THE OMAHA DA.1LY BEE , SUNDAY , jjEOEMBEU 0 , 1801-SIXTEEN PAGES. 11 THE CONDITION OF TRADE , Tbo.WLokaUo Trade of Omaha Continues Molt Satisfactory. LOCAL COLLECTIONS NOT VERY GOOD. Iho movement or Grain Interfered \Vltli to 801113 Kxtcnt by tlio Scarcity ol1 Cnr * for The condition of the Jobbing trade ol Omaha continues to bo very satisfactory nnd the volume of goods moving Is large , In some lines amounting to n positive rush. While this Is in the main duo to the improved con < dltlons prevailing In the country , asa rcsultol abundant crops , thcro Is also another Impor taut factor to bo taken Into consideration. During the dull times In Nebraska last year consequent upon the less of crops Omaha Jobbers pushed out Into now territory and opened up fresh fields for trade This year the Jobtora are reaping the frulti of this extent Ion 6f territory. The success of their efforts will naturally encourage then to still L'roa tor exertions another year one additional territory will bo conquered by thcli enterprise. The Jobbing trade of Omaha 1 : growing ; It Is already largo , but at the sarai time It is small to what It will be In a fen .Tears , if the present rate of growth is main tained. The Improved conditions prevailing In the west are being felt oven In Now York. The Bulletin in that city remarks that the local markets begin tc how very distinct symptoms of the reviving effect of the large crops on the trade of tnc Interior. Following tbo check upon the dc < inand for certain kinds of merchandise aris ing from protracted mild weather , there Is n marked Increase of buying nnd n conseijucnt stiffening of prices. Sellers hnvo no longer nny need to..bolslcr up the markets by confi dent tnlk which hardly agrees with too well known facts ; for the buyers themselves have become too Jubilant over the prospect to con ceal tholr assurance of n good season's trade , nnn they nro buying accordingly. From this duto forward , it will bo safe to calculate upon n prosperous winter's business. The same Journal In commenting upon the general outlook remarks that It has long been apparent that Knrono would find some aiftlculty In sparing from Its banking reserves the great sums required for thu purchase ot brcadst'jffs this year. But the banking re serves nro not the only reliance for such nn emergency. From private hoards enormous sums can bo drawn In Franco or Ucrmuny at almost nny time , as has been often proved by subscriptions to popular loans. The millions who will require bread .to eat will havoto pay tholr money lor It , nnd to some extent \vlll hnvo to tulio that money fcom their pre vious savings. It docs not necessarily follow , therefore , as some have argued , that the severe pressure In foreign money markets occasioned by balances due this country will force holders to part with great nmonnts of American securities. It may happen that such n prcmiro will come , but os yet no Very positive indications support that expectation. Considerable gold has been sent to this country already , und yet the foreign money markets are less stringent , nnd seam loss II Holy to become stringent , than a month or two ago. It Is also to bo considered that the demand for American Bceurttios is Just now peculiarly favored in foreign countries by tbo largo crops hero. The great American crops give business to the railroads , swell their earnings , nnd afford n fair protniso of Im provement in their dividends , and nat urally in the mnrkotprlcesof their stocks and bonds. On the other hand , the apprehension of war is certainly very general , nn It affects all classes , from the financiers , bankers nnd Investors , to the working people who migrate in largo numbers , giving as ono reason their desire to escape military service next year The fueling naturally grows In Eurouo that the securities of almost any European nation nro liable to bo severely depressed on thoout- break of war. The very sumo causa would certainly increase the business of American railroads , but It Is Impojslblo to foroast how far foreltrn holders would bo compelled to send back American securities. The rotnll Undo of Omatm Is still dragging In some lines while there has been a decided Improvement In others. Local collections nro not peed nnd not likely to bo until every branch of business shows a marked Improve ment , and until nil Idle workmen nro given employment. The Improvement In the "man ufacturing Industries has clvon wortt to a coed many men already nnd , If It keeps up , must before long cause a change for the bet ter In the rctnll trado. The local grain market tins not been as octlvo ns could bo desired on account of the dlfllculty of obtaining cars for tbo ship ment of grain. The dealers have all been buyers , out bavo hesitated about soil ing , as there ib no certainty' their being nblo to pot cars to deliver grain within tbo cpectlled time. At the sauio tltno the trans actions have boon qulto largo for a now mnr- Itot and perhaps as lar&o as could bo expected oven under more favorable conditions. The grain men of the city are very much encour aged over the outlook for securing more fav orable rates from thu railroads , and In case their hopes nro realized this market will rrmko big strides forward. The local producQ markets have boon rather quiet for some days. Tbo holiday last week brought In n glut of poultry which Is only just cleared up. Prices on other kinds of produce hnvo been about steady , but the demand has not boon heavy , % OJTI//I ru STUCK OMAHA. Doe. 5.

There was a quiet business In whcntmostof thediy , butnnithcr firm tone prevailed , prices avuriiRlng above yesterday's close , Ilotli sides were able to draw some consolation from thu naws In cir culation , and this fact helped to keep the market fairly steady. One of the bulllih points was an article In a morning paper rnvlowlnj the condition of win ter wheat. It was said to have been Injured by dtoiith In November inr.l further damaged by the Into rains , followed by freezing weather. The movement In the northwest was moderate and owing to tlio Kovoro storms provalllnr. a contlntunco of mall deliveries for thu time being Is looked for. Tlio liberal e'.eurancLM from both coasts for the week were also regarded us rather a strong factor , as they amounted to O.Oj-.OOO bushels .1 largo u.\eoss over thu amount sunt out the wcok previous. Un the other hand the llguro.s In regard to stocks were unmis takably bearish , llradstreet'.s tcpnrtcd an Increase In the available stocks In thu United States and Canada ( hiring November of ll.UCO.OOJ bit , nnd 17.lXM.iioo Im. more than u year ago , The world's available supply showed an In crease of 2.1 , OO.U..O bu. during November. Tim bears made the most of these figures , which undoubtedly kept tbo market from advancement , ns the local sentiment Hcc'iicd Inclined to bullishness and , while cables reported dullness and weak ness abroad , domestic markets showed considerable strength. 1'nrdrldge covered a good dual of wheat around Die , and llrosseau was nlso a good buyer , presumably to cover shorts. Most of the private wire bouses , and the crowd generally , seumeil disposed to buy and the selling was rather meager and cautions , May wheat opened at. IM's.

' c. closing firm at 07ie. against l)7e at thu close yesterday. Hhorts covered freely on the In creasing stiength nnd there was some good Investment , buying. Corn was Inclined to weakness. The clique which .sold a good deal of December corn on yesterday's bulge delivered a food deal of It and this made the market , weak today , as the parties who received It did not want It and put It on thu market. The clique. , s showing a disposition to milk the trade : they sefim dis posed , for the present , to sell mi the bulges and deliver the corn , break prices and then cover nt ti pioflt. If , as It Is claimed , they contemplate n deal , they do not want the ndvan-io to st-irt now as It would necessitate the buying of the current receipts for some weeks at high prices. They prefer to keep prices about on a shipping basis for some time yet and lot tbo bulge come , It It comes ut nil , near the close of the month. The lecelpts of contract corn were light , only fifteen cars out of 441 cars In all. This ought to have proved a bull factor , but Old not.
