?irw Cutomrii
The volume, of buslnes. transacted by
local wholesalers during the last week has
been of very satisfactory proportion. The
city ha been fuH of buyer looking for
all classes of spring Rood, and as a re
sult Jobbers In all lines have done a rush
ing house trade. Dry goods and millinery
Jobbers hnve, of course, had more lttors
than dealers In other lines, nnd It Is claimed
that there have been more merchants In
the city during the lnt two week than
ever before during the same length if time
It is a noticeable feature. too. that thy
are placing heavier orders than are u.ually
received. That Is accounted for by tne
fact that this market Is attracting a bet
ter class of buyers than ever before a
great many of the largest merchants have
always had the Idea that they could not
get what they wanted west of Chicago and
h.n in the habit of Kolng there rev-
eral tlrrfes each year to buy the raupplleF.
This year, however, they are stopping off
at Omaha to Inspect the lines offered, and
as a result Omaha wholesalers are mak
ing many new friends. .
As regards the market It 1 safe to call
practically all lines In a good strong jk;
IU-n. The demand Is so great from all
over the country that manufacturers are
finding themselves unable to nil the.r or
drs promptly and are taking advantaee or
the opportunity to shove up prices a trine
"While there have been no very startling
changes during the week there Is an evi
dent hardening of prices all along the line
and several quotations have been advanced
slightly Higher prices are being freely
predicted on n number of lines, and in fact
Jobbers look for nrm, active markets for
somo time to come.
Coffee Active nml llluher.
"Wholesale grocers report a heavy ''
trade and say that spring lines are now be
ginning to move out at a rapid rate. The
demand Is heavier than It was a year ago
and local houses are having about all tne
business they can handle The mot Impor
tant change In the market Is the advance
In package coffee, amounting to VtC. This
affects both Lyon and Arbuckle brands, and
leaves them both at the same price The
green market Is also In n good, strong po
sition, nnd higher quotations are being
freely predicted. Some, however, arc of the
opinion that the present Hurry will not last
long.
There has been no change In the sugar
market since last report, but price are be
ing held good and firm, and the demand Is
exceptionally heavy for this season of the
year Both refiners and Jobbers are looking
for an enormous demand later In the year,
when fruit and berry seasons open.
There has been no fluctuations" In the way
of dried fruits. Tho supply of the better
rradea is holdlnc un In good shape, and
in fact It is claimed that there are fewer
lots of poor grades than for several years
past. Tne demand at the present time Is
very good, considering that there has been
so little cold weather. Canned goods are
also In the same position they wire a week
ago,
llRrdnnrr Market Ailvnnrlngv.
The enormous demand being experienced
In nil necttnns of the eountrv for mot
every class of hardware Is Influencing the
market to a marked degree Manufacturers
are so far behind with their orders tnat
It is .stated that nothing can now prevent
a shortage a little later when spring lines
begin to move, moro freely As 11 result of
this condition prices are being advanced
and It Is predicted that still higher quo
tations will rule In the near future. Since
last report sheet Iron has gone up 20c per
hundred, wire cloth 10 per cent and gal
vanized Iron 10 ier cent. The market as a
wholo Is In a very strong position and ad
vances In most any line would cause no
great surprise.
So far as the local situation l concerned
local Jobbers say that Indications were
never more favorable for u big spring trade
than they are at the present time. There
Is no doubt but what there will be an Im
mense amount of building done all over the
west and not only will there be building
but farmers as well an town people will
spend a great deal of money In making Im
provements. Fences will be built and such
work a that will be carried on more ex
tensively than usual and hardwaro as a re
sult will go into consumption nt n rapid
rate. Stocks hero In the city are larce and
Jobbers are hoping they will be able to
supply the wants of their customers with
out delay, but whether or not they will bo
able to do so depends upon how rapidly
manufacturers ship their goods.
lllit Demand for Dry tlniid.
Dry goods Jobbers during the last week
have had about all the business they can
handle. Many of their traveling men have
been In the city looking after the Interests
of their customers and even with their
help the salesmen have been rushed from
early until late. The buyers have come
from all points of the compass and the
number that have come up from Kansas.
Missouri and southwestern lowu la surpris
ing Jobbers In all lines. They are also com
ing from wet of the mountains and from
points well over Into Iowa Another notice
able feature Is the class of goods they arc
buying. They all seem to want the best
there ts to be had and also the most un-to-
date fads. What are called L'Alglon goods
are proving to bo great sellers and Jobbers
are experiencing home difficulty to get the
stock rapidly enough to meet the demand,
it was thought the L'Alglon fad would be
short-lived, but Jobbers are beginning to
ensnge ttieir minds ana are buying new
stocks of the latest things out.
The market Is practically the same as It
was a week ago. According to eastern re
ports the demand Is Improving a trifle, es
pecially the export demand, nnd manufac
turers and Jobbers are both dolnir more
business than they were n couple of weeks
ago. i-nces aro practically unchanged and
tnose nest posted 00 not look ror any radl
cal fluctuations for some time to come.
The milliner rather took possession of
tho city last week and the number In at
tendance was much greater than antici
pated and was nearly twice as manv as
were here the week before From this time
on there will probably not be nearly as
many, but Jobbers are greatly pleat-od with
tne amount 01 nusiness tney nave done,
tin) liiKvl'nll Itnliber.
Leather goods Jobbers are devoting mnsf
of their attention to the rubber goods trade.
Traveling men have tx-en covering their
territories selling rubbers for next fall and
have met with better success than they
hoped. There Is now no doubt but what
practically all tho rubbers for early delivery
to be used next fall and winter will be
sold before April 1. Higher prlres at that
time are still being freely predicts! and as
Jobbers are protecting their customers
against a still farther decline there Is every
Inducement for them to nlace lbelr orders
now. Traveling men who have recently re
turned from their territories sa- they never
soia as many runners in tnelr lines as they
nave during tho limt two weeks. They tlnd
that the great inNjort of dealers have sold
out their winter lines In falrlv cnod Khan
and that not nearly as many rubbers will he
cnrriru over as 11 was tnouglit tliero would
oe a tew weens Hgo The late snows are
what relieved the situation. Merchant ure

quite willing to anticipate their wants.
Spring rubbers and rubber clothing are
also selling as well n could be expected
In leather goods there has not been much
of any change. Nearly all the spring and
summer lines nave iwen som ana noout all
that Is left to do U the filling or a few
sortlng-up orders. Representatives of local
houses have been In the cast buying tail
goods and tho samples will soon he in
readiness to show tp the trade. Jobbers are
very hopeful that when their men start out
with fall samples they will bo able to land
a nice batch ot orders early in the season.
Fruit nnd Produce.
Nothing of a startling nature has taken
place In the frolt and produce district dur
Ing the week. Prices on nearly all lines
are about the same, but still a few- fluctua
tions have been reported. Apples ore higher
than they were, as the quotations will hw-,
and lemons, on the contrary, are a trifle
easier Other fruits remain practically un
chanced. Potatoes are not quoted quite as high as
they have been, but dealers are of the
opinion that at lean prew:.t prices will
hold good for the rest of the season Sed
potatoes are now coming Into d emend and
are selling all the way from 55c to 3104 per
bushel, according to variety. As to the fu
ture of the se.il potato market diwlers wiy
that while the common kinds will prubablj
go no higher there Is apt to Im an advance,
in the choicer varieties later In the reason.
The ejtg market has been going down rap
Idly during the last few days owing to a
marked Increase In the receipts Poultry Is
about the name as at last report so far as
the live stock Is concerned The dressed
stock liowerr Is hard ha,iti, wi g t "
the warm weather and (.vtnmlBsion men are
advising their patrons t ship only live
stock.
Butter has gone off to some extent oslng
to a break in eastern markets
The demand for game Is vcr light and

CHICAGO. March ?.-News affectln? the
grain and provisions market maintained
a good average of bullishness today and
with the. exception of oats, which suffered
from liquidation, the cloe was firm, wheat
'rtiSe higher, corn a shade lower, oats 4
s'.c depressed and provisions unchanged.
At the opening the wheat market experi
enced Its greatest activity. May opened He
higher at 7&fl74c under the encourage
ment of higher markets at Liverpool and
Antwerp, the chief Argentine market on
tho continent, and because of unfavorable
climatic conditions. A heavy trade for tho
outside account was transacted at the start,
but It was well distributed on both sides.
Shorts, who become alarmed today, were
still anxious to cover however, and May
was worked up to 75c during the first
hour. Trade, following the first half hour"s
activity, was more quiet. On the bulge,
what had been Influential support, was
withdrawn and this, combined with some
profit taking by scalping longs, caused a
decline to ;5Ho7&4c.
Buying orders, which had been waiting,
caught the decline and when more shorts
took their medicine the market exjen?nced
another rally and closed 'ti.c higher at
TSHc. Exporters reported twenty loads
taken. Seaboard clearances In wheat and
flour reached a total of 4jS.0 bushels, while
receipts at primary western markets were

The oats market was the weakest of the

CATTLE There were onlv
few
odds
and ends on sale today and not enough to
make a good test of the market.
The supply of cattle for the week has
been rather light, as the table of receipt
at the head ot the column will show The
demand has been of quite liberal proppr-,
Hons and as a result the market ruled
active and strong all the week. '.
Choice beef cattle were In good demand ,
all the week at strong prices and ns com
pared with the close of the previous week
prices may safely be quoted 10315c higher.
One feature which must be kept In mind Is
the fact that the qjallty of the cattle
being received Is constantly Improving
owing to the longer feeding period. The
high price of the week was Jj.40. The
market has advanced about the same
amount all around, though perhaps not
quite as much on the commoner grades.
warmea-up came are scums; iukuci
are going mostly to the killers, which was
. not the case
not tne case a weea ago. ai jwn urra
1-in it t, ttve murket nil the week and sell
ers have had but little difficulty In getting
very satisfactory prices.
The cow market has also been strong
and active all the week. The best kinds,
selling from J3.50 up. may be quoted fully
a dime higher for the week. The medljm
grades have not shown much of any
change, while tho canners are a trifle weak
as compared with the close of the preceding
week. While prices have oot shown so
much Improvement, it has been a good
market, as packers took hold In good
shape and bought each day's receipts early
In tho morning
The bull market has been rather uneven.
Choice handy weights have sold readily
at strong prices, but heavyweights nnd
common kinds have been rather slow sale.
Veal calves are selling at good, strong
prices and so are stags.
The feeder market Is higher ihnn it was a
week ago. The supply of thin cattle has
been very light and the demand quite
liberal, so that choice cnttle have brought
strong prices. Light stockers and calves
..va BAlltrti- -nnnMernhlv hetfer thnn thev
were a week ago, If the quality Is satis
factory. Warmed-up cattle are also
higher, owing to the advance In beef. She
stock may also be quoted stronger for the
week. Representative sales:
