THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY. OVEMBER 4, 1889, IN TRADE AND COMMERCE. The Weekly Review of Iron and Other Metals. DEALERS ARE WELL PLEASED, A Strong Tone Existing in Nearly All Departments With Trade Very Fair—Groceries Quiet— Dry Goods Moderate. The Bosiness Situntion, Bogron, Novg 8.—The firm tone to the situation on iron still continues. There has ‘been no material change in prices during the ‘week, but the advance of last week has been well sustained. The dewand is consider- ably better and a good fair trade 1s re- ported. There Is nothing new to report in the way of exporting iron. Several large blocks bave been sent to Mexico and Canada and considerable is to bo sent to Eogland, Con- sumors are anxious buy to but there is no iron offering at present. The situation ap- gonrs to be wholly in the hands of thé sellers. 'hose who have first cluss stock to deliver Wwithin the next 70 days are very indiflerent and are refusing 1o sell ay less than §15 for No.1X, 817 for No. 2 X, or $16 for gray forge, Some southern brands are quoted at s0c@si under these prices, but the mukes that con- sumcrs secim content to take are extremely difticult to obtain for delivery this and the kinds that figures quoted are mainly those that ure taken only when buyers ‘have o alterna- iy but to put up with that class of iron. The demand for pig iron continues fully as active as lust week and is much better than at any time during the past year. Most of the leading makes of Ohio iron are practi- cally out of the market, furnace men having no more to sell. Peunsylvania iron peovlo have only hight stocks. They are weil sold ahead for ordinary in 1300 atadvanced prices. Dealers still find it difticult to get thew fu nace purchases delivored and also to buy suppiies, ‘l'iue furnaces are running to their full cavacity, and notwithstanding the fact that the output this year will bo the largest ever kuown, tho large production will be completely absorbed. Soutnern iron con- unues very strong with a good movement, and prices are tending higher, Western wwon 18 fivmer. There is nothing doing in Scotch iron, but the market holds firm. A Teport that at Glaswow ring war another juwp from 58s 84 to 00s, with a farther rise expected, There is a gond and considerably improved demand for bar iron, and the market is very firm, The strong tone to the foreign market is responsiblo to a certain degree for the strong tone to the murket bere. A sale of 550 tons al an advance over previous prices 1s re- ported, and buyers aro anxious to secure more at the same price, but sellers prefer to hold off for a little while. Ordinary bars are firm at §1.85 from mill, and at $1.90 from store. The best burs are very firm at §2.25 from mill and av $2.35 from store, It is un- derstood that the mills west are thoroughly sald up on this class of fron, und tnat orders for near delivery canuot be placed there av any price. Norway and Swedish irons are very strong und prices are steadily advano- ing. Producers are sold way ahcad into next year. The price on Swedish bars is around 70, but holders are not avxious to sell ut that price, some asking as high us $75. Steam piping and plumbing supplies aro in & firm position, with the miils well supplied with orders. Hoiler tubes also hold steady. The steel market in all its branches con- tinues firm, and full prices are bemng ov- tained. New York reports say ttat a sule of 4,000 tons has been made at less than §32 at a Pittsburg mill within 8 week’s time, and there seoms also some reason to believe that, while generally quoting $32 as their price, some eastern concerns would do a shado better on desirable orders. Steel billots and slubs arenow quoted at $38 at Pittsburg, and at corresponding prices in other locali- ues. ‘Lhere is a good demand here for steel rails, ahd heavy sales are reported at $33. The market on billets and rods is very strong. The Washburn-Moen Co., of Wor- cester, ara reported to have bought $20,000 worth of rods and wire this week. Tank plates are still yery firm from the mills, and the general situation for both steel and iron plates is strong. Sheet iron Tolds firm, and sales are active at full prices, Blacksmiths’ supplies are steady. No transactions are reported ‘in old rails here, and the market is quiet and nominal. In New York there have been reports of alleged sales of old iron flange rails at $26 upward, for future shipment from abroad, but no traces of buyers at any such price could be found. Telegrams from Pittsburg state that business has been done at §26 there, and a local holder of rails in the south reports having -sold at §26 delivered to mill at a considerable aistance. ‘The highest bona fide bids that could be discovered in the market were $25@25.25 f. 0. b. cars at Jersey City. Old iron is firmer, with No. 1 wrought quoted at 85¢ for well selected lots, The nail market holds firm thoffigh un- changed from last week. For building iron there is a good demand at firm prices. Copper is quiet, but very steady. The bid for 1,000,000 1bs of lake at l1c, which was rumored yesterday, is not credited. The business of the market is confined to small lots, which cousumers are buying ns they need supplies, Lake copper is steady at 1lc and casting brands at 10c. The London mar- ket was quoted firm to-day at £43 2s 6d for spot and £43 158, with sales of 300 tons spot and 500 tons futures. Lead is dull, and the impression provails that the prices are going 10 be lower. The market on tn is firmer, and looking better than for & year. Prices in London have advanced £5 within thirty days. Sales of several hundred tons aro re- ported this weok. The market on spelter 18 firm, though there 18 no important move- ment, Zinc remains stoady. In teas the market holds fairly steady, with prices strong. ‘There 1s more inquiry for the better grades on oolongs. Congo teas are holding their own and tbe improve. ment noted last week 1s well sustained. A cable from China this week states that at Amoy there is a very light stock of Formosa and Amoy oolongs. Prices of Formosas have advanced a little over the quotations cabled the previous weck, The market there javery firm, with @ great scarcity of teas rading over superior. Exchange in London s also advanced. Low grade teas are gen- erally dull, with no change to note ni prices. ‘The coffee trade is still ruling quier, with prices only fairly steady, The better grades are in steady demand at full quotations, but other grades are dull and easy. Exchange 18 u little easier, on uccount of the fuvorite condition of the crop. Low grades have de- clined about e, There is still a moderate movement in dry ods, but the general condition of the market flouol materially changed, Buyers are not operating very oxtensively on tho spot, but & fair amount of mail and wire orders are being recewved. ‘The demand is principally for scasonable goods, most of the orders being duplicates. Some business is also being done in goods for future delivery, but this hus assumed no proportions of any size yet, The demand for cotton goods 18 fairly active and prices hold firm. The !eading makes of both brown and bleached cot- ton cloths are selling well. Stocks continue light avd prices firm. Jobbers are doing a moderate business in cotton goods, but are buying only as they need supblies, Sheet. ings are selling fairly, us are also flannels. Bleached cottons ure still considerably called for. There is @ fair trade being done in prints, but commons are dull and easy. Specialties in the way of wide prints continue in steady demand and closely sold up. Woolen goods are quiet und unchanged. Cas- simeres hold fairly firm, though seasonably quiet. Ieorders still constitute the princi- al business in cassimeres, Jobbers are hav- n‘l 00d demand for flannels, and values hold firm. Dress goods are moving fairly.

The Many Uses to Wnich They Can Be Converted, Laxorr, Wyo,, Oct. 25. —~In my last letter 1 stated that oil was found in very large quantities in the lower sand of the Dakota Group, leaving the reager to think that this was the lastand only sands in which large quantities of ofl was found or could be found. As explained in that letter, “the depth of the oil depends upon the physical conditions of each and every basin or portions thereof.” I have fonnd immense flow of oil emanating from the jurasic formation which underlies the Dakota in a largs majority of cases throughout the Wyoming oli flelds, In places where the Dakota does not seem to exist, we are not quite clear as to why it has disappeared, or why that formation was not regularly deposited throughout this flela as ina great majority of its area. It has been suggested that duringthe glacial period it has been cut off, leaving the jurasic which underiying it retained all the oil of the once upper stratta. Let this be as it may, it demonstrates the fact that at almost any point on the oil belt oil can be obtained at various depths und in various formations, and it is now frequently expressed, by those who have studiea the field mostly by the practical use of the drill, that there are good grounds for at least five horizons or tive oil sands, each sand containing a grade of oil having a different market value and useful in themselves, When combined and treated a8 n whole, there s centralized in this com- pination @& result that can oniy be found from the combined oils of the new and old world. However ex- tensive this idoa may seem to the casual readeror the ordinary o1l expert, theso fa have been quoted to tho writer for the past six years ns to the great value of these oils, by advanced chemists and oil refining ex- perts and others who have surveyed and distilled oils of both worlds, and know whereof they speak. From these oils ean bo distilled the finest table oils in use. The best olive oils will be made from Wyoming petrolenm. It is sus- soptible of making a fine alcohol as well as the finest extracts now used in any well regulated culinary department. o the chemstthis field promises the richest of re- search, and to the capitalist the greatest boom and reward of merit. With these facts staring us m the face, coming from practical tests in the fiald and not from visionary theorists, droamers or claivoyants, what better or stronger ovi- dence do metropolitan cities like Omaha, Denver or Portland want than a pipe iine to limits, to manufacture its crude material into all the mercantile commodities, of which itis susceptible, the crude material to be used as fuel or gas, and macy other ways of userulues.

In no case is the folly of violence in medi- cation more conspicuously shown by its fruit than in the effect upon the intestines of excessive purgation. The stomach and bow- els avo first painfully griped, then tbe latter 18 copiously, suddenly and repeatedly evacu- ated. This 18 far beyond the nccessities of the case, most unnatural, excessively debili- tating. ‘The organs are incapacitated from resuming their function with normal moder- ation. An astringentis resorted to which reduces them to their former condition of inaction, To this monstrous and harmful absurdity, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is appy alternative. It relaxes gently, y, suliciently, it diverts bile from the blood into its proper channel, it insures healthful digestion and complete assimila- tion. It is a cowmplete defense against malaria, and conquers rheumatism, neural- gia,nervousness, kiduey and bladder trouble.

Hoffman, of 39 Manjer street, Brooklyn, had the misfortune some ears azo tolose her nose. The support- ng bone which gave it shape was en- tirely consumed by disease. To-day, says aNew York dispatch, I, L. R. Teta- more, curator of the Long Island hospi- tal, cut the sunken skin where the nose once was and inserted the breast-bone removed from a chicken., He left at- tached to the bone the outer cartila- genous filament and the periosteum. These he sewed to the flesh of the nose, and over the bono drew s portion of the peridsteum cut from the forehead of the woman. The breast-bone of a fowl was used bevause it gave proper shape to the nose, If it does not of it~ self take root and grow, the doctor ex- pects that it will assist in the formation of a natural bone. This is the first ex- periment of the kind. Two months will be necessavy to determine its success. Leavenworth —— Miles' Nerve and Liver Pills, _Au importaut discovery.

COUNTRY AND CITY BORROWERS, A Shght Decrease In Olearings Ow- ing to Bad Weather—Goneral Trade Reporied as Being Fairly Good. In Loceal Commercial Oiroles. Bankers report the money market in about the same condition this week as last. There is a very good supply available for all legitimate purvoses, with a fair demand from the city and an active ono from the country. Cattle men in Nebruska will re- auire a great deal of monoy this winter, as foeding will be carried on upon a much Iarger scale than for many seasons, and this money will not be released by the shipment and sale of the cattle and sheep till January and Feoruary. The clearings, as reported by Mr. Hughos, manager of the clearing house, foot up $4,050,030.03, o decroaso of 1310 ver cont, trade having baen slightly affccted by the stormy weather provalent during the week. Rates are$ to 10 per cent, for prime puper. General trade is fairly good and jobbers and manufacturers express satisfaction with the results of the year to date, as a rule, Lumber and hardware men have more to complain of than others, though boot and shoe dealers think business might have been better without tiring them unduly. Grocery and dvy goods jobbers have had a very good season and sales are somewhat in ex- coss of last year at this a The chie! matter of worriment with the grocers is the uvsottied condition of the sugar market and its deolining tondency. The trust seoms toave lost its grip and Mr. Sproctels action, or ratner Jack of action, indicate that ho is wclined to pose as a sphinx for a time at least. Ko gives no sign of entering the market as a buyer of raw. sugar and it is currently reported that he will not begin oporations till next month, but he may start up next week, and it is this un- certainty as to tho futuro of production that bothers jobbers and they aro taking only what they need for daily supplios and, us i rule, losing money on all the sugar they sell, The same cond n of affairs prevails at the east and 1o the raw sugar market, and the depression extends to Kurope, where reports as to the condition of the beet crop ara of a favorable character. It s said that M. Licht will foreshadow au increase of 150,000 tons of beet sugar in his next estimate. New York quotations for refined sugars when exported, less drawbacks, are: cut loaf per 100 pound ubes per 100 pounds, $1.08; crushed per 100 pounds, $.51; powd- ered per 100 pounds, $i81; granulated per 100 pounds- $4.43. Roasted Rio coffees declined '4c per 1b this weels, and the market1s depressed and un- settled. 'L he New York Shipping List suys of Brazil coffee: The [ree sales roported inour last, followed by farther conflicting crop ecially those emanating from the of last week, have had an un- settling and depressing effect upon the mar- ket, aud such business as has transpired has been accomplished at a further reduction in prices. An analysis of the cables to hand would secm to indicate that the growing crop, notwithstanding the vicissitudes of the season,, is in a more favorable condivion than ' has hitherto been supposed, though it is of course too eacly to foretell what the final outcome Is to be until the season has progressed far enough to ena- ble the formation of some definite idea as to the maguitude of the erop, therefore a cou- tinuance of confusing cable reports, usually incident to mere weather markets will be in order. A further depressing influence has been the receipts of firm offers at still lower figures, and several sales have been effected as low as 14.85 cents cost and freight for No. 7. The demoralizing iniluence of this business was most apparent yesterday , and accounts for the general-drop in options and general foeling of unecasiness with which tho market closed. The invoice sales re- ported since our last have been as follows: 1,500 bags Rio, Nos. 6, 7 and 8 at 157 cents, cost and freieht; 2,000 do No. 7, 15 c. £. ; 1,000 do No, 8, 14 ¢. 1.3 1,000 do do No. 7, 14.85 c. f, Rio cables do not indicate any material change in the statistical position of supplies, the receipts at Rio being moderate, as heretofore, whilst at Santos they continue large. There has heen no appreciable change in stocks, The confusing character of private cables may be gathered from the fact that whilst firm offers resulted in sales at 14.85 cents cost and froight, Bhipps’ dis- patch quoted the same grade 1537 cents. The dispatch from James Matthews & Co., that has had so unsettling an influeace, i3 as follows : ‘Judging from the blossom and the ondition ot the trees generally, we put forward the fol- lowing preliminary estimato Rio crop. Re- freshing showers and intervals of sunshine are greatly benefitting the growing crop. he blossom is exceptionally luxuriant, and gives promise of a large crop, the hillside es recovermg rapidly. The blossom is ant and promises 4 good crop for nexu season, Estimate next crop at about four million bags. In Santos the blossom over all coffee-growing districts is of a most magnificent character, and gives prom- ise of a very large crop. Kstimate next crop at about three and one-quarter million.’ The local jovbing demand has continued moderate, country buyers showing the same feeling of hesitation in replenisning their stocks that is displayed by dealers in this market, The option market has been fairly active, but has reflected the same general feature noted above, the shorts have taken advantage of the weak influences to increase the outstanding short interest, and thereby hammer the market. The closing prices last evening show & net decline since last Friday of 70 points for November and 65 points for all other months, The market left off barely steady. ‘The total visible supply of Brazil coffee in warehouse and afloat for the United States was on October 3) last, 9 bugs. October 80, 1858, 1t wus 495,054 bags, and 'November 1, 1887, it was 471,737 bags, and the visible supply of the world October 1, 1830, was 8,114,272 bags, against 2,607,474 bags October 1, 1888, Mild coffees are quiet and unchanged. The produce market has been fairly active tho pust week, Fancy and choice butter is firm at quotations, Dressed poultry has bean in small aupply and the demand good. Ro- ceipts of oggs and game are light and the market is stiff at ruling quotations. Potatoes and onlons are in stronger request for strictly first class stock. 'he tirm of Parrotte, Scripps & Co., whole- sale hats and caps, successors to W. L. Par- rotte & Co., began business November 1. [n the course of an article on the outlook for sugar, the New York Commercial Bul- letin remarks that hostility to the trust has led buyers to give preference to outside re- fluers whed ¢ conditions of cost permit- ted. Further, Philadelphia refiners have rotected their customers in allowing re- ates upon unsold stocks as prices declined, ‘T'his the trust bas refused. So far as can be discovered from the methods practiced the trast has simply managed to make a market that brings loss to itself and advantage to its competitors, with the situation the more ageravated in view of the announced opeu- ing of the Spreckels refluery atan early date. There is a firmer market for dried apples, owing to the increased exports. Ove 16,000,000 pounds of dried apples were ex- ported from the United States to foreign countries during the first nine months of 1850, But little ovor 5,500,000 pounds were shipped during the corresponding perioa last ear.

Catie Saturday, Nov. 2. There wors only twolvo Inads of cattle on to-day’s market but eightoon, ioads were re- ported to arrive late and wore nounted in the receipts, although they did not arrivo in time for the market. Cattle good enough 10 suit tho packers sold quite readily, tives bringing £3.56@4.95 and westarns $2.75 @3.00. Tho half fat stuff, cattle that are be- twoen grass and corn, to0 good for feoders and barely good enough tor killers, are very siow sulos. The holdors of such_havo found it very hard work even to get & bid, The supply of feeders and stockers was made up largely of northern cattlo and the trade was slow.

CORN BUSINESS OF FAIR VOLUME The Usual Satarday Qaletness Pre- vails in the Proviston Fit—Hogs in Fair Demand and Prices Steady. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Cnicaao, Nav.2.—[Special Telogram to Tie Brr.]—There was nothing significant in to- day’s trading in the wheat pit. Business is largely local or professional in its character, though of course commission houses are in receipt of their usual daily budget of orders, based on the country movement. The mar- ket was rather dull as a whole and fluctua- tlons were confined to a narrow range: Ca- bles were not influential as a factor n the day’s trafiic, looking neither one way or the other very hard. In addition to yesterday's export business, New York reported five or six boat loads, Export clearings from At- lantic ports for the weck include 270,000 bushels of wheat, 264,000 barrels of flour and 1,500,000 bushels of corn. Stuft is going out of the country steadily, though not in large enough volume to come up to expectations, The intorior move- ment keeps up amazinely, however. Re- ceipts at all points named in our regular tables for the first five days of the week foot up 4,744,545 bushels, against 7 bustiels for the corresponding period last year, and shipments were 1,021,004 bushels, against 0,446 bushels. Another big increase in the visible supply is expected, somewhere 2,000,000 or 2,500,000 bushels, prot year for the corresponding week the visible increased 218,000 bushels. In the face of this big movement from first hauds the bears feel confident that a maintenance of valucs upon the existing basis will be a difli- cult feat. Nevertheless, prices are mai tamed in spite of unfriondly the- ories and criticism, Trading in De- cember began this morning at with May at 833%c. Sales were mudo at 80c and 8387%c respectively, but the market yielded to 793c and 88 This proved the bottom, The bulk trading during the forenoon was around 79@i0%c for Decem- ber and §23¢@s3c for May. The majority of those who had been conspicuous on the buy- ing side of late had some wheat for sale, and Hutchinson, Smith and others who' are classed as ' bears, were the principal open buy It looked like an ‘‘evening up’ day. The ageregate dealings were probably below the average. November left off at 814¢, December at T03@i07¢c and May at o¢c—a shade lower ail around than yester- day. The weather is getting foul. " It s snowing and vaining in the far west and southwest, raining in the central west and suowing and blowing great guns in the northwest, with indications of snow in_ thslocality. This sort of thing will tend to put the ground in good shape, *‘productively speal ing,’ but it will tend to check the count movement of the cereal. What influence this will have on prices remains to be seen. The receipts of corn were close to the csti- mates made yesterday, so no change in values could b based ‘on that fact, and for Monday 240 curs was the estimated quautity. This is about the recent moderate average, and is not indicative of heavy reserves of old corn, which ave generally claimed to be in existence. The weather was still reported wet over considerable territory in the west, which imported a modicum of firmness into the early dealings, which was overshadowed later, however, by a falling off in the de- mand for cash offerings and lower prices at which the latter were selling. Trading was fair in voiume, but mainly local 1n character. The closing prices were 51}4¢ for December and 831,@531¢o for Ma; The oats market wus more quiet than dur- ing the three preceding days, with only a fair speculative business, chiefly in May. The receipts fell below the estimate by twenty-six cars, and with rather small offer- ings on future account the market averaged firm, with May at 217%¢@22¢, and that bid later, Nearer months woro neglected, with December muproving to 193@i9' ¢, and this month slow at 18%cusked, A fow cars of No. 2 to go to store_sold at I8¢ and the withdrawals were decreased to 67,252 bush- els. Some January was changed to A at 2lgc difference. In the market for provisions there was quite u trade early, especially in mess pork, but after 11 o’clock and up to adjournment the usual Saturday quiet prevailed. The monthly stock statement did not vary essentially from the estimate of the quantity of the different kinds of the pro- duct on hand, except as to tho item of ribs, which footed' up less than expected. Asa result November ribs advanced 10c 1 the face of a decline on deferred delive One feature of the day was a breuk of 271/¢ y in November pork, or from $9.40 1o ;. It sold at one vime at a discount of per barrel on January. One pressure to sell during the first hour amounted almost d, and the rally from the inside fig- ure was not as prompt or decisive as the break had been. The reaction was occa- sioned more by rather general covering by shorts than by investment buyinz. As on the previous days of the week, outside or- ders were very light both ways. Local sen- timent is, if anything, more bearish and tho packing ‘crowd more disposed to seil the whole list than noted previous to the last ceport of stocks. The undertone of the murketi@for lara was relatively firmer than for pork and ribs, fluctuations in prices for this article being very narrow. Specula- tion in lurd was under the average, Foreign markets were reported quiet for both lards and meats and the N Yorlk Jard market. was easy for near deliveries, Hog receipts ptinue larger at all points in the west than or the corresponding persod one week ago and prices here to-duy for raw material wero about stead; The closing quotations for future deliveries were 7}4@1734c lower than yesterday for pork, unchunged for lard, 10c higher for November ribs and easiér for more distant months. Cash sales reached a larger aggregate than have been reported any day this week. CHICAGO LIVE STOCK, Cmcaao, Nov. 2.—[Special Telegram to Tue Bee)— CATILE—The receipts were di- vided at 1,000 natives and 2,000 rangers ande Texans. Th eV was scarcely two loads of good natives among the arrivals, and Mr. Morgan a well known buyer of export stecrs, left the maurket early on account of being unable to find what would suit his trade, Common and medium, every day sort of steers sold slow and the general market closed lower and unsettled on everything but extra and priwe natives. Texans wer closed out at about the lowest prices this season, especially'on cows and canning stock, Native butchers' stock, particularly old and emaclated cows, are also the lowest for the season, Choice to extra beeves, §.40 (@4.90; medium to good steers, 1350 o 1500 1bs, $3.80@4.80; 1200 to 1350 lbs, #3.40@ 410: 00 to 1200 lbs, $27503.75.

Western rangers, $2.40@3.50, Hoo demand was fair and prices steady on packing and heavy, a fow lots sel- ling early at a shade stronger prices, but the bulk sold right around the same as yester- day and 80 closed. Light sorts sold ‘at an advanes of be from the opening to the close. Packers paid $2.05@3,60 for odds and ends, £.50@B.90 for straight loads—a cent at $3.80—and shippers paid § Light sorts sold at $4.00@1.15. _ New York, Nov. pecial Telegram to Tue Hee)—Stocks—Expressions on the street and at the resorts did not tend to help matters much at the opening of the stock warket to-day.

The market was & continuation of that of yesterday, trusts aud Missouri Pa- cific monopolyziug attention, whi'e all three were specially weak. The opening of the market \was gonerally steady to firm, and the weneral list 1n the early trading presented a strong front, but tho depression in the threo lending stocks was soon felt ina drooping tendency, while movements in the list were entirely without significance, Cotton Oil opened i per ocent lower at 23 and rapidly declined to 81, at which point some support was met, and it rallied to 82%. Lead opened unchauged at 193 and declined 1 por cent, Which was afterward recained, but Chicago gas drovped 11§ to 52. Missouri Pa- cific opened 'g per cent lower at 63% and de- olined to 60'¢, rallying & small fraction.
