THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, AUGUST 2C, 1900. CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Eu:incs3 in General is Better Than it Was a Week Ago. NOT MANY IMPORTANT MARKET CUANGES Enntrrn Trtide Onlcm Arc IlrglnnhiR to 'I'nlic on Morn Life nml Prediction Arc for flood ' I'lill lluslut'ss. Tho business outlook In thin section of the country still remains promising. Tho encouraging feature Is tho good con dition of tho corn crop, which la now practically nn nssurcd success, as It would tako something of unusual severity to do serious damage. Local Jobbers who havo been seen say that business Is rupldly In creasing and as a general thing Is heavier In volume than It was a year ago at this time. Tho timidity noticed a few weeks ngo about buying fall goods Is now a thing of tho past and merchants realize that If they aro to continue In buslnet they must get In their fall goods before much longer, and for that reason aro sending In liberal orders. Traveling men who cover tho territory from hero to tho Pacific coast all say that they never saw a time when retailers In ifnrtrjil tvnrn In rm rnnd condition nB they nro at tho present time, and the beat of it Is they realize It and nro full of con fidence for tho future. The fact that n presidential campaign la at hand has so far had no upproclablo effect on business In tho country tributary to this market, ns tho Kood corn crop overshadow tho disturb ing Influences of politics. Tho markets, ns a general thing, nro In good, healthy condition, nml Jobbers gen- xrnllv urn not ll tl 1 If I nil 1 1 II IT nilV dlfllCUlty mvltip in nnnr mnrk(t. There havo been but few Important changes during tho week, most lines remaining ubout sin tlonarv. Coffee Mnrket AVcnli. Tho most startling featuro to the grocery market was tho drop In tho price of coffee, wnicn orrects nom greens ana pacnago coi fee. Tho decline amounts to V4o all around Tho ccncral Imurcsslon ntnong local deal' era Is that this dron la only temporary nnd that within a short tlmo tho market wl nirn n start on Its upward journey. Tho visible supply Is now fur short of what it was a year ugo ami tno consumption Is on tho Increase. Tho hot weather of th last few weeks, however, ban undoubt edly hud a tendency to curtail tho Im mediate demand to a considerable extent and that Is one of tho reasons given for th recent decline. Tho sugar market Is practically tho samo ns It was a week ago, though stock Is being held at very firm prices. Con sumption la exceptionally heavy for tho month of August uud Jobbers arc looking for an enormous demand during aepiem bar. Tho market on California dried frilltH Is In a very strong position. l'artlcularly Is this truo of evaporated peaches and nprlcots, uh It Is reported that the supply will not bo as largo as anticipated. Tho advnnco slneo last report amounts to from Ho to "sc. Hoth sago nnd tnploca aro higher than they wero u, week ngo, quotations showing nn ndvnnco of fl'4c Tho cheeso market Is still going up, partly owing to the big homo consumption und partly owing to tho fact that tho export trado Is excep tionally heavy. Tho drouths In several cheese producing .sections of tho state havo nlso tended to cut down production, nil of which conditions havo worked to advunco prices. Tho only other chnngo of enough Im portance to mention Is tho decline In rolled onts, amounting to 10c per barrel. In speaking of tho condition of trndo Jobbers Bay that tho demand on all lines Is bolter thnn they over saw It before In tho month of August, nnd that they nro preparing for tho biggest run of fall and winter trudo over experienced. Hardware Market Hfcndr. Tr.ido with hardwara Jobbers Is moving long at a good, rapid rate. Kail goods ro now being shipped out, though tho process of lining advance orders Is not being ptmhed ns rapidly as It will bo in a few weeks. Tho majority of dealers do not want their stores filled with stoves this early in tho season, but still a. few nro being shipped farther west. Tho amount of fall business that lias been landed up to dato Is unusually largo and compares very favorably with thoTccord of any year no to this tlmn. Tho market, ns u general thing. Is Just kuuui wncra n was a weeK ago. Jloro confldenco Is being felt In tho futuro of tho Iron market than wns tho caso a few Weeks nco and In rnntnm mn.lrnt. .s,.,- slderablo business Is being reported. Thosa who are In a position to know Bay that whllo somo lines will undoubtedly go still lower qthora havo reached the bottom nnd may go In tho other direction within n Bnov .l.lm.e- A" predictions aro for u pood, lively trado and a healthy market, in spite of tho slack demand for tho last few months In eastorn markets It la claimed that consumntlnn nrniimi n ....... ,. beon large, tho tendency being to reduco r ,cikr .thr. vcry iaw(;t. "ru. if that Is the caso It Is argued that when buying does commenco It will be liberal and ii good, brisk market will bo experienced. Silk Market MVnk. About tho only Important change In tlx dry coods trndn In 11... .1, dltlon of tho silk market. Both buyers and sellers are In rnthcr an unacttle.l condition f.T.Mr'i0 "tnk.."0w whllt to expect for tho future. Sellers are anxious to dlaposo or their stocks and nro offering to sell at reduced figures, but buyers nro not com ing forward In great numbers. In COttOn COOiIm thn lilhinHnn l 1. the same ns It was a week ago. Klthr buyers nor scllcrtt nro nnxlous to do biul liess nnd both seem to prefer tu await further developments. The number of orders coming In at eastern markets, how ever, for general lines la more liberal thm WIIH thn ..nur. n .... ...... dlcntloiis nro that within a short time tho demand will bo fully up to expectation!. So far ns thn lnr.il nlliinilnn I Jobbers have no complaint to olTer Orders tiro coming In with overy mall nnd tho num ber of buyers on tho market la r.ipldly In creasing. Ah a rule thuv nrn nlnnlnu- iiimr.-ii orders and without exception nro counting uh uu.iit, u ihlu iuii luisiiiess. I'rlecs Arc SutUrm-tory. Root nnd slioo Jobbers uro receiving fully their shnro of business and nro well please 1 witn tno course- trade la taking. Traveling mon are meeting with good succss on the road and aro sending In somo nleo nrderi. jnvnnco sninmcnts nro liclng mads now ns rapidly as the goods enn bo nut In shnn?. Rubber goods Jobbers aro also satUlled with tho way orders urn comlnc m 1.1 speaking of tho situation n local jobber rum iinii rviui'iiiiy mo prires at wnicii rubber clothing Is being offered on this mar. ket nro In lino with thn nrim llatu Ihmmoi nt other points. As a proof of that fact ho stated that his house had taken somo conditional orders from Oregon merchmts nnd after placing them one nt tho number inado a trip to Chicago to Investigate tho situation at that' point. Ho spent about n week among tho Jobbers of that city nnd came back and had th order filled with the UlllUIItl HOUNC. Fruit nnd Produce. The demand for fresh fruits and vegeta bles is still In gopd shape. Tho hot weather is making lemons movo particularly well and since last report iho prlco has been advan 'ed 51c on both tho fancy nnd choice grades. Cantaloupes uro now more plentiful on the market and the quality Is also Improving, whllo tho prlco Is going down. Home-grown Concord crapes . .now mum uuiiiiuiuii turn aro quoted a ::f23c. California fruit is quoted abou the samo us It was a week niro. Thero Is r.o chnngo In the vegetable lino that Is worthy of mention. The quotations urn about tho samo and the samo lines tire pemg oneren on ino mantel. Tho egg market Is very tlrm nt l3o and th supply Is only fhlr. whllo thn rieman.l I good, Poultry Is quoted tho samo as It wai n week ago, but is being held tlrm at tha prices given, inn same is iruo ot nutter, OMAHA WIIOI.USALU MARKETS.
