CONDITION OF OMAHA'STRADE | Trade Vory Heavy Barly Last Woek, but Bains Intarferred the Latter Part. PRICES FIRM ON PRACTICALLY ALL LINES More Buyers of Fall Goods Arrived on the Market Last Week Than Have Been Seen in O in M y Months, ofall trade with Omaha jobbers and man- turers is now in full swing and jud ing from the orders placed so0 it looks as though more goods wouid be sold this season than ever before. Trade the first half of last week was especlally good, but the heavy rains the latter haif kept tho, majorfty “of merchants at home, ‘I'aking the week as a whole, however, jobbers in | all lines did a very satisfactory business. Merchants placed heavier orders than al and seemed to feel confident of do- & big business throughout the fall and ter season. They are not carrying over mMore stock than usual, 80, thelr trade 0 summer, lines came well up to their ex- Wlullonl With anything like favorable weather this coming week jobbers look for & big run of buyers and expect to do more business than they did last week. obbers are sflil shipping their advance but the majority of them hope to hose out of the way in_ the near The crippled condition of the rail- Toads for the last fow days has interfered 10 quite an exient with shipments and has cansad considerable trouble, especially with shippers of perishable Foos This ‘week, however, It s expected that freight will be moving as freely as usual The markets have fluctuated to some ex- tend during the week under review, but at the same time there have been very fow important changes. It may safely be sald that prices on the great majority of goods handled in Omaha are firm, with every indication of thelr remaining that way for some time to come ‘ollections continue in very satisfactory condRion and merchants seem to be meet- ing their obligntions with more tin their usual amount of promptness. Sugar Market Strong and Active. The sugar market 1s still quoted as being In 8, Jery, strong position, with every in- dication of an advance in'the near future, The demand is very heavy and some grades are being sold” subject to long delays in the oatmeal market 1s even stronger than 1t was & week ago and it {5 more than prob- able that opening prices which will be giioted by manufacturers September 1 will ow an advance over present prices The demand for dried frults continues very brisk and the continued heavy con- sumption of apricots has glven holders an excuse for advancing prices, which they have done to the extent of ¥@%c on differ- ent grades. There has also been a heavy movement of peaches and many larga pur- chases have recently been made, still the market I8 guoted the same as it was a week ago. Well Informed buyers, however, look for higher prices at most any time. nes are being firmly held at full rices, while evaporated raspberries are lower ‘and are now heing offered at as low prices ag have been known in several yoars alifornia_evaporated pears are being of- fered at prices about fc per pound higher than the opening prices n Yoar ngo. In the canned goods market it {s reported that California canneries have experienced & heavier demand this season than has ever been known before. In spite of the fact that they have crowded the work to the ut- most the demand has been heavier than could care for and many canneries have withdrawn from the market entirely until they catch up with thelr orders. Oth- ers are simply withdrawing on certain lines. Pears in particular are in ahort supply. as are also the cheaper grades of peaches. plums and apricots. Extra standar Deaches have advanced 10c per dosen. with- a greater advance, on gallon goods of dif- ferent kinds. Thera has been no chun[e on canned corn or tomatoes. yrups. lsundry sosp and tobaccos are ing in just about the same notches they were a week ago, and the same is true of fish, wooden ware and fancy groceries. The omand for all these lines and in fact for all staple grocerles Is very satisfactory and even better than could be expected at this season of the year. Dry Goods Very Aullv..

One jobber, In speakin number of buyers that arrived on d that he never saw a better trade in his ite, even during the rush which has always accompanied the = Ak-Sar-Ben festivities. Not only that, but everyone came prepared to make liberal “ urchases and they all left heavier orders than they placed last year or at_any previous time. That being the case, Omaha jobers naturally feel confldent that'sthey are going to do a big business throughout the s There {8 nothin rticularly new to be 1d of the market, prices on all staple ines of cotton !nod firm, the same &8 they have been for some time past, with every Indieation of their remaining that way indefinitely. Every week there are a fow advances reported, but since last week || there have been none of much importance. The whole situation is described by sim- ply calling the market very strong and active. The same as has been previously mentloned through these columns, lhole who are In a position to know say with §00d deal nf confidence that cotton mnfil At present prices are zood property in spite of the fact that ruling prices may look high. Fall Hardware In De Hardware jobbers repcrt faii business as ng up In very satisfactory manner, I such lines as stoves, stbve boards, stovepipe, elbows, coal scuttles and all kinds of cold weather goods are in_good demand and promlle to sell more freely even than they did a year ago. The mand for summer lines s of course prac cally at an end, but staple goods which the year around are movin could be expected. Taking t & whole jobbers say they have no cnu-e for complaint, but on the contrary have every being well satisfled. There have been no market changes since last report that are worthy of mention. Prices on practically all staple lines of hardware are in the same position they ' and the general mar- health; condition, with prices frenal along the fine.

Close of Week Marked by Extreme Professional Tradl: YORK, Aug. 29.— can be attached t today's stocks by handful of ru'u tnder- Very few prominent stocks cov- s much as a ainly in the interval. There were a_few advances at the opening which may have been due to the cohtradiction of the first reports that the vice consul at Beyroot had been murdered. No outside response came to this movement and traders sold the market off on an early depression that the bank statement would not be as good as the forecasts indicated. As a consequence the poor bank statement was followed by hardening in the market due to covering by early short sellers and the market closed drm but practically Wfeless nnd at a level slightly higher than last night. The banks show an increase in cash of OnlE $1,206,100, where a_ gain of upwards of §2,000,00 was expected and the loan ac- count was again expanded to the extent of upwards of 35,000, This loan increase is in realily & measure of the inactivity of the money market as it Is supposed to be due to the putting out at unremunera- tive call loan rates by the banks of funds deposited by the trust companies to take advantage of the rate pald by the banks on_deposits. Besides this, sentiment on the money market outlook has taken on a tone of cement of the plan to In- the government de) uflw in the banks to the extent of $40,! f neces- sary. This plan comes In for'a good deal of discussion in Wall street by reason of the new contention involved that internal revenue receipts, if distinguished in the bookkeeping, may be transferred to the banks even though they have been re- celved by the treasury, have been con- sidered available for deposit in the banks only as the payments were made. But the knowledge of resources in reserve for the money market overrides other consider- ations, The 'usual talk is heard In some quar- ters that the western banking institutions are 8o well fortified that the needs for currency to move the crops may be met out of thelr own resources without calling upon eastern banks. It is pointed out that some western banks, even in the heart of the wheat belt are now lending money at this center and are freer buyers of mer- cantile paper here than the New York banks themaelves. But experience shows that, whether resources of western banks are 'loaned here directly or by the local banks which have them on deposit, result of the fall demand for cash is the same. When loans here by western banks are recalle conditional demands for credits are thrown upon the local banks and_the net results were that the wesiern banks " withdrew their deposits from New The lateness of the corn and cotton crops are expected to cause delay in the I terior demand, but its proporilons are gen- erally expected to equal those of former years. In other respects conditions are "‘“""'"X altered from those of last yeas Then credits were inflated to sustain price of securities at an unstable height. Not only domestic resources but enough for- eign borrowings were employed for the purpose, and forelgn creditors began to call home thelr loans in the very crisis of the fall needs for money. Now the stock market has gone through a decline and the forelgn borrowings of our cap- italists_have been reduced to a great ex- tent. There is no fear of any obstacle to an inward movement of gold as soon as the outward movement of crops begins to make exchange.
