Very Gatisftctorj,
FEW IMPORTANT CHANGES IN VALUES
Retnll Trnde Crently Improved by
fino.r Stornin nnd Merchn.it Are
Now Rapidly Disposing;
of Winter Stock.
There lias not been much change the
past week in the volumo of business being
trnnsootid by local Jobbers, but therr has
been considerable Improvement In trado
conditions existing In tho country. The
colder weather and snow has created qtillo
a demnnd for all kinds of winter poods and
retailers are now rapidly cutting down
their stocks, People, of course, will not
buy ncnrly as much nt this time of year
as they would curlier U the season, but at
the same time they have to buy a cert.n
amount of goods. Jobbers are netting In
very few orders for winter lines, but they
are being benefited by the better demand
for spring lines. It looks now us though
merchants would be able to clean out their
winter goods as usual, and as u result they
re In much better humor than they were
a short time ago and are more Inclined to
buy for spring than they have been nny
time this vcar. Everything at the present
time looks most favorablo for n nice trade
from this tlmo on and also for n great
Improvement in collections, which hnve
been dragging of late.
The markets have fluctuated very little
since last report, and the situation ns a
whole could best be described by culling It
a steady, active market. Tho advances
noted a week ago uro being well mulntatned
nnd as far as enn be told at the present
time there Is not much doubt that
they will be easily mulntulned tor sumo
ume 10 come.
Orooerlrs Generally Stonily.
There Is nothing new to be- said rcf?nrd
lng tho coffee market, ns prices are prac
tically tho samo as thev were u. week nuo.
The feeling, however, Is good and linn and,
if anything, a llttlo stronger than it win
a week ago, Hugar Is also In nbout tho
same position, though It would not be sur
prising If an advance should take place
some time during tho coining week. In
farinaceous gondii there is no change with
tho exception of n still further ndvnnce
on hand-picked navy beans,
Jobbers report tint trado on dried fruits
Improving, owing, doubtless to a. great ex
tent, to tho colder weather Tho situation
In canned irnods. however, has not Im
proved, and no advances are expected until
the consumption Increases. The trade In
that linn of noods lias been rather d sap
pointing all this season, It Is thought
tho light demand has been occasioned by
tho exceptionally warm weather which has
prevailed in nenrly nil sections or mo coun
trv the irrenter nnrt of the time.
Other lines of groceries nro practically
tho samo as ut last report. While tho
markets are quiet so far as fluctuations are
concerned, thev nre active In n business
way and Jobbers report their sales so for
tnis year in excess or lost year, wnicn is
uymg a good uenl.
Ilnrilvtnre Remains l'iicliniiK-d.
Thero have been no startling changes this
week In the hurdwaro innrket. Nails and
wlro are being mnlntalneil at the advanco
previously reported and the market seems
to bo good nnd tlrm. There. Is no doubt
that th n doinnnd for that class of
goods is going to be exceptionally heavy
this year, which will mako tho market
active nnd help to maintain prices at a
high point. The Iron nnd steel market ns
a whole Is In none too strong n position
but at the same time there Is no foar of
lower prices on manufactured lines, whllo
some auvances may ioko piuce ui no cry
distant time.
Jobbers report a nlco trado on all classes
of goods and rctntlers are now selling out
somn of their winter lines, which should
have been moved somo time ngo. They nro
buying quite freely for spring for this
eany ana jouuers nre comment tney are
going to do a rushing spring business.
There hnn been no chnniri) 111 class since
last report, but another advnnco Is still
. t 1 1 ... I . I . . . . 1 . 1. .. .. .......
list will bo out this week. Linseed oil
also remains unchanged, nnd tho recent
advanco has thus far failed to cause un
Advnnco In mixed paints, White lead is
also tno samo an it was a ween ago,
Muny Iluycr-. Arriving.
The crowd of buyers expected on the dry
goods market this spring Is beginning to
arrlvo and Jobbers aro now doing a good
nousu nusinciis, is sun a very noiico'
ablo feature that thero nro many new
customers who hnvo never bought their
supplies on this market before. Those who
havo expressed themselves nil speak In
very favorablo terms regnrdlng tho facili
ties offered on this market for supplying
the demands of the western merchant and
seem to bo well pleased with their tirst
exnerlences In Omaha's wholesale district.
Tho shipping forces of tho wholesale houses
aro sun wonting overtime to get uui uio
udvnnco orders, but there are still n good
many that havo not been touched. Tho
work Is progressing In good shape, how
ever, and It will not bo long now before
they will ull bo shipped. The stormy
weather of the Inst week has somewhnt
stopped the trado In miring lines, but It is
doing merchnntH n vast amount of good
by helping them to sell out their winter
lines, Hoth Jobbers und retailers are now
In a more hopeful stnte of mind than they
have been for some time nnd thero seems
to be no reason why spring business should
not be the best on record,
Tho markets have been rather fenture
less during the past week nnd no lmportn.it
changes have taken place In nny line. Tho
rapid lluctuatlons In raw cotton have bten
rather a disturbing featuro In tho situa
tion, but tho prices on tho manufactured
articles have not changed. Practically all
lines nro held nt good, tlrm prices, und local
Jobbers uro of the opinion that present
values will hold good for somo time to
come, Representatives of local houses who
have only recently returned from eastern
markets, whom they wont to buy next
fall's goods, stuto that thero will bo little
or no change in prices from last scuson
on underwear. There Is a slight advanco
in men's llceco underwear, but it only
amounts to lOo or lRc nor dozen. The other
chnnges aro of rucIi minor Importance that
ttioy will lie tnuen up uy supplying uei
ter or poorer garment for tho snnio monuy.
Itiilitiern Move More Freely,
Tho snow has been a. boon to merchants
with heavy stocks of rubber footwear on
hand, According to nil reports retailors
havo gono a long wuy towuru soiling out
their stockB during the lust week and will
now bo In a better position to pay for
them. Should stormy weather last for
any length of tlmo they will sell out com
pletely and bo ready to start out the new
season In good shape. Traveling men for
local houses uro now on tho rond with
spring lines and nre meeting with as good
success us could be expected, The good
demand ,for rubbers Just at tho present
time Is helping them to sell spring lines, us
It reminds merchants that there uro times
when rubbor goods uro In demand.
Thero has been no change In rubber dis
counts since last report The belief seems
to bo growing that prices have been cut
Into about us deeply as tho different coin-
fanles care to go and that any changes
hat may tako place In tho future will
rather bo toward higher than toward lower
values. Loral houses aro offering their
f oods at present discounts with a giuiran
eo to protect their customers in case the
prices go lower. A merchant can buy with
perfect safety and should prices go higher
he will be tho gulner.
There is no ahange In tho leather goods
sltuutton so far ns Jobbers are concerned.
Tho stormy wenther Is helping out tho snlo
on boots and shoes In much the same way
that It Is tho rubber goods trude. Whole
salers nre now In hopes t lux t they will
meet with better success In soiling spring
lines and that trado will Improve rupldly
from this time on,
Fruits mid Produce.
Fruit and produce men have done a
very satisfactory amount of business the
past week. There havo been comparatively
few changes In prices, ns the iiuolnllotis In
another column will show. Ornnges nre
a little lower than they were, while apples
have firmed up a trifle. The latter nre
In good demand and choice stock brings
rood prices.
The receipts of fretdi eggs nro light nnd
prices nre tirm nt the quotations. Poultry
Is also good and II rm for tho same reason,
whlln tiuftr rmutiiH tihotit steady.
Thero is now n good demand for frozen
rresh fish. Tno suppiv is iinerui mm ueui.
era are prepared to till orders promptly.
Oysters are also In good supply and prices
remain unchnnced.

CUICAaO. Feb. 9. The grain nnd pro
visions markets fluctuated today, governed
largely by local conditions. Wheat closed
unchanged, corn HflPVic higher, oats a shade
lower and provisions 2;4c Improved.
Tho bearish sentiment of tho wheat crowd
manifested Itself at the opening of the
market. They wero Inclined to be some
what skeptical over recently reported ex
port business and to attach impnrtanco to
tho moderato temperature and snow cov
ering enjoyed by the wheat belt conditions
which have obtained for some days ns
well uh to needless confirmation of reports
that half of Minneapolis' flour capacity will
tall Into temporary disuse Monday. The
fact that Liverpool was comparatively
steady and that northwestern receipts
looked light against last year's they Ig
nored, afay opened H1Ic to HWU lower
at i44o to 7414c, commission houses selling
and bears hammering against the price.

JIOVEMIIMS t)F STOCKS AM) 1IO.MIS,
ttenlUlnir on Itnllrond Stocks Coii
tlnnes, but Under Coter,
NEW YORK, Feb. 9. Today's stock mar
kot was free from sensational movements,
but was fairly uctlve. It was eWdent that
realizing was going an In railroad stocks
under cover of the upward movement In
some of the very low-priced stocks in both
tho railroad and Industrial lists. Atchison
was nrm all day and In the lust five min
utes whs suddenly run up to f6'i at the
sume time that t.'nlon Pacific preferred was
sold down sharply to 87. Chicago & East
ern Illinois was pushed up Gi. but reacted
2H. and Louisville & Nushvtllo and Mis
souri Pacific wero rather tlrm. Tho
steel Blocks moved rnthcr narrowly
nnd wero Irregular, Speculators In
those stocks seemed disposed to nwalt
tho expected authorized announcement of
tho reported plan for adjustment of con
trol In the steel trade before making fur
ther commitments.
The bank statement brought some further
selling upon the market, but vigorous sup
port was forthcoming nnd no further seri
ous Inroads wero mudo upon prices. The
further largo Impairment of reserves dis
closed by the bank statement nnd the prob
ability that the steel deal Is yet to be pro
vided for undoubtedly somewhat chilled
speculative enthuslnsm, Rut the bears
were manifestly timid nbout attacking the
murket, In view of the Important possibil
ities of further great financial projects,
This week's Increase of J23.4S1.20O In the
outstanding loans und discounts of the
banks brings the totul loun expansion foi
the last four weeks up to $S7,2S7.o00, which
Is far In excess of any previous Increase in
the same length of time In the history of
tho clearing house. The soothing assur
ances given out by somo of the principals
in the pending steel negotiations of the cer
tainty that this vast project can bo car
ried out without a ripple In the money mar
kot do not carry universal conviction, In
face of these figures of the result of the
Ipfs Important railroad deals which havo
been carried through. The tendency of
the money innrket which Is thus Indicated
lessens tho probability that American sub
scrlptlons to tho now llrltlsh loan will bo
large.
Today's subtrcasury statement reflects
tho receipt by the government of a check
for nearly $3,000,000 In Payment of a note of
the Centrul Pnclllc rnllroad to tho govern
ment. It Is probuble also that the demand
for money In the Interior will show some
growth from this time on with the opening
of spring trade.
Tho railroad bond market has been nl
most unnrecedcntly active and prices havo
advanced more steadily than those of
stocks. Low grade speculative or semi
speculative bonds huvc been In large de
mand. Pnlted States refunding 2s declined
V and 3s advanced U Per cent over tho call
price of a week ngo.

CITTLK-Thnra wpr verv few cattle
offered toduy and the few that changed
nanus uiu so on a oasis or auoui sicuuj
prices.
Tho supply of cattlo tho past week has
been qutto liberal, exceeding the receipts
of tho previous week by 1,405 head, but
fell short of the supply foe the samo week
last year by 481 heud. The principal
featuro of tha week Is the good demand
for choice urades nnd the tendency to
neglect the common cattle and to buy them
lower. That was particularly true or tne
market on beof steors. There are very few
rattle arriving that nro good enough to
irlntr over $5.00. but such as are of that
kind are In good demand and may bo quoted
a 111110 stronger ror tne wceit. rno com
mon Kinds, nowuver, are lower, tno decline
In somo cases being ns much as lOo or 15c
The half-fat cattle, showing quality, have
lie in up 111 kimxi snapc, owing to uio ia.ci
that feeder buyers have come In competi
tion with tho packers and prevented a drop
In values. SjcIi kinds are about steady for
1110 wceK. in nguring 011 tne qonaition or
ho mnrket It must bo borno In mind that
ho nualltv of tho itenerul run of cattle Is
gradually Improving, owing to tho fact that
tho cattle have been on feed a long time.
Tho market on butcher stufT has been
rather uneven all the week. Choice cows
and heifers nro a little higher than they
wero at tho closo of last week, though
they aro not much different from Monday
or Tuesday of this week. The advance over
last week would bo covered by 10c In the
majority of cases, though some sales looked
a llttlo better than that. Medium grades
and canners nro about steady with tho
closo of last week. Hulls havo taken a
drop and the heavyweights are not far
irom a quarter lower ror tne wecK. The
light hnndywelght bulls havo not declined
as much and stock bulls have held about
steady.
xno demand ror cnoiee feeders haa been
In good shape nil the week and prices are
stronger for the week, The storm on
Frldny Bhut off the demand und ynrd trad
ers nave more came on nana than tney
otherwise would, Good sho stuff is also
strong for the week. Tho common kinds
havo not shown much change, prices re

HOGS Thero was a fairly good supply
of hogs on sale, and, as all other markets
wero lower, trading started out hero on a
basis of a decline of 2H3&0 ns compared
with yesterday's general markot. The close.
however, was strong und everything wns
out of tlrst hands In good season. Tho
titiiK sold from J0.2214 to Ki.27i. witn me
long string at $5.25. As high as $5.30 was
nald ror a nrlmo load -t heavy hogs welgn
lng 330 pounds. Light hogs sold from $5.2214
down, und, as usual, were left until the
last.
The sunnlv of hoes tho last week haa
been ruther light, considerable decrease
over lost week being noted, ns the table
of receipts will show. The week closes with
values practically tne Bnme us tney were
ut tho closo of last week. Monday was
tho high day of tho week and also of the
year, and, in fact, is tno highest oay since
last April. Tho low day of the week was

day to make a test of the market, the fresh
receipts being sold to arrive.

the lust week and prices have held up In
Sood shape on alt but lambs. Receipts
ave been composed almost entirely of
ewes and lambs, which has made wethers
In good demand and the week closed strong
on tho choice grades. Owing to the absence
of wethers the ewes sold at as good price
as they would have brought ny time
this year. Lambs have gone atendllv
downward all the week In sympathy with

are lWJttc lower than they were a week

A MOUNTAIN
OF GOLD
Ore (Free Milling) Thrown up by
Volcanic Eruptions from the
Grater on The Durango Boy
Properties. A Unlqua and Mar
vellous Geological Phenomenon,
Located on the Famous Red
Mountain, King County, Wash
ington. Tho Durango Boy Is acknowledged
by the nubile press nnd by mining ex
perts of Washington to be Hi best
iiiltil.ilf property on lied Monti
tnln. Experts ull agree that Hod
Mountain was formed from tho ovor
tlow of the crater In The Durango
Roy. 'limy t'liiplintlciilly ileelnr
tluit lnir hoilles of koIiI, or
very rloH ore, will be found around
and in this crater, because, to use tho
miner's phrase, it lum tl mothor
lode.
Both mine nnd management hnve
tho unqualified Indorsement of the
most promlnont men In banking nnd
business circles In Washington pud
ull pro ii on nor It one of the rich
est properties In the world.
We quote briefly from a. few of our
Indorsements:
Mr. (3. V. Mnrley, Supt. of the
ndjolnlnir Now York nnrt llitltl
nuire Ciiinpuny, says: "The mineral
deposits of
The Durango Boy
arn ten times larger than any of the
others. In my thirty years' experi
ence as a miner and prospector I
hnve never seen such ii lurne
body of IilKh -Krndr, free million
ore."
Mr. J. C. Uuliillviiii, M. 12., says:
"Tho wholo of Red Mountain Is one
vast detioslt of mineral, which can bo
opened up and handled to greater profit
than any oro body In this stnte."
Mr. (irurKi Pulvcr of Seattle
says: "Wo havo one of the groatetit
properties In the country."
Mr. J. 1). Mcl.tt) re, M. IS., for
merly engineer of tho great llo.nu-
take mines, mndo un exhaustive re
port on The Durango Hoy from which
wo quote brlclly: "All I can say Is
the number of tons In sight Is al
most Incalculable. There nre mil
lions of tons of It. The wholo ore
body Ib a geological phenomenon, If
this ore body shows an average of
even 13.00 per ton tho mlno will be
irortli millions of dollar."
Mr. llloliiiril Dubbins, I'rou. of tho
Lowell Steam Holler Works of Lowell,
Mass,, recently visited the property.
He verities every one of the above re
ports, and has backed his faith by in
vesting heavliy In th company.
The Huston He till, under alnte
of Nov. it. itiiHi, sys In part:
"Tho Durango Hoy
Mining Company
owns practically a mountain of gold
oni, It being n rust deposit of
norul.yrltla uunrt of vnlcnnlo
formation, forming what Is known
ns Red Mountain. Tho ore Is free
milling, and will averago if HI. 00 per
ton."
Theso aro Btrong statements, but
they come from reliable sources and
cannot bo doubted.
Fortune knocks once nt every
man's door. This is your opportuni
