BANKERS FEEL WELL SATISFIED, Jobbers in Excellent Humor, and the Ountlook Promising For a Splen- did Beason's Business— The Sugar Decline. In Local Commercial Oirclos. Mr. Hughes, managerof the clearing honse, reports the clearings for the woek as #4,160,- 156,22, an increase of 19 1-10 per cent. Bal- ances were 8507,910.18. The local money market is vory steady and rates are firm at 8 to 10 per cent. with a cood demand, which causcs bankers 10 be well satisfiod with the situation. The flurry in Wall street during the first days of the week had no appreciable effect here as it was generally, and correctly, surmised that the tightoess in the market there was duc to the manipulations of specu- lators in stocks and certain to be only tempo- rary. But there is a feeling prevalont in local fluancial circles that loanable funds will be scarcer than now before the close of the year and that those who sail closest to the wind from now on will be wise. Bankers do not say that they will be unable to take care of any who are entitled to monetary favors, but that offerings will be scrutinized somewhat closer than has been the custom of late, Jobbers are in excellent humor over the season’s business thus far, which has fully equalled the expectations of the most sangu- ine, and promises to be the largest in the history of the city, Collections are con- tinually improving, and remittances are liberal from uearly all parts of the state ‘There have been but fow failures of import- ance in this section of the country during tne past few months, aud 1t is beliovea that most of the weak ones laid down lust spring and that the country is in very good condi- tion. The retail trade is not heavy, but with the advent of colder weather a brisk demand is anticipated, and our merchants have stocked up with both fine and staple goods and expect a very good demand. The feature of the week iu groceries has been the decliue in sugar, which is off @ AJe per pound, but advices from thé east zive token of au intention on the part of the trust refineries 10 put prices up again if possible. The latest estimates make an addition of 240,000 tons to the probable yield of the new crop of beet sugar snd the probavle azgre- gate yield of the world is placed at 2,254,000 tons of cane sugar and 2,735,000 tons of beet sugar for 18880, and compared with 2,465,000 tons cane and 2451 tgus beet for 1 Coffec is weakening, owing to larger of ings, though the last crop was a short one. The receipts at Rlo thus far in the current crop year, which begun July 1, have been ‘523,000 bags, and at Santos 517,- 000 bags, against, for the samo time in the precedine crop year 1.110,000 bags at Rio and #18,000 at_ Sautos. Rice is very firm despite the fact that an abundant crop is in sight. Canned goods are now coming forward and attract attention. Dried fruits continue steady and firm at quotations. The drug market remains in statu quo with but few changes. Business is good and unproving and there is beginning to be felt u good demand for. holiday goods, with promise of a brisk scason. Lumber is rather quict and prices are low. Hardware is brisk and prices are advancing.

There was a pretty good run of cattle to- day but there were not many beeves. There were few extra good beeves here, nnd while there has been nothing here of late with which they could be compared, it would be safe to call the market stronger.’ As high 24,46 was paid for one bunch, the highest price paid here in a long time, aud the best tie.

Wheat Steady at Some Improve- ment in Values, HEAVINESS IN THE CORN PIT. May the Popular Dalivery in Teansac- tions in Oats—Angther Dall Day Witnessed In Provisions— General Quotations, CHICAGO PRODUO MARKETS, Cuicaco, Oc'. 5 pectal Telegram to Tie Bre]—The wheat market was steady to-day atsome improvement in values. It opened strong and higher on better cables and the publication in the morning papers of areport from the United States consul at Mayennce to the state departuent repro- senting that there is an important shortago in the European crops. The report in que tion was plainly based on the findings of the Vienna congross and is a six-woeks'-old re- hash of the estimates given the world whon the cougress was in session. Nevertheless the attempt to muke a sensation of the so-called nows was measurably successful. Private advices irom the old world foreshadowed an- other large decroase in the amount on pus- sugo and gave this as an explaunation of the firmer tone of the English markets. Orr's correspondent, however, attributes the strength to the fact that thero is an un- usually heavy short iuterest in Californis wheat in Liverpool, and that the upward tendency noticed i prices is due to the n vousness of the shorts, Possivly both the causes menifoned have something to do with the improved feeling abroad. Home news was bearish in tenor. The northwest pourcd in the daily flood of bear bulletins. ‘Theso relate principally to the heavy move- ment of wheat. As the transportation facili- ties of the roads in Dakota and Minnesota are already overtaxed, there is no chance for the movement to increase, and consequently this sort of news can not, get worse. It can ouly continue in the same old strain. There ia consolation for some in this thought, Traders were doing moro or less figuring on the visible supply to-day. The estimatos ranged from 1,250,000 to 2,000,000 ncrease. Minneapolis and Duluth stocks are expected to show an increase of 950,000 busuels and New York will also increase largely. 1 ad- dition to the tidbits of prophecy it was stated that Monday’s receipts in Minneapolis and Duluth will aggregate 850 cars and that a large overflow in this direction is soon to setin, Hearish gossip and bearish statistics had no effect on prices to-day. The marioet ruled firm throughout. The opening range was 827@S3!gc for December and 85c for t official quotatiou i Decom- was 8274c, but the market got to S3'gc before any great amount” of business could be done. The early morning advance culmi- nated at $8%c. On the up turn a very large awmount of Lug wheat was sold out for local account, but the market took it up like a sponge.” The price ouly. got back to 8277c and during the last hopg - the market actod strong and values sought higher levels. Active business was done in the pit and a healthy increase in the number and impor- tance of outsido orders was noticed. By 1 olclock -~ Decembor was up to 83/ c, but the marketdid not stay thera long. ‘Iie’last fifteen minutes of the session witnessed lively realiziug and good general trading. The' last price was 831,@33%c. ‘The pressure on May was heavier than on December. This delivory sold up 1o 8 carly and thon off to 8317, but on tho ad- vance 1n the last hour 1t ascended the scalo ¢, easing off. hioweyer, at the last and closing 'at 85 @sy%o, October oponed at 811 e, sold down Lo 807¢e, but closed ut Slijc., Thie last quotations are fractionally nigher than those of yesterday. No direct export business was done, but vessel room was en- gaged for 125,000 bushels, which was dos- tined for Buffalo and New York. “Thero was a fair amount of activity in corn, but heaviness was a characteristic of the trade. The shorts wero adding to their lines and tired holders were droppug some of theirs, There was free selling o October and November, which weakened tho entire list of futures, many touching a lower point than had been previously re- corded. At 31¢ for Decomber thero was an active demand, coming mainly from the shorts, however, To-day’s receipts were seventy cars loss than had boen estimated, but no'influence was feit upon prices from this fuct. onday the receipts are ex- pected to be cars, The trade was chiofly local, with no outside controiling faction visivle. The elosing prices werd for Octobe {¢ for May, wh is in tho first 1-1 and 1 the latter Jse under yesterday Arcyival in ‘speculative was witnessed to-day. May was the popular de ud operations were conducted on a rather lower scale of values. The initinl price of May was 22%@223¢c. - The market worked down to 22igc, at which point a large number of orders to buy were brought out, and thereafter the market ruled steady Iiverybody wanted oats at 32i¢c. There was plenty for sale above 22!/¢, but_not half as uch as was wanted rigit at that figu Some busincss was done in Decembor and a moderate_trade in October was reported.

No improvement in affairs is expected until the conrt procacdings in the injuuction case are completed and the disputed’ question of the delivery of new packed pork on short trades sottled. In the general market the underlying feeling favors holders. The dullness existing has so far failed "to make the bears aggressive, and to-day the few changes mado in the price’leancd to a higher level.
