M e s-lre hlyn f n If jersoral slid impartial Attention LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE BUSINESS CONDITIONS REMAIN VERY SATISFACTORY IN ALL LINES. The Remarkably Steady Tone Continues Without Chans? Jobbers Very Well Satisfied with the Outlook. nn,k!nn nnnr t-n trQ.Il in" re was ausuiuici; uvuiiu v.v. conditions vesterday. The reports coming from the jobbers in all branches one week ago might suffice for comment upon the "l ""B " present conditions of the market, nor is there anything in present appearances to ivarran. any impenunns iuJUf in e-nm-i prices or the volume of movement. Particularly is this true in all lines of cotton goods. For the past year new cotton has been held at a phenomenally high figure, partly due to msnlpulation. and parly to the unprecedented consumption. In fact, the very great absorption of raw cotton by the mills, both Jn the South and in New England, made the working of a corner possible. Manufacturers found it impossible to place their goods upon the market at figures sufficiently advanced to yield them even a fair profit. To enable them to keep mills running and thus afford employment to the thousands of employes who would have suffered through a shut-down, they were compelled to put a price upon their product that yielded only nominal returns to stockholders. When the new crop of cotton comes on the market a decline in price is probable, but it will not be great, and the mills are not likely to offer their goods at prices much, if any. below the present range. As a matter of fact O -y cannot be expected to do so. The prices lor cotton fabrics were never advanced suffici"ntly to offset the increased cost of raw material and of operating the mills. The planters and cotton factors were the only ones to gain by enhanced prices. The cost of running the mills is greater than at any previous period in their historv. and future production must be marketed at not far from prevailing prices to enabh- the operators to hold their own. to say nothing of recouping the greatly diminished profits of the past year. Practically the same conditions govern the market for woolen goods. There has been a considerable rise in London raw wool market, and American woolgTowers have held back thtdr product for higher prices, so that, with the advance in the cost of labor, the woolen mills have not been able to pay satisfactory dividends to their stockholders. The local trade continues to be of fairly good proportions in all branches. There are not many country merchants visiting the city at present, but mall orders are very satisfactory so much so that jobbers in all Knes express themaelves as well pleased. On Commission row a steady, good business is doing both in supplying the home trade and in shipments It the large number of towns throughout the State that are supplied from this market. There were no changes In quotations for eltro r fruits or vegetables from those given yesterday. Country produce continues in excellent demand, with the supply limited to actual requirements. Loral Grain Market. The local grain market continues featureless. Receipts continue very light, and. necessarily but little is doing. There is a better demand for wheat and quotations wore again advanced full 1 cent v r Monday's price. Corn was quoted steady, while oats were a shade weaker, closing at a decline of e.

TURN SHARPLY UPWARD

STOCKS ADVANCE BRISKLY VSDEB A REVERSAL OF SENTIMENT. Powerful Support Forthcoming; All Along the Line Bears Driven to Cover in a Lively Scramble. NEW YORK, Ser.t. 29. People who came to Wail street to-day expecting a demoralizing break in prices met with a surprise, as vigorous support was forthcoming from the most powerful financial interests in the country and aas steadily offered throughout the day. The market closed active and strong and at the best prices of the day. Net gains of 2 to 3 points were the general rule throughout the list, and in the leaders exceeded this, Pennsylvania and Amalgamated Copper rising 34 and Union Pacilic. Atchison, Louisville, Rock Island, Meiroiolitan btreet-i ailway. Brooklyn i'icni.it and People's (Jas irom 3 to Vfo Tnc expectation of the further slump today was tounded on the demoralised tone of Pennsylvania and the resulting unaettle.iient nf tht wholt liot Inst tiiirhl Thiri i 11 jiuenct- w& suDoletnented bv the further decline in British consols to-day to a new low kvel. As the course of mis premier Bri'.ish security has kept pace with our own market on the down grade, reflecting the same condition of overextension of capital In certain lines, causing the necessity for drastic liquidation elsewhere, the opening tone here was decidedly unsettled. The I nited States Steel issues made a further t., tiit .uiiimun and pn ienvd bcaaMlsl through yesterday's new low record ana the bonds falling to within a quarter. Most of the opening changes were on the suie ol declines and there was some special pressure against the New York Central. Yesterday's break in Pennsylvania having brought that 6 ner cent, stork down tn jt naritv with i tne 5 pcr ceilt. ;ew York Central, the usual pressure under these circumstances de veloped against the latter. But Pennsylvania's opening rise of a point was the proclamation that othtr influences were at work. The buying of this stock was traceable to the banking house of Kuhn, Lot b & Co., which manages the company's financial operations. The very heavy buying orders in United States Steel preferred were credited in a similar way to J. P. Morgan & Co., and it was confidently aifirmed that the opening buying of Amalgamated Copper by brokers usually employed by the Standard Oil party might be accepted in guod faith as indicating the activity on the buying side of that party. There has been an almost superstitious feeling among- the whole speculative contingent that the melting away of prices, which had reached the point of a slow panic, would not be checked until tDCM financial leaders began to buy stocks largely and in concert. The conviction that this would happen had an electrical effect on speculative sentiment, and drove the bears to cover with a scramble. Some of the large bear speculators put out fresh short lines at different stages of the advance in the confidence that the large buving orders were designed simply to support the market, to be resold on any considerable advance. But there was no evidence of this re-Belling-, and the belief gained ground that the great banking interests had definitely changed their recent policy of abandoning the market to its own resources and biding the time when the fever of selling, which has taken hold of the securities-holding public, should exhaust itself, it was evident at the same time that the urgent liquidation lacked the force which carried down prices in recent markets. As a result there was a marked revival of confidence and a dissipation of many of the shadowy fears which have infected the speculative raina oi late witn even greater effect than actual developments. The news of the day. where there was little bearing on values. was not a ractor in the movement of prices. The bond market became firm in sym parny wim tne recovery In stocks. Total sales, at par value, wrere $4.9S5,00. T'nited States twos declined V per cent, on the last call. Following are the day's share sales and tn recoraeu price charges: High- Low- CIos.

Porterfield A Co. 's Telegram. NEW YORK, Sept 29. The stock market opened with an attempt by the bears to continue their tactics, so successfully worked yesterday, but right from the start support was offered the entire list, and in the wild scramble to cover, prices soared in jumps and not by eighths. It was a great day for the bulls and demonstrates to the most pessimistically inclined person what may be expected once the market turns for the better. United States steel issue were the targets selected by which to start another slump in the general list, but after making a new low record of 147 for the common and 58 for the preferred, supporting orders appeared which entirely changed the complexion of things In short order and the stocks quickly rallied IV to 3 points respectively. The rest of the list responded to this impetus and a general rally was recorded in the rails, St. Paul being especially prominent with 3 advance; New York Central, 2; Atchison common, 24 points; Pennsylvania. 3, with the rest in proportion. In the industrials, sugar rallied iy, Tennessee coal, 24S; Amalgamated copper, $3 a share. Thus it was all around. Rankers Took n Hand. A. R. Thompson & Co.'s Telegram. NKW YORK, Sept. 29. Prior to the opening of the market this morning and even in the first few minutes of trading the feeling was one of depression and nervousness, influenced by the expectation of continued liquidation, which feeling was intensified by the gloomy early morning cables received from abroad. It soon became known, however, that large supporting orders were in the market, and the situation began to improve with an upward price movement, which continued almost throughout the session. It is said that a conference o the leading bankers In the str t was h?ld last night with a view to check the panicky stock market, and that as a result of the plans laid at that meeting the demoralization which on every hand INM looked for in to-day's market was not only averted, but a complete reversal of sentiment brought about. The speculative sentiment this evening is distinctly improved and the panicky feeling has entirely disappeared. BILL TURN IN CEREALS ADVANCE IS NOT MI CH. BIT IS HELD TO THE CLOSE. All Grains, Led by Wbent, Add Fractions to the Price, and Provisions Also Show Small Advances. CHICAGO, Sept. 29 A bettor tor.e in the stock market was reflected in the grain and provision pit to-day and prices ruled firmer, December wheat closing at a gain of VjC. Corn was up iic and oats were higher. Provisions closed from 6c to 15c higher. Fairly active buying by some of the leaders in the wheat pit who were influenced by the upward trend of values on Wall street starttd shorts to cover early in the day and as a result the market ruled strong. Opening prices were firm on steady cables, with December a shade to 1K'''4e higher at 77- to 77Vc. A good demand from all classes of buyers soon caused a rally and Dec ember sold up to 77'4e during the first half hour. Part of the -arly strength was du to the better Southwestern and Northwestern markets and to the excellent cash demand. Toward noon there was considerable selling by traders, due to a large increase in the world's visible supply, and th market eased off. Trading was quiet in the latter part of the session but a steady tone pn ratted, December closing 2o higher at 774'j774;. Clearances of. wheat and flour were equal to 253.400 bu. Primary receipts were 1.7';l.TM bu, against 1.083.3:0 a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 1.157 cars which, with local receipts of 76 cars four of contract grademade a total of 1.23:5 can, against 65o last week and 1.427 a year ago. Corn followed wli at ra Its upward tpndency early in the day and the market rulsd strong, with considerable covering by snorts. An improved shipping demand and light country offerings were responsible for much of the eirrly strength, and reports of damage by frost In Nebraska tended to increase the bullish sentiment. The weekly government report was decidedly bearish and caused considerable selling, which resulted in a loss of most of the early gtin. After m Hing between 45c and 464;l?i46c. December closed ($c higher at 40V- Receipts were 5HS cars, 70 of contract grade. Oats were firm early, due largely to the strength In other grains, and the market received (air support from brokers. Later, however, there was considerable selling by commission houaes, and a reaction followed. December clotted with a guia oi &c at

3636T4c. after selling between 36VtC and 37c. Receipts were 180 cars. With the exception of September pork and lard the provision market ruled firm on a good demand from brokers. An advance of 5c in the price of hogs, with light receipts at the yards and the firmness in corn, gave a better tone to prices, but trading was light with offerings scattered. October pork closed 15c higher at $11.90. Lard was up 5c at $7.S and ribs were 7W: higher at $3.32. Estimated receipts for to-morrow: Wheat. 35 ears-; corn. 253; oats. 1X; hogs, 26.000 bead.

Hogs Quiet and Barely Steady Sheep and Lambs Lower Conditions of Markets Elsewhere. UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 21. Cattle Receipts. 1,800; shipments, 200. There is a continued excessive marketing of undesirable cattle, and there were many more of this class to-day than could find an outlet. In harmony with the condition of the trade elsewhere the market for all kinds of cattle opened quiet and rather weak, but the proportion of choice kinds on sale was small and all that answered that description finally changed hands at about steady prices compared with yesterday, but in some cases sales were lower than prices offered yesterday, and in a general way the market was reported 10c to 25c lower than the close of last week. The strictly ohelce steers developed more strength than other grades of cattle and were probablv not to exceed 10c to 15c lower, but the kind juet below the best were finally 10c to 2c lower, and most of the steers that had U sell Koinw xa ru and ewLe. iiillv those that had 10 sell around $4 and under, were 25c lower. There was practically no demand from any quarter for stockers and feeding cattle, and a great many cattle of this class were left unsold. In the female butcher cattle market the best cows and heifers were probably not to exceed l)c to l&c lower, but fair to good kinds were generally reported 25c lower. The bulls suffered about the same change as other grades, and calves were nearly steady.

There was a very fair demand, especially from shippers, for the choice lljtht hogs, and sales of that class from the start were at about steady prices compared with yesterday. Shippers were also buying the best medium to heavy grades at about steady pri' sea, but some of th. early bids for .k bsaey hogs and mixed grades wer Is St. Packers continued rather indifferent all day. and apparently were buying only Just what they were forced to. Shippers, on account of the weak competition, were more particular thin they might otherwise have been, and the quality and condition of the offering cut more figure than it has for a few days past. In fact, salesmen had more difficulty all day in disposing ,.f t.Vir conigr.mentr, but after hard work anally ruiceeded in selling the choice hogs of all welgbts The market for those that were not fully up to the standard was weak in all cases, and occaslonallv prices were reported 5c lower.

H v. So 1 Sheep Receipt, $oo; hipments. 2fl0. On account of the comparatively hifth-r prices prevailing here lat-t week and consequently unrofltable shipments the market to-day opened with shippers vere weak and offering decidedly lower prices fhere was a very fslr request from local butchers, but they were inclined to take advantage of the lessened competition from other ources. and It was evident from the start that alesmen would have to make concessions is all tinea Therefore they were rather industrious in trying to a r ringe a basis for nitrations, and succeeded In doing this rather early In the day. In a general way the market was reported fully 25c lower than the close of lavt week for both sheep and lambs, but there is no doubt that lambs. In sum Instance at least, suffered more change than thip. and it was also evident that they were relatively weaker than sheep. Ot

There was not a large attendance of buyers, but an average number, and a number of sales at private terms Tuesday morning indicated that better results would be obtained In the regulär auction than a week ago. In this respect, boar ever, the selling aide was disappointed. A very fair demand developed for the good big horses, and they were salable at steady prices, but common to medium offerings, and especially plain horses, were almost unsalable and In very few cases brought their original cost in the couatry. Therefore the market wa only partly satisfactory to shippers. A few good big heavy and coach horses sold around $17541200, but tbe medium to good chunk sold from $125 to $150. and smaller and less desirable horses from $20 to fUS. Elsewhere. KANSAS CITY.

INDIANA CROPS. Summary nf Reports Received by Sectlon Director HI the Following Is a summary of reports reed by Dlrtctor ?iythe of the Indiana section climate snd crop service, Weather Hureau, for the week ending; Sept. 2S: Kx .pting; the fli-st three days, when day temperatures a t re abnormally high, and Satuni.n night, v hen light rains fell, the weath r ..ur:::g t.i week was dry and decidedly cod. Frosts acre observed In all sections on the 24th and 25th and again on the 28th, but generally the deposit was light, and no damage was done except te low places. "The frost of the preceding week snd succeeding period of dry weather caused corn to dry raj. idly, and. while seeae of it Is expected to be chaffy aui light and in some fields the grain is yet so.'t. the bulk of the corn crop la now safe from injury by frost. Cutting core to save tne fodder has been pushed vigorously. In a ! w localities clover Is Melding well, but generally th of seed Is fair to retry lipht. The potato crop is below average. "Winter apples are reported aa falling badly in many places, and a light crop Is expected. The small acreage in tobacco has produced well, and most of the crop bas been housed. Millet aud cowpeas are ready to cut and are good crops. Onions. In Noble county, are yielding; well and moving to market In large lots. "Fall seeding has made fe.lr progress la the north and portloi u the central sections, but In the eastern counties of the central section and quite generally In the south section the work Is retarded or baa been entirely suspeuded oa account of tbe ground being too dry to work. Rain to needed In all sections, aud in many aoutbern countlea the drought la becoming serious, but little rain having fallen for more than a month, and not only ts fall seeding delayed, but pastures and stock axs lalsiug.
