CONDITION OFOMAIIA'STRADE Unfarorabls Weather Delayed the Anita of Many Euyort. PRICES FIRM WITH TENDENCY UPWARD Only Coin n I n I lit llcnril from Jobbers Arc ItrKiirilliiK Illlllculty Ileitis I'.x- Ilcrlclll-Cll III (ii-tllnu tiOlldn from the .Miiiitilucltircrft. Tho rather .unfavorable weather of Inst Tviek, particularly Iti the west, Imil a tend ency'to cut down the volume of business dono by local house. Hut In spite of that fact there were a good many buyers on tho market for thin tlmo of year, and It Is muted that the number I kfuplng up bet ter than over before. It Is also noticeable that tho orders being pheed uro very lib eral, It will not be long, though, before spring orders will all bo placed, when sort-lug-up ordcrx wilt be the principal feature In nprlns lines. Preparations are being pushed by all Job bers for starting out their men with fall Goods, A number of them have already started for thu far west and shortly after tho Ilrat of tho month tho great propor tion of them will bo pounding the retail trade for fall orders. It seeitiH to be tho general Impression that salesmen will meet with better success In landing advance orders thun ever before. Tho placing of orders for fall alid winter runbers has rather got retailers started In that direc tion nnd then, too, there Is more than tho usual amount of contldenco In futuru business. All things considered there does not seem to bo much excusu this year for retailers holding back their orders ami for that reason Jobbers arc anxious to get un curly start. The markets, ns a whole, nro In tho saino strong position they huve been all along nnd a number or advances huvo taken place sIiilo last report. Thu tendency to ward higher prices Is perhaps more notice able In hardwaiu than In most other lines, but there Is, nevertheless, a good linn tool ing In practically all departments. Suitor MiowIiik StreiiKtli. Tho sugur nmrket Is still very strong and all Indications uro toward higher price In tho near future, but no changes In limita tions have taken place slneo last report. An advance at any time, however, would cuuhu no surprise. Coffee Is alio In thu amo position It was a week ago, no change having taken plnco on either tho green or roasted stock. Receipts uro reported as being very heavy, which acts as a bear In fluence on thu market and prevents higher prices from ruling. Tho cheese market Is still advancing nnd prices aro now ',4c higher thu,n they were a week ago. In larluaceous goods tliero Is but one lluctuatlou of Importance and that Is thu advance on navy beans, amounting to lOo per bushel. Tho recent excitement In corn has given a very llrm tone to tho mar ket on syrups and higher prices aru looked for at most any time. There Is nothing new In canned goods, nor In dried fruits, thu market on bjth lines holding Its own In good shape. Tim uemand 1h of very fair proportions lor this season of tho year. HIiortiiKK In lltiriliviire rreilletccl, - Local hardwaro Jobbers aro receiving moro orders for goods than they can 1111 with promptness. Fur some tlmo puat they huvo been expecting clock to arrlvo from tho miiuufuclurcis, hut they aro still look lug for thu cars, and In thu meantime tho orders aro piling in from thu country nnd aro not being illicit.- Thuro is no telling when tho goods will urrlve, as all thu satis faction that manufacturers give is that they aro' doing their best. Tho demand .Xrom all over tlio country seems to bo ex ceptionally heavy and beyond tho capacity of thu factories to turn out. If they are be hind with their orders now tho question naturally arlsoH as to what they will bo u llttlo later, when spring trado Is fairly under way. Homo of tho manufacturers have practically withdrawn from tho mar ket, as they aro only accepting orders sub ject to shipment at tur July 1.- Tho situation then is certainly Interesting to both Job bers and rctallurs who have not aa much stock on hand as they desire. Under conditions Ilka thu present tho mar ket, of course, is In a good strong position mid those who ought to bo posted say thuro Is no elm n co of a lower level of prices this year, As to whether or not values will ad vance materially thcro Is a slight differ ence of opinion, but thuy all seem to agreo that it looks now us though It would bu u question ot getting tho goods and not ono of price. Vol II lor of Ilimliu-n I'll I r. Dry goods Jobbers did a very nlco busi ness last week, taking everything Into con sideration. A good many buyers who worn expected were delayed by storms, which, of course, cut down tho volume of business for tho week. No complaints were heard, liowover, as thcro wero moro merehantti on tho market than could bo reasonably ex pected under thu circumstances. Jobbers aru now preparing for fall busi ness and men aro already out with samples of lull underwear. They hope to tuko nd vuntago of the conllduucu felt in future business to land a nice bunch of advance orders early In tho season. Representa tives of local houses who huvo recently re turned from thu east, where they have been buying tall lines, nay that mauutacturers aro greatly lncournged over tho prospects for tall und tliul they aro holding their lines at good linn prices. Omaha houses huvo been liberal buyers and nie preparing to handle butter lines In dress goods and in tuct In all Hues than ever before. Tho aue cess they havu hud this season with thu heaviest and best buyers In the west has encouraged tliem greatly and given thorn coulldeucii to go ahead and prepare to haudlo tho trade of any merchant tributary ,to this market. Rubber Order Mostly l'lucc-d. Last week saw practically tho Mulsh of tho udvuucu orders lor full. Merchants who huvo not bought up to this tlmo probably will not plaeo their orders until they ac tually need thu goods or olso aru convinced that higher prices will rulo. Kveryono is now wailing to seu what will tnko place on April 1. Thu snows and rains that huvo been ex perienced during thu last few weeks huvo made tho demand for spring rubbers ex ceptionally heavy. Orders huvo been com ing In at a rapid rato from all over thu west und they want thu goods in a rush, As a result Jobbers have been doing some lively hustling. If tho remainder of thu spring season is ns favorablo for thu rubber goods trado as It has been up to this tlmo thuro Is no doubt but what lust year's record will bo vastly broken. Thoru Is nothing particularly now In tho situation with tioot and shoo Jobbers. Slz-Ing-up orders aro coming in talrly good, but thu attention of wholesalers Is now turned toward getting fall samples In shape. A few men havu started for the far west and in a short time others will follow. Thuro is to bu no particular change In styles from last year, either In sliupo or In color, lllncku will be worn by thu great majority of people, although ox-bloods and tans will oomo in Ior sotno patronage. l'uumels aro constantly growing In popularity and to such an extcn Is that tho case that local houses aro carrying a larger lino thnu ever before. In women's shoes patent kids aro quite popular. Thoru will probably not bo n variation in jirlco of moro than 'Ma or Co per pair from lust year and that will bo in thu direction of higher prices Tho greatest advaneo will bo on tho cheap Bhoes, owing to thu higher price of leather. ( l'nlntii, Olla mill ;iu. Tho talk ot higher prices on glass Is to no realized tho llrst of the mouth, so It Is claimed, to tho extent or 10 per cent. Deal ers havo been generally Informed of this ad. vanco and as a risult they havo good stocks on hand. Linseed oil has taken another drop, which leaves tho limitations at OOo and tile. Lower prices than those uro not looked for. Tur pentlno has also gone off a trllle ami prices are now -l-Y. Taints and whltu lead remain tho giuna aa thoy havu been for some tlmo past, l-'rniln mill Produce. There has been a good trade nil tho week In fruits nnd vegetables, but so far as market chunges aro concerned It has been a very quiet week. Fresh vegetables are urrlvlng moro freely and tho quotations at which th6y ore selling will bo found be low. Texas strawberries uru among the lutest in rivals and for this time of year aro said to bo In very good condition. J'oultry, butter and eggs are all about the same ns thuy wero a week no, though prices nro linn at thu quotations, Receipts havo not been exeesslvu und as tho demand has been of very fair proportions prices havo held up In good shape. Dressed poul try Is no longer wanted, ns tho weather tho Kreater part of the tlmo Is too warm to muku dressed stock nppeur lit good condi tion. Kiiiimi City (iridic nnd Provlnlon.

CHICAGO, March ."O.-Carrled upward by tho lnilllaliness of utmost the entire west thu com market today continued on Its rccord-brenklng curccr. The volume of business was larger than any previous dny this week. May closed g-lic over yester day. Oats wero also conspicuously active, May closing with n net ndvanco of Wheat ruled dull and nt tho close was ,,c lower. Provisions advanced 12',41r20c. Corn for May delivery became nctlvo nt tho tup of tho opening gong. Within half an hour It had assumed vast proportions. Half tho wheat pit had deserted to It and many traders weru crowded out of bounds nt times, (leorgo H. Phillips, who stands for thu country bullishness In many minds, and If ho has not ulrondy control of the mnrket Is tit leiiRt u potent factor In It, took prollts on a scale nppronchlng his operations of yesterday, yet so excited was tho trado that ho was not moro eonsnle tious than many others. In fact It looked m If the market was beyond tho control of this spirited young bull or beyond the con trol of any combination. In the race of tils realizing sales and that or cprtaln Conser vative longs the market swept upward lr reslstably. Thu usual reports that Phillips find his crowd wero selling to their own brokers and still adding to their nlready big lines wero heard on tho Moor. Muy opened mi'Hc higher at 4lyfill,,ic nml vaTly touched 4tc on selling, said to hnve been for I'rilllltW. Th.i lilivll. rnn nu ..n iw.t. .tt...t nnd it struck this slight dip In mil force. May c-uiii was iioiigut ami soni in sttcn quanti ties nnd with such rapidity by the whole pit that Individual trades weru lost to view. Thu mnrket hounded to Ur In tho next half hour, thereby again breaking the price record for tho season's tradu In May op tion. Tho remainder of tho session It was glyo und tuke between the big demand nnd offerings from enriched longs. May was forced back to 4lJc, tint held strong nnd closed Rjcc over yesterday at 41H5TIP1.C Corn for July delivery meanwhile dropped from a shndo to ic discount under May. It Is believed the short interest In Mnv Is very small, as tho bears are conllnlug their operations to deferred futures, Changing pf May to July was a feature of the day's business. Tho news was bullish, but prob ably wns not needed. Cables wero higher, country acceptances small and tho weather decidedly unfavorable to good roods. Pri mary receipts weru 3S3.0O0 bushels, com pared with 4S3.00O last year. Local fresh ar rivals wero 23t! cars, 3(5 of contract grade. In activity and strength the oats market was second only to corn. This mnrket. ordinarily neglected nnd without even n pit to cull Its own, mado the whent trudo look dlsmnl by comparison. The hand ot Phil lips wns nt work In tho market, his pur chases during tho day being approximated nt 3,(jK),000 bushels. This buying was pre sumably on tho theory that oats nt present nro cheap compared with corn nnd Hint tin ndvanco In the latter Is bound to bo re flected in oats. Tho recent heavy cash busi ness nnd reports of diminishing stocks were contributory factors, although today's "Alvl'infi u.ut sl'll'Plng sales down to nbotit 100,000 bushels. Some of the old bull crowd, who have been carrying a load of oats for a week In tho face of stagnant business, took advantage of the advance to ease the prcssuro of their loads. May oats opened at 25T4fj2Cc. touched 25Jn and later rallied to 2i,-,c, closing tic higher at 26c. Re recelpts wero 211 cars. The attenuated remnant of traders left In thu wheat pit was bearish and had It not been for tlio corn strength It Is highly probable the market would havo declined more tlinn It did. Tradu was light and the raimo narrow. Mnv mmnp.i u.n in tmri'.r. lower at 7C4o to 7G5(7GKc und sold early 'to uv, un iii-iivy Australian smpments and favorablo weather.

It Is largely a case, us far as tlio bulls nnd bears oro concerned, of ono being afraid and the other dare not, and, al though tho bear sldo lias unquestionably tho best of tho argument, they huvo been worried a good deal by tlio activity In coarse grains and provisions, nnd thu old fear, which has now become .chronic, that wheat Is being steadily absorbed by such Interests as are persistently working for a higher level when tho situation becomes Hutllcicntly favorable for them. Tho only features which havo at ull worked In favor of tho wheat holder uro tho steady Increaso In shipments, clearances bo far aggregat ing soma 4,000,000 bushels more than thoy did a year ugo and Argentina shipping less than one-half of last year. Primary re ceipts, however, have shown an Increase over a year ago. Considerable duplication Is represented, however, In these ligures, Thcro has be-n no Increaso In speculative Interest; wheat prices are nearly 10c a bushel higher thun a yenr ago; cash de mand, notwithstanding tho fnct that ocean rates aru lower than they havo been for many years, nro not at nil proportionate to that condition, and wo doubt very much If there Is a short Interest of sj indent volume to bo n consideration. In our Per sonal Judgment wo consider present prices maintained only out of sympathy for corn and not warranted by the legitimate con- unions now prevailing, unu, us crop pros pects at this writing are about tho best on record, we cannot feel Hint the long siue 01 wneni is consistent. The corn market has shown nctlvltv and strength of suillclcnt character to suttafv tho most rabid bull, and In the face of local opposition nas stuuuorniy continued its up ward course, gaining strength each dny und gradually acquiring more friends. Tho entire key to the situation Is In tho hands of tho fanners, who, as wo view It, aru In control both from a speculative and cash standpoint. It seems unquestionably u fact that the mnjorlty or long corn held ns regards options Is by tho countryman who has had ralth In his own property for many months nnd has bought nt very much lower prices, llu Is the same man who owns tho cash property and who is therefore In 11 position to dlctnte terms to the Insider, quite n novel reversal of thu usual position or ntTalrs. Although very tempting bids hnve been sent out to the country, they huve not Increased the movement from llrst hands, which for some time past havu been very much under last year's ligures, and with prices prevailing for cash corn und the fact that his options huvo been bought at low prices, tho countryman Is on velvet and In a good lighting position to withstand bears' attacks. Thu local crowd have been looking for setbacks Incident to radical advances and prollt-tnkltig by well bought longs, but tho sternly nbsorblng of all oiferlngs has grad ually balled out the mnrket und placed thu shorts In nn uncomfortable place. Tharu are many who believe that this advance will not be checked until the One! mark Is In sight. This Is somewhat ex treme, nnd we confess personally to being skeptical, hut, ns was remarked above, com Is out of the hands or thu professional and controlled absolutely by the fiirun.r, und the fate of prices depends consequently upon his view. Although prevailing values look high tho market Is ono-slded ns regurds opinion, and although setbacks aru certainly In order, If precedent counts for anything, wc do not consider tho short side ns yet a safo onn to rollow. It Is nlwnys good business policy to convert good paper prollts Into credit balances, but we do not feel like saying that corn has yet touched high price. For thu greater purt of thu week outs looked weak, but a very remarkable, re vival In cash demand came lo their rescue, and nfter railing to respond with any sym pathetic strength In corn oats huve acted Independently when lurge ensh sales havo been reported. There uro 110 new features and the sumo liquidating Is evident on bulges, together with thu nppeurance of good buying on breaks. This process Is Keeping oats wltlilu bounds and checking 1110 natural ueiiT sentiment The provision market has settled down to moro rational conditions; nothing or par ticular character has developed, lncreauo In pork stocks has produced a heavy du clltio In prices and eliminated thu conges tion which existed. Ribs and lard havu been getting excellent support from very strong sources und from legltlmnto reasons present vnljos nro fully wurrautcd. Con sumption position remains strong and on nil setbneks we would buy both rlba and lurd for ut least modcrato advance. FLOYD J. CAMPHKUL CO.

Thu demand for nil good grades has ulso kept up in good shape, and as a re sult thu market has changed but, little. Tho proportion or beer steers included in the rccolntH was unite, larue nil tho week, but anything at nil good sold readily. At the closu of tho week It is safo to cull thu better crudes fullv steady with tho closo of last week, and If anything tho kinds that are selling from $l.so up uro u llitio stranger. Tho high prlco of the week wns $5.40. Tho commoner grades, whllo not In as good demand, havo held their own and aro selling as nlgli as muy wero u wcck ajro. rho cow market has also been In good shnne all the week, but nrlces havo not shown much of any vurlatlon. Tho demand was uucrai anil ino supply was not exces sive, which made tho market rulo nctlvo and steady to strong most all tlio time. i ne good shut, or course, snui moro reuuiiy, but the prices paid on Friday did not look much different from those In force on tho previous Friday. Tho common canncrs havo not sold any too freely this weuk. but as a rulo brought about Bteady prlcea. Hulls may also bo eiuotcd steady lor tno week. Good kinds havo met with ready sale, but the coarse heavyweights havo been neglected and hard to dlsposu or at any price, caivcs navu field jubi unoiit ine sumo and stags havo niso sold lu last Week'H notches. The unfavorable weather this wcok rather Interfered with tlio Blocker nnd feeder trndn, nnd there nro now u good many cnttlc in tho hands of speculators, Good kinds, how ever, muy bo quoted sternly whether they nro light or heavy, but tho common kinds nro neglected und In somo cases perhaps a little lower than they wero a week ago. HOGS Tho receipts of hogs today wero fairly liberal for Saturday, but the market opened 214iiT5c higher than yesterday's gen eral market. Thero wero n number of extra prima loads on sale which wero pronounced tho best that havo been offered hero In several months, nnd they sold us high ns $0, which Is tho high point of tho yenr. Tho greatest ndvnncu today was on thu better grades of hogs. Tho general run of mixed hogs sold nt $5. 714 and $5.90, and tho choice loads sold from that up to $0. Thu lighter weights sold rrom $5.8714 down. Tho mar ket wus rather unuven, being sometimes weak and sometimes strong, but still thu trado was fairly active, and most every thing wns out of first hands In good scancm. Tho commoner kinds wero left until tho last nnd packers did not caro whether they got that kind or not. Tho hog market for tho week has been In fairly good shapo and as compared with Monday thero was an ndvanco for the week of nbout 13c, but as compared with tho closo of last week tho advance only amounts to nbout 8c, Thursday was thu high day, when tho averagu cost was nearly $5.91, but It was not until Saturday that a top of $G was reached, 1'rlccs aro now at the highest point reached since January of 1S93.
