Omaha Wholesale Market- OFFICE OF TUB OMAHA BKE , ) Thursday Evening , December 29. f The weather to-day braced up a little , and a good stiff breeze has been booming down from the B real regions. Business in general continues active , and the streets and highways are becoming worn down to a passable condition. The country people begin to come in and do their trading and sell their products. Colder weather would help us out a little. It would revive the coal trade , make a de mand tor overshoes , enahlt ) clothiers to sell an extra overcoat , .send more hogs to mar ket and stimulate the packing business. The markets are in statu quo at to prices , but steady and flush. There are no changes worthy of note since yesterday , except in the climate. The building boom keeps n > ht on , rain or shine , sink or swim. Where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. Quite.a number of our heavy jobbing firms are moving into more capacious quarters and preparing to branch out with the New Year. --3 ' ( - - < | tj , A It 'iu now a'V od time to purchase dressed poultry.

The egg crop is a partial failure so far this winter , and since the beginning of the holidays the hens have gone entirely out of business. They will require considera ble coixtng before they will resume opera tions , Local Grain Dealing * . WHEAT. Cosh No. 2 , 1 084 ; cash No. 3 , 95c : rejected GGJc.
