decidedly lower than at1 the opening. Theie
was n feudden nnd unexpected rcnctloi
nftcr the top point of the year wns rcachei
last March , There were various contrlbut
Ing causes for that , Including general linn
times , weak foreign demand , low price
for other klnd of stock , but none wns
more potent than the wldely-heinldcd allc
gallons of the secretary of agilculture
nbout there being a beef trust to advance
the price of beet bevond llgurea that poor
people could pay. The allegations had the
widest possible circulation. While the tat
tie supply was so shoit ns to make dealers
look for extravagant prices , the people got
the Impression that beef wns dear nt nny
price , and so prices steadily moved down
ward nftcr the first quarter of the year
closing at the very bottom. The ceonom

The tide at last has turned , and the
mnrket appears to be working toward n
higher plane , but whether the Improvement
Is permanent or only spasmodic , remains
to be rcen , though the best Informed cattle

better times In the cattle-producing states
OMAHA JOBBING TRADE.
In the Jobbing district business has movet
along In about the usual channels without
Incident of Importance , and trade has been
largely on the routine order.
The volume of business Is fnlr , though
there Is no decided gain over the previous
week , nnd Jobbers as a rule report condi
tions ns favorable ns expected. Collections
nro not very good , but they are holding up
pretty well.
Most houses report n good trndo In the
western states , espsclally Colorado , and the
field will be thoroughly covered by Omaha
Jobbers.
The clearings of the Omaha banks show
some Improvement over last season , which
would seem to ben' ' out the statements ol
most houses that they are doing more bus
iness than they \vere a year ago.
BOOTS AND SHOCS.
In every section of the country but this
the weather this winter has been all that
the shoe trade could desire. Snow , nln aril
frost have followed each oth3r In rapid
succession to produce the conditions calcu
lated to stimulate the demand for rubber
goods and foot wear of all kinds.
The mild weather that has prevailed In
Nebraska has been a greit drawback to
trade In this particular line , but btlll there
In as much business doing1 as could veil be
expected. Retailers have purchased very
conservatively and stocks In the country
nro generally small , so that with the com
ing of an Improved retail trade there ought
to be a revival In a jobbing way.
There seems to be a general understand
ing that sole leather has touched the lowest
point and a slight rebound Is anticipated.
Old experienced dealers say they never
knew hides to be so scarce at country points
The conviction Is gratlually growing upon
the leather and shoo trade that a limit has
been reached In the supply of hides. Mean
while new uses for leather aio constantly
being opwicd. There Is consldcrab'o di
versity of opinion as to the future of hides
and leather. Some of the most conserva
tive tanners appear to think that values
will neither advance nor decline greatly dur
ing 189G.
DRY GOODS PEOPLE HOPEFUL.
Only a fair business was transacted by
the dry goods people during the past week ,
but for all that they arc looking forward
to a large spring" trade. The retail trade
In this territory has been buying very
conservatively for the past year or more ,
and a very small quantity of goods has
been cnrrled over from ono season to the
next , so thnt the Jobbers lime reason to ex-
pct a good business.
The market on cotton nnd woolen goods
has been very quiet the past week and no
material change In values Is noted. At
primary points the demand for goods ap-
to bo very light and there Is a good
Sfears of complaint as to the indifferent char
acter of the trade ,
f BARREN OP FEATURES ,
'The hardware trade of the past week has
been barren of features of any Importance.
Business has moved along In the well worn
grooves without any friction nnd without
any changes to attract the attention , cither
In the character of the trade or In mar
ket values
Aa a general thing local houses report
the year as starting out with a better trade
than the previous : year.
GROCERY TRADE UNCHANGED.
While some houses report a llttlo more life
In trade the past week the generality of re-
port9 agree that bushiest ) Is Just about holdIng -
Ing Its own and that"trado conditions are
not materially changed cither ono way or
the other. Stock taking has absorbed a
good deal of attention and the work con
nected with that important event Is hardly
completed ,
The market has not been prolific of
changes , there being a strong tendency on
the part of values to continue In about
tnn mme notches as a week ago.
The prices of dried California Bartlett
pears me now fully CO per cent higher than
they wcro a year ago. Canned pears , of
which the pack wns relatively short In
1894 , are held at about the same prices au
they were a year since.
It Is icported that the totnl shipments of
dates from the 1'erslnn Gulf for this sen-
EOII were less than f 0,000 boxes , against
over 700,000 In the. previous year , with re
sults that the stock carried over In London
is email.
An enthurlastlc irrlgatlonlst In the west
ern part of the state writes to the 1'rcss
of the great prollts In growing pop-coin.
Locnl Jobbers say that so long as the corn
IB grown on contract for some seed houtro
it may be all right , but the producers
would llntl It a discouraging task to sell In
the opoi market. Tlio price , usually quoted
nt about 1 cent per pound , looks very allur
ing , but the trouble Is that the consump
tion In EO veiy small.
Reports fiom Gloucester and Bos
ton continue to Indicate nn unusually
Bmall stock of salt fish of all de
scriptions. Bo far as mackerel Is concerned ,
there is a smaller supply than has been
known for many years at this season , and
there la the prospect now that llttlo more
will bo added to It , as the supply of Irish
In the primary market , la said to bo nbout
exhausted. Cod , to which buyers turn
their attention when mackerel la scarce
and high. Is beginning oven now to be
Inquired for , although holdersdid not look
for much business until shortly before the
advent of the Lenten searon. The supply
of cod la reported to bo much lighter than
usual at this time of the > car. The email
Mocks of cod and similar tlsh have caused
a firm feeling In the market , without pro
ducing an actual advance. Holders , however -
over , are hopeful of an early Improvement
in market values now that the demand is
beginning to manifest Itself ,
In most markets of the country nprleots
are about the only article of canned Cali
fornia fruits of which anything like a fair
supply exists , and that Is duo to the fact
that the high prices demanded as a result
of a light crop and small puck have com
pelled buyers to leave this fruit alone.
Cherries are almost entirely out of market
and plums are scarcely obtainable. Peaches ,
particularly lemon clings , are in exceedingly
small supply.
MANUFACTURERS WORKING HARD.
The manufacturers of the state are doing
all that they can to secure what trade
la to be had In their lines and to keep as
much money at home as possible. During
the paEt week the secretary of the associa
tion visited Fremont and called upon the
different retail houses for the purposeof
talking liomo Industry tuid incidentally ask
them 10 ptil In nny lines of homemade
Itootia tlial Ihey tnlpht tint have In Mock nt

It would be nn easy matter to bring them

n'l their cigars of them.
The miiiiufnttuicrs of brooms nrc com
plaining that the demand for their line of
goods Is the worst In the history of the
tiade. Last year1' ! crop of broom corn was
vc-rj large , especially In Nebraska nnd oth r
western states , while there was a natural
falling oft In the demand for the manu
factured good-j. on Ing to the general de
pression affecting nil lln" > of business ,
ratmcrs found It Impossible to dispose of
their coin , cvon nt the \ery low prices pre
vailing , nnd In n gient many case- * em
ployed men to work tip their crop Into
broom" , which they dl po e of as best th y
tan , clllng them out to the country stores
nnd peddling them nround the country.
This fins cut down the demand nt the regu
lar factories until the trade , ns noted

condition.

CHICAGO. Jan. 11. The largo northwest
ern receipts was the prlnlcpal feature In
the wheat market today. With vigorous
bear rolling it knocked from Uc to % x
off yesterday's closing prices , Corn clo cd
asc lower and oats ' , Jc lower. 1'ork lost 7'ic ,
lard 74c ! , and ribs 2 < c to Cc from last nit lit.
Wheat opened rnther stronger than It
closed yesterday , due to the small ship
ments thl1) week from Argentine nnd to an
advance of U < 1 In the prlco of American
wheat In Liverpool , In the face of the de
clines hero on the day before. Uut the do-
IKerles In the northwest were Inrge C8I
cars , against 398 cars on the same day last
week and the exports for the week from
both roasts were about 590,000 bu. less than
the week before. There seemed to be a
growing suspicion that the war news had
been overworked nnd buyers vcre cautious
nbout making Investments. Some of the
big operators were disposed to raid the mar
ket , nndi the prlco gradually yielded. The
locnl receipts were larger than expected ,
nnd there Is a liberal estimate for Monday.
Judge Tulcy'fl decision In favor of the con
tention of the elevator proprietors tint the
Btnto warehouse commissioners had over-
Flf-pped their power In licensing elevators
wns tnld to have had some Influence In pro
ducing the heavy feeling In the miiket
which prevailed , after the first few minutes
of tha session. Mny started nt from HTJtc to
fi&sjc. Fold momentarily nt COc , and then
gradua'ly down to from 59V4c to C94c ? near
the close , and the latest trading was at
C9c.
Corn opened firm In sympathy with the
strength In wheat at the name time , but
turned down again -when wheat did. The
lowest quotations were being made as the
ti ailing wa > being drawn to n clo e. May
opened at 2ST4c , sold for an Instant at 1-lCc
over that , nnd from 287ic to 29c It pindually
sank to 2S < c. with fiom 2SVic to 2SHc as
the closing rate.
Oats opened plow nnd tended downward
In sympathy with wheat and corn. Mny
sold from M&c to 19j&e to 19'ic , closing at
19Hc.
Provisions were Inclined to seek a lower
level after a rather firm stnit. At the close
May pork wns 12' c lower than it opened ,
and 7vie lower than It closed nt on the day
before , Mny lard and May ribs wound up
with a loss to each of Be for the day.
Heavier hog receipts for next week arc pre
dicted , and that was given as the rcasDn
for the weaker feeling which existed.
Ertlmated receipts for Monday : Wheat ,
90 cars ; corn , 870 cais ; oat ? , 193 cars ; hogs ,
41,000 head.

Is plain to be seen why the roeulnr bids for

down their balances , the average New York
Institution v\lll have no money to buy bonds

The Evening Post saja : The bnnk statement
today \-aa one of the most remarkable over
put out In New York City. T.ils certainly
Is net euiprlslnir In view of the thoroughly ab
normal situation The most Important fact dls-
cloeed by the returns , however , la an Increase-
In specie and tender holdings for the week of
$7,316 POO. The gain goes fai to adjust the known
conditions and the veiy iltllclont showing of
tie gnlns In last week , as reflected In Satur
day's bnnk statement. The Increase reported In
the two bnnk statements of last Snturdiiy nnd
today l $ S,7SS 310. It Is veiy probable- tint
the difference between these sums or part of It
Is attributable to legal tenders taken out to
withdraw gold from the treasury. On the w.iole
today's bank statement must be considered favor
able , certainly so when contrasted with Inet
week's showing. The stoclc inarltu , so far as
It reflected nny Judgment , did not seem to look
favorably on the statement. At nil events
prices held firm , on a languid trading , until
the bnnk figures appeared , and then declined
Immediately for nil Important stocks to the
opening or lower. This wns perhaps n partlnl
icsult of Inferences drawn from the heavy lonn
contraction. London did little In this market
and that was chiefly selling. Its operations gave
no ulevv to the probable course of prices nt the
settlement next week.
The Evening Post's London cablegram FOJS :
The bonds nnd rharvi deposited here In pursuance
suanceof the Rending icc.rKanlzatlon scheme

Holiday l > iircIinHt > N Diliot Take All
the SnriiluM Wealth.
With the ending of the holidays the re
tail trade of the city was generally looking
forward to the commencement of a very
dull period. Tney had It all figured out
that as the people were buying quite freely ,
nnd as money was not so very plentiful In
the city , that no ono would have any money
to .spend or would feel like buying any
thing after the holidays were passed. While
as a matter of fact there has been a con
siderable falling off In business , as was to
be expected with the ending of the holiday
season , trade has held up much better than
was expected. Most nouses engng'd In
the retail line report that they are selling
more goods than they expected to , and that
they have been pleasantly disappointed.
From now on a good , steady business Is
anticipated , which , under ordinary condi
tions , ought to lait until the coming of
spring.

Tlio market ns u whole wnu In uooil shape
and valtica wcio vciy satisfactory KO far ns
the soiling Interests were roiiccrncd.
The mnrket on fnt rattle WOB hatdy ! ns
good ns yesterday , vnhtoi belnir In most
cases a lltlc canter , unless It might ho on
sorrclhlni ? especially desirable. Whllo the
Undo was fairly nctlve nnd everything wns
sold by the middle of thn forenoon , the
buyers were not so anxious for the cattle
as they have been. The , wire cdRo was
gene from the mniket , but still It left the
trade In pretty decent shnpc. There were
a few steers In the yards good unoimli to
brliih' $4 10 nnd $ l. 0.
The trmikct on butchers' Mock was rea
sonably nctlve and the offerings were nil
taken early nt about yesterday's prices.
Stockera nnd feeders were In fufr ruitlest
for a Saturday , but there were , ns usml
of late , very few on pale. The prices p.ild
hhowed a gpod , strong mnrket.
It has been a great week for those having
cattle to cell. After being In the dttmp
c\er since before the holldn > s , the market
took on new llfo and pi Ices phot upward
all of a sudden. For months pist cattle
sellers have been calling attention to the Uii.
mlstnkublo t-hortagc In cattle , but they
have failed to convince or Interest the buy
ers. The shortage of money Ins compelled
feeders to unload their cnttlc at a rate
that has kept the markets of the country
well annulled , hut nt the same time has
rcducid th sur. 1m In the country. It SC.TS
ns If bu.vera have nil of a sudden come to
icnllze the true situation and the competi
tion between them Is responsible , In n great
degree , for the sharp advance In values
At the close of the week values are all of
ZR'iJSOc higher than on Monday and Tues
day.
day.All kinds of cattle have felt the Improve
ment , but the advance has been the great
est on thJ 1 cst grad s of d e'sed 1 est tteo-s.
Cows , holfera and butchers' stock of all
kinds have sold freely nml at advanced
prices. Stockers and feeders have also ad
vanced and the demand has been peed for
this season of the year , but the number of
cattle of that description coming has been
hniall nnd the business necessarily light.
