T.asl "week1 * cold wave nnd snow storm
hriyo given a more favorable turn to local
trade conditions. H Is of course too lute
In. the season for a few days of cold
WMilhcr lo have much Immedlale effect
upon Jobberk' trade , for , ns fur as they are
i-om-ertwd , wltvter trade Is over with , but
It IH not so with retailers. A rood deal of
complaining h n bron done wll winter be
cause of the luck of sonconablo weather
nnd the consequent curtailment In the vol
ume of business. The fact that country
more-hauls' shelves are. slllt well supplied
W'tli winter goods would seem to show that
these com-
tlicro Is some JuMIIIcalion for
I.lultitH and for that reason cold weather at
oven this late ilnto Is very Wflonmi.lol > -
Ijors always dread lo see retailers carry
over largo stook" , for. they say , it miiKtH
them overcautious In placing orders for the
coming yoir and the gencr.il sentiment IH
4hat If stocks In the country can only be
cleaned up close enough before warm
weather sets In to put retailers In a good
Tramo of mind next ycar'n business will
lie secure. There Is also another reason for
Jolibers wauling cold weather. When trade
In the country Is slow It c.innot be ex
ported that ilcctlons | will bo any lee good.
For several weeks ipasl jobbers In all lines
have hud more or less lo pay In regard to
the condition of collections and it seems
ithat , whllo there 'ha ' 'be ' n no great dlf-
limit y experienced , therii lias noverlhelesB
In Iho numlwir
lieen a Hollo-able decrease
of'bills ' jiald up promplly. An Improvement ,
however , In 'inls dlrcetion is looked for In
the near future. Taking all things Into
consideration , then , the outlook for future
"business In this section is much better than
It was a week ago.
The wholesale markets ns a whole arc In
much the same condition ithoy wore In a
week ago and It Is to he noticed that whal-
ever changes there are reported are In the
ilroftlon < if higher prices. Firmness and
n -tlvity nro the leading features and all
Indications poem to point to this being the
case for aomo tlmo to come.
ColTuL' .Mi'.rUot KxcHoil.
The most Important Incident In last week's
grocery Ir.'ido. was the great excitement In
coffees. The market liua of course been
advancing rapidly for HOIIIO tlmo past , but
Itho climax mi far was ie.icb.ixl lust week , as
rei > orts show that , there -W.IH great excite
ment ii > eastern marketH and that upecula-
tion waH wild. It is mild that brokers are
freely .betting that No. 7s will BO to J.V t > y
July 1. The present , value Is ! H < - . which Is
a4c higher than It 'Was ' ton ( lays ago. The
excitement seemed to have been brought
about by ipcoplu realizing that consump
tion Is running far nhcad of production.
Statistics show that at the prevent time
there are only about 12,000OOH bags pro
duced In a year and that 15.0no.000 are being
consumed. The visible supply since Octo-
lier 1 has < lecr ised by l.GOU.OlO bags and at
that rate tlio- surplus , H Is said , will last
only about a. year. Local Jobbers are freely
predicting higher prices , but are cautious
nboiit expressing their views as to Just how
lilK-h the market wll Igo.
TJio market on refined- sugar Is the. same
ns It wias a week ago , but raws advanced
a full > , tc. and Indications are thought to be
favorable for higher prices on rellned as
twell. Axle grease advanced again last
week , the higher prlccn being caused by
advances In oils , boxes , tins , etc. , as well
ns by higher freight rates. Farinaceous
Roods nro quoted' ' the same as they were a
week igo. though the market Is llrm. In
spices , pepper and cloves are higher than
they - -were- . week ago and Indications are
that still hlghor prices will lift seen on the
former. SeA-eral articles In the woodenware
line luive. Viocn marked up again , clothes pins ,
Vaittor dishes , tubs and palls being affected
the most. The market on dried fruits Is In
about the same condition It was a week
ago. but higher prices are being predicted
In the near future.
Ilnrdwnre Hard < o Get *
llardwnro Jobbers also report a good , nc-
llvo market for last wec-k and are hojitng
to reap BOIUO .benelit from the. recent cold
wave In the way of better 'collections. It
seems that general merchants have had no
dllllculty In disposing of their stocks of
hardware this winter , hut have used much
of the money obtained ifrom that source to
pay for unsold stocks of dry goods , boots
and Bhoos. That Is alxHit the only way In
which the mild winter hast affected bard-
'waro men. The market Is in 3ust about the.
MI mo condition it wia a. week aeo and It is
thought that it will not go any lower as
Jong ua the present shortage In goods shall
last. A. prominent jobber of this city in
fllKMklng of the dllllculty In getting sup-
riles said that some goods that were 01-
riered a year ago for last fall's trade were
Just coming In , so that manufacturers ar < !
from twelve to fourteen months behind.
That of course does not apply to manu
facturers of all classes of hardware goodH
for some arc e.ven worse off than that , while
others linvo not run KO far behind.
Dry ( iumlN PrlecM Stiff.
The situation with dry goods Jobber. "
remains practically unchanged. They arc
Ktill getting In their spring and .stlmmct
goods anil shipping them" out into the coun
try aw rapidly as possible. Traveling men
arn meeting with good success on the road
and are sending In heavy orders from mer
chants who failed to place their order.s
earlier in the season. A representative from
a local house who lias just returned from
the east reports stocks scarce and price *
ntlff. Hosiery ami underwear In summer
weights are especially scarce , but it seems
that sellers In all lines have matters prac
tically In their own hands. The volume
of business In eastern markets is still un
usually heavy , and Indications nro that the
present scarcity of stocks will continue for
some time to come. As far us the local
markets are concerned there is not much tc
bo said , prices remaining practically In tin
name notches they wore a weolc ago. The
coltl weather did not bring In any onion1
for winter goods , lint undoubtedly helped
retailers to clean up their stocks , and In
that way will help Jobbers In thl-lr fall
trade.
Shorn Travel Count rywnrd ,
Hoot and shoo Jobbi rs had nothing par
ticularly new to report regarding th con
dition of tradP. They are rushing sprint
goods into Hit' country at a rapid rate nm
are well satlsllcd with the prospects foi
future trade. The fact that retallen
cleaned out a few more of their heavy
weight slioes lust week. It Is thought , wll
put them In a bettor humor and make then
inoro willing to jilftco liberal orders fm
slimmer goods. Local Jobbers are a' '
present .looking at samples for next fall'i
stocks , and Mud that while prices are goix
and stiff they aiv not much different fron
prices on summer uoodu.
Htibhrr goods men are more cheerful thai
they have been for several weaks , as the
demand for rubbers was better last weel
than It has been any time before this win
ter. A local rutuiler remarked tli.it he soli
more rubbers last week than during thi
two months preceding , and it Is though
that Iliii Hiimo holds trim with the inajorll ;
of dealers. If that Is the case not nearl ;
hs much stock will bo carried over ns wa
contemplated , und will go a long way to
ward doing away with the surplus of sloe !
In IhU section.
Thu hide market Is not as unsettled as I
was a week ago , and there N nu chang
In quotations. It Is thought that the mnr
IIP ! will be fairly stationary for some llttl
time.
I'riill iiml Produce ,
Not much of Interest took place hint wee !
TYltn fruit and produce dealers. The velum
rif trailn was noni ? too large , but prices ill
not llnetlmtp to any great extent. Th
potato market Is still attraftlnu consldera
bio attention. Local dealers arc uoiivlnrci
that there are a good many potatoes left I
Nebraska , and that Minnesota In full o
them. The only thing that maintains th
market al Its present position , they ray. 1

Feb. 10. The center of Inter
est on the Hoard of Trade was shifted to
the corn pit , that market being exception
ally strong and active. May closing ? 4QTjc (
over yesterday. Wheat , Influenced by corn
nnd belter cables , closed llrm , May He up.
Oats closed 'Ji'flHc ' Improved nmlprovisions
also u trifle better.
There wilt be no morning session of the
board on Monday. It was a sad session for
short Fellers In the corn pit for iho coarse
cereal , afler an early gain on which trad
ers confidently sold more than they bad
bought , failed to follow Its usual custom of
reacting nnd climbed sllll higher. Trade
was active nnd largo and Ihe crowd grcaler
than In any other pit. The Influence of Its
strength overspread the whole floor. The
source ot the market's power was some
thing of a problem. An enormous chipping
business was claimed , but Now York re
ported only fitly boatloads taken for ex
port. Offerings from Illinois , from which
Chicago has recently drawn most of Its
supply , were very small und receipts 496
cars here moderate. The main Influence ,
however , seemed to be the large purchases
made by moneyed speculators , whose ac
tions were followed by a horde of lesser Iji-
lerosls. Their maneuver lo fix a higher
price for the cereal which they are sup
posed to hold In good nuantllics was nt
least for the day successful. May sold
'
from 4ifi33'c ( at the opening to Si's Sl'so
nnd closed ? iQTic up at 31 Vic.
Wheat was firm without being very ac
tive. Bctler cables , duo largely lo smaller
world's , shlpmenls and Iho exceptional
strength of corn , were the Influences. New
York reported six loads taken for export
and seaboard clearances in wheat and flour
were 537,000 bushels. Primary receipts were
510,000 bushels , against. 464,000 bushels last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 437
cars , compared with 317 last week and 311 u.
your ago. Receipts here were & 3S cars ,
none of contract grade. May opened at
GSiijjSSVic , 4c over yesterday's close , sold
oft to GSHQGS ic nnd reacted to GS c , clos
ing He Improved at GSH9GSic.
The oats market was strong on a good
general demand. Receipts here were 272
cars. May ranged from 23V c ut the openIng -
Ing to 23c , nt which the market closed , %
@Hc over yesterday.
The market for provisions was not a big
one. A weak hog market was felt at the
opening , which was lower for pork , but
steady for lard and ribs. This was recov
ered , the slrcnRth of corn being a factor.
The demand was fair nnd offerings light.
May pork sold from $11.02H to Ml.15 and
closed 2V-C over yesterday at $11.12 < & ; Hay
lard from J6.10 to $6.15 , closlm ? 2V..C up at
$0.15 , and May ribs from ? G.Oi to $ G.07W.
with the close a shade better at $ G.05fiG.07 < * . .
Estimated receipts tomorrow : Wheat. 37
cars ; corn , 550 cars ; oats , ISO cars ; hogs ,
39,000 head.

NEW YORK , Feb. lO.-The movement of
prices on the Stock exchange had little
significance 'today ' , as operations were
largely confined to the closing up of con
tracts by the airofesslonal clement. There
was a continuation of realizing sales ut the
opening. In spite of 'the ' tranquillity with
which the latest news from South Africa
seemed to be. accepted by the London mar
ket. The rally in the market after the
bank statement appeared made It evident
that part of the selling had been for short
account In anticipation of an unfavorable
statement. The rally did not mean neces
sarily that the statement was considered
favorable , but simply that the bears de
sired to cover their short contracts before
the two holidays pending. There was
ravhcr acute weakness at times In St. Paul ,
Missouri Pacllle , Western Union , Burling
ton and Sugar. The movement of prices
was rather erratic , but the net changes on
the day are small and mixed , with the ma
jority on the side of the losses. The clos
ing of the market was strongat a rally on
the short covering. '
As n matter of Jji-t opinion on the bank
Htatcmenl was confined and perplexed. Thu
cnormouj loan oximr.slon caused amaze-
nunt. In no single week during all of last
year did the loan expansion reach $16,000,000.
In the week ending February-4 last year
loans \\cre Increased $13,151,400. due to the
active lloa-tatlon of now Industrial combimi-
tlontf , then In full force. This compares
with J'l,152,400 Increase this week. tSlncu
Jami.iry 13 loans have been Increased $14-
lihi , ! , comrwred with an Increase of J33-
197.SOO In the correi i > onillng period of last
year , when speculation and company flota
tion was In lull tide. It Is RUgge. tcd that
some of the deposit account ) * which passed
from the hanks to the newly organized trust
companies during the course of hint yeat
ate now coming back to the banks. There
is nothlnir In the regular coursn Of busi
ness or s-.ieculatlon to account for the. recent -
cent Arvtit extension In the loan Hem of the
clmrlnir liotmo banks. Returns of ban'n
Icnrlnss by telegraph for live days to tin
Financial Chronicle show a sharp i.iilint ; on
at the four principal eastern cities and Increases -
creases at Chicago and St. Louis In con
siderable proportion , while at New Orleans
the Increase over last year is nearly 46 pei
cent over last year. The Increase In th <
south is doubtless duo largely 10 the activity
In the. rotten market and u suggestive i/ :
future demand upon Now York for fundi
from 'that ' section. 'But ' the clearing house
let urns only servo to perplex the problem 01
the phenomenal Joan expansion of New
York Ixink .
The upward movement of pileea. whli-1
found Its Inception last week In the menu
Blocks , broadened out this week so as u
embrai-e pretty much the whole 41st of se
curlticH dealt In on the New York Stot-1
exchange. By Hi * middle of the week tin
advance had apparently reached Us cul
mtnutlon nnd on Wednesday afternoon tin
l ears siu'cecded In toppling over the over
extended Ions account of speculators wit )
liiMiil/cli-nt resources and u reacllonarj
tendency supervened Such reaction l'i
i'vltubly dlftcourigc outside interest In tin
market und buttings fell back Into ( hi
bunds of professional operators or lm i
moneyed Interest * ! who have to do with tin
control and detailed knowledge of the uf
fairs of the great corporation * .
The movement of the market has bc 'i
almost wholly duo to technical causes , th. .
general news uf huidncHM being with l > u
few exception ; ; favorable and availing ji ,
a little to maintain r. firm undertone to tli
stock market , even while It Khowed weak
ness due to technical cause * . The advanci
. In prices WHB viewed with more or less dls
J trust , owlns to the palpable manlpulatloi
which ( u-companlcd It Professional ball
pools , known to be long of stocks , were < > b-
sfrved to be ( lidding up prices of thflr
holding. In BCI ordHliep with a well rei-ojs-
nlzed prim iplo of a"ilr > n iimonR profes
sional operators. It I * one of the strongest
propencltles of human nature to dcolre to
possess BomethlnR that Is > een to be nrl-
vanclnt ; in prices. So that a pool of slock
operator ? , after buying thousands.of Miarcfc
of a stick and then advancing the price by
bids for smaller amounts of stock by suc
cessive stages , may find sullk-ient demand
for the stock aroused among the outfldc
view to nhporb all of the pool holdings at
the lllBher level. Needless to say such nn
operation Is niwlstrd by any authentic good
news regarding the particular stock af
fected or regarding the general speculative
prospect , as well as by rumors and "tips"
of good things to come , the latter belns
even more effective with a , reckless class
of speculators than the sober nnd reliable
business fuels. But , however true the news
may be which accompanies n Me , the com
pletion of the operation above described
leaves a m.irket In n weakened condition
technically. Stocks held by compact , well
organized pools with skill and money re
sources to buy up the supplies offering and
thus maintaining the price , have passed to
weak and scattering holders , who have
bought them with borrowed money on a
narrow margin and who have no resource
but to sell out when prices decline. Then
comes the bear operator In stocks , who ( \clls
large blocks In a buoyant market nnd bor
rows them for delivery until he ha * offered
prices down and wiped out the margins of
the unfortunate speculator , forcing him to
sell out al u lower llRtire to the prollt of
the bear. The outside Interest aroused In
the stock market early In the week by the
manipulated advance nnd the favorable
news developments WIIM so considerable as
to absorb the holdings of speculative bull
pools nnd also , according to current report
and Indications , some large holdings by
banking and large financial interests , which
bought stocks In the December panic nt a
level of absolute safely. Conservative in
terests of this class take a certain prollt
on such holdings rather than bold for fur
ther rise on prospects of future value.
The rather violent collapse in prices of
the midweek and the steady stream of
realizations later show conclusively that a
considerable proportion of the previous
buying was for purely speculative account
by weak Interests. But In many slocks
Ihero has been evidence of large and per-
slstcnt demand nt all price levels touched ,
which Is a good Indication of an absorp
tion going on for Investment purposes. The
motives of this kind of buying were sev
eral , Including the declaration of new or
Increased dividends , both on railroad and
Industrial slocks , the high level of earnings
maintained by the railroads , the large
volume of their trallle In spite of advances
of freight rates now In force and the pros
pect of advances tp come In olher classes of
frelghl , notably In bituminous coal.
Plans for consolidation of control of com
peting1 railroad systems weie also In pro
cess of completion. The numerous ramifications
Iron Industries show a
tions of the great
healthy tone for the future contracts , which
are all that caiv be considered in that busi
ness , owing lo Ihe full engagement of pres
ent capacities. Large < 1mnk clearings out
side the money centers of Ihe easl show the.
continuance of general biislneos activity
above lust year's high level , notwithstand
ing the falllns off In purely speculative ac
tivity. The. high price and the active mar
ket for < otton are believed to assure future
prosperous condition und potential demand
for merchandise and products from a large
portion of the country. Money continues
of renewed absorption
easy , but the prospect
tion by the. t'nlted States treasury In taking
up Hie revenue surplus nnd the reduced In
flow to New York , owlnp to renewed use
of money In business at interior points , nd-
monlRhc.i to caution In Inflation of credits
on ur.uound speculative values.

CATTLE As usual at the close of the
week , there were very few cattle In the
yards today , and not enough to really make
a. market , had they all been on sale , but as
It happened , just about half of them , or ten
cars , were conslRiied direct to packers from
Kansas City and were not offered for sale.
The market was abput what sellers have
come to expect on the last day of the week ,
that Is , It was slow and Indifferent. Soinp
of the buyers did not BO up into the yards
at all , and those who did as a rule wanted
the stuff at low prices to pay thfm for
their trouble In carrying It over to next
week.
The tendency of the cattle market seems
lo bo downward , and there is no doubt but
what buyers are working to net It down
on thu supposition that there are a good
many cattle on feed. T'heiiefforts have
been greatly aided by the large receipts at
most market points , though South Omaha
has not had anything very extra of a run.
The market here has been , If anything ,
better than at most points , but It , too , has
gone lower. The low day of the week was
Wednesday , when the market was In bad
shape , but on Thursday and Friday It re
covered a little , and at the close of the
week Is only 15Ji20c lower than last week.
Cows and heifers have not been In very
large supply at any time during the week ,
while the demand for that kind of cattle
has been very good , with the result that
the market has not suffered as much de
cline as the market on beef steers. Cows
and heifers arc not to exceed lOc lower
for the week.
With fat cattle going down rapidly the
market on stockcrs and feeders has fol
lowed the' downward course , and for the
week the general run of cattle of that de
scription Is fully 25c lower. The amount
of trading In that kind of cattle Is small ,
as the country does not seem at all anxious
to buy under the present C9ndltlons gov
erning the fat cattle market. Representa

Re lower under the Influence of the reports
from other markets nnd the lower provision

decline regained. In other words , the hogs
today sold 2'ii/5c lower than yesterday.
The hogs sold today very largely at $1.77'-
f-4.82'i. ( ' with $4.SO quite a popular price foi
good loads and $4.85 for a few of thu best ,
