' . Unsfl.isonahle weather Is always a detri
ment to trade , lot It cotno when It will. In
the winter months trndo always suiters If
the weather la warm anil springlike , while It
Is equally true that a cold ami disagreeable
sprint ? I" far froln hehiK a help to business.
The present season turned wurm early and
there was every promise of an early spring ,
but the continuance of cold and wet weather
has failed to stimulate a demand for spring
fronds and has kept people indoors , thus tend
ing to diminish the volume of the retail
trade , This Is the season when the retailers
are supposed to bo busy , but so far this
spring they hnvo not Imd any reason for
being especially srlf-satisllfd. In the coun
try the fanners have been at work In the
fields when the weather was suitable , and
when it was not lit to work It was too bad to
VHituro Into town. In some sections of the
state business has hern depressed by the ap
prehension occasioned by n luck of suflk'lcnt
rainfall In Omaha the rotaII trade lias suf
It-rod from the disagreeable weather , which
has made It unpleasant for buyers to be on
the streets , and the trade lias been limited
very large ! } to the purchase of necessities.
Taking everj tiling Into consideration , tbe
jobbing business is fair atid fully us good as
couhl bo expected. The Jobbers would like
to see a jnoro artlvo demand for goods , but
they am getting about all the business that
they looked for.
Nebraska dram Trade.
There Is very llttlo corn , or , for that mat
ter , grain of any kind moving In this state.
Farmers are busy with their work and have
no time to carry the balance of their last
year's crop to market. Besides , the farmers
nro never anxious to part with the last of
their surplus until they feel that they are
pretty sure of celling enough oul of Ihe new
crop lo carry Ihem ihroiigh ' .ho coming year.
Grain men clai.n that tliero Is moro corn
left in Nebraska than ever before at tills
season of the year. It is estimated by these
men that 40 per cent of last year's corn crop
Is sllll In Hie hands of farmers and that
there are fully H.noo.OOO bushels of cribbed
and shelled corn in the hands of dealers
The amount of wheat in the hands of
dealers Is said not to no very large , but the
farmers are still holding a peed deal. The
quantity of oats both in the hands of dealers
und farmers is smaller than last year at this
time.
It Is claimed that the season is fully four
weeks ahead of last year so far as the plowIng -
Ing and planting of corn is concerned. As
to acreage a gain is claimed in both corn
nnd oats. The winter wheat acreage was
nlso qulto a good deal larger than last year ,
but a considerable proportion in the south
eastern p.irt of the state has been plowed up
nnd put Into corn. Everything would also
seem to point to an increased acreage of
spring wheat. So far there has been no
damage to speak of to corn , as tliero has
been very llttlo of it put In the ground until
during the past few days.
The Hunk Clearing * .
The bank clearings during the past week
have shown a creditable gain over the cor
responding week last year and at the same
tlmo there has been tin in-re.iso as compared
with the past two months. The hank clearIngs -
Ings as will be noticed below were the hc.ivl-
est for any week since the middle of March.
This would seem to Indicate that business in
Omaha Is not only better than it was a month
ago out ahead of last year as well.
The following will show the clearings for
each day of the past week , together with the
totals for previous weeks :

Mr. W. II. Hoberson , reviewing trade for
the week , suggests the following Ideas : 3
"Tho Wall street Hurry , or panlo as some
call It , appears to bo at an end
and the great speculative cyclone
will retire from business for a tlmo ,
Pcoplo In this country have got beyoml
the point when trouble on Wall street means
trouble everywhere else. The nation Is toe
largo to bo affected by bankruptcy nmotifi
speculators in stocks. The only effect ol
tlicso periodical disturbances out In tlu
west , hero is to make people cautious
'f ' Hankers and financiers generally are vcrj
[ Jl sensitive to changes In commercial weather ,
nnd when one money center is in straits
1' all others take the safe side , and
. for two reasons which are obvious. First
the storm may bo something more thai
local , nnd second , when the demand foi
money exceeds the supply in Now York ,
other centers cannot draw for any thing ujiot
the banks of the metropolis.
"Omaha banks for the most part repori
demand for loans moderate , and while noi
seeking borrowers , they nro not refusing
offers of worthy customers , Deposits this
week are , If anything , a llttlo off.
"Up to the close of ttio week wholesah
grocers show ix decided increase over a
year ago , with out-of-town collections falrlj
good. City collections are not so prompt.
"Thohantwarodoalcrs charge a slight fall
In ? off in trade , duo to the weather , whlcl
has Interfered with building epcrations.
"Traveling men for the hoot and slio ,
houses are in town and their season has no
yet aliened , whila the delayed spring Is dc
moralizing the hat trado. Other lines HP
enjoying fair trade , but complain a gooi
deal of slow collections ,
" 1'tio Manufacturers and Consumers nsso
elation Is very much encouraged over the in
terest manifested in the coining oxposltio
to open May ft ! . Kvery available foot o
siuica will bo taken and the exhibit of Nc
braska products of Nebraska factorle
promises to oxeced that of a year ago 1
variety and Interest as well as extent.
"Tho Commercial club Is not yet in runnln
order nnd some falling oft of Interest is note
on this account , but thn promoters of th
organization are proceeding with duo cautlo
nnd promso to start right when all thing
nro ready.

FACTORY FACTS.
Note * Concerning the Men Who Make tl
WlirvU ( lo llouml.
The manufacturers have practically fl
Ished the preliminary arrangements fi
their exposition , which opens on May 2
nnd all that now remains to be done is fi
the Individual exhibitors to place their e
hlblts , The space Is all taken In the Co
noun ! building and It will require close figu
lug nnd some crowding to accommodate tl
late comers.
I-jist year the managers of the cxposltli
had to convince exhibitors that an expo :
lion could oo made a success In this city ai
that it would bo of advantage to the man
fnctitrcrs to show themselves , Tills year
thorp has been no question on that score ,
but there has been a now obstacle that was
equally hard to overcome. The success of
the homo patronage movement hns In
creased the business of the manufacturers
to such r.n extent that many of them
feel that they can neither spare the
tlmo nor the machinery to make n creditable
showing of their work. It has required no
small amount of talk to Induce a good many
of the local manufacturers to malco n move.
It has been represented to these men thit
they are busy because the people have taken
an Interest In their work and that In order
to keep up the Interest It will bo necessary
to occasionally refresh the memory of the
people by bringing the manufacturing Indus
tries of the state to their attention. No
better way of accomplishing this end can bo
devised than by holding nn exposition , pro
vided It Is a good exositlon. | A poor exhibit
of any line of manufacture or of all lines to
gether would bo worse than no exhibit at till
because It would glvo the public a poor opin
ion of the slzo and Importance of Nebraska
manufactures nnd no one cares to patronize
an Institution that shows Itself to bo devoid
of enterprise or ambition.
While the exhibitors that have taken
space represent nearly all the Important
lines of manufacture In the state there are
some that have so far failed to make any ar
rangements for n representation , as. for ex
ample , the furniture factories , which are
doing a big business as a direct result of the
homo patronage movement. There will bo a
good many furniture dealers in from the
state and they cannot help but tiotlco the
absence of everything in their line , and their
opinion of Nebraska manufacturers will not
be improved by the omission.
I-ast year the most interesting exhibits ,
and those that received the most attention
from visitors , were the exhibits that not
only showed the manufactured articles , but
that also gave a practical demonstration of
the method of manufacture. People are al
ways interested In the operation ol machin
ery and will give close attention to It , oven
if only a part of the method of manufacture
Is shown.
The following Is n list of the manufac
turers who have been assigned space and

Orange culture in Louisiana is paining
ground and must soon bo considered in es
timates of supplies of that fruit. The New
Orleans "Sugar bowl" estimates the crop of
the lower Mississippi river section in that
state for the current year at 100.000 barrels.
The Louisiana orange is generally earlier
than that of Florida , and though not n good
shipper is an excellent fruit for near by con
sumption.
The crop of Florida oranges last year was
a largo one , reaching some : i,800,000 boxes ,
while that of California was over 1,000,000
boxes. The Florida crop ot the present sea
son , now nearly all marketed , will not reach
3,000,000 boxes , but that of California will
como up well toward 2,000,000 boxes , thus
making the Amer'can ' crop. Including that ol
Louisiana , nearly equal to that of last year.

Mr. Brown , representing the Earl Frul

claimed that the dealers there are more in

The unseasonable weather with which w

had a cheering effect on sales of orange :
says Branch's. When the sun shines It I
remembered that oranges are In market
and the trade Is fair. But so few and fa

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
There Was Quito a Booming Wheat Market
Yesterday.
BUYERS NUMEROUS AND SELLERS SCARCE
llcporli Concerning the Condition of Crnpi
at Homo and Abroad Were the Mnin
Cauip * of the Agltnteil
Advance ,
CHICAGO , 111. , May C. Tliero was a booming
wheat inurkut today , bordering almost upon
excitement several times. A fair speculative
business was transacted and the fouling de
veloped was st fount1 r and prices showed a
further advance , the close being 2c higher.
In corn the market was active most of the
Bcsilon , prlco changes covering from ? * o to
'ic range , closing with a slight gain. Oats
advanced from ? io to Vc and closed strong at
the outside prices. 1'ork closed G7llc higher ,
and lard and ribs 10c above yesterday's last
figures , with a moderate tradu only.
The wheat market opened with buyers by
the hundred and sellers scarce , with prices at
the moment of opening anywhcie from 7G > fc
to 70'io for July , compared with 7&jc ? at the
close of 1'rldny's session. Huports concerning
the condition of the crops hero und abroad mid
the advanced prices In England quoted In the
oarlv cablegrams wuro the main causes of the
imitated advance. Liverpool was quoted from
Idtol'id higher. Cargoes on passage were
stroiiit at from 3d to Od advance und cargoes
olT const were nih Iscd as being Btrong at from
3d to Od higher prices. The weather In Ilng-
liiml was called brilliant and that Is at present
considered unfavorable for the crops. It Is
acknowledged to bo Injurious for grass , oats
und barley , but the effect of brilliant weather
upon wheat Is not being dwelt upon In the
cubic news.
There was good buying by xomoof the prom
inent loral traders most or the day , though
occasional .spells of weakness nut In , cuu-ed
liy selling orders temporarily njccc.cdlti ! ! the
demand. Receipts In the northwest wcm
Mnullur , hut local receipts held up pietty well.
Thure wu.s u uood shipping hiislnc-s and this
was mnilo u feature of the d.'iy. Shorts cov
eted frculy.utpechillydtirlnx the last half of the
sc.sslon.amill looked us though there was .some
nmtho power under the market besides the
Inlliii'iices mentioned. The receipts at pri
mary markets wuro slightly smaller than the
preceding week , und thn exports larger , and It
l.s fair to expect that the vIMblo Mipp'y ' will
shown decrease. Receipts at Dnluth were -1
curs und at Minneapolis 151 cars , u total of 174
cars , against 3.V4 cars yesterday and 20'J cars
for the corresponding day u year ago. Local
receipts were 'J71 ! cars , of which 131 cars were
of contract grade.
The opening wis about ' { c higher for July
nml ' 'lier for September than the closing
figures for yesterday , then advanced Hie
moro for .Inly and 1'ic ' for September , cased
off slightly but again recovered and the clos
ing was about ITic higher for July and 'Jc
higher for Septcmbnr.
In corn the conditions were little changed ,
but there wus a chanitn of front among the
leading houses. The bullishness of the wheat
market , the cold weuther over the corn belt ,
the discouraging reports fiom planting , the
Hrm und higher cables the light receipts und
the strength In other markets contributed to
u strong opunlng. Receipts wuro small. 130
curs , and the woatlier : i llttlo Improved over
the west , but It Is still wet and cold in many
iilaoes. Kitlmntrs for Monday are placed at
15 cars. Initial trades were ut fiom Uc tote
to "ic advance , under a good demand sold up
a fraction more , wheat ruling much .stronger
ut the tlmo. M iv and July touched the high
point utonce. 44'c und 40'ic , while t-'oDtctn-
bcrsold at 40'o.
It was on this xort of u I ulglng market that
a half do/en nouses led by t'ongdon , Patti.n ,
llattlclt-l'Yazl'ir ' and Halclvs , undertook to
take the profits on a lurgo line of corn for
July. All months suffered alike. Tho.snlos
by the syndicate wore so general us to over
shadow nil ol-o and urices went down quickly.
The break the llrst hour wits 44c for Mav to
45'ic for July nnd to front 45 V1 to 4Cc for Sep
tember. There was a rally if 'ie from the
bottom prices an bout1 Inter. Hecelpts were
130 curs and for.Monday 115 estimated.
The market entirely recovered from the
early selling before the close and hist prices
were better thun on 1'rldity ut 44'io for Muy ;
453e ; sellers July and 40'ic for September.
There was a good trade In outs hut the vol
ume was not so IHITO us for several dnys p.ist.
An unsettled feelitu prevailed und prices ,
uftersturtlnz about thes.ima to front Uc to
' { c up. declined from ? c to ; c on runll/.lnj ; by
longs In sympathy with corn. Good buying on
the wcitk spots and the lute advance In wheat
and corn created strength und prices advanced
from "ic to ? iC , nnd the close was atronz ut the
outside figures for all months boyrind Mny , the
latter showing u net low for the day of ' 4C ,
while the other months were up from ! ( c to
? , c.
The volume of trading In pork WUB very
light. The opi'iilng yales exhibited an udvnnco
or 12'Je , but on sotnu Hulling by the local
crowd , the market declined Go nnd thun re
acted on uctlvu bidding , with stilus ut from & to
lOc. udvattco , at a time to O7'jc. Sontu offor-
Ing.s by a local operator forced the market
down : iOo , hut us soon us tlioy were withdrawn
It Improved l'2ic ! aim closed strong , 57 ! > c
liluhur than yesterday.
The offerings of lard wore quite limited , and
as a result trading was light. A Ilrin feeling
prevailed In .sympathy with pork , the inurkut
advancing lOc with vury slight reaction , and
closing with Unit gain over yostnday's final
figures.
There was u stendy fccllns In ribs cnrly , the
opening sales being around yesterday's clos
ing prices for Heutumbor to 2vc better. Offer
ings were scarce und with thu advance In pork
this market responded to the oxtentof lOc and
closed with thut advantage.
Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat ,

One of the most Important fetitttres of the
dny's mnrket was the break In butter , l-'or
some time dealers hstvc been nntlclpatlnu that
receipts would IncruaM1 nnd the market would
necessarily decllno rnpldly when thn time
cumc. I'or two of three days there hns bei n n
gain In the receipts and a weak feeling has
prevailed In the market , but dealers Have gen
erally boon holding on for steady prices until
the time when thu loud hecnmo too heavy to
carry , and n decline wns thu result. As there
Is every reason for niitlclpatlne u still further
gnln In receipts , no one thinks but that prices
will continue on the down grade for n tlmo
yet. Homo predict that the bulk of the coun
try butter will sell below 20c this week.
The egg inurkut holds about steu'ly and docs
not piosent any Interesting t attires.
1'oultry Is very slow sale and the market Is
weak. The receipts are largo for this snnson
and for the prices that are being asked. While
poultry Is belling at the present prices the de
mand will bo necessarily limited , "as It Is too
high yet to stimulate consumption.
Potatoes scum to ho moving olT nulto freely
nnd thn market Is firming up on cholco stock.
( iood Wisconsin potntos are being generally
held at 05c , In fact It Khurdly possible to lay
them down hero at a price that will admit of
heir being sold nt any IcftM money ,
The market was full of strawberries but a
arge proportion of the'stOck ' was water soaked
nnd of very poor quality. It wns hard work to
llnd good shipping slock , The rains In Ar
kansas have put the berries In very poor shape
for shipping.

NEW YOIIK , Mny G. After ono of the most
exciting weeks In the history of the Stock ex
change. Wall stteot today had a much-longed-
for breathing spell. The uh-.onon of failures ,
the reports that certain firms who succumbed
to thu recent shrlnkngo In prices will shortly
resume , nnd the favorable hank statement , nil
comblttLMl to teslore confidence nnd led ton
material recovery In prices. The movements
were by no mentis regular , but ( hero Is nothing
strange about this when It Is considered that
many firms nnd Individuals were disposed to
take ndvntitngo of thu rallies In the market to
place their affairs In nn easier position , hence
ovoiy tlmo n subMnntlnl recovery occurred tv
good many long stocks came oul and reactions
ensued.
Tliero wtis comparatively llttlo excitement ,
however , and the dealings were much above
the average , aggregating only 103,002 shares
for the two hours. A further reduction In
sterling exchange , which renders the likeli
hood of gold shipments still more remotetends
to Improve the feeling In the street.
The most Important factors , however , are
the continued absorption of stocks for the
London account nd the buying for home In
vestors who have put In an appearance on the
street for the first tlmo In n your or more. So
many stocks have been bought and paid for
during the last forty-eight hours that weak
houses have been able to place thoinsolvcs In
a comparatively easy condition. Of course
tliero may ho further forced liquidations next
weok. hut the. belief ohtnlns In usually well
informed quarters that thu crisis has been
passed.
The Industrial stocks showed the largest net
gains today. American Tobacco advanced 12
per cent ; Sugar , 23 percent : preferred , 5i ?
percent ; Cotton Oil preferred , 2 per cent ;
Chicago tins , 1 per cent ; Consolidated Oas , 2
per cent ; General T.lectrlc , 2a percent ; Cotd-
age preferred , 3 percent : National Linseed
Oil , 2'i pur cent , and I'lilted States Itubher , 5'i
percent. Among thu railways , Jersey Central ,
I'lttsbtirg Western preferredOiniiha , Kvun -
vllle .t Terre llanto and ( Ireat Northern pre
ferred advanced fiom 2 to 3 nolnts. Artlvo
stocks llle. St. Paul , Kock Island I'liluti ' 1'aclllc ,
Missouri 1'ncillc. Lake. Shore nnd Loulsvlllo > V
Nashville closed ' ( to l"j pur cent lower than
on I'rldny. The market closed llrm In tone.
The Post says : The linnnclal tempest of the
week having now spent if.- , energy , Ihe normal
forces of thn stock market began ( inlay to ope-
rnto again. There wns necessarily confusion
and Iriegnlarlty , hut the excitement was past
and trading settled down to something like Its
ordinary volume. . Hero und there , notably , ns
might bo supposed , In the Industrial stocks ,
the continued coveting of shorts pushed
prices In the end considerably above yester
day's closing lovel. Yet thesis were thu
exceptions. London was no longer a
heavy buyer. In ono or two quarters the
foreign houses sold. The fooling that conditions
are not yet materially changed nnd that Lon
don's permanent support Is of an exceedingly
doubtful character , hud Its due Ittllnonce. Thu
favorable elements In the day's nuws , the gain
In the bank reserve and the complete demor
alization of sterling rates probably helped the
market , but so much was discounted In yester
day's final furious advance and so wild and
basulcss were the stories then circulated to
help along thn rally that a downward move
ment rather than an upward reaction was In
many wnys In order. The closing , though at a
general Imorovement on yesterday , was qulot
and undemonstrative.

Cuttlo values have ruled -atlier uneven , hut
In the main there has I tvn substantial Im-
ptovement. compared vith the demotnll/ed
( ( million of the trndo lie hitter p'irt of the
ln > .l. nock In April. Tie general run of beef
stoer.s nro selling fp lOc to 20c better than at
that time , the advance of the early pnrt of
the week helm ; fairly well sustained Ihrough-
oul. No new features have been developi'd In
the tindp beyond a certain conservatism on
the pnrt of all classes of buyers on account of
tlm present stringency In tlio money market
This , however , Is generally conshloicd as
temuorary , In fact It has hardly been
noticed on account probably of the lather
limited supplies , lliiyers for the local dre.ssed
beef linusi" , nro still partial lo the light cattle ,
and when fat they lirliiK relatively conslder-
nbly more money than the heavier grades.
The latter unless fat have not been soiling as
satisfactorily as could bo wished on account of
the depressed condition of eastern and con
tinental markets.
Itecelpts today were only moderate for the
last dny of the week , 1,000 fiend lighter than n
week aeo. Whllo there was a fair sprlnklnj !
of really desirable beeves on sale , there
seemed to ho a larger than usual percentage
of Unlit , and half fat stock , attracted , no
doubt , by the comparatively strong prices
that class of Muff Is bringing. Conditions
were much the name ns on the previous
day , and prices were pretty generally
In the sumo notches , ( iood rlpu cattle ol
all Heights were sought after and competition
front both local houses nml outsiders wns sulll-
clently vigorous to sustain prices , while the
medium to fair to poor grades were neglected
nnd In many cases had to sell lower.
Good to cholco 1050 ; to UOO-lb. beeves
sold at from M.75 to $0.25 , while fair to
good steers weighing from 830 to 1,287 Ibs.
sold at from $4.4O to $1.70. There was nothing
of tiny coiibeiiuenco that had to sell nt under
$4 and sales of poor to fnlr stock were mndn
at from that up to $4.30. Ituslness wns dull
and dragging throughout and there was some
stock still In first hands at thn close.
The recent sharp ndvnnce In cow values wns
reasonably well sustained today , although
t IK-ID wus a notable absence of the snap so
characteristic of 1'rlday's trado. Cholco to
fancy cows nnd heifers brought from $3.00 to
$4.35. fair to good butchers'stock J3 to $3.80
nnd common nnd canning grades $2 to 2.75.
Hulls and stags sold at about steady pi-Iron ,
from $2.00 to H for fair to cholco stock. Very
few veal calves weie offered but unles were
rendlly affected at steady prices around S4.50
and $5.
Kogulnr dealers did most of the feeder liity-
Ing today , Ihodomnnd from the country being
decidedly limited , l-'resh onYilngs v.-ero rather
more liberal thun usual , but brought fully
steady prices , selling at from $2.00 to $1.35 , In
cluding about 21)0 ) wostetns nt from $3 up

lloos-Fluctuations In the hog market Ilia
past neck have been within a comunrntlvely
nanow range , not over lOc to 16c. and the
clofo of the week tltuls prices.substantially the
sumo ns tit the close of last week. Them baa
been apparently no clinit , e lit the situation ,
nnd no now facts have been ascertained
that will throw any llgbt on the
question as lo the available supply of hogs or
the future course of the market. The light
Mocks of provisions constitute the principal
bull feature , and unless thnro Is nit unex
pected Increase ) In supplies verv soon , It Is
hardly tirobablo Unit prices will suffer any
very serious decline for some tlmo to eotnu ,
In the meantime , hogs nrtt selling relatively
higher here than anywhere west of I'hlcngo ,
generally from lOc to 2.V higher thun at
Kansas C'lty , In the south , and front Oe to lOu
higher than Slonx Oily on the north.
Todny's supply was but Ilitli- over half as
heavy us a week ago. The duality was ,
us It has been till week , very good ,
medium weight and heavy hogs pre
dominating. Although there uus little out
side Inquiry , the favorable n-port.s from
Chli-ngo with limited offerings were snillclcnt
to advance prices a good tile till around , tiood
