TJIE OMAITA DAItiYlJBBj SUXDAY , DECEMBER 1 , 1805. 15 CONDITION OF OMAHA'S ' TRADE Local Bnsinoss Situation Showa Improve ment for tlio Better. COUNTRY COLLECTIONS ARE STILL SLOW J'nvornldc Wrnllirr Cnmtltlnnx fllvc Inipcfnn In HiiNlnr * * In .MoN < Mum of Triutc Coiirxi * of Hie AVIml xnlc Mil rite IN. A week ago It wns pointed out thnt trailo it this season If ) governed In a very large degree by the weather conditions , nnd that no Brent activity could fos expected In the movement of "anow" goods until there should bo a considerable fall of the "beau tiful. " The coining of snow and wet , ns well ns coM weather , na predicted , cntiseil n very mntcrlal Improvement In the demand for goods In most nil line * , and Jobbers nre unmistakably In a much better 'framo oC mind limn was the case n wcelc ago. Some houses have been very busy celling out rush orders , nnd all houses have , without exception , done n Rood business. Keporta from the country nre ot n hopeful character , speaking1 , ns they do , of n good demand on the part of retnll buyers for seasonable Roods that have remained , here tofore , on the shelves uncalled for. Collections do not show nny Improvement nnd while pobbers have been ns particular as possible during the past yenr or moro about credits there Is no denying the fact that money comes In slowly. An Increased movement of live stock from tills state has set In , nnd thnt will bavn a tendency to put morn money Into the country , drain Is not moving to nny extent , nnd n good many grain men do not expect to see any quantity of corn on the move before the Ilrst of the new yenr. GHOCHUY TIIAI3H FAIR. The demand for fancy goods Incident to Thanksgiving day helped to swell the total volume of trade In the grocery line lo very rospcclnble proportions. uoods went out quite freely , and the Jobbers generally ap- jiear to bo qulto well pleased with the re sults or the past week's operations. This Is In marked contrast to the complaints of n dull trndo and stagnant market that como from primary points In the cast. As to prices , there have been some changes of Importune ? . The manufacturers of llattlo Axe plug to bacco marked up their prlco 3 cents per pound. Carbon oils show n slight advance. Oil meal und beans are n trills caster. Coffee crop estimates from llrazll are In creasing , nnd while no serious break may develop before the end ot the year , there Is quite n common belief In the cast that the natural tendency ot the market will lie downward. The latest advices are to the effect that tlio mackerel catch on the American coast Is virtually ended. During the next few days a few fish may bo taken oft Cape Cod , but that will depend upon the weather. Knstern Jobbers arc complaining that there Is not the usual Interest In the do mestic products of staple procerles. Com mencing with rice , the record since the Ilrst nppcaranco ot the new crop has shown a halting method on the part ot buyers , under which the trndu has been sluggish nnd values unsullied. Molasses forms an other subject of complaint , ns buyers do not take hold with nny Interest. Members of the trade nre calling ntten- tclon to the steady resuscitation of the market for cocoa. This really desirable article of food appears nt last to have attracted n sulllciently broad demand to start n considerable quantity of stock In the channels of consumption , nnd advices from across the water Indicate that they are experiencing the same revival In the demand In ISurope. Nebraska sugar Is moving Into consump tion a little more freely , though not nearly BO fast as It ought. Figures have Just come to hand giving the ncreago of beets In the different countries of the world , which will be of Interest as showing the possibilities of tlie Industry.

SO. Wheat closed firm today without change In price for the May delivery , but 1 1-lGc lower for December. Near the close It was revealed that orders for -lOO.WO bu. of No. 2 red winter were re ceived today , but owing to an advance In the premium demanded by the holders , only 176,000 bu. were disposed of in round lots , 26,000 bu. of It nt 4 per cent premium over December and 150,000 bu. at n higher rate.

The New York Flntnller says this week : T."i statement of the associated banks of New Yoik Clly forniie , week enUlnir Noveml > cr 39 Is noth- Inc moro or'less thnn * a'be.latcd ' repoit of the buslnese of the. previous > wek. The changes aie due. partly "to the'KoiaVeJSiftrt rnovemem of th-j earlier part.'of.lliq'Currc'rfCw.eek ' ' , .byt they Include nisi' the later phlpmonts- the preceding week. According .to the statement the banks lost In cash during the week J2.077.ai5i ) . of wjilch $1M4,240 was In legal tender nnd J1S3.JOO In specie. . There was a heavy excess of Interior receipts nt this point during the same period , so that the decrease In cash more nearly represents the actual condition of. the bunks , nlthouc-h' the statement cannot b ; accepted ns accurate In showing the real standing of the banks lit the close of the 'week. The contraction - traction In .lo ns for the week was J2.CS2.SO ) . due perhaps to liquidation of the speculative- account more than from mercantile sources. Deposits have been contracting rapidly , the loss since September 14 having been no less than 131,0)0,01)0. The banks therefore nre In better position than was the can- earlier In the season , and this spasmodic ndvanc ? In the money rates of late Is justltied thus far , as they arc controlled by the showing. In the months of April , May und June List the deposlU of the New York banks wont from "J300OOQ.OOO to $373- 00),000 nnd the leservo Increased 123,000.000. Whether n rapid advance nt prepent In the money market would start another such Inllux Is doubt ful.

All told , only forty-one loads of cattle wore received , not enough to make very much of u market tinner the most favorable conditions. At the samt > time the demand was not nt all urgent nnd the buyers Indifferent. The trade on klllliiB cattle could bn summed up In a few words slow nud weak. In the stocker nnd feeder division there wns u lack of Interest , ns usual on the lasl day of the week , and the amount of busi ness doing was small. Owing to the break In the water main In Omaha there was a scarcity of water In the yards , which prevented the weigh ing of the cattle until after 10 o'clock. Representative pales : BEEP STEKnS.

Quito i Kood ninny hogn Hold nn that basis , and It noked as If thu packtrs would ho able to clear ho ynrda nt steady prlceii. The airlval of a liberal order from Armour for his Chicago house changed Iho situation.

Humors Imvo been rife for same time that a party ot British speculators who have mailo several fortunes In the South African gold stocks nro preparing to make a raid on the Btoclcs ot Crlpplo Creek , to buy up a number of claims , stock them for largo amounts anil after trading the stock back nnd forth among themselves tending prices skyward and creating public Interest and demand , letting go nt the top wave , leaving the purchaser with stock worth absolutely nothing. These rumors have been hoard In Cripple Creek and naturally enough people hava been anxious to learn who Is nt the hood of the syndicate propoalng to carry ou this gigantic swindle , for so It is called. It la known that none of the companies now operating are concerned In the deal. A vast number of companies have been In corporated In the past rlxty days , so many that It 1ms been almost Impossible ) to keep track of them , and claims have been sold all over the district , sometimes to local parties and sometimes to foreigners. Whether this block Is to be floated In the United States or only In London Is Jiot known , but It Is presumed for the present , or at least.In the Inclplency of the scheme- they will sell their stocks In England or on the continent , soaking the men who think they know all about Investing money , and after milking the old world dry will turu their attention to the United States.
