N M i N4 CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE! Collections at the End of tne montn Not Quite 8o Good., NONEY 1S BECOMING FAR MORE PLENTY Jobbers Generally Trade for the Balance Ketailers Must Have pects the Country. Antieipate t odst n Active Yoar as Tt can hardly be sald that the past week has seen uny very ereat change in the situa. tion as regards the jobbing trade of Omaha. Business revived menced to revive, about the first of the month, and gradually assumed farly large proportions and has now settled down to a steady thing. When business has about renched its normal conai- tion an Improvement cannot be looked for every weok, but it is ctough to ask that it hold its own. Business is probably as large now as could bo expected under the condi- tions prevailing in the country, though, tak- ing all linos together, the volume of trade is not up to what it was a year ago. It would be unreasonable, however, to expect that it would by car ago the conditions were all favora wndj everything tended to encourago liberal buying. The wholesalo trade of last fali was something phenomenal and two such seasons in succession could hardly bo expected. Comparing the presc, season Witl Lwo Vears ago no occasion w ve found for fault finding with the pr volume of business Jobbers in different lin ation from different points of view and hence itis nothing unusual o hear men equally well informed eive expression to di- ametrically opposed ideas. Some who look upon the darker side of the question point to the depression of the wool and silver indus- tries of the western states and estimate thut if they get 25 per cent of last year's business in those states they will be doing well. Th also point to the short crops in somo parts of Nebraska, and they do not see much encour- agement in South Dakota, 8o that they do not haye much hopes of muking up for the loss of business in the so-called silver states. On the other hand, jobbers who have traveling men in all ts of the territory, andare equally woll informed, say that there are a good many intorestss besidoe silver and wool " in the western states, and point to the agricultural and stock raising industries and main that in spite of the silver question thor going to be o good business in those states, The people, they figure, will have mone, enough at least to buy ‘all the necessiti “These sume jobbers also sayjthat while there have been short crops in some sections of Nebraska the state as a whole was never in better condition and they give vent to the same opinion as regards lowa and South Dakota. After hearing both sid it looks ve much as if the subject hinged on the ques- tion of necessitics and luxuries. The job- bers handling necessities have every reason for anticipating a good trade in all parts of the country tributary to Omaha, as there is no section where the people are too poor 1 buy all that they really them through the winter. the question of luxuries it is very doubtful if the volume of trade wiil compure with that of a year ago. Money is not so plenty as it was a year ago in the western states aud many of the so-called luxuries will have to bo left on the shelves of the merchant. Even if money was as plenty as it was a yoar ago the peopie of the country have been taught a lesson in economy that they will not forget for at least six months and there will be a nutural tendency to buy less freely for a while at least. This very tendency is being noticed at the present time by Omiha jobbers. Goods that sold freely a year.ago, but that are of such a nature (hat th 1 be dispensed with 1n case of a pinch, a ng slowly, and the re- talors, i placing,their orders, cut down the amount of such goods on their lists. This is evidently a scason when the jobber of ne- cessities will have the best of the trade. ‘The grocers during the past week have had a very active business and have had about all they could do to keep up with the orders. In proof of Ahis assertion one of the leading jobbers exhibited forty solid pages of orders as the work of one man on a three weeks trip in a section of the country that has been loudly advertised as **busted “The groce arket is very firm. The in- creased demand for goods “in the grocery line all over the country has raised vhe ideas of holders and the tendency is upward on the leading lines. “There wis o gond, steady trade in tho boot and shoe line all the weelk until Friday's rain gave more snap to business.

The dry goods business was at a standstill all sum- mer and dealers all over the west run their stocks down 1o the lowest nowh possible, They put off buying their winter goods past the usual tin and they are now forced o stock up again, and in o hurry t0o. As a re- sult the diy woods jobbers have done an enonmous business the past month.

Cnicaao, Sept. 30.—Rain and a big increase in the visible supply caused weakness in the wheat market today. That cercal closed '4¢ | under its valuo at the termination of Fri- day’s market. Corn was firm, but tho M future weakened and closed a small fraction lower. Oats were heavy and provisions dull but firm, Wheat at the opening was about ¢ lower than yestorday's closing, advanced Ige, fluctuated slightly and then declined from et lge, ruled quiet and élosed about go lower than yesterday. The export clear- ances from both coasts, though fair, were disappointing because they foll below the provious week's—being 1,287,000 bu. less than last week. Aunother weakening factor was the continued liberal recerpts in the northwest. The New York bank statoment, though very favorable, did not seem to help the market. The rain had a weakening influence, as it was benefical for seeding. The receipts at primary markets for the week were about 100,000 bu. larger than a week ago and the exports smallor, and on this basis it is estimated that tho visible supply will show an increase of about 1,250,000 1o 1,500,000 bu. on Monday. Corn started at yesterday's ol and under a fair demand, éspeci near futures, advanced from e to 9, re- acted from 1{e to J4¢, ruled firm and closed with fully %¢ gain. It was raining in most places in tho corn belt, and for a while 1t was thought the receipts at intertor points would be smaller. The elevator people, lod by Armour & Co. and Harvey & Co., were sellers of May. Oats held steady until near the close, when the weakness in other grains and tho estimates of 440 cars for Monday caused fair selling. Values receded from i@de and the market closed casy at the inside fig- ures. ‘The packers had the provision market to themsclves, Thero were but 6,000 hogs at the yards, and vhis gave a firmer feeling at the start. Then Iateley and the Anglo Packing company became buyers, evidently to establish » higher level of prices. The stocks of products aro expected to show very low on Monday, with a further decrease in all but ribs probable. It was claimed that the fact of the new regulation with reference to “piggy sows going into effect on Monday had a strengthening effect on the ground that it will cause a decrease of at least 10 per cent on the arrivals of hogs at all western markets. “reights were steady with a fair demand at from 215c to 215¢ for wheat and from 2¢ to 2ige for corn to Buffalo. timated receipts for Monday: Wheat, 200 cars ; corn, 940 cars; outs, 440 cars; hogs, 23,000 head.

'80.—The close on the Stock exchange was heavy, with a down- ward tendency. The first quotations made this morning were greatly in advance of a fraction, and in the early lhours, the figures moved upward. The buying, however, was mnot of a very strong character, and a raid was made on ;General Llectric, which drove that stock down from 423 to 403¢, and which was based mainly on the failure to obtain information as to the object of discussion at_yesterday’s mecting of the directors in Boston, coupled with the announcement that the question of dividend was not considered. There was a recovery of 1§ per cent at the close on the sale of 200 shares, making a net loss of 3§ per cent. Whisky was more zctive in the dealings and moved independently of the gencral list. An carly advance of 3§ per cent was lost before the shares came into demand and then on very brisk buying an advance was recorded of 15 per cent, which was followed by a reaction of 1i5 per cent and a final recovery of J; per cemt. The depres- sion in the stock was aue to denials of the reported action of the ways and means committee in the house increasing the spirits tax, and the purchases were based on a be- lief that the tax was certain to be raised, even though the committee had not as yet actually voted on the question. Sugar, which fluctuated between Wl and S8, closed at 89, a decline compared with yesterday's closing of 9 per cent. The rest of the active list moved within narrow limits, the closing compared with the last prices of yesterday, being a decline of 1% per cent in Reading and Omaha, and 1 per cent in Union Pacific and Northern Pacific, Among the specialties Toledo and Ohio Central rose 8 per cent; New York & North- ern, 2 per cent; Edison, 2 per cent, and National Cordage preferred, 1 per cent, while Oregon Short Line declined 1§ por cent and American Tobacco 1 per cent. The eneral market was depressed in the late caling and was weak at the close, The PostUsays: The loun committee of the clearing house cancelled today $310,000 loan certificates and called for Mon: £600.000, making the total cailed Monday, £720,000. Total outstanding, §23,075,000. The stock of silver bullion in the open market 18 not very large and the shipments have of late dacreased materially. This state of affairs is due to the closing down of the leading silver mines and no large addition to the supply is to be expected until the price of silver advances sufifciently to allow a pro- portion of mines to open operations again, Bar silver has advanced fiom 7315 to 74 dur- ing the week ending today. “T'he following are the closing quotations of the loading stocks on the New York ex- change tod; Atehison, Adams 2014 Nortl 5 |Nor.

The changes 1n the cattlo market the past week have been few and hardly worth noting. In quality the offerin have been but a repetition of the two or three preced- ing weeks, almost entitely westorns, and with g comparatively small proportion of beel cattle. Conaitions have not changed materially, and prices have been well sus- tained on all grades, while on desirable westerns there has been su advance during ek of 10¢ to 15c. he feeling hus been and continues strong, the demand calling for & good many more beef cattle than are at present coming. The market today was rather slow, not from any slackness in the demand, but on account of the inferiority of the offerings. Two or threo small buuches of good to choive 1,200 to 1,400 pound beeves were quickly picked up at from $.40 to $4.95 Western cattle sold at from .85 for Texans to $3.20 for fair 1,111 pound ldaho beeves. Although the trade was very quiet an early and com plete clearance of everything at all useful was offected. Cows sold fuily at good strong prices. Chere were perhaps twenty loads on sale, the quality generally commion, offeriugs be: ing very largely odds and ends. The de- mand “was as good us it has been all week and prices ruled any- where from 10¢ to ¢ high than at the close of last week. Fair to very good butchers’ cows sold at from &2 o £, 85, with fair to poor canners at from $1.05 down to 3L The calf market was weak on common and strong on good stock. prices ranging all the way from$l to . Rough sold about in the usual ruts, common to very fair bulls, oxen and stags bringing from $1.50 to §2. *In stociers and feeders there scemed to bo an easier feeling, but holders of good, smooth, fleshy stock experionced no difi’ culty 1 finding purchasers for the same at full strong prices. It was dull work when it came to tho common light grades. The recent drouth left pastures in poor shape for young cattle, and consequently tho demand for them is somewhat restricted. Prices have shown very little change all woek. Good to choice feeders are quoted at from to 83,50, fair to ood at from $2.75 to &3, with common and inferior stuff at around #2 and 82,50, RKepresentative Sules. DRESSED BEEF. Pr.
