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 now hold ut J4.00 and old ones at 13.1 Ducks are quoted the eame as a week ag St. l.oulM Market.

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.

OPEHAT1O.VS IX STOCKS AXU BOXUS. Snlo * of Stock * on 1'iirclnn Account Mnki-N l"p Mol of Dnv'x HIIMIICKN. | 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.
