THE OMAHA DAILV BEE : SUNDAY , AKK1L 29. PACES. lo "CONDITION OF OMAHA'S ' TRADE April Closing on Good Business and Outlook for May Excellent , JOBBERS GENERALLY ARE HOPEFUL PUtiirlmnccd In Other Trade- Center * Ilavo Not AfTcctiMl Omnlm So .S rlou ly-ivl- : ilenco Unit the llinlrt ' ' " > ° Onto City U ( Jrowlng. With the promise of settled weather the local Jobbers nro anticipating some Improve ment on the business of the last two weeks of April , Past experience has affirmed the Influence of atmospherical conditions on the Omaha Jobbing trade , and If any significance Is to bo attached to former precedents the first week of May ought to show slightly Cttcr results that the last week of April. The close of April finds the wholesale business In better condition In Omaha than In almost any other city In the west. As was the case In March , the books of the local dry goods establishments show that they have done more business than during the corresponding month In last year. It Is to bo doubted whether there Is any other Jobbing center In the country where the same thing can bo truthfully said. As It Is well known that Indlvldcnl orders have not been as liberal this year as heretofore , the only explanation of the Increase In business Is that the Omaha Jobbers have made big Inroads In the business that has In former years gene In part or altogether to rival cities. The largo house trade that has been the feature of the past two months will not bens ns noticeable this month. Nearly all tlia retailers have visited the city and made their spring purchases , and the future trade will bo largely In the way of filling up orders sent In through the traveling men. It Is not to bo expected under present conditions that fall samples will attract much notice until later In the season , although some of the boot and shoo establishments are be ginning to show them through their trav- cling men. I f The feature of the dry goods trade is the / * largo auction sales of flannels , blankets and woolen goods which are being held In Now York , So far It Is apparent that the com mission men nro somewhat wary , not being fully satisfied as to the prospects for fall business. If satisfactory prices are realized at these sales they will probably constitute a basis for prices on these lines for the bal ance of the season. In the local trade Is noticed nn Increasing call for summer wash goods of all sorts. Fnynl crepe Is a leading fabric , and a corded cotton fabric with molro effect Is also very popular with the buyers. Molro silks and ribbons nro used to a considerable extent for trimming summer weight woolen dresa goods. The grocery trade has continued to Im prove , but with the exception of a further advance on some lines of dried fruits and n decline of V } cent on package coffees the trade has been without feature. In hardware and boots and shoes business has been only fair. Hats and caps have not been In active demand , but buyers will probably show more confidence as the weather becomes as- Vjured.

Serenity nml Sense tlui Nriul of the Country nt Present. W. II. 'Iloberson , manager of the mer cantile agency of n. 0. Dun & Co. , talking of trade , snys : "Conditions nro anomalous. Something llko 150,000 men deliberately quit work dur ing the past wcok. As many more In the same localities nro crying ajpud because they cannot find work. Hundreds of men who claim that Idleness la forced upon them are tramping anil stealing rides to the capi tal for the purpose of Induclnc congress to provide them and perhaps 1,000,000 others with employment and wages. Seven hun dred men In Montana stele a train and started to Washington to aid In forcing congress to glvo them work. Another rail road Is calling for 2,000 men to go Into some Btato and build a railway. Twelve hundred men are tramping across Iowa , following out the 'living ; petition' Idea , and they could all bo absorbed as farm laborers In thg great state at this season. If it were X'llielr present necessities only they seek to rc'lovo. ' Unrest , discontent and political va garies are doing the country , more damage limn actual enforced Idleness. It Is true , too true , that many worthy men need em ployment and nro Buffering for want of It , but tholr fellow men are not aiding them In securing work and wages by disturbing the business of the country with strikes nnd crusades. Congress , capital and corpor ations are not wholly responsible for the present condition , nor nro they In any law ful sense to blame for a situation so un usual. i > o critical and so complicated. "What wo need most now Is serenity and sense. This Is no time to try experiments In legislation or experiments In social and political economy. Men of brawn and muscle - clo must stand by men of brain nnd exeprl- cnce at this juncture , and jointly they must work out tholr own nnd the country's salva tion. Talk of revolution and acts of anar chistic tendency make a bad matter worse , und promise neither present nor future pros perity to either prince or pauper. If the men of discretion In all walks of Ufa will exorcise sense the present difficulties will puss without reaching the dignity of a crisis. If Incendiary speeches are met by too much show of brute force trouble may come , nnd come very suddenly , but If calm discussion and olllclal patience are the rule wo shall - cmorgo from the dust and discomfiture of n year's disaster and discouragements stronger nnd bettor than ever. "Hut this Is preaching and prophesying. The fact Is that business for the week has been dull and trade Is spiritless. Money Is slowly accumulating In the banks and lethargy prevails ( among the speculators. Nothing hns been done during the week of nronso cither enthusiasm or hope. Our sev eral proposed enterprises nro no nearer re alization than a week ago except In the matter - tor of tlmo. The canal schema has as much llfo as over , but less talk Is heard. The I promoters now say that the canal will be . something more than talk In thrco months If two leading bankers make good their promises of or.courngoment. "Tho warm weather has braced up retail tratlo qulto a good deal , and oven real estate - tate has felt the rejuvenating effect of the turn of spring , "At South Omaha the wcok has been quiet und featureless. Receipts have been light and prices slow. " SNOW OHUHUI1 Si CO.'S V1KAV. -.ubor Trouble * anil Tariff Unrrrtaliity Ho. Hpimiliihi for tlin Delay In Ilitnlnuig. Albert Adrlona , local superintendent of Snow , Church & Co.'a mercantllo agency , eays ; ' "Tho great strikes and generally unsettled , condition of affairs throughout the east have , i of course , affected business to a greater or loss oxtcnt , Omaha , however , has moro than held Its own , and In Nebraska the outlook seems as bright as over. The abundant ralnj have put the soil In gooil condition , and country merchants and farmurs allko are jubilant over the prospects for a good crop. "Traveling salesmen report u fair condi tion of trade In the country , and farmers uro busy nt work. In groceries business Is fair , and the same may to said of dry goods. Implement men report a large trade In re- i pairs , an Indication that farmers are using 1 their old machines wherever possible. Col lections are only fair and generally small. Notwithstanding these facts , the Improver - rmeiit In trade Is slow and rather unsatls- * factory. This Is attributed largely to the uolay in acting on the tariff measure. It Is now elated that the bill will be ready by the end of May. "Wholesale hoima send cut their sales- men In the beginning of May , and the bill will , therefore , not bo passed until the sea son Is well on. Woolen and other dutiable goods are usually purchased by the middle of February ! this year they will not bo bought until some tlmo In May , a delay of three months. This means that the factories usually busy turning out orders at this tlmo of the year are Idle , awaiting the course of events. In other words , there U a KPtier.il stagnation In manufacturing , and Incldcntly In wholesale affairs , pending the decision of this Important measure. It Is not now only a question of whether the Wilson bill will pass , or whether the high protective tariff will obtain ; the main point now at Issue Is what wo will have. The uncertainty of nllalrs Is what Is killing trade. Should the Wil son bill pass , It would only be a short time until manufacturers nnd Im porters have adjusted themselves to the new condition. Should It not pass and the tariff remain unchanged , which Is hardly prob able , business will at once resume a firmer tone. The merchants throughout the coun try nro deploring this condition of unstabll- Ity , and It Is to bo hoped that congress will act as promptly as possible on this all Im portant matter. "The passage of the Kelly army and other similar bodies of men across the continent lias brought homo to the business public a sense of the deplorable conditions that exist in some parts of the country. While It may be true , as stated , that many of these men do not care to work , and many of them are cranks , nevertheless It must be admitted that the mere fact that they nro securing the sympathy of the best citizens of this vicinity Is proof of the deep-seated conviction that their cause Is not entirely unjust. Adding to this the fact that many of those composing the army which passed through Omaha were ap parently very respectable tradesmen , nnd the Importance of this move will bo moro readily appreciated. > "There Is a certain sympathy with this movement , In many Instances freely ox- pressetl by the most successful nnd promi nent business men , which Is convincing proof that In a relative degree these same men , In many Instances man of largo means and unimpeachable impeachable- Integrity , are bearing their share of the general business depression. While It Is not certain what this aggregation of unem ployed may accomplish In their visit to the national capital. It Is to bo hoped that their protests nnd personal petitions may succeed In accelerating the actions of congress. "The situation at present may be summed up about as follows : The country Is In a fair condition , financial affairs on a reasonably well established basis , the prospects of a successful harvest exceedingly good. Kvery favorable Indication of returning activity In ituslness Is apparent , and It seems that the only obstacle to a favorable reaction In trade is tha doubt as to the ultimate outcome of tariff legislation. If the present favorable conditions continue to prevail nnd the tariff matter Is promptly decided , there Is no reason why the usual fall business , and In fact a fair summer business , may not accrue.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Speculation Was in a Waiting Mood Yes terday in Wheat , CORN WAS LIMP WITH LITTLE DEMAND Wonuncim In Other MnrketH Influenced Ontit to Hoinn Kxtont lYur of I.iilmr Trouble * Kept ProvlHlmm Io n to lluttoin Prices. CHICAGO , April 23. Speculation was In a waiting mood today In the wheat market. Compared with closing prices of the day be fore thsro was a Uo decline. Corn was limp and lost half of the previous day's advance value. Provisions could not stand the amount of short selling Which was done and closed lower. Trading In May wheat was relegated to a secondary position , such business as was done In It being confined entirely to buying In or selling out of previous contracts. The market was without feature and the fluctu ations were limited to Vic In both May and July. Dullness was again coupled with weakness In the corn pit. The favorable conditions prevailing , together with the prospect of In creasing receipts , caused the weakness. Scarcity of new business and the disinclina tion of traders to change- their positions ac counted for the dullness. The lowest point of the day prevailed nt the close. The weakness In the other markets In fluenced oats to some extent. Hess took qulto a fair amount of May as well as July. Ulds for the latter month were frco during most of the session and a comparatively steady feeling existed , showing a net decline of only V4c at the close , whllo the other de liveries were from Ho to % o off. Provisions were again weak on fear of labor troubles. Compared with yesterday's closing quotation's , losses are shown of 12Vic to 15o In pork , 7c In lard and 2' ' c In ribs. Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat , 112 cars ; corn , 456 cars ; oats , 350 cars ; hogs , 21- 000 head. The leading futures ranged as follows : Articles. I Open. I Low. I Close.

NHW VpniC , April 2ff/ There seems to bo n growing belief omong1 the speculative fraternity that the trusttfniiro to bo treated tenderly by the tralff 6lll"hnd ( consetjuently the industrials are at present the favorite " group of stocks of the , , ( lers for a rise. It Is confidently asserted" tliut refined sugar is to bo fully protectedrUhat the bonded period is to bo fixed lb'"jjtiit the distillers nnd that the duty on lead la to bo Increased o par pound. The trailing on the Stock exchange was mainly In Sugar , Lead , Dis tilling and Chicago Gas , with only small trading In the railway list , chiefly In St. Paul , Burlington & Qulncy nnd Reading. Sugar monopolized almost one-half of the transactions and was In good buying de mand , making an advance of 3V per cent to 104'Ji and closing within U per cent of the highest prlco touched. The preferred stock made a gain of l'i per cent. Load rose 2 % per cent for the common and 2j > per cent for the preferred , closing at the top figures. Distilling fluctuated between 25 and 25 % , the last sale being at 23'4. Chicago Gas roso. Vi per cent , the last being the best prlco of the day , Tito trading in the rail way list was dull and uninteresting , the only changes on the day's transactions In excess of a fraction being declines of 1 per cent In New Jersey Central , Louisville & New Albany and Oregon Short Line. St. Paul was sold in small lots by London houses , receding * i per cent nnd recovering H per cent. Burlington & Qulncy moved within ix limit of U per cent. Comslock Tunnel declined 1 per cent. The market was In better tone In the Into dealings than earlier In the day and closed fairly strong. The result of the week's trading hns been In the main a depreciation In value's. ' The bond market today was generally heavy nnd closed easier In tone. The Evening Test says : Today's bank statement was pretty much what ought to have been expected ; for Interior demand for money will hardly revive while strikes In Important Industries are so numerous. More over , the plain meaning of this week's ex tremely disappointing auction sales In the dry goods market Is that jobbers and re tailers alike are decidedly unwilling to slock up with merchandise until thry know the future of the tariff. With production on the one hand nnd distribution on the other thus checked throughout the country , an Increase this week of $1,311,700 In bank deposits nnd of $2-lS3U09 In average bank cash hold ings , despite the specie exports , was not In the least unnatural. And , of course. In the present state of homo and foreign money markets , every additional million of Idle cosh heaped up 111 Now York City'adds to the presumption that new and largo money requirements abroad will bo satisfied by withdrawals of gold from here.

This has been a week of very unevenly distributed receipts. Compared with last week , thcro has been a decrease all around , while compared with n year ago cattle show n decrease nnd hogs and sheep an Increase. With nn average run of stock Monday , the four month * receipts , compared with sup plies for the corresponding period a year ago , will show n decrease of about -ll.COO cattle and 21,000 sheep , whllo the increase In hog receipts will amount to nearly 130,000 head. Receipts for the wcok with compari sons aru shown in the following table : Cattle. Hogs , Sheep. Ilocclpts this week Id.llii Maa 3OM HecelplH last week 18,152 Sl.l-'oii 7Kli ! Same week lust your. . . l'JK0 ! 32,119 4,71)1 ) fluctuations In cuttle values have boon frequent and at times violent , but the close of the week finds values 15c to 25c lower than six days ago on an average. In gen eral thcro has been no marked change In the conditions surrounding the trade. Two fac tors enter largely Into the market nt pres ent , one the matter of receipts and the other the state of European markets , nnd the consequent nature of the demand for export cattlo. When the demand for cattle across the water Is capable of absorbing all our surplus of fatted beeves and the home demand Is normal , prices nro bound to bo favorable to the producer no matter whether receipts at the trading market centers uro heavy or not. Hut when , ns has beun the case for nearly1a fortnight , the demand both at home and abroad falls below the average , even comparatively light receipts fall to stimulate prices. The consumptive demand for beef has been and continues to be very mercurial. Two weeks ago trade appeared to bo picking up nicely , but of late strikes , lock-outs nml labor troubles all over the country have had a , very disastrous effect , nml the dressed beef men again complain of full coolers and no market. It Is not so much a matter of surprise that prices have declined ns that they have declined s\i little , but this Is prob ably because values are so low that much moro of a decline would shut oft supplies entirely. The present condition of affairs Is certainly decidedly unfavorable , as much so to the slaughterer as to the producer. SATURDAY SCOHES A SLUMP. Receipts today were-somewhat larger than anticipated and resulted In a further soften ing of values. There was nothing In the situation cast to encourage speculative . activity , and buyers for local houses were decidedly Indifferent , whllo exporters were inclined to await developments next week. In consequence It was another case of hunt ing for the good , light cattle , and neglectIng - Ing the heavier crades. Prices averaged fully a dime lower than Friday , the decline being felt most on the heavier cattle. Early trading was decidedly slow , but It looked as If the low prices later proved attractive to all classes of buyers , nnd by noon a very decent clearance had been oifectod. The market for cow stuff has shown very little change all week. Tills class of stock continues to constitute a very small proportion tion cf the total receipts , and as buyers are all after It trade is generally lively and soon over. There were not over eighteen loads on sale today nil told. The good fat stock sold quickly at strong prices , while the com mon grades ruled slow and weak. Calves were freely offered , and while there was n very fair demand , prices shaded lower on all grades. Dulls , oxen and stags were In fair supply and demand. Prices quotably un changed. Early in the week the stacker and feeder market was rather dull , with the supply liberal and the demand light. For the- past two or three days , however , conditions have been exactly reversed , and offerings have been kept well cleaned up from day to day. The demand has been most active for the light stock cattle to go on grass , but nil grades have been wanted , and prices in gen eral are quotably 15c to 25e higher than a week ago. Good to choice feeders are quoted nt from ? 3.25 to $3.85 , fair to good at from $3 to $3.25 , nnd lighter , commoner grades at from $3 down. REPRESENTATIVE SALES. DRESSED I3KEF. No. Av. Pr.

Whllo prices have averaRCd 5c to lOo lower than last week , the cloio on IIORS tudny was prnctleilly the same as on List Sat urday. Nothing new has developed , ami the trade Is as much nt * oa ns over In regard to future supplies , prices , otc. Gen eral distrust and uncertainty have imralyzod the speculative clement and packers eontlnuo to put n\\ny the hogs nt a loss. On the baslg of ChlciiKo prices for product , IIORS hero should be aellliiK at around $ i.9t ) to $5 , and apparently packers lese from 20o to fiOo on every IIOR packed. The bulk of the kill- Ins now Is for Immediate consumption , and on this there Is Kencrnlly onoiiKh profit to counterbalnoo the other. In nconrdaneo with Its usual custom , the Cincinnati Price Current figures up the sum mer supply of hofta as follows : "Piirsulni ? the usual InvpstlRatlons this ppi : on , and con solidating the returns as heretofore , the Indications reached with reference t sup ply of hogs rsllmnltd to be available for marhetliiR during the period fiom Mnroh i to November 1 , nrn shown In the following , by states , compared with last year : Ohio , 115 ; Indiana , 110 ; Illinois , .112 ; lown , 118 ; Missouri , 111 ! ; Knnsa , 110 ; Nebraska , MO ; Minnesota , 113 ; Wisconsin , 111 ; Mich igan , 120 ; Kentucky , 107 ; Tennes see. 112. Applying these nveranrii with reference to the merit of enoh of the several states , the general avcr.iRo reached Is 113 or 1.1 per cent Increase , In comparison with last year. The western packing during the elRht summer months last year was G.720,000 hogs. The Informa tion now submitted Rtiggests approxlmtoly 875,000 as tlo | gain to bo looked for , which qulto likely may In fact bo exceeded. Tim causes which have bd up to this prospect Ivo enlargement In supplies of hof.s Include the fact that the shaping of prices the past year and a half has given nn Impulse to Interest In production of hogs , and the past winter feason has been especially frco from condi tions adverse to breeding stock. It Is there fore reasonable , under continuance of fa- vornlilo conditions , to look for a decided en largement In the marketable supply. U Is well understood by the trade , however , that the movement late In the season Is lliitde to bo affected In an Important mnnner by prices of hogs and prospective supply of " corn. CLOSED WITH A HKAVY WJN. The week closes with n comparatively heavy mil , fully twleo ns many ns were hero on lust Saturday , the quality of the offerings , as usual , good , with llfiht ami light mixed stuff very largely predominat ing. The market averaged up nbnut a nickel lower than Krlilay. Heavy supplies nnd a light shipping demand moro than counter acted the favorable reports from Chicago , and buyers had Ilttlo dlllleulty In making tholr purchases at a good 5c decline. Tl\3 range of prices was as usual narrow. On the early market the popular prlco was $3.Id , with a $ ri.lL'Vi top , nnd the market weak ening as the morning advanced , late trades wore mostly nt $ V05 , wllh n low murk nf ? o. Iltislness was tolerably Tirlsk early , but closed up slow nnd mean , It being nearly noon before the last hogs sold. Trading was very largely nt $3.03 and $5.10 , as against J5.10 and $5.15 on Friday and $3.05 and ? 5.07' , & on last Saturday. Hecelpts or sheep were heavier than they have been for ten days.
