While the rains on one or two days may
r" bo ald to have * Interfered to some extent
with the movement of merchandise In con-
mimlriK channels , ths week as a whMe was
uf a character entirely pleasing to the busi
ness Interests of the city. Hetnllcrs In all
reasonable lima have only good words to
way regarding present conditions nnd al
most cvcrjono appears to bo comfortably
buay. Money In the hands cf consumers
appears to be fairly plentiful nnd there
oetms to bo a general willingness to part
with It. A vast Improvement Is noted In
the ilamnml for merchandise th.it for sev
eral years has been slow rale , such as
furniture , cat'pe B , etc. The people of the
city nnd neighboring tcivns arc refurnish
ing ttulr house * < uui putting Hum In shape
to r'colvo visitors thu coming summer. In
fact the demand just nt present Is so largo
thnt It Is no easy mutter for local lurnl-
ture and carpet houses to k ip pice- with
It nnd deliver the goods fast enough to
tncot wishes of customers.
In a jobbing way there Is also a very
Bntlsfaclory bu lness doing , which Is fully
iual U whit dealers loik for nt this sea-
Bon of the year. Just at theprraent tlrna
country huvers are very busy and accord
ingly the country rctnll trade H not quite
FO brisk as It was a few weeks ago. every

LUMIinil IMSS ACTIVE.
As noted a meek ago the. wholetvilo d < -
ni.uiil for lumber Is not so brisk as It vvas
a Hhort time ago , but that Is eMily an Inci
dent to ths season , March being always
a better mon'h than April. If a compirl-
non Is made , between now and n year fo
the showing -would be entlre.y to the ad
vantage of the present year. In a retail
iway there Is an enormous Iccal dcm ind for
lumber thnt keeps every yard In the cl y
i bustllrtf ? with activity. There Is ranily a
good e ! aJ more building going on In Otnah.x
than one might suppose ho had n5t given
close attention to the subjec' .
VALUES ADVANCING.
1'rlces of wholesale groceries continue to
have an upward tendency. This Is esp -
cl illy true of the su ? ir market , ns several
advances have taken u'.ice In the. last three
or four d.ajp. Quo atlons rule from 1-10 to
'ic high r than last week , the advance
. varying with the grade. The- general
' "opinion sccim-i to bo that prices i 111 K3 still
higher.
Farinaceous gools arc also on the Incline ,
especially bean" , 'which are reported. lOQIGc
per bushul higher than 11 week ago.
The coffee- market reimnln * practically
Bti-ady In Hplte of the enormous demand.
Jobbers report the.1 heaviest trade- that thev
have ever experienced In this line and say
that It Is caused by country merchants
stocking up In anticipation cf the proposed
duty , which | Alll proliablv amount t
about H cents per ( pound. It Is of course
a matter of itpeeul.Ulon ns to whether the
duty If levied will apply to s oc'.rs already
on hand or only to the Incoming supply ,
but dealers In general se c < in to bo of the
opinion that the pr.ncnt stock will not be
taxed.
The proposal duty on tea and tobacco
lias caused a heavy demand for the'iC
Roods as well Several brands of tobacco
have already advanced 2f ? . ° ic per pound and
It Is expected thnt clgitri UC1I have an ad
ditional lax of $ J to H pei 1 COO
California dtled fruits arc likewise on the
advance. A faw weeks ao apricot * ,
IHiichc * and prunes advanced , owing to the
severe frost In California , and now they
nre being quoted higher because of the
drouth. It Is said th it the dry weather
Is having more effect upon the market
than the cold wave had.
The grocery trade ns a whole wns of n
very satisfactory character the Inst week
nnd Joblxors report that in many cises
dllllculty was experienced In tilling orders
( promptly because of the great demand
for Immediate delivery.
DUV GOODS UNCHANGnD.
Very little chanpo Is taking place In the
wholesale dry goods niaikct. Prices are
not fluctuating and the volume of business
transacted from week to week varies but
little. At present liberal orders for fall
stocks are coming In rapidly , which shows
that country merchants arc expecting a
big business. There la also considerable
demand for spring and summer goods owing
to duplicate orders.
Reports from hardware Jobbers Indicate
still further falling off In the demand for
their class of goods. They say , however ,
thnt this Is not an unusual condition , as
pleasant weather at this season of the jcar
always has the same effect. When the
farmers get their crops planted an Im
provement Is looked for. In spite of the
rather slow condition of the market there
Is still a shortage In the supply of screen
door netting , poultry netting und steel
eoods.
lloot and shoe Jobbers are not particularly
rushed for this season of the year. Their
traveling men are on the road and are
meeting with fair success. A decided Im
provement Is noted over last year and
consequently jobbers feel pretty well satis-
fled.
WHOLESALE FRUIT AND PRODUCE.
In the produce market the demand for
staple goods Is very satisfactory , but any
thing In the line of fancy goods does not
seem to be In very active demand. Oranges
nnd strawberries nro In good request , but
apples nro scarce and high and for that
reason not very fast sellers. Vegetables
aru unusually low for this season of the
year , so low In fact that very little manIn
Is left for the prowcr. In some Instances
producers are complaining that this Is the
lowest market In the west and consequently
refuse to ship here.
Local elealers are very much Interested In
reports from California to the effect thnt
nhlppcrs of fruit In that stile nre at a
joss to know what to do on account of the ,
damage to the fruit crop from frosts and
drouths. The Indications , It Is said , are
good for a largo crop of grapes , but even
these are threatened by the dry weather. .
As yet very little can bo told as to the
final outcome of the fruit crop. Within the
last year or two a very large business In
fruits has been done with the south , so
that even If the supply of California fruit
should fall short of requirements It docs
not necessarily follow that there will bu a
shortage In Omaha. Colorado , especially ,
has come to supply this market very largely
with peaches.
RENTS AND URAL , ESTATE.
Those who are In a position to know say
that the present prospect Is that rents hive
not yet reached the top. though there Is not
likely to bo another genetil rise. The con
tinually Increasing demand of the -week for
Inside property has brought a slight rise
in particular localities. Several lenses for
un extended perod were renewed last week
at a slight Increase. Store buildings , par-
ttcul irly south of the viaduct , which rent
for six months nt a time , have all Increased
In rent about 10 per cent. Small store
buildings In the north part of the city ,
renting from month to month , are on a par
with house rents , though the demand Is
not so strong. Store room Is still plentiful
In the city nnd rents on this kind of prop
erty can hardly bo expected to stay up.
Iteal estate transfers do not show much
change cither In number or price , averaging
fttnut $20,0i)0 ) pe r day. No change for the
better In the actual salable value of prop ,
erty In general can bo expected so long as
the isreat number of forced sales crowd the
market , though a tendency toward a
Btroiiger market Is seen In some particular
choice sales now being negotiated.

CHICAGO , April 23.-A bulge of 2c In
wheat wan cau cd near the close today by
| the following cablegram from Lonilon :
"llussln has withdrawn nil offers of wheat.
Ktisslan prices advanced 15c per bu. this
RJl . " Local bears were utterly routed.
July , which had touched S7Uc , wns rushed
up to StHc. closing with n net gain of % { {
| . /
Uc at 69c. Corn nnd oils rallied with
wheat , cl.slng Uc higher. Provisions vvcro
ww
weak , but made some recovery. Pork lost
52c , and lard nnd ribs 2',4c ' each.
Declines In wheat futures at Liverpool
nnd favorable crop news , coupled with lack
of out'lde orders , caused a weak opening
In this market today. July , which closed
yesterday nt SS fSSWc , WHS for sale at the
opening from fciUc to ik34c , and was kept
on the down grade until It got down to
Jf7',4C , from -which point It commenced to
gradually recover. September was equally
depressed , opening down 'ifilic nt SG iQ1
iGHe. May held during the same time be
tween J1.12 and $1.14. Lelter reported nc-
ceptnnecs to ii fairly liberal extent. London
reported a cargo of .Manitoba hard spring
taken at u price equal to $1.15i par bu ,
Minneapolis nnd Duluth markets weru
| strong enough to suggest famine In the
not distant future , prices for July being
about 'sc ' nbovo July prices here. Uecr-
bohm'h estimate of the world's shipments
for the week was 8,000,000 bu. Ilecelpts nt
Chicago were 10S cars , GS of the-tn contract
quality. Minneapolis and Uuluth , the
former of which Is now di.iwlng supplies
largely from Kansas , received 218 cars ,
ngiinst 15'J last week and 3S7 u jear ago.
The sensation of the clay came nenr the
close of the session , nnd leferred to the
wlthdiawal of nil offers of wheat from
Kussli to the United Kingdom , accompanied
I by the statement that the price of Hustlati
wheat had risen the equivalent of 15c u
bu. this week. T.iat stirred up the market
here , nnd sent July up In n whirl In the last
few minute's , leaving July t Wc for the
day. .M.iy sold between Jl.l- and { 1.14 , clos

Tor n Saturday there vvas 11 Urge run of
stock , 1S3 oars being reported In , us against
1G5 n week URO. The g.iln was almost en
tirely In hogs , there being very few sheep
hero as compared with n week ago and on.y
about the same number of cattle.
CATTLE There vvcro llfty-nlnc bads of
c.ittlu here , while Chicago and Kunsai. City
repotted not enough to establish quotations.
With such small offcrlncs ut all selling
points and with no especial re'.isoii for
anticipating an ) thing mole than an oral , .uy
run tor Monday , It would seem as If theie
ought to have been n fair demand for fat
cattle of ull kinds.
Iho demand , however , did not materialize.
The weather was waim nnd eneivatlng and
the market seemed to have a bad nttuek of
spring fever. The bujeis did not appeal to
take enough Interest In the c.ittlu to Keep
awake und eveiy time they made u bid It
was so low aa to put the seller to s'eep
In other words the market was not only
weak and lower , but It was entirely devoid
of life und activity. It vvas a drag from
start to llnlsh and It was late before any
thing of uny Importance vvas done.
While' the week dated with the market
In anything but a sitlsfactory condition so
far us belling Interests were concerned , It
was not so bad us It might have been taking
the week us a whole. In fact there was
some little Improvement In values durlns
the early part of the week , especially on
tidy , light and medium weight cattle. The
gain , howevct , vvas ull lost during the last
two dajs so that values at the end were not
much different from what they were at the
close of the previous week. The best selleis
all the week wete handy beef steers nnd
good , light heifers , while heavy branded
cattle were slow on every day of the week.
The volume of business In stock cattle was
very limited us the country Is apparently
mjre Interested In preparing the ground for
the season's crops than In looking for
stockers or feeder ? .
The only explanation for the market be
ing in such a condition at the close of the
week Is the uncertainty regarding the Im
mediate future of the dressed beef trade.
No one can form any definite Idea of what
to expect during the coming week. All they
know Is that the export trade , us well as
the domestic , has not been very large the
lust week , and as u matter of self-protec
tion the pncUers do not seem Inclined to
place themselves In a position to be caught
with coolers full of beef for which there
might be no outlet. The very fact that ilfy
do not uppenr to want the cattle shows that
at the present tlmo thcie Is a very In
different demand for meats and no as
surance that It will bo any better next
week. .Representative sales :
