CONDITION OF OMAHA'S ' TRADE
Eotallera Eeport a Very Good Business
During the Last Week.
SALES JUST AS LARGE AS A YEAR AGO
Jobber * Fccllnir Very Well SntUUcd
ttlth Month of
July Value * on
.Mont I lnr Continue Klrin Trllh
General Unvrnrd Tendency.
Comparisons with a year ago show that
Iho rotallera of Omaha ars doing , on an
average , oa much business as in 1838. Homo
houses do not report quite such heavy sales ,
whdlo on the other hand a few houses' have
rondo substantial sains. It will bo remem
bered that a year afro retail merchants
were depending very largely upon the ox22
position. A great many people wcro at-
traded .to . the city In the hoi > o of tucurlng
employment , whll quite a good many sightJj
eocns came oven during July. All these
people hod to tw cared for and Iho retail
trade of the city was greatly Improved. In
view of this fact It seems quite remarkable
that tha volume of soles this season Is runI
nlng as largo as a year ago. Ilctallers ,
themselves who have gone to the trouble to '
inako comparisons are surprised at the
tflwwlng made.
Tn < o only explanation for the very palls-
factory character of the business doing In
rttall llnt-H Is to bo found In the undoubted
fact that business conditions all over tliu
country nro Improved. In fact , according
to all reports. It would be hardly possible
to overestimate the degree of prosi > crlty
which the whole couritry is onw enjoying.
Mo ono expects the rate of Increase that
has characterized the past faw months to
continue forever , but ut tlm present tlmo
the commercial eky Is cloudless and tticro
Is the uimoat conildenco In trade circles
that existing conditions will lust for some
tlmo.
Wages In most all departments have been
advanced and In many Instance a second
or third tlmo within leas than a year. The
deposits and loans of the banks , aa well as
the clearing IIOUEO reports and the activity
of all manufacturing plants , afford evidence
of a degrco of prosperity that has seldom
been surpassed , and in which there la BO
moderate un elementof / speculation that It
Is reasonable to expect Its continuance for
some tlmo to come.
During last week local jobbing houses
wera so busy that all hands were kept oc
cupied full hours and In omo Instances
men were said to have worked overtime.
The demand , 'according to all accounts , has
been particularly brisk from nearby coun
try trade , while from more distant points
orders are and liavo been coming In Quito
freely.
Cniincil Good * ' Situation.
Grocery jobbere continue to give out
favorable reports as to the volume of busl-
nea doing In their line. The peculiar con
ditions governing the canned goods situa
tion , have probably never before boon
duplicated. The extraordinary demand for
canned vegetables \\lu.ch has continued oven
into the summer months has almost ex
hausted the apot supplies of leading com
modities , while the early pack this season
was exceedingly short , and the outlook as
to what will bo the result of the later
l > acklng Is generally held to be very un
certain. The scarcity of now southern peas
and ilio hilgh price demanded for such stock
as Is obtainable has caused an active de
mand .for Now York and western peas ,
with the result 'that ' many of the packers
In 'those sections have already placed the
bulk of tiheir probable pack and nro un-
wiHlnc to make further contracts for for
ward delivery. Reports from the different
packing centers In Now York state Indicate
that the pack of peas will bo about one-
half or two-thirds of an average , and It la
a question by someiln the tnule whether the
packers will bo able to deliver all they have
contracted to supply. In the west the pack-
era have withdrawn and will not accept
orders until they can tell how the second
crop will turn out , the first crop having
been too short to enable them to 1111 the
contracts already in hand. The corn out
look in the cost 1ms considerably Improved
of late owing to recent liberal rainfall , but
It Is too early yet to form an Idea of the
probable pack. The tonm'lu crop prospects
have also Improved , but the outlook Is
entld to bo still uncertain.
Advances on. Iron.
Local hardware people talk in a most
encouraging way oftin conditions prevail
ing In their special department. The de
mand continues all right for this season
of the year , and no one seems to Ilnd fault
with the way the hardware business is
running. Advices from the omters of Iron
manufacturing eay that there are no signs
of any abatement in the activity of the
demand which started early In the year ,
_
and the market acordlngly on hardware. Is I /
linn. The mills generally report that they
are behind In their orders. Some Idea of
itho present condition of ithe market may
bo gained by golnjr bock to the first of the
year and noting the phenomenal advances
chat have been anace. Beclnnlng with
U&ssemer pig Iron , we find that early in
January It was aellns at $10.73 to $11.00
Plttsburg. The prlco now Is $20.00 Valley
furnace toi $20.76 1'lttsbunr , a clean advance
of $10.00 a 'ton , or about 100 per osnt. Early
In January perhaps half of the blast fur
naces In the Mahonlng and ShenatiRo val
leys , known ns the Central West district ,
were Idle , while today every stack Is active
that can bo put In blast and the product Is
much larger than ever before In the history
of these two iron-making regions. Besse
mer pig Iron at $20.00 at furnace means a
very handsome profit to the furnace owner.
When contracts , for the ore wcro made last
year , running throujrh Mils year , the ore
producers rccolved an advance of only 20
cents a ton over the .previous year's prices.
with a ton and a half of ore usd to each
ton of iron 'this means an advance of 30
onita a ton on the ore. Ooke Is probably
60 cents a ton 'higher , and a ton or lesa Is
used to each ton at Iron , so that Uie , addi
tional cost of ore and coke entering into a
ton of pig iron is not more than bO cents
over prices of last year. Labor has been
Increased materially , adding probably 20
os-nts a ton , whllo limestone is higher , but
it la safe to eay that the additional cost of
making pig iron over the cost of last year
is not more than $1.25 to $1.60 a. ton , and
wttih some furnaces It is probably less than
our lower figure. Bessemer pig Iron sold at
Valley furnace at $9.00 a ton , though to some
furnaces this probably ropresintcd a. loss.
It la earn to assume , however , that the
Valley furnace ithat can sell Its Iron at $20 :
B. ton da making not less than $ S,00 to $ S.M
a ton. It should bo remembered , however ,
that all the furnaces Imvo Iron Bold r.it
lower prices than are ruling today , BO that
ithe average nuy not bo higher than $15.00
or $10.00. This , however , may represent a
prollt of $4.00 to $ R.OO a ton , whloh , with u
furnace " making 250 tons a day means Jl.OW .
a" day or moro clear profit.
Tin plate , which Is completely under the
control of a tru t , sold leas than a year OBO ,
at $3.60 per box , and it Is now $1.7C per Ibex I
box 'higher. '
lrr Oooil. All IllKlit.
The dry goods trade is holding n very .
well through the normally dull period of
4h year , New developments of n purely
local character are few and far Between ,
OH business , especially at this season , par
takes very largely of the routine character.
The market on cotton goods continues firm
wltih fiuch changes as take place on the [ ;
Ide of a higher market. Tils wool market
Is very strong , which must have a corre-
apondlnff effect upon the manufactured
liroduct. There is a flrnt tone to the ellk
market owing to the strong position of the
raw silk market.

CHICAGO , July 22.-Wheat on the Board ,
of Trade lost about ImU < xf an early advance
of l'io on prediicUons of rtllcf from the , hot
weather In the northwest. September closed
He not hlglier at 701,470 c. Corn , oat and
provisions closed unchanged and provisions
very n-car yesterday.
Wheat opened strong on report * of ex
treme heat In itho northwest , a condition
injurious to spring wheat hi Its present
, slate. September began at an advance of
ic , with the bulk of trading at 70c. A fur-
I tiher , ] advance was scored Immediately to
71&c. A cool wave was sighted by the
weather prophet In the far northwest , but
unheeding that shorts rushed to cover. The
averaged maximum temiwrature reported
from South iDOkota and Minnesota was 100
degrees. There were also reports of dam
ages from rains in parts of the west and
southwest. The ecaboard reported a good
export business. Selling against calls and
olllclal predictions Uiat the cool wave would
move southward coon checked the rise.
Shorts recovered from their fright and re-
Bumed selling with such success that at
the end of the short session ? io had been
clipped off the September prlco. Receipts
at primary points wore JJI.IUS bu. , against
369,313 bu. last year. Duluth and tlnneapo-
11s reported 409 cars , as comparid with Gil
last week and forty-three a year ago. Looal
recoups were seventy-nine oars , flvo of
which were contract erade. September
closed at 70'i70c , a net gain ot % c.
Corn opened strong in sympathy with
. wheat , September US'lie up. Reports were
' uniformly favorable for crop prospects , but
the ! sympathetic ; Impulse carried September
ub to 32Ht32',4c There had been considera
ble realizing on the bulge , and when wheat
'befrau 'to ' decline corn followed. September
I closed weak at 31i31c. Receipts hero
were 5SC cars.
Oats ruled dull and easy. September
opened a shade under yesterday at 19Tfcc ,
sold off to 19V4@193io and closed at 19)&c
sellers. There was a fair cash demand. Rq-
SIo
ooltyta here were 163 cars.
Provisions opened strong wtlth hogs lOa
up. The weakness which later developed in
corn was communicated to provisions and
the ; early strength was dissipated. Septem

MOVEMENTS OF STOCKS AMI IIO.VUS.
Mnnlfentn Some Condiinctl lii-
torent In AIII < TCIIII SceiirltlcD.
NEW YORK , July 22-0'oday's stock
market was an unimportant , even an in
significant affair. London manifested some
continued ' Interest In American securities ,
marking up pricis rather above thft point
reached on this side even on the opening
rise. The opening advance here quickly
sucumfofd to the sympathetic influence of
a reaction In Sugar , which lost something
ovr a point. Heaviness In a few other In
dustrials < helped to hold back the market.
But : the bears were no more disposed 'to '
operate than the bulls and the market sus
pended ; near last night's level.
Thp bank , statement brought a realizing
movement i , which carried prices off In some
cases a point from the best , Rock Island
and a few other stocks which have beet )
going t up for several days being most af
fected. ; The offt-rlnps wro well absorbed
and the short session ended with quota
tions not 'far from last night's prices ,
The oppressive hftat prevailing had some
thing to do with the extreme lassitude of
< the trading. The American Linseed Oil
and , Iowa Central stocks showed peed ad
vances In prices and ' ( | IB Fort Worth &
Denver City first mortgage bonds rose 1 %
on the acquirement of trackage rights be
tween Denver and Pueblo from the AtcJil-
son by the Colorado & Southern , which
controls the Texas road. The bank state
ment showed 'the surplus reserve Increased
by reason of a contraction In loans , as was
exp < > cted , but the loss of ov,5r , $1,000,000 In
cash was a disappointment.
In view of the low prevailing rates for
money at Interior centers It was expected
that funds would 'have been attracted to
N w York during 'the week , but no such
movement Is rullected 1n the bank state i
ment. The continued high rate of sterling i
exchange caused some anxiety , as well as
bewllderm nt , In view of the lower discount
rates in London and the well-marked dis
position of London to buy stocks in New
York in the last few days. The sterllnc
rate han only yielded n fraction and still j
liovers within a cent of the gold export
point.
Net changes In prio's of stocks for the
week are mostly smnll and show both gains
and losses. There wore eorne sharp losses
In'the early part of thn week and the move
ment a ft IT that was Irregular. It wns the-
smallest week's business of the year. Even
dealings by professional operators had
dropped to a minimum. 1/ooklng back over
a per.od of a month it Is cosy to discern
that the be t Judges failed to porrictly esti
mate the world's needs for money and the
relnxe of large sums which was confi
dently expected after July has be n succes
sively delayed fiom day to day and from
week to week. .Large loans were repaid to
the Bank of England In the first days of
July , but befops the week was over the
market was again a borrower from the1
bank and has Ltien ever elncn nt rates up
to 4H per cent , as against the banks' olllclal
minimum of 3'/4 per cent. Only In the last
three days has there ben any remarked re
laxation In money stringency at the British
capital ,
It has been obvious as the situation developed - ,
veloped that London and the continent were
going to be more dei > endent on thr > United
States for relief than was contemplated and
the continued hardnetti of money hero has
aroused doubts as to the availability of
that relief. The situation is conclusive evi
dence of the continued strong Influence of
America In the money- markets of the world
The industrial activity In Germany , rs-
liocjully in Iron vnd steel , and the specula
tion on the Berlin bourse have kept money
high at IK'rlUi.
In Great Britain Itself there have been
expanding trade and interior demand for
money beyond w hat has been counted upon
and the call of u portion < rf the Japanexu
loan pinched the London market. In the
face of these conditions1 , when London saw
the money rate In New York holding high
and very vlow to yield th speculation in
securities came to n standstill , not only In
London , but on the continent and In New
York , The Urdlrveas with which the mom y
paid out in dividends and Interest on July
1 hta reappeared in New York bank de
posits , whllo It delayed relief , is evidence
of the widespread distribution of & > curltle9.
S voral largo financial transactions have
made demands on New York banks. Includ
ing the flotation of the tube combination ,
temporary loans to the New York City gov
ernment and the Mexican loan. The unex
ampled activity in all branches of business
and Industry makes use for the large fund
nt interior points , which would otherwise
find their way into New York banking de
posits , but which only a high rate for
money in New York now nerves to attract.
Nevertheless , high class bonds , railroad ,
state and municipal , continue at record fig
ures and capital la evidently abundant ns
never before.
The conservative element view with
equanimity the future to arouse a rampant
speculation In securities and holders , nro
apparently well eatlsflcd to hold at present
prices. The street railroad strikes' in the
Brooklyn and Manhattan boroughs of New
York aroused some anxiety as a possible
symptom of general unrest among wage-
earners. Thte has been an Important factor
in discouraging active operations In the
stock market , while so many favorable con
ditions seemed to presage that rise in
prices.
Dealings In bonds have been dull and
some Issues fell away In price , but others
moved upward on active demand. United
Statin registered 3s and fis advanced > fc and

NEW YORK , July 12. The Now York
Financier says thls week : The reduction
of $12,000.000 In the deposits of the New
York banks last week lightened the reserve
requirements about $3,000,000. The Institu
tions , according to their current statement ,
lost $1,619,100 cash and for this reason the
increase In surplus reserve was only $1,356-
SW , which brlnga present holdings up to
$12,055,000 $ above legal requirements.
The decrease In loans was nearly $3,000,000.
In tlvo last three weeks the banks have con
tracted outstanding loan obligations for no
less than $26,000,000. In Wio same time de
posits have been decreased nearly $26,600,000 ,
while the cash In bank hero remained sta
tionary. It will bo seen that reserves have
boon strengthened at the expense of out
standing commitments and the process docs
not appear to have reached ait end OB yet.
There is not a question , however , that the
banks are now gaining cash' even If the
statement docs Indicate otherwise. The op.
orations In money last week wcro decidedly
In favor of the institutions , the loss of
three-quarters of a million to the treasury
having been offset by the gain of something
llko $2,000,000 to the Interior. The current
exhibit docs not reflect this , but It is to bo
raid that the losses shown can bo traced to
two or thrco largo banks , the remaining
members having really strengthened their
positions.
As to the outlook , the opinion Is that there
4s nothing in the situation nt present to
warrant an undue expansion in bank loans.
The liquidation , which bcigan with July , has
run its course to a largo extent , and whllo
the present Is n mid-season period , the
movement of money will probably continue
this way for some llttlo time. Foreign ex
change authorities ngrco that gold exports ,
except as special transactions , nro at an
end , and while the crop season Is' ' near at
hand , it Is not anticipated that the demands
tlMs year will cause much of a drain from
Now York. Interior bank reserves are above
the average and this , coupled with easier
rates for money abroad and the certainty
that exchange will rule in favor of New
York , with the coming grain exports , seems
to favor a relaxation rather than a rise In
rates hero for the time belnp.

NEW YORK. July 22. DRY GOODS The
market is stlH quoted on a basis of 2c
for regulars. There are no changes in the
local staple cotton market. Both brown
and bleached goods for domestic use are
auiet.
The export trade continues actlvo nnd
results are satisfactory in all regards. In
coarse colored cot'tonsj.thcre is a continued ,
demand of good proportions. Prints ore
strong1 and are sold on 5c basis , with a
great deal of freedom. GIttghams and other
woven colored goods show results in no way
differing from 'thoso recently experienced ,

CATTLE All told less than twenty cars
of cattle were reported in the yards , nnd
half of them , or close to It , were Kansas
City cattle shipped direct to packers and
not offered for sale. In other words , there
were not enough cattle licre awaken any
interest among buyers and th market was
slow and dull and draggy from start to
finish. The general market was lOo lower.
There was quite a string of cornfed cows ,
but they , too , were low and draggy and
lower. In the fewest words possible , "It
was n Saturday's market , "
Good cornfed cattle sold at strong prices
all the week past and were in actlvo de
mand practically all the time. On the other
hand , grass steers or common cornfed
steers that vero not fat were lOillSc lower
for the week. Grass cows and heifers were
In much larger supply , and as a result the
markat broke nt least 30S'40c. Good dry lot
cows and h-elfers sold well the early part
of the week , but the big drop on gross
cattle pulled down the cornfcd stuff , but
the decline was not ns much as on grass
stuff. At the close of the week the feeling
on stocksrs and feeders was very weak. It
Is safe to say that that kind of cattle for
the week were 10@15c lower nnd the only
thing apparently , that prevented tha market
from breaking moro than that was the fact
of the receipts being so light. Representa
tive sales :

HOGS Yesterday's market was a little
higher , but today It took a big Jump , evea
if it waa the last day of the Week. The
market was all of 108/15c higher under the
Influence of the good local demand and the
favorable advices from other selling points.
Some of the largo packers wcro still on the
bear fide and refusing to buy freely at the
prevailing prices , but there were plenty of
others who seemed to want the hogs and
were ready to pay the prices.
The hogs Bold largely mt $4.32'frZM.S5 , as
against $1.2004.25 yesterday. One load of
good light hogs Bold up to $1.40 , which was
the tp , as against $1.30 yesterday.
The present week opened with the hog
market a shade higher on Monday , which
was followed on Tuesday by an advance of
fully 15c. On Wednesday the market put on
fully lOc , but on Thursday 7'/4c of the sain
was lost. On Friday the loss was more than
recovered , and the week closed at the
highest point touched so far. There were
only two or three days last year when
tJio hog market reached BH high a point as
was touched at the clone of the present
week and that was during the month of
May. The demand for hogs was good all
the week , though BO mo of the packers are I
evidently determined to hold the market
down as much as possible. Apparently ,
however , it is beyond their control and
when they become too bearish a shipping
demand springs up which equalizes thing * .
