THE OMAIIA DAILY RTTNDAV. 'N'OVFftnVBH . 181)8. ) 21 CONDITION OF OMAHA'S ' TRADE Local Retailers Got a Ghanco to Oatch Unir Breath. JOBBERS FIND BUSINESS BRISK Crorprn Have All Tlirj- Cnn ln nnd Dr > - floods Moil I'lnil Mnn > - \i-\v Xlimcn on Tlic-lr 1'rlccit I. u I n u : t'p. The closing of the exposition and the de parture of the great crowds of visitors that thronged the city Inst week has naturally had Its effect upon local busi ness conditions. Nothing has occurred , however , different from what was ex pected. Retailers who were driven early and late to wait upon crowds of buyers naturally nnd that there has been n largo falling off In the volume of sales as com pared with last week nnd the week before , but still they have had a fair local busi ness , nnd as a rule are entirely satlsllcd with the conditions. The holiday season In near at hand , and unless all signs prove false , the volume of that business will bo as large ns ever In the history of the city , If not the largest. Locally , the people aru In better financial condition than for sev eral year-s past and It is only natural to expect that they will have moro money to spend for holiday goads. Merchants , at least , are acting upon that theory , nnd are laying In largo stocks of merchandise of nil kinds likely to be wanted nt the tlmo of the holidays , o that it Is safe to Ray that Omaha will be n moro attractive place than ever bcforo In which to make holi day purchases , , Trade Still Active. The volume of business transacted by wholesalu grocers Is Htlll very largo , the majority ot them saying they have about nil the trade they can nttend to promptly. The market on most lines Is linn , with an upward tendency. Several lines of Califor nia dried fruits nre quoted higher than they were n week ugo , particularly apri cots , peaches nnd puars. Eastern evapo rated aoples nru also higher on account of the short crop. They are. at present 3c per pound higher than they were a year ago. An advance also took placu Inst week In nearly nil lines of canned goods. In fnrl- naceoiiH goods , oatmeal nnd beans , nro re ported nH being higher. Cheese la also on the upward grade , young Americas hav ing udvuni ed ijc and twins Vic. Jobbers of hardware report no Important changes In their HIV of business. The de mand continues to be good for nil lines of reasonable goods with every Indication for trade keeping up In good sliapc Indefinitely. The market Is llrm on nil lines nnd no Im portant fluctuations seem to be expected. Boot and shoo Jobbers have started men out on the road with spring goods. They pay they have a better assortment of goods this year than over before and consequently they expect to get moro business. Fall trade with them has ) been very satisfactory Indeed nnd they suy It has bsen the best season they have had In many a year. Or ders are still coming In for winter stock" . but they are mostly In the nature ot Olllng-ln orders. Xll ItllHll for ItlllllllTN. There was not qulto so urgent a demand for rubber goods last week on account ot the pleasant weather. Jobbers report , how ever , that It will take only n. couple of Btcrmy days to bring them back Into favor again. The lul ) cunio an n relief to many , as It gave them an opportunity to catch up and mak a new start. The general Impres sion seems to bo that tin unusually heavy demand for all kinds of rubber goodn will develop this year and Jobbers are making their prci arntions accordingly. There Is the same steady demand for dry goods that has characterized the trade all the fall. Not n many country merchants are calling on the trade now as a week og-o , consequently there Is some falling oft In the house trade , but this Is fully made uj.Jby the mall orders which are coming In with surprising regularity. Last month's accounts show that this year's business in running fur ahead of last season , both In amount and quality. Many names arc be ing carried on the books that were never there before , which Is considered one. of the most encouraging fcatur B of this year's trade. There are no changes of Importance In the schedule of prices so far as Is known. but thu general tone of the market Is llrm and the demand good. In the lumber situation there Is very llttlo change. Ths majority of the local Jobbers report trade as being rather quiet , with prnctlcnlly no Indentions of Us showing nny Improvement this fall. Country mer chants In most cases say trade with them IB a llttlo bolter than It was a few weeks ago , but still they are not doing a rushing business. About all Jobbers expect from now on will be scnttcrlng orders for Im mediate shipment. In most cases the. . vol- umn of business transacted last month was considerably less than that In September and also less than for October of last year. It should be Bald , however , that last year In October lumbermen were having the heaviest run of trade In their experience , so It Is not surprising that this year's ac counts do not show up quite ns favorably. yrho hldo market Is still weak and Is rather In nn unsiettlcU condition. No. 1 salted hides are now held nt Sc nnd No. 2 nt 7c. There Is nothing doing In either sheen pelts or wool , the market being prac tically at a standstill. Fruit nml I'roiluec. Trade with commission men last week was by no means as heavy as It has been for the last few months. The closing of the exposition has materially lesssned the population of the city , which means a de crease In consumption of all supplies handled by commission men. This , however - over , was oxpecUd and It Is Bafo to say the decrease Is not greater than was an ticipated. There was .very little- change last week In the range of prices. Now York grapes , however , uro still advancing as they become moro scarce. Two or three more carloads are reported cnroute , which will about wind up the season. New ork apples are arriving quite freely , but , they are a disappointment ns regards quality. It Is Bald , however , that they nro the beat to bo had this season. It can no longer bo doubted that apples are to go unusually high this year nnd It Is said the best grades are being bought up by speculators to bo put In cold storage awaiting the expected rise. Many people are of the opinion that fancy stock will bo as high ns $ j In the eastern markets nnd other grades corre- " There ns no change last week In the egg market , which Is still llrm at I.e. Butter Is also about the snme. separator bnlng held at 22c nnd gathered creamery at from JOc to 21c. Poultry , however , went still lower as the receipts continued heavy. Hens bring nbout 4'io and spring chickens B'.fcc. There Is very llttlo demand for live pigeons and It Is dilllcult to get COo per dozen for them Game Is quoted about the same as a wee * igo , with the demand fair. OMAHA 3IAIUCET.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL December Wheat Declines a Gent on Failnra of the Export Demand , NORTHWEST GRAIN MOVEMENT IS LARGE Com llmpondu to Influence of a Hoary Mnrkct nml Uccllncit Unit a. Cent Limited IlnyliiR In 1'rovUlonn. CHICAGO , Nov. B. Lower foreign mar kets today , the bearish Russian crop fig ures and a disappearance of the export de mand caused n sharp decline In wheat. December closed Ic lower. Corn nnd oats each lost 1-Sc. Pork lost 2ic ! , lard 2tQuc ! and ribs left oit a shndo lower. Wheat at the start WIIB still suffering from the very bearish Russian crop report sent out late yesterday nnd the announced determination of Franco to retire from Fashoda. Liverpool was quoted nt 3-Sd to Vid decline and London reported cargoes on passage 3f)3id ) ! lower , while on the other hand European securities showed a corresponding spending Improvement In tone. The very heavy Ehlpmcnts of wheat and for the week from Atlantic and Pacific ports were be lieved to have had some part In causing the weakness abroad and traders here wore In clined to go carefully In selling shorts while holders of puts were enabled by the openIng - , Ing decline to buy with confidence. Clear ! ances of wheat and flour from both coasts , this week were given as 6,774,000 bushels , i against 5 561,000 bushels the previous week and 6,630,000 the corresponding week a year ngo. Chicago receipts were 272 cnrs , com pared with 139 for the same day last year. The movement In the northwest was large , Minneapolis and Duluth reporting 1,374 car loads received , compared with 1,103 the pre vious year. New York wired that foreigners were moderate sellers of futures there and gome foreign selling orders were executed here also. Shipping houses reported a very poor demand from the seaboard or foreign sources , while a cablegram from Antwerp to a Chicago house said that Russian hold ers were reducing their prices and Argen tine prospects wore for a large crop of wheat. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour for the day were equal to 304,000 bushels. Nothing encouraging being forth coming to the bulls the news came very heavy and during the last hour prices reached the lowest point for the day. De cember opened U83-8c lower at 63 B-sgCo ic , Bold at C5ic , then declined to C3c , buyers , the closing figure. Weak cables nnd a heavy wheat market had a depressing effect on corn , notwith standing the steady adherence of a strong ulllsh contingent. The unfavorable turn 0 the weather awoke the hope among the ulls that receipts would drop off In con- equencc , but the arrivals of corn , 730 cars , vero considerably above the estimates. Some business was done for shipment , irokers reporting that corn was the only jraln they had any orders for. December egan 1-So lower at 314c , Improved to 31i@ 1 7-Sc , declined to 31 G-SQ'Sl'ftc ' nnd closed at ? ic. The official crop figures making the yield 02.000.000 bushels , against C03.000,000 bushels nst year , had a steadying Influence In oats. Receipts were moderate , 242 cars. May tarted l-8e down at 24 6-Sc. rose to 24ic , hen reacted to 245-Sc sellers , the closing Estimates of hogs for next week and the oc'llnlng tendency burdened provisions. Outsiders did n limited amount of buying , jut there were moro than enough offerings o go the rounds and prices suffered a trifle , anuary pork opened 2 c down at $ u.X ( > . ese to $ D.07H , declined to $9.02 and recov- red to $9.05 at the close.

Dlnrket Ilnll nnil SlUKKlMi out the Short SfH lon. NEW YORK , -Nov. G.-Tho market was dull and sluggish throughout the short ten sion , but with an undeniably llrm under tone , closing at best prices , with no dispo sition to take profits after the two days rlso such as might commonly be anticipate ! ' at the end of a week given over largely to professional trading , Th market. In fact , resisted nn attempt to reduce prices after the appearance of the bank statement , the attack centering on local securities. Third Avenue , Metro polltan Street railway. Consolidated Ga and People's Gas all showed the effects of the bear attempt , but the market generally continued upward to the close. No effect was produced by the action of the Spanlsl peace commissioners In refusing the Amer ican proposition for the disposition of the Philippines , The speculative mind was ul most prepared for a rupture of negotiu tlons. The reassurlmj words uttered las night by the British prlmo minister und tin semi-official statement from Purls server to clear up apprehension of foreign compll cation * . The various weekly trade reports were on the whole , encouraging as to the bus Iness outlook and there were strong state menta of railroad earnings from Oregon Short Line , Oregon Navigation , St. Louis & San Frnnclrco , Flint & Pero Marquette Louisville & Nashville and other roads. The demand for bonds continued very large and well distributed. There were heavy de- mends for Individual blocks of the Balti more & Ohio 3M > s when Issued , the AtchIson - Ison and Union Pacific 4s. The bank statement showed a rather un expectedly largo decrease In cash , but t' ± ? fact that credits have been extended $11- 612.GOO In the fuco of a decline of over { . " , . - 000,000 In cash reserves Is convincing evl- dcnco of the contldcnco felt in the money market outlook. Since Octobnr R loans have expanded $12,405,000 , while cash has In creased only J14.S49GOO. . As a consequence the surplus reserve * I.- * but (279,450 higher than It was n month ago. A largo proper tion of the loan expansion of course repre sents money loaned abroad. Thf > recovery In stocks during the latter part of the week Indicates that the selling early In the week i did not extend far outside professional lim its and for short account. A dull and waitIng - Ing 'market Is almost sure to Invlto this class of professional operations. There were various factors tending to un certainty In the sperulatlve mind In line earlier part of the week , outside of the small group of Industrial specialties , which underwent manipulation and the dealings In which made up the large proportion of the total transactions on the exchange. One of these factors was the proverbial disin clination of ftock operators to make fresh commitments on the eve of a general elec tion. Another was the threatening aspect of European political affairs. This factor was emphasized by the news of Wednesday r from China reporting the hostile prepara- tions of the Russian and British fleets and Indicating the possibility that Franco and Russia were In co-operation to press upon Great Britain a solution of sundry vexed problems of International relations whlcn would threaten an Immediate embroilment of nil thci powers. Apprehension on this score wns somewhat relieved by the late news that the Fashoda dllllculty had been solved by the withdrawal of Major Mnrchnnd. It also appeared that the sharp decline In consols on Wednesday was partly due to the process known as "borrowing from the market" by the Bank of England , which. In reality , consists of sales of con sols from the bank's reserve of government securities. The bank Is reporting to this device to keep the private discount rate up to Its own rate , with a view to shift the possible demand for gold upon continental centers. The money stringency In Berlin nnd London Is In fact a continued factor In the outlook for the world's llnunclal mar kets. Of domestic affairs there nro several fac tors Inciting to caution and conservatism , notwithstanding the unfavorable outlook. The unsatisfactory condition of the boot nnd shoe , leather , cotton nnd woolen trades are among these , though the week's btisl- ness in wool at Boston shows an encourag ing recovery. in the railroad world the continued de pression In thu anthracite trade keeps the coalers a drag on the market. They nro subjected to a fierce raid during the week , but scored substantial recoveries on cover ing by shorts. The soft coal roads also are apparently unable to rally from their de pression nnd continue to bo run In the In terest of coal operators and shippers rather than of the company's securities. It Is quite obvious also that the trunk lines , In splto of the enormous tonnage they arc moving , nro deriving small benefit on ac count of the cutting of rates. In this group Erie's September statement Issued during the week is an exnmple of the successful cutting of operation expenses to meet the reduced gross earnings. Something of dls- I appointment over Burlington's poor Sep. I tember showing was carried over from last i week , but wns partly offset by St. Paul's strong return for the same period , nnd for I the last week In October. Numerous other nvorable railroad- returns from the south nnd west nlded the late recovery In stocks. The furious activity In Tobacco , Sugar and Federal Steel was purely manipulative nnd the mere record of their prlco move- nent leaves nothing to tell regarding them , 10 far as the outside public Is allowed to enow. The railroad bond market has shown greater activity nnd strength , many Issues soiling at the high record prices. The reorganization - organization Issues , especially the 4 per cents , have been favorites. United States old 4s , coupon , nnd the Gs , coupon ex Int. have advanced U and the old s. registered. 1-S In the bid price. The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says : The stock markets here opened very strong today on Premier Salls- niry's speech at the Kitchener banquet last light , but closed under the best. The city jelleves that the llrst acute stage of the crisis has passed , but Is still prepared for alarms. Money rates were easier , but I invo reason to believe that the Bank of Jcrmany may raise the rate on Monday. If BO rates hero will stiffen again. Copper shares continue to boom.

IS'o.w York Dry Ciooiln NEW YORK , Nov. G. The week In 'dry goods has been a quieter one than opening conditions seemed to Indicate. There has been a llrm market throughout the cotton field district. In print cloths the market has been flrm but very quiet during the week. There have been sales of about 110,000 pieces , chiefly odd goods , and It Is not prob able that In the lines concerned In the poolIng - Ing proposition there has been movement enough to offset the production. Neverthe less the trustees feel that they have the situation well In hand nnd that buyers will be forced to purchase at existing quotations In the near future. Woolen goods of all de scriptions have remained tlrm In nearly every grade. There have been generally poor results , however , in men's lightweight fabric re-orders. Suirnr Mnrkrt.

In fact , a considerable proportion of what cattle were reported received were con signed direct to a packer , so that there was very little of any kind on sale. Chicago and Kansas City also hud the usual light re ceipts of a Saturday , BO that the large markets of the country were all In about the same boat. Values were nominally un changed. The receipts of cattle this week were fairly liberal , being somewhat larger than fcc the previous week , but with that ex ception they were the smallest for any week In over a month. Among the number received there were comparatively few killing ! cattle , the bulk being made up of western cattle on the stockcr and feeder order. The scarcity of fat cattle caused the market on cornfed steers to take on a llttlu moro strength and for the week it would be safe to call it a little higher , on the best kinds probably 10 < S 15c higher. At the same time graas beef cattle wereno higher , though the market for the week wan fully steady. , Cowa and heifers were In pretty good demand > mand on most days of the week , and , na the supply of killers was far from large , the market had a strong tendency , nnd for the wetk might bo called a little bit higher. Asf might bo expected under the. circum stances , feeding cows nnd heifer * were to some extent Influenced by the condition of the market on feeding Bteers. Owing to the largo receipts of feeding cattle und a moderate country demand the market during the greater part of the week was In n condition bordering on demoraliza tion. Real choice cattle , were at no tlma very plentiful , but there wna u world of common to medium cattle , which were very slow | on most days of the week. Yesterday the yards were pretty well cleared of stock- crs and feeders. The reports sent Into the country of the heavy break In prices brought In a good many country buyers , and before the scaliH closed at night the most of the cattle In the yards had changed hands. Everything In first hands was sold and speculators reduced their holdings very materially , BO that at the close of the week the yards are practically cleared. Good cattle sold the middle of the week 1620c lower than last week , nnd common cattle were worse than that. Speculators say that they sold medium to common cattle any where from 230400 lower than they did a week ngo. Even at the decline the cattle did not move out very rapidly , and It was not until Friday , when the country demand Improved at the same time , that there was a let-up In the receipts that anything like a cleanup was made.

The demand appeared to be quite active ami early arrivals changed hands readily at prevailing prices , * o that the bulk of offerings soon changed hands. For the most part packing hogs sold at J3.50 nnd prlmo heavy nt $3.62Vifl3.55. Medium weight nnd mixed Idads went at , $3.65 < g3.57'A and light nt J3.B7Hf53.CO.

It will be noted that the top today was higher , us the best price paid yester day was { 3.67V4. The top hogs today , however - over , were fancy light weights , every one of them being , in the language of thu yards a "peach. " The market gradually lost Its vim , and , as wns to bo expected , closed a llttlo j easier. Everything , however , was cold , and taking Into consideration the fa- i that t It was the last day of the week , tltb market wan In good shape. > The demand for hogs was good all this . week , but values touched the lowest point ! since January- The week opened with the i market a ahade higher , but It dropped bac ! ? ) ' ngaln on Tuesday , went still lower or , Wednesday nnd Thursday , thp latter being low 1 day for the week.
