An air of quietness has pervaded the job-
bin ; , ' district of the city dnrlitR the Krcatcr
portion of the past week. The trade Inci
dent to the holiday sonson was pretty well
over before the commencement of the week ,
and staple lines of merchandise were IICK-
loctcd to a considerable extent , as Is usual
at this season of the year. Still while there
was an absence of activity a fair amount of
biiHlnr-ss was disposed of , fully as law In
volume as could be expected nt this time.
As a rule local Jobbers report their sales
of holiday poods as fairly satisfactory. The
grocers bad a KOOI ! business In fancy dried
and canned fruits , nuts and other fancy
Roods , 'While the dealers In confections and
fresh fi nils experienced a considerable de
mand , Dealers In notions nnd all kinds of
fancy coeds have had a Kood business , and
1' Is safe to add that Omaha Jobbing houses
have furnished the jjrealer shnro of the toys
and Christinas coeds that will be s old by
tlio retail tradu located In tributary terrl-
°
'
Th'u mild weather has Klvcn the retail
trade of the city a broathltiK spell , and were
It not for the trade Incident to thu holidays
t.ow near at hand'business In the retail
district would be duchledly dull.
COM ) WKATIIKIl NEKDED.
Every merchant Is now praying for clear
cold weather for the week to come , and
unless thesu prayers are answered thu holi
day tr.ido may prove , In sonic degree , dis
appointing. It might Ftcm to the Inexperi
enced that each shopper would buy what
might be needed without icguril to the
weather , but every merchant , who keeps
clos'o account of the course of buslm ss
knows that losses resulting from unseason
able weather are seldom made up. A cer
tain day or week of the year , with favorable
weather , may bo expected to bring out a
certain amount of business ; If It storms * the
loss U never made good. Viewed In this
light It becomes apparent at once that the
matter of weather at the holiday season ,
which Is tlio greatest business period of
the. whole year. Is a most Important con-
Hlderatlon. Disagreeable or unseasonable
weather means the loss of thousands of dollars
lars to thu merchants of every city , anil the
damage lo the trade of the whole country
could easily run Into the millions. The loss
falls upon the retailers principally , as the
jobbers have already placed their goods long
beforn the condition of the weather for the
holiday season Is known.
Much of the shopping on Christmas week
Is from the country , and unfavorable
weather must necessarily cut off a very
large percentage from that source. As a
general thing merchants expect the largest
and most prolltablo business from the mid
dle classen during Christinas week , as the
wealthier buyers are not so apt to leave
their purchases until the last moment , and
then , too , there Is more profit In the sale of
a great many small and cheaper articles ,
such as are bought by the less wealthy
clasros. In one way stormy weather Is a
help to the small dealers as against the
large stores , In that buyers will lie more apt
to do their shopping as near homo ns pos-
slblu without taking the trouble to seek
those establishments having the largest
Blocks.
jRODUCB DISTRICT.
There appears to be a strong tendency on
the part of tlio produce triulu to shift about
the city , and hardly a year passes without
witnessing sonic change of location. The
produce business differs from many other
linen In ono respect nt least. Location docs
not cut much llgtiro with the volume of
trade. lUiyors go where fruit and produce
Is for sale , and a location on a back street
Is Just as good as the best corner In the
city. The two great requisites arc low
rentals nnd good collars , with plenty of
sidewalk room ; sidewalk space , In fact. Is
fully ns much of a necessity as space under
roof.
Ten years ngo the produce and fruit com
mission business was located along Knrnam
street. I'eycko Hros. htiil a largo establish
ment on lower Fnrnam street , then came
Uranch & Co. nt Pnrnnm nnd Twelfth
Btroots. wbllu Klrschbraun .t Son were lo
cated on Twelfth Htreuf , Just north of Far-
nntn , nnd 10. Mnronoy and Wlcdoniann .t
Co , n block south of Varnam. H. Purvis
John R Klack and \V. E. lUddoll were on
Fourteenth street. Just north of Fnrnnm.
On Doduo street , west of Fourteenth , were
located Whitney & Co. , Fearon & Cole and
D. A. Hurley.
While there was a good deal of shifting
about , the grnoral movement of the com
mission business was southvrnrd , until How
ard street , from Tenth 'to Thirteenth became -
came thu center of that branch of business.
At ono tlmo thu block from Twelfth to
Thirteenth was Klvcn up entirely to the
commission business ; In fact , the most of
the buildings on that block were designed
for that very purpose. At ono time a good
many llrms clustered about Thirteenth and
Hartley HtrcetM. Ileocntly the * movement
has been eastward , and during thu past
two years Klovcnth nnd Howard has been
the center.
With the coming of the. new year thcro
promises to be an exodus westward of
Bomn of the firms engaged In the fruit and
produce trade. Ilranoh & Co. will move
Irani 4 0 422 foath Eleventh street to 12)1-1203 )
Howard street. Williams & Cross will dls-
sotvo partnership and form two now linns.
The Williams end of the firm will ho
known In the future as Jacob Williams
H Son , and will move to 1217 Howard
ptreet. The other half of the firm will bo
ronverted Into Cross & Son. Other changes
will bo made , but locations are not dctcr-
mlnrtl upon ns yet.
MANUFACTURERS WIIiL EXHIBIT.
I-ast year Secretary Holmes of the Manu
facturers' and Consumers' Association of
Nebraska made It a practlco 'to ' attend the
farmers * Institutes held In different sections
af the state , taking advantage of the occa-
nlon to urge upon the farmnr.4 thu Impor-
tnni'o of encouraging the development of
the manufacturing Industries of the state
by every means possible , especially by giv
ing them n liberal patronage. This com
ing year a greater number of these- Insti
tutes will Ira held and Mr. Holmes has
arranged to attend them , not only as a
peakcr urging homo patronage , but also
In the capacity of an exhibitor , as ho will
bo supplied with samples of the products
of Nebraska factories and will bo prepared
to point out their good qualities to thu
farmers In attendance.
It IH expected by this means to convince
the farmers of the state that goods made
In Nebraska nro equal to tha productions
or eiistern inctorleH anil nt tha s.ima tlmo

lluslnoss In the llva stock mnrket wns of
fnlrly tuitlMfuctory propnrtlntiH last week ,
in fact , somunhut larger than on un nv-
ernKO of late. The rreute t illfllculty IH to
p > t stock onoiiKli to keep the packing
housed mnnlinc , nnil It. la still necessary to
phlp In n wood ileul from other markets.
The very xatlsfnctory prices bcintr palil
for beef cnttlo at the present time consti
tute a most encouraging fenturw of the
lu lm'in munition. Inu.siiHii'h an farmers nro
enableil by that mcaiiH to dlsposo of much of
tlii > corn crop ut price. * that rentier corn-
rnlslnc u profitable.biiHlnctm. Takln pres
ent values ns a basis for making estimates ,
It can bo nhown that the farmers who
Imvo feil their corn to cattle uro receiving
from 20 to 2."i cents per bushel for the corn
disposed of In that manner , or fully iloublo
what the uamo corn would bo worth at the
elevator.
The farmers nre fully aware of the nilvan-
JnKe of feeillni ; corn to cattle or other stock
but the Kfeat ( lllllculty with them ha beeii
to secure the cattle , The scarcity of money
In farmers' hands uml the illlllcully of bor-
rowltiR ban made It practically Imposslblo
for a creat many farmera to feed out their
corn at home , and all such will bo forced
to haul their crops to the clovatora ; still a
Kreat many catllo hnvo been placed on feed.
Not only were a KOOI ! many sent out from
Ihe South Omaha yarils. but Axestern ranch-
inim shipped a great many trains Into the
Rtato and sold them direct to the farm.
r . Many of the latter were sold
on time , the ranchmen carryltiR the farm-
crs and Chicane parties In turn narrylntf
the ranchmen. The cattle that nro beliiK
fcil on Chicago money will In all probability
liefer como to the Omah.i y.irils. but will
bo concluded direct to Chicago commission
houses throuKh whom the ranchmen secured
thn money.
The farmers nro still short on cattle and
everything nt all sultrtLlo for feeding pur-
pones meets with ready sale. A KOOI ! many
fanners who Imvo been unable to secure
Hitch cnttlo ii j they wanted nro good buy *
I era of sheep , anil the few feeders that como
Jo lhet-0 yards meet with ready sale , show-
Ins that the country Is determined to feed
out a much of the corn crop UB possible.
The prices ut which JIOBS aru nelllnir are
very low , In fact they are now brliiKlnn
Una than half the market price current In
December. 1S3 : , but still these who have
made a study of tha subject llguru that U
Is butter to ralso lions at prevailing- prices
than to illrposu of thu corn at the elevators
nt 10 to 13 cents per bushel. The hope that
1hey will be able , before the nnil of the sea-
can to Hccure stock , or that the market will
Improve Inter on , Is the real catisn of the
holding back of the corn crop on tha part
of farmers , anil nt the nme tlmn furnishes
nn explanation of the present shortage of
money In the country.

HUT on the thiowliiK over of a lot of long
wheat , but the maiicet had too much 'Sta
tistical support lo break badly from such
u cauro ami as soon as the pressure was re
moved prices went up asaln. The receipts
at both the northwest points and In chl-
CIIKO were very small. Minneapolis and Uu
hull reported 370 cars and Chicago M cars
a total of 412 cars , compared with 003 on the
same day last week and S72 on the. corresponding
spending day of the year before. Thoolll
clal llKiires on the Now South \Vales wheat
crop showed a shortage of l.'JoO.OOO bu. over

weakness of oats made Its Inlluenco felt
shortly before the close. Realizing was also
Indulged In to a moderate cxcnt , and -M.iy

broke to 7UT&C. That was the price at tilt
close.
Corn was very quiet , with trailing chlolU
among scalpers. 1'rlces during the mornlnt ,

strength of wheat and free exports , but

Oats started rather llrm In common will
the other grain markets , but later fell off
decidedly. Liberal receipts and a heavy es
timate for Monday was good material for
the raiding crowd to work with , and they
pressed their advantage. Trading was never
heavy and lluctuatlons were narrow. May

CATTLE The receipts of cattle toili : >
were slightly smaller than yesterday , but
almost double what they wore a week ago , a
very liberal run for the last day of the
week. The total for the week footed up
13l 3 , as ngaln&t 11,113 for the previous week ,
a sllpht gain for the six days.
Today's market was without feature of
any great Importance , the trade partaking
very largely of the humdrum character
usual on the closing day of the week.
Values ' \vere practically unchanged , the
mnrket being Just about steady on all kinds.
There was a little sprinkling of cornfed
Piters In the yards , but nothing choice or
especially attractive and no great number
of any kind. The market on that kind was
a little slow , due principally to the fact that
salesmen generally had a pretty gooi
opinion of their holdings and were asking
pretty stiff prices.
Butchers' stock sold In the same notches
as yesterday and the trade was fairly ac
tive , with the demand KOOI ! on the more
desirable grades of OCV.VA and heifers. The
common and medium grndes were Incllnotl
to drag a little , but the llthl offerings were
scon exhausted.
Only a few stockcrs and feeders wore In
first hands and In spite of the fact that It
was the hist day of the week , when the de
mand lit usually light , the offerings were
al ! taken in good s < ason. AP was the case
with killing cattle , values did not show any
material change.
The cattle market of the past week has
been In very satisfactory condition , viewed
from the standpoint of the seller. The
tendency of valuta was upward under the
Inlluenco of stronger mar'.iotH In the east
and light receipts locally , coupled with the
very good demand. There were not enough
beef cattle of any kind to supply the de
mand and the large proportion of w'.iat
was received bore consisted or half fat anil
Unfinished cornfed steers. Still the demand
was snfilclently strong lo keep the yards
cleared and on most days the trade was
reasonably active. HutcherH' stock , like
cornfed steers , v/as In good demand and the
prices paid wore high all the week. On
Friday the market bioke WIOc under the
Influence of the heavy decline nt other
mnrM'tn. The heaviest demand ' .vas for
stackers and feeders , which met with ready
sale at gradually stiffening prices. The
supplv of foodorT was more than equal to
the iU Kin ml , the country being a heavy
buyer fill the week. Heprcsentatlve sales :
