TIIE OMAHA DAIIiY BEEt SUNDAY, FEBItUAHY 0, 1002. is GONDII ION OF OMAHA'S TRADE roloifid Gold W.gihtr Istorftriir with - Ipriar BmiiiBi. r.'-f, f "ICES FIRM ON PRACTICALLY ALL LINES Reports from tbe Country Indicate that Merchants Are Cleaning Their Stocks In Good Shnpe Collections Contlune Good. Wholesalers and manufacturer of this eity were not exactly rushed with orders last wnk, bJt atlll, all things considered, they had a very satisfactory trade. The extremely cold weather which haa been experienced throughout the territory tribu tary to thla market naturally had a tend- enry to keep buyera at home and to make them reluctant about placing orders for prlng gocds. The lull, however, it la thought la only temporary and will almply make the rush of spring business more pronounced when warmer weather does set In. Traveling men have been making their usual rounds and, according to their re port, retailers are doing quite a businesa In cold weather gooda. and present lndtca tiona are that they will clean up their Stocks In good shape. That will, of course, be of great benefit to wholeaalera Indi rectly, aa It will glv merchants plenty of ready money with which to meet their bllla and will tend to make them place more liberal orders for spring and summer lines au well as for full goods for next season. Taking everything Into consideration wholeaalera feel that they have very little to complain of and are all looking forward to an elegant businesa during the next lew months. So tar aa sensational fluctuations In prices are concerned there Is not much to be aald. aa most lines are selling In Just about the same notches they were a week ago. There la a good strong undertone to the market aa a whole, however, and the general Impression Is that values on prac tically all lines will remain Arm for eome lime to come. Not only have wholesalers and manufacturer considerable confidence tn future values, but the same Is true of retailers, and as a result they are willing to anticipate their wants for Borne time to tome. Grocery Market Strong;. Trade with wholesale grocers last week ras of very satisfactory proportions and the market was also in good share. Sugar Is quoted practically the same as it was a week ago on thla market. There has, how ever, been an advance In New York amounting to 6 points on two and flve pound sacka of granulated, but as those aires are not handled in thla market the card here remains the same. In canned goods there have- been no quotable changes, but their Is a firm feel ing all along the line. Dried fruits, and particularly peaches, are also firming up and but few fancy grades are being of fered. Syrups are all considerably higher than they were a week ago. Sisal rope ia being held at very firm prices and the outlook ta favorable for filgher quotations In the near future, owing to the fact that rope la now being sold on the same basis aa the raw fiber, allowing nothing for the manufacturer. The bean market la a trifle easier than It was a week ago, but It la claimed that Jarmera do not enre to sell at the preeent ow basis, and if they hold on It is thought prices will rule higher In the future. Packers have been naming prices on the fiack of peas for the season of 19u2 and It a found that they are about the same as they were last year, with the exception of the better grades, which are higher. The general Impression Is that prices will ad vance, however, owing to the fact that packers are finding it a difficult matter to obtain need, which Is very scarce. It Is also claimed that farmers will not con tract for a crop this year, as they claim they can make more money growing corn at the prices that hava prevailed of late. The aame conditions apply to sweet corn, and packers aay that they have not been , able to contract mora than 16 per cent of me acreage tney ma up to renruary l last Tear and what little they have contracted they hava been obliged to pay from $1.00 to 11.60 per ton more for the com than they did In 1901. Indications now lead to the be lief that opening prices on the 1902 pack Pf corn will rule from 15 to 26 per cent signer man lost season and possibly more. Spring; Trade a Little Qnlet. Although a good many buyers arrived on the dry gooda market last week It cannot be said that apilng trade with local job bers Is In full blast. The buyera that are coming now are being ravoreu with good aelectiona of wash gooda, stocks of which are being depleted both In woven and printed fabrics. Popular grades of dress goods are In big demand and leading mills are tarn to De engaged tor many montha to coma ana deliveries are rather unsatls factory. , Fancy styles of dress prints are selling pettier than recently, though trade la atlll largely favorable to auch stands aa Indl- b"oh. grays, mournings and reds, on account of the pneca at which those lines ara be- inr aold. , A great many buyera are expected on the local market this coming week and Jobbers have been making use of the light demand of lata to ship out their advance ordera. ao aa to be prepared for the rush of house trade that la sure to come In the near future. - There are no quotable changes to note In the piicos being paid for staple cotton goods, although an advance of l-16c in print cloths last week Imparted a firm under tone to the market. Ordnn fnr wnnl l rA nu our- wr.nl hlan. itets and wool dress goods for next season ara all being placed at an advance over last season'a pncea and It la understood that jobbers' prices will range from 6 to T'i per cent higher on thesa lines than tney am last year. Collections continue very satisfactory, Too Cold for Hardware, Local hardware Inhhera did ftillv as much business last week aa they could reason ably expect. The prolonged cold weather has, of course, rather shut off orders for aprlng lines and stoimed bulldlna ouera tlons, which have been carried on quite ex tensively all winter with but few Interrup tions. That being the case Jobbers did not do a very large busness last week, but all Indications are considered exceptionally fa vorable for the future and Jobbers are not offering any comnlalnta. The general market la In Just about the game position It waa a week ago. All linea are being held at good firm prices and no Important changes ara belnar uredlcted for the Immediate future. According to reports i""vfu irum i no easi rail mills ana struc tural iron and steel mills hava nlentv of ordera for the present year and it looks row aa though they would have more than they cox. Id do. As long aa that la the case there ia not much prospect of any weak ness In those lines and aa about the same conditions apply to practically all kinds of both heavy and ahelf hardware the outlook for the future la very encouraging. Shipping; Oat Advance Ordera. eLathr goods Jobbers are busy filling their advance ordera and getting ready for tprlng trade. So far as Immediate business i concerned they are not doing very much, although they are receiving quite a few email aortlng-up orders. According to re ports received from the country, retailers are enjoying quite a nice trade In all auch line as arctics and felt boots as well aa In ehea and are denning up their atocka in riood shape. The demand la much heavier n fact than It generally la at thla time of year, owing to the length of time that the cold weather haa lamed. Jobbera feel greatly encouraged at the reports of a good trade In the country, as they realise that It will Improve collections at once and will kelp out wonderfully on both apring and Hext fall buatneaa. traveling men. ara sun out after sptlng orders and are meeting with fairly good success, though they pruhably are not sell ing aa mm h stock as thev would If ! weather were mora mild. They find retail ors in gooa nutnor However, and predict I llg trade for the future. Fralts and Prodece. There haa not been a very liberal de. gnand of late for fruits and vegetablea, but Jobbers explain that by saying that the breather is too cold to make ahlomenta with safety and for that reason merchants . will not buy very freely. They look for a big Improvement a won aa the weather rnoaeraiea u utile. irre were almost no Hu.Ke &i UI :s-l wets in the quotations on staple linea and the situation ia best described by calling; the market quiet and Steady. From the prices given In another colu.nn It will be aeen that eggs, poultry and but tar are all higher than they were a week ago. Revelpta were light, while the d tuand held up In good ehape, and conse quently Micts were forced up considerably. Commission men aav. however, that it will take only few days of warm wna.tb.er to gucreaae ne receipts materially. aar Market. vrnrnn!.irNB Feb. 8.

For the week the supply at this point haa been quite liberal, a big gain having been made both over last week and also over the corresponding week of 1901. Recelpta were heaviest the first half of the week. ' A rood orooortlon of the arrivals this week consisted of beef steers of Just fair qiallty. Owing to the big run tne nrst oi the week tnere was a arcp in pncea ana bv Tueeduv the market was Zbi4uc lower. fllnca that time however, the loea has been just about regained, ao that the week closes right close to steady with tha close of last week. Tne commoner amas in some rasea mav ba a trine lower, but not mucn. There ate comparatively few cattle coming forward that are good enough to sell above $6.00, though something strictly prime ought to sell well up to $7.00. Tne bulk or tne re ceipts are selling from $5.00 to $6.00, with common Kipas going trom h.ju io o.uu. The cow market also broke In baa anape the first of the week, but the better grades regained the loss, and the week closed steady, with last week. Good to choice cows and heifers are selling largely from $4.50 to $4.75, though occasionally sales are made higher than that. The medium grades are a little lower than they were a week ago, and canners are fully 25c lower. The demand for the commoner kinds Is not particularly good, and the week closed witn trade quiet on tne ainas selling dciow $3.00. The bulk of the cows coming to market are bringing trom $..uo to 4.uu. Bulla broke the first of the week, the same aa cowa and steers, but St the close of the week the better grades, u anytning. are hlaher than thev were a week ago. Veal calves are fully 26c lower for the week, aa It now takes a choice veal to brine- $6.60 or over. Staga are about ateady.

The bulk of the hogs sold 2fi6c lower, but some sales were steady, while others were lOo lower.

SO 00 SHEEP There r tint annurh sheep and lambs In the yards thla morning to make a market, but taking the week as a whole the stinnlw V, a kmi. it tun I Am com pared with last week there is a good gain In receipts, and also as compared with the same week of last year. The demand, how ever, has been fully equal to the supply, and. In fact, the market was active nd higher all the week. Packers seemed to be anxious for all desirable arades. and It la safe to call the market a big 25c higher, and In sdme cases the advance amount, to fully 40c. It Is noticeable that the medium grades advanced fully as much as the choicest bunches. From th nuotationa below It will be seen that vearllnaa are not ouoted over $T.fi0. but It Is the opinion of the -trade that prime lightweight yearling, would bring considerably more than that. There ha. been a good Inquiry all the week for both feeder sheep and lambs, but verv few have been on fmle. Anything at all good would doubtless sell at good, strong prices. quotations: Choice lightweight yearlings, 25 2&5j5.50; good to choice yearlings. $.26; choice wethers, $4.7fcg.15; fair to good wethers. $4.5004.75: choice ewes, 84.00Q4.50; fair to good ewes, $8.6Ng4.0O: common ewes, $2.753.50; choice lam be, $6.00.26; fair to good lambs, $5.756.00; feeder wethers. $3.50 64.15; feeder lambs, I4.fl0jj4.60; cull lambs, fa. 00413. 175.

Oatha Street Railway atock. 1320 Farnam St. Tel. 1064. OFFICE OF THE George A. Treadwell Mining Company, 27 William St., New York. TO MT FRIENDS: Two years ago you bought the stock of the Greene Consolidated Copper company on my endorsement those of you who got In soon enough, at $5 a share. It ts now selling at $30 a share, and you And you have made a fairly profitable Investment. I now endorso the stock of the George A. Treadwell Mining company even more de cidedly than I did the Greene stock, and think enough of the enterprise to allow the company to beat my name. It Is the only enterprise In the world to which I have ever given or shall aver give that privilege. You can now sell your Greene stock and buy four share, of the Treadwell stock with the proceeds of one shsre of Greene. I advise you to do so for the following reasons: L Tho Greene company Is capitalised at $6,000,000; the Treadwell company at only $3,000,000. Tho four shares of the Treadwell that you can get for one of the Greene represent, therefore, eight times tbe pro portional Interest In tbe company that tbe share of tho Greene stock represents. 2. Tbe property of the Treadwell com pany Is at least the equivalent In area and In probable extent of ore bodies of the Greene property. 8. The ores of tho Verde Copper Belt, where tho Treadwell company mines are situated, have nearly or quite twice tho percentage of copper that the mines of tha Cananeaa where the Greene property lies have. The Verde Belt ores average about 10 per cent copper and the Cananea ore. about 6 per cent. 4. Tbe ores of the Cananeaa have low and those of the Verde Belt high values In gold and sliver. With low-priced copper this consideration Is of the utmost Im portance, 6. The Verde district has a very great advantage over the Cananea district In Its accessibility. Its comparative nearness to market and Its freight rates. 6. The Veide district has whatever fur ther advantage results to It from being In the United States and under the Juris diction of the Stars and Stripes. 7. The Greene Consolidated company baa a more extensive and expensive equipment than that ot tho Treadwell company al though that of the Treadwell company la by no n.eans small and la constantly In. creasing but It haa also a large indebted ness Incurred in procuring this equipment. The Tteaowell company is free from debt ana pays us way as it goes, it may aeem to go slower, but I think It will aet there Just as soon. I would rather have a small er equipment than owe so much for. a larger one. 8. All things considered. I believe that the atock of the George A. Treadwell Mining company ia quite as good and safe an In vestment at $7.50 a share now as the Greene atock waa when It originally aold at $6 a ahare. GEORGE A. TREADWELL.
