Local trade condition * are not materially
different from what they were a week ago.
Unseasonable weather still prevails , which
Is having a rather bad Influence on many
lines of business , especially those which
have to do with cold weather goods. Trade ,
however , taking all things Into considera
tion , la In a good * healthy condition and
jobbers are generally pretty well satisfied.
Outsldo of the wholesale grocery market
very few changes in prices took place last
week. All lines , however , nro In a good ,
strong- position , with no signs of weakness.
fTho local retail trade wis not very active
last week , owing to the ptormy weather
ivhlch prevailed the greater part of the
time , keeping shoppers at home. There
wttJJ some demand for wet weather goods ,
eo merchants handling1 those lines had a
fairly good trade.
Ilrlnk TluuikMKlvliiRr Demand.
Grocery jobbers report nn active demander
( or last week nnd say that the Thanksgiv
ing trade Is getting nicely started. The
bulk of It , however , will come this week
nnd Jobbers are making preparations for a
big run of business. They are getting their
ndvnncu orders of ifall ( roods pretty well
cleaned up , but nt the same tlmo there Is
enough of these left -when taken with the
fresh orders that are coming in all the ttmo
to keep them busy. Tho' market on most
lines Is not much different from what It
was a week ago , but still a few advances
have taken place. Several lines of canned
poods advanced sharply last week , espe
cially oysters and some kinds of California
fruits. Oatmeal was marked up again , 'tho
udvnnco this tlmo amounting' to 10if20c { per
liarrol. Beans are also lOo higher than they
were a week ago and green and "Scotch peaa
11 ro also belns quoted a little higher. The
) > lg demand for nuts and candles Is causing
these lined to advance and some scarcity Is
reported In walnuts and almonds. The ad
vance on several lines of pall candles last
week amounted to % o per pound. The
sugar market 'is In just about the same
position as a week ago , no new develop
ments having taken place. Citron Is also
In blp demand and is being1 quoted I < g2c
per pound higher than It was a week ago.
Green coffees have been marked up again ,
the amount this tlmo being ; % Qlc. per pound ,
and the market Is quoted firm at the ad
vance.
Hnrdtvnrc Market Sternly.
Hardware men are still having1 a good
trade and say they havo' no complaint what
ever to make regarding the course business
ia taking. The demand for seasonable
goods would of course be a llttlo more
t > rlk it the weather were cold , but at the
earno time there Is a. good , steady trade ,
) which Is very satlsfactoryy to local Jobber *
Trade out In the country seems to bo In
fairly peed condition and but very llttlo
complaint Is coming from that source. Col
lections , ' too , are In good shape , which 19 a
peed Indication that retailers' are not hav
ing a very hard tlmo. There Is practically
nothing to bo said regarding1 the condition
of the market , as It Is In very much the
same position ft has been lor several weeks
] mst. No advances of Importance have
taken place lately , yet the market Is firm
on practically all lines , with no signs of
weakness. Local jobbers do not seem to bo
looking- for any very Important fluctua
tions , cither up or down , In the near future ,
but tire looking-for a good , steady.-healthy
market.
Dry Good * Hard. toGet. _
The -wholesale dry goods -trade Is still
rather under the -weather. The rains of last
week did not help matters any and con
sequently Jobbers nro not having a very
rushing business. Trade out in the country
Is a little qulot and doubtless will bo BO
lone as warm weather continues. Jobbers ,
( however1 are not doing any complaining , as
they know .trado will be all right as soon
ns the weather becomes more favorable.
rrhero Is nothing ; especially new to be said
nbout the condition of the market , as prices
nrestllUirmall along the line , and , as there
are-more buyers' 'than- sellers , .It > ls moro
n question ot how to get goods than what
price shall bo paid for them.
for Snow.
Boot nnd shoo men are In about the same
fix. as dry goods men. But few orders > for
immodlate shipment nro being received and
It is said that retailers' stocks are Rtill
quite complete. Jobbers , of course , cannot
expect to do much until retailers have some
business , but when trade does open up It
will doubtless como with a rush.
Rubber goods men nro also calling trade
dull , as thus far there has been almost no
stormy weather at all. The rains of last
week , of course , stirred things.up , a trllle
in a retail way , but still the demand was
not great enough to break retailers' stocks
up to any great extent. Jobbers consequently
quently did not reap any immedlato"benelit.
About all the jobbers can do Is to nit down
nnd wait for ft snow storm , which , it It
ever comes , will undoubtedly give them
plenty to do. , ,
The hide market advanced about Me last
week , and nrlces are firm ut the advance.
Receipts are gradually Increasing , hut a
still greater Increase Is anticipated for the
near future.
Fruit nnd Produce.
The near approach of Thanksgiving day
has not helped the fruit and produce men
to any great extent : as yet. Trade with
them seems to bo unusually quiet for this
tlmo of year , but they are looking for
homo Improvement this week. There was
moro demand for potatoes last week than
for some tlmo past. Prices are gradually
firming Up , as the market Is not very
heavily supplied. Good stock nt the present
time is worth 30tfT35c. Sweet potatoes are
ntlll on rtAlo nt prices ranging from ? 2.25 ®
4.00 per barrel , the price depending Upon
the kind of potatoes and the slzo ot the
barrels. Cranberries arc In good demand
iuill are quoted at J5.75ij6.00 for Cape Cods
and $ G,60T7.00 ( | for fancy Howes. Celery Is
selling' all the way from 20c to 40c. There
Is practically no change In the quotations
on good shipping apples. Grapes , both
Now York and California , are also quoted
thq same and are said to bo In good condi
tion. Mexican oranges are worth Jl.OO ®
4.25. and California navels J4.50.
Kggs were In rather light receipt last
week and the demand good , the bulk of
receipts going nt IB'.ie , The supply of
butter was a llttlo more liberal nnd prices
fell off a little , as will bo seen from quo
tations bolow. The poultry market was In
good Hhopc. the supply nnd demand run
ning nbout oven. Very little dressed
poultry was received , but dealers sav that
It can bo handled this week without dllll-
culty oven should the weather stnv warm.
A big demand for all kinds of poultry
Is looked for from now until Thanksgiving
and good prices are being predicted , There
Is no change In the quotations on game ,
TJio demand for oysters continues un
usually heavy oven for this tlmo r year.
Dealers say there Is n peculiarity about
the oysters this year which Is seldom no
ticed , In the government report on oysters
the statement Is madn that the male has a
redd lali tinge , but local dealers arc of the
ontnlon that BOX Is not the cause of the
rolor , as It Is too general to be limited
to the males only. Dealers Hay that about
eight years ago the same thing was ex
perienced nnd most people thought the oys
ters were spoiled , when In- fact the color
does not Injure them In the least. U Is
thought that the color Is caused by some
kind of vegetable which the oysters feed
upon , nnd the fact Unit only the 'o coming
from certain localities nro red bears out
that theory ,

CATTLE There were no cattle here
today to amount to anything nnd not
enough to make a market , so that there
were , no now features of Importance In the
trade. '
The cattle market this week has been In
rather peculiar condition , due to the fact
that while the receipts at this point have
been light there has been a large run at
eastern market points and lower orlces.
In consequence there has been nresonted
at this point the unusual spectacle of light
receipts and lower prices on beef steers. As
a still further demoralizer was the fact that
the coming week contains a poultry holi
day , when beef will bo In small demand.
Chicago reported for the week a break of
60c$1.00 on half-fat cattle , as compared
with the high time , and the market at
this point could safely be quoted 60c lower
on the same basis. Right good and well-
finished cattle have not suffered very much
loss , though they , too , are a little lower.
It has been a slow , dull , and mean market
all the week and just the kind of a'market
that no one likes.
Cows and heifers have been In small
supply all the week , and good kinds of
cows firmed up a little the latter half of
the week , there being a gain probably of
about lOc. Canners have not shown any
material change.
Stackers and feeders were In very small
supply , so that the market showed some
little gains the latter part of the week , and
at the close could safely bo reported as 10 ®
15c higher. Representative sales :

HOGS The market this morning opened
5o lower , even on the best loads , but be
fore sellers were able to unload It was 60) )
7c lower. As might be expected , thu mar
ket was rather slow , as sellers were back
ward about making the concession. Btlll
buyers had the advantage of the fact that
It was the lost day of the week and as
Chicago was coming lower they were benr-
Irh In the extreme nnd would take the hogs
at their prices or leave them alone. The
hogs sold largely at J3,7&3.771,4 , as against
J3.8003.85 yesterday.
The tendency oftho hog market has been
lower this week. The week opened a llttlo
strong and hogs sold a shade better on
Tuesday , but after that the tendency of
the market was steadily downward. It was
a shade lower each day until the last of
the week , when the decline was still greater ,
so that for the week the market Is close
to lOo lower. The receipts were largo all
the week , us will bo noted from the table of
receipts , but at the name time there was a
good demand , so that there were none too
many hogs to pupply nil the demands of
local packers. Representative sales :

MONEY MARKET IS EASIER
Government Bond Purchases Enable Banks
to Increase Their Holdings.
CONTRACTION MUST STOP SOME TIME

NKW YORK. Nov. 25.-The Financier
says : The release ot government funds on
bond purchases has enabled the associated
banks of New York City to largely Increase
their cnsh holdings , the surplus reserve of
$6,052,200 contrasting sharply with the de
ficit of $312,000 reported a yenr nco. Sin
gularly enough , however , the banks taken
Individually do not seem to have strength
ened their standing much , ono largo In
stitution reporting a gain In cnsh greater
tlmn the aggregate of all the banks. The
deposit Hem shows the same result , so
that the only benefit the other banks have
derived Is In lessened reserve liability ,
which docs not offset their losses In cash.
The Individual reserves , therefore , arc in
some cases lower than last week.
But for nil this the money market has
cased up perceptibly. It Is quite probable
that the statement docs not rellect actual
conditions. The contraction In loans. It
may bo noted In this particular , Is to bo
traced to the same Institution that ab
sorbed the cash. Its loss of J5.000000 moro
than equaling the loss of nil the banks.
The majority of the banks , therefore ,
would seem to have lost slUUtly In cash
and tn deposits , and expanded their loans.
So far os the outlook Is concerned there
scorns to be a disposition toward easier
rates , although the decline may not be
more than nominal.
The steady contraction which has been
going on at this center , for some months
Sannot continue Indefinitely. Deposits are
now lower than at this time last year nnd
loans have shrunk much below the Novem
ber (1S98) ( ) average. The onlv dlfferenco in
the two exhibits Is that at this time last
yenr the banks had $13,000,000 moro surplus
reserve. As they have the onportunltv for
securing government funds now nnd as the
Interior movement favors Now York this
discrepancy may quickly disappear It Is
doubtful , however , whether the beginning
of the year will bo marked by the wild ex
pansion that opened with January twelve
months ago.
The weekly bank statement shows the
following changes : Surplus reserve , In
creased , $8,964,225 ; loans. deoron pd " ' 1"i -
SOO : specie , Increased , $3,232,300 ; legal tend
ers. Increased , $2,012,200 ; deposits. Increased ,
$1,121,200 ; circulation. Increased. $9.3UO. The
banks now hold $6,654.200 In excess of the.
local requirements.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : The general
markets were quiet today , with some1 In
clination to heaviness under realizing sales.
The selling was duo again to anticipation
ot dearer money. The news concerning the
khalifa had no effect. Consols weakened
again to 102 % . American shares opened
fairly firm , eased off and hardened atraln
at the close.
The majority of changes were unim
portant. Baltimore & Ohio and Union Pa
cific Issues were strong nnd there was a
very large demand for Pennsylvania , a
port of which was to cover local options
and a part of the buying for American no I
count. Between 10,000 and 20,000 shares ot 1
the stock were bought. Copper shares
were easier. Anacondas beinir quoted at
9 % and Bostons at 11-lfi.
Money was easy , but discounts wore
firmer , the rate for short bills advancing

To prevent the breakage of Incandescent
mantles a New York man has patented a
frame of wire , with a ring at the top , which
fits over the support , the mantle being
stretched over "vie frame before being
treated , so that the frame receives nil
shocks nnd jam ,
To rapidly moisten the buttonholes of
shirts nnd collars a New Yorker has pat
ented-a handy device , shaped like a pair
of pliers , with the JOWB fitted with a pair

Hotter Street Car Service Wanted.
OMAHA. Nov. 25. To .the Editor of The
Bee : Knowing that you have fought many
battles in the past for what you believed
to be right I venture to attempt to enlist
your service In what is of a great Interest
to many workingmen.
I have been going to work In South
Omaha for more , than live years and the.
accommodations that arc given to us on
the street car are not very good. We are
almost powerless to help ourselves , being
scattered all over the city , and having long
hours to work' It Is almost impossible for
us to make an organized effort In our own
behalf. We thereifore venture to nsk your
aid In the matter ami do not let It rejstuntil
something Is done for us. i
iLet me state a few facts concerning the
matter. The cars are so crowded thilt It is
Impossible on somu of the trains .to even
find room on the. platform and sometimes
some of the men got on top of the car. You
cannot understand how unpleasant It Is
unless you try It yourself , to 'be ' out on the
platform for a five or ten-mile ride In th&
cold or rain , holding- your dinner pall in one
hand , while with the , other you try to keep
from getting crowded , oft. Add to this
either a. noor motor or a poor motormnn ,
to that when wo get part way on our Jour
ney the imotor gives out. Then Imagine the
scramble of the passengers of two trains
to get on one. By the time we. set to South
Oma'ha ' we are late for our work. Is it because -
cause we are common workmen , wearing
overalls , or can It be possible that the com
pany is not aware of such a state , of af
fairs ? It. Is commonly reported that the
service on other lines is better than on the
South Omaha line. It would he a good Idea
for you to send one of your men to ride
some morning and see for himself what
kind of service we are compelled to put up
with. A PASSENGER.

EXTENSIVE SHEEP RAISER
Hon. Fetor Jansen ia Siitisfied with the
Results of Protection ,
SENT A LAMB TO M'KINtEY ' AS A HINT
Talk * About rropn ntul 1'olltlea AVIU
Soon tin to Turin UN Commit"-
tinner nnil Will Vldll Hut-
Hill , MU > ( lvi > Country.
Hon. I'ctcr Janecn of Jnnscn , Neb. , was In
Omnhn ihirltig tUc past week quartered for
two or three Jays at the Omnlm club. Kor
about twenty-alx years ho has been engaged -
gaged hi thu sheep-raising Industry In Jef
ferson county. Ho Is now footling nbout
23,000 sheep on his extensive ranch , nml Mr.
Jansen reports a prosperous year , owing to
favorable crops ami the conditions thrown
around the business by the republican
pollclca.
Tha ilevnstRtlng effects of the Wilson tariff
upon the sheep Industry were so discouraging
that every sheep raiser hailed with grati
tude the election of President McKlnlcy.
As ono of the nrdent republicans of this
state , as well as ono of Us foremost stock-
ralsors , Mr. Jansen sent to the president soon
after his election a nicely drcfeed lamb , with
n congratulatory letter conveying the gift
nnd Indicating that It had died for want of
protection. In return ho received a letter
from the president expressive of his appre
ciation of the lamb and predicting for Us
species the protection to which It Is entitled.
That' prediction was made peed by the pas
sage of the Dlngley bill , and as n result
prlcca of wool nnd sheep soon afterward sus
tained an advance that was most encour
aging and beneficial to the stock-raiser , If
not Indeed n source of satisfaction to the
lamb himself.
"In order to carry on our business wo have
tn raise a great deal of corn. "We feed about
80,000 bushels In handling 23,000 sheep , ando
\\o raise It ourselves , utilizing about 2,000
ncrcB. Wo figure on an nvorago of twenty-five
bushels to the ucro. By the way , the corn
crop over the Btnto Is not going to be as
big as has been generally supposed. You
know It was first estimated at 300.000,000
bushels , nnd later the tetlmnte dropped to
250,000,000 bushcJs. The shucking Is not
bearing out the estimates. I find that the
yield Is decidedly disappointing , not only In
Nebraska , but In Kansas. It Is n fair crop ,
but not a remarkable one , and I look for
pretty stiff prices to prevail. It Is better.
yon know , sometimes to have a moderate
crop with good prices than a big crop and
poor prices. Thanks to the McKlnlcy ad
ministration , good prices arc promised bc-
cause the labor of the country Is employed ,
and farmers found It almost Impossible to get
the necessary help to harvest their crops. "
Speaking ot the result of the recent elec
tion In this state , tMr. Jansen said : "I thlnlc
It was largely duo to the apathy of No-
brcskrv republicans nnd contention among
tluimEelvcs. I am quite anxlouo about the
condition and prospects of Senator Hayward -
ward , for In case ho should not. be able to
occupy his seat In the senate the vehemence
of the fight next year In Nebraska will bo
intensified. This being the homo of Bryan ,
and as there will bo in any event ono United
States senator to elect , it can readily In-
Imagined that It would add much to the Im
portance of the campaign in Nebraska It K
were necessary to elect two senators. Ne
braska is sure to bo the storm center of the
great conflict of 1000 without any considera
tion of the result of this great threatened
calamity. "
"I hope to be back from Paris in time to
take an active part In the presidential cam
paign In Nebraska. You know I have been
designafed by the president as ono of the
United States commissioners to the Paris ex
position under Commissioner General Peck.
My commission will not be made out until
after congress meets. The active work of the
commission Is performed by the commis
sioner general and his staff of assistants , and
as I understand It the functions of the com
mission of twelve will be chiefly of a social
nature. I shall probably go to Paris In
Anrll. "
Mr. Jensen expects to visit In Russia , hia
native country , before ho returns from
Europe. He left that country twenty-six
years ago , with hla father , who was exiled
for political reasons. Some years ago , when
the Century magazine published the result ot
the researches of George Kcnnnn Into- the
operations ot the penal colonies In Siberia ,
Mr. Jansen sent a number of copies ol the
magazine to friends In Russia , but they
never reached them , having been Intercepted
by the government ot the czar. Later ho
clipped Hotmail's writings from a number of
the magazines nnd sent them to the friends
In nuEsIa enclosed in letters , by which
method they were enabled to receive them.
In going to revisit the homo of his childhood ,
Mr. Jansen feels that his position as a mem
ber of the Paris commission will protect him ,
i in eplte of the fact that his father was an
exile.
