6 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Oorn Opened Strong, Advanced Quickly and Olosed at a Fractional Gain. WHEAT QUIET WITH PRICES FLUCTUATING An Onts There Wasn Stendy Rise and Prices Closed at the Top- tinued Dull withan Ribs—Stoeks and 13 rovisions © Advance in Onicaco, Sept. 8.—The activity in the corn pit today would have created the im pression that there was a big market, but at no time was there a broad market on which much corn could be sold, exceptata dis count or bought except at a premium. The opening was very strong. The Kansas au- thorities made a statement that the con tion had fallen off 10 points during August it the best corn section of the state. This wasa pointer to what other states with even less rain might show. The govern- ment report is due next Monday at the latest, and on the theory that this may be +very bullisn, tho trade bid prices up very quickly. Liverpool was ;d up on spot corn. Yesterdny’s shipments were 500.000 bu. aud 1 to offset the big receipts, With- Als were 283,000 bu, ‘There was heavy ee trading last night and Logan & . and others made a rush at buying carly, presumably to make the calls zood. On the advancet ¢hwartz putouta further shortline and he now, it is said, stunds to lose on pos- ibly 1.000.000 bu. The weccipts continue ery heavy, much to the surprise of the bulls. The receipts reached 703 cars, and the estimates for Saturday are still larger AL The market opened with Ji@le advance, but soon_afterward worked ‘down ¢, rallied later 3@ ¢e, ruled unsettled on i threatening in the west, and at the close had gained 5@ Whent was rather quiet. The market at the opening was about !¢ higher than yes- terday’s closing, advanced lgcor so more, then became weaker and ‘prices declined 3 @iq anced e, fluctuated frequently within % range, then advanced lje, or to top figures, cased off, ard the close was about 3 @!yc higher than yesterday. The firmness was attributed partially to strength in corn, though the strong cable in the face of lower markets, had a favorable im- pression on the market. The Kansas state burean, which estimated the crop at 19,000,- 000 bu., against an cstimate of 21,000,000 bu. ed on the government percentages of last month, and _a 70,000,000 bu. crop of last year had some effect, as did also the fact that New York canceled some more bank certi- ficates, Oats opened 1{@!¢c higher, advanced 3@ 5¢c more and closed at about the top. There Was another uninteresting, dull day added to the long list recorded, in the provision market. What little business was done was confined to ribs, which closed at an advance of 7ige for September, 1715¢ for October and unchanged for January. Fstimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 130 cars; corn, 775 cars; oats, 200 cars; hogs, 15,000 head.

STOCKS AND BOADS, Prices Were Depressed nt the Opening, but Murket Closed Strong. ew York, Sept. 8, —The depression which ruled on the Stock exchunge yesterday was reflected this morning at the opening by vhe heaviness in the dealings, which was felt throughout the entire list with onc excep- tion, New York & New England, in which a strong buying movement was developed on the strength of & report that the company s about to gain an entrance into New York City. Chicago Gas, which led the downward movenient, was unfavorably affected by the announcement of the authorization of an issue of §10,000,000 of bonds by the People’s Gaslight and Coke company. The pressure to sell the stock of this compauy was so great at the opening that sales were mude in the ring at 50 and 63 simultaneously, and 1,200 shares were sola_before the quota: tions could be regularly recorded, and within the first ten minutes the price had dropped to B0i¢, a decline of 84 per cent from last night's closing. The break in this stock had an effect to weaken the other industrials and the rmlway list sympa- thized to no small extent. But while some of the bears were trying to lower prices, an- other seclion was endcavoring to cover at the lowest quotations ruling, and during the morning there were temporary rallics which led up toa decidedly strong marke, in the afterncon. The chauge from weakness to strength was gradusl and was ov/ing to a very general belief that the natural re. action from un extraordinary bull market was but & precursor of a still further ad- vance, he situation was materially strengthened by reports that the bank statement to be is- sied tomorrow would be most favorable and would show a large increase in cash, a good gain in reserve, which would give the banks once more a surplus instead of a deficiency. Reports that the ocash receipts of the banks from out of town exceeded the shipments tended, too, to add 10 the feeling of confidence in the stability of the money market and was a factor on the bull side of the securities market. The lower range of values brought into play good many orders to buy at certuin stated figures and the bull element entered into the market again with vigor, the result bewy that before noou prices began to mount with even greater rapidity thau they had pre- viously descended. icago Gas, after the flurry of the morn- ing, fluctuated upon much narrower quota- tions, but gained steadily snd at 2 o'clock had advanced to a poins 1 per cent above the opening, subsequently selling up 8 per cent higher, elosing at a reaction of i per cent, makiug a gain on the day of § per cent. General Electric fell off 1 per cent, rosv 41 aud closed 28, per ceut higher than esterday. Sugar was remarkably well | eld. The other stocks which made the THE_OMAHA DA greatest advances in the day's business were: Laxe Shore, 8¢ ; Western Unfon and New York & Now England, 2; Delaware & Hudson and Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg, 2145 Manhattan Consolidated, 8ig; Cordage 8155 Tobacco, 2, and the rest of the active Lint @19y, The Post says: As the reports come in of the net carnings of the railways for July and the gross earnings for August a pretty clear idea may be obtained of the proportion in which thadifferent sections of the country have suffered from the rocent trade paraly- The returns show clearly that the worst of the trouble was experienced in the districts lying between the Missouri river aud the Rocky mountains. The granger country was the next heaviest sufterer, the southern interior states the next,while east- ern traffic generally makes on the wholo a very gratifying comparison, The sectional distribution of bank failures alone, of which the necessary consequence was a general check to trade, hus led to the same con- clusions, The recently computed table of bank exchanges during August showed the decrease from last year to be 26 per cent in the eastern and middle states, 38 in the northwesg, 40 in the southwest and 47 in the far west. The news of the revival of busi- ness in these sections is of peculiar interest.

Reduction of Levies Under the Present Councilmanic Finance Committee. Somewhere within the laws governing cities of the metropolitan class is a provision that in October the city council shall sit as a board of equalization for five days for the purpose of equalizing the valuations and as- sessments for the anuual general levy of taxes. The councils have complied with this requirement each year and did so last yea! An observer of the proceedings of the present council, from the time D. H. Whecler has been chairman of the commit- tee on finance, might naturally infer that the fathers were weekly sitting as a board to approve of the equalizations suggested by that gentleman. Not in the history of previ- ous councils has there been such a ‘wholesale cancellation and reduction of levies, and there seems to be no indication that it is to end soon, The cancellations and reductions iclude assessments on both real and per- sonal property, and the aggregate is grow- ing to such proportions that it threatens to bankrupt the general fund of the city. Since the 1st day of Junuary the council has either canceled or reduced assessment valuations upon both real and personal prop- erty to the amount of nearly $100,000. The figures at hand show that such is'the case, and that the amount will fall but a very few dollars short of that sum. This_représents in taxes over £4,000, upon a 44-mill levy. A majority of the taxes canceled or valuations reduced are for this year's assessment, although some date back to 1889, Included 1 the list is the Driving Park associntion, the valuation of which was £,745,20, the tax levy umounting to $153.50; a ' reduction of the valuation of the Standard Oil company from $20.- 175 to $10,3 United ates Wind Engine and Pump company from #2820 to i0; Carpenter Paper company for 1803 from $10.500 to $6,560; and for 1892 from $10,475 to §5,475; Or nt and Awaing company from &4, Reed company from Squitable Trust company of 12,0005 American Hand-Sewed Shoo company from $10,000 to 85,000, and o number of other in- stances, the amounts being smalle) The nts regarding taxes come be- council and are referred to the com- mittee on finauce, of which Wheeler is chairman. Ho investigates the comblaints and makes his reports to the council, and a resoiution signed by that gentleman geu ally accompunies the sawe, There is never any debate over a reduction or cancellation of taxes, and what the chairman of the finance committee says goes without ques- tion. Some of the councilmen have had their eyes opened to the fuct thut as the council sits euch year as a board of equalization, provi- ous to'the time that the levy®is made, thav then and there 1s the timoe for all complaints to be entered, and that they are growing weary of several such grievances being actod upon at regular sessions of the council.

A gasoline stove und a parlor match was the cause of a fire in Philip Nathan's second hand store, South Thirteenth street. Yesterday a hived hand was cleaning up some stoves in the pasement and was using gasoline. Unfortunately he stepped on n parlor mateh which had been dro; on the floor, and a good sized was the result. By the time the fire department had atrived the flames streamed up through the iron grating in the sidewalk and had ignited the awning, which burged rapidly. ‘e heat of the burning awaing caused one of the plate glass win- dows to break. ‘Ihe loss on the stock was light, about $100, while the loss to the build- ing, {ocluding the glass and the awniog, will amount to £1,200 st least.

What the Minneapolis Mills Have Been Downg for the Past Week, MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 8.—The Northwestern Miller says: The flour output last week was 187,415 barrels, against barrels the week before, and 186,150 barrels for the cor- responding time in 1892, The output this weel will probably touch the 200,000 barrel mark. Under the stimulus of higher wheat there has ocen an appreciable improvement in the demand for flour and millers arc strongly hoveful of doing a_betier business from this on, Buyers feel that prices are at bedrock ayd are more inclined to take hold, Last week probably as mich flour was sold as was ground. Wednesday and Thursday's prices were marked up and this at once checked trade. Yesterday and today some rties reported brisk buying again, Foreigners usually bid too low to promote trading. Low freight rates, both on land and oceen, have boen helping the millers out considerably, though the increasing cost of ash wheat is now largely swallowing up advautage. The dircct export ship- by the mills last week were 71,20 barrels, against 92,505 barrels the preceding week. ———r———y Piles of peopie have pues, out Dewitt's Witch Hazel Salve will cure them. S Sl Douglus County Crops. County Commissioner Williams has re- turned from the country where he has been for several days, lookivg after road and bridge matters. Mr. Williams state harvest is in full blast on the larg farmis along the Platte and the Elkhorn rivers, and that the crop is tho heaviest ever known. Hundreas of men are being wiven employment, but still there is a shortage of help, notwithstanding the fact that the work is easy and good wages are paid. Mr. Williams states that thi siderablo amount of the harye i ‘ by machinery, but that still there is work for more men than can be secured. The ma- chine for harvesting cucumber seeds is the latest device that has veen inl\l nted .m‘lllru( operation. Heretofore the cucumbers have becn sooded by hand, but this year the firms operating the secd farms have put in some machines, uny one of which will do th work of # dozen men. They operate upon the same principle as a corn sheller, the cumbers being thrown into a hopper, pussing between o set of knives and crushers, after which the pulp is carried off on an enaless apron, with the seeds falling iuto a barrel placed under the machine year & con ting is done 11" FASTENS ITS HOLD —upon you before you know it. 1t is sure to be in tho air we breathe, the water we drink.
