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

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.

CHICAGO. April 20.-Owlng to n demora
lized telegtaph service the speculative mar
kets today were the dullest ot tno week.
The tone, however, was steady, wheat and
corn each closing HGlic higher, oats Vic up
and provisions practically unchanged.
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. Of tho small aggre
gate most of tho business was done on
account of shorts, who wished to even t.P

The crowd felt rather bearish on Improved

Manipulation In stocks was violent, uut
the price was pushed determinedly up to

vious record price yesterday. The final
high price was made in a vigorous effort
to rally the market from the decline Into
which it had fallen as u result of the un
wieldly mass of realizing sales which were
thrown upon trie maraet on tne upeuuih

HOGS There was a fairly good run of
hoas hero toduy for a Saturday, and as
other markets wero all quoted lower, prices
nt tnis point also took u arop. Tne choice
hogs on the start wero only weak to 2y.c
lower, but the general run of mixed hogj
were 2frc lower. Tho bulk sold at Ij.'iM
fi.V14. with the choicer loads irom that up
to t. tne top ueing paio ior u prime load
welchlnc 323 nounds. Tho close of the m.ir.
ket was weak, or u good nickel lower. Tho
last sales wero largely at S3.82H. but as
usual it was the llgnter weights that wero
lelt. Thero were quite a few lightweights
on sale and they went ull the way irom
J5.&2V& to Ja.60. As will be seen from sales
ueiow, inero is now a wider range than
thero has been In the past. Packers claim
they have been paying too much for the
llidit. trashy stulf and that in thu f lltllrn
they aro going to get it tor less money or
not take It at all.
The tendency of prices this week hn
