* i j * THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SrKDAY , JUXE 18 , 1809. (7 ( * > i rCONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Too Many Rainy Days for the Good of tla Retailers. ; f VALUES GENERALLY FIRM ON ALL LINES .Inhlicr * , Without i\crptlon , Itoport mi.Active _ IltinlnrMH In 1'mctlunlly All IloiinrlniGiitH Iniiurnc- tiircrH Ilchlnil In Or < lcr , Weather conditions were not altogether . favorable for promoting a large retail trade during ilnst week. One or two rainy days J pt would-bo purchasers Indoors to a considerable extent , which always reduces the volume of sales. Still n very satis factory business hns been doing nnd lend ing houses report everything i > ? rtalnlng to trade as In a very healthy condition. Heavy advances In values , brought about In most cases 'by ' combinations nmong- the manu- * .facturers , nro beginning to bo felt by con- mitners. Should tha upward tendency In prices bo continued much longer a point IH certain to be reached when , consumers will materially curtail their wants. That a tendency In this direction has not been noted already Is manifestly duo to the very favoro-We business conditions prevailing In all parts of the country which have ma terially enlarged the purchasing power of consumers. The manufacturers located In Omaha np- pear to be doing a very satisfactory busi ness , -with ordsrs comlns In about as fast os they can be cared for with present ca pacity of iplnnts. It Is anticipated that the general prosperity enjoyed by Omaha manufacturers will have no little. Inlluence in bringing to this city otlur branches of manufacturing not yet represented. At South Omaha packing houses a very large business was done last week , receipts of lioth cattle and hoes belni ? l heral. About eo.OOO hogrs wer * disposed of during the week , the most of them being slaughtered by the local houses. Over fJOO.OOO , less llxed charRCH , were sent back Into the country for hosrom that point during the nix lays under review , nnd If the money paid ior cattle was Included , It would carry the total way above the million point. This etream of cash running Into the country from South Omaha must linvo a beneficial effect upon the gfneral country retail trade. Other circumstances have probably con tributed to the same end , nnd all advices from , the country are of a most hopeful character. Farmers , when not too busy In the lU-lds , are liberal purchasers of nil Bta'ple. ' merchandise. GrncprlfN Spll Frpply. Grocery Jobbers of Onraha unlto In pro nouncing business In their line satisfactory. Orders from the country are comingIn freely and the goods seem to bs going rapidly Into consumption. As regards the market , BUpars remain practically un changed at laflt week's quotations , but c.on- dltlons would seem favoratolo for another I I adVhnce In the near future. California canned fruits for fall delivery are attract ing considerable attention. As noted i < i week ago , there are rumors that nn asso ciation of "California " fruit pac-kers Is about to bo formed , nnd Indications would sem to 'point ' to the truth of this rumor. A fact that lends color to the report Is that the large packers have withdrawn from thn market. Whether nn association Is formed or not there Is no quetsoln but what con- eldJraWe higher prlcoa will prevail this sea- fion , as the crop of atopies , pears and cher ries 1s llRht. This , tojTOther with the In creased cost of tin can * , labor , nnd in fact everything entering into the cost of pro duction , must naturally advnnco prices on 4he fruit. In ngnrd to eaPtern canned poods , the new pack of pineapples , straw berries and string1 beans is quotably higher than a year ago. 'S < itol corn IE Betting to toe a very scarce article , and In consequence hlghJr prices ere .belntr asked. Baltimore packers report that the quality of green pens offered packers this season has been .tho poorest for yours , whllp the quantity lias be'n smaller and the prices demanded I exceptionally high. The loner-continued ' drouth In that section of the country ' ftunted the vines and encouraued Insect 1 jx > sts. Many of the factories have 1ie."Ti nbe ! to Bfciire only enough to keep them Koln < r on half time , while others who make ji specialty of line stock have packed llttlo or nothing , as the quality of the peas of- icrtA by the farmers of late has not been .suited to that grade of stock , Tt Is estl- imote'd ' that the output of early Junes will not exceed GO T > er cent on nn average pacj , nnd nresent Indications point to an equally email pack of marrowfats. In dried fruits ' no mate-rial change has taken place. Stocks in all llns arn getting to be pretty wfll cleaned n" . with the exception of prunes and raisins. ; , > , Otlior T/lnpN Acllvp. Jobbers at boots and shoes report busi ness In their line ns bflng in n verv healthy condition. As a matter of course this is not ' n. very busy time In this department , but j i Jocal jobbers are/ booking a peed many fall I orders , though comoaratlvcly little shipping Is being- done , as It Is too early to > end out goods for fall trad" . Values have been advancing- right along- , though It Is Jmrd1 .to say Just why. It wap popularly sup- ' .posed among mom.bers of the trade that ! I .the combination aimon'g ' leather men had ono to pieces , nnd oo" slniv it has. P"ck- , JOTS , sometime ago. forced the tanners into paying TrUer prires for hides , nnd that fact I ' atuiy have snmnthlng to do with keeping up values on shoes. RiiUScr men have been doing- very well nnd , if an abundant rainfall IH of nny as- p'stancc. ' thev certainly have bon greatly favored by the weather. Tncrtnoed building operations In Omaha ure contr'AjutlnK to the Improvement of the local lumber trade. Denlfri oh Tvo Mint It Is no rosy matter to secure stock from southern mil's. This Is especially true of hardwood lumber , timbers. plncr. ! ! err. The T I .mill men show a decided disposition to nd- .vanco prices and. nft r Bending out quota tions , they are liable to refuse to 1111 nn order that may be sent them , except nt a still further advance. Krnlt and I'roilucc. There was a marked shortage- nil last week In tha berry supply. The strawberry season , so far as the southern crop was concerned , came to an end and It wan not tl I the last of the week that a car of Hood Oliver , Oregon , berries arrived. Not enough raapberrlea were received to satisfy the d - mand. California fruits nre bccominir somewhat moro plentiful. Oranges nnd I vJ3on ! ? Advanced so rapidly that It was ' difficult to ni : orders at RatlHfaclory price ? , ! and at the same time the supply was so t mMI that U was equally dldleiilt to sccuro the sizes desired. Quite a good many south ern melons , both watermelons nnd canta loupes , wcro to be had on the market. Old potatoes nro now practically out of the way. while now potatoes are becoming moro plontlful nnd at the same tlmo n little cheaper. Kggs cased off a .Ittlo towards tlia ) nst of the week.

Strength of foreign markets and renewed Russian damag.1 re ports were the factors. Corn and oats fol lowed wheat , eats showing especial strength. Corn closed Uc higher and oats ' h'S'&c ' higher. Provisions showed no change nt the close. Opining prices In wheat showed the effect of a closing advance of * id at Liverpool , September starting nt 7S14t 7S5 c. compared with yesterday's close of 77c , and advanc ing Immediately to 7S4c. . The advance at Liverpool , following yesterday's decline her * , came as a surprise to traders and was taken to Indicate that the conservative English market was at last responding to the Russian crop damage news. Domestic crop news , however , was favorable at first and shortly after the opening a rallzlng movement set In which carried the price back to 7S'lc. Ideal weather for harvest ing operations was reported from the south west , while In th ? northwest the cool wave following the recent heavy rains quieted fears for the growing crop. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were liberal 69 ? cars , against 6SS last week and 93 .1 year ngo. Chicago receipts were 113 rars , ten of con tract quality. 'Primary ' western market re ceipts were 732,000 bushels , against omy 199- 000 bushels a year ago. Atlantic port clear ances were equal to 223OUO bushels. Export trrtde at New York was only moderaU , but 200,000 bushels were rcporlcd worked from ; hero. Shortly before 11 o'clock the market again look an upward turn and from that time on wns decidedly strong. Private ca- blts and .New York advices all confirmed the damage to Russian crops and also said that the drouth was spreading to districts j that heretofore have not been affected. Shorts uovered liberally. Outside .buying was heavy on unfavorable reports from harvesting operations in southern Illinois. St. Lou's bought froe.y during the last hour. Minneapolis nnd Duluth reported large Hour Rales. September advanced steadily to TSc nnd was bringing 7S"fcc at the close. Corn was quiet but llrm In the main and closed at Vic advance. Receipts at primary points were laree , 670 cars arriving nt Chicago cage , and weather conditions were consid ered perfect. The market , however , sym pathized with wheat. September ranged from 3Ii5J34 c to 35Uc and closed nt SoVsC. Oats was strong on heavy buying for both accounts. A large cash business was re > - ported , 530,000 bushels .being worked here for export. .Receipts were 216 cars. Sfp- tember ranged from 2Hfcc to 221422c and closed % > < s-\c higher at J2Ms'H22V9c.

The board room of the Stock exchange was almost deserted to day and ihero Hcemed to bo nn absolute lack of buying demand , so that even Insignificant offerings carried the level of prices down ward. The few professional traders present were disposed to sell stocks In an 'Iclpatlon ' of the unfavorable bank ( statement nnd on the general principle that prices will yield In a dull market. An Idea of the narrow ness of the market Is given by the fact that during the llrst hour there were Just two transactions recorded in St. Paul , which was the more notable because of Its good statement of grosa earnings ) for the second weak In June. The buying of the. Flower group , which has been persisted In for the last few days In face of the dullness In the rest of the market , was abandoned , nnd these stocks were allowed to drift down ward with the rest of the market. American Steel and Wire fell away rather sharply with the reports of a dispute among the director * ns to the payment of a dividend of the common stock. There were rather sharp losses by other new Industrials , which afterward partly re covered. The bad bank statement brought little selling and the traders covered bert contracts , causing a rally. Net ohamres nre unimportant In nearly all cares , as the evening up of contracts by traders braii'riU prlcm back to nbouttho starting point , bonds showed a declining tendency In sym pathy with stocks on a small volume of business. The general pub'.lc maintained an Indiffer ent mood toward happenings In Wall street during the week. Profefslonol traders Smve snown increasing iniiirrerenro to the market - i ket , ns their efforts to Invite ou'a'de ' ' par- tlclpation failed. La. . = t week'n rise con- ' tinned nnd culminated on Tiiffday , when a ' number of heavy operators closed out their long accounts nt a profit. After this rcallzj j Ing movement the trading was nmln'.v a , oontest between professionals us tn which ' way the current of prices should turn , ' There wns an obvious bull party In the i group of snerlaltlcH with which the wimt of the late Mr. Fiowsr la still Imlcntlfled Both ' Brooklyn Tran-it and Fedenl S' < > 1 have received n Inrro degree of attention from this pnrtv. The recovery In Sugar nns j strength In the coalnrs nnd In some iso lated Instances In tie ! railroad ll t gave some encouragement to the bull movement : but U had lo contend with the listlessnexs of the general public and with the maohl- nations of the nowerful bear purty In the street , ono of the largest individual opera tors maintaining his conviction that prices are too hlch. Some of the steel stocks hune heavily back nn reports of directors' dissensions over dividend queft'onc. thus lmnedln r the movement In Federal Bleel. Th" cHs1) ! on the wage question In Colorado. whlcs c'onen the or < * rnplters nnd a number of ml ea , and thus taken from the railroads nn Im portant Item of t'jclr revenue , weighed on the htoekn of all the rn-on rtes ! concerned and had forre sympathetic effect on the stocks of nelphborlne rallrnnds. the Bout'-- wefterns as a while being conspicuously weak.

RETIREMENTS IN THE NAVY Jurtsre Advocate Ilulen oil < hc Nnviil I'rrHoniirl " 111. WASHINGTON , Juno 17. Judge Advocate Lomlcy has rendered an opinion construing the meaning of the naval personnel act rel ative to voluntary retirements. The section in question , section B , authorizes the presi dent to retire officers of each grade , provid ing a certain Escclflcd number of vacancies do not occur annually In these grades through natural causes. The judge advocate general holds that the act requires that a sufficient number of officers and no more are to be placed on the retired list to cause the prescribed number of vacancies and ap plying this rule to the existing naval lists he finds that there will be no captains re tired , because there nro already fourteen vacancies above the grade of commander , while only thirteen are contemplated by law ; that two commanders will bo retired , there being1 eighteen vacancies now , two less than required ; that seven lieutenant commanders will bo retired , there being twenty-two va cancies and the law prescribing twenty-nine , and no lieutenants retired , the total number of vacancies , forty , in the higher grades meeting all the requirements of the law.

The most of those here were corn. * d steers which sold ut good strong prices. An ex port buyer from Liverpool was on the mar ket and picked up all the good cattle , payIng - Ing $4.Soij5.15. ( Considering that it was the last day of the week there was considerable Interest in the trade and tverythlns was sold and weighed up at an early hour. The few cows and heifers In the yards brought good steady prices and the same was true of bulls , calvea , etc. Receipts of cattle this week have been considerably larger than for the previous week , as will be noted from the tnbU of receipts at the head of the column. The result has been that buyers have had a better opportunity to discriminate as to the kind of cattle that they wanted , nnd on some days heavy cattle were neglected to some extent. The early part of th ? week washouts kept buck trains and added to the dullness of the market. On Wednesday heavy cattle were genua.ly lOc lower than the week before , and on Thursday and Friday they were slow , though not much difference was noted in the mattr ; of prices. At the end of the wick there was some llttlo improvement owing to u let up In tha receipts and a better demand , so that the week ended about where It started. Light cattle were Ihe best sellers all the week and did not show much chang ? in values. Butchers stock , such as good dryfed cows and heifers , were active sellers all the week , as the supply wiui light and the demand good. Anything with n show of grass was discriminated against , and there was a wide range In prices between drylot and grass stuff. Bulls , If fat , were good sellers regardless of weights. Veal calves brought the same prices all th : week , the best going at $7.00. Stock cattle sold strong the middle of the week , but at the close the f ellng was lower.

Buyers seemed to want the hogs , provided they could get them at $3.02Vj for good mlxc 1 loads , and sellers who were willing to take the price had no dllllcuity in unloading. The big bulk of the hogs sold early and it was by no means late when a clearance WHS effected. The average of all the sales was a llttlo higher , us there were fewer sales nt 13.CO. The receipts of hogs this week have been ' .arge , but at the sumo tlmo the market has been In fairly coed condition. The week started out with a decline of about 2c , but values advanced 7V4c on Tuesday and the market was n shade Btromer on Wednes day , which proxwl to bo the high point of the week. Thursday's market was u shade easier and Friday's market 'vas also , i very llttlo lower. The week rlosed with values just about 5e higher than they wcro on Monday and u sliudo higher han they were nt the close of the prevlom week. Rep resentative sales : 1 . ( KW . . . J 00 7 . 170 . . .
