.18%, with §1.181¢ the favorite resting place the last hour or two. The close for May was, however, $1.18(@1.19, re- newed strength developing at the last. De- cember left off at §1.1% sellers. As on yes- terday and the day before, Hutchinson was the largest open buyer, and he was said also to be active in St. Louis and other markets. Minneapolis and Duluth were steady and slightiy higher. St. Louis was considerably higher, making quite as large a jump us Chi- cago. Cables were steady, but the air here- abouts was charged with bull news and bull tips. Hutchinson has declared that wheat will be 81.25 next week. He can put 1t there if he wants to, and he may have pride in sce- ing his prediction verified that wheat would be £1.25 or above every month of the crop year after August, Dispatches to the effect that Bradstreet's was out with a statement that there would be no more wheat to export from Atlantic ports this crop year made a stir early in the day. The actual value of statistics which flop around like Brad- strect’s do is very slight, but scalpers used this bit of news with some effect This latest conclusion of Bradstree happens to be in aarmony with the best in- telligence of trade, but it is dircctly antago- nistic to previous estimates emanating from the same source. Light receipts constituted the strongest bull of the day, however. The volume of trade in the pit was not ex- cessive, but it mounted up into a respectable aggregute. Short selling was unpopular, but the realizing of profits on trades was quite general. Larger “trausicnt” lines were dumped yesterday and bull leaders did not have to take such big bites, but they, never- theless, added materially to their lines. The feeling was that of great firmness and steadi- ness the last half hour and final vrices were nearly at the top. The bears are doing littl They feel that prices are too high, but the; have abiding respect for the power of th bulls, anu fear of the scarcity of speculat gradés. May wheat closed nearly 5¢ a bushe higher than a weck ago, and S0¢ per bushel above corn for the same month, Thy a decidedly easier feeling in the corn market at the opening of business, brought about by some selling by leading operators added to laree receipts and only moderate shipments. _ First quotations were: November 41'gc and May 38¢c, which was a decline on riear futures of ly¢ since yester- duy, while May opened at the sume price it closed on the previous day. The export de- mand was good, thirteen loads being reported taken to-day at New York, and Liverpool ad- vices quoted a good demand as existing there. Trading was light and the weak feci- ing at the beginning was added to by a further decline, utumonml on a promise of Monday’s receipts figuring out 76( Beyond the foregomg there was no special features. The result of the day's business was a losson the November future of 5 @3gc, on December of ¢, and May lost ¢, closing at 3884, price of November was 40'»(‘“]( , and of De Oats shared the gencral quu'tmlr‘ with lit- tle doing on the regular market outside of May, wln in the moderate favor, and with the absence of dutside »]n'(‘ulntlvu orders, business was confined to room trad- ers, The week closes with little nterest in any futures of the current year, and no ap- parent demand to cover shorts. ' A few cars of oats in store sold at 24}4c, or about previ- ous prices, with sales of cash oats chiefly by sample. The provision trade closed the week in a rather slow maunncr. Hutchinson bought some pork, lard and short ribs for Janu- ary to-day, but aside from his operations the market was featureless. Operators acted as if they were a little undecided and preferred to await developments In the way of hog receipts, the movement of cash pro- duct, and the action of packers before branch- ing out. Still there was some recovery from yesterday's depression, and at the close pork for the differcnt deliveries this side of May showed an advance of 10c, January lard of 21¢c, and January short ribs of Tige. May pork rested 5 higher, but October short ribs were e lower. Lard, except for January, closed unchanged to2/jc easier. CHICAGO LIVE STOCR, CricAGo, Oct. 27.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee,|—Carrie—Business was slow, more on account of lack ot stock than any other fac- tor, as there was hardly five hundred head on the direct market, as the great bulk of ar- rivals were Texans, nearly all of which b longed 10 Swift, Armour and Morris, coming direct from western points. So it will be seen that there were no inducements to buy- ers to get out, even if they had orders, as there was nothing on the market they wanted. The sales of natives comsisted largely of 0dds and ends of what was left last night, and o far as prices are concerned there was little or no change as compared with yesterday, and the general market closed steady at the decline previously noted. Excepting the spurt on Tues- day the market has been profoundly weak from opening to fimsh, but escaped with an aggregate decline of 20@25¢ in com- mon and medium grades snd of 1@ good to choice, such as are classed as ; There was scarcely a sufficient number to establish prices, but the fact that there was one sale at $5.50 would indicate that there has been no important change in the selling value of that class. Cows aud bulls and all descriptions of canners and _butchers' stock is 15@2c cheaper than last week. Stockers and feeders are in fair request at nearly steady rates. The best grades of range cattle have held about steady, while the poorer sorts have declined 10(@15c.

A few fancy sold at 8345 0.50, and the general market closed weak at the decline, The demand for assorted light was limited, common selling at $5.25@5.40, and a few, bought by the Liptou cowpany, at $5.55, Values are da40o lower than a week d packers now are beginning to talk ot #5.00 for good packing stock. ——— FINANCIAL.

The Stock Market Rules Easier on Smaller Earnings Than Were Ex- pected—A Moderate Increase in Produce Speculation, The Demand for Money. Cricago, Oct. 37.—[Special Telegram to Tie B he monetary situation has un dergone littlegif any, change since our last weekly review. Money has met a steady, but not urgent demand and the makers of de sirable paper and those who wanted advances on grain, provisions and other convertable collaterals, were readily supy Ocen sional loans w made on cali to gilt-edged borrowers, who wanted large sums at 5 per cent. In most cases, however, 6 was the lowest figure named, and th bulk of transactions were made at 6 per cent on call and @S per cent on time loans, A fair percentage of the time paper taken was sent in by country banks, who wanted it r discounted. Grain dealers at other points asked for an average line of advances, and the demand for assistance from such parties promises to materiaily increase in the near future, as corn dealers in this and western states have already commenced cribbing the new crop, with a view of holding until spring. Speculative trading n wheat also promises to keep prices above the legitimate shipping limit, hence the bulk of the wh marketed after this date, as weil @ majority of that on hand at accumulating points, is likely to be carried through to spring. But, while a good demand for money is promised during the next six or seven morths, and interest rates are likely to at erage higher than the current figures of to- day, there are few if any indications of an uucomfortable stringency. 1In fact, the vol ume of coin and currency in the country is ample to do ull the business likely to de- velope and at the same time keep rates for loans within « healthy limit. Shipments of money to the wheat sections were fair. New York exchange has been less freely offered than during the preceding week and rates have ruled a trifle stronger, with sales be tween bankers at 50@60c discount per £1,000, closing at S0¢. Foreign exchange was quict on & basis of $4.82@482lg; for ship- pors sixty - daya documentary sterling on London, j@454 for baukers' £its on the same tira, - The jobbing trade in dry goods and miscellancous lines of mer- chandise, although strictly continea to filling small orders received by mail, was quite equal to anticipations, Prices ‘were well maintained for nearly ail articles, and sugars and coffees closed higher. ‘The Now York stock market oxhibited a fair acgree of activity during the past week, but the great bulk of trading was credited o Wall street operators. Outside speculators are timid_about taking hold, and foreign operators inclined to the selling side of the mark for lending stocks were rather e a slight trotled to a great extent by * traders,” and changes wore made on slight and _unim portant influences. The fact that freight rates have boen restored was regarded us a strengthening feature, but the reported earn ings of the leading railroads were smalier than was generally anticipated, and this had | o deprossing effect. There appears to bo lit le doubt but that there wili bo plenty of freight to move during the winter months especially thronghout the west. “Coal rouds * are doing a good business, and trunk lines aiso show an_increased freight - movement. Aggregate sales on the New York stock ex change for the week were 1,532,555 shar Consideruble interest was manife the leading grain and provision ui ing the past week, and there wus a moderate increase in the volume of business, especially in the speculative branch of trage, The feeling, however, was somewhat unsettled and tuated considerably, though ! 5 ed in near deliveries, leading wostern well maintained, wh Possibly show ing a slight decrease, while shipments were moderately free frou lake ports especia corn and oats. Purchases have been made with moderate freedom from eastern mar kets, but the export trade has diminished considerabl corn_being about the nly cereal now calied for 1 any quantity. The weather has been rather unfavorable for fall work on farms, and has to some extent in terfered with the movement of produce to stations, Supplies of all kinds of erain are eradually enlarging, but not in a greater pro portion than at the corresponding period i former years. In speculative circles wheat, corn pork attracted most att raling higher,while the balunce chang at lower figures, Sceds were in fair and prices averaged higher, but prices were not supported to the close. receipts of live stock have been quite lib especially of cattle and sheep.
