THE CONDITION OF TRADE. Money Reported Tighter During the Past Weoek. INCREASE IN CLEARINGS. GOoD An Active Demand For Funds From Oity Jobbers—Nebraska's Grows ing Importance as a Live Stock Center. In Local Commercial Circles, Mr, Hughes roports the clearings for the weck as footing # 2,252.10, an increase over this week last year of 26 3-10 per cent. Balances wera $000,604.40. This 18 a very healthy increase, and as the clearings of the associated banks of Omaha are based upon ictual transactiors and are clean and not stuffed, the commercial situation is very Accurately represonted by them. Money is tighter than it was last week and scems to be growing tighter, There is o very activo demand for money from ity jobbers who about this time are accustomed to discount their oills for fall and winter purchases. Then the wants of tho country are manifested earlier than usual. Nebraska will bacome great cattle and sheep foeding state this year and next. The shipments of cattle and sheep from the surrounding states at the present timo are far in excess of any pro- vious season and are very heav) mons crops and our even chimate hay tracted the attention of feeders who seck the cheapest market for their needs and the plains and hils of Nebraska will be crowded thib winter ana next spring with stock driven here w consume the surplus of our granaries and this means that our farmers will have a better market for their products than they thought it wise to expect when they saw at the close of harvest so great a surplus of corr and small grain as the result of their toil. Good judgzes and well posted men say there will be more stock fed and shipped from this state during the ensuing six months than ever before n its history. * General trade is very good; there has been some lessening of the demand for woolens and the heavier winier goods owing to the mild, brl ht weather prevailing, but ary goods jobbers say trade is better this year nmn Taat atid prices are unchanged but firm. In groceries Mle sugar market is off and a decline of fully l{c per pound is noted. Mr. Spreckels’ fm:'.ury starts up next week, and as he will have about one- fourth of 'the consumers' requirements to sell, the trust is meeting him in advancs by cutting under what they consider a normal prodt. It seems certain that this country will be able to buy sugar this winter as low a8 Burope buys tiie American sugar product after paying freight from our shores to theirs. Coffee is dull and weak and buyers are tak- ang only what they want for immediato use. ‘Lhe feeling seems to be that the crop for the year will be larger than has been promised, und while Rio reports no great surplus, the accumulations at Santos are heavy and prices are likely to o lower. he drug market 18 fairly active and prices are firm. Shelf hardware is_selling froely, and demand for bar iron, nails, etc., is very good, influenced by tho promise’ that higher prices are almost certain to prevail. Paints und oils arc steady and window glass is up b per cent and very stiff, T'hero is a very fair demand for lumber and building materiuls from both city and country trade, but the market is not strong and concet 8 are readily made on round lots. ‘ollections are pretty good from the coun- try though it is necessary to poke them up considerably, and to obtain satisfactory re- sults there are some credit men wao think 1t will bo necessary to carry over fully as large a crop of delinquents as usual, and this will probably be the case if farmers de- cide as a class to hold their crons and feed rather than sell at the low prices quoted. ‘What is wanted just now to maico the pe: ful agriculturist feel good and cheerful is a bioody and prolonged Furopean war. City trade is fair and improves daily. All that is needed to gladden the hearts of our city retailers is a spell of cold weather, and if rain could come with it for u few days trade would be good. City collections are quiet. ¥Ihe movement of canned peaches is show- ing gradual improvement, aud transactions at first hands as well as the business be- tween jobber and retailer are invariably at firm prices, particularly where braunds of positive merit are concerncd. The New York Commercial Bullotin says that the condition of new pack tomatoes re- ceived in delivery on contracts is turning out to be quite the reverse of satisfactory, and rejections havo been quite frequent tho Inst few duys. Many lines are found to be faulty in color, poor in flavor, and watery, & result of the wel weather during the season. Sugar is i moderato demund at casy prices. At the latest dates the ageregate of the world's visible supply of sugar was 403,159 tons, against 400,040 tons a weck earlier and 469,254 tons a year ago. It is now announced that the Alaska sal- mon pack will aggregate 500,000 cases insteud of 400,000. Reports from California indicate a con- tinued hardening tendency there to prices for evaporated fruits in general. Previous advices of growing scarcity of stocks in first hands ate confirmed, while the demand is represented as quite brisk. Apricots have advanced about 1¢ per pound during the past week. The market on mackerel is very firm, and it is & surprise to many that they are bought at the present high prices, but the demand is very good, and lots are sold as fast as they arrive. Prices go higher and higher, and the fish long ago ceased to be acommon article of food, and became o luxury, They are vastly dearer than most kinds of meat, and it seems surprising that they should be 80 eagerly soughbt after. Coffee is plenty and fairly actlve at our- rent prices. Cables from Rotterdam give the stock 1 Europe October 1 as 1.671,100 Dags, (against 1,881,900 bags !fi\:p\uuhur 1, 1880, ‘and 1,800,400 bags October 1, 1558) thus bringing the visiblo supply of the world to 2,030.074 bags, against 3006589 bags Sep- tember 1, 1889, and 2,374,223 bags October 1, 1858, The New York coffe exchange calou™ lations to October 1 ninke the grand total covsumption of coffee in the United States snd in Europe in July to September in- clusive, or three mouths, 2,308.402 bags, against 2,331,500 bags.in the same time in the preceding crop year. Receiptsat Santos are 8,400 bags per day and average receipts in Rio about 6,000 bags ver day. The re- ceipts at the latter port are generally muach larger than in the former.

CORN AGAIN VERY DESPONDENT, Oate Continues on the Downhill Course—No New Developments in Provisions—A Brisk De- mand For Heavy Hogs. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cnrcaao, Ocs. 19.~[Special Telegram to Tnre Bee.]—~Wheat slippea down a notch to-day, but was very steady not to say firm at the decline, with unusually heavy buying from all quarters. The volume of transac- tions in futurcs was away above the av. erage. In offices yesterday afternoon De- cember wheat sold as bigh us 813ge. This morning it opened weak at 81%¢, with May quoted at S4{e. December sold down to 8l¢ and May to 833c. An avalanche of wheat came out, but a stone wall was struck at Slo and S4%¢ for December .and May respect- ively. The demaud for property at these figures was limitiess, apparently. An im- mense busincss was done at the inside and the ‘'split” above, but not 50 per it of the buying orders could be ed. The shorts covered freely, but commission houses scemed to have in- numerable orders. It cannot be truthfully 4, thereforo, that the market derived its support from the shorts altogether. There was clearly a renewed investment buying by people who consider a #i¢@4c decline from tho top as break enough. The market during the greater part of the day ruled steady around 81 @311c for December und S4c for May. The close was 79!{c for October, 811{c for December and 8374@84c for May, or ¢ lower than yesterday., News to-d largely of a statistical nature. Bradstreet's reports clearances from both coasts wheat and flour for the week 8,000 bushels, against 3,838,000 the corresponding period last 'he New York produce exchange res tiat exports from both eptomber 1 to. 000 bushels, agu bushel corresponding six weoks lust year. Exports for last week includo 618,000 bushels of wheat, 220,000 barrels of flour and 1,100,000 bushels of corn. Wheat and flour combined to represeut 1,600,000 bushels. No new export business way reported and cables ranged from weak to steady, no special change in prices being mentioned. In the northwest indications point to a moderate fatling off in the movement. Dakota and Minnesota elevator systems report a_letting- up in_ farmers’ deliveries and good authorities were that Minneapolis and Duluth receipts for the past week will not be exceed- ed on the year'scrop. An increase in stocks at these Lo points amounting to $00,000 bush- ols is expected and the bears will be di pointed if there should not bea 2,000,000 in- crease m the visible supply next Monday. T'hey have their minds set on that fyure. ‘The drouth 1n the Ohio valley continues, It 18 fine weather for curing corn, but farmers complain that late planted wheat is not show- ing up well. This feature may loom into a position of first importance if rain does not come soon, The bull: el a sense of in- creased confidence since they witnessed big buying to-day in the face of big selling by foreign houses and bearish news from the old world and the northwest. There is a free movement of wheat from the west to the east, and the quality of western re- ceipts is improving, The corn market was once morein the slouch of despond, in which condition all de- partments of business participated. The re- ceipts were ten cars less than had been cal- culated on and for Monday 435 cars were the estimated number which would be inspected, and this takes account of what may be pass2d upon by the inspectors on Sunday. Clearances from Atlantic ports were heavier than for some time and the shipments from his port were liberal, but regular shippers clum that there s no margin at present between this and east- ern markets, and the weakness of lower grades and high mixed yellow in the cash market, which have recently been the only kinds banated by shippors, appeared 10 confirm the sincerity of the above state- ment. Near deliveries opened at a dechine of about ’sc under the closing fizures of the day before, but some of the recent sellers wers buyers at the decline, and apart from the de- mand from this source there was no support to the market.

Hutchinson was the largest seller of January pork by long odas, while the shorts in October lard sbowed a disposition to cover. The lard market was relatively firmer than the pork market. la fact, the impression generally prevails that packers bave sold about all of the January product they care to put out until ‘the’ October pork muddle is settled. Receipts of hogs continue liberal for the season. Tuking 17,000 as to-day's estimated arrivals, the total for the week is 132,400 head, witii 1 000 expected next week, Charl loy W predicts 200,000 hogs being received during the remainder of this month and over a million for next month, There were no new features in October pork.

While prices wera irregular, with & fow stocks at better figures, the general list showed slight declines. The market railied immediately, and while stocks of the regular list were dull, they all made small fractional gains, In early dealings the feature of the warket was Cotton Ol, which was not only extremely active, but displayed decided strength, and after opening at 42)7, against 405 last evening, it rose rapidly to 435 Sugar followed with an advauce o“w] 1889, cent to 79, but tho upwitd movoment was then checked and most 6f' the improvement was lost, the regular list showing more ani- mation on the decline, Coal stocks were spocially prominent in the Sownward move ment and Lackawanna /reached 142, against 143 last evening, but was fairly rivaled by Rock Island, which dropped to 963 from 08, During the hour o noon thero was an im- proved feeling and a fair rally ocenrred in Conlers, Grangors and specialties, Rock Island recovered a point from the bottom, St. Paul recovered %{, Missouri Paciflc 3 and Union Pacifiie, Burlington and Northwestorn 1§ per cent each, Northera Paclfic touched © on the dip and rallied to 7 Jersey Central was off 2 points to 122'¢, and DPull- man off 2'g to 134 The weekly bank state- ment showed an increase of &1,625,000 ia re- serves and was the cause of better feeling at the close.

A contribufor to the Scotman says that in the official list of voters in a Scotch ing town oceur such ‘‘to-names” as *“‘Deadl “Den,” *Cock,” “Tost, § dyke,” ‘‘Helen’s James,” and so on. Such appellations as those are not noc- ossarily nicknames, as we understand them. Sometimes they are patron mics, sometimes thoy refer to individ- ual occupations, sometimes they are personally deseriptive, sometimaos they are mere identifications, “signifying nothing.” Occasionally they are simple varia- tions upon a single christinn name. Thus, it may be, one John Bruce, pop- ularly called “.hn'k," has o son named William, who becomes *“Jock's Wull.” His son, again, who is called William becomes “Jock’s Wull's Williamie,” while the last named’s son, if also called William, Dbecomes ‘“Jock’s Wull’s Williamie’s Wullsie.” A further forn is *“Waullsikie,”” but that, pi rarely used. The systom still obtains in Scotland, and if it were introduced into this country it micht prevent some of the confusion which at present exists among our Johu Smiths, Thomus Browns and William Robinsons. -t Herculean strength Continually on the strain, or overtaxed at in- tervals, is far less desirablo than ordinary vigor perpetuated by rational diot and oxer- cise, and abstention from. excess. Profes- sional pugilists aud athletes rar attain ex- tremo old age. As ordinury vigor may be retained by a wise regard for sanitary 1ivi and for the protection a timely and judicious modication afford also 1t may be lost through long sedent labor, uniuterrupted mental strain, and fool- ish eating and drinking, tho chief and most immediate sequence of all four being dyspep- sia. For this condition thus, or in any way induced, and for ite offspring, a failure of muscular _and nerve power, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the primest and most genial remedy. Not only indigestion, but loss of flesh, apbpetite and sleep are remedied by it. Incipient malariaand rheumatism are banished, and kidney, bowel and liver com- plaint removed by it. Remembars [is Murdered Master, Tn 1884 Sergeant Malloy, who acted as police se nt at the Soldiers’ home at Tagus, Me., was shot while in the discharge of his duty. He owned a large Newfoundland dog, which was an inseparable companion, and was with him at the time of the shooting. The dog would have torn the murderer in pieces but for the interference of other inmates, and ever since the animal has displayed peculiar symptoms at tho time of funerals. Whenever a burial is to take place at the home and the band begins to play the dead march, the dog will hide among the bushes until the first volley of musketry is fired over the grave, when he will rush upon the flr- ing squad with overy symptom of mad- and it is with the utmost difficulty t off. No matter what the weather, the big Newfoundland at- tends every funeral at the home, ana he has not missed one gince the burial of his murdered master in 1894, paen Sl e Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy.
