THE OMAHA DAILY KKE'SUNDAY , NOVEMBER 24 , 1305. 1 CONDITION OF OMAHA'S ' TRADE Local Business Situation Shows Little > " Ohangc for the Better.

The drop In the temperature nnil the inorc Reasonable weather lire Jim what they 1m vo been longlnK for , and under their Influence a de cided revival of business Is looked for. If there could only bo n Rood gnaw storm now to help out the cold weather , It would be well. Snow Is an Important factor In burincs * , nml especially no when It Is seasonable. There has been very little snow In the west In recent poasons , and It Is probibly titia that trade would be Improved by an early and more persistent fall of "the beau tiful" than has been experienced In Into years. Snow makes buslnrm In "unow" lines and Rives a snap to trade at thlt cea- son of tliu year ( lint nothliiB else can. aUOClSHV IJL'SINICHS FA1II. liiislncsH with the wholesale grocers re- inalnn In about the tame condition tut noted one week ago. The demand continues fair iind goo-Is arc gains Into consumption an fast ns could bo expected under the cir cumstances. Home chnrwes arc reported In the markft. Cut lonf and powdered miiriirn nro U cent lower , l.lmn IXMIIS arc easier. All advices from California coiillrin the lirevlous reports that the liberal -hlpments of ralHlns , A\hlch huvo had such n dl - aulotliiK effect upon the eastern markets Imve ceased , and the feelliiR among holdeis there la very llrm. The tlrst crop , thnuith n Rood one , ID Bald to have been smaller than was expected , and ns there was piac- tlcolly no second ciop this year , It would seem that thcie will not be an excessive supply , when It Is considered Unit Imported MuliiBii and Valencia raisins have come for ward In eompaiallvcly small nuantlLy and Imve not cut much of a llsuro In the calcu lations of the trade. , . AccordlnR to the previous undcmtanulnc nmorw the Maine packers of wmllnes all the fnctoilrs shut down for the season during the past week several weeks In nil- viinco of the usual tlmo for stopping work. A variety of causes induced the packers to cut the season short , prominent among which was the scarcltv of fresh tlsh , the low pi Ices obtained for packed Rooda and the illKiatlsfactlon of the workers In the factories with wages. HOOTS AND SHORS. For weeks there Imvo been complaints that the mild , dry weather prevented retail doulfr.s fiom selling winter Rood , hut the coM wave the latter part of the pat week was all that the most exacting could have desired , though a snow storm would have answered the purpose better. Despite the talk of hard times and dull trade , the fchoe business Is In very fair condition. Seasonable Roods are In demand undj pi Ing orders are beginning to come In nt a satisfactory rate. An nr ! of cheerful ness pervades the tiade and every jobber speaks hopefully of the outlook. DUY GOODS MODEHATK. It Is too early for spring goods to sell , nml ns retail stocks of winter Roods are not is yet broken to any extent. A heavy tiade f n the dry Roods line could hardly be ex pected Just now. Still there Is a fair busi ness for tills He.xson of the year , and local representatives of the trade are not com plaining. The course of the colton market the past week was against flrmncaa In thn price of staple cotton goods. Most leading makes are still In limited supply , however , nntl many of them still well sold ahead , and In these there have been little , 1C any , glvlns In 'the woolen and worsted goods dcpart- Tronts , now heavy weight coalings and c'.ay worsteds nro Felling nt advanced prices where such wore named. In other direc tions there had been but little change. I1AHDWAIU3 SHOWS IMPROVEMENT. Trade In the hardware line is penerally reported Improved during the past week , duj hugely td the Increased demand for season able goods Incident to tno- change In 'the weather. As to the market , some goods show a little weakness. Galvanized Iron Is oft about 5 per cent , and plain wire Is a trlllo easier. On the other hand , wire nails arc firmer. During the past week or two the market on nails has been In a rather unsettled condi tion. There wore n few mills outside of the association that wore not making many nails , but a good deal of trouble , and at last representatives of the association gave them the option of coming into the associa tion or meeting a cut of $1 on the price. The Independent mills chose the former and the result Is a llrmer market. TALKING EXCURSION. The recent excursion of the Jobbers and manufacturers of the city over the Omaha & St. Ixmli railroad line bids fair to icsutt In no small amount of business being se cured In ( he section of country visited. While very little effort was made to effect actual sales of goods several orders were booked and negotiations opened which must In the future lead to n largo business. / . T. I < indney , who bus been .selling goods In the aectlon of the country covered by the Omaha & St. Louis road , as far south ns Chllllcothe , Mo. , n.iyn that there Is no better territory for Omaha jobbers. "It is surprising , " said Mr. Llndbcy , "to look up the rating of thu merchants and see how many of them nro iiuoted worth J100.000 or moie. They nro prompt about meeting their obligations , and If a jobber once makes their acquaintance , and treats them right , he can hold their tiado for years. All of us send traveling men Into distant sections of the tant and out-of-the-way west , where towns 010 far apart and the population scattering , and neglect the ilcher and more populous country close at hand. If we would do less woik In terri tory like New Mexico , where It costs to much to keep men on the rend , and do more work In the near-by sections of Iowa and Mlrsourl It would pay us all better. He- Hides supplying the country with merchan dise Oiunlui ought to handle all the live stock In northern MlMtouil and southern Iowa along the line of the road in ques tion. Thousands of carloads of cattle and hogs mo hhlppcd to Chicago , St. l.ouls ami oilier points th.it ought to como heie , nnd It would Fcem us If every one Inter ested In the slock yards at South Omaha ought to make a stiunu pull for that busl- . A. II.

HlDiSS AND TALLOW. The market on country hides has slumped ngaln under the depressing iicvvs fiom all the lltinnclal nnd comiiiprclal click's , says thu Chicago Shot- and Leather Review. The dealers on Kln/le and Michigan atics-ls nre nlv.aj.s Impressionable nnd a very little bear talk causes u Reneinl scramble to soil. At thli writing the markel appeals com pletely demorallied. but the undoubted scarcity of hides will aealn luevrnr continued decline. Tlicru Is tome diversity uf opinion and the dealera do not agioo upon quotitluns. Tnc most pio. nounccd beai factor Is the almost complete nb- since of biiM-rs , ulther In putnui or u-piesented by Lids. Ihe dc.ilers can eland an ) thing bettet than neglect.

Dullness wn < ? tbe clilcf fenturc of the speculntlvc trade loduy. There nre only small fractional illfterenccs between yesterday's nnd today's closing pilcci. Wbcnt nnd provisions show no clinnRc whatever , nnd corn Is He lower for November , l-16c loner for December and May fts before. The demand for cash wheat was confined to carloads to go to country mllla In contlRitoua states , nnd those fooled up n considerable total , prob- nbly 60,000 bu. ; some claimed 100,000 bu. Much of that \vns through-billed sprlns wheat , which Is belnu wanted In Increasing quantities week by week by millers In the Winter wheat districts. New York reported Imvlnir a Rood many export ordcts from the United Kingdom for spring wheat , but limited below current pi Ices. An Increase of from 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 bu. In the visible supply wai the range of the guesses on that subject. Chicago receipts for the day were 250 cars , against 399 cars n week ago , nnd 117 cars on the parallel day of the year before. De cember wheat opened at from ECc to 5G'.8c , Impioved to B6Hc , nnd held nround that for the greater portion of the remainder of tin * ilny. 31 ny worked laboriously up to GO'NC Horn CO'lo nt the opening , nnd the hulk of the subsequent transactions was nt CO'ic.
