'PUT1. rsAr.VI.TA TiATT.V T 1717' ! ' . CTTXTn A \rmri7\AftlTVn \ in 1 COQ CONDITION OF OMAHA TRADE Week Jnst Closed Was Generally One of Satisfactory Character , JOBBING SITUATION IS ENCOURAGING ISrcrrnuc flolntr'n * Much nil Cnn Coin- fortalilr U" 'Cured For Home Show HnrdcnliiK of 1'rlceN , ' In a general way business durlns the week just cloned wus of a most satisfactory character. As a mutter of course , there was n lull In the demand for merchandise In a retail way , but just Bitch a let up was cxptcted. This might bo aptly termed "tho period of moderate demand" Intervening between the rush of the closing weeks tif the exposition und the expected rush of the holiday Benson to como next month. Some might say that trade during the luat few days was rattier quiet , but the word "quiet" Is only n relative term , and when retailers describe the present business doing us quiet , they mean that.lt Is not 80 actlvo as it wits during the period of great activity In October , when the city was crowded with visitors , many"of whom liad come with the evident purpose of nmk * Ing the greater part of their fall nnd win ter purchases before leaving the city. Inquiries among the manufacturers of the city would setm to Indicate that most every one Is busy nnd that orders arrive nbout as fast as the goods can bo pro duced. \ Down in the J&bblng district only * peed words are heard and thu whole situation Is most encouraging. As a matter of course In some lints this Is not the busy tlmtr of year , but it Is safe to say that every one Is doing ns much us could bo expected In the month of November. Wholesale grocers report trade conditions as being about the same its u week ago ns regards both the volume of business and the range of prices. The general tone of the market Is llrm on practically nil lines , with n few quotable advances reported. In farinaceous goods , oat meal la quoted eomcwhnt higher than a week ago. but aside from that prices In this line rnmaln the sains. The exceptionally heavy de mand for cheese had caused Young Amur- leas to advance ? ic , nnd while twins re main the same , the market Is very flrm. Buurkraut Is also ntlfToultiK up and In now 23c per barrel higher Hum a week ago. 1,0030 muscatel raisins , two , three und four crown , aa well HH the seedless , have been advanced He by the Raisin Growers 'asso ciation ot California. This makes an ad vance of In per pound since the opening figures of the sensonii and It now seems to \ii thn general opinion that the association will be able to maintain these prices' . It Is even claimed that one-half of the , stock has already been marketed. Canned oys ters nro also on the Incline because of the Increased demand for raw Block. The ad vance Is put at D&7Vio per dozen for ten- ounce goods. Active Winter Expected. There Is * practically nothing new to re port regarding the condition of the hard ware trade. The markqt Is llrm on all lines , but no quotablu changes have been heard of. Orders for all kinds of season able goods ; as well ns for builders' ma terial and tools , uro keeping up surpris ingly well , nsid jobbers feel conlldent of nn active trade throughout the winter. Col lections continue to be better than for sev eral years past , which Is u good indication of the condition of trade with the retail- Dry goods are also In good request , con sidering the tlmo of year. Retailers hue un unusually heavy trade In October , and the jobbers are feeling the effects of It Thcro Is no doubt but what there Is to bo a larger demand for all kinds of winter clothing this year than for several years past and judging from all accounts loca jobbsrs are coming In for fully their share of the business. Dealers are already lookIng - Ing after their spring lines and say they will have a larger and moro complete stock than ever before. No Important changes In the market have been reported but there Is a healthy tone to the trade and a. good , active demand for all season- For the'last week or moro boot and shoe jobbers have -not been very busy , as re tailers , generally speaking , are pretty wcl supplied with winter goods , go only a few Hcattcrlng orders are being received. Fal trade , however , has been unusually heavy this year , so that jobbers have no hesitancy In saying that this has been one of tlu best years they have ever experienced Traveling men are now on the road wit spring samples nnd they report the outlook for nn Immense trade as being most en couraglng. Country stores uro all doing a nlco business nnd they seem to feel con fldeht of continued prosperity and are mor free with their orders than they have been for some tlmo past. The closing of the exposition has also helped out the country retailer , , ns his customers are no longe coming to Omaha to buy their supplies. Llttlo Is being done with rubber goods a the present time , but that Is simply due t the condition of the weather. October wa an especially heavy month with local Job bers , so that the lull is not unwelcome Local stocks are now on hand and overs ono la looking for another big run of trad to follow the next storm. For the last few weeks there has been but little change In the lumber market , s there Is but llttlo to report. Buslnew I still rather quiet , although some dealer are talking of n slight Improvement I i trade Bllnco the first of themonth. . 1 some section * of the state retailers arei hav Ing a good trade , 'while In others there I but little doing , which Is a Bood Indlcatlo thnt the outcome of crops has had con Iderable effect on the lumber trade. Bu U Is no t only In the country tributary t Omaha that the demand for lumber I lighter than anticipated , as reports fron nearly every part of the country show th existence of similar conditions. When h lumber centers ofboth the north and Hi east ore complaining of a lock of octlv t It Is not strange that trade at this poln Is not as good us might be desired. The hide market Is the same as It was week go , but receipts are gradually In creasing. More wool I * ulco being received but no important changes In prices Imv taken place. Prices on furs have bee Issued , but they may lUtctuatp to som extent' As now quoted there Is Marcel any difference between the list for tn year and lust. Fruit and Pradncc. The commission business last week wa not very active. Dealers nro Inclined t look ut It. however , ns simply a temporar lull which will glvo way In a short tlm to the rush of Thanksgiving and hollda trade. There was qulto n trade in potatoe last week und dealers generally roper stocks ns being fairly well cleaned up There Is no scarcity of potatoes , but never thelcss many dealers uro of tlio opinion that there may bi n slight advance In price when colder weather sets In , which will prevent the shipment of fresh stock to some extent. Reports from the northwest ern part of tills state say It is already too cold for shipping and that Is where the best potatoes received at thlu market this year have come from. The advance , how ever , cannot be very emit before shippers will pend. them In regardless of the In apples is still going on and , If anything. Is increasing , fcvery one feels conlldent of a sharp advance , so the better quality of apples are bung bought up and put Into cold storage to await the expected shortage and consequent advance.

The demand for uch llnra ns nuts and elder Is ulno In creasing , but the next week or so will doubtless show considerable gain in the Kulu of this class of goods. Cider will now bring $3.25 per half barrel. Only n few scattering lots of New \ork grape * remain on the market and these will doubtless bo consumed In the next few days. As far as Is known there are no f moro on thu road , so the season Is prar- tlcally over. What" few are left nro sellIng - Ing at 20o.

Enormon * Volume nf Ilnalnen Trans acted In Corporate ScctirlUc * . NEW Nov. . digestion YORK. 12.-The process of gestion of railroad und corporate securities was continued on an enormous scale nt today's short session of the Stock ex change. The public was In the market again as buyers at the opening and Jreav r orders placed with commission houses were executed throughout an extended list. At the same time recent buycra , who saw nn Inviting prospect to secure proilts nt the present advanced level of prices , were sellers. The result was a very active nnd broad market , the constant exchange of se curities going on In the first hour and re sulting In rather unimportant changes In prices , except in a few cases. With the completion of the buying orders the realizing offerings were In n fair way to exceed the demand In the second hour and prices showed a sagging tendency. But the violent advance In Sugar to 123 < 4 , or almost eight points not , caused a sym pathetic hardening In prices and turned the traders to the bull aide and Induced the shorts to cover hastily. The result was a strong closing , notwithstanding the final slump of over 2 points In Sugar , the net advances reaching a point or over In many coses. The Important movement In the Atchlson securities was continued and gave tone to the whole market. The principal activity In the movement showed n tendency to shift from the preferred to the common lock , which advanced 13-8 on the day. The preferred stock and the bonds con tinued In large demand , the former clos ing at a net odvance of 14. Other prop- ortlss In which the leaders In this movement are Interested were also notably strong , In cluding People's Gas , Rock Island nnd Brooklyn Transit , but the Federal Stotl stocks showed a halting tendency. The strength of Louisville and Southern Pa cific was due to the excellent trainc re turns of the * two roads for the first week In November. The bank statement , which was unfavorable , was disregarded. The business In bonds en the Stock ex change during the we k , which was only four full days and today's short session , ex ceeds nil previous full week's records with total sales of a i > ai * value approximating $34,000,000 , ngulnst the previous high record of less than $25,000,000. On Thursday the sales of bonds exceeded In par value $10- 000,000 , against the best previous day's business of $7,600,000 , nnd on Friday the day's business nearly approximated Thurs day's record. In the. total number of sharps of stocks dealt In , the week's record has bften many times exceeded , but In the number of different Issues in which 100-sharo lots have been dealt in the week's record has never been surpassed , thus Indicating the breadth and uniform Interest In the market. The orders through commission houses for the three days have been larger than at any time since August , reflecting the growing outfltde Interest In the mar ket. Many of these orders have como from the west nnd south , where the strong business conditions and larg > earnings of the railroads gave confidence In values. Buying for foreign account has also been a conspicuous feature of the week's busi ness on the Stock exchange , not only through the national arbitrage- channels , but by banking houses with foreign con nections. It Is evident that the outburst of activity and strength on tlm Stock exchange - change has only been repressed for some time past while , awnltlng tlio settlement of election unertalntles. I The undertone of strength In th * market last week wns due to quiet accumulation of stocks by large speculators who appre ciated the. underlying strength of the com mercial , Industrial and financial situation. There has been heavy selling to take pront ; by operators of this class all week , but the public demand has absorbed all these offerings nnd kept prices moving upward. The unprecedented volume of busln ss In the country , the continued growth of the foreign trade , not only in food products but In manufactures , the country's largo crops and assured markets , nnd the abun dance and cheapness cause all minor doubts to be Bwa'lowed up In confidence that prices will rli . Thug the low rates for freights , which have kept down the not eturns to the. trunk line railroads in spite ) f heavy tonnag , nro Ignored In face of ho effective measures for reducing oper ating expenses , which ore In course of adoption. Fears of the effect of the. out- awing of th Joint Traffic association and ilmtlar bodies are relieved by the demon- trated Inadequacy of these cumbersome ind expensive bodies to prevent rate cut- Ine. uneasiness over the possibilities of embroilment with European ? < " notably Germany , In connection with the 'hllipplnes settlement , is allayed by con- Idence that Spain Is bound to como to orms. U is nevertheless true that a c r- aln undertone of appveher.olon Is felt over : hls question and over the tension among forelgVi governments over Central African and Chinese questions and over the un- Batisfar.tory condition of some Important domestic Industries , notably coal , cotton eW"week's unprecedented business In bonds has retimed In higher prices all around , tlio middle and lower grade Isiues slowing the most pronounced .effects.

Such cattle as were suitable for killers brought good prices , and for the last day of the week thcro was no fault to find with the condition of the cattle trade. It has been a long time since BO few cattle arrived hero during a period of six days. The total receipts for the week were little more than half the average run of a week for the past month , as will be noted from the table of figures given above. As will bo readily understood by shipper * the heavy decrease In receipts Is due to Uie fact that the range cattle hKVo been pretty well run out , and that It Is still too early to expect many comfort cattle. Values during the week showed a very decided change. Cornfcd cattle broke badly In all eastern markets , and while the small supply at this point held this market up better than others It was lower. It would be a very moderate estimate to say that cornfod steers sold hero the middle of the week l&irtOc lower than the previous week. The moderate receipts and the very good demand right at the end of the week give values a little more strength , HO that the loss for the wtek was In part made. up. As. compared with other Belling points , the fat cattle market here has been exceedingly favorable to sellers. Cows and heifers were In light supply all the week , so that while values on beef steers were declining , good cow stuff was If anything a little stronger. For the week cows and heifers coud safely bo quoted a dime higher. Bulls mr the week are also strong. Veal calves have been scarce and strong all the week. The heavy falling off In cattle , was largely In feeders , and on most day of the week the supply of that kind of cattle was very meager. As there was a considerable de mand values firmed up and nro 15j30c higher , the most advance being on such cattle as sold , say , $3.Cvg3.90 ( at the low time. Common kinds of feeders have not advanced as much as the more desirable kinds , and on some days were slow sale. At the close of the week practically every thing In the yards was cleaned up.

The low prices prevailing In Kansas City , and the high prices , to gether with the moderate supply , at till * point , has Induced South Omaha packers to ship In a good many Kansas City hogti. The market today was n llttlo ( stronger on heavy nnd packing hogs , but about steady on others. Good packing hoes sold today nt $3.42Vift3.43. as against 13.405(3.42V4 ( yesterday. Good mixed loads Hold princi pally at J3.431r3.67H. light loads nt 13.45 ® 3.47'/4 , with n good load of butcher welghtH at J1.CO. A few loads of rough heavy and trashy light Btuft sold at $3.40. It will be noted that the top of the market WIIH 2'ic lower than yesterday , but buyers claimed that there wns nothing Ilko yesterday's top hogs hero today. The market was rea sonably active at prevailing prices , und the pens were cleared at an early hour. Shippers will take notice that while light hogs have been commanding a premium nt this point , they nro lower than good heavy weights In other markets. The only reason that they have sold no high here Is to bo found In the small supply , but now that packers have taken to whipping In light hogs it Is hardly reasonable to nxpuct that light weights will bring much If any moro than the best heavy or butcher weight The receipts of hogs have been larger this week than they were either last week or week before , still packers have com plained that they could not get hogs enough to meet requirements of their houses. At the Barrio tlmo this has been the high market nnd there hnti been every rcimon why nil the shippers In this terrrltory should give this market the preference over all others. The market started out thn week with lower prices , but recovered the loss on Tuesday , which proved to be the high day nf the week. Values were still lower on Wednesday nnd Friday , and the week closed "Vic lower than the previous week. Hepresentatlvo rales : No. Av. 8h. Pr. No. Av. Sh.

The arrivals this week have been liberal , as will bo noted from the table of receipts given above , but there 1ms been a decided scarcity of mutton grade * . On one or two days there was n fair showing of fat sheep , but on mortt dnyii thorn was a decided shortage. The result Is that values are 10W lie higher than n week ago. There hnv not be n enough lambs In to muko n tent nf the market , but It Is safe to nay that had there been any hero to speak of they , too , would have eold higher. One small ntnch of native lambs that were very good iroueht $3.60. , FretlltiK sheep are as much lower ns fat hcp arc higher. There worn a good many old and undcslrablo ewes In during tha vcok and the whole trade In feeders wan flow and drnggy.
