The last week has borne witness to a very
satisfactory volume of business doing In
piiictlcally alt departments of trade. In the
jobbing district moat every one has been
wed occupied nnd the representatives of the
trade nrti , generally np.aklng , In u most
enthusiastic : manner , not only of present
conditions , but of futuru prospects au well.
1'hi ; ctuntry , according to Jobbers' Ideas , la
In excellent condition already , and Is stead
ily Impiovlng , nnd the consuming demand
for nil cl.tsHes of merchandise can hardly be
otherwise thtm very large.
It nppcars 10 maUu very little difference In
what department Inquiries nre made the
nnsvv.jM all Indicate a very atlsfactjry con
dition of business , together with bright
jiro. < | ifetH for thu future.
The wholesale grocers are doing the larg
est business feir thp tlmo of year In their
history , lutall dealers In all sections of
tributary territory tnu buying freely , and at
theeame time collections were never better ,
No one connected with the wholesale
Krocory trade1 con d be found In the city
who had anything but good words to say of
tin- condition of trade.
The dry goods people have done a phe"
njincnal business for some time past and
country merchants are still buying freely.
Although t . < velum of spring business to
date Is very laigtIt Is a fact that a prcat
many meichants have not as yet stocked
ui > , 20 that therr Is a largo amount of busl-
nc-tm to be , rt'ckoiu-d with still.
In boots nnd shoes a fair amount of busi
ness H bclnR transacted , but there has been
oiii > drawback. The weat.ier so far has bfen
to > diy. March to dale has not brought
enough stormy weather.Vrt anil slushy
snuWHtorniH and heavy spring rains are
re ( led to give more activity to the demand
for rubber goods of all hinds.
tin ; sections of tributary territory there
Is A ar .i amount of bu : ding doing and that
fact ofi'eis .1 ready explanation for the con
dition of tie trade In lumber and builders'
hardware.
In local retail circles there has been a
very satisfactory business doing. The
sprint like weather haa Induced shoppers to
come emt tit full foroe , whllu the character
of the weather wns sticli as to stimulate the
buying of spring Roods. On most days of
the week under review the stores were
thronged with buyers , and the total volume
of sales must have amounted up to a very
large figure. One thing that Is making a.
JiT'mt difference with the local retail trade
IK t'K- Increase In the volume of money In
Benernl circulation. Consumers nre buying
once rnoro with their old-time liberality and
freedom and are ; not disposed to clip the
corners so closely.
AT SOUTH OMAHA.
At South Omaha the condition of the cat
tle market has been of a most satisfactory
character. The advances which have been
chronicled recently have held good , Indicat
ing to some e-xtcnt nt least that there Is
n active consuming demand and that It Is
of a kind that can afford to pay good prices.
The weakness of foreign markets failed to
depress values at this point , nnd beef cat
tle have soM all the week at remunerative
prices. What Is better still the prjspect Is
most encouraging , as all Indications seem
to point to continued firm prices , which
xnenns that the > farmers and feeders of NP-
uraska. will make plenty of money out of
their cattle and will In consequence be In a
position to meet old obligations and at the.
eamo time have plenty of rmney with which
to become buyers of merchandise of al
kinds.
Among the reasons for this expectation Is.
the fact that the advance in prices has
failed to bring out any great number of
1 cattle , nnd that receipts have conttnuci !
quite moderate , showing that the country Is
in no hurry to sell and nt the same time
that thcre > Is no great surplus of cattle In
the country. Another encouraging feature
Is furnished by the fact that exporters have
engaged ti great deal of vessel room. In
fact , all that Is to be had. and that they are ,
making great prepartlons to ship a good
many cattle out of the country. Who | ! ths
foreign markets at present are too low It I
figured by the wise ones that beef will bavp
to advance In England when the possibility
of securing any more cheap beef In this
country is cut off. In other words that the
English market will have to go up with the
American Instead of the American going
down with the English.
While U looks at present as If the farm
ers of the west would makp good profits on
the feeders which they bought at such ex
travagantly high prices last fall , owing to
the advance In the price of bee-f cattle It
Is not to be expected that such prices can al
ways be maintained and the boJm. like all
ether booms , svlll burst In time. When the
end comes It Is freely predicted that some
of those farmers who are wildly buying all
kinds of ptock cattle at fabulous prices will
find themselves loaded up- with a lot of
( worthless stock for which they have gone
deeply In debt.
IP WAU SHOULD COME.
Owing to the sensational reprts that have
emanated from the peat of government dur
ing the last two weeks or more , local busi
ness men have been discussing to some ex
tj , tent the effect that war would have upon
' . business operations In the middle west. Of
l the men who 'were nt the bead of business
institutions at the time of the late war there
ere but few left nnd It may bo said that
nn entirely new generation of business men
has grown up since Miat time ? o that the
opinion : ! advanced are largely a matter of
( speculation. The consensus of opinion
among Omaha business men appears lo be
that from the very start the e-ffe-ct of a
rwnr upon values would be. to give them a
downward tendency. For a time the whole
tendency would be In that direction , but If
the American arms were fairly successful
and thei breaking out of war -were not fol
lowed by a great national reverse , there
( would soon come n rcap.tlon. The conduct
of a war for any length of time would re
quire grvat quantities of food , clothing and
supplies of all kinds and all surplus stock *
Would be rapidly reduced. The purchase * of
* uppllen by the government would place
largo sums of money In general circulation
( While the manufacture- fre h supplies
( would create- demand for labor. It l not
generally believed that war at the present
tlmo with a foreign power would have such
o. marked effect upon prices as was ex
perienced during the- rebellion , because of
the strong financial position of the govern
ment. Without exception the business men
of Omaha nre going ahead with their buM-
ness plans , paying no attention to the war
cloud.
JOUUERS AND MANUFACTUnEHS.
During the last week the German Yeast
itml D.tklng I'owdi-r company published tn
The IJee a statement of the. condition of Its
business , which spoke very well as to the
condition of what haf come tc
an Important manufacturing Industry In
this city.
A business man remarks that ono of the
fcpst Indications of the course , of business Is
fforde-d by the class of good * that Is belnu
called for from the country. Country people
ple like good goods , especially those thut art
( ftx > ll mude > , but during the hard' times they
readily adapted themselves to the necessl.
tics of the times and bought according to the
elzo of their pocketbooks. There Is now 1Ca
constant Improvement In the clas-a of mer
chandlsu that Is going Into the country , 01
perhaps It would be nearer the. truth to saj
that there. Is a largo gain In the quantity c :
high grade merchandise- that 1 ? being sole
In the country. Down nt the Nvbraska Shir
factory the management has been forced t (
put on extra help nnd In spite of that or
Bcrs arc piling up on them. A very largt
part of thin Increased demand comes fron
the larger country towns -where the buslncsi
ir.en , now that times are better , are havlnt
( heir shirts made to order.

CHICAUO , March 19. Stny whcnt broad *
cncil Into nn active market today. An In
sistent domaml fiom nhorta sent the price
up to 11.07 durlnR the early part of the
session , but heavy sales by Letter broke
the price badly toward the close. Final
prices pl.ownd a decline of 2io In May and
SifiTlc In July. Favorable weather and ex
pectations of heavy receipts Monday were
factors In the decline In both options. Corn
and oatH both broke with the late slump In
wheat , corn closing unchanged and oats
about \ic \ lower. Provisions were heavy and
closed ofii'/ic lower.
The opening In wheat was Irregular.
Traders In July rather looked with favor
on the selling side , as the cold wave , which
was expected to follow the rnlns , did not
materialize and there was apparently no
prospect of any serious drop In tempera
ture. Cables failed to respond to the
strength shown here yesterday. Tills caused
some liquidation In July at the outset , openIng -
Ing prices being nt WTM'kGc , showing Uc
decline. There the market halted. May
was strong from the start. Shorts were
active , lildders for this delivery , which
opened Vic higher nt J1.06 , and heavy buyIng -
Ing soon sent prices up to Jl.OCJiThe de
mand for May and the advance In that fu
ture soon brought July shorts Into the pit
to protect themselves , heavy buyers of yes
terday coming Into the market again and
the demand became general. The irjuilt was
a , gradual advance to C'.4c. ' Realizing then
pel In and a reaction to fcG&c took place ,
May nt the same time dropping to H-06 % .
The dropping off In the northwest receipts
was a helping Influence. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 312 cars , against 375 last
week and 412 a year ago. Chicago receipts
were 121 cars , fifty of contract grade. The
day's clearances of wheat and Hour from
Atlantic ports were heavy , amounting to
500,000 bu. , but this was In a measure off
set by the heavy primary receipts , 465,000
bu. Continental markets were steady. The
reaction In both options was of short dura
tion. The demand soon became heavy
again , especially In May , the price of
which was sent up to $1.07. July advanced
to S0ic TAIO advance was well maintained
up to It o'clock when the market began
gradually to give way. Letter's brokers
had meantime been selling heavily of May
at top figures and as shorts became filled
up the demand .from this source decreased.
Liquidation , however , did not become gen
eral until heavy estimated receipts for Mon
day were posted. This brought In a flood
of realizing orders and prices late In the
session broke very rapidly. Letter kept up
his selling of May to the last and probably
disposed of over 1,000,000 bu. In the lawt
few minutes early buyers became sellers
and with this added weight of liquidation
the market became very weakt though July
did not suffer so much ns .May. Closing
price for the latter option was J1.03 , July
closing at SoViOSj sC.
Up to the last half hour of the session
corn was slow but steady at a slight ad
vance. Enormous clearances and the
strength of wheat were the Influences. The
late break In wheat brought about free
offerings , principally from yesterday's buy
ers , and the market closed easy. May
ranged from 20'4 ( < I29aC to 29V4 and closed
unchanged at 20'/4c.
Oats early were firm. There was good
general buying , mostly through sympathy
with the wheat strength , and prices ad
vanced slightly. Support was withdrawn
when the late decline In wheat took place
and prices dropped off. May ranged .from
25it-Gc ; ( ? to 25c and closed a shade lower
nt 2523 c.
Provisions were easy with a slow trade.
A weak undertone existed , very little sup
port being given from any source , and
prices sagged from the start. Packers
were moderate sellers. Very little demand
from shorts At .the. close May pork was
74c lower at J9.S214. May lard Bo lower at
J5.10 and May ribs Go lower at $5.03.
Estimated receipts Monday : Wheat , 225
cars ; corn , 240 cars ; oats , 290 cars ; hogs ,
30.000 head.

terday 2o7 : ; , one week ago 2.10S , two win-Its
ago 1,137. Although no great run Is ever
anticipated on a Saturday , the market all
the week was so encouraging to shippers
that It was only reasonable to expect pretty
decent receipts. The rain yesterday' was
probably In part the cause of the day's re
ceipts being the lightest In Iwo weeks : The
market as a whole was in good shape and
practically everything so'd early with no
nr-prtciable change In values.
lioef Steers The mast of the fat cattle
were nut overly good , but there was one
bunch good enough t'o bring $1.80. The mar
ket was active at Just about steady prices
and thu offerings were not long In llndlng
buyers. ;
Uutchers' Stock Only n few cows and
heifers were on sale , and ns the demand
\uis good they moved off very readily at
unchanged prices.
Stock Cattle The few loads of Btockers
and feeders in first' hands sold early and
the trade was soon over with , no new
features being brought out.
The Week Receipts of cattle the past
week fell n little short of the previous
week's record , but still there was a < falr
run. The market ns a whole was In very
fair condition and prices paid generally
eatlsfactory to sellers. The fact that there
was an active demand all the week that
was fujly equal to , If not In excess of , the
supply was the rsal cause of values being
so well maintained. The tendency of cattle
values at other selling polnto was down
ward and for the week very material re
ductions were made In some cases. At this
point , however , desirable beef cattle Just
about held their own. Common and. half-
fat cattle , owing to a , falling off In the de
mand for suoh cattle. Cor feeding purpos.es ,
were not such good Kellers as they were u
whlls back and prices cased oft somewhat
for that reason. Cow stuff sold well all the
week without material change In prices.
Light stock cattle were In active demand
and were quick sllcrs at very strong prices.

and only lo lower than the eloso of the prt-vmii !
week. While tlic demand was equal lo ln re-
