=) PAGES. CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Dusiness Bitnation Not Much Changed 8ince & Week Ago. COLLECTIONS RATHER INCLINED TO DRAG Certuin Tines Show Unusaal Activity, but the Velume of Business on an Aver- Will fiardly Reach Last Senson's Total. The jobbing trade of Omaha is in pretty fair shapo, taking it as a whole, in spito of all drawbacks. As a rule the jobbers appear 10 be pretty well satisfled with the condi- tlons provailing at the present time, the situation boing fully as good as could be ex- pected under the circumstances. Of course Arade is not on an average what it was a year ago, but no one anticipated that it would he, In some lines of business, as dry goods, there is o very active domand and the local representatives of thav branch of the job- tmg trade have all that they can do to keep up with the orders that are pouring in from every direction. The retail merchants all over the state had run their stocks down 8o low that they were all in a hurry to stock up again as sooa as the fall trade started up. This has given the Omaha Job- bers of dry goods the largest Octo- ber business that they have ever had. It wotild no doubt have been more satisfactory 1f they could have had a portion of this trade a little earlier in the season. Reports from eastern markets would scem to indicate that there is ot very much activity in the dry goods circles. In the east they are com- platming about the scarcity of goods of some ines, caused by the closing down of the factortes. Tha grocery jobbers continue to receive a good liberdl patronage from western re- tailers and there have been some. very large bills sold the past week in addition to the regular round of orders. The grocery mar- ket js firm and advancing on coffees, dried frifts and cheese. Boots and shoes, clothing, hats, caps and gloves have all been in fair request during the week just closed, and the jobbers in these lines all report » fairly satisfactory business. The hardware trade, if anything, is im- proving, though buyers do not seem in- clined 'ta load up their shelves with goods that they do not unticipate an imn.ediate de- mand for. Colleetions are strongly inclined to drag ahd there 15 a good deal of complaint about vhe slowness of the country in meeting obli- gations. Every one is predicting thav money Wwill be easy and plenty in a short time, but ag.yet, there does not appear to be any great surplus of the medium of exchunge in circu- Iation. inthe country. The corn crop, how- ever, is still in the hands of farmers. The local retail trade is not very active as & general thing. . There is a strong disposi- 110n on the part of consumers to practice economy and to limit purchuses to the actual necessities. This state of affairs cannot continue forovor, as goods of all kinds are sooner oz later used up and have to be re- plenished. While there have been quite a good. many additional men put to work since the revival of the wholesale business and manufacturing industries of the city, there are stilla good many people secking em- ploymient and so long as thereare people in the eity out, of work tho retail trade is bound to suffer, The cléarings of the national banks of Omaha show a slight gain over the two previous weeks, indicating that business is graaually improving. As compared with a year ugo there is a falling off in the clearings amounting to 27 per cent. While this looks like a big drop it is below the average, which is.42 per. cent. for the whole conntry. Cities like New York, Minneapolis and Milwaukee have de('rls:ngd 87 per cent in tho arings, Denver 4 t. Paul 89, Portland 54, St. Joseph 80, and § City 59 per cent. 1t will be seen from this that Omaha is more thanholding her own as compared with the lnrgest cities east and west. Omaha bankers and business men who have been east, and have observed the couditions prevailing in other cities, express the opinion that business in Omaha has not suffered ns much as in other cities. This statement would seem to be borne out by the bank clearings. The following will show the clearings for each day of the past week, together with fhietotals for the two weeks previous: § 960.417.78 807,721 BT4,68; 536,08 Secrot of tho Depression Lies in the Un- Crensonanle Hourding of Money at Home, Mr. W. H. Roberson, Omaha manager for R, G. Dun & Co., speaking of trade for the week, say “Money matters are almost at a deadlock. have been surprised at the small number of people found in the banks transacting ‘business during tho past weelk. The point has been reached when business so far as transactions with banks ave concerned is almost at & standstill, Men are depositing very little money und nobody is borrowing. The banks have seen their deposits drop steadily since about the 1st of Mav lust and up to the midale of Septemver. They have eollected in their first-class paper, their second-class paper and their third-cluss paper quito largely, and have been making a few new loans. As a conscquence, whilo the banks | 1 average of 42 per cent cash in this gity, the charucter of their 10ans uncollectod is not by any means up to bankers' standard, and with tho contin- ued stri cy they areat a loss to Lnow just what to do for the immediate future. +] know this is strong talk, but it is truth. Some of the jubbing houses are able to ob- tain eastern money ut u low rate of interest. Omaha bankers would be glad to use their capitul if it were sufo to doso. It may be safe; it probubly is safe, but confidence has nOt been sufticiently restored to warrant any united action on their part looking to a re- lef of the moncy matters, It is wrong to blame the bankers for this coudition of things. They must look out for themselves and until the situation changes they will be obliged to stand stift against local de- mands for mone; “1 believe they can safely unite upon a line of action which would not ouly relieve their customers, but stimulate trade gen- erally. 1 am satistied that if the banks woulg unitedly determine upon liberal loans hundreds of versons who are now concealing their funds about their premises or in safety waults would return them to the legitimato ehannels of trade. 1t would aiso pus a stop %0 louns from outside parties who can readily obtain 10 per vent aud a bonus, but who would not have loaned sheir funds 10 business men if business men could have secured the o ry accommodatious at bank. The difficulty seews to be a sortof heart failure. Thero is nothing radically wrong witn this city, this state or Lhis country at . ‘The whole dificuity is in an imper- circulation. If money can bo put into the proper veins and arteries of trade and sent through the system by the stimulating influence of commerce, the whole situation - would be chavged and the convulescent b ul&ugl M She has would rapidly recover. y what Now York has dove! i about thirty-oight willions of her 3 wiilions of clearjng house cerufi- .g8tes, and her reserve,s dich a few weeks wis away below the legal requirement now away above. New York bankers had nerve Lo take hold of this situation with terminatiou 10 solve the dificulty. The York bunkers stoed by cuch other wan. Whe £ one of the great there wus owing lhe clear- usa uearly five millions the vankers of ol Loty said: We will buy that bank out- if pecessary. . No bunk in New York ;i full’ ‘They have stemmed the tide “and now woucy is moviug teward New York _awvith considerable force. Until the western hurn hiave paid their debt of gratitude to York by lurge deposils there we may ox- ”wm Uiue York meuey 2 to move west. Tt will come eventually, how- aver. ““These reflections are net encouraging but there afe some features of the situation which will be more pleasing. Within a month the tremendous draft which Chicago has made upon this country will beatan end. The immense sums left in that city by ‘World's fair visitors will be returned to the country at large. This Chicago draft upon our resources has been abnormal and frregu- lar. When the Worid's fair over cash will seek other flelds, and_business men will very soon feel the effect of the restoration of the natural order of thin, “The farmers of the United States were never so well to do. If a shrewd reporter were to visit the farmers of Douglas county, for instance, in their homes and gain their confidence he would find in nearly every house considerable money. He would also find the farmers marketing their grain and stock,but not banking the proceeds. There are millions and millions of dollars concealed in the farm houses of this country, and with demagogues attacking the banking system and advocating all manner of financial heresy, it 18 not surprising that the farmers who are notably conservative should be loth to give up their earnings to the custody of institutions wnich are continually denounced by men who can reach the ears of the agri- culturists, The farmers, however, will dis- cover before long that the flnancial system of this country is sound as & whole, and whether the Sherman act is re- pealed or not will soon restore their money to its legitimate depositories. Meantime they are paying cash for their groceries and other necessities, and the country merchants are, in turn, buying more closely and paying for their goods more promptly. This benefits the wholesale trade atall wholesalo centers, particularly the nearby ones. In nearly every line the whole- sale trade is good. Purchases are small, but collections are prompt and prospects for l- lively fall and winter trade are encourag- ng. “In my judgment the bankers are wrong in subposing that the people of America are waiting for congress to act on the Sherman bill. 1f the bankers couid convince them- sclves that the Sherman bill repealed or otherwise had nothing to do with the situation, 1 fancy comparatively littlo interest would be felt .in the tire- some discussions and long-winded fili- bustering in the senate. The country at large is not ready to abandon bimetalhsm as a theory, though they may consent to a tem- rary suspension of the purchase of silver ullion. If the United States senate would consent to such an amendment or substitute as will recognize this principle, doubtless the whole question can be dispossd or. ‘‘There is not so much complaint of want of employment in the city as existed a month ago. Tre good weather permits buiiding operations right along, and public works are not interfered with in the least. As a consequence, there are probably as many men omployed in the city at wages today as usual. If severe weather is post- poned six weeks longer we will gointo the winter in better shape than was anticipated, and retail trade will pyobably feel the effects of it. “The business men of Omaha have a good right to protest against the advance of - surance rates. The average of losses in the city does not'warrant a 25 per cent raise in rates. It is someéywhat remarkable that on the very day when the new fire engine was tested and found satisfactory that the iosur- ance company should annouuce an increase of the cost of insurance.” Chieago Live Stock Market. Cn1cAGo, Oct. 21.—Todny there wero only 1,800 cattle, of which 800 were Texans. The mar- ket was merely nominal and prices were not quotably different from Friday. Reccipts for the week were 85,000 hiead, being 9,000 head moro than the previous week, 4,000 nore than the corresponding” week last'year, and the largest of the year, but not vory close to the record” breaking of September 19, 1891, wnen 95,624 head arrived. The last weok’s receipts inciuded 51,000 range cattle, divided as follows: 19,000 Texans and In- dians and 82,000 western rangers, against 22 000 Texans and 21,000 westerns—the largest k of the season'forthe_latter—the corro- sponding woek last year. Tho market for the k closed strong, 25¢ lower. on medium from 26c to 85¢ lower on western rangers and 15¢ lower on Texans, with stock- ers and feoders in good demand and show- ing littlo ‘¢hange in _prices. Native beeves sold at from $3.25 t0 8580, fancy cattle at the ltter priew wveraging only: 1870 10 while good 1,600-Ib. cattie sold at 85.2 Western rango beeves sold at from 83 to mainly below $3.50, with feeders nt from $2.70 to ¥3.30: cunners and cows at from 82.25 to $2.85; Toxas ‘steers at from $2.30 to $2.80. Very few good native cattle aro now golnj forward to any of tho western markets, nnfi the present excessive recelpts are made up chlofly of rangers, but, too, largely of unfin- ished natives. Fower hogs arrived than tho trade_expected and the market was higher and sctive. Prices averagod 10c higher, thero belng some sales only 5¢ higher and othor.sales fully 15c above yosterday's “quotations. - Compotition was quite brisk.

The marker was nctive and values were steady at yester- day's prices. Recelpts for tho week were nearly 14,000 more than the previous weeks lurzo receipts. Sales today were at from $1.50 to $2.45 for sheep and from $2.80 to $4.40 for lambs, Only 1,000 head of sheep arrived today, but enough ‘'were held over from yester- dax i keop salesmon busy.

SOME OF THE WEAKENING FEATURES Cables Were So Indifferent as to e Post- tively Boarish—New York Messages Were Discouraging Aboat Fresh Reports. Cnicaco, Oct. 21.—Nothing helped the wheat market today and last prices were 1igc lower than last night's figures. Corn is 1ge and oats cto qc off. Provisions are about unchanged. b Everything was at hand to make a weak market in wheat. Cables were so indiffer- ent as to be positively bearish. Now York messages were discouraging about fresh ox- port sales. Washington news was no bot- ter and reports as to the movement of wheat were the most bearish of the season. There was nothing in sight except a l;msnecl of an enormous increase in the visi- le supply for Monday. Thelocal receipts of cars wore up from 92 Friday to 160, Minne- apolis sold a flood of wheat and reported over 1,300 cars at the two points for the day. Dispatches also said the demand for cars was more than doubled. The opening was about ¥c lower than yesterday's closing and with some slight fuctuations prices further fell oft from 3¢ to J4c, closing com- paratively steady. In corn the fine weather for drying the new crop, the quite good receipis and the casiness in other grain markets were the main features governing the trade, Local speculators as a rule sold freely, whila the outsiders were chiefty on the long side, 'The market, opened rather easy at from ¢ to i4c decline ana gradually receded from j(c w0 8¢c. Toward the close a little more steadi- ness provailed and prices raltied from ‘g to_Lc. Ti:f‘N was a moderate trade in oats, with prices receding /¢ to 1gc, and- closing with about the bottom. The dopression in wheat and the light cash demand caused the de- cline, The business in provisions was scarcely worth reporting. There was a change of but 214c in any product for January. The October price was maried up inall products, but this was to represent the cash business. At the close October pork was quoted 25c up, lard 7)gc up and ribs 10c up. Kstimated receipts for Monday: Wheat, 160 cars; corn, 680 cars; oats, 200 cars; hogs, 25,000 head, The leading futures ranged as follows: “Avticles. | Open. | High.

STOCKS AND BONDS, There Were Two Hours of Active Specula- tion on 'Change Yesterday. New York, Oct. 2L—A fairly active speculation was carried on at the Stock ex- change for two hours of business today. Discouraging Washington advices caused somo slight sclling at the open- ing, resulting' 1n fractional declines, but the dealings quickly regained strength when it wos figured out that there was really no change in the senatorial situation. Until the oclose a decidedly firm tone prevailed which was most marked on the publication of the very excellent bank statement., A fresh selling movement was organized on this splendid showing of the banks, the increase in sur- plus being greater than anticipated. The market was buoyaut at tho close, the best prices of the day being made iv the final dealings. Sugar was sold up on roports of heavy earnings and that the comvany had cut on all loans suffi- cient to pay a 12 per cent dividend on the common stock at the end of the fiscal year without infringing on its working capital. Buying orders in Delaware, Lackawanna & Westorn caused @ sharp advance in those shaves, owing to the small supply -.of floating stock on the market. Nearly all the active shares were higher at the close than were yester- day’s final figures. The range in the active list was from }{ to 8 per cent, the lutter in Manhattan Consolidated, 2 per cent Delaware, Lackawanna & Western and Lake Erie Western preferred, 13{ per cent Sugar; 1 per cent New Jersey Central; 1 per cont Chicago Gas; 1 per cent Consoli dated Gas, Cotton Oil, Tobacco, Baluimore & Ohio, and Wheeling & Lake Erie preferred ; % per cent in Distilling and Northern Pacific preferred and 3 per cent in Genoral Electric.

ADVANTAGES OF SHIPPING Y0 OMAHA Experionce of Wyoming Sellers Last Week— Trading Yostorday—Fooders in Demand ~Hogs Jump Up In Frice Again ~Sheep Domorallzed, Saturbay, Oct. 2L Receipts of all kinds of stock have been fairly liberal tho past weck, and the pros- pects are that October cattle receipts will bo the heaviest on record, while all kinds of supplies will show an increase over October, last year. The week's receipts, with com- parisons, are given below: Cattle. Recelipts this week...... 28,021 Rocolpts last week....... 28,371 Bame week last vear.... 16,610 Onaccount of the excessive supplies of cattle both here and at other markets, prices have ruled woak and lower on most all grades of beef cattle. The really dosir- abla beef grades have not suffered so much, as the proportion of such has been compara- tively small; in fact the number of strictly beef cattle has never been smaller at this sea- son of the year. Buyers simply had so many cattle to make their selections from that they were enabled to pound out a 10¢ and 15¢ decline on the less desirable grades. The slump here, however, was comparatively in- signifizant and shippers who thought to better their condition by going to Chicago found this out to themr cost. It isa fact worthy of note that less than 2 per cent of tho big cattle receipts of the past two weeks have been sent through to Chicago, either in first hanas or by speculators. The 2 percent that went to Chicago lost big_money. On last Tuesday there were some choice western cattle here from Sheridan, Wyo. Local buyers bid $4.25 for the entire soven loads and the commission man wanted to sell, but the owner thought it was not enough and went on to Chicago. They sold there Thurs- day for $4, a loss to the owner of over 50c per cwt. On thesams day there was another bunch of Wyoming cattle here on which buyers bid $3.85 for the steers and $2.50 for the cows. The commission man begged the owner to sell, but he, too, tried Chicago with the result that the su sold there Thurs- day for $3.65 and the cows for §2.60. Trading Stoady to Strong. There were, perhaps, 1,000 more cattle here today than were here on last Saturday. So far this month about 74,000 cattlo have been received. With average supplies for the next 10 days, the month's receipts will run up considerably over 100,000 head, which will make this the banner month for cattle receipts in the yard’s history. Last October 90,037 head were received, which was the heaviest on record. The market today was slow, but compared with Friday's trade, there was no material change. Offerings were liberal and very common as a rule and this added to the general dullness. Some heavy natives, not extra good, brought $4.65 and there were no western cattlé here that would grade better than fair. Common stuff, especially, was slow sale and in many cases easier, and tho general runof range cattle changed hands at from $3to $3.40. While the movement was slow it was con- tinuous and the close found,little of any con- sequence in first hands. The cow market was steady. Some called it strong. Atany rate the liberal offerings changed hands freely at full Friday’s figures. Common to very good cows and helfers sold av from $1.50 to .45, butchers’ stock largely at from $1.85 to §2.10. Comunon large to choice veal calves sold at fully steady prices from $1 to $4, and rough stock at from $1.50 to $2.50 showed no particular changé. During the early and midale part of the week the excessive offerings caused a drop in values, but this has been very nearly regained and ;he feeling at the close of the week was rm. Probably the heaviest weck for feeders in the history of the yards closed today. Ship- ments averaged over 1,500 a day, and on one or two days over 2,000 cattle were shipped out to be fed. The demand has kept up well from all sources, but as the bulk of the offer- ings from day to day have been feeders, prices have very naturally weakened a little, but this has been largely, if nos entirely, on the common grades. Really toppy feeders have been scarce, and there has always been a demand for them at good stiff figures. Trade today was quiet, buta good business was done and prices were not far from steady. Good to choice feeders ave quoted at $3 to $3.50; fair to good at $2.60 to $3, with common and inferior stuff at around §2 to $2.50. Hogs. Sheep. 25,069 5,410 21,848 7,251 Representative Sales.

The compuratively light receipts of hogs and the generally common character of the offerings continue to puzzle dealers, who a few weeks ago were predicting heavy sup- plies and good hogs for the fall and “early winter months. The Cincinnati Price Cur- rent explains it thus: ‘“The predent moder- ate number of hogs boing marketed is more or less due to the relatively freo movement s0me weoks ao, when thore was more con- fidenco among farmers in values of corn. The crop having resulted somewhat better than was apprebended, has encouraged the rolation of stock and stimulated the interior demand for feeding animals, so that there is an_apparent searcity at vhis time, and it is doubtful if a free movement of hogs will be shown for some weeks to come. Receipts have been slightly {n excess of k, but fall sharply short of the run Nothing of unusual note has oo- the general situation is praoti- ally the same as it was & wook ago, the ex- ception being that prices are on an average 5¢ to 10c lower. There has been n very ac- tive demand for the fresh meat trade and o good Inquity from shippers for eastorn butchers. The inferiority of the offerings, however, has ourtailed shipments to the smailest’ fiure 1n months. Packers both here and elsewhere have been moving heaven and earth to break the market down below $8 before the opening of tho vegular winter packing season, November 1. In this effort they have been very seriously handicaped, having to contend against light receipts and a very urgent demand for fresh meat capa- ble of absorbing the greater part of the sup- plies of hogs. With almost no stocks of pro- visions on hand and recoipts lighter than a year ugo, it is doubtful if packers will be able to buy many very cheap hogs, espo- clally during the early bart of the scason, Jumped Prices Up. The week closod with a moderate run and astrong active market. Sellers had the best of it from start to finish and ex- perienced no difficulty in getting prices from 50 to 10¢ better than Eriday for their hold- ings, There was & very vigorous demand from _ fresh meat men; several ship- pers were in the field and one «packer was & good free . buyer.
