TlnsliicHs Interests In thin city anl sur
rounding territory nro still In n most pros
porous condition. From practlcnlly all linen
Dt business come fuvorublo reports showing
big gains In the volume of trnnanctlons
over corresponding period of lust year.
lEvon the clearing houso reports show thiit
Omuha Ih well up toward the top of the

In business. TuklnK everything Into con
sideration. It Ih doubtful If there over hns
been n. tlmo when till branches of trado
"were. On an firm a footing In thin flection
of tho country an they aro at tho prose.nl
time.
Tho wholesale markets are In much tho
amo condition they wcro a week ago,
though thn tendency of priced Ih decidedly
Upward. Thero seems to bo no weakness
ef Importance In Hny lino and na far as
known there Is not likely to be any for
uio iiriraeni.
I a retail way, local trade conditions
rc exceptionally prosperous Lending rner
chants say they never haw spring business
open up more favorably than It has this
reason and aro looking for blK run of
trado from now on. Not only Is tho volume
of sales larger this yeur, but the quillty
nf goods purchased Is also Improving, which
is considered a favorable sign.
Sugar ItefliierlcM' FIkIH.
Whnlosnln grocers report business as mov
ing u ong In about tho same way It was
a week ago, although they are having about
nil the trade they can handle. One Jobber
remarked that Friday of Inst week was one
of tho biggest days over had and the other
Si1.. of .tno wpek were not fur behind.
Taking t.ho mnntli of March as a whole,
thn grocery business shows n gain over
the same month of latt yenr nf about 20
rer cent, wldi h Is a big gain considering
the fact that last ear was the best year
ever experienced up to that time. In r.
pure! to market Hurt nations, there Is not
much to ho said, us but very few Import
nnt change) have lnl;en place. The sugar
market Is unetiannd In spite of the fnrt
that this is the time of year when the
market usually H-lvnnccs. The law prices
ruling this season are owing lo the fight
existing between the American Sugar Kenn
ing compnny and outside refineries. It Is
claimed that sugars aro now being sold by
manufacturers nt a loss. The canned goods
market Is also unchanged at this point, al
though several lines have been advanced
In eastern markets. The coffeo market,
owing. In part, to the fight between the
ppackugo coffee men. eased off a trllle and
In some cuses was quoted from u uiiarter
jto a half cent lower. Htatlstlcs for March,
(however, show that the visible supply of
cotTeu decreased during that month 223.000
;M5?A,!vh.,rh 'eaves the visible supply nnlv
6,200.000 bags, as compared with S.00D.0O)
liags In October. The rate at which con
sumption of coffee Is Increasing Is shown
ny the fact that In March of last year the
decrease In the world's supply was only
r.,600 lings and In ISPS there was an Increase
hiippIv amounting to 160.000 bags
AVIth them figures In mind local lobbers
Pay that higher prices are bound to rule
pooner or later. Starch, on account of
lilgher priced corn, has ndvnnced df?H cent
lho rope market Is In a very strong posi
tion and higher prices are looked for nn
Recount nf the reported shortage In the

Active SprliiK Trnile.
Hardware Jobbers arc also well pleased
"with prevailing trado conditions, nnd say
they are doing an enormous business. Dur
ing March their trado showed a gain of
ntiout Jo per cent over corresponding month
ZlLI.J1 'ml nd Indications are that this
month will he fully nH good. Spring goods
nre now moving out In stood shape and the
flemnnd for such lines as steel goods, wire
rloth, poultry netting, screen doors and
barb wire Is especially heavy. There wcro
no Important chnimns In market quotations

Jft . r.hle for tn. ,r remaining In that condi
tion for some ilme to come
Dry goods lobbers report trade In spring
roods n trltlo quiet Just at present, prin
cipally because traveling men are busy
taking advance orders for fall good"
Judging from the way retailers nro placing
their advance orders for fall goods they
must have a good deal of conlldencn In
future business as well hh In future prices
JobborH say that so far they have landed
more fall business than ever before at this
ycason of the year and they have onlv lust
ticgiin to take orders. The present falling

Jiectcd to assume large proportions In the
near future. Fancy lines at the present
time are In big demand and are selling
better than for several years.
Hoot anil shoe Jobbers are olio pushing
their fall Hues, but as yet they have not
been nn thn market long enough to tell
liow well they will tuke Local lobb-rs
have, not sent out all their men. but prob
nhly the majority of thent will be on the
road this week Spring business Is also
moving along at a satisfactory rate nnd
no complaints are heard. One Jobber re
marked that po fur this year business has
been 30 por cent heavier than It was a
yenr ago.
, Price MmIs Received.
Rubber goods Jobbers are once more
rendy for business. The new price lists
-were received the first of (he month anil
traveling men are now on tlm road taking
orders. In comparing this year's schedule
""'th last It is found that discounts are
Jiractlcally the same ns they were a year
igo, from May I to November 1. There
nre, however, some changes In tho lists
iPrlccs on heavy boots as a rule havo been
raised while light rubbers are lower. This
is accounted for by the fact that rubber
Is higher this year and for that reasin
tho more rubber there Is In an article the
more 1 It costs. For example, a henvv snort
ing boot that sold last year for US 65 by
tho wholesale Is now worth JO. and n henvy
Khort boot that sold Inst year for tl.so Is
now held at 11.20. Women's storm Alaskas,
on tho contrary, that u year ago wnro
quoted at I.17 are now sold nt 95 cents.
Any number of examples might be given,
bill theso Illustrate the way the lists have
been changed. In regard to the prospects
for business little can be said, but nt the
pamo time It Is evident that local Jobbers
nre all looking for n good run of trade
unless something out of the ordinary should
lumpen.
Tho hide market advanced H cent last
ivoek nnd Is quoted firm at the advance.
Local dealers say they w-iuld not bn sur
prised to see It go up another U cent during
this week.
I " r n 1 4 11111I Produce,
Thero wns a good demand last week for
anything green. Receipts of such lines
lire rapidly Increasing, but so far the do
mand has been large enough to keep prlcet
nenrly steady. Strawberries are romlne- In
more freely and a few cities of I.nuli.1 urn
nnd I exas berries were received last week.
jfxas uemcs soiu ior fi per .i-quart case
nnd Louisiana berries nt $150 per 21-plnt
case. Considerably lower prices, however,
nre looked for In the next few days.
Oranges are quoted about the same ns
they were ut last report, but Indlcatlnni
nre favorable for higher prices In the near
future. The same Is true of lemons.
The egg market, as will be noted from
quotations given In another column, are a
little higher than they were a week ago.
llecelpts are quite liberal, but at the same
time the demand Is heavy enough to put
tho price up. Poultry Is also good and

CATTLE There were only a few cars or
cattle on snlo today, ns usual at the close
of the week, and not enough to make a
test of the market. The few here sold nt
nhout yesterday's prices or a little easier
and thero wero no new features of Im
portance.
Tills ban been n week of light cattle re
ceipts, but, as tho demand has been good
nt the same time, tho market has been In
a good, healthy condition. Desirable kinds
of cornfed beef steers have firmed up and
for the week enn be quoted 15c higher on
an nverago and In extreme cases 20c higher.
Good cornfed cows and heifers have also
sxId higher, the gain for the week amount

to medium cows nnd cn liners have been
gradually easing off and nre a little lower

HOliS The hog market during the last
few days has been pretty high nt this point
as compared with Chicago, and this morn
ing when It became apparent that there was
n good run for the last day of the week, and
when Chicago also came lower buyers
seemed to make up their minds to beat
prices. The result was that the market was
2!4fi5e lower. Sellers wero very llrm and
held on like grim denth, so that the mar
ket was no: very aetlve and the morning
was quite well advanced before a elenram
was effected. When the hogs did sell It
wns nt the decline noted above.
This has been a good week for the sellers
of hogs as prices havo been the highest of
tho year to date. In fact the highest for
this senfon of the year In seven years. On
.Monday tho hogs sold 2c lower, hut during
the next three days the mnrket ndvuiio-d
rapidly and by Thursday the hogs wero
selling on nn average at $5.30, the high
point of the year. On Friday tho average
price wns the same, but on the Inst day of
the -week the market eased off a little. It
will be noted from the table of average
prices that the high point this week was
16c higher than the high point of last week
nnd that at the closo of the week the mar
ked Is about 17Vc higher than at the closn
of the week before. The demand hns been
good all the week nt current prices, so that
arrivals, which have been rather light, h.ive
met with ready sale. Roprtdwiliithr suits:
