MONEY STILL SCARCE IN THE COUNTRY Pnvnrnlilt > for a Hood llunl- -NM In ( In- Local I.lvr Slock Mar- lift Corn UoiuiiKMicliiK : to aiov In the Country. In the Joliblntj district operations the past week titxvo bcim Inrsoly unilcr the restrictive InllupncoM of tlio liolhlny BCII- non , mid tlio market Ims been doclilcilly irmvtlvo. liuyers us a rule do not vlall the city during llio holiday BcaHon , but remain nt homo to tnkc cnro of their own trnilu , and If business Is nt nil good they luivo too much to do to even wrlto out orders. The force of salesmen on the road la always small at this Hcason. mid those who were out found their customers moro Interested In their Rlock-tuklm ; op- crullorm thnn In sccurlni ; further mippllea of seasonable , good. * ) , or ordering nhead for Hprlng. Under such circumstances tlio jobbing trndo of the city could hardly bo other- wlso than dull , and the fact Hint such Is usually the case at this HOIIBOII hns given rl o to the almost universal custom of settltu ; aside the last week In the year lor slock taking. Iteports Irom the country Indicate that the holiday trade was of inoderato pro portions , owing In a lar > ; o ili-Rreo to the fact that money Is Htlll HPiircu , a condi tion that Is likely to continue for sonio llttlo time. Thus far the amount of new corn that has Bono forward Is very small niul the money of the stale Is very Innsely tied up In that commodity. A largo amount of money hns been drained from the country by the heavy buying of stock cattle to bo placed on feed , ami , with considerable money Roln ; ; out and not much reluming. It miKlit not to lie a matter of surpvlHO that collec tions an- backward and the country trade none too brisk. The retail trade of the city hns suffered the past week from n continuation of the mild , uprlnirllke weather , which has pre vented the development or anything like an active demand for cold weather woods. In addition to being mild the v/wither the past week has been so very disagreeable overhead and underfoot on some days that the number of shoppers on the street lius been smaller than usual. AT SOUTH OMAHA. The close of the year brought out the usual statistics bearing upon the live stock business , showing that over a half million cattle were received on the South Omaha market during ISM , or JG5 head more than during IS'J.'i. There was a considerable fall ing elf as compared with every other year filnco 1S.H. The receipts of hogs were 1,216,2X0 , or 20.-I3I larger than for the previous year , but anmller than every other year since 1SS7. Sheep alone show a gain over all previous yt-.irs , the Increase In that kind of stock bring duo to the fact that the Stock Yards company was never before 'In a position to take care of the sheep that might como hero. 1'LKNTY OF IIOC3S TO COMK. The Impression appears to bo general among stockmen and packers that this month will witness largely Increased re ceipts oC liofs , and that the arrivals will bo still larger during February. Those ex pectations would seem to bo based , to a considerable extent , upon the results of Investigations carried on In the country , as well as upon the assumption that corn makes hogs , and that sulllclcnt tlmo has rlapsed Hlnce the growing of the corn crop to bring a good many hogs to ma turity. The most of the hogs coining to market nt this point are heavy ; In fact , many of them too heavy to please the packers. What few lightweights are arriving nro mostly from sections where growers are afraid of disease and prefer to market their hogs while small rntlicr than take the chances of holding thorn until matured. Whllo It la conceded on every hand thnt there arc a good many hogs to come , no material decllno In values Is generally an ticipated , the Increase In the foreign and domestic demand for cured meats being rolled upon to maintain prices. The prospect as regards the cattle busi ness , for the balance of the winter , can hardly bo regarded as so very promising. At the tlmo when the range cattle were arriving freely money was so close that many farmers were unublu to secure cat tlo to place upon feed , and as money be- rame easier the supply of cattle suitable for feeding purposes became greatly dlniin- Ithed. The result Is that there arc fewer oattlo on feed In this section of country than was usual prior to IS'JI. and many of them have gone Into the feed lots so late In the season that there Is not much rhnnco that they will bo matured before being forwarded to market. GOOD HKKP GATTLK SCAIICE. Everything would seem to point to a Benrclly of choice beeves at the South Omaha market and to an oversupply of In ferior and Immature cattle. The prices at which fat cattle am now Belling are very satisfactory , mid the farmers of Nebraska , who wore fortunate In securing cattle to bo placed upon feed , are realizing peed prices fur their corn. The scarcity of good cattle and the en couraging outlook for foreign demand has led many stockmen to anticipate a contlnu- one < i of the present satisfactory prices. That atockmcn have good reason for en- couragemcnt over the foreign demand Is apparent when It Is taken Into considera tion that the exports of cattle for the ten months ending with October were 330 OCO head , or lOI.M'S head In excess of the exports for the corresponding period of 1893. Dur ing the same time there were exported ! ! > , - ailat pound * of canned beef product. 2.- ! S2S.W7 pounds of fresh beef and 72,831,942 Iiouml.'i of pickled or united beef , heavy gains over 1595 being shown In each case. The development of the chilled beef ex port trade presents many Interesting foa- turcs and Is In many respects very similar to that of llvo cattle. Allowing COO pounds an the average weight per dressed carcass , the exports of dressed beef from this coun try for the ten months would represent S.S'SOli llvo cattle , which , added to thpua exported alive , would jMvji a total of 721- 817 head , without taking into consideration the shipments of canned and pickled meats. A continuation of Mich heavy withdraw als of cattle from this country could dardly fall to exert n strong Influence upon the market to the advantage of stock growers. WIU. , FIGHT IJUTT15IUNE. Two years ago the legislature of Ne braska , acting under strong pressure from the dairy Interests , and In Imitation of other state ; * , passed an act providing , among other things , that no huttorlnc or oleomargarine , colored In Imitation of but ter , tthould I > B off.-reil for ale. The result of this legislation was the driving out of Inn-mess of the Nebraska , manufacturers of Imitation butter , but It did not prevent llui sain within the state of huttcrlne. col ored to represent butter , as the dairymen have since learned. The butter men started out with a firm determination to enforce mo law and n committee was appointed for that purpose , but aside fiom obtaining legal opinions , vhlch pronounced tdo law constitutional , the committee bus accomplished practically nothlnt ; . ( 'hlengo huttcrlne , colored contrary to law , Is now being sold In quite a number of mores In Omaha and the law Is to all In- tenls and purposes a dead letter , so far us thin city ! . < concerned. Dairymen , admit that they have fulled to enforcu the not , which the legislature passed at their so licitation , but the trouble appears to bo that butter men do not feel dla. osed to move Individually against linns that are buyers of butter as well as butterlne. It Is now proposed to ask the legislature to IVIK.S an net creating a > > tatn dairy com- mlxxloncr , the governor of the state to 1111 Biioli olllcc and administer It with the aid of a deputy. It Is pointed out by these fa voring such action that Wisconsin and other dairy stales linvo such nn olllccr and thnt It has proven of great advantage to the dairy Interests of such states Although many of the states , and nnion ? them several that were very largo con- Humcrs , have enacted laws Intended to pre vent tin ) niunufncturo and t < ale of btitterlno that Industry Is not dead by any means. It has , however , been greatly crippled by t'.io cenceless hostility of the producers of butter , Nuuriir .11 n r Ici-t. NKW YOnit.

Firm Feeling Pervades the Speculative Market All Dayt WHEAT HAS A BULLISH TENDENCY .Stren - | In MiiliitnhuMl to OIL1'iul , ( he I , < Mve.it 1'rlce of the Day 'Millie Sliortly After the Opening. CHICAOO , Jan. 2.-A tlrm feeling por- vnilctl the speculative markets today , and all the lending articles closed higher than they did Thursday. Wheat was the leader both In strength and activity , Kio factors being Argentine crop damage reports and apprehension ns to the result of the cold wave In the winter wheat belt. Wheat ad vanced H' e , corn and oats about 'Ac each and provisions from Bo to 124o. ! In wheat the early news was of a decid edly bullish character , and the first session of the year began In a way to rejoice the hearts of speculators wishing higher prices. The strength -was maintained to the end , the lowest price of the day being made shortly after the opening , when liberal of ferings by longs caused n Flight decline , which , however , was quickly recovered from. One of the factors helping the mar ket was the prediction of cold weather In the winter wheat section. Another equally strong factor was found In the news cabled from Argentine which represented matters there as steadily drifting from bad to worse. The province of Santa Ke , which usually exports 12.0HO.OOO bu. of wheat or over , will not have , It Is claimed , 2.000000 bu. surplus this year. Tnat the Argentine news was regarded In England as of the most serious Importance may bo gathered from the fact t'hnt although It was a holi day there the grain men of Liverpool and London sent buying orders to New York and Chicago for May wheat. Opening quo tations for May were from S3e to S3-Kc , as compared with Thursday's closing price of S3Vic. After touching 83-isc the mnrket went steadily upward until sr.o had been i cached. It reacted from that to Sic and closed strong at S2c. Northwestern re ceipts , though small , had but llttlo Inllli- enei on trading. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 393 cars , or live less than last year. Corn was quiet , but decidedly firmer , gov erned chiefly by the buoyant feeling In wheat. May opened about 3-ICc higher at Z.VKc , sold between 2.V&C and Me , closing firm nt from 2.VJIC to 25c. Oats were quiet and firm , prices being Vic better at the close than nt the finish Thursday. May opened c higher at from iac to llWfllOic , sold ut l T4c , and closed at Ifl ic bid. A good trade was done In provisions , and whllo the majority of trades were In the way of changing January forward to May , thiTo were also not a few straight buying orders.

Totals . 1.C56 3.153 1,031 CATTLE Today's receipts of cattle were largo for a Saturday , making a total for the week of S.521 head , as against 9,033 head for the previous week. The most of the cattle hero today were cornfcd steers , there being very little In the way of feeders or butch ers' stock. The market on beef steers was decidedly against the selling Interests InaFinuch as values were fully lie lower and In extreme cases liic lower. The decline at Chicago and the expectation of large receipts the coming week constituted the bear features which Were responsible for the decline In prices. S'lIesmtMi did not seem particularly anxious to let go their holdings at the prices bid and the trade In consequence v.as slow and dull from start to finish. There was not enough cow stuff to make much of a test of the market , only seven or ultsht loads all told , and that kind of cattle did not experience much change in the matter of values. Stockers and feeders were also so scarce that their sale could hardly be considered us making a market. The beef cattle market of the past week has experienced a wide range In values , but the demand has been more than equal to the receipts at this point , so that the yards have been krpt well cleared , and on most days the trade was active. The excessive receipts the first of the week nt Chicago broke the market there 25 T40c , but the light run here prevented the buyers from taking off more ili.in l. > ? (20c at this point. The shutting off of the receipts , consequent upon such a large and sudden decline In values , brought ntiout a reaction and the market advanced from Tuesday on. Uy Friday It was as litelt here as It has been any time , but It dropped back I0iat the close of the wtvk , as noted above. Slockers and feeders have been In active dcmnnd all the week and have sold at strong prices , the supply being way short of thu demand. Representative sales : No. Av. I'r. No. Av. 1'r. No. Av.
