CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Largest Demand for IHgh-Priced Holiday Qocdi in Many Yean. MARKETS FIRM WITH TENDENCY UPWARD Receipt of I'onttr)- for the Wrrk tlic Largest oft Record unit I'rli'e the Lowest for Thin Sensim of the Yeur, Tim condition of trndo In this locality last week wan most satisfactory. The fuct that thero were only tlvo business days In the week naturally had a tendency to reduco tho total amount of business transacted, but ut tho sumo time cnouKh was done In thoso flvo days to neurly make up for the loss of tho sixth. Hensonnble goods nro now moving out nt n rapid rntc nnd not nearly ns many complaints nre heard on that ecoro us was the case a shaft time go. Tho general belief ftma to be that when eevero winter weather docs arrive the demand for heavyweight, Roods will be some thing enormous. For that reason rnerchunts re anticipating their wants to a groat ex tent. Tho healthy condition of tho market makes them willing to buy for further re quirements, as thero Is llttlo danger of lower values rulliiK for some tlmo to como. Tho demand for holiday gods so far has been phenomenal nnd It Is a noticeable fea ture that tho higher priced lines have, been tho best sellers. Thero arc not many of what might ha called novelties this year, as such lines do not take as well during rrosperous times ns when money Is scarce. When times nre good people seem to tnko more readily to staple lines of good qual ity when selecting their Christmas gifts than they do to tho cheaper novelties us ually offered. Tho market on practically all linen of foods remains In a good llrm condition, leports received from eastern points show that tho demnnd at tho hands of manufac turers Is greatly Improved nnd that they now hnve about all tho business they can handle. Tho outlook for future trade Is also considered most favorable nnd as a result the tendency on tho part of manu facturers Is to hold tholr lines nt Rood s( route prices nnd In some cases aro begin ning to advance their quotations. Hunlncsn In u Jobbing way Is also on tho Increase and In fact every department of business scorns to bo In n moyt healthy condition. As long ns such conditions last thero Is of course no chaneo for prices to tnko a drop and people in general nrn counting on the present wave of prosperity being perma nent. If their predictions are truo tho trend of prices will necessarily bo upward nnd merchandise for thut reason will be good properly. Coffer Mnrkrt Weak. Tho coffee market last week took a still farther dron. green stock going off Me dur ing tho earlier part of tho week, but later on firmed up n trlllo. Package oolTeo de clined a full cent, owIub to tho rivalry ex isting between tho Lyon nnd Arbuekle com panies. Tho Lyon people wero tho first to break tho price, but their lend was quickly followed by Arhucklc. Tho market on cof feo of nil grades continues dull nnd com paratively llttlo business Is being trnns- ACt?di Thero Is nothing new to be snld regard ing tho situation In sugnr. ns the market remains In n good strong position. Farinaceous roods remain the same as nt Inst report with tho exception of oatmeal, which eased off tho tlrst part of the week. The loss, however, was partly regained tho latter part of tho week. The demand for such lines as nuts, candles, raisins, canned. oofls, dried fruits, etc., continues very eavy. owing to tho near approach of the holidays, nnd It Is thought that there will be nn enormous trndo In thoso lines during tho next two weeks. Prices have shown no quotable change during tho week, nil lines remaining good and llrm. Owing to the high prlco of corn syrups nro nrmlng up. Hardware Market AdvnneliiK. Local Jobbers report a good active mar ket on all seasonable lines of hardware. Considering tho fact that thero hns been no very severe weather the demand for winter Roods so far has been exceptionally heavy. This seems to be the case not only ati.thls point, but nllj)ver tho country as welh and as a result tho market Is firm and a number of lines nro being advanced. Onlvuntzcd Iron, for example, 1ms been marked up 10 fier cent nnd black sheets have advanced Oo per hundred. Another lino that has re cently advanced Is carrlaga bolts, which lmvo been ninrked up 10 per cent. Ropo Is also going tip steadily, present quotations being nbout lMc higher than thoso ruling thirty days ago. These nre somo of the mora Importnnt changes that have taken plnco In tho last few dnyB, but they nro a good Indication of tho general trend of prices. Tho Iron nnd steel market In hard ening up, which, of course. Influences, more or leSB, nil lines Into which those articles enter. Taking everything Into considera tion, then, tho market Is In a good healthy condition with every prospect of present prices being malntnlnod Indefinitely. Dry (ioods Market Firm. Thoro boa been a good actlvo market on all seasonable lines of dry goods tho last wk. Thoro has, of course, not boon as ninny sorllng-up orders ns would havo been tho cojio had tho weather boon more scvero, but at tho samo tlmo Jobbers havo had enough business to keep them busy. '1 he demand for high-priced dress goods and parltcularly for silks has boen quite a feature of tho trado. Merchants evidently aro counting on selling a good many hlgh- iirlced dress goods between now and tho lolldays. Trade at this season of tho year a gonerally good on those lines, but this year has been ubovo the averuge. Tho market Is still being well maintained on pructlcally all lines. Tho cotton situa tion Is no nearer a settlement, apparently, than It was several weeks ago, but tho tendonoy of prices on fabrics Is unques tionably upwurd. Tho print goods market Is firmer nt the advanco of He, which took effect November 22, and Indications are that It will go no lower for somo tlm to come. Fancy prints In particular aro firm and predictions aro bring made that still higher prlccu will rule In tho near future. Tho woolen goods market and the silk market remain unchanged. Leather fiood n Little Quiet. As has been tho case for some time post tho leather goods market Is a little quiet. Thero havo been snows nnd cold weather In somo parts of tho territory tributary to this market nnd from those localities & fair amount of business has been recolved. As a general thing, however, sUIng-up orders aro disappointing this year, both in siro nnd number owing to tho fnct that mer chants havo not sold out as much of their stock as usual. Jobbers think, however, that before the winter Is over their sales will compnr favorably with Inat year or any other year. Hprlng business Is In a vory satisfactory condition and traveling mon nro lauding a good many advance or ders, From this. It would seem thut re tailors havo no fear for tho future regard less of what present conditions may be. Tho firm condition of the leather market mnkct) It practically contain that prices will go no lower and as a result thoy aro aro in placing tneir orders now, Ilubber goods Jobbers aro having' somo trado as a result of storms In different localities and a good deal of their business has como in oy teiopunne nnu toiograpn, showing that stocks In tho country aro not very heavy Thut being tho case tho rush of business which would fo'low a general storm of considerable; severity would bo something enormous. Fruits and Produce. Fruit and produce commission men havo done a big business tho past week. In fruits the demand has been principally In cranberries, apples and oranges. As an ticipated apples hnvo again been ad vanced. .Kastcru stock Is now being hold at 13.00r3.25, California orangeii are arriv ing In large quantities and as tin- quality Is satisfactory they aro mooting with heavy salon. In vegetable! thero Is not m.ich to bo snld, us no change of Importanca has taken nluce. Tho principal feoturo of tho trade has, of course, neon tno ueiuuml Tor poultry. Ono of tho oldest commission mon In tno city remarked that ho hud never seen a year when receipts of poultry wero so large and prices so low as they wero this year. Tho supply seemed to bo turgor than tho do-, maud all over the country and ne u result prices havo boen abnormally low. A good shnro of tho tlmo thero wns llttlo or no dif ference between Chicago and Omuliu prices, which Is a good Indication that this mar ket was well In line, Uggs havo nlso gone off. as tho quotations will show, nnd tho samo Is truo of butter.

There was a com paratively narrow market for stocks today nnd tho tono was not well defined at any time. Largo and confidential buying of a few railroad stocks was In evidence, but this was partly offset by tho sharp weak ness of a number of Industrials and rpo clalttcs and the whole market turned down ward with tho appearance of the bank slntemcnt und with tho additional Influenoo of a 3-polnt bronk In sugar. Tho notublo demand for railroad stocks looked to shares of companies operating In Ilia southern r6 glon. Chesapenko & Ohio and Southern Hallway stoclts were taken In largo blocks and Mobile & Ohio was moved upward 3V4 points of a dormant stato. Sugar wis heavy throughout on doubts regarding tno npprnnchlng dividend, which rumor has proclaimed would be Increased. Reports current of a projected now refinery near New York hud a marked effect on the stock and helped to brrnk the prlco in tho final tleullngs. People's Ons. Glucose. Smolt. Ing nnd Anaconda also weakened enrlv In tho trading, American Tobacco showed 11 strong recovery from recent depression nnd tho coalers had a rlso on tho cold weather. Tho bank statement was a surprlso. Tho heavy loan expansion Is supposed to be duo to foreign Intercut requirements for Decip her 1, but the usual preparations for Jan uary 1 are expected to become eftcctlvo soon nnd the revival of the Interior demand for currency toward th last of tho week suggested caution In the borrowing of money for speculation. Tho gain In cash ut l,S42,30O was unexpected und served as a welcomo offset to the Increase In reserve requirements of J3.I51..W5, growing out of tin largo addition of JU,77S,OijO to deposits. Tho Inroad of Jl,142.ono upan tho surplus wou'd otherwise have been much larger. The con tinued lurgo demand for bonds ut advanc ing prices wns n noticeable feature of tho trading.

This Is esne clally noticeable) In tho Iron trade. The stock market was csrcelnlly tcnsltlvo to thu conrso of events In trndo. Tho relatively high money rntes abroad hnvo tho natural effect of tleprerlng the prices of foreign Investment pecurltlps nnd tho consequence Is a constant stream of American securities returning to tho prollt utile homo mnrket This represonts In nn Indirect way reluvoslment of American cap ital In homo cnttrprhes. Hut the profits of tho country's foreign trado nre n small por tion, oven now. of tho Increase of capital growing nut of prosperous business nt homo.

J10R05,C75: tlecrcnso, 11,412,600, Tho roservo requirements of tho New York clearing house banks wero Increased over J3,250,ooo Inst week through a heavy addition of J13.019.OJ0 to tho deposit total and this explains why, despite 11 gain In cash holdings of Jl.8l2.300, tho surplus reserve fell oft Jl.412,000. The expansion In doposlts wns caused nltnost wholly by tho Incrcnso of $11,778,000 In lnnns, tho latter raotor nrov Ing tho most significant featuro of tho week. It has not escaped attention that tho loans of tho banks since election tlmo have not responded to tho heavy volume of busi ness noted In every direction. This has caused a great deal of discussion and much theorizing, but ns a muttor of fuct tho banks nm now beginning to show In n be lated manner tho drains mudo upon them. The guln In loans lust week was the heuvl et noted In months, tho closing week In July having exceeded It slightly. Tho cur rency statement Is better than anticipated, ns It hns been figured that the banks hud lost 1111 amount In ensh larger than the no Mini totals revealed. Tho clearing house In stitutions In their operation with tho sub ttcuBilry hero were debtors to a largo extent and tho Interior mndo unexpectedly heavy drafts for funds, Nevertheless tho excess reserve stands nt nearly Jll.000.000 nnd as tho season Is at hand when tho natural trend of money Is In this direction fears for tho futuro hnvo been nlluyed, An unalysh of tho individual bunk reports for tho week, however, show thut the changes havo been confined to a few lnrgo bunks and theso In stitutions hold tho greater pnrt or the ensh Increases noted, Tho circulation Item Is bflng watched rather closely In financial circles, in oro as a mutter of curiosity to ob serve tho workings of the new law than with tho Idea that tho changes will affect tho situation. The banks seem to have at tained maximum circulation ricures at pres ent nnd slight decreases aro the rule from week to week. Tho present volume of cir culation reported by tho New York banks Is J30,G;o,0W. It will require a rather power ful Incentive to stnrt un upward move ment. The circulation Is less than half thut Permitted by law. Thero Is reserve pov.cr In this fact, but officials do not apprehend tiny condition that will lead to 11 general ef fort to Increase present figures. riiiniu'lnl Note. v ,iiv.liv, ll'l,, 1, V llii 1 IIIK, ff,UOI,V-", balances, JJ,B02;9,J8.

The few cattlo that d d arrlvo today woro mostly consigned direct to packers. The receipts the past week have been tho llehtest on record for some tlmo pnM. but thut Is, of conrso, accounted for by tho fuct that peoplo usually avoid shipping around a holiday. In view of tho light recolpts the tondoncy of prices han been upward on all classes of rood cattle. Corn fod steers ate probably 104fl6c htahor than they wero at the closo of lust week. Cholco handy weight cattlo aro the host sellers and command the jrreatcst premium. The hlKh prlco of tho week was 15.50, which was paid on Frldny for a choice bunch of cattlo of medium weight, Tho half-fat and common stuff Is soiling very little, If any, hotter than It was 11 wook ago, as packers never can tell how thut class of cattle nro Kolng to kill out and consequently they do not want them unless they can get them at a very low figure. The light supply of cows and heifers has had a tendency to advanco prices, tho same ,h was the case with tho stoor market. It Is safe to say that all classes, both good and bail, are selling lOgluc higher than they wero a week ago. Packers seemed to want a few cows and owing to tho light receipts they had to pay for what they got. Tho feedor trado haa not been particu larly brisk this week, but owing to tho very light supply on sulo tho good kinds sold n llttlo stronger. Choice feeders of good weight command very satisfactory prices, but tho light, trashy sttuft Is hard to move, as country buyers do not seem to want that class of cattle. Stock cows and heifers hnvo not beon In good demand and prices havo not picked up ns much as on feeder stocrs. Stock calves are about as slow sale ns they have been of late attd quotations aro not much different. . r.,fl. Proportion of western grass cattlo Included In the receipts Is crowing smaller each week and very few choice cattle aro arriving. Reef steers may bo quoted stronger for tho week nnd cows also, tho marei. ,12el1B Probably 10fl16c higher.
