CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE
Voluma of Basineu Last Week Quit
Large, Although Weather Unfaforable.
PROSPECTS FOR FUTURE VERY BRIGHT
Market In Good, Hrtl'hf Condition,
with Hardware Ttklif Lead la
1 pward MortntDl of Frier
Adraitfi Expected.
Although weather condition last
could nol be considered fnvoratiie for the,
rapid movement of seasonable goods, still
Omaha Jobbers and manufacturers In prac
tically all line reported trade as being
quite satisfactory. There are, of course,
certain good which are not purchased
until they are actually needed, but on the
other hand pleasant weather always brlnas
out a great many shoppers and they spend
their money. Taking everything Into con
sideration both retailrra and wholesalers
In the territory tributary to Omaha feel
that they have' little cause for complaint.
Advance ordT for spring are coming In
very freely and a far traveling s.ileemen
have met with better success than they did
a year ago. The convention of retailers
which whs held In Omaha this week
brought In quite a good many buyers and
besides plating some orders for Immediate
shipment they also bought quite freely for
spring delivery. They all hsd a good word
to tar of th" present situation and par
ticularly of the prospects for the future.
Jobbers are making greater preparations
than ever before for their spring trade, as
they feel confident that they are going to
break all previous records In the amount of
goods sold.
It Is very evident that prices on most
lines of eiods are tending upward. This Is
particularly noticeable In the Iron nnd
steel market, which la taken as hn Index
of the general situation. The prediction Is
being- freely made that values on practic
ally sll stnple goods will advance quite
sharply during tha next few weeks and
consequently well posted hovers felt that
this Is a good time to carry llheral stocks.
Collections are reported as1 Itelng very
satisfactory and very few bad accounts
have been reported.
Sntrar Still Adraaelag.
Wholesale grocers report tha demand last
weak for their Una of goods as being fully
up to expectations and such lines a ure
sold for the Thanksgiving trade were In
big request. The market Is also In a good
healthy condition and a few lines bav
shown advances since last report. Among
these Is sugar, which has scored another
advance of 10 points. The market la re
ported very firm at the advance and It Is
being freely predicted that the top has not
yet been reached. Coffee, which has been
In a very strong position for some time
past, la still firm, but no very material ad
vances have been reported during the last
few days. The genera", belief, though, Is
that the mBrltet will be considerably higher
In a short time.
In the line of dried fruits a continued de
mand for Inrge-alr.ed prunes has hardened
the market on the larger sixes and the
smaller sixes have Advanced owlns to
scarcity. Sixes SO to 40 nnd 40 to 50 com
mand a premium of 1 to 2 cents per pound
above the basis for ordinary sixes. There
Is also an active demand for raisins and
the spot market la said to be well cleaned
up on all grades, with the possible excep
tion of two crown. Peaches continue very
strong at the recent advance and nprlcots
are also In a strong position. A little
firmer feeling Is noted on evaporated ap
ples, but still the supply of that line la
abundant.
Not much change has taken place during
the week under review on canned goods.
The supply of both corn and tomatoes Is
plentiful, enough cannera needing money
to keep prices rather low. There Is a great
shortage In asparagus which Is being em
phasised more and more everv day, and
nil offerings are being freely taken.
All such lines as nuts. fig, olives and
fnor goods have sold very freelv for the
Thankrglvlng trade, but practically no
changes have taken place.
Sharp Advance In Hardware.
The hardware market has apparently
lulled on an upwttrd Journey, wiucn snows
. taut the Omaha Jobbers who a few weeks
' ! ago wore predicting Important- advances,
wire well posted on the. situation. The
uemand lor stapia and seasonable lines In
practically an sections of the country la
leportea as lie lug very brisk, and aira re
truit manuiucturers ure rapidly Increasing
tneir price. Mince last report, smoutn
and baru wire and nails have been advanced
juc Ualvanlxeu Iron baa been marked up
loo per lue pound, plucg sheets lug, sheet
iron rooiuia ic aud sueet ainu Hue. These
are limply some of the inure linpurtaiit
cnunge mat nave none Into effect, during
tpe week and jobber gay that this la omy
1 ti sample of what is 'to come. Tney loon
fur much Higher prices on practically all
leading lines In the near luture and that
or course will cause advances on nearly
all classes ot goous. Wltn the big demand
tnere Is in signt and the favorable outluuk
; tur continueu heavy consumption those who
aught to know say they uo not see how
.he maraei can beip but advance Very ma
terially. Ho tar as' the local trade situation la
concerned juboers have no cause fur com
plaint. Their saics (or the month so tar
are better than iney were a year ago and
with colder weather they look for a silll
heavier movement. The pleasunt weather,
though, makes out-of-oour possible, and In
that way brings quite a demand lor lines
that would otherwise not sell. Tatting every
thing Into consideration, both jobbers and
retuilers seem to lie well aatialied with I lie
present situation,
Dry Goods tlulte Active.
Local dry goods Jobbers reported a better
house trade lur lam week than has been
experienced In the lust tinny uaya. Tney
attribute tnui to the targe numoer of buy
ers that were brought .u Omaha by toe
convention ot retailers. Orders both direct
uud through traveling salesmen were also
quite liberal, ao thai tne total volume ot
business waa large fur the time oi year.
Tne distribution extended to all depart
ments and goou bins ol winter specialties

mat, but they are cunilueni ot a good
brink uemaud throughout tne winter, no

i' Leather goods Jobbers are beginning to
. . fesl the need of colder and wetter weutlier.
"Ho far this season there has been so little
"i ruin and snow and the weather has been
ao warm that people have not teit tne
need of warmer moiwear and consequently
. the demand has hardly btn as bnK as
. desired, in spite of Uiut fact, though, very
1 tew uoinplaints are heard, as everyone
seems to teet conlldent that when tne
' proper conditions arrive that It will not

chants have learned apparently tu be pa

r weather lasts longer thun usual.
Hubber goode are selling lo some extent,
I but still tne demand Is of a limited cliar
!' uoter. The flurry ot business, though, tnal
1 lollowed the slight fall ot snow last week
a showed Jobbers what they may expeci
with the tlrst appearance of leal winter
.weather, so that they are not comuUluiag
much.
Kratt aad Prodaee.
There waa a brisk demand for fruits last
. ' week and that was particularly true the
lulter purt of the week, as inercliunis be-
gun buying for their Thanksgiving trade.
. An enurmous demand is expected this
week, but local stocks of all such lines as
.oranges, dates, tigs, tangerines, crajiixrrles
and all local fruits are iargu and conse
quently Jobbers do not expect any diffi
culty In filling all ordera promptly. Cali

CHICAGO, Nov. 19 Argentine advice
claiming that there wilt be a mammoth
crop In that country were partly responsible
fur a break of over 2c a bushel In wheat
prices today. Continued heavy movement
of the wheat crop In the northwest waa an
additional bearish factor. At tre rm De
cember wheat was down 2r, May WM off
4,'i2'e. December corn shows a pes of
IV. oats are oft c, and provision 2V-
t'nntlnued decline msrked dealings in the
wheat pit. At the opening tha market w as
Influenced by the IndlfTerent tone of cable,
foreign grain market being lower In tha
face of a fair advance here yesterday. An
other Influence that contributed even mot
to the Initial weakness wa a report from
Argentine stating that prevailing excellent
weather Insured a bumir crop of wheat.
In this connection the fact was pointed out
that there waa no diminution shown In the
in the nnrihwest. re-
I celpta today being much larger than for
the corresponding dav last week. Seeing
I waa general at the start and opening prices
were at a lose. Decemlier being down Nc at
1 l:ty May ws off rns t fcVc at
j ll.1ol.ll4. Honeee with northwestern
connections were prominent among the 11-
rr. i rie oecnne orougni nui imhht-i
loss orders. Just before the close December
sold st ll.onVi. a fall of 2V from last night s
cloning figure. Msy went down to $1.0.
Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to
3H.1SI bushels. Primary receipts were 1.178,-
bu., compared with 1.369. iO) bu. a year
ago. Minneapolis. Puluth and Chicago re
ported receipts of m care, against 602 cars
last week and 910 cars a r ir ago.
The feature of trading In corn wag heavy
liquidation of December, resulting In a
sharp dentine In the price of that delivery.
Weakness of wheat had much Influence In
bringing out the lulling ordera, but pros
pects of greatly Increased local receipts
were a factor of equal Importance. Lower
cables end good weather sided with the
bears. December oened Vi'aHe lower at
4!iH,f(4V. sold off to 4Xc ar
no cim
used at th
bottom. May ranged between 46'ti4514o and
46V, and closed at the low point. Local
receipts were 61 cars, with I of contract
gradp.
A remarkably steady tone prevailed In
the oats market considering the weakness
of other gralnai Commission houses and
cah houses were fair bidders, but cfTer
Ings were very light. December opened un
changed at yt7r. sold off to 2XV and clced
at the low point. After ranging between
31c and Sl'wiUlV. May closed at 31o. Local
receipts were K cars.
Provlslrma were affected by the plump In
wheat and corn, an easier tone being man.

I.ard and ribs were each lower at 17.00

CLOSING IS IRREGULAR AND LOWER
Large Enaagemeats of Gold for Ship
meat Abroad Ttgktcaa the Moaer
Market aad Caases Dlapo
altloa to Sell.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19 Today's stock
market contested the reactionary tendency
which developed yesterday, b.'t prices
showed reluctance to advance. Thore was
a sprightly upward movement after the
appearance of the bank statement, but It
waa not held and the closing waa Irregu
lar ahd generally below the advance.
During the first hour many prominent
stocks went below last night level. The
bank statement seemed to reassure the
situation to some extent. The decline In
cash reported was larger than indicated
by the week's current movement, but the
loan contraction Increased the deposits and
the renerve requirement ae as to raise the
surplus slightly. Rut some misgiving over
the money outlook waa reflected In the late
renewal of pressure to sell. The bank
statement reflect this week'a outgo to
France only In part, owing to the average
system of computation. Today'a shipments
both to Paris and Cuba are not reflected
at all and go over to next week's state
ment. The bespeaking of all the gold bars
at the aaaay office for export to France
next week shows the unsatisfied require
ment from that source and the $.,5n.ooo
shipment arranged for next week to Culm
la also to be reckoned with. The loan con
traction was not unexpected, but only be
cause the effect of trust compnny opera
tions upon the loan accounts of the banks
is taken from abundant preoedent. It Is
evident that the week has made large
encroachment on the available supply of
loanable funds by reason of the active
speculation in the stock market as well na
for subscriptions to the $.TO,0uO,0o0 to the
Japanese loan nnd the purchase of $2o,00O,.
Ooo of Rock Islnnd bonds. The diminishing
supply of loanable funds gains effect on
speculative sentiment because of the treas
ury call for $10,(100,000 of government de
poults by January 15 and the $15,000,000 to
be withdrawn by March 15. The closing
tone was Irret-ular. Total aalea of bonds,
por value, $4,780,000.
Following was the range of sales and
prices on the stock exchange today:

CATTLE There were a few cuttlo re
ported tius mjri.ltig, out not eivugii w.th
whlcn tu make a teat ot tne nmiKct. rui'
the week receipts nave peon uurly .loerul,
there being a ga,n over tne ngui run nt
last weea amounting to auout ib.OtiO neau
and aa compared with the same week of
lust year tnere is an inciej ut about 10,
Ouu head.
There have not been many corn-fed aieera
In tne receipts thla week at thl.4 point and
most of those tuui have arrived have bee 1
of the warined-up and short-feu vailjty
and such kinds h.ive suffered a decline of
fully 1u((2dc as compared with the latter
pail of last week. The market, though,
lias been so uneven and tne aemand tor
them so limited that It is hard to tell Just
what such kinda are worth. Not enougn
of the better grade j have been offend to
moku a I mi nt t h. nil ual loll, our in view
'of the declines at otliui points It li prou-
ubly sate to quote even tne beite.- gruue
a little lower. Goou to choice cattle may
be quoted from Xo.90 to 86.4U, fair to good
$5.00 to $5.75 and the warmed-up ai.d short
fed varieties sold trom $3.75 tu Vt.'io.
The demand for weslurn range beef steers
has been In good shape ad tne week and
no parllculur change in prices hag taken
place. On some days the market was a
little stronger than other and of course
the better grades were in the greatest de
mand and showed the most strength. Even
the commoner kinds, however, are se.l.ng
right at steady pi Ices as compared w.tb a
week ago. Uood to choice grades may be
quoted I rum $4.00 to $1.85, fair to good 13.00
to $3.1M and common kinds lrom $.i.u9 down.
The cow market Is ulno much the same
aa it was a week ago. Price, If anyih.ng,
were a little i-tronger un.ll Friday, when
puckers became beunsh, claiming that the
market here was too high as compared
with other points, and they took off fully a
dime lrom the price of the better grades.
As compared wlih a week ugo there Is not
enough change In ruling prices to be
worthy of mention. Good to choice grades
of grass cow may be quoted from fc.W to
$3.2o, fulr to good $2.25 to $2.;5 and cunncrs
and cutters from $1.50 to $2.25. A few
corn feds are beginning to show up In the
receipts, but unless very choice are sell
ing little or no better than desirable
grosser.
The demand for stockers and feeders has
been fairly good ail the week and price
are, if anything, a little stronger than they
were a week ago, where the quality is sat
isfactory. The common kinds, however, are
only about steady. Uood to choice grade
may be quoted from $3.50 to $4.(0. fair to
food $3.25 to $3.50 and the commoner kinds
rora $3.15, down. Representative sales:

HOGS The hog market continued its
downward course this morning and tho de
cline here amounted to 2H5;'5c. Trading
was fairly active, as salesmen saw no op
portunity of preventing the decline, but
several train were late in arriving, which
delayed the market to quite an extent
The bulk of the hogs sold ut $4.624.65,
with the choicer loads largely at $4.67H
and a top at $4.70. All the early arrivals
sold in good season, but when the late
trains arrived the more urgent orders had
been filled and some of the buyers were
rather bearish, a few of the late sales belna
down to $4.00.
For the week receipts have been about
7,0110 heud In excess of last week, but about
2.000 head less than fur the same week
of last year. The tendency of prices at all
points has been decidedly downward and
a net loss of 15lQ2oc Is noted. Representa

SHEEP There were several cars of sheeD
reported this morning, hut they were feed
ers, and no quotable Chung a in the mar
ket took pluce. For the week receipts show
an Increase over last week of about 5.1M0
head, but a decrease a rompared with tha
same week of lust year amounting to about
20,000 head.
The ma 1 ket on fat sheep and lambs has
not changed much this week and as com
pared Willi the close of hint week Can best
be descrllH'd by culling it steady to a dime
lower. The weakness has been principally
on ewes, as wethers, yearlings and lamb
have changed hunds freely all the week
at just a In nit steady prices. Common grass,
ers and warmed-up corn-feds have of
course been neglected to some extent and
In some cases may have been hard to sell
at steady prices. A few native sheep and
lumbs are arriving which command quite
a premium, but fed western and the bet
ter grade of grasser ar sslllng In very
m'K'Fi the same notches
The demand for feeders bag beea fully
equal lo the supply all tha week and each
day s offerings have been well cared for.
The market for the week can safely be
quoted steady to strong and active.

WHEAT Today market for wheat snflT
corn were on the toboggan sibie and ther
was not re-ovcry In the clewing hour.
N heat was especially weak and the mana
tier In which the bears pounded and
charged, and charged again, took all th
lamina from the bulls and left theni
rupable of making only feeble response
It was a case of receipts bearing heavily
on the market. At all points the reelptg
were liberal, advice were favoratile to tha
bears and the pressure was such that tha
bulls could not resist It. Prici s on ral
grain sustained even a more severe de
cline than did future delivery prices. Tha
fine weather Is having the effect of keep
ing the receipts large at all primary point
and the street Is growing dally mora)
keptlcal of the short crop bugaboo. More
over, Europe is getting lots of wheat ami
will probaoly want bss American grain,
than for some time past. Tne put price
was reached very early In the day and,
buyers of puts Friday wet the chief buy
ers, although It was reported that Valen
tine, Armour's floor representative, waa
acquiring considerable wheat to till horig
put out during the earlier day of the
week. Then, loo, there waa considerable
taking of profits by short sclict and
stop-loss selling by long.

that the car lot receipts of wheat In t-'hlj
cago during the month of December would
a vi rage over 800 cars daily and that the
total arrivals would reach iO.IHKi.ouO busbejs.

11 1" and broke to $1 OM. or 2Sc, wltH
no recovery; May, l.llWl.OH, a 30 loss.

heavy and over 7oo cars are promised for
Monday. The quality Is betler than might
be expected and the arrivals for the last
four aaya have exceeded the hlpinnts by
over 9O0.00U buslieis. From every point
comes the story of fine corn and lot of it.

pleasure of witnessing a good break. De
