THE CONDITION OF TRADE ,
A Week of Continued tmd Increasing Prosperity -
, perity at All Oonlora.
IT-HE RECENT PANIC ALMOST FORGOTTEN ,

The past week has been ono of continued
t ' \ Increasing prosperity nt most of the
fti-cat centers of trade. The business of the
country Is stcaully recovering from the shock
experienced during the last two months of
1800 nnd bids fair not o'nly to regain its
former position hut to surpass1 It. Wall
street , which In this matter maybe
bo said to reflect the fcollng
of the ivholo country , appears to
hnvo forgotten that It has just passed through
a panic. The banks have rapidly run up
their reserves to over ? 10,000,000 surplus ;
brokers can consequently borrow freely on
tlmo ; nnd , being thus enabled to carry stocks
tnoro safely nnd easily , their customers are
given frco rein for buying , to which the ex
ceptionally low prices nro a sufllclcnt Induce
ment. Tlio reinvestment of January Interest
nnd dividends has gone perhaps more freely
than usual into tlio purchase of stocks , nnd
y vfrco Influx of "outsiders" shows that
the disability to buy arlshiBfrom the crisis Is
much loss general than has been supposed.
The apparently successful formation of the
\Vcstorn Hallway association has raised nn
expectation of Improved earnings In a largo ,
nnd Important territory , which encouraged
buying In a wldo ranpoof railroad securities ,
Old operators are looking for an nctlvo "hull"
campaign which has already carried stocks
several points above the low wntor mark in
the early part of December. The pessimists
who , a month or two ago , wcro predicting
general llnanclnl disaster nro no longer heard
und with the return of conlldcnio nothing
seems to stand in the way of a prolonged sea-
jan of general prosperity.
1'ho money markets of the east are easier
Otid the hanks nro responding moro liberally
to the demands of customers , and money on
.111 Is plenty , Some complaint is still heard
of the dlfllculty of negotiating commercial
loans , \vhlch Is apparently duo to the desire
on the part of lenders to keep their surplus
cash .whore they can put thulr bands ou it
readily In cose of need. With the improved
conditions prevailing In the business and
financial world , this hindrance to trade must
gradually wear out.
To examine moro in detail some of the
most important branches of the wholesale
and jobbing trade may furnish a hotter idea
of the actual condition of business. At the
largo distributive points the grocery trade is
reported in quite satisfactory shape. Jan
uary bus upon the whole been a very fair
month thus far , with n great deal of very acceptable -
coptablo business still under way , and
operators In bulk lots nro ns a rule qulto dlsl
poscd to take a general cheerful and hopof u-
vlow of the situation.
In woolen goods there was considerable im
provement at Now York and a good many out
of town buyers were reported in last week.
The demand was good on most all lines of
woolen stuffs. In cotton goods the conditions
wcro not qulto so favorable to the sellers ,
Some f the prominent makes of blenched
.lxt * were quotal lower. Tucro was con-
crnblo Rolling , but the market appears to
overstocked.
The metal market has not been nil that
could bo desired. The output of pig iron has
boon small and the market ou bar iron was
unsettled , nnd plates weaker.
As to the trade In Omaha and surround
ing territory thcro Is not much
in the way of news to odor
The conditions are very much as was antici
pated the llrst of the month and about the
same as detailed last week. Wholesalers are
Inclined to go slow nnd to give the retail
trade of the state an opportunity to clear
up stocks before loading up again ,
Collections continue poor and no immediate
improvement Is looked for. Tbo Inability of
farmers to meet their store accounts in many
localities , on account of the failure of crops ,
Is cramping a good many country merchants.
But this was to be expected nnd is creating
no surprise among the trado. As a rule job
bers do not look for a very heavy business dur
ing tbo next few weeks. The banks report
nioooy casior , but It is none too plenty for
commercial purposes and a still further im
provement in thU direction could not help
but bo of a great bcnollt to nil classes of busi
ness men. Under the existing conditions tbo
trftdo of Omaha is as good as could well be
expected ,

CiiKUOO , Jan. 17-tSiieelal Telegram to THE
IlEE.1 Tlio markets on 'change opened with
considerable activity nnd Avlth firmness nnd
better prlcci In cereals and a heaviness an I
lower prices for provisions. At tlio end of the
first hour all the pits wcro more qulit ,
tTno fact that llloom took a plunge In wheaten
on the bull sldo Into yesterday did not tirponr
to glvo the market much buoyancy today ,
Thcro was a firmer fooling on the curb nnd
tlio opening was a trine higher than the close
mill the prleo during early tiadlt > g was put
Mo over the eloso yesterday. This repre
sented the Improvement for the day. The
hour before the close thu prlco of May was at
the extreme low prlco ot yesterday , at K > o.
This promised to bo the extent of the break ,
There was nothing In the news to ulvo
the market backbone. Cables were In
different. Exports tihuwod a great falling
off for tlio week. Liberal receipts In
the northwest continue. Instead of blizzards
for the bare wheat fields , the Indications were
for moro general snows. Now York cleared
74,000 bushels of wheat and some Hour. That
point also reported some fifteen boatloads
of fresh export business , and llultlmoro six
boat loads. The visible supply Is cxpcutcd to
show a decrease of perhaps 500,000 bushels.
This sort of bull news was not felt. Exports
ot wheat and flour from both coasts for the
week wcro 1,104.000bushels , against 2,070,000
bushels last week and 1,751,000 bushuls a year
ago. As tlio llloom buying was the feature
yesterday , so llloom selling was the feature
today. The bears went gunning for him
early und got EOIUO of his wheat
mound OJBC. about what ho mid for It.

It started down to DTK ! again llloom lot nearly

Monday's receipts here , was 83 cars. The

closed with a fair recovery , much the same us
on Friday. During the last half hour May
sold up to 0'yjo and closed at OJ c , or loss than
Jo lower for the day , January was quoted at
fcOJio , elf to S Jfc , nnd closed nt 81)jc ) ! July at
OlotoODUo toOOJJcatthecloso.
The prlco of May corn was put down to 51c
at 0110 tlmo today , on the weakness la wheat ,
liberal leoolpts andhir/oestlmato for Monday
rocolpti. There was no help from cables , no
help from cash corn , no help from shipments ,
which were light , aud no help from the
weather. The local trade acted moro tlroil
than ever and there was pretty free solllns of
long corn at times. The action for Mnv , up to
