Ever since the first uprlnu shower made
its presence felt there has been a Kooil
deal of talk about the Improved feeling
prevailing In business circles. That there
waa a decided change In sentiment among
business men there l no question , but It late
to be Bcrluusly doubted If there wa.s any
real Improvement In the actual volume of
business. During the past week , however-
there has been mote evidence among the
Jobbers of the city of un actual Improve
ment In truile. There has been no Kfeat
Increase In the dernund for goods , but It
noted that there Is a larger number of
houses that report a slight gaJn In the
volume of goods moving , and that some
of the most conservative of the Jobbers ,
who have been able to nee but little In the
way of encouragement , are commencing to
talk In a mure hopeful manner.
Local hardware houses have been reason
ably busy during the past week , and the
business condition ! ) In this line appear to
be Improving. There Is some little building
under way In the country , which Is helping
out the demand for goods In the builders'
line. Ay the general business prospect Im
proves people In the eastern portion of
the state and In Iowa who hud some money
are evincing more Inclination to part with
It , and arc buying more liberally. It can
not be nall ( that -trade Is good , but It Is
belter than was the case a short times ago.
There has bsen no decided advance in the
hardware market , but there Is n , llrmer
feeling all along the line. Local jobbers
who bad goods contracted , nnd have asked
manufacturers to duplicate their orders ,
have Invariably been met with a refusal ,
Hhowlng that manufacturers are anticipat
ing u. HtreiiKHiftilnu of prices. Stocks are
so exhausted Unit what little trade there
Is has to bi supplied from the 1'uctorles ,
and even a moderate Increase In the de
mand makes Itself felt Immediately. All
that seems to be needed to advance staple
lines Is a little stir In the market.
There Is no very Important change In
the reports of the grgcery Jobbers , either
ns to the volume or general character of
trade In their line. Some houses say that
their customers have b cn Inclined to buy
a little more freely , but upon the whole
It does not appear that anything more
than a fair business has been transacted
during the past week. On ewry side there
is strong evidence of very conservative
uiethods being pursued by retail dealers
sn the matter ot buying , while there Is no
Inclination to take navuntaga of any o"
the speculative leatures of tlie market.
lry goods people re | > ort a lair movemen
of goods in their line for the week , bu
no great rush of business. The marke
on staple cotton goods continues very llrm
and material advances were recorded during
the week In some of the leading makes
of bleached cottons. The Improvement In
the market for brown cottons has beet :
fully maintained. The continued advance
In the price of cotton Is still the sustaining
feature of the market.
Ituot und shoe men are talking In a fa
more encouraging tone than was the cusi
a few weeks ago. Ketiiil stocks In al
sections of the country have been altnos
exhausted , and dealers are compallcd l <
order as the trade demands the goods
This keeps a constant stream of Htnal
orders coming In to the jobbers nil tlu
time. It Is a fact , however , that the pres
ent volume of business Is not large , but
the outlook Is most encouraging. There
appears to be n general revival Iti the boot
und shoe business In all sections of the
country. Although a great many shoes
nre being produced , the manufacturers
seem more Indifferent about selling than
dealers about buying. Increased prices
of material have enhanced the cost of mak
ing shoes beyond the tlgures that can be
obtained for them.
The manufacturers claim that the Increase
Ira the price ; of shoes has In no case thus
far been equivalent to the. increased cost.
Alany manufacturers have sold all that
they can make In four months. Considera
ble quantities were contracted for before
there was any considerable advance In the
cost of leather , and not at any advance.
OH grain leather Is C7'h per cent dearer
than it was last fall , glove nnd pebble
grain GO per cent , sole leather of some
kinds 40 per cent , splits from SCO to $ SO pet-
ton. Kvcn at these figures tannrs of west
ern hides are not getting anywhere near
an equivalent advance for leather. It Is
claimed that the manufacturers are refus
ing a godd many largo orders for shoes
because the buyers will not pay the prices
demanded. On several kinds of shoes no ad
vance to speak of has been asked as yet.
It Is claimed that boot and shoe manu
facturers have generally become convinced
ot the shortage of cattle In the country ,
and hence the absolute shortage of hides ,
und they nre In consequence trying for
higher prices on their goods. There Is a
good deal of talk to the effect that It is
the Jobber of boots and shoes who will
make a mistake If he still hangs to a be
lief that he can , by some hook or crook ,
sell goods at prices that prevailed a year
ago.
ago.At the present time No. 1 green hides are
selling In the Omaha market at Cc ; No.
2 , BHo ; No. 1 green salted , 7c.
Two months ago the quotations were ;
No. 1 green , 3)&CMc ) ; No. 2 green , 3c ; No. 1
green salted , 5c. The advance appears to be
due entirely to- the shortage In the supply
of hides. There has been u decrease In the
number of packers' hides of over 300.000
since the 'llrst of the year , while the num
ber of country hides has fallen off In a
still greater degree.
FACTORY FACTS.
The Mercer Chemical company has
opened nn agency at St. Louis for the dis
tribution of goods In that section of the
country.
The new opera house In Omaha wilt be
about as near a home production as It Is
possible to make It. The brick. Iron work
and tlreprooling material are all being
made In this city.
The Adamant Wall Plaster people are re-
liulWIng their plant In East Omaha that
was destroyed by lire. The new building
will be of brick nnd Is a great Improve
ment over the old.
Mention has been made several times In
these columns of the fact that the state Is
using Nebraska made goods In all the public
institutions Just so far as It Is possible to
do so. The contracts for the present
quarter , which end on June 'M , call for
Nebraska made goods In the following
quantities : Clothing. ? 1,27D.SO ; meats , fresh
nnd cured , $2C07.a ) ; groceries , $ JM1.5I ( ; Hour ,
Jl.79t.li2 : drugs , $2W : bread , SHIO , or n total
of J9.l26.0j. The present Is n light quarter ,
the purchases In the full and winter being
much larger. These goods nre all purchased
through the retailers and Jobbers and be
fore the home Industry movement was In
augurated the goods were nearly all ob
tained from eastern manufacturers. It Is
estimated that for the year the state Insti
tutions will consume J10.000 worth of Ne
braska manufactured goods. Tha supplying
of the state Institutions with these goods
gets the largo dealers Into the habit of
handling home made goods and results In
the sale of a far greater quantity of goods
than the state Institutions consume.
L. O. IJoup reports u good demand for
mattresses , and other goods In his line

I'rouilne of the I.urgent Output for the
Mute nn it ItcMilt of the Itounty.
The local manager of Snow , Church &
Co.'s mercantile agency writes of trade :
"Nothing startling has transpired during
the past week which would augur either for
or against trade to any great degree. I
have It from the best of Information that
while In the past two or three years the
beet sugar rellnerles have had a great
amount of trouble to Induce farmers to de
vote their attention to beet culture , now It
Is not the question who the refineries will
get to cultivate the beets , but who , of the
great number who are willing to cultivate
the beets , that they will take the beets
from. The Norfolk beet sugar refinery , since
the passage of the sugar bounty , has made
contracts for beets to un amount at least
CO per cent In excess of their entire con
tracts during last year. The Grand Island
sugar rellnery has made contracts for nt
least double the quantity contracted for
during 1801. It has been thought that the
bounty , wnlcti was given during the past
session of the legislature , would go to the
rellnerles. This opinion Is erroneous. The
growers of the beets will receive this bounty
In the Increased prices that the refineries
are enabled to pay for the beets by reason
of the bounty. The Indications are , there
fore , that a very much larger bus !
ness will be done by the refineries
during the coming year , and that large
sums of money will bo disbursed to mechan
ics nnd employes , without taking Into con
sideration the money that will be paid to
the grower * of the beets.
"There has been a very manifest Increase
In prices on shoes and leather goods of all
character , nnd a very general strengthening
of the market In goods of that class. It Is
to the credit of the Omaha jobbers that
they are filling their orders that were taken
at n less price than the goods are now
commanding , which will , in no small de
gree , strengthen their standing In their terri
tory. The retail trade shows a steady In
crease and a decided Inprovcment , both In
the quantities of poods sold and the prices
received over those of .a month ago.
"The slight rains which have blessed the
country during the past ten days , together
with the pleasant weather following , have
conduced to bring nbout a very much better
feeling on the part of business men of all
character and decidedly In the case of the
retailers. The writer crossed the state of
Iowa twice during the past week and ob
served that the crops looked nourishing and
fully as far advanced ns could be reasonably
expected.
"All Indications point to the conclusion
that the bridge differential will be settled
In the very near future , and. If the signs
are rightly read , the decision will be In
favor of Omaha. Collections remain about
the same as last week. There haye been
no heavy failures and none In Immediate
prospect. It might be said In conclusion
that unless something at present entirely
unforseen transpires Nebraska Will this
year be blessed with ns an abundant a crop
an she haw ever had , and that the fall will
see n complete revival In all lines of busl
ness.
"The Int of May Is rapidly approaching ,
and there seems to be a. decided movemen
nmo'ng the.wholesalers In all lines of busl
ness , headed by the bankers , to close busl
ness at 1 o'clock. There are arguments fo ;
and ngalnst the advisability of this move
ment , but I believe that the decided weigh
Is In Its favor. There Is but little that car
be said against It except that there can
a few more hours' work gotten out of
employer and employe. It Is the expert
enco of the New York business public tha
the making of Saturday afternoon from
o'clock a legal holiday and the closing o
all business has not detracted In the slight
cst degree from the amount of buslnesi
done , but , on the contrary , business , If any >
thing , has been bettered. An extra holiday
now and then Is appreciated by both the
employer and employe , and It Is to be
hoped that the 1 o'clock closing will be gen
eral among the Jobbers of Omaha. "

Dan's Manager Finds Much tlmt l CheerIng -
Ing In Present Cmirtltlom.
The local manager of the mercantile
agency of n. G. Dun & Co. for the Omaha
dl.itrlct. in his weekly talk upon trade con
ditions , says :
"Notwithstanding the fact that Nebraska
and western Iowa nre In the dumps by rea
son of last season's crop failure , trade in the
wholesale district continues quite good. This
is especially true of boots and shoes , dry
goods , hardware and groceries. The trav
elers in the immediately tributary sections
are not selling large orders , but the local
merchants are buying to meet necessities
with more snap and vigor than heretofore
and hope Is big In the minds of most po-
ple , and business Is quite promising. One
of our Implement houses shows 115,000 In
cash sales for April as u result of the In
creased confidence of the farmers since
the rain fell.
"No concerted action has yet been taken
In Nebraska to induce Immigration. Per
haps it Is too much to expect that business
men should strive to direct a movement
hlthcrward bsfore the crop Is assured. Nev
ertheless it Is Important that the prelimi
nary steps be taken. The south. California ,
Wyoming , Colorado and Idaho are hard at
work and results have already been
achieved. The movement to the south Is *
especially pronounced , In a single article
In a Chicago paper mention Is made of more
than $1.000,000 Invested by capitalists of that
city In Texas , and we all know that Florida
and Alabama have attracted many , many
millions In the past few years. Nebraska
Is In the great business belt ot the con
tinent and possesses unrivalled resources
and unparalleled attractions for the enter
prising homcseekJr. but we cannot afford to
rely solely upon natural advantages. The
procession Is moving , nnd somebody should
be leading it toward these fertile prairies.
"Locally , trade Is quiet In nearly all
retail circles , though dealers In necessities
have comparatively little reason for com
plaint. The early spring Is stimulating
btiildlng- enterprises , nnd when the crop is
safe a marked change may be expected.
People nre too prone to be disheartened by
cnhimltlex. They should take heart In the
past experience of the atnte nnd base cal
culations on the absolute ccrtnlnty of nn
early return of prosperity. What other state
or community In the union could bear up so
bravely ns Omaha nnd Nebraska under the
welsht of a disaster which cut short the
llnanclal proceeds of a year's business by
anywhere from JW.UOO.CO ) to J100.000.000. Ne
braska's crop in a coed season represents
these larpe figures ami wes e.-n Iowa reaches
almost as many. If we can pull through
safely under such conditions it is easy to
see that we shall be on the top tlit'lf of n
new era of growth and development when
this year's crops nre Karnercd.
"Illinois Central talk Is again on the
street , but union depot conversation Is In
whispers. The Commercial c-lub has done
well by purchasing the Miirilt Gras lloats
from New Orleans , nnd will now set Itself
at work to devise nn original and an In
teresting carnival as one of the attractions
for state fair week. What may be done in
this direction Is well illustrated by I-a
Fiesta In Ixis Ancelts. This Is the second
year only of the unique idea , and It has
already achieved national notoriety ami

Wheat Was Again on the Jump and Closed
Higher.
CORN VMS QUITE DULL BUT FIRM
In tha Speculative Market for that Cereal
1'rlcea Opened About One-rlgbtU

Ve tcril y.
CHICAGO , April 27. Wheat was again on
the Jump today , and after n warm session
closed with July lic higher , Shorts cov
ered freely , scared , It was said , by the smallness -
ness of supplies. Corn gained % c , oats ytc
and provision * closed slightly higher.
Wheat was wanted nt the opening nt He
ndvance over Friday's closing prices. There
were plenty of Hellers nt that advance for
a few minutes , but when It was found that
icre were buyers for all that was offered
nd a hungry crowd still shouting for more ,
oilers became scarce. The latter responded
eluctnntly to the higher and still higher
rices which the eagerness of purchasers
nduccd them to bid , so that It was not
ntll from Gi&c to G2T c nt the opening for
uly wheat It had risen to Glc and over
hat there was anything like enough of-
erad to satisfy the demand. There was
ot much excitement accompanying the
dvance , but It took evident straining to
epresa It. The Impelling reason for the
ay's strength was not prominent In the
ews Items , but the bulls said it was the
carclty of wheat in the country , und polnt-
d ns proof of the fact that elevator men
old 150,000 bu. early In the session today to
go to the Interior millers. Kansas City
vlred that wheat on ths track there waa
irlnglng tie , and , notwithstanding today's
dvance. Chicago was still the cheapest
vheat market In the country. The usual
tatistlcal news of the day was bearish
nd the weather was favorable. The week's
learances from both coasts amounted to
OJoo : bu. less than on the week before.
Offerings were scarce throughout the scs-
lon and shorts covered liberally. It was
umored that Pardrldge covered a big line
* nd Cudahy also covered. Estimates of the
decrease In the visible supply on Monday
vere far apart , ranging from a decrease of
,000,000 to 2,500.XX ( ) bu. The market kept
3ii the boll up to the end. and having
cached GIVlc could not be got below that
'or more than n minute or two at a time
ind closed at 64'&c bid.
Corn was dull , but llrm , and apparently
under the guidance of wheat. Sales were
reported by one firm of 1SO.OOO bil. of No.
3 nnd 150.CCO bu. of No. 3 yellow , nnd It was
said that probably as much as 500,000 bu.
n all were disposed of fur shipment. In
he speculative mark't prices opened about
( , c higher than they closed yesterday , and
n the end July left off at 4ST c , as 'Com
pared with 48c on Friday afternoon. May
closed at 4SV4c , nyalnst 17Vic yesterday ,
tccelpta were ii'JT cars.
Only u fair buslnsss was transacted in
oats. Kxchanging constituted thtf greater
part of the trading. May started at 2c ! ) ,
sold at 2ST4c , up to 20c and 2914 nnd rested
He above yesterday's last quotation' . The
Irmer feeling was principally the result of
sympathy with wheat and corn. .
The provision market was very dull , anil
luctuatlons were conlltied to a nnr-
: ow range. The run of hogH for next week
s estimated at 120,000 bend , nnd that up-
icared to quench the bullish sentiment of

CATTI..H There were twenty-two loads ot
cattle retried received today , as ngalnst
thirty-four ears yesterday. The receipts
were somewhat larger than nt the close of
last week , but of the twenty-two loads hero
live loads were consigned direct to a p.u-ker ,
so that the actual offerings on the maiket
were not much greater ni tor all. Of tin1
cattle here about one-half wore beef steers ,
and some of them right good cornfed na
tives. One load of steers was good enough
to bring $ o.r > 5 , the highest price paid on this
market In some time. Another bunch
brought $5.20 , and still another load 13.15. A
large proportion of the steers hori1 sold ut
$1.73 to $1.115 , The market was fairly active ,
and In most cases salesmen thought tht-y
got a , little higher priced than yesterday.
The week closes with the market 25c higher
than It opened , but prices are still .Wo to 4'V '
lower than the high time.
In the way of cows nnd heifers there was
not much here upon which to base un esti
mate of the market. One loud of cows
brought $3.00 , and a load of heifers $1.20.
Aside from these two loads the sales re-
porled were mostly of odds and ends , one or
two head In a place.
The feeder market was very poorly sup
plied , but , ns usual on a Saturday , there
was no very active demand. It Is claimed
that quite a number of feeders that have
been lieM back awaiting some Improvement
In the market will be Milpped In the coming
week. Some dealers tire looking for quite
n liberal run of this class of cuttle dm Inn
the early part of the coming week. Hcpi-c-
