The course of business during the p.ift
ivcok has fthoAit the restrictive Inllucnci'i )
usual nt thlH nenson In full force. There ha
been a limited attendance of btiyi'ri ' from
the Country nnil the demand corning for-
warel has been small to what It was n few
weeks IIKO , but buyers iiru not expected to
ope rule with nny degree of freedom Im-
incillnlely before , or Immediately after the
hoMnyn ; , no that the situation has been
normal. Stock-InklAg operations and other
tnattcm pertaining lo the winding up of the
yenr'H1 business have occupied the attention
of Jobbers and retailers alike , no that the
prevalllnK < iulctmlc has not In any way
been n disappointment.
While the Immediate present has been un
eventful , the future , however , scorns bright
with promise nnd business men In nil dc-
IiartmcntH of trade nrc Hiving expression to
the most IIOIL-"UI ; pi < > dlctlons as lo the course
or Me rprlng Hade , Then- has probably
iie-ver bi'i-n u time ' -Alien Omaha Jobbers
felt nny more secure of their position or
when the prospect seemed more Inviting ,
In the ie-tnll department there his been
a fair business doing , at the weather has
been Inviting to shoppers , but the trading to
n conquerable extent has been In a small
way. or at least that has been the ex
pel lence ; of n good ninny local retail IIOUM-S.
Killl Hie buying that Is going on I * of a
vtry fair e-haraetcr considering the season
nnd tin ; further fact that thu cold we.ithtr
In De-cumber In luceel a large proportion of
consumers lo provide thennelves completely
wllh winter goods of all kinds.
The bank clearings of the P st week
showed a large Increase over thu 'ptcvlous
year , but uhtit was still better they were-
very largo f ° r 'l11llrst ' 'eik In January ,
thowlng tl-al n large volume of liu'lne" Is
d Ing feir the time of year. In the country
ut large , howi-vi-r , the money nnd banking
situation Is not entirely lo the llUIng or
these most Intetrslod. There Is enllrely
too tniirh money to put .he holders In a ' - ' um-
fortfihle frame of rnlnil and there Is a
tendeni-y among banka to roduc-e rates of
Interest on deposits nnd scare away Idle
money The savings banks In the eal l ,
while not culling down tne rate of In
terest in many Instnnces , me- reducing the
Interest p'llel by ri'slilcllng the plivllcecs of
withdrawing and depositing ,
At South Omaha a fair business was done
the past week , though the cattle situation
Is still rather un atlsfncto y , 1'acklng In-
leresls are walling for an Increased de
mand for beef from Ihe. east and until that
comes tlu-re can hardly be nny great Im
provement In the volume of business. The
work on the Armour packing house Is
progressing favorably and the prospect for
thu spring Is vury encouraging.
CANNED GOODS SITUATION.
In the whole line or the grocery trad
there I * nothing nt the present time that I
utlraeting so much attenllon as canned
Koods Kvery turn of the wheel is watched
with Interest and still there docs not appear
to bo much doubt In the minds of tne trade
ns to the future of canned goois. as all
predictions look toward higher prli-cw.
Kaste-rn canned goods , both fruits and
vegetables' , nre In a very strong position ,
which Includes very nearly the entire line.
Small frnlt packing , owing to the un
usually low 'prices ruling at the height of the
packing season , was very much curtailed
while thu consumptive demand , being niuc-i
grcatur llils year than last , prices ) have
theru luiH been a big shortage In the pad : ,
will come onto the market with the boards
bare. AH an example of the extent of the
ndvnnce that has taken place during the
last few months two-pound canned straw
berries opened In llulllmorc al ( cents pel-
dozen , nnd nre now quoted nt OOcflSl.CO , and
two-pound blackberries opened at 37Vi cents
uml arc tiuw worth Co cents.
dinned tomatoes appear to be attracting
more attenllon than anything else In the
line nnd the market Id.really higher In the
cast than It Is In thV west. At the ) present
time three-pound Baltimore atandards could
not bu laid down here for less than $1 per
do/.un and a good many of the wise ones
talk of a $1.B market before the now pack
comes to hand. Stocks of both canned corn
und tomatoes In hands of packers arc lighter
than they have been before for years. All
Indications would seem to favor higher
prices on these goods , especially tomatoes.
The causes for the present firm market for
canned goods are very plain to any one who
lias given the subject thu least attention.
With the exception of a very few localities
theret has been a big shortage In the pack ,
especially In Indiana and Ohio. For n num
ber of years past there has been a great
boom In the canning business nnd every
town that could raise a few hundred or a
few thousands dollars In the way ot n bonus
Btarted a canning factory , In many cases the
farmers , who were anxious for a market
for fruit and vegetables helped place the
enterprise on Its feet. In a great many
cases the projectors , and In fnct the man
agers of the farlorles , were onllrely with
out experience In that special line and svlth
the business overdone It was not strange
that they operated at a. loss , Afler Huveral
yean ) of steady losses a good many faclorles
Biivo It up a year ago and remained closcel
during the packing season. That could
account for the shortage In many localities
In Nebraska only three out of a total of
twelve canning factories > wcre operated last
season , showing how unprofitable the bus
iness has been.
During the week the representative of a
western cinnlng factory has received a
letter from n prominent canned goods broker
In a large eastern city asking what he had
to offer In the way of lomatoes and nt the
fame time adding : "Our eastern Jobbers
must look to the west for nippplles ejn
iircount of e-nstorn packing being so nearly
exhausted. II may seem strange to ? hlp
tomatoes east , but at this time It Is ap
parent to the writer that he're Is no
nlternntlve " Tnl < would seem to bo another
Indication that such we-stern faclorles as
wuro fortun'ito ' enough to operate last sea-
6011 are Plu'ly to reap a good harvest.

"Hastily reviewing the net results for 1S97
In Omaha I find I ho stock receipts and ship
ments largely lncreancil ; the packing hotue
far In exoecs of any oilier year In

Hhoad of 1S92 , the last banner year ; the In-

distilleries exceptionally large ; the product
of the. breweries exceeding any other twelve
months and the general volume of jobbing
trade larger by a handsome figure than the
normal aggregate.

"In thu state there In a complete trans

Inimlrt'ils of thousands of fat cattle and
several million * of sheep being fed for the
market , to say nothing of crowded granaries
pud corn cribs , millions of hay stacks and a
largely Increased production of sugar , chic
ory , hemp and dairy article : ) . It goes out
on the undisputed fact that from Chndron
to llulo and from Omulm to Klmball the.
volco of city , village and farm IH keyed to
one tone and that chorda with contentment ,
comfort and prosperity.
"Tho Commercial club hta been very
active through the year and has done a
van ! amount of good work for this city. If
It had done nothing more than bring the
people ot Omaha face to face with the man
agement of the PHtsbUrg & Oulf rallro.id
nt the dinner last evening- would deserve
the commendation of the community , Kvery
real was filled nt the banquet board and the
entire occasion was ft complete success. The
npw road nnd Its constituency understand
nch other better now than ever and our
people will thoroghly appreciate the Im
portance of the n&v connection. I wnfl
pleased with the hpnrly reception which was
accorded the Sllllwell party nnd llkewloe
gratified at the Interest manifested by the
visitors.
"It Is almost nn old story now to talk of
the prosperity ot Individual houses during
the year 1&97 , but a few facts may Illustrate
what R superior year we have Just passed
through. One of our large Implement houses
doubled Its business during U97 ns com
pared with ISM ; nnother'Increnxod Its busi
ness 31 per cent ; one Implement house has
Just given an order for l.ott ) vehicles ; one of
our hardware houses shows a net profit for
the year ot more than 10 per cent upon Its
capital ; the drug trade has Increased by n
largo percentage and the credits In all llnc
were never to good In nil the history of the
town. One of our large houses here In
creased Us business J2TiOOOO In 1K)7. ) The
largest grocery house In Omaha Is authority
for the statement that the grocery trade
was larger by hundreds of thousands of
dollars than ever before In the history of
the city. The. Immense volume of the trade
of the city during 1S97 as revealed at the
Commercial club In Judge McHugh's speech
Friday night Is almost beyond belief and
yet the figures quoted by the. gentleman
named arc bellevd a fair reflection of facts ,
"As to 1S9S I sec no reason why the for
ward movement should not continue , nnd I
expect It to reach every branch of trade and
commerce In this city and state. 1 ilrmly
bellve wo are entering upon a year of un
exampled prosperity , "

CHICAGO , Jnn. S.Vhcat nveraged
cnsler todny over A moderate range. Trad.
Ing , though not especially heavy , was of a
nervous character nnd caused many quick
changes. Mny closed at Uc decline. Firm
cash markets and a good export demand
saved the market from a more severe
break. Corn lost He. Oats closed un
changed , and provisions 2&74c ! higher.
The action of wheat during most of the
early morning was In line with the early
news. The rain and cold wave predicted
by the weather bureau failed to materialize ,
which rather weakened those who yester
day had become Inoculated with the virus
of fear for next season's crop. Liverpool
showed Hd advance , which was hardly up
to expectations , nnd early Argentine news
was quite bearish nn regards the shipping
surplus of that country , a llosnrlo cable
estimating It -16,000,000 bli. According to
Uradstrcet's report of the week's exports
of wheat and Hour from both coasts of the
United States und Canada they wcro 3.4S1-
676 bu. , against 5 , 45,000 bu. the previous
week. ThH net result , of these sevprnl
pieces of Information was the creation of a
somewhat nervous feeling at the opening
of business , May wheat started at from
91c to Kllic , against 31T4c nt the close yes
terday , nnd In about half nn hour It had
got down to 91lft91Uc. ! The Duluth market
came again to the support of the bulls by
advancing cash wheat there from 91c to
92Uc In a few minutes. It was thought
here that thu advance could have been und
probably was manipulated from Chicago.
It had a bullish effect , notwithstanding ,
Paris and Antwerp each quoted a moderate
advance for the day , and that was an ad
ditional bullish factor that helped the
market to recover from 01Ui$91Uu to gl'&c. '
The receipts nt Minneapolis and Duluth
were 3. " > 7 cars , against 17-1 cars the similar
day of last year. Chicago receipts were
4S curs , 11 of them contract. There were
transferred from unlicensed to licensed
houses 22,000 bu. of No. 1 northern spring ,
nine cars of No. 2 spring and one car ol
no grade. The Atlantic port clearances of
wheat and Hour exclusive of Newport News
were equal to CSO.OOO bu. Primary market
receipts were 3 ) ,0tt ) bu. , against 226.COO bu ,
the year before. Other advices from Ar
gentine put the available export surplus nt
1.000,000 tons , or about 37"W,000 bu. , In
timating at the same time that holders were
anxious sellers to Europe nt lower than
American prices. Ileerbohm estimated the
week's clearances from nil ports'to ' Europe
this week at 6,400,00 ! ) bu. Unltlmore re
ported a large quantity of wheat sold for
export after close of 'change yesterday and
foreign bids todny at Ic over yesterday s
bill nrlc8. ! The latter Information , to
gether with the higher quotations from
the continent nnd heavy Atlantic exports ,
caused n further brief rally to 917/f.c , but It
quickly slid off ngtiln to UIUc , and was at
that point ten' minutes from the close. In
that ten minutes , however , the marjjct
turned strong again and at the close May
was offered at 91ic.
Huplness In the corn pit as dull and prices
moved reluctantly and within a small
range. The close showed a decline of Ho.
The feature was the absence of country
selling , the country on the contrary doing
a little buying. There was a llttlo seljlns
pressure toward the end , sulllclent to canse
the slight decline which marked the close.
May ranged from iO'.fen to 29i4c , nnd closed
nt 2H4 ! f29a c.
Oats was dull and without especial fea
ture. Market was easy at the opening , due
to sympathy with wheat. The sllpht de
cline was recovered Inter under fairly good
general buying , the close showing no
change change' from yesterday. Cash mar
ket was llrm at a slight advance. May
rancod from 2.17Ai'Jlc ( to 23f(23 ( = ic , closing
ut'STic. .
Provisions were strong nt the start nnd
at no time during the session did the mar
ket show any signs of weakness. A small
run of hogs started prices hlg-her. Com
mission hoiiKcs bought liberally , apparently
for the same Interest , ribs belnp In espe
cial demand. At the close May pork was 'ac
higher at J9.42V4 : May lard , 2' c higher at
$1 90 , and May ribs , 5o higher at $4.75.
Estimated receipts for .Monday : Wheat ,
TO cars ; corn , 5."iO cars ; oats , 330 cars ; hogs ,

OMAHA Ol-Tirn , Jnn. . i Cables this
morning were % c hUhc'r' ' fn sympathy
wllh Ihn advance In our ttinrUet yesterday.
which did not Influence any dmnKr In our openIng -
Ing prices. The receipts nnd jhlpments of wheat
were llKht nnd p'nctleilly n t na oft. A ihort
time after the opening the fnnrket grew weak
nnd1 declined Nc and Inter l-eeoxeretl to and
closed nt 91Hc for May , or ' .ic under yesterday's
price , the came difference lln registered In
the July option. This action In the futures of
wheat Is entirely n professions ! and locnl fea-
lure. The cish tliuntlon continued very slrong ,
closing at ? ic higher than yesterday , or at IHc
premium over the May cpllon and 10'io over
July , which Indicates the healthy condition of
values for this crop and upholds the belief In He
strength. |
Although receipts of corn were moro than Ihiee
times the shipments , the price only declined We.
whkh Is comparatively nothing when compared
with wheat and IU receipts and shipments.
The prlco of oats did not change , holding
steady upon on excess of CO.OOO bu , in shipments
over receipts.
The rsllmnted receipts for Monday nre 00 cars
of wheat , CM cars of eon : nnd 330 cars of oats ,
which compare favorably with the lost few days
and no doubt will atcdst In the Increasing of the
prlco of cash grain.

NEW YORK , Jan. 8. There was proni laklng
on quite a laigc wale In Ihe. stock market today
after an additional advance111 prices In tl'u
early Iradlng. That there should be taking of
quick proilts after such a sharp rise as Hint of
the last two days was to be expected , and the
professional dealers who bought stocks late on
Wednesday nnd Thursday'sold their holdings
of thu most active and' , utronKCSt Issues. The
realizing wan quite pronounced In Us effect on
New York Cent-nl and Sugar , which leaded more
Ihan n point from the high level of the moraine.
Them was evidence of continued realizing also In
the local traction companies. These itot'ks have
advanced steadily all through the dullness and
depression of the last few weeks , appaiently on
pool derations , and the present general slrenglh
of the market Is beln&l availed of lo lake prollls
In these. Some of the anthracite group also con
tinued under depression In tlie das' . Notwith
standing these reactionary lendencles the general
tone of the speculation continued slrone and ' 'on-
fldenl. Iluslnes UUH on n large scale and em
braced u large number of different Issues , some
of the usually Inactive Flocks being brought Into
prominence by thorn advances. The pressure of
largo suimi of newly disbursed money seeking re
investment war , ifllected In the demand for high
grade Investment stocks , the Vanderblltg ad
vancing on an average u point or more. Lake
Hhore was helped by the report that some t20-
44'XM ' of its high Inlerest bonds had already
been exchanged for the refunding 3'.is wllh the
consequent saving In annual Interest charges of
I5S8.675 , The demand for lunds also continued
very heavy , ' There.- was one tiuniaullon of tlW-
000 of New York Central and Ht. Ixiuls 4s nt
10V. Prices of hlsh gradu bonds generally are
now at the highest and the presume of Invtst-
rnent forces money Inlo Ihe middle and low
grade Issues. Realizing nt the close reduced
priceti considerably from Ihe best , and In pome
cases wiped eiut earllci gains. This caused an
easy closing , with net dunces mixed between
gains and losses. The expe-led has happened
In the stock market ( Ills week In an outbmik of
hcmclhlng very like u furi'reof speculation , re
sulting In an upward rut-h of prices of pretty
much all grades of securities. There W.IB a. halt

PATTM3 Only twenty loads of cattle of
all Hinds were reported in the yards and the.
market was quU-t , even for n Saturday.
The offerings , however , wcro all taken and
at prices that were , about the winu > ns prc-
vallod on yesterday's market There were
no choice cnttlo ot any kind In the yards
and nothing to put a top on the market , so
that the sales were without notc-.vortl.v
fpn tu re
in some respects the cattle market of the
past week has been more favorable to the
selllriR Interests and then * Is a growing
feeling among many that the worst of tin-
depression so manifest just previous to and
during the holidays Is ever with. At the
same time the demand for the product Is
still rather limited and until the country
calls more loudly for beef It will not take
many cattle to keep the markets fully sup
plied. During the past week therp have
been some Indications of a better demand
and upon that f.ict are ba'od the hopes for
Ihe future- .
At this point the supply of cattle has been
very light for ome time past , hardly enough
cattle being here on some days to make a
maiket , and supplies have by no means
been largo at other m.irkot points. The
moderate receipts have given values a
stronger tendency.
The absence from the market of good
cattle Is quite a noticeable feature of the
present situation. Some assert that there
are very few good cattle In the country
and claim that for some reason the cattle ,
have not laid on fat ns readily as usual.
Be that as It may , It Is a fact that no
prime cattle are coming forward at this
point and other markets are receiving very
few. Shippers are still being cautioned to
avoid rushing the cattle in too rapidly If
they do not -wish to demoralize the market.
A feature of the cattle trade Is the firm
ness of the market for stockers In spite of
the dullness of fat cattle. While the de
mand for stocker. " nnd feeders Is not very
large. It IH strong , nnd during the past week
well bred 3.10 to COO-pound steers sold as
high as SI.GOJN.'j. Representative sales :
