COTTON GOODS TO BE SCARCE AND HIGH New Trices a Rikber Geeds Expeeted First Fetrarr mm Prebably Will Be Higher Tkaa Those Rallav at Present. According to reports received from ths country last week trade wtih retailers was better than for some little time past. The colder weather apparently Improved ths de mand for seasonable goods to quite an ex tent. The majority of merchants who have been heard from report their trade so far this year as being ahead of last vear and so long aa that Is the rase they have very little cause for complaint There seems to ho little fear of their not cleaning out their stocks of winter goods as closely as usual and should February prove to be a cold month they would undoubtedly carry over very little stock. Wholesalers and manufacturers also re port business as being normal for the time of year. Trade on seasonable goods Is of course limited the same an usual In Jan uary, but spring lines are beginning to move and everything at the present time Indicates a larger volume of business than a year ago. The general prosperity of all classes of people throughout the territory 'tributary to Omaha Is the principal reason given by Jobbers for their predicting a large volume of business. Each week It becomes more evident that values on leading staples are based on a good firm foundation and that healthy strong markets will be experienced for some time to come. Ever since the first of the year the general situation In that re spect has been Improving and now there are very few bears left. Everyone from the grower of staples to the consumer Is looking for higher rather than for lower prices and as a result those are best posted on general conditions consider merchan dlpo at present prices as good property. Collections on most lines are In good con dition and very few complaints on that score are heard. Aaother Advance la Coffee. Wholesale grocers had a favorable word to say regarding the condition of trade and In fact report their sales as being con siderably ahead of laat year. The general tendency of prices seems to be upward on most lines and particularly Is that true of coffee. The advance on both green and roasted coffees last week amounted to lc per pound, which makes the total advance within the last two months about 4o per found. Prices are now higher than they lave been for several years past, but the general opinion Is that the top has not yet been reached. There is no doubt but what the crop is short and besides that, very little stock was carried over from last year by either Jobbers, Importers or retail ers. As a result buying has been very heavy and probably will continue so ior some time to come. The demand for dried fruit is reported as being in good shape and the market strong. Since the California Rasln Growers' associa tion meeting, which was held at Fresno a short time ago, at which the members re fused to lowor their prices and announced that their quotations would be continued Indefinitely, outside stocks have been clean ing up rapidly and few are now ottered. The situation, therefore. Is becoming stronger and It Is thought higher prices will follow In a short time. Peaches are being closely held by three or four parties who are said to be per fectly capable of maintaining their posi tion and as a result higher prices are an ticipated at most any time. It Is announced that the low sellers or Oregon prunes have either withdrawn their ?uotatlons or advanced their Ideas to enn orm with others, the advance amounting to about Viff'-TC per pound, 'ine siock pi prunes In California Is comparatively light and a very Iatge portion of It Is con trolled by the different associations which are In very close touch with the prevailing conditions. While no very Important ad vances are looked for In the near future, still Indications are that the course of the market will be upward rather than other wise. In canned goods, peas of the better class are reported In light supply. In sympathy with offerings for futures standard grades of spot goods are very strong and there ROOMS TO RENT.

The rice market Is In good shape with buyers for all high grade Japs that are offered, particularly If anv concessions from ruling prices are offered. There Is nothing new to report regard ing the sugar situation, as priors are prac tically the same as they were a week ago, both on raws and refined. The demand Is reported good for the time of year. ' Other staples not mentjoned above are also steady for the week. Cottea Goods Still Advaarlag. The cotton market Is still very erratlo, with prices fluctuating back and forth very rapidly, but hovering around 13V 14c, which Is an advance over a year ago of from 6Ho to 6o per pound. On this basis Jobbers say that lor next fall prices will have to be advanced on manufactured floods, such as- flannels and blankets, from 4 to 18 per cent. With audi a situation, both manufacturers and Jobbers are rather Ht a loss to know what to do. '1 lie man ufacturers are afraid to make prices vn many kinds of goods, owing to the fact that the cotton market Is so erratic that they do not know whether or not they can buy the raw material and get out on ine prices wnicn they quote, in view of the fact that the visible supply of cotton at the present time Is about one and a half, million bales short of the usual slock at this time of the year, and also to the fact that stocks are controlled by a few hands even more closely than was the case a year ago, there does not seem to be much chance of any reduction In the cost of the raw cotton which will enable manufac turers to lower the price on the finished products. On the other hand, there Is every reason for thinking that cotton will rule higher rather than lower and In that event the prices which look high at the present time will be low In comparison with those which will rule In tba fu ture. The best Informed buyers are anxious to protect themselves against further ad vances and as a result local Jobbers are doing more business than they were a year ago. In about six weeks they expect to have many of their fall samples ready for the trade and confidently expect to do an enormous advance order business light from the start At the present time they are devoting the most of their attention to spring lines and quite a few heavy buy era have already arrived on the market. In a short time the rush will be on and, according to advices received both direct from retailers and through traveling men, there will be more buyers on the mar), ket this spring than ever heiui e. tv u..er stocks are going to pieces In good shape, which Will put retailers In a buying frame of mind and therefore their orders should bs liberal. Better Demand for Hardware. There has been a marked Improvement during the last week or ten days in the demand for hardware. Seasonable goods are moving out to some extent, but orders for that class are necessarily small at this time of the year. Hprlng lines, how ever, are beginning to pick up and In a very short time Joboers expect to be In the midst of their spring business. So far as can be told at this time the volume of business will be fully as good as last year, if not better. Stocks In the country are Bald to be rather small and In that event merchants will buy freely. There have been no Important market changes during the week under review. Prices sre firm, the same as they have been since the beginning of the new year, and the general tone to the market keeps get ting better. Those In a position to know say with a good deal of emphasis that they look for firm, healthy markets for some time to come, and that no one need fear to lay In a good stock of spring goods at prevailing prices. Rubbers Selling- Slowly. This is the time of year when retailers as a rule have sold the bulk of their rubber goods. That Is not the case this year, how ever, owing to the exceptionally mild win ter that has been experienced bo far. There was, of course, some demand for rubbers last week, but It was comparatively small. Merchants, however, are still In hopes that there will be enough cold weather the re mainder of the winter to enable them to clean up what goods they have on hand. W holesalers also want more seasonable weather, for they realise that It will be a difficult proposition to start out and sell rubbers for next fall delivery unless mer chants sell much more of their present stocks than they have up to date. The general opinion now is that prices for next fall will be named February 1. That, of course. Is only a rumor and no one can tell with any degree of certainty when they will be named until they are actually announced. It Is expected that when the new prices are put in force that they wijl be some little higher than those now prevailing. In leather goods business is also rather Others Won Prizes Last Week.

The demand for fruits end vegetables has been about normal for the time of year. It will be noticed from the quotations in another column that onslderable green stock Is now on the vegetable market and the demand for that class of goods Is very rrood. Prices on staples have changed very ittle during the week. Fruits sre also sell ing In Just about the sams notches they were at last report.
