Fluid nnd n Hotter Clues
of Trad : ,
A careful study of the financial situation In
Omnha for Ibo past six dnys reveals no fea
tures but these which nugur well for the
commercial prosperity of this city find Its
BurroutuUtiK territory. The relaxation of the
money rnnrlcct , while it has boon gradual , In
fact too much so to always plonso the borrow
er , tias novorlholcsA made steady progress
and raonoy Is now fairly easy In Omaha. It
would bo still o lor were It not tuat .busi
ness inon and capitalists : \ holding back , a
httlo llmld nhout otnharhlnc in now enter
prises for fear of that tiljjhtmaro of trade
known as hard tlmos.
Money also appears to bo nioro plentiful In
tbo smullcr cities and villages In the country
tributary tolhls city. Tbl * Is evidenced by
ca-sler collections , few failures and ft much
better feetlnj ; among the basinets men.
The conditions prevailing in the financial
world at largo hnvonfoo been favorable. A
week ago , as was noted at the time , some lit-
llo unoaslnos3 prevailed In the cast owing to
( Inuncial complication * across the \vator , but
they were short lived. The rucuporatlvo
powers of the jtrcat Htmnclal contorn of the
old world arc enormous and dllllcuUIcs ,
though they may bo great arc
BOOH overcome. The disasters \vlnch
havu overtnken English investments in South
America dunnir. tlio past six months have
taught Europe that no better or safer Hold
'
can'ba found for financial enterprises than
the United States and the ultimate result
must ho the placlngof vnstsums ot money In
this country by foreigners.
Till ! WIIOLESAI.n TlHim.
A good deal is being said about dull times
In the west , duo to n combination of circum
stances , such as short crops , hostile Indians
and legislator ! ) , but a careful inquiry Into tbo
nctunl trade conditions of this city will reveal
some facts that may , perhaps , bo a Httlo sur
prising to these unfnmllinr wltli the subject.
The retail trndo of the city has been rather
dull , but In spite of all drawbacks , the whole-
Bale trade of Omaha Is now bettor than over
before In tho'hlstory of thb city This may
seem strange , In view of the fact that large
sections of the state have been In a very baa
r condition from crop failures , but this really ,
cuts a small llguro , for thn western half of
Nebraska Is hardly a drop in the bucket as
compared with the great , extent of country
covered by Omaha jobbers. They have
pushed out farther than ever during the pist
six mouths , into the western states , sending
their representatives clear to the
Pacific const ; and again , on the
cast they have gene farther into Iowa ,
encroaching upon the territory of elder and
larger cities and lliidlng a most romuncratlvo
field. They have done more than this , for ,
besides covering a larger territory , they uavo
obtained a better class of trade than during
any previous year. Omaha jobbers have al
ways hnd to contend against the prejudice of
the largest retail dealers who have felt It beneath -
neath their dignity to buy in any city so far
west as Omaha ; nothing but Chicago , Phil
adelphia or Now York would do for them.
Omaha has grown In Importance in the
cyc3 of those people and they are find
ing that It is to their advantage to patronize
Nebraska's ' metropolis. Thorn is no denying
the fact that the retail trade of the westfrom
central Iowa to the Pacific const , is coming
to look upon Omaha , nioro and moro every
year , as their cointncrcial center.
The spring Is now at hand and the Jobbers
arc propaiing to put forth even greater of-
torts than before , as thcro ISA general feel
ing of contldcnco among them that the corn
ing season will bo most'favorable to all
branches of trade. Heavy stocks of poods
have been laid In and they are prepared to
handle any amount of business that may
come. The jobbers of eastern cities have
claimed for so long that in these cities only
could novelties and goods of the latest style
bo obtained that they have made some people
believe It , but if these people would visit
Omaha they would bo surprised nt the size
nnd variety of the stocks of goods carried by
the local jobbers.
The jobbers look upon the talk of Indian
troubles in the spring as a most , unfortunate
thlngaslt cannot do otherwise than soriouslv
impair trade on the northwest border , which
has heretofore been one of the most promis
ing Holds In the stnto.
Speaking about the Iowa business a gen
tleman connected with the transfer In COUP
ell Bluffs rrmnrlis that Omaha's ' tonnage
across the river to Iowa points is double what
it was a year ago. Thissocins like a pretty
big statement , but it only corroborates tun
clulms of the jobbers that their Iowa trade is
doubling.
In dry goodstrado has been coming up dur
ing the past six days , and Jobbers nro becom
ing quite enthusiastic over the prospects.
Traveling men are sending in good reports
from the far west , claiming that money Is be
coming much easier and that goods nro bound
to move freely during the summer. 1'riccs
on most lines 01 ury ROOUS nro sini.
The wholesale grocery trade Is In a very
healthy condition , Supra have absorbed
the most of the attention of donlors , owing
to the reduction on the flrst of the month ,
but that matter -was fully explained 'a weelt
npo. It may ho added , however , that refiners'
linvo stocks of sugars hero In the hands of
agents which will prevent there boliiu any
sugar fnmino before the flrst of tbo mouth , as
is the coso nt some other markets.
In hardware , trade has boon fair during
the week under review nnd Jobbers express
themselves ns fairly satisfied , for , wnllo ttioy
have not been rushed , they have been com
fortably busy. They are obtaining tno
heaviest part of their trade from Iowa and
the far west. Prices have not been materi
ally changed by the local houses. Barbed
wlro has been advanced by the manufactur
ers ? y.UO per ton , which mokes It very ttrm
hero , though there has boon no material advance -
vance , duo to largo stocks on hand. Wire
nails am weaker on account of the pressure
of manufacturers to soil , which may result
In a decline , unless ollsot by the colco strike ,
which would tend to limit production ,
COUXTIIY rKOlH'CE.
The wcolc past tins witnessed some Im
portant changes In the produce mnrkots of
this city. Notable among thcso changes was
the lump in etKs from 15o to 21 o nt the close ,
brought about by n temporary scarcity ,
.According to reports from the country , the
roads havu been In such shnpo ttml farmers
have not been visiting the towns and most all
Itlnds of country produce have consequently
been in light receipt. Hay wont up with i\
uoom to $14 or $1B per ton and wnsscarco
even nt those prices. An exception to the
pcnerul rulu Is found m butter , which has
been gradually weakening oil , until It Is
pretty hard work to pot 20o for oven the
choicest country rolls. Poultry sold at the
same old prices which have prevailed for
some two weeks , the market presenting no
now features worthy of notice. Chickens
have brought SQlOo , turkeys 14@10c , cucso
and ducks Il ( < l2c. About the only kind of
came In the market has been n few scatter
ing loU of rabbits , which sold at tl per dozen
for cotton t.ills and $2.GO for Jacks. Potatoes ,
onions , etc. , remain ns high us over.
Ornnpcs , which have been very cheap all
the Hprlnp- , are ndvanclnu In California nnd
it would scora that they nro likely to sell con
siderably Wither before the season is ovor.
In Italy the uamago to the orange and lemon
crops has been enormous nnd was caused by
n gale of wind which swept the leaves from
the trees , leaving the fruit without nnv pro
tection. It is estimated that about & > per
rent of the crop will be tit for shipment dur
ing May , Juno nnd July.
flT.CVUTIYC MJUtKHTS.
The trade in wheat at Chicago during the
past week has been a continuation of the
light between tlio strength of the foreign
situation mut the loal bearishness of the
homotriulors , caused by the splendid pros
pects of the growing crop and tholargo stocks
un hand. The market closes with a gain of a
Httlo ever Ic for the -week and there would
not seem to bo much prospect ot a serious
break unless the foreign situation should
yeakcu materially.
It has been u decided bull week In corn anil
oats , caused by the light rocelptJ and strong
cash demand which Lu Induced a buying
craze. Both markets closed at a decided ad
vance ever last weak.
Provisions have been strong and higher.
Itecolpts ot hogs neb 10 largo as expected and
prices on thorn wcro higher. 1'nckcrs seem
Inclined to soil men1) pork , but think , other
products cheap enough.

TIIK llr.n.l-On tlio boara ot trailo It was to-
sorvcdforlho lastdayot the \ cok to have
lie most sensational opening In tlio Icadlnz
grain market. Strong us whs the general ad
vance Into on Friday , and quickly as prices
weronmrfccd up lit com to a point ! So ever the
irovlous lilgh point on tlio crop , the oponlng
odnv eclipsed nil else. During the firs' hour
May wheat rose from tl.OU'i to Sl.Mf , nnd July
sold above St.00. Corn started with akmntlof
lotoSo over the cloio of yoiturUay , with May

started provisions strotiK nnd active , and pork
sold before call at 30d ever last night atSll.OO
for May , with July marked up to JI-.27 , Otlier
iroducts wcro up-lloto no from last night ,
'ontract stuff received was very small In pro-
lortlon , and on inspection Insignificant. Thcro
was a rousing big market In wheat most
of the session. Tliero were some
surprises outside of the Interest created by
: lie broad and strong market. The notion In
July by which the premium of May was nar
rowed from about 'J3 to exactly "c at ono time
was most significant. The news of the day
was , not startling In character , but trade gave
: nero attention to local operations than to ca-
jlcs atul other outsldo Influences. On the
artoftho general trade , the advance was
[ ought from thostart. Not only scalpers , but
many recognized bull houses were regarded
as short In the pit. Tnls opposition , together
with very free selllngof Mllmlne , While & Co.
and others , prevented a much morolllKhty ;
market early In the day. Ai It w. s the pni"0
was a lively ono. May started at tl.02 ! { ;

July on the Ion ; side , and White & Co. became
sellers of May nnd buyers of July. Oa this

The corn market -was a wonder and a mizzle.
The start was Indescribable The pit was ex
cited so that operators lost their heads and
made all sorts of trades thoflrstmluuto. Sales
of May during the tint flash were all the nay
f rom CGo to 68c , but business proper was mostly
uboroOTc. July also opened all the way from
02c to OOo , with trading after the. ' first moment
around 034c. ! On the early litrongth
and oxcltument May sold up to GSVc.
with rumors ot trade at COo. July rose quickly
toCC'ic. These were hlKh points and fully So
over any flRiiri's bpforo made on the crop.
Later tliero was asenoral letting down In
prices and bcforci tlio close May sold at GGUc ;
July , 04iC ? , and tlio closing prices were GfOJo
and C5Kc. A.t the close of the corn market It
wns conceded that a great deal of Ion ? corn
wasdtslodiedon the market at fancy Usurps.
This helped tn relieve the pressure just to
that extent. Tlio great ell ml ) In prices was
duo to tlio bidding by shorts and to the
equally strong bidding by the bulls to niako
the shorts nay up for the stulT. Nothing but
tlioiittltuuo of local operators had nnythlnR
to do with tlio excited whirl. The export
clearances for the \vcok \ showed a llcht de

THE BEE.I-It Is well enough thcsodnys to go ,
oppoilto of what Is lioard regarding stocks at
resortsof the nlfht provloui. Last night the
talk'was very bearish and the bank statement
wus held up us a bus-a-boo. InUcad of a soft
market tliero was considerable strcnth and
lmprovoncnt in prices where vcr changes oc-
currcdfrom lastnlKlit. As expected , positive
strengUi was shown In Ontario and Western.
The oponlng figures were lrroular and only
slightly chaiiRod from these of last evening ,
and succeeding transactions fulled to develop
any feature In tlio general list ,
tthllo four active stocks , St. I'aul. Northern
Pacific preferred , HurlInzton and OntarioSt
Western scored on ly slight advances , with the
exception of the last named. Ontario &
Western rose X per cent to I8J . when the

The stock market today has been utterly
quoted at all. What trading there wan was
professional mid fluctuations In prices wore
without foundations , Tlio slight rally under
which the market closed yesterday cccmcd to
have spent Its force with the day und stagna-
tlouhas been there .throughout the day. The
bankstatcmout , owing to a largo disburse
ment , showed ndocru.iso In the reserve fund
