THE OMAHA DAILY BEEi SUNDAY, API? IL 21, 1901. 21 CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Liok of Eeuonable Weather Injuriai; Trade on Eummir Qoodt. SUGAR MARKET TAKES QUITE A JUMP Eastern lnnuf nctorrra Clnliu to lie O VFrliiiidr J with Orders nnil I.ocnl Jolitirr I'cnr n Slmrlnur In Uooda Later In the Senson. The volume of liusliifjs transacted by wholesale houses In this city last wee was not vhut might bo called heavv. Int. wenthcr so Itir this spring has been de cldedly unfavorable for the rapid move ment of lightweight goods, and for that reason neither tho Jobbers nor the re tailers out through the country uro dolus its much business as tlwy usually do at this season of the year. By tho middle of April sorting up orders should begin to como In qulto freely, but that Is not the caso this year, It takes warm weather to break up retailers' Mocks, and until they arc broken to some extent merchants will not buy more goods. Hut while retail trade so far hus been light, not very mny com plaints are heard Hnd no one Is at all dls couroged. Tho trade Is sure to como sooner or later, and the lack of warm weather so far is simply delaying business. It will only take a few warm nays to give retail ers a lively trade, und then wholesalers will begin to receive orders. A great many traveling men for local houses have been on the road with fall lines, and taking everything Into consldcra. tlon they have met with good success. Tho fast that In scmo sections considerable winter stock was carried over from last year owing to tho mild winter .nnturally has a tendency to cut down advance orders, but in spite of that fact a good many' fall orders liuv already lieen landed. There have been about the usual number or market fluctuations since last report, but still nothing of a very startling nature has taken place. I'rlces as a rulo are being held good and firm, and the tendency Is undoubtedly upward. The prospects for u heavy consumption throughout the country leads to tho belief that manufacturers In many llnee will be unable to meet thn demand, and In n number of Instances u marked shortage Is feared. That being the case there Is no nrostiect for a lower level of prices for some tlmo to come. At. tho present time rmilcmcnt dealers, furniture men and hardware men arc all complaining of ii shortage of goods, and say that Ihu Manufacturers uro burled with orders. Local houses have orders on hand that they cannot III! simply because they cannot get tho goods, and there does not seem to be much chance of the supply Increasing very soon. Sharp Alliance In .Siiirnr. Tho grocery market as n whole held about steady lust week, but still there were a few Imnortant lluctuatlnns. Tho most marked was tho udvuncc In sugar, amount ing to 10 cents per lw. The marKct is quoted strong nt the advance, and In view of the fact that the nerlorl of heavv con sumption Is now close at hand, still higher prices are Deing treeiy predicted by tnose who arc In a position to know. There has been no chango in the situation In coffee since last report. The vlslblo sup ply Is very heavy at tho present time, und the market Is a little quiet. Quotations, though, on both green stock and package coffee, remain where they were n, week ago. Thero has been some Improvement noted In quotations on evaporated fruits. The lower prices that have prevailed for some limo time past nave Drougnt about nn in crease in consumption, and the market now lias a mora hcnlthy tone, and prices on some lines are a trifle higher than they were a week auo. 8oapxaro also advancing and prices are now 1 Oft 15c per box higher than they were a week ago. Tho Increased cost of the raw matcrlul Tb given ns thu reason for tho ud vance and It Is claimed that for soma tlmo soup manufacturers have been selling their gooos ui u loss, it wouiu not bo at uii sur prising if a still further advanco should tuko tilucc. Other staple lines have not changed mate rially during the week. The volume of business done by local Iioubcs lust week showed some Improvement over the preced ing week and a lively trudo Is anticipated irora mis time on. Hardware About Sternly. There has been no Important change In tho hardware market during tho week. Price all along tho line. - however, aro be ing held very tirm and the tendency Is up ward rather than downward. The back ward spring is or course delaying business to quite an extent, but as soon as more settled wiather comes it Is thought thero will bo u great rush, which will make up lor mo present iuii. ine only real com plaint which wnoiesaiers mane is tnui uiey cannot get tho goods they want. Their sales :n many lines aro limited only by their ublllty to get tho coods und as manu facturers aro uwuy behind It is dlltlcult to tell when thn stock will arrive. Thero is no doubt but what the demand for hardware in this section of the country will be very heavy this yew and what is worrying wholesalers the most is how they are going to get tho goods fast enough to till their orncrs. The market on linseed oil took u little up wurd start this week, the Hdvunco umouiit lug to i, bout ic. Tho ruling jirlco on raw in barrel lots is now 69o und boiled oil Is held at 61c. The market is in a good strong position und higher prices aro apt to go Into effect ut no very distant duto. Tho cause of the advanco is said to bo the scarcity und high price of seed. Turpentlnu is uiso muncr man 11 was a wcok ago and still higher prices are looked for. Tho ad vanco amounted to lc, which makes tho lirlco 39ttc. 'inecr is no chance in irluss prices remaining tho same us they wero it ween ago. me oeinaua lor puints and oils as well ii h (or gluss Is exceptionally heavy wm in view 01 me largo amount 01 uunu uig mat is to do uone tnis year nn nctlv market la anticipated. Dry (iuudi a Little Unlet. Dry goods jobbers did not do a very rush Ing business last week. Very few buyers were In tho city and most of thoso that did arrive did not leave very heavy orders. According to nil reuorts received rrnm th country retailers have sold very little of ineir summer gooas anu tor mat reason though, feels cunlldeul thut tho weather will soon bu more seasonable, when trado win ibko on us usual umount or activity, Traveling men who have been nut with fall lines have met with very good buccess and they look forwurd to un excellent trnil In full and winter goods in splto of the fact mat caiisiueraoir siock nas been carried over from last year. There is nothing new to be said of the market situation, us ptactlcally all lines are in too uanie position uiey wero a week ago, Habbem la tiood Demand. Hubber Roods men have no comnlalnta whatever to make regarding the kind of weatuer mat nas peeu experienced no rur this spring. Hubber clothing has been In greater demand than for some time past aim niucmiiiuBnes in particular nave been good sellers Hubber boots and sandals are still moving out at a rapid rate, but tho uciuuuu is iimuiy as neavy as It was two or three weeks uko. Sules ho fur nr.. mvuv ahead of last year and Jobbers are greatly pleased with the success they have hud. Not very much Is doing at the present time lu leather goods. Orders for summer goods are few and far between owing to bud weather, which has nrevented niaii,.r. from selling out their goods, und It is too euro iur uusiiiess. joooers, now over exnect u nice reorder business Inter in n. year und aru also preparing for u good Ue- munii ior mil goous. Fruits and Produce. Thero Is very little to bo said of the trado In fruits and produce. Prices have changed very little, during the week, as fresh vegetables are not coming in very rapidly owing to the lack of warm weather. Practically no new lines have been ndded to the list, ileforo long, however, fresh stock ought to be more plentiful, when prices will of course tak a drop. Strawberries aru ulso quoted ubout the same as they were a week ago, but the stock now arriving Is In very fair condition for this time of year. Eirss and poultry are selling In thn sume notches they were at last report, though eggs are very firm at the quotations. Hut tor has eased off In eastern markets, which has also caused a drop In price at this point. St. Louis tiraln and lrovllon. 8T.

In the absence of tidings concerning tno status of the Liverpool market and of con ditions In tho cast, wheat traders were left to tho contemplation of the bearish crop situation. Trade was restricted by the failure of the wire service and al though word was received from Liverpool later In the session business did not swell to any proportions.
