THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY. SEPTEMREH 20. 1901. CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Tall Euyen Arching In Lrgr Nntnberi Thm Expected GENERAL MARKET IN HEALTHY CONDITION Although I'nll tlnstiiess I. Mill l Full Dlnul, Johhrr Arr Prrparlntr for Sprint; Trntle unci n IVr le men llnvc iirliic !iuiiilc, There was no special attraction last week to draw merchants to this city such as wa tho case the week before, but never theless there were a good many buyers on tho market and local Jobbers did u very nice business. There were In fact a Brent many more retailers In town than they anticipated, as they Imagined that prac tically all who wero counting on comlnic here at about this time came In during the Ak-Sar-Uen festivities, It seems, how ever, that a Breat many waited until after tho carnival was over In order to avoid the rush. It Is very evident from tho talk and actions of Jobbers In practically all lines that they are more pleased with the way fall business Is golnt? nnd are very conn dent regarding the future. , , . The general market Is also In a n01,""; lsfactory condition. Prices arc not tlurtu atlng to any extent so as to make buyers cautious, hut on tho contrary values seem to be on a good solid foundation, with every prospect of their remaining that way for some little time to ("me. That fact gives buyers an opportunity to anticipate their wants to a considerable pxtent and makes the total volume of business much larger than It wojld otherwise be. Actlvr Ilemntul for flroorrlm. Wholesale grocers report trade as being exceptionally heavy for this time of year. Their traveling men are all meeting with good success and llnd merchants more will ing than usual to place liberal orders for all staple lines, Since last report there nave been a few ups and downs, but nothing very startling has taken place. Sugar Is quoted a trllle easier than It was n week ago, owing probably to the fact that the period o heavy consumption Is rapidly approaching an end. The coffee market Is about the samo as It was a week ago. Cheese has taken another upward move ment owing t" the Increased buying, both for home and foreign trade. Then, too, the season when the hulk of the cheefe Is made Is about closed. The advance for the week nmojnts to a full 4 c-nt per pound nnd the market Is now strong and netlvo and higher prices at any time would causo no surprise. The rope market nlso advanced last wok becauso of the higher prices ruling on the raw fibre Sisal advanced 1 cent per pound and Manila about ,i cent per pound. In canned goods there Is also a tendency toward higher prices. This Is particularly true of tomatoes, which are 2'iij5 cents per dozen higher than they were a week ngo. The frosts which were experienced from September IS to 20 did considerable damage and, of course, the dry weather, which lasted several weeks In the producing sec tions of Mnrytand nnd Delaware, nlso cut down the yield. The pack for those reasons Is rather short. Corn and practically the entire line of canned goods Is In a very strong position and those who are posted on the situation nre predicting higher prices as soon as the period of heavy con sumption sets In. Dried fruits, farinaceous goods and most other staple lines not mentioned nbov. nro quoted Just nbout the same us they were a week ago, Knll Oooilis .MovIiik Treelj". Fall goods with hardware Jobbers nro now moving out at a rapid rate. All such lines as stoves, stove boards, coal scuttles, olbows. stovepipe, and In fact all kinds of lines that come under the head of cold weather goods are In active demand. Traveling men find that merchants have not nny great amount of that stock on hand and as a result they find It compara tively ensy to land good liberal orders. In making comparisons with this time last year It Is found that business U consider ably heavier thnn It was then, which Is saving a good deal. There Is very llttlo to be said regarding the condition of tho market, as there has been practically no change In the general situation since last report. There have been no advances of much Importanco and neither have there been nny declines, so the market may bo snld to be in n good, healthy condition, Those who ought to know are very confident that prices will be maintained nt their present level for sonn tlmo to come, unless something out of tho ordinary happens to change conditions ma terially. (iettliiK Itenitr for ftiirlntr. Although fall business with dry goods Jobbers Is still In full swing, they are never theless getting ready for spring business. They have already started out several of their special men with spring lines and ex pect to hind a nice bunch of advance orders. Men's shlits and women's shirtwaist. In particular, are being offered to the trade at the present time. It will not be long now before nil the traveling men will bo out with spring goods. Immediate business Is still In n most satisfactory condition. The city was full of buyers last week nnd n great many heavy ordeis were placed. A number of large opening stocks nero also bought. Th s has bean the most satisfactory, as well ns tho largest, fall trade that wholesalers have ever experienced nnd very naturally they are greatly pleased. There Is no market news this weok worthv of mention, as prices on nearly all ilns nre Just about the same ns they were at last report. Cotton goods continue good and firm and so far ns ran b" told, nt tho present time, nre likely to remain that way Indefinitely. SprliiR Knntitrnr Xim Itendy. Leather goods Jobbers are also preparing for their spring trade. Their namplcs have arrived and merchants will lie given an opportunity to place their advance orders In th nfr fllfftrn T Innblnn rtM . V, a lines offered.

The rubber goods trade Is no verv satis, factory. There Is of course noth.rig very rushing In footwear, as orders Hre mostly placed, but there Is an excellent trade tn mackintoshes and rubber clothing of nil varieties. The ralnH of the last few weeks have stirred up the trade on that class of goods In good shape nnd the amount of stock sold has gone far ahead of expecta tions. Fruits mill Product. While ther hns been no special feature to the demand for fruits nnd produce dur ing tho last few days, th.'re has been a good, active trado on nearly nil seasonal) e lines.

CATTLE There wero only a few cattle n tho yards today ana tnoso were not m he kind to make a fair test of tno marKot. The aupply for tho week has been of quite liberal proportions, a goou gain iiniuib been made over tho last several weeks, but thero Is still a decrease as compared with the corresponding week of lost year. Coriifvd steers wero In good demand all tho week nnd strong prices were paid for anything at all desirable. As there were hardly enough of them offered to go tho rounds, everything was picked up In good season. The best cattle of tho season ar rived here this week ana sow as nign ns 16.25. About 217 head sold at that price on Friday, 20o of them belonging to one man. The less deslruble grades, while not quite ns active, sold at fully steady prices, so that the general market was In very satisfactory condition. The sutiniv or cow stun was ou te iioerni nil tho week. Prices, however, held up until tho last of tho week, when tho medium kinds weakened a trifle. Somo salesmen thought that prices declined no moro on Friday than they advanced on Monday and Tuesday, while others thought they went a shade lower, particularly tho medium kinds and the canners. Strlctlv choice cows are probably just about steady. mere nas noi ocen enougn ennnge in bulls, calves nnd stags during the week to bo worthy of mention. I'racticauy notning out tne neavy came nro In demand for feeders. Cattlo weigh ing from wu pounds up of good quality have been ready sellers all the week and prices nro fully ateady. Cattlo weighing from 6C0 to sjj pounus nave neen very uuu ana nrlces have declined fully 25c. Thoso of common quality nro practically unsalable. tJuyers seem to ugure mat tney cannot nfford to feed high priced corn to common cattle. Common yearlings arc also dull and lower. Stock heifers have declined fully ns much a J tho steers. There is a good demand for stock calves, however, and prices for the week aro steady. W estern range steers have been In cood demand on tho part of killers nnd the murket may bo quoted strong. The high price of tho week was 15.23. Tho cow mat net Is close to steady, except on the medium kinds, which arc perhaps a trllle lower, uoou, neavy ieeoers are -teauy, out others are about a auarter lower. .Rep resentative sales: Thomas Castro Vvo. 4S steers.... &il 3 60 2 cows W0 2 60 4 steers.... 632 3 00 3 steers.... 670 3 0) HOQS There was not a heavy run of hogs hero today for even a Saturday and as a result prices Improved under tno In fluence of a liberal demand. The market started out Just nbout iVtc higher than yes- teruay, wnn tne ouik selling at is-w ami 6S24, against 16.77'j and 36 SO yesterday. ,i inose prices xne mnrxei was lairiy ac tive and as It was evident that backers were anxious for suunlles sellers held their droves nt flrm prices and the market closed up strong at the advance. Everything was disposed of In good season. The sunnly of hogs for tho week at this point has been slightly In oxcess of that for tne past several weeKs. but a llttlo short of tho samo week last year. The week opened up with an advance, but on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the market de clined close to 15c. On Friday and Saturday part of tho loss was regained, but the week closed with prices 2tAfi5c lower than nt the close of tho previous week. Representative sales: No. Av. Sh. Tr. No. Av. Sh.

Prices nre now about l"in5c higher all around than they wero at the close of last week und tho tone to the market Is greatly Improved. The last few days tho trade has ruled active and packers seemed anxious for supplies. That applies to both sheep and lambd. The demand for feeders was fully equal to the supply all tho week and the market may be quoted strong on both sheep and lambs.
