have suffered big losses, and fat, well matured

MARYLAND DAY AT ATLANTA,
Governor Brown Talks of the North
and south.

ATLANTA, Dec. 1.-THE Maryland dele
cation had most auspicious weather for the
celebration of the state day exercises The
weather was COOL but the suns rays tenn
pered the atmosphere, leaving just enough
chill to prove invigorating to soldiers and
sghtseers.
The troops Of the Fourth and Fifth regl-
ments, naval reserves, etc, formed into line
at $50 o'clock and marched TO the grounds,
escorted by the Gate City guards On ar
rivng at the exposition they were reviewed
by Governor Brown and staff from the music
stand opposite the PENNSYLVANIA building
The days exercises at the Auditorium began
at II o'clock. Rev. p. N. Murkl!e delivered
the Maryland day Grafton.
Governor Brown in his address spoke in
part ae follows:
Governor Brown expressed his appreciation
of the welcome extended to the Maryland
delegation and complmented the people Of
Atlanta in glowing terms upon the progress
they have made since the civil war as shown
by the exposition.
The interests of Maryland and Of Georgia
are one, he said. and he thanked the people of
Georgia for the aid they have given in making
Baltimore the metropolis of the south.
The solid south. he exclaimed: yes. God
forbid that it should be otherwise. Bound
together as we are by the ties of blood and
fraternal fellowship, we are a united people
in defending our, rights as American citi-
zens In supporting the Integrity of this
great and glorious union of states From
the banks Of the Rio Grande to the shores
or the Chesapeake, we stand as one man in
whatever is for our material interests. 1t Is
true we may locally be attracted momen-
tarily by glittering magnets, but as the
needle to the pole, when the fluctuations

Ana let me say to the sons of the south
that the pulse of the people of MARYLAND

CATTLE-With only forty-four loads of
cattle the yards seemed almost deserted.
1t wss light run even for Saturday
only about half the number being on sale
today that were here n week ago. The
light offerings combined with the usual
Saturdays dullness could hardly do other
wise than make very quiet and featureess
market.
In the way of dressed beef cattle there
were some right good heavy cornfed steers
on the market in addition to the usual
showing of half fat stun. The market was
very dun and hardly steady. one bunch

The course of the market has
been downward this week and at
lower than at the opening of the week.
There Is strong influence at work at the
present time that is decidedly against the
cattle trade. In the first place the holiday
season Is near at hand and 1t is the time
when poultry, oysters and game attract the
mutton and pork are very low and under
the influence of the money strngency con-
sumers are inclined toward the cheapest
meat, which cuts down the consumption
tlemen do not anticipate much activity in
the beef market until after the new year,
Cows and heifsrs We're in moderate supply
today and holders did not experience much
difficulty In securing about steady prices
The market on butchers stock has also ex-
but prices on that kind of stuff are still
good the way other cattle are selling.

odds and ends constituted the fresh supply

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Wheat Opened at Fractional Decline Over
Friday.
CORN WAS QUIET AND FEATURELeSs
Oats Were Slow but showed Some
strength In sympathy with
wheat and Corn-stocls
and Bonds.

CHICAGO. Dec. Wheat opened at
about &c decline under yesterdays closing
rates, and for about twenty minutes gave
very slight signs of recuperation. At the
end Of that time. however symptoms of
recovery became apparent. The improve
ment was very gradual at first, but before
the session was an hour old the rise became
rapid, and from 6l9sc May advanced in a
hurry to from 62c to 62lac The first trading
in II was at from 6lasc to 6llac, compared
with 617sc at the close yesterday. The open
ing weakness had two or three reasons to
Justify 1t. The Liverpool market only re-
sponded 14d per Genital to the Chicago jump
OF 1c per bu. yesterday A private cable
gram from Liverpool said: Argentine crop
prospects favorable; shipments of wheat
from Argentine for the week, $4,000 bu.," and
what perhaps Influenced the early sellers
here as much as anything else was that
the receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth
were more than 300 carloads in excess of
those on the corresponding day of the year
before. The rise which succeeded the open
Ing decline had also several good reasons
to support It. The price barely touched 62Hc
on the advance when some of the big
bears jumped into the pit with clean trad
onslaught. and the price was soon crowded
back TO Slkc. a recovery to 6l&c followed
@ 'hs against sS on tSe day s0 to
=, Corn was quiet and nearly featureless.
The local receipts were about as expected,
but there was very little business. The
strength in wheat was about the only in
fuence. May sold at from 29c to 29Ac, and
closed al 29c. December sold at from 2Ghc
to 26&c, closing at 263sc
Oats were slow, but showed some strength
in sympathy with wheat and corn, but got
easy later as the other markets eased off
Der at TIC.
Hog products were quiet. trade feature
less and prices steady and without ma
terial change.

FRUITS,
The position OF the cranberry market appears
70 be very strong one. according to the New
YORK Journal OF Commerce. Recent activity on
local account for the Thanksgiving trade has
depleted local holdings materially and adyices
from primary points OF supply indicate a rela-
lively light quantity for future needs Western
markets appear TO be carrying very little stock
as orders from the large distributing centers keep
coming in here In spite OF the relatively high
rates ruling II is reported that stocks on cabe
Cod have been worked down very eosely-much
moro so than usual at this time OF year-and the
western demands have lately been supplied
chie.y from country stations ih New Jersey.
These have been sufficient 20 work supplies down
pretty closely in that section and holders Of tho
remaining stocks, believing that they hold the
advantage as 10 values, are Offering their goods
with considerable reserve On the whole. II looks
hs though the holiday trade would he likely 10
use up SO much Of the remaining visible supply
as to tivs probability OF very strong ruling OF
beason. - N''

OMAHA's RETAIL TRADE QUIET.
Some Improvement Noted as the HOIi-
LnY SenAOn Draws Ncnr.

with the retail trade OF Omaha very few
merchants are to be found who will not admit
that trade Is, upon the whole, rather quiet.
The people OF the city are not buying with
their old-time liberality, but the corners are
cut here and there and everything pared
down to the smallest point possible. This
appears to be the case with every line Of
business. AS a matter of course there Is a
fairly steady demand for seasonable goods,
and such goods are absolute necessities but
aside from that the volume Of sales Is
small.
Now that the holiday. season is near at
hand, some Improvement Is confidently ex-
pected by the retail trade In most all lines
The experience OF past years however. has
demonstrated that the holiday trade is not
all clear gain, as It usually means more or
merchandise, as buyers who invest literally
in Christmas goods try to make up for It
Considering the condition q trade, the
goods and the assortment, It is believed,
will compare very, favorably with that to
be found In any other city OF the same size
as Omaha, From now on the store win
dows will be gay with the displays OF these
goods

HoGS-The week closed with coed liberal
run of hogs ninety-three loads, though last
Saturdays nGures We're not reached by over a
thousand head
The market opened little slow, with buyers
Offering about fridays closing prices, and some
few loads changed hands on that basis. The dis
coyery that Armour's representative in the
market spurred the other buyers en- and the
market was soon active at shade stronger
prices. Every one bought freely and the pens
we've soon cleared. Tho range of prices was
about the same as on Friday. but there were
more sales at S3.37h and S3,IO. The great bulk
Of all the hogs sold at $SS593 S7ia with sprlnk-
ling at $40
The hog market OF the past week has shown
decided inclination to fiuctuate back and forth
and on no day was It possible to quote the mar
ke' as unchanged. The week opened with 5a .0c
decline, the bulk of the hogs selling Monday
at sS'5; but the loss was made up on Tuesday
day they took of shaving. and while Thursdays $
market opened lower, the general trade did not
show much change. The hogs on both Wrdnes-
day and Thursday sold principally at ss.s5q3 40
on Friday the market went of about &C. but as
noted above, the market today recovered a part
OF that, The week closed with the great bulk of
the sales at s3.S5a33714, or a shade higher Than
II opened.
The quality, Of the hogs coming TO market n,
the present time Is very good As the range OF
prices is so narrow shipper who sends in n
