CONDITION OF OMAHA'S ' TRADE
jotbsrs and Hotallcrs Allko Well Pleased
with Local Situation.
SPRING WEATHER IS A HELP TO SOME
Gradual Improvement ( tic Order in
Qlnrcli-.Tenilencr of Viiluc * .
Uuniifncdircil Good *
Live Slack
The month of March has been cliaractcr-
Ized by a steady movement In the accus
tomed channeJn of local trade , nnd reports
from most other points bear \vltncB3 to the
( act that a similar state of n ft aim Is appar
ent In mast all sections of the country ,
especially In the west. In almost every dJ-
purlmcnt of the jobbing trade It U safe to
uaaumc , from the visible signs , that a vol
ume of business Is already In Bteiit that will
prove by comparison with recent years
( airly unprecedented.
Advices fronj representatives on the road
indicate ) a very prosperous condition of af
fairs In tributary territory. The farmers
and stock growers of the , country have
marketed grain and live stock sufllclent to
enable them to pay current obligations nnd
they tire buying quite freely of all kinds of
merchandise. What Is more , country mer
chants arc anticipating a continuance of the
present very satisfactory consuming demand
and are accordingly placing liberal orders
with local Jobbers * .
The retail trade of Omaha during the last
Blx days was fairly active. The cold wave
the middle of the week rendered the weather
a little disagreeable and reduced the num
ber of buyers on the street somewhat , and
nt the sumo tlmo reminded consumers that
.It Is still early to expect continued spring
Weather. Btlll , there was n good volume of
business transacted during the week , and
results In the main were satisfactory to all
concerned. Money ncctns to bo reasonably
easy In the- city nnd consumers arc able to
pay for what they buy.
Hank clearliiH by their heavy gains over
a year ngo merely bear out the statements
made by business men as to this very Balls-
factory volume of business doing.
WHOLESALE : FRUIT UUSIXESS.
Omaha , for Its Blzc , U a very good fruit
tnarket nnd large quantltlea of green 'fruits ,
amounting to a good manycarloads durlnt ?
the season , nro consumed at thl.'i point or
nro chipped out over tributary territoty to
the smaller towns. At the same time U tins
frequently .been observed that Omaha is not
un extravagant buyer. So long as the- price
remains reasonable the demand IM good , but
as soon us It goes up a few points con
sumers stop buying or 'turn their attention
to something els * . .For that reason the re
port that there have b n froa'.s In Call-
, loifela which have damaged the apricot crop
very materially , as well a the peach and
almond and some other small frultn Is a
matter of nn little IrA Wance to the wholc-
nalo fruit men of this city. A light nprlcot
crop will mean high priced anil that will
mean limited sales so far as thla city Is
concerned. It happens that the apricot Is the
llrst California fruit to arrive , in the early
Bummer and 'the handling of the crop Is a
matter of considerable Importance. It Is
poralblo also tint the cherry crop has bcn
injured to some extent. It Is too early for
Brapej lo bu hurt , but the continued dry
iwiuther on the coast In a cause 'for anxltty
almost aa ( great as the frost. So far as
peachoj are concerned , Colorado last season
supplied this market very largely nnd it
looks as If they would eventually take the
place of 'tho coast fruit entirely. The south
Is also shipping1 more peaches norlh every
year ' so that this market can get along very
woll'-wlthout California peaches.
AT SOUTH OMAHA.
Business nt South Omaha looked rather
small the past week In comparison with pre
vious weeks , both calllo and hogs Knowing
R falling off In Iho multer of receipts. Wllh
ehecp. however , Iho reverse was Irtic , as
there was a very largo train In the arrivals.
Cattle hnvo Bold all the week nt remuner
ative prices nnd sellers have been generally
well pleased wllh results' . The farmers
liavo netted good prices on Iho corn con-
' numed byIhe catllo fallened for market
by them and all parties appear to Uo pretty
iwell Batlsfled with results of th& * celt's
trading1. The demand for good beef cnttlo
' continues reasonably ncllvc , both local and
ehlpplng , and arrivals have met with ready
Bales on most days of the week under re-
. .view. '
The tlicep market hns been very cncour-
ucdng nnd everyone In nny way connected
-with the stock business Is taking great In
terest In the phenomenal growth of Iho
pheep market at South Omaha. It has been
a surprise to every one how rapidly the
demand for sheep has grown nt this point
until It seems that there are buyers for all
that nro likely to como In this direction.
It docs not appear to make much differ
ence , whether the receipts are large or
email , the arrivals of eachi day meet with
tha
prompt takers just the same. If Nebraska ;
continues to feed sheep as extensively us nil \ \
prospects would lead ono to expect It would
not bo at all' surprising If Omaha should
become the great sheep market of the coun
try nnd eventually eclipse all others.
In the hog department the trade the past
week was not quite so encouraging. The
war scare has apparently rnnilo speculators
.very weak buyers of provisions and though ;
there la n. good fresh meat demand It Is
not sulllclcnt to sustain values. The result
la that vuluss have had a downward ten
dency , though it lie- drop hns not been very
J large , as may bo learned from the market
, ( LreporlH. The absence of a bullish specula
tive Interest Is plainly felt nnd the war
Bcnre Is no doubt costing the hog growers
of Nebraska plenty of money. The whole
situation seemed to favor nn advance. In
fact values were gradually working lo ina
higher level nil lhroug.h January and up
to the 20lh of February when Ihe war clouds
* became threatening. Prom that date on
the tendency has been downward nnd what
is moro the market has been lacking In
that buoyancy which la always grateful to
the seller.
COSTS MORE MONEY TO BUILD.
IA local architect observes that Home people
appear to bo very much surprlse'd when they
find out that It will cost them , nil of 10 per
cent moro < lo put up buildings than last
year. As a mailer of fact most every ins
iwns ptedlcllng higher prices a year ago on
building material and most every well posted
properly owner ivould admit that the pros-
poct.s would seem to point In that direction.
Not only Is material higher , but some
kinds , such ) ns nrlck" . arc not overly plenti
ful at nny price. Hut thU Is not nil. 'ha
wise oinv . mho seem lo have- some InsMo !
track on forolelllng Iho fulure. say lhat
material -will be still higher another year.
The most urgent demand for residences
would seem to bo a tfreat Inducement tenet
ibulld this ) summer , bul no far Ihcro has not
.been . much done In that direction. However.
It ila still early nnd It Is not usual for
builders In this city to commence operations
until late In 'Iho summer or fall , FO that
a good deal may bo accomplished before
the close of Ihe season. The demand seems
to bo for n belter class of houses , of inhtch
the.ro nro very few In Iho city nnd none to
too had nt the present lime. Even Iho old
shells iwhlch wcro put up ) In boom Union , and
which nro hardly suitable for habitation ,
hnvo been filled until It Is almost Impos
sible to Becuro a house of any kind in the
city.

The wheat market at the opening today

Trade In oats was fairly nctlve , with

NEW YORK. March 16. The nulhorltnllve
slolcmcnl that the Maine board of Inquiry's re
port would be fully ns grave ns predicted brought
out a full attendance on the Stock exchnnsw to
day. TCicre wcro animated group * nbiut all the
stocks when the market oper. 1. The fcvcrlshnoss
and the fairy tale lliat Fpaln had deflated war
were circulated about the enhance nnd Knvo
momentum to the downhill movement. Fairly
large morglni were swept away iuU largo con
cessions onalues ensued on every considerable
offering. Sugar , Manhattan and Metropolitan
Street Hallway wcro hammered and slumped
about 2 points. Other stocks wcra sharply de
pressed. Gradually the market h.vdcueA on sup
port given by the grangers , nnd scaled buying of
the specialties. A quarter of an hour after the
rpenlnc the manifest Intention of largo Intercuts
to sustain the list ted traders to cover enormous
if.iort lines and prices bounded upward , the shorts
frantically bidding njinlnst each other. It secmi'd
likely that houses bavin * vast interests nt stake
had come to nn agreement over nlffht to buy. On
the bulge here London was a large seller. After
on hour'a trading prices were well above yoslcr.
day's close , lluslness Increased on thp advance
and ttinres were buoyant to the close , which Mao
generally Rt the best prices. The net Improve
ments approximate 2 points In the grangeis and
exceed 1 per cent In the leading international
favorites. The speclnltl * * gained from 1't ' to 4
points , with the maximum Improvement In Third
Avenue. Trading was on an enormous scale for n
S.iturday. ! the dealings for the short session ex
ceeding recent full day's total.
Ilia week Just ended witnessed a vigorous re
sumption of bear aggression , owing to the de-
vclopmcntB of various influential factors , which
wet > i utilized to their fullest extent by the ndvo-
calea of lower values. That th < > lr efforts \v ru
Blgtially successful can be best lllustrnli.it by n
resume of the final prices ot a week ago , the com
parison reflecting losses In the dividend-paying
stocks of from 2',4 to C points , nnd the specialties
mffcrlns to tfte extent of from 0 to 11. The lat
ter group was the objective point of attack , nnd
the extreme weakness ot these proprtlcs radiated
throughout the list , with the grnntttis ojid the
principal International stocks receiving marked
attention. The Cuban question continued the
overshadowing feature and the various phases ot
the situation ns Indicated by the , tenor of Wash
ington advices furnished the lever to alternately
advance nnd depress prices. This condition of
affairs was augmented by the outcropping of
numerous other considerations which also exerted
n marked bearing on the financial nnd commer
cial situation. The market throughout was highly
feverish and the ready response to the sllgiitret
efforts In favor ot cither account afforded som ?
nt the active Interests nn opportunity to make
frequent turns. The speculation at times bor-
dcixHt on the semi-panicky edge , owing to the
apparent approach ot a crisis In International af
fairs. The outpouring of lone stocks on thesf
occasions was striking evidence of the npathy of
Iho lending Interests , halting only In the clown-
ward plunge on the cessation of traders' ofterlnira
nnd a deposition to cover nt Inviting prices by
the shorts. The market then worked gradually
upward , but tine returnlnc level was Invariably
selected ns n nnw bnsls of operations by the
beam nnd the values speedily went to a pro
nounced lower plane. This process enlivened tbe
week's proceedings and was nccompinlej nt llmci
by wildly animated , dealings. The trading nt
other iwrfods was Intensely sluggish , but the con
traction In business was only discernible when
tha market essayed to rite. The foreigners were
regarded wlMi Interest and quotations from Ion-
don from day to day were eagerly scanned ns
evldenca of sentiment in the lending foreign
financial centers. The greit bulk.of the arbitrage
operations favored the arbitrage account , bat
evidence that speculators were disposed lo ac
cumulate holdings on various' lp\eli stimulated
Iho market. The unwieldy nature of the Bhort
Interest forced the leading active Interest * to
move prices up sharply occasionally In order to
shake oft nn undesirable following. The rank nnd
Ille of the street watched tht operator ? usually
employed by Washington Interests very shnrply ,
nnd were willing to twins from side to pidft as
they detected the source and nature of tranrao-
tlons. The leading commission houses were per
sistent sellers nnd the liquidation dampened bul
lish enthusiasm , which , genernlly speaking , wan
at a low eM > . The distress Hmoni ? the llght-
walsted bull ? , coupled with the marked exhaus
tion of lightly margined holdings nnd the frequent
calls for additional collateral by lenders , was fol
lowed by protective sales , which accelerated the
reaction. The bears tested the market frequently
anil where evidence of support "Was lacking a
stock was vigorously assailed.i.The grave ncpect
ot the European situation , whch , ! gave promise
of serious complication" ! , and the reluctance of
the substantial Interests to boMer'up the market
until matters assumed a mor cheerful aspect In
tensified the air ot depression which permeated
the Becurlty markets. News having a bearing on
financial n flairs was more plenllful ai Uie wcelt
advanced , but the preponderance of the develop
ment only served to nugm nt thn distress
ing matters. The frequent dissemination In the
street of Washington advices intlmallni ; that the
character nnd scope of the board ot Inqulry'n
statement on th' ' ' Maine disaster was only \ied
as a pretext to sway the market , the pilrlotib
in congress on Cuba and , tlio
carncst appeals for Intervention by the United
States , combined with the announcement that the
Spanish torpedo fleet hod left the Canary IslanrtR
bnrouto for Porto Rico , made theclimax of the
midweek's developments. TCiose considerations
wcro supplemented by the scml-ofllclnl statement
na to the Maine calamity , which afforded , the
bears an opportunity to maka a. demon
stration against tha market on Satur
day's opening. The subsequent dealings
showed firmness owing to the concentrated sup
port accorded the list by powerful Interests. The
unfvaorable factors enumerated outweighed
numerous healUiful Interests , consiet'ng of good
railroad statements , favorable money * outlook , en
couraging trndo ndvlees and the sold Influx ,
Which now aggregates $35 , 0,000.
The bond market suffered. In common wllh the
stock market , but the concessions were less pro
nounced and business was largely curtailed.
Government bonds alto exhibited extreme weak
ness , "with the losses exlendlng to 4 p-ilnls In tile
The Evening Post's London financial cablegram
says : The stock markets here remained heavy
and depressed today on the eve of settlement ,
when big differences are aealn to be met. Con-
soli were flat , as also all the speculative mar
kets. There was a thorp drop of 2 points In
Spanish 4s. The Cuban situation Is still regarded
more pessimistically than the conditions In any
other quarter. Politics today even affected the
money market , where the possibility that war be
tween the United States and Spain would or-
oeloratu gold movements to the United States Is
not lost sight of. Today 15.009 of American
gold was Fold by the Bank of England , nnd over
200000 from ttie Cape was bought up for
America. There was a severe drop on the street
on the unconfirmed report that war had beer de
clared by Spain. War rlsVs at Lloyd's are still
paid to bo rising , but I cannot learn , the actual
ouoiatlons.

All ilolil only tiilrty-nin * fresli loads cr cnt-
lle were In Ihe yards , hardly cnotiRh lo make
a real tcssl of iho market , certainly not
enough lo Inlcreit buyers to any great cx-
tcnt.
tcnt.Ucef
Ucef Steers Whllo a largo proportion ot
nil 'the rattle here , were beef slecrs , there
were so few In that It did not cut much fig
ure. The buyers , however , wanted Ihe catlle
and Ihey tok all offerings nt Just nbout
steady prices. The market , ns usual at the
close of the week , wiis without feature of
Interest or Importance.
Uutchers' Stock As a. buyer remarked. It
mas slim picking this morning. There were
very Jew loads of tows and heifers In Ihe
yards In addition to th ° few olds and end ? .
As was tlio case with fal calllo Ihe market
did not show any material change , values
being Just nbout steady on ull kinds.
Stock C.Ulle There i\ero no fresh slack
ers or feeders In Hie yards lo spsak of , and
the market was nominally steady. The de
mand for light stockers or anything on the
calf order holds up exceedingly well. The ,
country still wants that kind of catllo nnd
Is willing lo pay gcod-prices. Half fat cat
tle , on th ? olher hand , have not sold so well
for feeders. This is due , In part nt least ,
to the fact that a good many of the unfin
ished and half fat cattle that have been
coming In arc not very desirable for feeders.
