THE CnCATCA DAILY BEE: SUXDAT, JULY 22, 11)00. 17 V J I 1 i CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE General Rains Throughout West Give Eettcr Tono to Business Dealings. GOOD VOLUME OF TRADE FOR QUIET SEASON Coffee nml KiiRnr Ailtnner Minrpty ami Nciirly All (iroerrle Are I" Inn, lint Other Lines Remain Prnetlenlly t'nolinngril. General rains over a lurgo part of tlie country tributary to this market have given a decidedly better tono to all lines of business carried on In this city. Beforo the rains thero was a nervous feeling re garding futuro trade and retailers through out tho country wero beginning to cancel orders -previously placed nnd had stopped buying more Roods. Future prospects now uro better than they havo been nt any tlmo und dealers aro again ordering goods for fall nnd winter and trado In that regard Is entirely satisfactory. Thero Is, of course, not much doing In Immediate business, ns Is always tho caso In July. Dry poods Jobbers, boot nnd shoo nnd hnrdwaro men all report a falling off as compared with last month, but still tho volumo of business Is fully as heavy ns It was u year ago and no complulnts aro hen rd. Tho markets generally nro quiet, only a few Important changes having taken plnco during tho last week. Groceries, how ever, havo fluctuated considerably, but moHtly In tho direction of higher prices. Hardware and dry goods aro declining rather than ndvnnclng, but aro not materially different from what they were a week ago. Coffee nml Simnr Advance. Tho coffco market Is still attracting a rood deal of attention nnd prices are steadily going up. Since last report quota tions on package coffco aro Ho higher and preen stock has advanced Kr. The demand Is heavy In nil sections of tho country, us stocks seem to bo pretty well cleared up, snd tho tendency Is to lay In supplies be fore tho market goes still higher. Those who are most closely In touch with tho situation say that prices aro bound to go much higher, ns coffee cannot bo bought In Brazil at present quotations, owing to a largo extent to the higher rato of exchange between that country and this. Another factor that Is tending to advance the mar ket is tho rapid decrcaso In tho vlslhlo supply. Last month that was cut down something like 200,000 bags and tho surplus loft Is growing small. Rugar Is also going up. tho advance dur ing tho week amounting to 10c per 100 pounds. The demand continues enormous and New York refineries claim thoy aro still oversold far Into tho futuro. Advices from London also show sharp ndvnnccs on nil grades with prospects favorablo for still higher quotations. Tho cheeso market Is very much higher than It was n week ago, owing to the fact thnt tho demand Is heavier than the supply. Canned salmon Is still holding tho at tention of tho tf ride nnd present Indications point to still higher prlceB for tho 1900 pack of fall-caught goods than wcra In forco a year ago. Flour Is quoted a trltlo lower than It was a week ago, owing to tho drop In wheat. In tho dried fruit lino thero Is an advance In large-sized California prunes and new evaporated apricots. It Is claimed that tho evaporators aro short of holp and for that reason tho output of apricots on tho coast will not bo moro than S00 cars, whereas 1,200 wero expected. Tho foreign domand Is unusually heavy this year and It Is said that 1M1 cars havo been bought for export purposes. Good July IlnrdUvnrc Trnile. Considering tho tlmo of year thero Is a good demand for hardware. Dealors aro not buying for futuro wants, but aro simply ordering ns they havo need for additional titock. Trado In tho country Is good ns a general thing, with prospects of Its be coming verv actlvo when thn harvesting unison Is pnssed and farmers havo a llttlo moro tlmo. With good crops thero will undoubtedly bo n great deal of building done this fall, which should create n big demand for all lines of builders' material. At tho tircsent tlmo thero Is no special feature to the trado and tho market Is also without Imnortant chanacs. Tho tendencv Is mill to cut down prices, but no quotable ennnges navo neon reporteu. Dry floods MnrUct Quiet. This Is strictly bctwoen-scason ncrlod with dry goods Jobbers. But few orders aro coming In for summer goods, so thnt about all that Is being dono Is In tho way of getting In shnpo for ndvnnco business. Hhlnmcnts nro nrrlvlnir every dav from enstorn manufacturers and ns rapidly as possible tho stock Is being put Into shapn to reshln Into tho country. This Is fully a month earlier than advance orders nro usually tilled, but tho big lino on hand has mado jobbers anxious to nil as many or them ns possible early so as to bo nrenared to handle tho business that will como In later on. Traveling men aro greatly encouraged over tho nrosnect for futuro business and think thero Is ovcry Indication of trado this mil una winter being tno nest over ox perlenced. Tho market Is practically In tho same condition It was a week ago and no Im portant chunges nro looked for In tho near futuro or until moro Is known about tho outcome of tho cotton crop. Hunt nml Shoe Trade Dull, Jobbers of boots nnd shoes aro having a quiet tlmo. Very few slzlng-up orders are comliiK In. as stocks In the country nro not broken up badly as yet anil probably win not uo to as great an extent as is usuully the caso. Fall business, however, Is In good shnpo nnd prospectH aro that It will exceed nil previous records. A few advance orders to tho far west are now betnir tilled and lieforo lone It Is the In tenttu.u to begin shipping out tho goods as fnflt na nn.qfltlile. Rubber goods men aro also doing but little business. Tiiey uro miming a row orders tor. fall delivery and slnl'o tho rains they nro having much better success than previous to that time. Thero la now reason to bollovo that many dealers who have held oft up to this tlmo will placo their orders nnd not wait until thoy actually need the BincK, Tho hide market rcmnlns about where It was a week ago after tho sharp decline took place. It has held about steady, but It Is Impossible to tell which wny tho next inovo w: be. Fruit mid l'rodiiee. There bun been a lively demand nil tho week for fresh fruits and vegetables. A number of lines, however, that hnvo been on tho nurkot for tho lust severnl weeks nro beginning to run out. Strawberries aro entirely gone and the same Is true of black raspberries and currants. Cherries nro also nearly gone, lllackberrles are about all that Is left nnd they nro selling at J2.2.1 tier twenty-four quart case. Hod rnsp. berries are held at $2.50 and blueberries uro quoieii at 2.2.i per sixteon-nuurt caso. The California fruit trado Is now tho tnot Important feature. Apricots nro worth S1.ST. plums, J1.1.W1.25, and prunes Sl.SSTil.35, Ilnrtlett pears are now In good supply und nro quoted at $1 75j2.00. The supply of apples Is Increasing and thov aro held ut T.'cfitl.on per bishel. or $2.7u 3 n.) per barrel. Tho big demand for lemon nil over tho country has advanced the prlco to $5.60 for fancy stork nnd $5.25 for choice. In the vegetable line thero Is not much tn bo said, as about all lines remain where they wero a week ago. Tho quotations will lie found In another column. Eggs are still selling nt ll'e. and tho stock ronung in is very poor it is claimed that closn tn 2ii per cent of the eggs received nro spoiled. Hens are rather scarce nnd aro llrm at TV4Si.Sc Snrlnir rhlckeim. hnw. ever, nro coming In very freely and are ronaitienioiy lower man tney woro a week ugu. miner rcmnins uucnaugcii.

July 21 There were 11 fnw sporadic cases of strength In tho stock market today, but none of tho gains held at tho highest and somo of them were moro than wiped out. In tho railroad list South ern I'aclllc mid St. Paul were tlie nnlv stocks to make any considerable show of Hircngiu, Amongst tno specialties Leather, tho New York Tractions nnd Tennessee Coal wero the features. Sugar wns lifted 2 points nt the opening, but It wns very obviously for tho purpose of affording a market upon which to renllzo profits. The stock closed 3 points below tho high level and dominated tho whole market. As the London exehniiKo was not In session today and hnd adjourned yesterday beforo the receipt at Washington or Minister Conger's mcnanco me eiicei 01 tutu news on tno English market Is still somowhut prob lematical. French rentes rose 15 centimes today. But tho sceptical tono or the British press as to tho authenticity of tho Congur ii'cssngc left 11 doubt In tho minds of spec ulators as to how It would affect the mar ket. Tho figures of the bank statement are ngnln rather mystifying and they do not "prove." The receipt this week of $3,500,000 in gnui, wiucn wns snipped last weeit rrom the IVelllc coast, accounts for tho larco in. rrcnrtn In tho reserve. Tho decreaso In the loan Item Indicates that Herman borrowers are still repaying loans of New York cap ital. Sterling exchange advanced In Par:a and Berlin and was llrm, though nominal here, und cnll money hardened In Loudon, Increasing the likelihood of nold exnorts noxt week. The much-mooted question of how the large trada balance' In our favor nas ueen pain or mot is purtiy unswered by the appearance today of advertised of ferings by New York and Chleaco bond dealors and bankers of a varied list of for eign government securities, including Ger man. Russian, Swiss, Dutch, Belgian, Swedish und Canadian securities of many denominations. The market closed at unim portant net changes, Prices of stocks havo been raised another notcn ns a result ot the wceK's trading. But the character of tho market has nut materially chanced from Its strictly nro. fosslonnl lines. Operations by speculative pools have had Borne temporary effeot In moving prices of speclnt stocks or Individual cause havo affected others, Thero havo been some slight sympathetic responses In the general list. Hut there has been mani fest dltllculty In maintaining prices nt any new level and tho persistent tendency has been to return to a fixed level. The notable movements or tne weeK nave been mostly In tho specialties and havo been helped by me loreeu covering oi snort contracts, Sugar. Brooklyn Transit, tho Iron nnd Hteol stocks and Paclilc Mall havo been notable examples, liprorts nave continued with somo success to ndvnnco Union Pacific. Tho conclusion hns breomo goncral In Wall street that this stock has to go on a I per cent dividend basis nt the next divi dend meeting. Nevertheless efforts to ad vance the prlco have encountered largo offerings of the stick. An annnrently au thentic announcement has been mado that th Baltimore & Ohio common stock will get a 2 por cent dividend for the half year. Illinois Central received thn extiecteu In crease In the hnlf yearly dividend with a small resulting price movement. The sup- million tnai tno military operations in hlna would resJlt In Increased demand nnd transportation or supplies ns well as troops has affected Pacific: Mall and the Trans continental railroad lines. The strength of iron and steel stocks nns niso been attrib uted to this Influence. The receipt of somo orders for Mulshed products nnd n more conlldent feeling regarding trado conditions are mo more iiKeiy cause oi tno movement In the latter group. But notwithstanding these animating causes tho business ot the Stock exchange has continued near the low record and no sign or outside Interest hss been shown. The break In tho grain markets shows that sneculators havo overestimated thn damago dono to tho crops. But with tho corn crop still unmatured and tho spring wneai and cotton crops unnnrvesied, tno prosent estimate or tho year's crops is by no means a finality. Lastly, there Is the money market outlook, about which thero Is a crent dn'iht ntw! nneertnlntv. Thin hna shown ltseir during the week In tho nnxloty vi uorrowrrs to proviuo mcmsoives witn runds by time loans running later Into tho fall. Money hns been scarce for theso longer periods, while offerings aro super abundant .for the shorter periods and for call loans. It is now generally accepted that n considerable amount of gold will bo called rrom New York this summer to help out the reserves of the great foreign banks, notwithstanding tho largo trado balanco In our favor, which remains unliquidated and which Is In constant process of increase. The demands of foreign governments for cnpitni to conduct military operations In China aro expected lo keep money rates up ' " jiuini nun win mase u proiuniiio to leave Amerlnnn enriltnl In fnrAttrn Innno Tho Bank of England has Inaugurated a policy or retrenchment nnd recuperation by an unexpected advance or a full 1 per cent from 3 to 4 per cent In Its minimum rata of discount, nnd has been nblo by borrowings uurn mo open mnrnct to carry tno private discount rato tip to Its own rato. In tho NOW York mnnnt' mnrtfAt' Mia itainV Ti.! lleflclt In government revenues, which ".mounts for tho month thus far to nbout $1,000,000. has been for tho benefit of tho market and has offset the treasury recall pf deposits from national banks. Tho paid In deposits havo also released government bonds held by tho treasury as security, and theso have been redeemed In tho caso of tho called 2 per cents nnd refunded In the f.nso of others, and promlums paid. But tlie July deficit In frneernmaiit ninD l duo to only temporary heavy expenses nnd ii..- i niuiiiH mo process oi taKing tne sur plus revenues nut nf tbn rlreiilntinn nt ii... country will bo renewed. The action or tho Treasury department In rescinding Its call for repayment of another $l0,000,ono of gov ernment deposits Is doubtless a recognition or tho strain which might result on tho money market. So also Is the authorization py the Treasury department of the payment by the San Francisco mint for gold nrrlvlng w.,i mu lYiuiiuutu aim jvusirniia ny tele graphic transfers on the VirL" nutartit pfllce. Uncertainty In the money market IV i "ouui wneiner n perioil or tight money can bo avoided when theso various requirements converge upon the market.

As n. result of tho Unlit sunnlv mid good demand tho tendency of prices has been upward on nearly all lines. Strictly cholco cattlo may safely be quoted 10itfl5c higher for the week. On Thursday, tho high day of tho week, It Is thought the cattlo that brought $5.40 sold fully as well as thoy would on any day ot tno nionin, wmcu takes the market back to whcio It was around the Fourth, Ueof cattle on the commoulsh order aro nlso selling better, owing to the light rccolnts. Western grass cattle are. or course, coming In com petition with, that class or stock, but as yet thero havo not been enough or them to seriously offect the market und prices are now around a uime nigner man tney wero a week ago. Cows havo also been In light supply nnd anything at all good has met with ready sale. Prices aro stronger on that class of stock and In somo cusus have, perhaps, ad vanced ns much as beef rattle. Common stock, however. Is slow and no Improvement in prices nas taken place, tsiocK cows nr heifers aro In good demand and bringing anywhero rrom 15Q23C more than they wero ncroro tne rams, mills, calves una stuja urc not materially different.
