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 , %

ot buyers wanted H few , and as the total sup
ply was eonllncd to about 3. < 00 head It did not
taUo salesmen long to unload. In values thcro
wus no appreciable change. They were firmly
supported , pot only for good shipping
sorts which were scarce , but for butchers' and
( limners' stouk as wo'l. Cow.s.liolfers and bulls
aronuoteil at from Jl. 00 to * ' .00 according to
quality and droviod beef und shipping steers
at from $3,00 to $0.2.1. To command more than
Jli.Ut ) the ( gunllty would have to bo
very superior. Mockers and feeders were
nuoted at from $1.7.1 to C-3..V. ) and veal
calves nt from $2.CO to f.ri,50. At the Deglnnlng
of the weeK prices showed a , tendency to go
up and did go up , advancing from Illo to l.5u
during Monday und Tuesday , before the
close of Thursday's market tliat advance
was all lost but on Kriday v.ilucs again
strengthened , tlio week tlnally eloslng with
values u trlllu hlhor than they were u week

Considering the low prices lit whloh poultry

CIIICAOO , III. . Dee. 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. Im
proved slowly to U7 ! > o. eased off a fractionbut
during the In.st hour , in tlio face of easier lute
cables , grew strong again , ndvanuln : to li ? ' 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. December

wheat to 47 ? e. weakened to 47' e , advanced to

changed to a shade higher.
Hog piodnets opened higher on the smaller
receipts of live nogs only 18.0.HI head and an
advance of lOc ut the yards , lint the udvunro
developed fren selling and tlio gain was lo t.
A slight rally followed when corn advanced.

wheat shipments Monduy nro expected to
show a deeroase of 4,101,0,0 bu. und a large
decrease. Is also looked for In the amount on

thought Dodge's report , duo on Thursday ,

In many localities than anticipated. Export
clearances from Now York for tbo weefc of

thu strength. C.iblcs were lower. Kng-
ish farmers' deliveries show , on an
avetago. a decline of about 3d.
Free deliveries of cash corn on year contracts
weakened the price. The small receipts und
proportion ot contract ( about forty-six curs )
und light estimates for Monday ho ped
toward a rally. The best tiiiurca showed the
early loss anent recovered. Outsiders are
looKlng for a December manipulation. There
are , however , no reliable- signs of any. Pro-
vis ( ins have been dull , the light receipts of
hogs having a less bull elTeet than WHS ex
pected. The opening was fractionally higher
than yesterday's clue , but with Hunt trade
and free offerings by packers the advance wus
more than lost. The muiket closed heavy ,

spite the dullness of this morning's market
the tone was very llrm .iinonj ; the professional
element ; In fact , tlio stubborn resistance o
the granger stocks to all eirorts at weak
ness lias caused a noteworthy change In
sent inent. The simple faet Is that holders of
such stocks as these are not at all disposed to
let them co nt concessions , the belief belns
widespread thai chances favor the obtain
ing of much better prices by those
who keep their stocks nun awnlt
developments. Tills feeling Is undoubtedly
.In.silfled by llnanciul conditions and is con
firmed by tlio well understood faca that tlio
really Import nt operators for lower prices
are either entirely out of the market or elsn
