CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE
7'nme of Bniiness for tht Pint Six
Months Larger Than Ever Before.
REDUCTION IN FREIGHT RATES ON SUGAR
Jobbers Prrpnrlna; for ni Fall Bnsl

Dallil Larger Frelalit Depots to
Business conditions during the first half
of the present year have ricen most satis
factory to Omaha Jobbers and manufac
turers. There have, of course, been tem
porary setbacks, but these always occur,
and ti may SMfHy be said that taking all
things Into consideration there has been
less to complain about so far this year than
during any corresponding period. 80 far
as can be learned, business In practically
all lines, both wholesale and retail, has
been In a very healthy condition and a big
Increase over last year Is noted. That, of
course, means that all previous records
have been broken. Not only that, but the
outlook for the Inst half of the year Is very
ancnuraalng. K-w people are worrying
about the outcome of the corn crop and
attention Is called to the fact that Ne
braska never yet lost a crop from the ef
fects of too much rain. With anything like
normal condition the remainder of the
summer those who are posted on crops say
that no one will have cause to complain,
and another good corn crop means an
enormous fall business.
From thl time on Jobber, of course,
devote prnctlcallv all of their attention to
fall huslnes". ftetaller buy very little
summer stuff after thl dale, but on the,
contrary trv to get rid of what they have.
Borne shipments of fall goods have already
been minie and preparations are rapldlv
going forward for shipping out all the
advance orders during the next six week
or two months. Traveling men are out
after more business and according to the
reports received they are meeting with very
gratifying results. Retailer have been
doing a rushing business during the list
few weeks and ss a result they are willing
to buy liberally for fall.
In snenklng of the prospects for a record
breaking fall business, a prominent jobber
said that the feature that worried him the
most was the lick of facilities on the pnrt
of the nllroad for handling freight, lie
railed attention to the fuel that Jobbers
have been Increasing the capacity of their
houes and In that way kenln up with the
growing trade. The railroads, however,
with nos'lhlv one exception, tvtve not ma
terially Increased the size of their freight
depots In manv yesrs. As a result even
during the dull period thev hn'-e all the
hulness they can handle and (lurlnar the
,iisy season thev ere simply swamped. In
his 'opinion, what Omaha needs more tnnn
any other one thing Is larger freight depots.
Groceries In Big Demand.
Wholesale grocer report the demand for
their line of good a being exceptionally
heavy for this season of the year. In fact
many of the houses have had to work their
men overtime In order to give their custom
ers prompt service. 4
The market Is still In a good healthy
condition, with prices on practically all
lines good and firm. The sugar market I
In practically the same position it w;i a
week ago, but the selling price has been
reduced 5c per 100 lbs. This Is not due to
any decline In the market on raw, but
to a reduction In the freight rates on sugar
from the seaboard to he Missouri river.
The demand haa been very heavy, taking
Into consideration the fact that the fruit
crop was damaged by the late frost, and
present prospects are that there will be a
brisk trade for some day to come.
The market on bean Is strong and fancy
hand picked stock Is quite scarce. The
cheaper grades, such as discolored and rain
damaged goods, nre being offered at lower
price, .
The cheese market I strong and an ac
tive demand Is reported. All offerings in
fact, are being freely taken from the fac
tories at full prices. Little If any change
In quotation is looked for In the near fu-
tUThe demand for dried fruits continues
heavy. This applies to peaches, apricots,
apples and prunes. The new crop of apri
cots is slightly higher than a week ago,
the advance amounting to about Me.
The canned goods market is still In a
strong position and several lines have
scored an advance during the week under
review. Corn in particular Is strong, with
an advancing tendency, and peas are firm
at the last advance. It I stated that some
packers of peaa are a much ss fl 1 per cent
short In their deliveries of standard goods".
There has been no change In the rice
situation. - Desirable grades are very scarce
and offered In mall quantities.
Cotton Goods Aetlro and Firm.
The threatened advance In cotton good
have caused many well Informed retailer
to lay In large stocKs or iapie guous wnii
vMch Omaha, house are well supplied.
Advances In prints and leading staples have
been Imperceptible during the last six
months, while the cost of raw cotton ha
advanced fully. 40 per cent. It is said, how
ever, that the price change are not now
considered a serious as the threatened
shortage of goods. Many leading manu
facturer have declined to make goods at
-present price, owing to the scarcity and
high cost of cotton. As a result a great
many of the mill have closed down. Mer
chant who have kept themselves posted
have decided that owing to these conditions
cotton goods at present quotations are gooa
xriTiM And bnvn been niacins' liberal
orders. It is thought that buying will be
still heavier from this time on. There
hava. been no Quotable changes during the
i week under review, but leading Omaha
Jobber look lor many during in nri nan
of July.
in reaa rd to the condition of trad In
feneral. Omaha dry goods Jobber find that
hey have had the largest spring business
this year on record. The advance order
business on fall goods has also been un
precedented, and on account of the tx
ceilent agricultural outlook the business of
the remainder of the year Is expected to
be fully a large a for the first half. Col
lection continue very sausiaciory.
Normal Hardware Trade.
Thin is nothing particularly new to re-
tort rea-ardina the hardware situation.
Price are in Just about the same position
they were a week ago and the general mar
ket can best be described by calling it firm
nit Active.

business with them has been steadily In
creasing, the same ss with wholesalers In
dihr lines. . Agricultural Implements.
binder twine, wagons and buggies are also
selling to good advantage. So long a the
corn crop continue In good condition all
implements used in me cultivating anu imr
veatintr of the croo will be in big demand.
Dealer are looking fur a big trade In farm
wagon. ,
Oxford Moving Better.'
There was a much better demand for
oxfords last-week than at any time so far
this season, that 1 so far u the retailer
Is concerned. The Jobbers nre of course
practically through with summer lines. It
now look as though merchants will clean
out their summer stocks in good shape and
go into the fall season with fully as light
Stocks as usual.
Kail business i coming along very nicely
Traveling men are taking good orders every
day and are far ahead of their last year'
record.
The leather market I in practically the
same condition it haa been for some little
time past. Price are good and Arm and
some line are a little higher than they
were a short time ago. The outlook is for
a continued Arm market for some time to
come.
Frail and Vegetable.
Increased receipt and lower price tell
the story of the market on staple lines of
fruits and vegetables. As will be seen
from the quotation in snother column the
variety of fruits Is very large and quota
tions on a number of different lines are
considerably lower.
Watermelons from Georgia and Florida
arrived - last week and are selling at 40
rents each and )k cent per pound re
spectlvely. The quality is about the iam
as unuil at this time of year. New po
tatoes are down to 76 cents per bushel, with
rruei'cta for still lower prices in the near
mure, old potatoes are scarce and the
supiilv will soon be exhausted. Practically
everything in the vegetable line is selling
lower than it was a week ago.
The egg market Is atamt th same as It
was a we.k ago, but the loss off Is much
heavier, owing to the warmer weather
Hens, however, are a little lower, but the
demand for spring chickens has kept the
price up to lf17 rents, Butter Is also a
little weakttr than It was a (ew days ago

NEW ORLEANS. July 4 Th board of
trade Is considering the Idea of establish
ing a department for trading In grain fu
tures. General Lafe has already appointed
a committee to look into the feaslbl ity of
future trading. New Orleans Is now the
chief grain exporting city of the United
Slates, and grain men think they should
be given a chance to hedge on deliveries
In New Orleans, Instead of being obliged
to use the Chicago or St. Louis market.

Low Level of Rale Resnltlnsj.
NEW TORK, July I. Many member of
the stock exchange who hsd petitioned
the board of governors to make today a
holiday Ignored the session today and went
out of town. The handful of members who
sttended the session today traded among
themselves almost exclusively, and there
was scarcely sn echo of the outside wor'd
In the board room. As a consequence to
day's dealings fell below shares to a
new low level of activity for the year. The
fact that the grain and provision markets
were closed for a holiday Increased the
apathy in the stock market, owing to She
large Importance attached at this time to
the progress of the crops. Whatver specu
lative Interest wss diverted from the field
seemed to go Into the cotton market, which
divides with It at present the chief specu
lative interest. There wa feverish activity

CA1TLE It was almost like a datuiaay
In the cattle yards this morning, as receipts
were very light. Packers were not anxious
for supplies, owing to the fact that tomor
row will be a holiday and the cattle that
are purchased today will not be killed until
Monday. It was a stow maraat, out. pnuea
Wire not far from steady.
The receipts today were largely made up
of beef sUer. Buyers did nut take hoid
with a great deal of life, but still tne cattle
kept changing hands and about everything
roid in yesterday's notches. Some sales
looked a shade stronger and others a shade
easier, but there was not enough change to
be wormy ot mention, ror ine wee ir.o
market 1 generally 10815c lower and 20c
lower in extreme cases. The decline ha
been general on all kind. Choice cattle are
quotable from 4.80 to 15.26. fair to good
from 4. to 34.75 and common kind from
84.50 down. .
The cow market was uneven today, but
generally steady. Good stuff sold readily,
ut the common and medium kinds were
slow sale, the same an they have been all
the week. As compared with the close of
last week, the choice grades or oorniea
cows and neirers are not a great, ueai
inanr imt all otners nave, sunerea con
siderably. As a general thing the decline
is put at right around a quarter, witn
extreme cases a little more. It has been
a very uneven market all the week and
the nrioea secured for grassers and medium
cornfeds have been largely a matter ot
luck. Cannera especially have been hard
to dlapose of, but they are not a great
deal lower lor tne ween, as uiey nave uemi
low sellers for some lutle time. They sell
mnmllv from 11 Vn to 82.50. fair to KOOd
grass cows go from 82.76 to 38.00 and good
to choice mostly trom 33.00 to 33.25, with
fancy grades from tnat up. f air to gjoa
cornfeus sell largely from (3.2b to X7 and
food to choice from 83.75 to 34.26, with
inn irrades from that UP.
Good fat bulla have held nearly steady
all the week, but stock bulls have been
dull and lower.- Veal calves are about 50o
lower. Good veals are now selling around
IA Mil nnd 15.25.
There were not enough stock cattle on
sale today to talk about. The tendency of
prices has been downward tins weea, as
the demand from the country haa been
very limited. The most of them have Bold
loiyaSc lower man last wa. nepreseuu.
