18 THE OMAHA DAILY BEEt SUNDAY, JANUAUT 20, lHOir. CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE tlprlif Baitusi with Jobbiri 'tod Mam. ftotnrtn Nw W.H U.d.r Wj, fPRICES FIRM WITH UPWARD TENDENCY Groccrlc In Pnrllotilnr Arc Strong, fiiiKiir, dinned OihiiIn, Dried Fruit find Sevcrnl Other I.lncs IIcIiik Hunted Higher. Omaha Jobbers and manufacturers In practically all lines enjoyed a .jery nlco Irado Inst week. . Attention Is flow ccn torcd In spring business and wholesalers aro shipping out un Immcnso amount or print? goods that wcro bought earlier In tno year. In somo lines Jobbers nro look ing oh far abend as next fall and havo their men on tho road tnklng orders for August and September shipment. 1 hero Is, of course, somo Immcdlato business, but still orders of that kind aro rather small, as the season Is now so far advanced that rolallers do not caro to Ret much stock on hand. According to thu reports received from traveling men, dealers, nst a general thing, have cleaned out their winter stocks in good shape and for that reason will start Into tho spring trado with plenty of ready money with which to discount their bills. In view of tho mild weather that has been experienced up to this time Joll iers consider It u good indication that mer chants havo been able to dlsposo of their stocks and It Is the general Impression that If February should provo to by a cpid month thcro would still be considcrablo mall order business. It would also help out mcrchunts who bought heavily last full and who sltll havo largo "tocks on hand. Taking tho situation us a whole, however, wholesalers and retailers are well satlsllcd with tho trado they havo had and aro full of confidence for tho future. Tho market on nearly all lines Is In a good, healthy conilltlon and the tendency of prices Is upward rather than downward. Thero havo been' a few fluctuations In gro ceries tho past week" und most of those havo been ndvances, but outsldo of groceries thero havo been no Important chunges In ruling quotations. HiiKiir Advanced Ten Cents. Tho grocery markot ns a wholo was very strong nnd active all last week and Job bers report a very satisfactory trado for this season of tho year. One of tho most Important fluctuations was the advance in sugar, which amounted to 10 cents per loo pounds. This advance- applies to all lines of roflncd sugars and raws worn affected oven moro than tho rrllnod grades, the former having been marked up a full U cent. It Is stated that holders aro not at nil anxious to sell at present prices and tho feeling Is very firm, with Indications favorable, for still higher prices In tho near future. .... In dried fruits thero has been little or no change so fnr us this markot Is concerned. On tho coast, howovcr, higher prices arc Wing asked for nearly all lines and par ticularly for peaches. Tho Italsln Growers' association has withdrawn from tho mar ket entirely nnd It Is reported that when prices are again offered they will bo from 'h to 1 cent per pound higher than' thoso that have been In force tip to this time. This advance Is based on the fact that stocks aro lighter titan they havo bedn for ncvoral years nt this season and It Is thought theru Is not enough left to last until the new crop appears. In coffee there Is nothing particularly new to bo said, as tho market Is holding Just about steady. Trailing, however, Is mora active than it has been for some llttlo tlmo past. Tho tea market Is also In Just about tho same position It was a week ngo. Tho 'canned goods market Is very firm, but tho only "change of Importance since last report Is a still further advance In tomatoes. , ' Deans nnd oatmeal are being quoted a trlflo lower than they wcro a week ago, but other lines of farinaceous goods are un changed. Sisal ropo Is firmer nnd higher prlers nro looked for In the near future. This Is owing to the high prices being naked for tho raw material and also to tho fact that manufacturer aro now getting ready to :ommcnco tho manufacture of binder twlno. Tho choeso' market firmed tip a llttlo last week and thoso who nro well Informed predict higher prices owing to tho fact that but very few factories aro running because of tho high prlco of feed. Corn syrups advanced sharply last week nnd gloss starch was also marked up cent per pound. Other sfuplo lines hnndlcd by Omnha Job bers uro selling In Just about tho samo notches they wero a week ngo. Knrly lltijern Tiuw Arriving. Spring trade with Omaha dry goods Job tiers has now opened up In earnest. Quito a fow largo buyers canto on tho market last Sveck anil ns a result house trado assumed a. moro lively aspect than hns been noticed In somo tlmo past. Moro buyers aro ex pected next week und a 'steady increnso is looked for from now until tho height of tho season Is reached. Stocks In Utnaha nro larger and moro cotnpleto than they over havo been before and It Is very evi dent that while tho new houses have In creased tho volume of business transacted Jn tho city that tho old houses are. also doing a largely Increased business. Earlier In tho 'year It was predicted that thero would bo mqro buyers on the Omaha mar ket this year than over before, but tho way things look now Jobbers say thcro will be moro than anticipated. It Is also tho gen- very freely, us trade out through tho coun try ought to bo n good shapo this, spring and summer. Upsides unending to the buyers that are coming on the market Jobbers are rushing out their advnnco orders, of which thoy navo moro than ever before. Traveling men nro meeting with good success on the roud, so that Jobbers feel greatly encour aged with tho condition of trado In nil de partments. So far as tho market is concerned thero nave been no changes worthy of mention In either cotton or woolen goods. Tho cotton market may bo said to bo strong and at this early jierlod thero is no grounds for predicting lower prices. On tho contrary advances aro being talked of on some do elrablo lines. " . ? Aetlve Leather Good Trade. Leather goods Jobbora atso report a very satisfactory trade. They are getting quite n few sizing up orders and It now looks ns though retailors would be nblo to clean tin their stocks In good shape. At tho present tlmo Jobbers nro shipping out their nd. vnnce orders and find It a bigger Job than UEunl, as they took more advance orders this year than ever boforo.. Traveling men uro making their usual rounds and speak very encouragingly of tho prospocts for tho future, riie most noticeable feature nf the Irado In spring and summer lines is tho ex ceptionally heavy demand for oxfords. It looks mow us though that stylo of shoo would io mow popular this season than lost in bofti men's and women's lines. Tho rubber goods trade Is a llttlo quint Just at present, so far as Immedlato bus. ness Is concerned. Traveling men sny, liowover. that merchants In tho states of 3 own, and Nebraska havo sold out their stocks In good shapo and that cold weather or snow would undoubtedly bring In qu to aJ,w.lnail ,,r'1!r' I" the' far west 1 -over thero has not been enough winter to create much domind for such lines us itrctlcs and bo merchants' slocks uro rather heavy.

The choice grades, such as would sell from JG.00 to 17.00, aro probably only about steady for tho week, Thero was an active demand for cows nnd heifers all the week, and particularly toward the close prices strengthened up considerably nnd the market closed fully 10J?15c higher, and In somo cases tho nd vanco seemed even greater. Tho medium kinds and good to choJen grades Improved the most. As high as $5.40 was paid on Thursday for iv prime bunch, which shows that good cow stuff will bring fancy prices. Tho cows that sell below $3.00 did not Im prove very much during tho week. Thcro Is a wide range of prices now, na canners sell as low as $1.50, whllo tho good to cholco kinds sell from $4.00 to ?5.40. Hulls, veal calves and stags may bo quoted fully steady for tho week, with tho (lomand actlvo where the quality was sat isfactory. As high as $7.00 was paid for veal calves, and the bulk of the bulls are going from $2.75 to $4.00, though occasion ally a sale will be made as high as $1.40. -Good" heavyweight. feeders may be quoted about steady for the week, but all others nro 15Q23C lower, and In extreme cases common lightweight stuff Is 40c lower owing to the heavy receipts and light de mand. It takes a prime bunch of fleshy feeders to reach $1.50, while cattlo of pretty good quality can be bought for from $3.90 to $1.25. Tho commoner kinds sell from $3.75 down to $2.50.

OECIIED SLUMP IN GRAIN PRICES i Improved Condition In Winter Wheat licit nnd Volume nf Limit Corn Poured Into Mnrkrt tho I.eiidluit Fentttren. CHICAGO, Jan. 23. Reported Improved conditions In the winter wheat belt, to gether with the decided slump In corn, cuuscd an unmerciful hammering of tho wheat market today and May wheat closed with a loss of l'.ijfl'ic at 7Sc. Corn wns In a worse dilemma than wheat and closed IHc lower for May. Liquidation by the bull clique, apparently to secure prollts, caused the breaK. Oats closed c lower, In sym pathy with tho other grains. Provisions rulcir stendy throughout the session. Whcnt started fairly stendy, mainly on tho sharp rally at Liverpool, which wns quoted 'Tid higher. Light domestic receipts, coupled with the closing Ilrmness of yes terday, Induced considerable buying, under which Mny opened unchnnged to c higher at 79-H4j79c to 79c. There was not enough biti'Ing to carry the market up to any great extent and titter May had touched 79c reports nf a generous snowfall throughout the .southwest, whero tho -winter wheat has been threatened with damage, de veloped a decided bearish sentiment nnd the slight advance wus soon lost, A rumor thnt tho ndvanco nt Liverpool wns duo to the fact that n 3c dutyvwus likely to bo Imposed on tho other side, coupled with a decided slump In tho prlco of corn, started a selling movement thnt forced the price of .Mny down to 7Sc. Tho execution of stop loss orders nlso helped tho decline. There wns little demand during the break, except from shorts, who bought sparingly to sectirel profits. A few minutes nt tho cud oT tho session a fulrly good demand from the country brought' nbout a slight upturn, but tho Improvement was short lived and the market closed weak, within c of tho bottom prlco of the dav, at 78c for May. Chicago received 32 cars, two of contract grade. Minneapolis and Dultlth received 411 cars, compared with 243 for tho samo day last year. Total receipts nt western primary markets were 439,000 bu., against 400,000 a year ago. Seaboard clearances of whcnt and Hour wero equal to 240,000 bu, Small western offerings und an ndvanco of d nt Liverpool gavo corn a strong start, but trade was. slow and the markot soon showed a. tendency to sag off. There was only scattered selling at first, but ns prices worked lower liquidation became general and tho markot broko prcclpltl ouslv. Tho greater part of tho selling wnB attributed to the Pattons, who are said to luivo unloadad the romnlnder of their long line. Long corn poured Into the pit from nil directions, St. Louts In particular being n heavy seller. Stop-loss orders wero numerous on the decline. Thero wns a feeble attempt made to rally the markot towurd the close, but liquidation was too henvy and Improvement wns only tempo rary, the market closing weak. May opened c higher at 63063c. touched 6.15(63c. declined sharply to 61c, roso to 614c nnd sold oft again to 61c nt tho close. Re ceipts wcro 94 enrs. Onts wcro Influenced by tho weakness In tho other grains. At the start the market was firm, but soon enscd oft under pcr slstent'selllng. Trade wus mainly In July, one northwestern broker buying at least 7.000.000 bu. -Mny opened c higher at 455J45c nnd declined to 41c nt the closo. Receipts were light, 107 cars, with 11 con tract. Provisions wero comparatively steady while the grain markets wero going through their liquidating experience. Busi ness was dull and a reduction In the ho receipts put a check on the desire to well.. Mny pork closed 10c lower, at $16.37. May lard practically unchanged nt $9.60 and May rlDR ZV4C lower at it.bit.
