THE OMAHA DAILY BBBl SUNDAY , OOTOBBB 2 , 1898. 21
CONDITION OF OMAHA'S ' TRADE
Weather Hu a Stimulating Effect on the
Local Eetail Situation.
JOBBERS FIND THEMSELVES ALL BUSY
While Much Moncr I IleliiR Spent In
Sninll Onlcrit , ( lie Country Mer
chant * Arc Stocking Ul ( or
the Home TruUc.
Conditions governing trade were all fa
vorable to the seller of merchandise lat
week. In the first place there wcro a good
many strangers In the city , a fuct that
would of Ituclf bo uudlclent to keep moving
the wheels of commerce , A more potent
factor , however , was the weather. The
sudden change came without warning , anil
the strangers In the city who had leu
homo with the thermometer at summer
heat suddenly found themselves compelled
to lay In a store of winter clotl-.lns or
freeze. Then , too , there was the regular
local demand from residents of Omaha ,
which was naturally livened up with th
change to colder weather. The result of
oil these circumstances was that the retail
trade simply boomed during the lust week.
The dry goods , clothing nnd Bhoo houses
wore thronged from morning until night ,
and merchants had all the business that
they could attend to. Hardware people
nlso experienced an unprecedented rush ot
orders for everything In the v/.iy of tola
weather supplies , stoves , stove llxtures. etc.
While the retailers have had a good week ,
the Jobbers have been no less busy. Coun
try merchants have been Hocking In to
nee the exposition before the gates arc
closed and have taken the time to place
orders at the different Jobbing houses. At
the same tlrno the cool weather has helped
traveling men on the road , so that there
have been plenty of orders.
Groceries uiul Hardware.
The grocery trade last week was , If any
thing , heavier than usual. Local Jobbers
say they are obliged to work night and day
to keep their orders filled promptly. Thla
la one of the heaviest months in the year
with them , and us the volume of business
Is running fur ahead of lust year , and In
fact 01 any previous year , they are havliiE
about all the trade they can handle. The
market on moat lines remains steady but
llrm In tone. Whllo there Is us yet no
change in sugars , still rellnerlcs report an
Increased demand , and consequently u
much llrmcr tone than for some little tlrna
past , isow that the packing season for
canned goods Is practically over It becomes
more apparent tnun ever that the crop ot
corn and tomatoes Is much lighter than
was anticipated. As a result prices on
corn advanced lust week ZliftBc per dozen ,
and the market on tomatoes Is very llrm.
The cheese market Is also on the upward
grade , twina being reported l.ic higher and
the supply ot Young American light. In
farinaceous goods , peas , beans and oat
meal are all higher than a week ago. Quo
tations on evaporated apples show arii ad
vance of ? ic and It Is said' that Indications
are favorable for still higher prices. Cali
fornia , dried fruits are ulno very llrm. An
advance In loose muscatel raisins and fancy
peaches Is also reported on the coast.
Tnero la nothing new to report regarding
the hadware trade. Orders are still pour
ing in as rapidly ns ever and trade Is
brisk In all departments. No change of any
consequence In the market Is reported , but
the general tone Is very llrm. The shortage
In seasonable goods Is still felt to some ex
tent , but not as much ns it was a few
weeks ago. Local Jobbers are well Pleased
with the general outlook , and feel continent
, nice trade
that tney are going to have a
ihrouchout the winter. .
The present condition of the weather is
very favorable to a brisk retail trade m
dry goods. Underwear and hosiery are es-
poclallyneeded und munyretallers are learn
ing that thcln stocks are not going to last
very long and ore sending In new orders.
Local Jobbers have already felt the Im
provement in trade since the colder weather
Hot in , but It Is quite probable they wlII
feel it more this coming week , fcuch week
Jobbers say they realize more fully that
this has been one of tie best If not the
very best year they have ever experienced.
Trade has come canleV than ever before , us
many country merchants have bought their
supplies from the house directly and not
thiough a tmvcl.ng man. In previous yearn
local Jobbers have had more men on the
road nnd done less business than they nave
this year , which Is a good Indication thiyt
there has been more business to be had
this year than last. There are no changes
In the schedule of prices worthy of men
tion nnd no very Important changes are
expected.
Cooler Weather Helim Matters.
The trade In boots and shoes has also
been benefited by the cooler weather. Con-
slderlng the time of year local Jobbers say
they are having as nice a business as they
ever experienced. Their volume of business
this season has run far ahead of what they
anticipated or even hoped for , consequently
they are all feeling well pleased with pre
vailing conditions.
It Is rubber goods , however , that have
been In the best demand for the last week
Retailers have had all they could do tc
wait upon their customers wishing to pur.
chase rubbers and since that Is true , II
necessarily follows that the Jobbing tradi
would also huvo a spurt. For some time
past iocal Jobbers huvo been having a blf
run of trade and now with the prospect 01
a long winter they feel sure they are golnj
to have the biggest run of trade on record
"vlacklntoshes ns well as rubbers are read )
sellers and considerable dllllculty Is belnj
experienced In getting sulllclcnt supplies ti
till nil the orders promptly.
The demand for lumber , however , \ >
light and dealers say there Is little or n <
hope of there being much improvement be
fore the spring trade opens up. Very llttli
building has been done out through tin
Htate this year and retailers have felt thi
dullness considerably , as they were look
Ing for a big run of trade and stocked U ]
heavily. It is said that most of the coun
try merchants still havu a good supply o
lumber on hand and so even it ther
should bo some Improvements made ye
this full , It would have , little or no cffec
upon the Jobbing trade. The present con
ditlon of the weather In also favorable ti
the trade and has cut oft much of th
buMnena that was being transacted. Thcr
will , however , b eomo business to do , a
scattering orders are bound to come li
and from some sections of the state ther
wilt bo a lining tip of orders. It shouli
bo remembered In this connection tha
lumbermen have after all had a falrl :
good year , as their summer and early ful
business was enormous und brings th
average for the year up to a very satis
factory level
The hide and wool market IB In rathe
an unsettled condition , up one day an
down the next. It Is thought , howevci
that It will become more settled shortl
and will probably be somewhat lower tha
at present quoted. Hides are coming 1
more freely than for some time past , bu
It Is expected that the receipts will con
tlnue to Increase from now on. Prices o
turs will also bo out In a short time.
Krult und Produce.
Trade with commission men last wee
was not productive of any very tmportan
changes. The volume ot trade remain
about the same no matter what th
weather may be , and even the falling o
in the number ot strangers In the clt
docs not seem to have affected trade t
any appreciable extent.
New York apples are now In the marke
but In a limited amount. More , howovei
are reported as being on the road and nt
expected to arrive In the next few day :
They nro quoted at the present time c
from $3.60 to J3.75 and It la thought the
will not go much below that prlcu , as nj
pies are not very plentiful. A good era
IB reported In some sections of New Yorl
but theno more fortunate sections at
rather far apart. California jx-aches ui
still In the market , but are getting scare
Twenty-pound cases bring 11.25. Pears ai
also to be had , but neither the demur
nor the supply Is very great. They ai
quoted at $2.25. $ New York grapes ai
steadily advancing In price and will sec
bo out of the market. They are no
ouotcd at ISc ,
The egg market made several advanci
last week and nt the close ot the we <
esgs were selling nt lGQ17c. Hocclp
ware reported nu being light , while the d
mand was quite heavy. Gathered crcati
< sry butter is still llrm at 20i21o and sepi
rater at 22c , In poultry , hens are dull ni
will hardly bring over 6'4c , Spring chic !
ems. .however , are In fairly good demai
nnd ilrmed up the latter part of the we <
HO that they sold for "ViQSc. 1'rulrlfi chic :
em * advanced last week owing to light r
celpts and a better demand from the h
lulu and restaurants , Young chickens anew

CHICAGO , Oct. 22.-A rather ufciisatlotiut
advance at Liverpool today , In face of the
weakness here yesterday and nn excellent
demand for cash grain from Europe , ad
vanced wheat sharply , December closed
IQl l-8c higher. Corn gained 3-SOV4c ; oats
rose Uc , pork lost 6c , lard 2 < , Sc and ribs 5c.
An advance of 1 5-84r2d In the price ot
wheat at Liverpool and no noteworthy de
cline In consols made a decidedly strong
and higher market for wheat hero at the
opening. Sales for December wcro lVie
hlcher at G7iBG8c and there was u further
gain of V c. shortly afterward.
Accompanying the early news from
abroad was a New York report of largo
additional soles for export and further
purchases of December futures by the ex
porters. There were reports of Hour ealea
to Italy , the first on recur 1. and also Hut
houses with Australian connections were
muKing inquiries tor Hour. Bt. Louis mean
while advised thut the bids from abroad
on whcut vary 3e per bushel higher than
nt the close last night and Minneapolis re
ported the wheat stock on hand there was
sutllclont for only a limited period of
Kttnulngr. Northwest receipts were 9b2 cars ,
which was considerably lighter than ! iov
week , as the result of .he recent rough
weather. Chicago received 19S cars , against
139 last year. The primary receipts all
told showed a liberal quantity of wheat re
ceived , being 1,635,000 bushels , as compared
with 1,001,000 bushels a year i go. The ex
ports for the day from tno loading Allan-
tie ports were equal to 752,000 bu. of whc.it.
Under these conditions shorts were forced
to cover and the fluctuu.tl3.is were from
G7 io to CStte. There was a liberal volumu
of business donu In the pit. Ntur ' .no end
the war scare lost some of Us Inlluence
when It was found that continental mar
kets were nil lower und British consols
higher and the price of December reacted
to G7&67 7-8c , which was tha cloainu
llcure.
A good export demand with renowea
speculative buying , Incited by the wheat
strength and the foreign situation , caused
a strong feeling in corn. Receipts were
463 cars. December opened % c higher at
32 ( 32 l-8c , weakened to 31 7-sc , then ad
vanced sharply to 32 3-8a32&c , caused by
an attempt of the shorts to even up uu
trades for the. week. There was considera
ble taking of proilts by longs during the
closing hour and the price was forced off
to 32c at the close.
The Improvement in wheat and corn
caused a general increase of speculation
In o.its and a substantial advance In
prices resulted. There was a good cush de
mand nnd IOiX > ,000 bu. were taken here for
shipment. Traders that sold yesterday
bought heavily today and the market
closed strong at a shade under the. high
prices. Receipts were 251 cars. Muy
sturted Vl@3- ! higher nt 24V4Q21 3-Sc , rose
to 24 5-Sc and closed at 21 He.
Traders In provisions were bearish on
account ot the. amazing receipts ot hogs
everywhere and a decline In prices for the
same , .there was only a slight concess.on
on the general list , however , us the
strength In gralnu checked nny concerted
selling' . January pork opened a shade
lower at J9.20. improved to J9.22V4 , declined
to J9.15 nnd closed at $9.17'/i. ' The range in
lard and ribs was narrow.
Estimated receipts for Monday : Wheat ,
195 cars ; corn , 410 cars ; oats , 220 cars ; hogs ,
45,000 head.

NEW YORK , Oct. 22. The stock market
ng.iln showed Itself Independent of tin iio-
prfsslng Inllueni'c of London and Europe
except "ni the opening , when a few of the
International stocks wcro allowed to fall
below the London parity. The selling of
stocks on foreign account made up u con
siderable proportion of th ; day's business
nnd wns well absorbed nt advancing prices.
The buoyancy of the wheat market made
the grain carrying roads prominent In the !
movement , the buying of Atchlson securi
ties , particularly the preferred , uicaln oc
cupying n conspicuous place. The Hocks of
nil the western roads were well bought und
advanced In prices. Sugar ended HH down
ward course very early and closed nenr the
top with n net Rain of Hi , the underlying
strength manifest In the market making
the bears timid about leaving short con
tracts uncovered over Sunday. Tobacco
also wns marked up to 1223-8 , with every
evidence of violent manipulation , and shorts
were driven to cover heavily at every stage
of the advance. Even the coalers showed
the. effects of the uncertain temper de
veloped by the bears and mudo recoveries
on short offerings.
The bank statement was just about us
expected and had llttlo effect one way or
the other. The gain In cush had been In
Imported gold nnd outgo from the subtreus-
ury , and the heavy Increase In loans ot
oVer JIO.600,000 represents for the most part
loans on stocks. The Increase In deposits
from this source expanded the reserve re
quirements so far that the Increase rnsh
only served to raise the surplus by J3,750,755.
Business In both stocks und bonds was well
distributed and active und the market
showed a 'decided tendency to broaden out.
The amount of business done was laiger
tnun lor tiny half day for some time.
The market has shown a growing strength
nnd activity ns the week ndvunced und
has fairly shaken off the lethargy which
oven the long array of favorable factors In
the situation has seemed powerless to
awaken It from. Even so phenomlnnl a
showing ns St. Paul's earnings for the second
end week In October the largest In the
rond'a history and nearly $110,000 over those
ot last year , served only to eiicourugo a
feeble resistance to the Industrial manipu
lation for a decline by the board room
i traders In stocks. ,
1 The uncertainty of the European political
, situation was cited us additional argument
for a season of dullness and declines. But
, curiously enough the more the threatening
I developments of European politics have , indirectly -
. directly at least , given the stlmulous to the
stock mnrket which enabled It to shake off
Its torpidity. The week's events in linanclul
I circles have , In fact , given a striking
demonstration of the strength of this coun
try's financial position and Its power to
treat with Indifference old world develop
ments. There has been nothing in the do
mestic Hltuutlon which has caused moro
doubts to financiers than the low price In
prospect for wheat , when the crop , tem
porarily held back , should come forward.
But this week has seen the crop coming
forward In unprecedented volume. Yet so
keen has been the foreign demnnd for our
product thut the lurgely augmented primary
movement has made but little Impression
on the visible supply. Even the domestic
demand proves unexptctedly keen , Indicat
ing that the sweeping out of the world's
reserves by last yenr'n high prices had evi
dently left a void which our unprecedented
crop wns needed to nil. The later news of
the military and naval preparations in
France , nnd , toduy , In England , resulted
In a feverish demand for wheat , which , It
maintained , would mean Incalculable nd-
vantage to this country , already enriched
by last year's bountiful harvest ut high
prices.
The. prosperity of the western country
from tnlH cause Is conclusively demonstra
ted by the large westward movement of
merchandise , which carried earnings ot
western railroads well bove last year's
level even before the. resumption of the
grain movement. The week's recovery In
stocks logically begun , therefore , amongst
the western grain carriers , and owing to
Individual causes , Atchlson preferred took
a leading pla.ce In the movement.
The money markotfl have shown them
selves equally Impervious to the influencn
of the stringency existing In ull European
centers , the Bank , of France being the last
of the government aided Institutions to ad
vance its discount rate , which It did on
Tuesday from 2 to 3 per cent. Meantime
the large excess of our exports over im
ports , which the grain and cotton move
ment aided , hud been making exchange and
Instead of drawing- this It hus been loft at
Interest , mostly In Germany , to be liquida
ted in the future. The money stringency
and the war scare abroad have thrown
not far from 100,000 shares of stocks on
the. New York exchange for liquidation
during the week , but these have been ab
sorbed at advancing prices and with
money rates declining- . Foreign markets
are known to bo pretty well stripped of the
usual flouting supply of American securi
ties. But the conceivable result in the
event of an actual war In Europe and the
tapping for liquidation of the vast amounts
of American securities held abroad for in
vestment does not leave the situation free
from uneasiness.
The bond market has Improved In sym-
puthy with stocks ns the week progressed
nnd prices have recovered from curly de
pression. United States old 4s have ad
vanced 14 , the new 4s , coupon , and the 5a ,
registered , 3-8 , nnd the 3s , coupon , und 5s ,
coupon , 1-S in the bid price.
The London Evening Post's financial ca
blegram says : The stock murkets hero
opened dull toduy , then rallied slightly , but
finally closed Hut on the political Hltuutlon.
Business hero so fur as the public Is con
cerned Is qulto nt a. standstill and Is likely
to remain HO until some definite turn comes
In the political situation. The profession
als nro also nervous and nro contracting
speculation to the narrowest limits. Thu
London market discount rate Is 3 7-8 per
cent and very firm on the Bank of En
gland's control of the mnrket. I learn ,
however , that New York Is undoubtedly
making advances to this market for about
three months.

CATTLE The receipts this morning were
heavier than usual on the last day of Ihe
week , but Ihere was Ihe usual lack of 111-
leresl In thu trade. Values were nominally
steady with yesterday. Only a ffcw loads
of beef cattle were offered on tne market
und they brought steady prices , onu buncb
being good enough to sell nt $5.20. Cow
bluff was also unchanged. Feeders were as
slow und lacking In Interest ns usual on
the last day of the week.
As will bo noted from the table above this
has been a week ot liberal receipts and btlll
not much larger than two weeks ago. Fut
cattle were scarce ull the week and the
market on anything In the way of desirable
beef steers was fully steady. In fact corn-
fed cattle If anything were u llttU stronger
for the week und on most days the trade
was active at prevailing prices. Town und
heifers , such as would do for killer. s-old

Thursday the trade wns a little s-low und
weak , but It wus n lltllo more active on
Friday , nnd for the week values were not
materially changed. Feeding helf-jrt . CW.IIB
