The last week has wltncusc-d a very fair
business doing In all departments of trade
nnd still the general situation lias liccn
without nny tspeclally Interesting feature
thnt would distinguish It from the previous
week , AH thu ovation draws away from the
lialldays. however , the nuvi-nu-nt of mur-
cbamllso In a Jobbing way showH distinct
Improvement and with the arrival of the
middle of the month the course of busl-
new may bu said to have returned to the
normal. Kor reasons already pointed out
no very great activity was anticipated In
the dcmnnd for merchandise from the conn-
try tributary to this market so that the
present very satisfactory movement Is
highly gratifying , ncprcnentnllve houses
wltnuut cxciptlon report n very good Jnnu
volume of business
nry demand and the total
ness for the first half of the month will
compare very favorably with the corre-
rpomllng period of any previous year In
tno history of Omaha.
Money In the country appears to be rea
sonably easy and country consumers are
Ptlll buying quite freely In splto of the
fact tnat the consumptive demand In No
vember and December was unusually
hThe' ( local retail trade of the last week
was somewhat spotted , that Is there were
Couil days and poor ones , owing to the
Btato of the weatncr. Thu llrsl half ot the
week stoppers did not venture out In any
treat numbers , but Wire apparently waitIng -
Ing for more agrceible weather. Toward
the latter part of the week there was fair
buying , ihoiivli on come days thu weather
was dark and threatening and not of u
character calculated to tcir.pt shoppers
forth The fact that the weather la HO
mild Is also n drawback In a good many
departments' nnd snappy cold weather Is
lie. ( led to put 'more life Into the demand
for strictly cold weather merchandise.
Taking the month to date as ti whole.
however , It must be admitted that the
retail trade has been cxc'ptloually good
ns compared with the record of previous
years. Hie latge Increase In thu number of
wane earners locally Is helping the retail
trade of the city In no small way , while
the greater prosperity attending all busi
ness ventures has placed n much larger
volume of money In general circulation , nil
of which Is to the great benefit of the re
tail trade.
The large gains In the volume of clearings
of local bunks bear out the statement made
above to the effect that the first half of
January has wltncssjd an unusually pras-
perous business In all departments of trade.
As to the future of trade there appears
to be but ona qu stlon current among those
usually best Informed as to the course of
events Traveling men nre out with their
spring lines and reports from all sources
agree that there Is n general feeling of
encouragement and hopefulness among the
retail merchants of the west. Farmers still
have larpe quantities of corn on hand ,
while the country Is full of live stork re
maining to be turned Into money. Under
the circumstances It Is hard to see why
money should not continue easy In the
country and with that fact assured a good
spring business Is practically u certainty.

Unexpected Advance nt Liverpool Gives
Fircness to Wheat.
MAY OPTION CLOSES SOMIWHYT HIGHER

CH1CAQO , Jnn , IS. Wheat today closed
nt nn ndvnnce of nboutic for May. TradIng -
Ing wns almost altogether of a sculping
character , nnd the llrmncfs was the result
of nn unexpected advance nt Liverpool.
Other markets were dull nnd heavy , corn
and onts closing nbout lie lower each , and
provisions lost 2'.ili4c. ' !
Wheat wns surprisingly strong when con
trasted with thp weak feeling that prc-
vnlled nt the close yesterday. First trans
actions In May were nt from t'0)ic ' to WV4e ,
against SOJiWHc the previous afternoon , and
In about half nn hour It wns able to bo
sold for n second or two at WUo. Calls for
the day had been so'.d ut BO'.ic ' , but It was
said most of those privileges hud been
bought up by people who were short as a
safeguard against the principal eccentrici
ties of so erratic n market. The Liverpool
market closed fromKd * to Hd his her than
It did yesterday. This was somewhat of a
surprise to tiaders , many of whom had
sold short yesterday In anticipation of a
decline hero today , nnd caused considerable
covering. The week's shipments of wheat
and Hour as reported by Uradstreet's \\aa
S.l.Tj.wO bu. , against S,4slC03 ! bu. the weeki
before nnd 3,1MS , < KX ) bu. the corresponding
week of ISfl" . That suggested n total of
perhaps TiM > , lOO bu. fiom all sources , but
Uecrbohnts estimated thnt the world's ship
ments for the week would lie found Mon
day to. be nbout 0,000,000 bu. The Minne
apolis and Dulutlt receipts wer > 333 earn ,
asalnst 357 cars the corresponding day of
the previous week nnd 2UI cars a year ago.
Chicago receipts were 35 cars , 13 of which
were of contract quality. The snow that
v.-as falling and had already fall-it was a
ronssurunce regarding the promise of the
crop. Liverpool reported spot wheat weak
and 2d lower for California , with sellers of
Ar.irentlne wheat nt 3d pr quarter lower
than It was offered Friday. The closing
continental cables showed some recovery
from the previous day's heavy decline , and
that tended to strengthen the hands of the
bulls. Paris showed a rlso of fiOc In Jan
uary Hour , and 20c In March-June , besides
3..c In January wheat nnd Co In wheat for
the March-June term. The exports for the
day were moderate nt SGO.OCO bu. Uusln.'ss
was at no time very heavy. While trading
still continues to be done chlclly for May
delivery , there Is a growing disposition t3
work clear of It and transfer speculative
dealings Into July , thu proportion of trade
In which Is growing dally. After the early
advance , the offerings somewhat exceeded
the demand , and the price sagged to be
tween B0 > 4c nnd 90V4c , but got .cood . support
at that and closed ut PO'.ic bid.
Business In c : > rn was extremely dull nnd
merely of a scalping character. The gen
eral tendency of tne market was downward ,
more from dullness than from nny bear
ish news. The dullness , however , prevented
prices from declining much. ISxport de
mand wns r.-portcd good. May ranged from
9Uc to 2S"Wi29c. nnd closed ' , &c lower at 29c.
Oats was duller , If possible , than corn.
There was some buying of May , supposed
to be against sales of cash oats. The mar
ket was Inclined to easiness throughout.
Scalpers sold sparingly. May ranged from
2340 to 2SHc , and closed a shads lower nt
23Hc.
Provisions were dull nnd easier , lljg mar
ltet was firmer , wnlrh sllshtly affected
opening prices , but the market evidently
Had not recovered from yesterday's heavy
liquidation. There was moderate selling by
commission houses today. At the . .close
May pork WTS c lower at J9.3 ; May lard ,
2y.c lower at $4.73 und May ribs , 2,5 c lower

NEW YOMK , Jan. 15. The Kencrnl ap-
prnranco of the market { his week has boon
one of great activity nnd strength , but a
closer Inspection will Indicate that" the
activity has been more distributed 'than the
strength. Industrial stacks nrc on the whole
lower and many Important railroad slocks ,
Including the grangers , are hardly so well
off as they were a week ago.
The market's appearance of strength has
been due to large buying on a rising market
of the Northern Paelllc slocks. Union Pacific
nnd the Vanderbllts , The strength of Union
Pacific has been communicated to the stocks
of the disintegrated portions of the old
system now operated by separate reorganized
companies. The announcement that 'the '
Union 1'nclflc liad bought a controlling In
terest In the- Oregon Short. Line explained
this movement. Much was made Also of the
prospects of a big Klondike business over
these lines and the Northern 1'aclflc. The
Ohio soft coal reads have 'been ' prominent
and strong. There haa been unprecedented
activity and record prices In the bond
division and largo Investment demand for
gilt-edged slocks and an Increased outside
Interest In the stock market.
On the other hand there has been Inter
mittent realizing on a very heavy scale by
large professional operators which has been
a drag on the market. Sugar has been per
sistently weak on account of President Have-
mt-yer's recommendation that the surplus bo
maintained for contingencies. The stock
Is five points lower. Manhattan Is over four
points higher and the Northern Pacific
stocks , Union Pacific and the leading Vander-
bilts from 2 to 3 per cent higher.

CHICAGO , Jan. 15 , The course of the
wheat market the past week has been
Irregularly downward , quite pronounced
weakness developing at 'times , but support
was given the market at critical points and
the net decline was net heavy. Trading at
no tlmo was 'heavy. ' The Inactivity of the
market is best shown by the range of prices ,
which was but 2 cents , May fluctuating be
tween 01 % and 80 % cunts. Yesterday's clos
ing price , 60090 % cents , shows a decline of
? ® % cents for the week. The market
was weakened on Saturday by failure of n
predicted cold wave to materialize , which
caused considerable liquidation by those who
had bought oa predictions of crop damages.
Weakness of the foreign markets , coupled
with an almost stagnant condition of trade ,
resulted Monday in accnt break. Part
of this was recovered Tuesday on buying by
the Letter crowd , which started a general
covering movement by shorts , but for the
rest of the week the trend of the market was
downward. The extreme weakness which
developed at Liverpool was partly responsible
for the decline. Indirectly also the gradually
Increasing offerings of wheat from the new
Argentine crop cut quite a figure , as they
apparently played an Important part In the
declines in the foreign market. The Loiter
Interests gave the market good support on
Thursday , when the price got to SO cents ,
but on Friday were sellers at the low point ,

ST. PAUL , Jan. 15. The Minnesota grand
ledge of Masons has declared that all In
surance companies operating under Masonic
titles In the etate of Minnesota are un-
masonic , and that Masons must not Insure
In them. This order will take effect March
1. It will afford insurance companies em
ploying the designation "Masonic" an op
portunity to drop the term and also cease
to use .Masonic emblems on their stationery.
CHICAGO , Jan , 15. Prominent Masons of
Chicago , who were Interviewed on the action
of the Minnesota grand ledge regarding
"Masonic" Insurance componlca , said they
could not account for the action of Ihe Min
nesota grand lodge , save as possibly the
outcome of a. local dispute. They say there
Is no Insurance concern employing the fra
ternity name that does not compare favor
ably with other Insurance companies. It
Is deemed unlikely that the grand lodgc-a of
other states will follow Minnesota's example
end the business of such companies will bu
affected only In that state.

UOSTON , Jan. 1C , Just before the Ding-
Icy tariff law was passed a syndicate of
nostcnlans purchased a mineral spring near
Toronto , Intending to oblp the water Into
this country tinder the low tariff of the WIN
eon hill , The Dlngloy bill , however , placed
a duty of 24 cents a gallon upon all Im
ported waters. This was practically pro-
hlbltcy , and the mineral water Investment
scorned doomed. Hut It did not toke the
Hoclon men long to make a dtocovory. They
found that Mr. DInglcy had rctnlnnl lew on
the free < ! i t and 'they soon proved by n teat
that It did not Injure the medicinal prop
ertlcs of the waters to freeze It. So , now.
the mineral water Is coming over the Cana
dian border and Into this country , In solid
chunks. The syndicate ia now saving 24

CATTLH Omahn had more cattle than
Kansas City and Cilcugo combined and still
there were only tlfty-slx loads on sale.
Nearly all the cattle hero were killers , so
that for a Steurday the offerings were qulto
large. The market as alioli \ was about as
dull and unsatisfactory as could be Im
agined , It was In fact n typical Saturday's
market , only a little more so than common.
The requirements of the buyers seemwl
to be very limited and they did not net as If
they needed many cattle. However , they
would take them If they could Fecuro a
concession to pay for currying them over
Sunday. Tiio most desirable kinds Fold
about as well as yesterday , but heavy
cattle were pretty generally lOc loAcr.
The market on cow ? .ml heifers was also
aow ! and weak , though not so very much
lower than yesterday. The offerings , con
sisting of ten or a dozen loads , were
eventually taken , but It was late bcforn a
clearance was effected.
Stockers and feeders were In light supply
and as usual at the close of the. week there
was not. much doing In that division of the
yards.
Tno cattle market of the past week ex
perienced both good anil- bad days. The re
ceipts were the largest of any week since be
fore the holidays , but the demand was also
large , so that there was no surplus of cattle
on sale. During the early part of the week
the general tendency was upward and on
some days the market was full of encourage
ment , . so that the prospect was most pleas
ing to sellers. It was generally realized ,
however , that the advance had been fore I by
light receipts and that u heavy run -vonld
tend to break values down again , for that
reason a sharp reaction was not entirely un
expected. The break came on Friday and
was the result of large receipts and lower
markets at other selling points , which de
pressed the market here and closed the
week ivlth a dull anil unsatisfactory
market.
One of the features of the cattle trade of
the past week were the extremely high
prices paid for light stock cattle welshing
403 to WV ) pounds , such cattle brlnglnt" as
much as the best fat cattle. The supply of
feeders was rather light , but the demand
was good and the market continued strong
right up to the close of tie ! week In splto
of the breik < n beef cattle. Ucprqsentatlve
