THE OMAIIA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , OCTOBETl 29 , 1800 , 21 1 CONDITION 01'OMAHA'S ' ' TRADE r General Business Situation All thtit Any One Could Ask , JOBBERS WITHOUT EXCEPTION SATISFIED Cooler AVcnthor nnd Stornm llrlnu nn Inurcnitrd Demand for Mcrulmn- C VnliK-B Shot * Mucli rirm- ue un Must IjlliCN , Trade conditions with local Jobbers ha\o been most satisfactory during the lust week The demand on the part of rcmllers In this section of the country continues hisivy and consequently all tlabscs of goods nro belnf shipped Into the country at n rapid rule. Collections , too , arc unusually good , the tendency being to do business more nearly on a cash basis than eNer beforu Manufacturer ! ! are rapidly adopting the thirty-day term njstem. which Is qulto dif ferent from the concession they granted a iew years ago. This chailgo In the credit Bymcin , so nhu Jobbere suy , In due to thu experlcncu of iho last ll\u or six jcars , when the evils of extended credit were \lsl- bli to oviryone Munufncturcra nre In a position now to put In force these reformed buulnesH methods , us they call them , be cause competition is not sh.irp and there IB a market , for all the goods being manu factured. ' 1 Menu changes on the pail o' thu manufacturers of course necessltatu jobbery making somu alterations In their terinii of credit , but the general opinion atems to liu that this tendency to reduce bmilneta transactions more nearly to a c-ash bnsls Is of advuntugo to all con cerned , UH In the long run it la a hardship to neither the retailer nor the Jobber. The tendency of the market on practically all lines la still upward and a. tew sharp ad vances took place during thu last week. Wholesale grocers report u good week's buslne&s und pay thut trade Is moving along in Just about the same channels li has been for Rome time p\ist. The market was per haps more stcaay last wet-k than of late1 , but the tendency of prices Is still upwind und eomo lines advancing. In the line ot canned too J , corn nnd tomatoes arc nt present at tracting the most attention , und particularly Is this true of thu former. It is claimed that not In a good many jears liu-s thu market on thcso lines been In tmch a strong position , with such light stocks so close to the end of the packing season. Farinaceous goods are very llrm , oitmeul , buckwheat Hour , beans , tuplcon ami sago all being quoted a little higher than they were a week ago. The market on sugar , dried fruits nnd coffee Is In practically the eumo position it was n. week ago , but nuts of nearly all kinds uro advancing. I'rlccn Xenrluu the Top. Hardware men uro also well pleased with the way business la going They say theio seems to be no lot up In the number or 6lze of the orders received , and nearly the tmmo may bo uuUl of 'the ' number of ad vances. Thu advances of last week , how ever. wcro not of much Importance to the general trade and were mostly confined to the lesser lines. In speaking of the future of the hardware market a prominent Jobber uald that present Indications lead to the opinion that prices on most staple lines Imve pretty nearly reached the top notch , but that less Important lines will continue to advance for Homo time There Is , how ever , not the slightest Indication of weak ness In the market for staples , but on the contrary there Is every Indication of strength. As un example of the general confluence In future pi Ices It might bo mated that the railroads have already placed orders for 1,000 000 tons of rails , to be delivered during the coming year. The > rlce paid , so advices from the e\ist state , } s the present market value of $33 per ton , BO It Is evident thit railroad otllcutls are not looking for . break In thu market. The I total output of all the rail mills during the Jiresent 3 ear Is estimated at not more than SOO.OOU tons , which Is 400,000 tons less than their contracts call for , and consequently that much must bo carried over until next jear. iFrom these figures It Is seen that at the present time the steel roll mlllb have contracted for next sear about 77 per cent of their unnual capacity , which is con sidered another good Indication that the Iron and steel market will bo fully main tained for at least another year. Morms fTho demand for dry goods In a wholesale way continues to bo exceedingly heu.vy. atomllers out through the country , and typeclally In the far west where some severe storms have been experienced , uro dulng a big business and anticipating u ailll t'renter demand. Local Jobbers consequently uro kept busy lining the ouleia that are coming in Irom every direction. The gen eral tone of the market Is just about the tame aw It has been all along. Print goodB ure porhapa a Httlo stronger , but practically nil lines are conutantly Jlrmingup , with , the ticmand. far exceeding the supply. Iliibber Goods Active. Nothing particularly new waa reported by thu boot und shoe men. There Is a good ileady trade in footwear , much better , In fact , than could be reasonably expected considering the weather. Everyone Is look ing for 11 Dig re-order busluety to net In OH BOOH as the retailers' stocks are broken up u Httlo more , which will not take long after cold weather sets in. The rubber t'ood.s trade hibl week experienced quite a spurt. UH retailers arc- anxious to get their stocks before the 6 per cent advance , announced for November i , gee Into effect. Local Jobbers su > they have hud about ull they could do to 1111 their orders and will 3jo kept busy for buverul days filling the orders already iccelved. a hero has been u heavy tiauo th.s reason In what are called seconds , or llghlweight goodn , and Jobbers are experiencing considerable dlf- nculty In getting tnock fust enough to till their orders , us muny of the largest manu- luctutus are oversold. The exceptionally heavy run on the lightweight goods is owing to the tact that they are oueied at ratner favorable figures ana also to the high linco ot the heavyweight goods , 'iho ue- jnand for legglns Is ulfco good this season , but snow is needed to 'uting them into jKHiulurliy. 'Iho hluo market List week showed some tendency to weaken In anticipation ot the long-haired hldeB which will soon begin to come. Receipts are on the Increase. Triilt mill Produce. Fruit und produce men found their city trade rather quiet , lust wee'k.

Beef cittlo were , easier earlier in the week and then thov strengthened nn agiln , so that at the close ot the week the market is not much different from what It wns u week ugo In other words , cornfod and gra s beef steers ure selling Just about wheie they were a week ngo Cows und heifers have ieon fair sellers all the week. They were a little easlei on some dayf , owing to large receipts , nnd btrongcr on others , so that for the. week there is not much change. Good feeding heifers seemed to be in a little better-de mand toward the last of the week and they might be quoted u little strongei Bulls have sold In about the same notcheb ull the week , both killers and feeders Heavy feeding -itcors show a gnln over a week ugo of lOJjlGo and good light cattle 15(5COc ( gain The demand for fecd'ng cattle and especially Block cattle seemed to pick up very much right after the rains reed- Ing cows were also In good demand and sold well the last of the week At the clone of the vveek practically nil kinds of cattle are disposed of and the yards com pletely cleared Representative sales ; BEEF STEERS.

Still there VN.IS a good demand and the peno were cleared In reasonably gjod Deuson As > was the case yesterday It was laigcly a lOo market nnd the big bulk of all the hogH of all weights sold at that price nnd there were not many sule % ubovo or below tlmt price. The hog market has fluctuated coiiB'dernbly this vveek. In the Hist place viilucs made a little Jump the first of the week , then dropped bnck on Tuesday , with the market wenk ugaln on Wednesday. Tl'cn vnluen took n still greater Jump on Thursday , the market on that day showing an average gain of 8c for nil the hogs sold. On Prlduy all the guln und more , too , was lost , so tha the week closed with the mar ket n shudo lower than It was nt iho clo o of the previous vveek The table of aver age prices will ehow the exnct fluctuations from day to day nnd will nlso serve to give nn uxuct Idi-n of the market changes since the beginning of the month.
