The past week lias failed to brlni ? forth
nny very material change In the local Job
bing situation. In tonic lines there may be n.
Rlleht Improvement , -whllo In others there
la a auillclcnt falling off to mnko up for It ,
03 that the Renernl nvcroec of trnde has
not been altered to nny great extent.
As a rule the retail trndc In dependent
territory Is reported rather quiet. Consum
ers nro buying only such goods as they are
compelled to have , and merchandise Is not
Kolng Into consumption as rapidly as In
terested parties would like to fee. Owing
to the tendency on the part of consumers
to practice the strictest economy In the
matter of making purchases the demand
for anything but Reasonable goods and the
absolute necessities Is very light.
Money In the country Is still pcarce , and
consequent upon that fact collections con-
) lnuo slow In all lines of business. Even In
those- sections of the country where largo
farm crops were grown money Is far from
ticlng plentiful , as producers have preferred
to hold their crops to' Rolling them at the
yery low prices current so far this fall and
winter.
Livestock Is nbout the only Item of farm
produce that Is moving to nny extent and
there has been quite a considerable Increase
In the number of cars forwarded by Ne-
braHka growers during the past two weeks.
In that respect the nltuntlon may b said
to be improving1 , and considerable money
will be carried Imek Into the country as a
result of the sales.
BOOTS AND SHOKS.
The boot and shoe trade of the pa t week
haa been nil that could bo asked for , and
the Jobbers In that line have been about the
busiest men In the wholesale district of
the city. Iletnllera have bsen holding their
order * , and the unusually cold and severe
\Vofttlior of the past week has found them
unprepared for the largely Increased de
mands on the part of their customers , and
accordingly they have bsen forced to send
' " orders with a request thnt they bo rushed
o"u t us noon ns possible , Rubber goods , espe
cially , have been In a very good demand
and the Jobbers have- had nbout all they
could do to take care of the trade that
has como In almost unsolicited during the
pnet two weeks.
In the east tho. situation IS until .to be 1m-
proving. There la a partial opening up of
factories that have remained closed for
Borne time , and preparations arc being mada
'tor a long run.
IN THE nnr GOODS MARKET.
In the- dry goods line business IB rather
gulet and no great activity Is anticipated
lor some little time. Goods. In a retail way
are going into consumption as rapidly as
could bo expected under present conditions ,
but the Jobber * do not anticipate much
until after the flrst of the year. At eastern
points there Is a good deal of complaint
nbout trade being very quiet , due lo part
to unfavorable weather. The light demdttd
. nt points of supply Is keeping the market
down , and buyers cannot complain that
values are excessive.
The tendency of the market on staple
cotton goods Is In the buyers' favor. Cotton ,
woolnn nnil wnrqtpil rlrpM fabrics nrn atnndv
( n price.
HARD\\'ARI3 TRADE FAIR.
In the hardware line the past week has
Hot been vary prolific of new features. The
volume of trade hns been fair , but not ma
terially changed from the previous week.
'As the end of the year draws In sight the
tendency of business Ig to narrow OoV.-n
Into the regular channel of seasonable
goods which are going Into consumption
quite freely.
In the matter of values the most Impor
tant fcaturo of the week Is the drop In barb
wire , owing to the troubles In the trust.
Manufacturers are looking for an Improved
demand for builders' hardware and are pre
paring for a revival In that line with the
coming of spring.
GROCERY TRADE STEADY.
There have been no changes of any very
jrrcat Importance In the condition of the
grocery trade of this city durlnir the nerlod
under review. The demand for goods has
not been large , but fully as good In most
canes ns It was for the previous \raek.
Sugar has shown some little Improvement
oil along the line. In provisions there Is Q.
Hllght decline. Lard has shown a little Im
provement. CoiTl syrtipS are easier.
Of the l.GfiO cars of lima be.ans dried In
California this srenson , It Is reported that
over 400 cars have already been shinned out
or the state.
There Is an active demand for Banned
plnenpplo. and the market Is advancing ,
The stock tn Baltimore has been pretty
yell cleaned up.
It Is claimed that there will be a shortage
In molasses nt Now Orleans of 40 per cent
In open kettle and 25 per cent In centrifugal
poods. Valuations are already relatively
higher and n further ndvnncfl la looked for
nfter the turn of the year. In view of the
trong appearance of th market many
planters will hold back at least one-third of
their cron for the Improvement expected
later In the season.
A report from San Francisco says that
the Sandwich Islands surjar crop promises
to bo extensive this Reason , and that a
large proportion Is quite likely to bo for-
wnnlw to the Atlantic coast. Thn story
further Hayti that Clnus Spreekcls Is now
negotiating with Hawaiian sOgnr planters
for a renewal of his contract to refine their
ougnr In 8an Francisco.
Reports are going the rounds to the effect
that there Is u movement well under way
. .to corner the market on California rnlslna
The r.tory In thnt Individual buyers In Ihe
eastern markets have been picking up the
locnl stocks and that California shippers arc
preparing to hold back supplies on the
coast , ns they become convinced that there
will bo very llttln competition from other
jiolutH , and that California will practically
linvo the market all to herself. Whether
the reported effort to corner the marknt Is
really being made remains to bo soon , The
market at the present time appears to be
V. little stronger.

The position of the cranberry matkit appears
o tie a very strong one. according to the New
York Journal of Commerce. Hectnt activity on
local account for th Thanksgiving trade has
depleted local holdings materully and advices

tively light quantity for future needs. Western

JllUnS AND TALLOW.
In iv review of the hide situation the She and
Leather Ilovlew of Chicago rays that th country
hlda market Is still soft and Impressionable. Tim
dealer * move ? cautiously and evince little faith
In future values. Whenever changes of quota
tions occur they Indicate a declining maikct ,
Nothing , however , lins transpired to change the
oft-rcpenteil postulate that hides ara In limited
supply. Indeed , the small stocks of hides obtain
able at country points have been a Icadtnn feature -
turo of the situation for months. The local hide
dealer * have b n constrained to lower their
quotation * with this special view of deprcMlnit
the vlsws of country Lutchers and hide ciJIectora ,
There Is , however , today fully as much trouble
at the selling as at the buying end , Tanneis , as
n rule , are nversa to buying hides at am' prlca
until the leather outlook becomes brighter.
Packer hide values have declined 42 8-10 per ce < it
slnco July and are now lower thnn nt this time
In previous years. The quotations nro , however ,
Hill CO per cent higher than the lowest point
touched during the panic period of 1SD1. There
Is a , general feeling that prices have receded
nbout in far as they are likely to KO. The supply
Is small when compared with the Immense stock *
of other years , but there Is n lack of commercial
courage that prevents capital from boldly taking
up the hi < ) i > 3 offered nnd carrying them until the
period when they will surely be wanted. The
tanners as a rule have had nil they could do In
holding their stocks of leather , Shoe nnd harness
manufacturers have accentuated and prolonged
the dull season with the special Intention of
crowding down the leather market. The policy
of neglect has been measurably successful and
buyers are becoming more plentiful In the leather
m.irkctn. The packers have made several large
sales of union solo leather In Boston , nnd the
Kcnernl opinion Is that a tree buying movement
has been Inaugurated. Quotations :

With the retail traaa of Omaha very few
merchants nre to be found who will not admit
that trndo la , upon the whole , rntlier qulot.
The people of the city are not bnylnir with
their old-time liberality , but the cornem are
cut here and there and everything pared
down to the smallest point possible. This
appcnra to bo the case with every line of
business. An a matter of course there la a
fairly steady demand for seasonable eooda.
and such Roods ore absolute necessities , but
asldo from that the volume of tales Is
small.
Now that the holiday season (9 ( near nt
hand , some improvement la qontiaetUJy ox
pooled by the retail trade In most nu lines.
The oxperlonco of past years , however , has
demonstrated that the holiday trade IB not
all clear train , ns It usually means more or
loss of a reduction on the regular lines of
merchandise , as buyers who Invest liberally
In Christmas good * try to make up for U
In part by cutting down on other things.
Consldcrinc the condition of trade the
stores have put In liberal stocks of holiday
goods and the assortment. It Is believed ,
will compare very favorably with that to
be found In any other city of the sama wlze

CHICAGO. Dec. T.-Mlieat opened nt
about ' .4o decline under yesterday's closing
rates , nnd for about twenty minutes cave
very slight slRns of recuperation. At the
end of thflt time , however , symptoms of
recovery became apparent. The Improve
ment wag very gradual at first , but before
the session was nn hour old the rise became
rapid , nnd from Cl ? o May advanced In n
hurry to from C2o to G2V c. The Ilrst trading
In It was nt from Cla8o to ClVfee , compared
with 1TS0 nt the close yesterday. The openIng -
Ing weakness had two or threa reasons to
justify It. The Liverpool market only re
sponded U'l ' per cental to the Chicago jump
of Ic per bu. yesterday. A private cable
gram from Liverpool'said : "Argentine crop
prospects favorable ; shipments of wheat
from Argentine for the week , 181,000 bu. , " nnd
what perhaps Influenced the early sellers
here as much as anything else watt thnt
the receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth
were more than 300 carloads In excess of
those on the corresponding day of the year
before. The rise which succeeded the opsn-
Inft decline hail also several good reasons
to support It. The price barely touched C2V60
on the advance when some of the big
bears Jumped Into the pit with clean tradIng -
Ing cars nnd 90011 had the selling side of
them covered. The market yielded to the
onslaught , nnd the price was soon crowded
VucU to GlUc. A recovery to Glic followed
and the latest trading was at from Cl o to
ul'JJc , against Cljto on the day before.
Corn was quiet nnd nearly featureless.
The locnl receipts were about as expected ,
but there was very little business. The
strength In wheat was about the only In-
Huence. May sold at from 29e to 29lic , nnd
closed nt 29c , December sold at from 2C > Jc
to 20ic , closing at 20sc.
Oats were slow , but showed some strength
In sympathy with wheat and corn , but got
easy later ns the other markets cased off.
May Bold at from 20V c to 20)5c , nnd Decem
ber at 17'ic.
Hog products were quiet , trade feature
less * and prices steady and without ma
terial change.
Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat ,
200 cars ; corn , 400 cars ; oats , 230 cars ; hogs ,

'
ment that tlio directors flf'thp American To

quarterly dividend on the preferred , had fotmally
passed the dividend on Jhtf Common shares. A
n > xl of selling orders , VVRU exrectctl nnd oc
curred. The first transnctlon recorded on the

thB low flguro representing n decllno of 9 points
from yesterday's clostns. A tally rn ue < l on-
tlrely on covering to 73. Fresh llquldntlon In
the last hour sent the price down 13 C7U. The
closlntf was nt the lowest nf the day nnd pro-
sentfil a net decline of IIH p"r cent. The
tran'scllona In thp stock footed up one-half of
tha entire dealings for the day. nnd amounted
In the flrst fifteen minutes of business nlonc to
I'.000 share. " . The preforrml stock Is dwn 2'S
PT ci-nt. The other lending Industrlnls dls.
Played considerable weakness nt the stntt , S URHI-
loslnir l i per cent , Leather piofcried 1 per cent
and Chicago Oas n liberal fraction. The con
cessions In the railway list were plight. Boon
nfter the opening a smart rally occurred , Buunr
recovered 2 % 1'er cent , Chicago Ons I'.i ' per cent
nnj oilier slinrrs fractions. The lencwoil attack
on Tobacco In the last hour excited n depressing
Influence i the general maikct , and particularly
the other Induitrlnls. l/rnther prcfeireil ami
Sugar stulalned lo rs of 1 > J per cent cnch , nnd
Chicago Ona nnd Manhattan 1 ptr cent. Rcnd-
ln t lint nearly a point. Speculation closed active
and weak. Thn aggregate sales were 1SC.SMO
shares. The Industrials were also the features
of the w fk's speculation. Sugar wild up 6 per
cent to 10 'i , receded to 102SV , rallied to IM'i nnd
clTKcnl with a net iraln ot 4'i per cent , ToUicco
made nn early gain of nlmnst 2 per cent to
S3U , then fell to TC'i , milled to 7fi'i , nnd on the
fficslnx nf the common dividend declined to
67H , closing nt the low point , and at a decline
of 14ft per cent.
Chicago On had an almost uninterrupted ad
vance during the week , the star gain being made
on Friday , when the stock Jumped 3 per crnt to
f9 i on the decision nf Judge Shownllrr In the
I'ltt-Unrrows caec. This decision was regarded
as practically removing nil legal obstacles to the
consolidation of the properties , ns well n.i block-
Imr the lonir-eanllmieil fnaciilatlon. This made
the full rind 7 per cent , on the following day
the price touched 70 and the stock cloard at CD ,
an advance on the week of C'S ' jmr cent.
The railway shares exhibited n drooping tend
ency. Ths president's message had no Important
effect on prices nnd the restoration of the divi
dend 00 Nnithwcslein common stock to ft 5 per
cent annual basis exerted only pushing Influence.
Reports of earnings of nome of the lending lines
which came to hand were regarded ns disap
pointing. Uncertainty a * to prospective financial
relief legislation , the continued gold evportx and
steady Belling of our Bocurltlrs for fnivlRn m1-
count , nil contributed to check Improvement In
stock prleca. The aggregate sales for the week
were 1,450,400 shares , of which totnl 'd nllngi In
Sugar , Tobacco , Chicago Ons and Leather com
prised 1,000,400 shales. Aside from the changes
in prices noted , Lacloilft Oaa preferred advanced
3 and Delaware .t Hudson 2 > i per rent. On th"
other band , Haltlmore & Ohio declined 4'.i per
cent and Rubber 2 per cent. The railway broil
market was dull and lower today. The transac
tions amounted to J4I > 9.000. The dealings In bonds
during the week were mcderale In volume nnd
the market hnd a sagging tendency , wltli same
irregularity of movement. . The aggregate sales
wcro 56,136.00i ) . Tha more Important lisses were
In Starch Ists , 4)i per cent , nnd Atclilsin , Colorado
rado & Pacific ISIB , 4H per cent. The chief ad
vance was In Galvealon , Houston & Henilcriin
IsW. G per cent. Government bunds displayed
mine Irregularity , but the variations xvere slight
and today's hlds were practically unchanged , ns
compared with the preceding week's close. The
rales were JI3.000. State iB-iues were quiet , with
tiansactlana aggregating J27.000.
The New York Financier pays this week : The
statement of nveragea of the associated Imnks of
New York City for the week ending December 7
hhows a continuation of the liquidation on loans ,
which has been a mnikerl fentuie of this state

7 Is only 10,000,00) In excess of the lowest point
recorded during the prc ent-ycnr , or on Aprlli C
last. Deposits , however , on that date were only
{ 300,000,000 , ns ogaln.it J5S1.COO,000 for the week
just ended. If the gold exports of Saturday had
been figured In the stntonient. deposits would
have shown a decrease , but 'the heavy movement
jl.Wj.COO In cash by the ITuTiks. The expansion
promises to continue for BOIIIO time to come. If
the domestic exchange llgures are n criterion.
Chicago quoted New York exchange early In the
week ui high ns E3o and OTe , and tharo have
Iwen advances elsewhere throughout thc went.
Although the recent Incrauio In express currency
rates may have hnd something to do with this ,
the movement towattl New Yoslc lins undoubtedly
developed strength , andjJhoJoanes through treas

Today , while the majority ot sales agents were
unwilling to make nny open cuts In prices , there
nre only a few , however , who nre holding out
at top prices. An a matter of fact n break of
' .So In n leading line of cottons , the lack nf support -
port from thc cotton maikct , nnd the conserva
tism of * ome buyers his had n disquieting effect
on the trnde. There wcie no developments In the
woslen division. Uncs In many heavy weight
goods which have been opened ttlll show Irregular
price conditions. The mniket for Imported dry
goods was dull for seasonable lines and pilces
ruled lircgular. Holiday specialties were In good
demand.

CATThH With only forty-four loads of
cattle the yards seemed nltnost dercrted.
It was n light run even lor a tsuturuay ,
only nbout hulf the number Doing on snlo
today that were hero a wotlc nco. The
llBht offerlnh's combined with tlio ufual
Saturday's dullness could hardly do other
wise than mnUe a very quiet nnii featureless
market.
In the way of dresssil beef cattle there
were some right ( rood heavy cornfed steura
on the market In addition to the usual
showing of half fat stuff. The market was
very dull und hardly steady. One bunch
of 1730-lb. bcevoH , tlu heaviest cattle KOCH
hero In some time , sold nt JI.2. , whllo
beeves weighing 1,400 or a little over went
nt J3.COS3.7U.
The course of the market hns
been downward thlH wei-k and at
the close prices nro fully ir > c to 25c
lower than at the opening of the week.
There Is a strons Inllucnca ut work nt thc
present time that IB decidedly nrcalnst the
cattle trade. In the first place the holiday
season Is ncnr at hand nnd It Is thc time
when poultry , oysters nnd Ram ! attract the
public appetite and beef Is ni'gleclod. Again ,
mutton and i > ork nre very low , and under
the Influence of the money strlnnency con-
mnnera nro Inclined toward the cheapest
meat , which cuts down the consumption
of beef Ptlll more. As a general thine cat
tlemen do not anticipate much activity In
the beet mnrliot until after the now year.
Cows and helfera wore In moderate supply
today and holders did not experience much
dinlciilty In securing nbout steady prices.
The market on butchers' stock has also ex
perienced u decided rovers ? the past week ,
but prices on that kind of stuff nro still
seed the way other cattle are selling.
Tuo or three straight loads and n few
oddn und ends constituted the fresh supply
of slockers ami feeders. There were not
enough to make any test of the market.
