OUTLOOK FOR THE WHEAT CROP
Omnlia Grain Men Aarrc that the
Prospect la Bright, Har the
lleaaian Fir
All Omaha grain men agree tho promise
for a bumper wheat crop In Nebraska is
splendid If there Is no Hessian fly con
cealed In It. If there Is fly, the difference
of opinion Is great, running from the view
that the state will not produce more than
one-fourth crop to tho supposition that
the fly has never done much to a crop
which was nt all good In the first place.
"From my own observation," said Nathan
Merrlam, "and from the reports I have
received personally the Nebraska crop pros
peel rectus to be very good Indeed. The
condition so far as one cuu now Judge Is
all that could be wished. It Is yet too
early to tell what the Hessian fly may do
and I cannot say what danger there is from
It Tho frosts of a week ago I hardy think
wero heavy enough to have killed the fly.
I hear a report this morning from a man
In Shelby, who is said to uu an expert, and
he says the fly will be very bud and dis
tributed wiuVly over the state. He goes
so far as to say the stato will not raise
more than a fourth crop."
A good many men in the grain business
are Inclined, so they say, to look on the
Hessian fly as more, of a bear than an
Insect. They are Inclined to consider the
danger to which the Nebraska crop is ex
posed as one of those through which the
bears require every crop to pass for the
purposes of affecting the speculative mar
ket. It Is pointed out that where the
Hessian fly might be a very serious matter,
with a spotted and poorly germlmited crop,
with the present prospect the weakening
ravag's of the insert will be very much
offset.
CONDITION OFOMAHA'STRADE
Immediate Business cf Jobbers Not So
Active as of Late.
RETAILERS EXPECT GOOD EASTER TRADE
Wholesalers Report Prlrea on Moat
Staple Lines n Heine About the
Name aa They Were a
Week Abo.
Immediate business with wholesalers was
not as active last week as It has been for
some time nn."t. but that was to be ex
pected. as the hulk of spring business has
now been transacted so far as wholesalers
are concerned. For the time of year, how
ever, the movement of goods was very
satisfactory and taking the spring trado
as a whole Jobbers in all lines agree that
this lias heen the most successful season
ever experienced in this section of the
country. iot only that, nut tney are men
Ins forward with a aood deal of confident'
to a nice advance huslne.e In fall good?
and their traveling men have so far met
with much encouragement nnd everything
points to their being able to book more
orders this veer than last
Spring business with retailers out through
the country mav he said to be lust ei
ting under way. What Is needed more
than anything else is a fw warm dav.
but still retailers as a rule are not doing
any complaining and report their trade so
rar tins season ns being quite satisraciory
ir warm, pleasant weather snouid te ex
tierienced this week the demand would un
doubtedly be enormous, as Easter Is only
two weeks away. In the larger towns the
retail trade baa been better than In the
smal er nlaces. as Deonle have shown a dts
position to buv their Easter goods earber
than usual. The general lmpresion seems1
to ne mat unless verv unfavorable weainer
Is experienced the Easter trade this year
win break all previous records.
There have been eomnaratlvelr few
changes In prices ruling on staple lines
bandied by Omaha Jobbers' during the
week under review. Orocerles have fluc
tuated to some extent, but aside from that
class of enods most lines are In about
tne same position they wero a wecK ago,
Another Advance In Sog-ar,
Several weeks ago attention waa called
through these columns to the fact that all
Indications were favorable for higher price
on sugar ana tnat in all probability there
wouiu no several advances In tho near
future. So far the prediction has proved
correct, as an advance was reDOrted
week ago and since that time another
advance amounting to 1ft points has taken
effect. Ihe market is very firm at the
advance and still higher prices are being
luoKca ror oy wen informed buyers. The
consumption in ranidlv increasing and that
will continue for some tune, b.rawbenes
are already selling at prices within the
reacn or people In moderate circumstances
and In a short time will be much cheaper,
which means a big increase in the demand
ior sugar for that one purpose.
The canned goods trade is also verv
satisfactory, with a good number of orders
for the higher grades of goods. These or
ders would Indicate that the demand for
canned goods In the country has Improved.
Eastern holders have so far been unable
to arouse much interest in tomatoes al
though the market has been very strong

The city treasurer's and city comptroller's
oltlces do not like the change In tne char
ter which makes the dclinuuent penalty on
taxes It) per cent per annum Instead of 12
per cent. The rate Is thus reduced to tlve
slxth of 1 per cent a month Instead of tne
Pat I per cent. Thereby considerably more
work in computing Is demanded, and tiili.
Is not liked. The change was made in
order to have the Interest penalty conform
to the general revenue luw. In view nf
the merger of the county and city taxing
and treasury departments.
Funeral of H. T. Jumrljn.
Funeral services over the body of Simeon
T Jnssclvn. who died suddenly last Tues.

draw from the market because of exhausted
stocks.
A general tendencv tn nrivanc thA nrtce
of sardines Is noticed, some packers having
marked prices up as much a.t 37ic per
noove inn icw point, it is reported
that prices have been named on future
red Alaska salmon, but so far as learned
rew transactions nave taken place.
The dried fruit market Is without mo
terial change. Supplies of many varieties
are limited, while the demand is quite
no i vr
The rice market Is also in much the same
position it was a veek ago. The demand
seems to be only fair and no verv hen w
consumptive trade Is expected until the
' WB" cieanea up on old potatoes.
I he demand for tish is niil verv heavy
and as stocks out through the country are
not large a brisk trade is expected for
the next two weeks. Prices are firm all
along the line, but no important changes
utivr taseti place.
Other staple lines handled bv local whole
sale grocers are selling In practically the
same notches they were a week ago. The
volume bf business is reported being verv
sHusiaciory ana Better than It was a year
aj;o.
Cotton Goods Very Strong;.
The cotton goods market Is In a very
strong position and the general tendency
Is to udvatice prices a trifle. While there
have been no very startling changes, still
some of the leading mills have advanced
their lines a trifle, which shows that the
market Is In a strong position and that
higher prices mny reasonably be expected.
The market on woolen goods Is also very
strong, the same as it has been for some
time past. So far as can be seen at the
present time, the market will remain very
firm, with the tendency of prices upward
for several months to conic. In other
words, the market on both cotton and
woolen goods la In a good healthy condi
tion and both retailers and wholesalers
seem to feel safe n carrying liberal stocks.
Immediate business with local dry goods
Jobbers showed quite a falling off last
week as compared with tho preceding sev
eral weeks, but that was expected and
consequently no complaints are heard. The
spring trade has been a record breaker in
volume and In the quality of the goods
sold, the demand being greater for the
higher priced goods than ever before.
in speaklnir of the trade on dress goods,
a wholesaler said that cotton voiles in wash
fabrics have proven to be very popular,
as was predicted early in the season. They
are made In imitation of fine French ma
terials and resemble them closely and will
undoubtedly be strong sellers throughout
the warm months. Later In the season, if
the weather becomes very warm, there
will be a brisk demand for thin sheer
printed fabrics. Shirt waist suits, In which
ttie waist and skirt are made of the same
material, have come to stay for some time.
as they are not only praotlcul, but com-
rortaoie. ana tne women line mem. tJhirt
wuist suits in wash fabrics are made of
almost' every description of light weight
mercerized white goods, us well as of
colored fabrics Shirt waist suiting linens
and cotton imitation linens In white are
also very good. Another very popular line
for shirt waist suits is mohairs of every
description. Jobbing stocks of these lines
are very much depleted and while manu
facturers have been working overtime to
trv and supply the demand they have so
far been unsuccessful In their efforts to
turn out the goods ns rapidly as they are
wanted. Present Indications are that mo
hairs will also be very popular for the fall
trade.
Hardware Active and I'arhtncrd,
The demand for staple and seasonable
lines of hardware was again very brisk
last week and Jobbers say there seems
to be no end to the demand. They are
still working their men overtime to keep
up with their orders. The same as has
been the case all the spring, the distribu
tion extends to all seasonable and staple
lines, there being no particular feature to
the trade, except tne enormous volume.
The percentage of Increase over last year
or of any former year, they say. Is start
ling and their ability to sell goods sems to
be limited only by tneir ability to secure
goods. As tho demand in practically all
sections of the country stems to be very
large, manufacturers are getting farther
and farther behind with their orders every
day.
With the consumption uf leading lines of
hardware running ahead or the production,
a strong market would naturally be ex
pected and that is what Is being experi
enced. Since last report, though, there
have been no changes worth mentioning,
but higher prices on a number of lines are
confidently expected by those who are In
n position to know, and they are liable to
take effect at any time. I'nder present
conditions. Jobbers say that hardware at
present prices locks like a safe Investment.
Leather Goods None Too Active.
Tips is rather a between sen son period
with leather goods Jobbers, as the spring
trade with them Is practically at an end
and retailers have not sold enough of
their stock to I back for more. As a
result business Is Just now a little quiet,
hut that is always the case ut this time
of year. Future business Is starting out
fairly well, but the traveling salesmen
have baldly been on the road long enough
to thoroughly tebt the situation. As soon
as retail trade opens up a. little better in
the country, which it will as soon as
warmer weather arrives, inerchuiits will
undoubtedly tie more dU posed to anticipate
their future requliementa than they are
at the present time and then salesmen will
be better able to tell what their chances
aro of doing a good advance biistnss. At
the present time, however, there seems to
be no reason why they should not meet
with fully as good ton cess us they did u
year u:o.
Then- is nothing new In the rubber good
cltinilloii. wry little business being trans
uctd ut tills time.

CHICAOO. April S Decreased demand

waa quiet and the voiume of business was
very small. The dullness waa due largely
to uncertainty regarding the government
