Weekly Review OF Trade tomorrow will
say:
The price situation In leading depart

the need becomes greater, Is expected to

that the crops promise abundanuy and the

Statistics OF building operations testify TO
the activity In that direction. Taking the
country at large, there is a notable free
dom from Industrial disputes. The very sat
isfactoTy employment OF labor must soon
add to retail purchases, which now expand
slowly.
Retailers are numerous in the dry goods
market, but purchases are conservative.
Following the government report on cot

New business in footwear Is still held In

There was no very marked change IN the
condition Of the trade. There was a ta.r

the market generally being slow. but about

BRADsTREET's REVIEW OF TRADE
Factories Are Busy and JobbinR
Business IL Good, .

Business IL Good.
NEW YORK, Sept. 1O.-Bradstreets' to-
morrow will say,
Industrial lines are still expanding and
In some branches OF the iron and steel
trade record outputs are the rule. In fact,
manufacturing Is in the forefront as re-
CARDS activity and in some branches skilled
workmen are not plentiful enough to supply
the demand. Industrial plants that have
been late In sharing In the revival are
taking on more activity and working OF
night shifts is not uncommon. Purely dis
tributive trade has probably tapered off a
little at certain large centers, as interior
merchants having finished their purchases
have left for their homes. sim, jobbing
trade is good and at some %centers, par
ticularly where fall festivities are held,
purchases Of dry, goods, groceries and
staples In general have really increased
though fall buying from tobbers and whole
salers has possibly passed its zenlth. II
is obviously too early for recorders. Indeed,
retailers are still making strenuous efforts
to work off summer stocks. while display
ing early fall goods; Within another week
or SO trade in this line probably will show
expansion. There has been no tendency to
over buy, high prices for one thing, having
made for the exercise of caution.
The earlier gathered crops such as wheat,
cotton and oats are being moved to mar
ket quite freely and tho good prices being
realized from the sale OF these products
will make for earlier collections and growth
In trade. Building Is more active than it
usually Is at this season of the year and
the ratio OF gain for August over a year
ago is the largest shown in any month since
May.

OMAHA, Sept 10, 1900.
The wheat market was strong again to-
day, although news is not bullish. The
sentiment AMONG traders has changed. be
cause the market refused to decline on
heavy short selling for several weeks.
These same spectators are buying In their
short sales and values have taken an up
turn.
Corn was somewhat easier, prices work
Ing a trifle lower, owing to heavy profit
taking sales on the bulges. Sentiment is
stu bulltsh and the reaction IL only tenn
porary.
Wheat continued strong and showed a
good advance OF buying OF good quality
Offerings were exceptionally slight and the
very light receipts scared the shorts, who
started covering, forcing prices higher.
Cash wheat brought good prices over yes
terdAy's bids.
Corn was steady early and worked into a
stronger position later when offerings
dried up. Early sellers were good buyers
at the close and sentiment was strongly
bullish. Cash corn was up again and all
offerings brought from nc to NC higher.
Primary wheat receipts were i,4b9, 900
bushels and shipments were e69,OO bushels.

DIsPOSITION

CATTLE-Recelpts OF cattle were very
light this morning, as usual on a FRIDAY,
there being hardly enough TO really make
a market. Such cattle as there were sold
at prices not very much different from
yesterday, 1t being, as usual, when re-
ceipts are so light, a featureless trade from
start to finish. For the week receipts have
been very liberal; that is, fully as large
as last week and quite q little larger than
for the same period last year.
While there were not enough beef cattle
here today to make a market, 1t Is safe TO
say that prices for the week on all de-
sirable grades OF cornfed steers Is quite
range steers are selling fully as high as
they were a week ago but fair horned
steers, the iii that feeder buyers do not
want, and hence on which there is little
competition, are 104l5c lower.
While there were not enough cows or
heifers to talk about today, the market
for the whole week has been In pretty fair
condition, so much so that prices are
around 1OQ15c higher than the close Of
last week. In fact, range COWS and heifers
are in many cases quoted as much as 100
zoe higher than a week ago.
There has been q very good demand for
stocke and feeders all the week and
prices on that kind of cattle are right
around 1Oq15c higher on an average. Light
and medium weight grades, II anything,
show more Improvement than the heavier
cattle, the prospects for good fall pasturage
having Increased the demand for cattle on
the stocker order.
