Local nctnll Merchant ! Report a Snt-
lafnctnr- Week In All Department *
Hank Clearing * Indicate Great
, Improvement.
While t'ncrc IB a marked Improvmcnt to
be noted In commercial and financial con
ditions over n year ago , there Is no deny
ing that thu uncertainties attending the
outcome of the Cuban question have
checked to some extent the progress of
enterprise. In this regard the west Yias
been more fortunate than the large eastern
money and manufacturing centers. Uncer
tainty a Hto the future of values In the
event of war naturally makes business men
cautious and to that extent at leait Is a
disturbing Influence.
Essentially , however , the business of the
country Is In a sound condition , and aside
from the uncertainties referred to , the out
look la better than It has been at any time
ulnco the panic of 1VJ3. There Is a lalgc
\olume of general business being1 tran
sacted , ThU la shown conclusively by the
heavy Increases In the" bank clearings over
a year ago , this Increase being 10 per cent
at Oma'na last week , and 2o per cent for
the whole country.
Local retail trade Is good owing to the
( act that labor l generally well employed
and the consuming power of the people
greatly Increased.
HARDWARE TRADESATISFACTORY. .
The trndu In wholesale hardware last
week was very satisfactory. Mall orders )
contlium to come In large numbers which
given a firm , nctlvu tone to 'tho ' market.
No change of any Impoitanco In the sched
ule of prices Is reported. The rope mar
ket Is especially strong for this tlmu of
vcnr. nnd Omaha houses arc selling It for
10 cents ICSH than It can be delivered by
fasten ) firms. This Is a rather unusual
condition , as the price In t'ne cast Is sulllc-
Icnt to covet only the cost ot the raw ma
terial. Thu exceptionally low price here Is
dun to the large stock of goods on hand
which tilt dealers arc anxious to close out.
Is Is expected that t'ne price of rope will
advance , either that must taku place or
thei e'ost of thu raw material must decline.
Some HcuicUy In spring supplies Is re
ported , especially In steel goods and poultry
netting. This oatibedi In part by the de
mand coming two or three weeks- earlier
than usual , and partly by thu Increased
volume of business. The outlook for a
'neavy spring trade was never more Hatter-
Ing than at the piesent time.
WAR AFFECTS GROCERIES.
The volume of business transacted by the
wholesale grocers Is steadily Increasing.
The close of each neck tlnds n decided Im
provement nnd the capacity of the houses
Is In many cases already taxed.
The coffee and tea market last week was
decidedly uncertain , aa t'ne talk of war has
caused the heavy Impotturs of coffee In
Baltimore und New Yorfcc to withdraw from
the market. In the event of war a tax of
from 5 to 10 cunts would be placed on green
coffecH and on tea about 10 cents. This
uncertainty ns to futuru values has caused
Omaha jobbers to place heavy orders of
green coffees for Immediate delivery. In
fact the heaviest train of green coffees ever
a'nlppcd west of the Mississippi Is at thu
present time enrouto from New York for
this city. Such occurrences are good Indi
cations of thu Important position that
Omaha occupies ns a jobbing' center.
The sugar market la still In .v very excited
condition. During- the last ( week prlcss nd-
vanced TVlt-/ * of a cent per pound. The war
ncaro and the Increased consumption for this
season of the year1 have caused the change.
It Is expected that the consumption of
BU.riir will continue to Increase until the
last of June , when the height of thu berry
season will bu passed. In most other lines
prlccu artHim. .
NOTHING NEW IN SHOES.
, No new developments have been noted by
thu be : t and shoe Jobbers during the last
Ix daj3. A decided falling off In the num
ber of merchants ce-mlng to the city has
taken place , as spn-lal rates are no lonser
offered to them us an Inducement. Mall
orders.hCMever , ara coming In rapidly and
all things considered the Jobbers feel very
niell rat tan cd.
The dealers In rubber goods are still
hamllcnpped because ) of the failure on "the "
part of the Rubber truit to send out their
schedule of prices. Nothing Is expected of
the trust now be-fore May 1. If war should
occur the priceof rubber would without
doubt materially ! Increase , n the supply in
this country l' | very limited. This fact alone
prevents Jobbers from Inking- very many
orders before prices are determined. When
they are finally fixed1 , however , there Is
little rtoubt but that the rubber men will bo
wtry busy.
COUNTRY PRODUCE AND FRUIT.
Little change took place on the produce
market last iwoek. Trices remain about
stationary and .the- demand Is good from
tooth country and city. The price of cab-
" bnd
toago has advanced about" 1 cent per pound
and arl > lefl have a'ao talcenl a slight upward
etart. Strawberries are slowly declining1 as
they become more * plentiful.
Il I orts from , different fruit growers and
shippers In the south and west regarding
the prospects for a crop arc. somewhat con
flicting , buti thus far there Is no reason nor
thinking that therelll not bo a eood aver :
age yield of fruit and berries. One grower
in Texas writes that peaches arei almost >
entirely destroyed , by frost ? , but .that there ,
. will be earlots of strawberries and black-
I berrl.es. .
J The e-Etlmated damage done > strawberries
* " * at SalllFkiw. I. T , , Is placed at one-quarter
by 'a well known grower and shipper. In
name Kectlcns of Arkansas tha damage Is
placed at CO p r cent nnd the crop delayed
at least ten days , while In o'.hcr localities the
injury la merely nominal.
The potato croi > at Fort Smith , Ark , , Is
- Bald to bo elamage < V about 20 > per cent.
' - > The fruit crop , of Missouri , thut far. Is In
fairly cod shapeu The Injury to berries Is
not worth mentioning , but peaches have
suffered to toma extent , ns have also plumbs. ,
The peach and plum buds are opening out > I
In good shape , but may yet fall off. The re
port ftom Newcastle' ' , Cal. , Is that nn Im-
tnenso crop of fruit Is expected. The. le > -
lands suffered slightly , but fruit on the high
grounds 'was uninjured.
HANK CLEARINGS AND TRADE.
Hank clcarlng-8 are so easily swilled by
artificial moans , and tlnsimethods of dolns
business differ so wlile-ly In different ssc-
tlonn of the country , that they form , a very-
poor basis upon which to build up compart ,
nous between rtlfferfrtt cities. At- the pame
time clearing nous ? reporls Indicate moro
closely than anything else the general
course df business. To bei really useful ,
however , comparisons must be limited to
Individual cltle ? . nnd oven then It must be
borne Ira'mlml that 'the figures do not stand
tfor Uio volume of .business doing1 , but only
us Indicating the fluctuations , the. ups indoor
downs , the good months -and the. poor
months of thei business world.
With these few general facts In mind I a
ntudy of 'the- clearing house reports aaS
Omaha can ) hardly fall to throw ome lighten
on the business situation. Takei the. total
clearings for last month anel ccOTpare thwn
with thei records of the corresponding month
of previous years as follows :
Month. Amount. ( Month. Amount.
Mnreh. IS-IS. . . . :4 07S.1.T7 Murch , 1593. . . .
March , 1S97 . . l < i : 4l4l.Marcli. INC. . . . liissj' S

March. 1RH. . . 14,752 33 Mutv.l , Itfl. , . . 20Wi4'j7f
March. 1S)4. )
Tne fact that March , 1S93. was the best
March for business since 1S93 , Is promi
nently brought out. Every Omaha business
man remembers the spring of 1S93 the
gain In clearings for the llrst three months
of fiio year amounted to KOftWO.OOO , which
will give some Idea of the rapid expansion
of trade at that time.
The above figures njay also serve as i a
reminder of other facts. In the summer of
1SSO there was a crop failure over a largo
part of the state. March , as a matter of
course , came too early In the year to feel
* hp effects of poor crops , but In MorcYj.
JS91. 'here was n heavy shrinkage In
the clearings and all who were In busi
ness In Omaha nt that tlmo can testify islas
to the accuracy of t'ne clearings as Indi
cating a corresponding shrinkage In busi
ness. Hy the tlmo 1MI2 had rolled around
business was back again to where U was
before the ISJQ failure.
March. 1S33. was the- best March so far as
the voiumu of clearings was concerned In
the history of the city. March 1S94 showed
a falling of JIO.000,000 , duo to the panla then
raging In the eastern money centers , but
by the time March 1S95 had rolled around
. .the. crop failure of 1SH was making Itself
felt to an extent that cut off JC.OOO.OW more .
Since that time -tho movement has been
gradually upward nmj yet the clearings for
March3S97 were slightly less than they were
during the corresponding month of thtl pre
vious year and most burners men will prob
ably njireo that they correctly Indicate the
actual conditions prevailing at that time , as
It wort the experience of most men that the
pinch r as really worst * In 1887 than < he. yean
before.
REAL ESTATE MARKET.
Last week saw very little difference In
the rental market regards oily property.
Cnlls for tnrm Inmls for one season hnve
bce-n Increasing , but rr-ntn on this c'nsi ot
property change very llttlo from nf.rliiK to
wiring , thin week having afforded no excep
tion to the general rule.
Moro real estate hat chnnge-d hands , how
ever , than In norne tlmo previous. The lack
of supply of Inside houses for r nt has
driven many to purchase. At the same time
the re.tl ( state market Is no fair criterion
of real valuw , for most of the property fold
Is by mortgagees who hnve bid It In nl
sheriffs' sales and are anxious to get out
only what they have put In. So much prop
erty of this sort thrown upon the market
h.m had a very great Influence In forcing
down value" , but Is hardly a better test of
values than a forced sale.
COMMERCIAL NEWS NOTES.
On Thursday night of last week a solid
tratnload of green coffte left New York ,
consignee ) to il'axton & Galnlgher of this
city , which Ii * ald to bo thc > largest single
shipment of coffee ever made to a firm west
of the Mississippi river. The train will be
profusely decorated ilth banners and the
railroad company .will see lo It that a day
light run Is made through Iowa.

CIIICAQO , April 9. Wheat today closed
at practically unchanged figures for July
and September , but was Ic higher for May ,
The latter was helped by good cash sales.
Trading was excessively dull , traders prc
ferrlng to await the developments at Wash
ington Monday. Corn and oats were easier
and closed about He lower. Provisions ad
vanced slightly.
With the exception of a little activity
around the opening , trading In wheat was
so dull as to bo hardly worthy of mention.
There was a , general Inclination among
traders to await Monday's developments
nt Washington before committing them
nclvcs very much , and t'nls and the absence
of any Incentive In the way of any cables
confined trading to a small scale. The
opening was steady In July at SOiOS
romoared with yesterday's closing price of
Sjyic. There was evidently still some nerv
ousness ! among shorts on account of yes
terday's heavy buying movement , but the
demand from this source soon died away.
delMe
Most of the speculators In t'no pit were
licarlshly : Inclined on account of the favor
able crop tcports from Ohio and Kentucky ,
The Ohio state report put the wheat con
dition 'at 72 , against 01 last month , while
Cm Kentucky crop condition was placed nt
101 roirmarcd with 91 at this time last year.
As the Government cron reoort on Monday
Is expected to be favorable , there was a
llttlo selling pressure put on the market
for a short tlmo after the opening , lesult-
tm In a decline to Sl ic. This was removed
and buying stimulated somewhat by New
York advices to the effect t'nat foreigners
were good buyers there against liberal ac
ceptances of yesterday's offerings , and the
price slowly recovcted to S3c , the high point
pint the dav. Thp local and northwest wheat
movement rat'ncr favored the bulls. Mlnne.
apolls and Uuluth reported 171 cars , ap-alnst
2M last week and 284 a year ago. Chicago
receipts were 43 cars. The additions to
contract stocks today were lighter than of
late , amounting to but 04,000 bu. , Including
2S cars from regular source ? and 20 cars
2Snr
and 10,000 bu. from mixing hous.es. After
the advance to SJG In July the market
gradually sold off again to SlUiJiSI'&c ' under
realizing and for the rest of the session
did not move ' /ic elt'ner way. September
followed July closely In the matter of fluc
tuations. There wa a llttlo revival of In
terest In May , which has been practically
at a standstill all week , and a number of
trades were made In It at $1.00 Ic above
yesterday's price. Letter's sales of 200,009
. hi . to so abroad today , a big business con
sidering the holiday season , was apparently
a factor In this advance. The market was
almost at a standstill toward the close.
Corn was easier on a moderate amount
of trading- . Belief fnat the short Interest
had been almost eliminated by yesterday's
' heavy buying and rains In the corn country ,
encouraged sellers , and prices ruled lower
all day. Freer country offeilngs following
the hlcher orlcea were also a weakening
factor. May ranged from 23780 to 235Jc , and
closed Uc lower at ISTsC.
Oats \\eio dull and practically without
features of Interest. The feeling In a gen
eral way was easier \ > Ith corn. Business
was entirely of a sc.Uplng nature and
price changes very narrow. May ranged
from 254C - to 2V18C , and closed a s'nade
lower at 23J.Ji2yic.
Provisions were steady within a narrow
ran.se. Hog prices caused some advances
at the opening. Under moderate selling by
packers this was lost , but the demand Im
proved later , market ruling steady to the
close. Hay pork closed 5c higher at $9.57' ;
May lard 2' c higher at J3.20 and May ribs
2&c hlt'ner nt $3.20.

Market Itcinnlnn Wltliiiut Any Spcclnl
NHW YORK , April 9-Opcrators In stoclts
maintained a strictly waiting attitude today.
The extreme variation In prices readied a pointer
or over In n good many stocks and the market
took on tome show of animation In the llrst hour
n the upward mcncinent. lut ! the purely tic-
lions character of this ndxance was demon-
trated' by the relapse In the recond hour. The
laj's net changes are hardly perceptible In niapy
: aEes and show an Indiscriminate mixture of
; alns nnd los cs. The market was without any
nore tlgnlilcance than ycsterda > 's. The total
ialea of all stocks were less than 100,010 share * .
The fact that the London exchange was closed
eft New York \vlthout Initiative from that quai-
cr. London operators were apparently not eager
0 avail tlicmiclxeR of the opportunity of trad
ing on the New York exchange , and orders by
: ablc were of small amount , though they wei'e
iitllclcnt to aid the first hour's advance. The
> ank statement was regarded as unfavorable ,
he movement of currency to the Intcrloi having
pparently been heavier than expected It was
xpected that the Imports of gold would about
.ffpct . the movement to the Interior. Apparently
iome of the gold has also been absorbed to meet
ndlrectly the Oomaml of Interior banks ; that I
: o say. It has been dope lted at the subtreasury
n exchange for currency tiantf erred from Wash-
ngton. ( iold received by the daj's steamers
Iocs not tlgure In the ftntcment. Although the
eserve requirement has been reduced over J3-
300.000 by the heavy decrcifp of J12.399.900 In the
lepoMts , the surplus rc erve Is decreased by only
.054,325. The net lo s In cash Is J3.783.000 and
loans have been contracted JS.067,900. In fplte
if the Inactivity ot the markets futther gold to
he amount of J750.000 was engaged for Import
oday. Prices of securities are generally hlg.ier
han they were a week ago. The high prices of
.he week were rnido on Wednesday afternoon ,
iv hen the announcement came that President
McKlnley's mesragc to congress would be de
al cd until Monday , The flrtt Interpretation of
his action was that It. boded further ncgotln-
lens looking to a peaceable uolutlon. Although
he further negotiations 'have not developed , n
, ) art of Wednesday's gains lias been held. There
has been much' purzlcd effort to account for the
firmness of the market In face of the week's
threatening developments , and there has been
n disposition to afcrlbe some secret motive to
the buying , popularly 'sUppofed to bo onnt \
side Information from high financial sources In
Rurope that .Sjialn would bg , forced to recede
it the eleventh hour , liut It must be said , thai
' .ho prevailing conviction In Wall street hns come
.0 be that war with Spain Is' now Inevitable , and
still prices do not go materially lower. Com
mission houses are authprlty for the statement
that they have orders tt > buy on an ascending
fcale , This condition stops th professional bears
from operations on the short side. On the *
other hand , Wednesday' ? bulge demonstrated
that there Is a supply ot stocks ready to offer
on any notable advance. The market Is thus
held In n sort of stable1 equilibrium by orders
to buy below the present level and orders to sell
above It. Meantime the Amount of trading'
which Is Invited Is xery small. The convlctlou
s unavoidable that prices are near the level of
healue for existing1 conditions , slnca those
who hold stocks are not anxious to cell nnd
those who seek them ara not willing to offer
more for them than prevailing prices. Prices
fell continually previous to the Maine report In
the effort to llnd the tru level. It Is the In
variable rule that a prolonged price movement
overshoots the mark , resulting In reaction. There
can be no more convincing demonstration of a-
true level of values than stagnation In the
market. There are varying opinions regarding
the effect of the actual presentation of the
president's message to congress on Monday , both
as to the amount of llquldatbn which will be
brought out and the volume of short contracts
which will be covered. The prevailing belief In
war has been accurately reflected In the money
markets. The continued stiffness of time money
rates and the disinclination to make time loans
Is called sentimental , as there Is no lack ot
money In supply , notwithstanding the large de
mands of Interior Institutions for the purpose
of strengthening their reserves. Money for loans
on call Is comparatively easy to secure. Mean
time the movement of gold from Europe Is un
abated , a large part of the Incoming supply
finding. Its way Into the United States treasury ,
In spite of the current excess ot payments over
receipts by that Institution. It la not improb
able that the continuing withdrawn ! of gold
from loans made abroad has to do with thu pos
sibility of a government war loan. The bond
maiket has been dull all the week and has
moved In sympathy with stocks. United States
old 4s , registered , have advanced 1U per cent ;
the new 4s , registered , 1 per cent ; the new 4 ? ,
coupon , % per cent , and the old 4s , coupon , and
the 5s , % per cent , and the 2s have advanced
1 ner cent on the bid price.
The Evening Post's London financial cable
gram says : The money market here waa firm
today. The discount rate has risen to 4 % per
cent on the rise In the German bink rate nnil1
further gold withdrawals. I learn , however , that
some gold orders for New York were canceled

All toltl there were or.ly about seventy-
stven cars of stock In thei y.iicla today , In
cluding cattle , heps nml sheop. It hits been
many n tiny phice there was such a small
showing of stock nt this point , out It H a
que-stlon it It would not be better for all
concerned If Saturdays recolpN were always
tlui.t small. Al nil the large .markets of tin *
cotintiy Saturday has coma to b : prnctlc-
nlly a holiday In the entile trade , nml
Omaha has ktipt up the. old habit of trying
to mnlcc lt | . business day | kmgor than any
of the other ? . Per a long time Saturday nt
< hls point -was n. goi > dl day for ho ? receipts ,
bul the. temptation Is so strong to wjuu-ezc :
the seller when the receipts arc laige and
they are under thei necessity e > f Exiling or
carrying oveir two ttny , thnti shippers have
bceomo ralhcr cautious about having even
hogs cn a Saturday's market. Saturday H
practically a. cleaning up d.iy at ether imir-
kcls , and thine1 ! no apparent reason why
It should not be > the same here.
CATTL12 Although Omaha had such light
receipt * , there nvicru more , cattle here than
at either Chicago or Kansas City. Thei de
mand was gooel and the thlrty-odil loads on
sale were not long In changing hands at
BO oil , steady prices. Shippers weic nguln
In the market , and helped local packers
ce-ar the STtrd .
The chief characteristic of the market Ihls
week 'wets th < very good demand for handy
cattle and * thei light demmiel for coalec ,
heavy beeves. As might bo surmise * ! from
that , uch e-nttlo , as would como under the
general designation of "handy" sold freely
on every day of the .week , but Tuesday
was the high day. After that the market
barely held Its awn , some -would my It
cased off a llttlo loward the dCHC of the
wvek. In regard to coarsei and heavy cattle
there * was an easier tendency all the latter
part of the mock , and a growing Inclina
tion on the part of the buyers to discrim
inate against them.
iCowa , he'lfers , bulls , calves , etc. , were
good sellers all the.week at good , strong
prices. In fact cow stuff has been selling
high right along , and the condition of the
market on every day or the week was en
tirely satisfactory to the. selling Interests.
Goc\i cowrt sold up to tl 00 and ns high as
S/1.40 was palel fonchoice fat yearling heifers.
No great change was noted In , the feadcr
tradei during the week , as .there was so little
coming that the trade did not attract any
great attention , Hegular operators on the
markttt say that the country demand Is nil
right nnd that a good many cattlo. could bo
sold If the right kind waa to bo had. Fewer
cattle than usual have been handled this
spring oving to the scarcity. Good stock
cattle are selling as well as any time , ns
high as JJ.OG being paid this wwk. Repre-
sentative sales :
