CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE I Be:sonbl Mercrundisi of All Kindt Con tinnei to Hoit Freelj. SORTING-UP OFDIRS MORL IN tVDINC- I'rrr Important dinners oteil In Local 3tnrkrt Condi t Ions Collec tions Improving Jome CnlN fornla fruit on thr Mose. Considerable Improvement In local trade conditions Is noticed since a week ngo. Practically nil lines of seasonable goods appear to be moving more freely In the country as a result of the warmer weather and stocks arc being rapidly broken up. Sorting up orders are coming In much more freely than they did a wesk go and Jobbers now feel confident that they are going to have a nice reorder business. Collections are also Improving, which Is another good sign that trade In the. country Is moving along In satisfactory shape. In regard to advance fall business, there Is not much to be said, as Jobbers are all well pleased with what has been ac complished up to date, and as far as It Is possible to predict the future prospect could not well be Improved upon. The general market conditions are much tha same as they were a week ago. There Is still considerable tendency to weaken prices on hardware and dry goods, but most other lines am In a good, strong position. The grocery market is especially Ilrm. Coffee Market Excited. Interest In the grocery trade continues to center around the coffee and sucar markets. I.ast week the irrefitest excite ment was In coffee, green stock having been advanced from lc to 14c per pound and package coffee about 4c The demand at the higher quotations Is heavier than it was before the advance and still higher prices are being freely predicted, especially on the package cortec The sugar market Is also In a very strong position, though there has been no change in refined grades xlnco June 1. The raw market, however, has advanced since that time a little over l-lc, and as the demand continues to be exceptionally heavy, refineries are oversold from ten days to two weeks on all grades. The cheese market Is also higher than It was a week ago. owing to Increased con sumption, The advance on Wisconsin mar kets last week amounted to 4e. The higher price of wheat Is causing a corresponding advance in flour, which Is quoted loljJOc per barrel higher than It was a week ago. There la little If any change to report In the canned goods situation, with the excep tion of tomatoes, which are being quoted 24e6c per dozen higher on the naltlmore market than they were a week ago. Prices on salmon are still being held back, owing to the fact that the Columbia River Pack ers' association is In hopes that later de velopments will enable It to make more favorable prices than present conditions would allow. The catch is running ex ceedingly light this season, the total pock up to date being only 15 per cent of the esti mated pack for the whole season. Present Indications are that the opening prices will be 25f.tSc per dozen higher than thoy were at the beginning of the season of 1839 Hardware Market, I'naellled. There Is little news to report regarding the hardware situation, as conditions are much the same as they have been for the last few weeks. The tendency of prices Ia still downw.-rd rather than upward, but at tho same time the chunge is so 1 silent that Jobbers say there Is no quotable de cline. It Is simply a continuance of the leveling oft process that has been going on of late and probably will last for ome llttla time to come. , In regard to the condition of trade local Jobbers all agree that the volume of busl ness Is keeping up remarkably well, with prospects unusually bright for a good, ac tive demand throughout the summer. Re tailers out through the country are doing a nice business and as a result collections re Improving. Drr Goods Market Active. Local dry coods men report a big im rrovement In trade during the last week. Judging from the way sorting up orders havo been pouring In from all directions retailers' stocks must be getting pretty well demoralized, and If that la true Job. hers figure that they will have a busy lime for the next few- weeks. Laces es pecially are. selling well, but the demand is not limited to any one line, but seems to be for all kinds of seasonable goods, Kail business Is also In good shape. o tht local Jobbers have nothing to com rlaln of. Reports from eastern markets, however, are not quite so favorable. Trade, seams to be unusually quiet and, although sellers offer concesilons. still buyers appear Indifferent, so there is but little stock Boot and shoe men are not exactly rushed with business, but at the snme time they are getting quite a few sizing up orders. In some sections of the country trade Is perhaps a trine quiet, uu Kciirra.i prun ing retailers are telling a good many shoes. It looks now as though merchants would clean up their stocks In good shape and consequently local Jobbers are counting on cettlng fully their usual number of dupll--..1 ,.i-r. J.ill business Is also very satisfactory. Tho majority of retailers are Placing their orders, though there J . some "" heavily last fall to hold off this season .. ni.. a fe- merchants In that class, however, and they have but little effeet on the trade In general. Advance orders for rubber goods are also coming In freelv and present Indications r that "hi year will be fully as good as "Tha'Swi1' market Is "till very dull and n.mi.iinni are tirartlcallv the samo as they were a week ago, but local dealers say they would not be surprised to see another silent necune in um ucui uu.. Fruit and Produce. tvii nnrt nroduce men enjoyed a good trade again last week. The demand was especially good for berries and fresh vege tablet. It Is to be noticed this year that people are more willing to take hold of goods than they were a year ago. even though prices as a general thing are iiirh.r Ths receipts of berries fell off considerably lat week and from now on will be comparatively light The Missouri herrten are practically gone and the home grown and Iowa berries do not amount to murh. as they are small and not many of them The latter part oj the week some Oreron brr!e arrived t'-at were as fine as anything that has been eeen on this market In a long time. They were picked up in a hurry at 3.i per box. It Is Im possible to say how many will be received on this market but it is doubtful If they last very long. California peache and arrtcots came In lt week and they too proved good sellers. The peaches sold for $1.25 per box, or $IW per orate, and the apricots brought $.150. California lemons are aUo In big demand and prices are ad vancing Choice stock Is quoted at $3.50 and fancy at $3.7Mi4.CO. There Is nothing new to be said In re tard to vegetables except that quotations are gradually declining as the supply In treascj, ss the table given In another column will show The egg market is good and firm, choice stock selllnr at lfrfllOWc and seconds at 9c, The poultry market, however. Is con siderably lorer than It was a week ago owing to heavy receipts. Sprint chickens, however, are scarce and sell at lititOc alive or at (J dressed. The nutter market Is also a tri1e easier than It was a week ao. Common butter Is quoted at 13c and choice at tJIv. ,F.w Yoiuc r,sM:n.n. m iiiket. Qnntntlona for the l)ny on Commodities.

The signal service prediction of raln in the northweat caused a stampede of longs today, and when the session ended July was &,c under yester day. The other markets were Influenced by the break, corn closing Hil4c. oats Nc and provisions 5fll24c lower. The wheat pit was crowded again today, but the market was weak. Tne opcr.l.ig was erratic, July at 724e to 714c. com pared with last night's close at 72VjT2lc. A few minutes later July was quoteJ at "148724c The slump was due to the v.eather bureau prediction of rains In the northwest, combined with 11 report from Minneapolis that rain had begun falling there. These Itfms eaurht the market at the opening and the value of wheat gave n lightning' change exhibition In declining. It looked as If everybody had wheat for sale at this period, but there were a few heavy longs who still held out. Their atti tude, coupled with profit taking by shortj who sold last night, caused a rally to 7i4'. but this was lost, July slumping to 714c Again there was support, possibly en couraged by tho crop reports from the northwest, which were as unfavorable as ever, and July once more touched 714c. Again the pressure of long stuff made Itself felt and this time July dropped to 71c, closing soon after In a weakened con dition, 4c under yesterday at 71ft714c Clearances at the seaboard were equal in wheat and flour to l.l'O.w) bu. Primary receipts were C14.000 bu., compared with S55,o bu. last year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 460 cars, ns against 453 1 last week and 6S3 a year ago. Local re- ceipts were 49 cars, one or contract graae. 1 The corn market opened weak, In sym- ' pathy with wheat. The weakness continued throughout the day and with favorable crop reports nnd liberal offerings contributory Influences July opened at 43c to M4c, and showed no strength thereafter, closing at 1 the bottom lftl4c down at 33c. Trade early I was moderately active, but later the pit . was quiet. Receipts here were 393 cars. The experience in oats was In miniature similar to that In the other grain markets, j There was a rush to sell early, but very 1 little demand until a. liberal concession In price had been made. Receipts here were . :-25 cars. July sold between 224c and C closing -4c down at 22i.c. The grain weakness, liberal offerings and a general dullness, caused easiness tn pro- visions. The reduction was in spite or an advance of 6d In ham and bacon and 3d In lard at Llvernool and a steady market 1 at the yards. July pork sold between $ll.la and 11.724 and closed 124c under yes terday at $11.7o. July lard between $6 974 and KSS66.S74, closing 10c down at $6.S74. nnd July ribs between $.S7406 and $6.S24tjfi.S5, with tho close Sc reduced at $6.S5.

Mon'l, prop irom tne margei ana tne taicing on 01 long lines on the advance brought pressure to take profits In Its train. The Berlin bourie has been In a condition of panic through the for ed mle of iron shares to pay off loan obligations. Amerl- can securities havo therefore received no support In foreign market and tha selling for foreign account In New York. ttough rr.ali, has teen an effective element of re- presslon. The demoralization In foreign Iron markets has been due to the course of Iron prices In this country, which promise effective competition for foreign Iron manu- faeturers In their own markets. The Importance as a basis of prosperity of good crops is brought sharply Into promt- nence by the critical conditions, existing In the apring wheat belt. The plating of Atchison preferred on a 5 per cent dividend basis and the malnte- tane of the Quarterly dividend on Sugar at ' the 14 per cent rate only temporarily strengthened those storks.

Following the cnll the July and August options absorbed the bulk of atten- tlon and exhibited singular strength. The former reached $? 70 within the flrnt half hour, this being 21 points above last night's closing. Rumors were soon In circulation to the effect that tiromlnent Boston and Phil- adrlphla concerns long on that option had determined to unload their holdingx upon belated shorts after prices had bn forced to a much higher level. Ausust shorts Im- mediately took fright, fearing a possible ex- , tension of the bull mvcmnt to that de- llverv. and In an effort ti reach safer ground forved prices up rapidly.

About all that cun be said I Of the market it. to quote It as nominally 1 stenaj 1 The cattle market this week has been favorable for the alltrs In that there has ! been a very considerable falling off In re- 1 ceipts at all r-arket points and n conse- quent firming ip In values. The market ' finpnf tlrmln,- in 1 " o 1' ' . . . . . w-as not particularly higher on any one d"3"- but It gradtmlly gained In strength and at the close of the week good kinds of cattle are fully 10c. and In some cases 1 15c higher than the low time last week. . In other words, at the close of the week me marxei is just as iiigu as it nas oecn any time during the last three or four weeks Some sellers are cautioning ship- pers against holding back common kinds of cornfed cattle tco long, as the season when grass cattle may be expected Is near at hand nnd common rattle alwavs suffer In I competition with grassers. Cows and heifer have ben good prop- I erty nil the week, and the market mot favorable for the sellers. Good kinds of dry lot cattle hate bern In epeclal d'mard and have commanded strong price, ijuiis hive also sold well. There has been verv little doing In the' way of stockers and feeders. Roth supply nr1 ripmnnri have been lleht. nnd In con- sequence the trade In that kind of cattle has attracted very 1111!" attention. Repre sentative sales: BEEF STEERS. No 1J.. A. Pr .

HOGS Under the influence of good, ud eral receipts for a Saturday today s no; market was a shade lower than yesterday s general market. There was a good, active a.-mand on the part of local packers, but nt ih some lime thev were willing to Py only $5.00 for the bulk of the receipts and It took choice hogs to bring more than that price It was practically a $a.CO market, witn tne cnoue nuv noga "iu i $5,024 to $5(6. The fait that It was Satur day made sellers carelul about holding on. so everything changed hands at an early hour, the market closing a little stronger. Ah has been the case for some time past, light weights were not In very good demand nnd packers were Indifferent buyers of that class ot nogs The receipts of hogs the past week show-ea consiaeraDie lauu g on jam pared with the previous week but at th me time there wa fully a good a de mand as tnere nas Deen ai any lime ann as a result the tendency of prices was up- un .weanesuay. i nuro iiu " rr.nrket continued to advance, lie more being added to the average price.
