THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: PI X DAY. MAY 12. 1001. 21 CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Velum! of Btuiueu In All LtutJ Continue Uiuiuillj Hut;. NEW TEA ARRIVING AT YOKOHAMA J. oral Trade .flected by Murk Speculation mill Confidence In I'n lurc lliilnei Iteiimlnt i'n tlrclj I ndlsturhrd, Very few complaint have been heard re garding the condition of trade during the last week. Jobbers, In fact. In nearly all tine nay that order have been coming In exceptional1)- well and that they are very Agreeably urprlert at the amount of bul ne at bund The bad weather the first purt of the week tended to keep buyer at home, but still retail trade out In the country wa w heavy the previous week thut ft great many merchant thought they had better take advantage of the light trade during th ftormy weather to r.ime to market and pet a fresh upply of goods The cold wave the last of the week alo had a bad effect upon reto.il trade In cum mer lltiefc, but mill merchants are all look. Iiik for an enormous demand to Bit In with the next ivpearunce of warm weather and for that reason are by no mean disour- Storks In the hand of furniture Jobber. Implement men and hardware men In par ticular are llcht and In many cane-, the amount of buslties that ran be transacted i limited only by the amount of Rood that can be obtained, Both retailers and whole saler., however, are becoming accustomed to that state of affairs and uro not doing nearly ns much complaining as they were a short time ago . The excitement on the New York Stock exchange apparently had no effect whnt'ver upon trad at thlt point and buslne moved steadily on the same a though l.othing extraordinary were taking place There have been quite n few market fluctuations since last report, but still pone of them are of a very startling nature nnd with but vn' few exceptions they are in the direction of higher value. The markets PS a whole are In u very healthy condition nnd buying for future requirements I of exceptionally large proportion Collections are in satisfactory shape and but verj few failures among retailers are reported. Ilriiucil Minor About Mrmly. Wholesale grocers report n good demand for all lines of reasonable good. This I the busy time with people in the country and as a result goods are going into cin sumptlon nt n rupld rate The market as a whole Is In u good strong position and several ndvanceE hRVe taken place since last report Sugar, however, remains Just about the same so far as refined grades are concerned, but raws have advanced 1-lfie since last report With warmer weathur an enormous consumption Is looked for. The coffee market Is alsu In Just about the same position Is was a week ago The mar ket fluctuates a trifle back and forth, but prices cannot be quoted either higher or lower than thev were n week ago. Jobbers received word Thursday by cable gram from Yokohama to the effect that the new crop of tea Is Just beginning to urrlvo on that market. The message read as follows. "Market nrtlve buying general, prices about same as last year. Sttlcmenis about SOti.MK) pounds more than last year.' No dellnlte statements have been received here ns yet regarding the outcome of the crop, but the general Impression seemt, to be that It Is In good shape. In dried frutts currants are reported tllc higher, owing to the llghi supply In this country nnd in Greece, and the new crop will not be on the market until about November Prune have not changed with the exception of the smaller sizes, which are firm, owing to scarcity. Evaporated apples are quoted Llftc higher than they were a week ngo. Evaporated peaches are also In a good strong position and especially Is that true of the cheaper grades, which are reported well cleaned up. The market on the coast Is proportionately higher at the present time than It is on the river In farinaceous goods rolled oms are sell ing Sj'BSSc per barrel higher than they were a week ago Nearly u II case goods have also udvanced fif715c per case. The present high price of corn Is causing such lines as syrups to advance and starcn for the same reason has gone up MjUc per pound. Canned goods have not changed particu larly, with the exception of tomatoes, which aie firmer, owing to the fact that the sur plus In Baltimore Is getting well cleaned up. The market Is now In a good strong posi tion. Hnrdimrr Continue Active. Nothing of much Interest took place In hardware circles last week. Trade continues heavy, while the supply of goods In many lines Is far below the requirement. That however, has long since ceased to be news as merchants are well aware of the fact that Jobbers cannot get enough goods to meet the. demand and have to a lnrge ex tent stopped their complaining. There Is no special feature to the trade, as the de mand Is for all kinds of seasonable goods and if Jobbers could fill all the orders they have received the volume of business would be far ahead of all previous record The market Is also devoid of special 'na tures Prices are firm all along the line, as they are bound to be when there is a shortage, but no advances f importance have been reported. Trices on window glass were marked up again on Saturday, as was expected by those posted on the situation The advance amount to nbout 7 per cent, and with the higher prices comes the announcement that the association fnctorles will clc.e down until some time in October. They usually close during the summer, but this is about n month earlier than usual. This action on the part of the manufacturers of course has a tendency to strengthen the market, and those who are In a position to know sny there Is no possibility of lower priors for at least six months. Plate glass con tinues in good demand and prices remain unchanged. The market on paints. Unseed oil nnd turpentine ulso holds Just about stendy. .tinny llnjrr Arriving;. Although the weather a great part of the time last week was unfavorable for a heavy demand for seasonable lines of dry goods, local Jobbers enjoyed a very nice business. A large number of buyers arrived and as a rule placed liberal orders. According to nil report from the country stocks are begin ning to run low on a good many lines, and the general Impression Is that it will not take many days of warm weather to start sortlnc-up orders to coming In nt n rapid rate What retailers want Is warm weather, and with that they say they will have all the business they can handle. The tendency among merchants Is to buy abend of their present requirements, so as to be In good ahape for the rush that is sure to come. The market a a whole is In very good shape The weakness that has prevnlled In eastern markets on some lines of cotton goods I rapidly disappearing, and the gen eral Impression K that the bottom of the marki has been reached, and that any future rhange will be n the direction of firmer prices. Interest Just nt present Is centered around the yarn situation. Manu facturers are waging a war on each other, and as a result prices are 2f per cent lower 4 Vt n x rt it ti'v u-mn ...1 v . . . opened.

Srlllnjr Pnll Clnthlnic. So far as the leather goods trade Is con cerned there Is not much new to be mid Very few slzlng-tip orders ure being re ceived as yet, owing to the fact that re taller have not sold enough stock as yet to make the buying of more goods neces sary. Traveling men are all hustling for fall orders and are meeting with excep tionally enod success Evervthlnir nt nr,.. ent points to a exy nice reorder business in summer lines nnd an tiegunt trade in winter goods. About the only thing there Is for rubber men to do Is to sell rubber clothing and they are doing that with good success. Be toilers are taking hold In un encouraging manner-and it looks now as though more advance orders would be tuken thnn ever before. In some sections, of course, con siderable stock 1 being carried over from last year and in those cases It Is Impos sible to sell more goods ut this time, rrult mid Produce, Fruit jobbers report a very good trade during the past week The hitter part of the week berries begun to urnve In carload lots from Arkansas and from this time on there will probably be an ubundance of berries on the market good enough for shipping Before Prlday berries were being billed out at i, but beginning with Prl day the price on good stock dropped down to 13.50. The stock that has come In so far from Arkansas has been sound enough, but the berries were not very large. It Is thought, however, that there will be an Im provement from this time on. California cherries are now on the market and are selling at J1.75 per k-Ib, box. Lem ons are selling quite freely, prices ranging from W.OiSf3J5.

May ll.-The markets were quiet and easier today. July wheat closed c lower. July corn U.c down and July oata Uc depressed. Provisions closed Ml T'sc down. The wheat market was largely a pro fessional one. The government report held out a prospect fully as Mattering a th" most intense bear could wish, but It had been discounted and it required the additional In .uence of lower cable and a weuk corn market to draw price further on the de cline. July opened nc down to He lower at 71t to TOHc. It sold between 71Sf7tSc during the curtailed esslun and closed V lower at 70Sr7nc The top price was reached on coveting by short, who gen erally sold later when the) found that no udvanee was on the schedule May wh sold actively for a time and dropped 'tc under July, but recoiered and cloned with the discount narrowed to c. Exporter re ported 22 loads tuken. Seaboard clearance In wheat and Hour were equal to nM.ooO bushel, while primary receipts were 341,iO bushels, compared with J6,(iO bushels last year. Mlnneatolls and Duluth reported 17P cars, against 2V1 cars iat week and 424 cars a year ago. Local receipts were 104 cars, one of contract grade. The corn trade was fairly active. Easi ness prevailed at the start and later de veloped In pronounced weakness in the July delivery. A sharp decline at Liverpool, llbertl receipts und excellent climatic conditions were the factor respon sible for this state of affair. Long com cume out hour ufter hour and July having opened 'y&Se to tc lower at 44V to 44Sc and touched 44Hi44.c. worked off to 44MW4,c. Here the negligent bull party, which had been doing nothing, gave the market support for a time, but toward the end of the session the pressure became more severe. Stop-loss orders on small lots, were reached and July broke to 43U.C The close was weak, l'.c down at 43M 43.c. May sold between .Vic und fKHtc and closed unchanged at Nu-jc. after a session almost bare of transactions. Receipts were 257 cars. G7 of contract grude Oats wete fairly active und steady for some time on buying for the outside nc count und by elevator Interests. Later the surrounding weakness caused liberal sell ing, under which prices declined fructl'jii ally. Receipts were 101 cars. July sold be tween 27c und 27i6"7l,i,c and closd ,.c Tower at 1'7'vc. Provisions started steady on light hog receipts, but eased Inter In sympathy with corn. July pork sold between $14.85 and $14 fiO and closed 17HC lower ut $14.0).

The publishing of the government report this ufternoon, giving a winter wheat condition of 94.1 und indicating u total yield of over 417,000,000 bushels, tius weak ened materially the position of the bull nnd left him with but little ground upon which to stund. There ure but two factors In evidence ut present which ma prove his salvation, one n continental demand for our cash wheat und the other the enlargement of speculative Interest. This lutter, viewed in the light of Its effect upon stocks and securities, will bo u very potent Influence nnd one which would offset muterlully bearish statistics. At the present, how ever, this factor Is non-evident, and with the nervous tension prevailing in the stork market and the attractiveness of It-to the speculator, grain may temporarily be de serted until things udjust themselves to a more normal and rational stute. It is worthy of note thut the stock murket of today Is essentially n rich man's market nnd should be left alone by others than those financially cupuble of meeting large culls und ability to luce panics und re verses. In view of the general appr elation In American values, wheat at these figures la not essentlully high, but from n supply and demand standpoint, 70 cents iR quite representative of actual wheat values. Wheat speculation of further crop deterio ration may moderate declining tendencies but until something more tangible favoring udvanclng prices materializes, profits from short selling on bulges should not be diffi cult of realization. The bears in the corn pit who have until recently exercised but little Influence and who have been lying low, have sud denly acquired a degree of aggressiveness which bus revived the tight waged turly In the prerent deal, but abandoned tempo rarily some weeks ago.

Totals Ci ' 5.150 CATTLE There were practically no cuttle on bale today to make u test of the murket. Tor the week the tupply has been quite liberal, a slight gain nuvlng beon mude over last week, und in fuct the supply wus the heuv lebt ot any week so far this yeur. A slight loss, hovsever, Is noted In com parison witn Ine culiesuonuitig wectt ut lust yeur. As has been the case for some time pust, beet steers made up the bulk of the re ceipts. The quality us u -"hole was very good, and the demund. siting tit liberal proportions, the market was active most of the time. The week sturted In with u slight udvance. but Monday proved to bo the high daj of the week. Since thut time the guln 01 Monday hus been Just about lost, so that the week closes steudy with the close ot last week. The supply of cow stuff has been very light ull the week, und us the demand wus 01 very ruir proportions tho murket ruled uctlvu unci Just utiuut steady ull the week Some days the prices paid looked n little stronger than on otheis, but still there hus not been enougli change lor several weeks past to be worthy ot mention Gunners huve been ruther neglected, but there were only u few offered, und us ustiul, they sold unevenly, so thut It is difficult to tell what the market on them Is. Bulls of good quality huve ulso sold In good shupe und muy be quoted fully steady tor the week. The sume Is true of calves und slugs. The tendency on ttockcrs and feeders has been downwurd all this week. The demund from the country hus been light owing probubly In part to the high prices prevailing The generul run ot feeders an safely be quoted a quurter lower tor the week. Some of the le tter grades have perhaps not gone oft quite thut much, but on the other hand some of the commoner rudes are euslly 35c lower. HOGS Thete wus rather a light run of hogs hen today for ven a Suturduj, and the murket opened 2'.iO&c higher thun yes terduy's general market. The bulk of the hogs sold ut $6 C21-: und J5.G5, with the better grades at $5 07', und us high us J5.72H; wus jmid. It wus u luirly nctlve market und everything wus sold and weighed up In good senson There wus no purtlculur change in the market from start to finish, us puckert were willing to tuke ull thut was on sule ut the prices otTeied. The receipts of hogs at this point were not hcuvy this week, the supply being the lightest In some little time, but not far from the sume as lust yeur The demand has been In good shupe and prices have not changed muterlully. The week opened with n slight udvance, which wus continued on Tuesduv. which wus the hlirb dnv nf ih., week. The price then went down until 1 i'nuay, vvnicn wus me lowest auy reachfd since ubout the middle of Murch. Suturday the murket tegulned part of the Iukh. the week closing Just ubout steady, with the close of the previous week. Representative Miles : No. Av. Sh. lr. No Av. Bh.

The demand on the part ot puckers has been rather light all week, and .is u rebult slow, weak mnrkets were experienced.
