THE 3JEE : RUNHAY , DKORM1JJDR 2 , 1891. CONDITION OFOMAIIA'STRADE ' November Trade Fully Up to the Expect- tiona of Jobbers , COLLECTIONS AS A RULE QUITE GOOD Sannonnlilo Clootl * Moving In Very Fair * - * VuluniD Coltter Wontlicr Wnntcdto Olvo Miu | > to Trade TlmnksfrlvliiR Jlml- lion Itiitlicr Dliuptiolntlne * In n general way It may benald ot the operations carried on In the Jobbing dis trict of Omaha duririR the past six days that trade was of a featureless character and devoid of any very Important Inci dents of general Interest. The Jobbers In most all lines report Just n fair movement of goods , no great activity , and at the same time no marked decrease In the volume of nates. During the first two days of the week1 there was n , falling oft In the grocery traae , but there was more activity "at the close , BO that the week as a whole averaned up very fair. In the line of hardware there was little change , the character of the busi ness remaining about the same as detailed a week ago. The dry goods people report a fair movement of goods In their line and the boot und shoe trade Is all that could be expected at the present time. The moriVh as a whole has been fully up to the expectations of the Jobbers and none of them are finding fault with the volume of business transacted. As a matter of fact , It has fallen far short of what would have been expected under more favorable circumstances , but considering the condi tions prevailing in the country It Is all that could reasonably be anticipated. The weather Is not cold enough to stimu late business nnil the Jobbers generally an ticipate a continuance of the .present mod erate demand for goods until there Is a change In the weather conditions. Dry goods , boots and shoes , rubber goods , etc. , would be In much better demand If tne weather was cold enough to.cnuso a more rapid depletion of retail stocks , As yet stocks In the country have not .been broken to any great extent. Collections In the country arc In fair shape and the retail merchanta appear to be able tamed their obligations with very little trouble. A good many Jobbers have been heard to express surprise during the past month at the excellent condition of col lections. With so little corn to sell It Is u. problem as to where the money Is coming from , AH usual the fruit and produce men of tne city looked forward with a good deal of In terest to the coming of Thanksgiving week. Thanksgiving week Is the harvest time for those engaged In handling the delicacies served at the annual feast. This season there was a good deal of speculation na to the extent of the demand and the size of the slocks that would be required. As a rule Uenlera were not anticipating a very lavish expenditure of money on the part of consumers , and the result has borne out their expectations. ' It must be admitted that the Thanksglx'- Ing trade was a disappointment to most every one. The demand was of n very mod erate character and was easily satisfied. More than that. It was a demand for cheap articles , and anything that looked rather ex travagant was neglected. Most everything went at low prices. Poultry was very low , but that fact did not appear to stimulate the demand. Fruits were to be had at mod erate prices , but there was no great call for anything In that line. Oysters v/ere tne lowest In the history of the trade In this city , but consumers appeared to be deter mined to practice economy and nothing could Induce them to Indulge In the lavish expenditures of previous years. It may be of Interest to the trade to know that Omaha Is the lowest oyster market In the west ; In fact , lower than many eastern markets. The plrces here are lower than Chicago , which has a large advantage In the matter of freight rates , being so much nearer Ualtlmore , the point of supply. A year ago at this time the oyster dealers of Omaha were cutting prices , and the compe tition was of the most severe character , and It was thought that prices were 0.1 low as they would ever lie In this market. Here nre the quotations given a year ago on Rome of the leading brands : I X L. , 13o ; horseshoes , 19c ; mediums , llic : extra selects , Etc to 2lcj company selects , 2Cc. Compare ticse | llgures .with . those prevailing nt the present lime , which nre as follows : I X L , < 8c ; mediums , lOc ; horseshoes , 12c ; extra se lects , 17c ; company selects , 2lc. As the time for the annual meeting of the National League of Commission Men draws near would-be olllce holders are quietly feeling the pulse of the members. Several letters have been received by tne local members during the week soliciting Rupport for this or that candidate.- Reports from other cities Indicate that there Is n. Kood deal of activity among the members of the trade as to the coming meeting and there Is promise of the largest gatherum of commission men In New York In January ever held In this country. Several cities which so far have taken no part In lh * league are forming branch leagues and K promise to send delegates to New York. The efforts that are being put forth to ele vate the commission business and weed out the disreputable and Irresponsible firms that have .disgraced the business Is growing In ppptllurlty and the friends of the league predict that In the near future the member ship will embrace nil the responsible firms In. the leading market centers of the coun- .Just nt present there is considerable tils. elusion going on amcng the members as to the benefits that will nccrui to the com mission firms which devote their attention J ° butter , eggs , poultry , etc. Some have taken the ground that the fruit men were receiving the most benefit. Those who have i taken the trouble to Investigate the subject nro coining to , the conclusion that the bulter and egg men will be as much benefited as ivny other class of commission men. The Inilter and egg men have suffered more than any ono else from the operations ol disreputable firms , and the raising of die ntandard of the business will be of the very Kreatest advantage to them. , This would appear to be Hie conclusion reached in cus.t- orn cities by .members of the trade , JudgliiE from thc'iiew leagues that are Uelng formed and , thc Interest that is being taken In the movement , > _ AS UUN NEK3 IT. ' 1-fcccsilty of Doing Niiinotlilng for Oinulm More Imporntlvu Now Tlmn Kvur. Mr. AV. H. noberson , local manager ol U. O. Dun & Co. , spqaklng of trade for No- vembcr and the week just past , Bays : "The reports from the east are not quite so. encouraging this week as last. The shut' down of the sugar refineries will dlmlnlsl : the Imlustilal force by perhaps 50,0)0 ) men As a partial offset to this the Qethlchetr steel w'crks and a few other concerns havt resumed work. Although In two Instance ; resumption was had at Increased wage ? yet on the whole the purchasing power ol ihnwo.rkl B'"an has not Increased mater lally. 1'rpbably It has decreased. The fall urcs for the week In the United States num ber eighteen more than for the same weel last year.

SecUo of the city , where most of the tlve-Htori bulldlnga liml other large , subjtantlal struc turew are found. Fifty-four ? of tl e . ! ) $ buildings In the locality mentioned are vix can . many of them being live stories high I'robably If the Investigation were cnrrle" to other sections of the city the plttintloi would be st II less encouraging.

Uno of the most conservative banker : recently stated In an open meeting that un SvSOI"B hlng was done quickly and eftec" fc ! f 10nmlia B citizens would b. . ged i to llnd homes elsewhere within txvi South Omaha , which has ' for an of business men and r . Wo hiwiJ the city , wo hnvo the location have the territory , and wo liavo i the cnn ' , ° niuka this city ijrow. We > hnr a little Just ' now on enteipriae. If we tm , a t past year I think I couh atuua twenty aejwirate anil dlallnct scheme which have been propo pd In this city nnd which nt one time or another looked feas ible and promising , every single one of which has failed to materialize. Omaha talk * too much and acts too little. If our business men will rally 'round the Com- mriclnl club and devote a little more time ly business nnd a little less to talk of en terprises there may be a change for the better. We have undertaken so many on- terprlHes nnd have failed utterly to nc- compllah anything with them that our citi zens and our neighbors have lost confidence In our good Intentions nnd In our ability 'o carry forward Undertakings which seem in their face to be worthy of support. "All that has been said before Is dlscour- glng. There Is , however , n bright sld < ! to he situation. Our business men have assed through the strains of the past two cars for the most part , and , while they iave made little money , they have kept lieir credit good and the city has expe- lenceil very few failures. "There Is a Held here for additional Job- ting houses In every single line now repre- ented , without exception. Some of the Men could stand two or more houses. In ome lines we nre without representation , ind yet this city occupies u position which nables It to control trade In a very wide extent cf territory. Were It not so , the al most absolute failure of crops In Nebraska his year would seriously cripple our Job- lng trade. The fact Is , however , that the month ot November shows ns large an ng- regale In sales , figured In dollars nnd cents , s November of a year ago. Taken In con- icctlon with the fact that prices have heapened 25 per cent In a gro.it many Ineg , the extent of , the lncrea ed business may bft appreciated. Every Jobbing house "n Omaha which h3s not been harassed by viuit of sufllclcnt capital to enable. It to ipernte , has done well during 1891. As has requently been remarked In these discus- Ions , an entirely new line of traders has een brought to the city , and territory jeretofore practically shut to Omaha raders has been opened and vigorously can- ttssed. Collections In wholesale circles nve been good , notwithstanding the fxvr- ul state of trade generally. One house In his city Is reported to have cut off DO per lent of Its customers In one section of Its errltory , nnd yet the month's business Is qual to that of a. year ago. The traders iut oft were these whose standing , ns Ijown by the mercantile agencies , was loubtful. The stringency has made credit men more careful , und , as a consequence > f this , traders nre cautious and more than ver Interested In maintaining n good stand- ng with the wholesale houses who carried hem for larger or smaller amounts. "Wholesale business alone will not make a cltv , though It helps In times like ih''stf greatly. What we need here la-more vuge mploring Institutions , and these we must .i w U this city Is to grow In- the future is ic bus grown lit the past. With plenty Jf money in the banks , with quite a num- Ijer of citizens with money to loan , nnd any amount of money available In the cast for legitimate enterprises , It would seem entirely practicable for Omaha to Interest capital here nnd do something Immediately to stimulate her growth' , for n year we have been preaching that something must be done. We should now spend n year doing something that ought to be done/ ' 8NO\V , C1IUKU1I & CO'd. VIKW3. luslncm ( lenornlly Shows I-Htlo Improve ment for the Week Jim Cloiod. Albert 1C. Andrlano , local superintendent for Snow , Church. & Co.'s mercantile agency , writes : 'The business for the week Just endet1 shows little Improvement In general local trade , both wholesale nnd letall. There was not the usually liberal purchase ol able luxuries Incident to Thanksgiving , ant' commission merchants were much disap pointed at he light demands of consumers. "In retail circles there are tew happen- ngs worthy of note. Each cold day shows a slight Increase In receipts , but this Is only temporary , and general trade con- ' : inus dull nnd unpromising. Wholesale bus- ness generally Is rather light. Collections are fair. There Is u continued demand for stoveware , but little doing In other lines of light and heavy hardware. Clothing manufacturers appear to be doing a fair business. ' "Trade for the month just ended does not compare very favorably with that of the preceding month. Business In October ivas very fair , with every tendency towartl Improvement. It was expected that the election during the first days of November would Injure trade , but that the revlva thereafter would1 be nil the niore marked. In place of a pronounced revival , however , there occurred only a temporary Improve ment cf very short duration. "Taking Into consideration nil attcndinr circumstances , however , business durln ? the fall months was much better than hoi been expected. For the coming month mer chants have In. prospect the ! holiday trade While this may not he as large or ns profit able as usual , It will'no doubt , tide over what would otherwise be'a very dull spell It Is hardly expected that there will be any marked revival In trade until far Into the coming spring. While affairs throughout the country generally arc gradually readJusting - Justing themselves , there Is no Immediate prospect for a decided Increase 'of trade In this locality. Prosperity In contiguous ter ritory will materially assist wholesalers and Incidentally benefit retailers. In this way trade may be kept up to n fair point unH the prospect of nn abundant crop gives promise of renewed activity In business.

Condition of Trade und Quolntloui on Slnplo and Fancy I'rmluro. The bulter market has.been rallicr qulel.during : he week , Iho demand being onlyJusl .sufficient lo hold Ihe mnrkel steady. The average quality of the butter arriving Is none lee good : Only a small proportion of U Is good enough lo admit of Its being sold for table use. As a result a large proportion of the arrivals has to BO for iincklne stock , though In reality moel lee good for llial purpose. The receipts have been consid erably In excess of the previous week , in fact the receipts were the heaviest In pome weeks. The egg market has remained nt steady prices all Hie week and the trade has been entirely devoid of nsw features. So many cold storage eggs are being wild for fresh that the market on strictly fiesh , stock cannot very well improve. Low prices liavo ruled all the week in the poultry market in spttiot the holiday demand. There Is a good deal of poultry In the counlry and 11 keeps coming in In pplte of the unsatis factory prices , so that the receipts remain nil the wnllo a little In OXOORS of the demand. As n result the market Is not given any opportunity to lecover. Even If the receipts were to fall off nnd prices to udvajice it Is doubtful If consumers would pay much more than present prices. Con sumers this season appear to prefer to do with out nn . article rather than pay high pi Ices for it. The. low prlco of poultry cut oft a good deal ol the demand for game , nnd Jhe local sales were not as large as many had antlcipaled that they would be. The market on most kinds of game , however , has been1 nrm , with the exception ot rabbits , which nre almost unsalable nt any price In thd present condition of the , maiket It Is n dinicult matter to get express charges out of rub- bits : Following will show the receipts for the weeks ending on dales Indicated nl head of columns.

After nn Irregular OprnlnR Securities As * fliinicd StrniiRiT Tone. NEW YOK , Dec. 1. After nn IrrcRUlnr penltiK the stock market assumed u declil- tlly BtrotiK1 tone , and under the leadership f Sugar the active Hat nnd ninny of the peclnlttc.i advanced steudlly to the close , he llnnl snlc.i boliiR In most Instances nt he hlKliest point of the day. The absence if any pressure to sell Induced the short nterest to cover , and the announcement nade olllclnlly that the Suirur trust shut down merely for a few days led to a sharp niylnR move In the shares ot the company , n many quarters It was believed the action f President Havemeyer was a stock job- > lni ? ' engineering scheme for the purpose of hakliiR- out weak holders , ns well ns to maJcea quick turn In the stock. Under hose circumstances , after nn opening renc- Iqn of H per cent , Sugar rose sharply 2Vi > er cent , closlntr within Yt per cent of the ilRhest nnd nt an advance on the day of % per cent. There was good buying In he grangers , all of which reached the top n the final sales , Bt , Paul Gearing a gain of 14 | per cent on heavy covering , Hurling- on % per cent.

The others gains were In the smaller fractions , there oclng some few ex ceptions , In which declines were recorded , ncludlng Oregon Improvement nnd Cotton Oil preferred 54 per cent and Distilling- per cent. During the week the share speculation lafl been rather quieter than usual and the > revalllnfT tone has been one of depression , vlth'tho result.tlmt a majority of the stocKs radcd In' PheW losses on the week's trans actions. The favorable Influence of the suc cessful placing o.f the new government loan lad beei > discounted the preceding week ami the..settling oC the dividend on North western , together with reports of decreased allroad earnings and bear talk of Sugar , mil a depressing effect on the general mar ket. The better feeding In .the late dealings caused some recovery , but not enough to wipe out the parler | declines. The total Kjles for the five days of business were 881,300 shares. The bond market ruled firm luring the day and on good trading some ma- .erlal advances were recorded , Including t'eorla & Knstern Ists , 3 per cent.

Supplies were not at all excessive , but he demand for beef cattle appeared to be > f the most Indifferent character possible , 'he muggy weather was another ilepres- ng feature which the abundance and cheap- lew of game nnd poultry cut Into the de- nand for beef to an unusual extent. On A'ednesdy there was n very light run , and he market took a sharp upturn of lOc to Gc , and with continued moderate supplies he upward tendenai/ the market held good after the holltmy , and prices at the close were on an average 15c to 25c better linn at thp opening' of the week. That here Is a good , strong undertone to the rade Is apparent from the fact that the narket so quickly responds to a falling off n receipts. This dealers took as an Imllba- lon of stronger prices later on , ns It Is lext to a moral certainty that the market- ng of fat cattle this \ylnter will be on a re duced scale. * SATURDAY'S TJIADE LIVJ3LY. The supply today whs fully up to the average for the last day ; Of the week , al- hough the week's receipts foot up but .3,417 head , or about 6,000 lighter than last week , and 2,000 lighter than a year ago. As on Friday there was an active demand 'or desirable beef steers nt good , strong irlces on anything the dressed beef men could use , or on cattle good enough for shippers the market was a simile higher. A bunch of very fair 1,210-lb. beeves sold tor J3.80 , and fair to very good western rangers brought from $2.75 to JJ.SO. Half fat and warmed up native cattle and low grade range steers were not particularly sought after , but they sold at fully steady prices , and with a free movement a good and early clearance was effected. It was the same way with cow stuff. Sup- illes were light nnd there was a good de- nand from all sources. Fair to good cows and heifers sold a shade stronger than on "rlday , and the Reneral market for mtchers' and canners' stock was all of lOc o .IGc better than the close of last week. Poor , thin , canning stock has been hard to sell , even nt very low llgures , all week. Sarly In the week the calf market was overstocked and buyers pounded the life out of the market , taking off anywhere from "Cc to $1.25 on all grades , the good ' veal stock 'suffering ns much ns the com- noner larger grades , fat bulls , stags , etc. , iave developed some strength , but their rough stock has sold off badly. A very fair volume of business has been ransacted In stockers nnd feeders all week , and prices have shown comparatively little change. Uoth regular dealers and country juyers have been good patrons of the mar- cet for well bred and well lleshcd stock , but sellers have experienced the usual amount of dllllculty in working oft thin , ow-grade stock cattle , even nt prevailing very mean prices. lluslness was rather julet today , but prices were generally Irmly held nnd the yards pretty well cleaned up. Good to choice feeders arc quotable at from J2.70 to ? 3.i5 ; fair to good at from $2.33 to $2.60 , and common grades from $2.25 down. ItcprcsTntutlvn Sales. DHKSSED DEE * ' . No. Av. Pr. No. Av. IV.
