THE OMAHA DAILY 1EE : STJN,1j > AT , DECEMBER 0 , 1SHG. CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Local Jobbers Generally Eoport a Very Pair Business Doing. COUNTRY COLLECTIONS NONE TOO GOOD AVIlltiT CooiN ( inltlK > < < > Conmiitiii- tlnii Mil re ltiiililly | 'I'liuti n Yonr , \H' > Soulli ( Ininliii'H Un- i iiNinilly HUH } ' Work * From tlio jobbers * standpoint business Is progressing healthfully. Collections nro Htcndlly Improving , which menus Unit the retail nicrchiuitH uro nulling more goods for ciiHh , but there ? Is plenty at room for Htlll further Improvement aloiif ? that line. Sloney Is becoming n. llttlo more plentiful In the country owing to thu forwarding to milrkel of fat stock. The cold weather has greatly invroimud thu demand for nil kinds of seasonable poods In the country nnd incrchantH without exception report n largo trade In Much lines as cups , gloves nnd mittens , boots , rubbers nnd arctics , underwear nnd heavy clothing of all kinds. litiHlnesg In thc o lines Is much better than R year ago at this time , largely as a re sult of the Bovcro weather which has ar rived at nn earlier dale this year than usual. Whllo there Is no boom In business , local Jobbers express themselves as very well pleased with the Improvement that has taken place within the past thirty days , and no one appears to be disposed to llml itny fault with present conditions. In the line of hardware there Is a much liealthltr feeling dlsccrnltite , a.id the vol ume of business doing Is very fair for the Benson. Kxtenslvo Improvements or build ing operations of any Importance nru not to bo expected at this time , or until lifter there has btvn a more complete revival of all other Industries , so that It Is cer tainly encouraging to be nblo to report a very' satisfactory movement of goods com ing under the head of hardware. The breaking up of tin * pool controlling the price of nails and the consequent drop In the market has had a beriotlclnl effect upon the sales. Some Idea of the Influence. exerted by the pool may bo gained from the fact that thirty days ago UK- price of nails wns JI.50 pur keg higher than at thu present tlrno. GIIOCHIUKS AND DKY GOODS. The grocers nil report n very good busl- ness doing In nil sections of tributary tcr- rltory , but more especially In some of the westi/rn states. At most Jobbing points , especially In the east , the reports arc that the dry goods trade In not satisfactory , tint on the con trary that It Is decidedly cull. In many localities this Is ascribed to the condition of the weather. At this point , however , the weather has been fnvornMc. and the demand for heavy goods hns been Htlniu- lated to an extent that has rendered tlu total volume ; of business doing of very fair proportions. In tin * line of boots nnd shoes a good deal of activity has been manifested. All local Jobbers reported n most excellent trade for November , while the present month has opened under most favorable conditions. Stocks In the country wcr very light , and the early arrival of cold and Htormy weather created an urgent demand for heavy goods. Overshoes and lined boots nnd felt goods of all kinds have been great Hellers. The jobbers of rubber goods especially have been enjoying a very active trade With them It has not been a question o Belling goods , but of securing the goods to well. A few weeks ago It wns Impossible. for thu manufacturer to get any one to look at rubbers. The retailers seemed to think that the hot and dry weather wn destined to Inst forever , nnd Jobbers did no feel like taking too much risk In the mat ter. Thc consequence was Hint the mill were without orders and stocks were al lowed to remain at the low water mark The coming of cold weather found stocks It nil sections of the country depleted , nne since then there has been a great scramble .to secure goods. Thu big factoiles In the cast arc running full force nnd straining every nerve to Increase the output , ant Btlll sotno * > < > ople may have tp do withou rubbers for a time. SOUTH OMAHA DOI3S WKLL. 'Tho past week has witnessed great ac ttvlty In the stork market at South Omaha consequent upon thu largely increased ro celpts. No great gain had been anticipate In the volunm of stock coming forward thl month , so that the sudden Increase In th run wns something In the nature of a stir prise. The packing house * , however , wcr prepared to inku part ! of everything rocclvce nnd the receipts , large as they were , wcr all absorbed on the day of arrival. The fact Is that the receipts of stock a South Omaha have been much too small al the. time nnd the packers have been forcec to buy largely In other markets In ordc to supply the demand for meat products Such an Increase as the past week wit nesscd would bo greatly appreciated If I could be maintained right along. COUNTHY 1'HODUCB. The market on country produce has beet rather quiet during the period undo review. As usual. Immediately after i holiday , the demand for poultry ha been very small nnd that of It self removes a good deal of trad from the market. The egg market bus bee very ( Inn nnd fresh slock scarce ut unj -irlco. The butter market has been stron and the last of the week the creanierle notified their patrons In the city that the would advance the prlco Immediately to i point uhlch will make good creamery but ter cost the consumer 25 to SS cents pc pound. Such nn advance seldom falls to re duoo the consumption , nnd retail dealer look upon thu move as a most unwise one as It drives consumers lo the use of cheapo grades of dairy butter , or to Imtterlne. t thu great detriment of tlio creameries an the dealers In fancy creamery goods. It I pointed out that feed Is very cheap am labor low , so that the cost of yromiclim creamery butter can not be very much It excess of what It was a month or two ago. OMAHA MAUKHT.

LIVERPOOL NEWS CAUSES SOME STRENGTH I'rlvntiItriiortN from Unit Source lu ll lento I'lirthcr Heavy llniit- IIK'N to CrniiH Corn IN Unite Dull. CHICAGO , Dec. 5. Wheat today recov ered part of Its severe loss of yesterday. May closing nt n Hie advance. Various In- Iluoncen contributed to the strength , among them being a large cash business. Corn and oats were dull and Inclined to weakness , but show lllltle change. Provisions declined from 2'io ' to 5c. The news from Liverpool gave n strong lone to the opening of the local market to day. That market pnld but slight attention to the 3e per bushel decline which occurred licro yesterday. Spot wheat was marked down Vid per cental , but tlio prices of fu tures wore quoted H unchanged. Argentine * tine news wiu > evidently behind the Indiffer ence1 of Liverpool to the Chicago decline. Private cablegrams reported further dam- ace to the crops of that country by heavy rains , nnd that there was no reason to doubt that the next crop In Argentina would bo no hotter than that of the season now end- Ing. The consequence was that May , which closed Filday at from Sd c to Sic. found buyers at the opening at from Sl'.ic to & ! c , ami after a reaction to Sllte advanced le per bushel to S2- % , reaching the latter point about nn hour from the end of the day's short session. There were other strong fea tures lo the day's Btatistlcal news , among them being a peed local demand for car- lo.ida from country millers and Ihe an nouncement of 2CO.COO bu. , consisting of spring and No. 3 red having been sold late yesterday afternoon for shipment by lake and rail to thu seaboard.

Today's limited fpecu- Inllon was Irregular In movement , but the changes were In most instances unimportant , libido from the ppcclaltlCB. This lat > l clans .van affected by Independent Influences. The market was clearly professional , and the trend of prices mainly downward. The declines were Inter rupted at Inlcrvals by purchases lo cover vhorts. The Initial dentines Bhoueil losses generally In part occasioned by the Inlluencc In the I ndon market for American Eecurlllen. A rally hoon occurred , under the leadership of the IndUR- trlals. Union Pacific dlcplayeil activity nml streiiKth , nnd rose 14 per cenl In connection with the resumption of efforts by strom ; financial Intcreuls lo iiKllute the qucsllon of aselllemcnt of the company's ilebt lo Iho government. In the llnal ilenllncs some stocks saKKeil sharply. particularly Tobacco. The present plethora of money caused a favorable bank statement. The nmikct clo.icd heavy al fractional ncl con- ceEnlons generally , llullwuy bonds were active , bui Inclied fcnlure. Flrnmebi was almost en- cnilly noted , but declines occurred In several IKSUC8. International and Great Northern tec- ondu lost H4 per rent , Tlio sales were J1.1W.OOO. The market durliiK the week was dominated by the Interest ntlaclilnR lo the forlhcomliiR session of ronures.1 and the ( irobablc tenor of the president's mcsK.iEe louchliiK upon Ihe Cuban question , Ix-ndlnu Interests were content to re main passive until the oullook was mure dellnlle , nnd tills fact wns Improve : ! by thu operators for it decline , their special efforts belne directed against the Industrial group. The market was unfavorably affected by more or less constant liquidation In the specialties and tllscouracltiK exhibits of railway earnings. Forclmi dealers cabled moderate eclllm ; orders In the leading International shares. The tpeclaltles were the features of the speculation , however , and fluctu ated rapidly , wllh n downwanl ircml. The Blocks of Iron and iteel companies were depressed , The extreme case In money rates , receding to H IHii ? per cent baels , which would ordinarily rllmulute activity In stocks , Involved nn advance In ster ling rales , which occasioned dltcusulon regarding the probability of n resumption of gold exports from this country. The theory dues not find wide acceptance , owing to the unusually favorable International trade poiltlon of tlio United States and the large sums of money that have been loaned lo ICurope. In addition to the Inlluences noted , the subsidence of nc- tlvlly In the railway bond department nnd the lighter movement of gialn to the f onboard were claimed by the h-nri > to foreshadow dcci end ing bull prospects. Hugar wan depressed , with a view toward Influencing the general list , In cim- necllon wllh thu reported Impending starting up of the Independent Arbucklo refinery. The market mrrnglnened us the week progressed , and a wider distribution of tnc dealings was noted , Commlttlon houfo buying became evident , nnd nn Increased Inquiry for gilt-edged securities , Improvement also occurred In the to-called mis * cellaneous clocks. Kugxesllons of favorable prospecls for dividends on somu of Ihe low priced stocks helped to an Improving tendency of the market and were lo an extent homo out by the declaration of a 1 per cent disbursement on Uoulhern railway preferred. This action wns considered especially significant of confidence entcrlrlned by the powerful Interests connected with the property , us to the Improved rule situation In the south nnd the general business outlook. I'oreliin operator * changed front In tha closing half nf tlio week nnd repur chased n conslilcrable proportion of the stocks prevloutly fold. Including those of the rcor- KunlzcJ properties. The Indications , of early ac * tlon of the usual December dividends on tlio Vumlcrblll properties Induced n brisk demand for those shnrrs , whlc-li , In turn , gave tnno In Ihe oilier regular dividend piyrru.
