Mors moderate weather last week gays Hew Impetus to spring trade with Omaha Jobbers and manufacturers and as a result they are all feeling greatly encouraged over the outlook for future business. More buyers wire In the city last week than for loma tlmt past and they all left liberal orders. Traveling men also met with much better success on the road. According to all Indications, Jobbers say that there will b a greater volume of goods sold In this city during the next few weeks than ever before during the same length of time. Merchants as a rule In tha state of Ne braska, Iowa, Missouri and Kansas have cleaned up their winter stocks In good ahape and are on the market for henvy stocks of spring and summer goods. The only section of the country tributary to this market where retnllers have not sold out their winter goods In satisfactory shape Is In the far west, where the weather was ao mild that people did not consume as much winter slock a. usual. Hut In spite of that fact merchants In that part will undoubtedly buy heavy spring lines, as they re confident that trade during the spring and summer months will be fully up to the usual standard. . Jobbers have a good deal to say regard ing the condition of collections. Merchants eem to be meeting their bills with more than the usual degree of promptness and In fact there are very few poor accounts being carried by Omaha houses. Failures among retailers are very scarce, so that losses from that source are at a minimum. In view of these conditions, Jobbers say there Is no reason why retailers should not place liberal orders, as they could not well be more prosperous or be more hopeful for the future than they are at the present The markets have been rather devoid of special features during the last several days and In fact there have been almost no fluctuations at all of any great Impor -ance. There la a good healthy undertone to the general market, however, and all predictions are for continued firm markets. Few Changes In Groceries. It has been a long time since the grocery market has held us steady as It did last week. Trade was active and In fact better than It was a week ago. but almost nil lines sold in Just about the same notches as they did the week before. Sugar, for example, was steady all the week, but at the same time there was considerable evi dence of strength, which leada to the belief that an advance will take place In the near future. Syrups are a little higher than they were a week ago, owing to the fact that about W per cent of the glucose produced In the country Is controlled by a combination, and as a result the market is In a very strong position. The only chango In farinaceous goods was a slight decline In rolled oats, which riffected both barrel and case goods. There s no change to note In canned goods, though corn and tomatoes continue very strong. Pears are also showing considerable strength. Dried fruits are selling In the same notches they were a week ago. As previ ously mentioned, peaches and prunes are being he-id at very firm prices, with de sirable stocks hard to obtain, but there baa been no change In quotations. Print Cloths a Little Higher. The most Important change In the dry roods market last week was an advance In print clotha amounting to c. They are Bow hold at 3'4o and buyers who are In a position to know say that Indications are favorable for still higher prices in the near future. In fact, it is stated that if Ameri can prints, which are now held under the market, should advance all lines of goods mads on print cloths would advance at pnee. Bales of staple lines of prints are larger than they have been at any time within the last six months. Percales, ging hams and all wash goods are also selling freely on the local market. Any one visit ing the big Howard street houses last week would have noticed that there was more activity than of Into and that the number if merchants visiting this market Is In creasing every year at a ranld rata. The buyers generally expressed themselves as being well pleased and surprised at the targe assortment or stocks carrieq in thl llty and the else of their orders gave; still further proof of their satisfaction. Local Jobbers have now about finished hipping their advance orders and so are prepared to handle In good shnne the rush tf Immediate buslneea which will corns ironvtnis lime on. noc only Is house trade f large proportions.' but traveling salesmen are also meeting with exceDtionallv lond luccess, so that the dry goods trade may bo suu 10 oe Dooming in an departments, Spring; Goods Drain to Move. Hardware Jobbers also report spring uu h Having miuwea consiaeraDie im provement last week. Such lines as wire cloth, poultry netting and steel goods are bow selling u.uite freely and with moderate weather from this time on trade ought to Increase at a rapid rate. Not very many merchants have been in the city of late, but those who have visited the market all seem to be very confident regarding future busi ness and say there Is no reason whv thev should not have a nice trade throughout the spring and summer. They look for con siderable building and repairing, which, of course, means a brisk demand. So far as tha market is concerned there Is not much to be suld. as iiruotliullv all lines are selling at the same quotations iiiey were a wees ago, -mere Is a good, Brm tone to the market, however, which gives considerable confidence to both buy rs and sellers. The iron and steel market contlnue"ln a good, healthy condition, so that as far as ran be seen at the present time there is no reason for looking for any. thing but a good, firm market for soma time to come. Uood Demand for Leather Goods. ' Leather goods Jobbers report trade as being of very satisfactory proportions. Traveling men are sending in a nice batch sf orders with every mall und a good many buyers are also coming on the market. Every mild day reminds merchants that It Is only a short time now before spring and summer lines will be In demand, and aa a result they are getting anxious to place their oruera and get the goods In stock. The increasing demand for oxfords In both men s and women's lines la more notice- able each week and Jobbers say there Is no doubt but what more of that style of shoe Will be worn in this section of the country this season than ever before. Rubber goods Jobbers are not being kxactly rushed with business at the present time. They look for a brisk trade, how- fver, as soon as the snow melts and the roat begins to start which will but the roads in worse condition than they have Been in a long lime. KubDer boots, aa well as sandala, will then be in big demand. Future business la showing up In as good I Bonaltlon as rould be expected this curly In the year. Except In the far west, where merchants failed' to clean up their winter Stocks owing to tne miia weather, travel ing men are meeting with good success in lauding ordrra for tall shipment. It la, of Course, a little early to expect very many fall orders and for that reason Jobbers teel sncouraged over the number they havs taken. Krnlta anal Prod nee There was a better demand last week for fruits and vegetables than for some little time owing no doubt to the more moderate weather. Small thlpmrnts of such lines as green onions and radluhes are beginning to arrive, but they Bell almost entirely to the oity trade. A rew crates or norma straw berries also arrived last week and thev were sold to the city trade at about 60 cents per quart. Aa far as the staple lines on tha market are concerned there Is not much of any change to note, aa all lines are selling In about the same notcnea tney were a reek ago. Tha quotations will bo found in another column. There was a sharp advance In the pries of gits last week owing to light receipts and a good demand. On sums dnya fresh slock sold as hlnh as 28 cents, but conimlaslon men as a rule did not send out quotations above 2& cents. They are tailing their cus tomers to look out for a sudden drop aa soon aa the receipts begin to Increase. Butter also took an upward Jump, com mon to fair grades selling as high as 17i is cents. That choicer grades sold up to 19 fact! cents and creamery 2wu 27 renta. The advance was caused by exceedingly llsht receipts. The poultry market was also Brm lor tnt same reason. The severs storms in ths east caused Shortage in tha supply of oysters at this oolnt and an advance followed. The bulk Standards, howeer, were about the only Kind that were effected to any extent and they went up to i. per gaiion. Liverpool Grata an 4 iroisians. LIVERPOOL. Feb. 16.

Bulls In ths grain market hers had slightly the better of the argument today, at the end of another dull and uneventful week of speculation.

Higher cables and predictions of smaller world's shipments occasioned a slightly better opening in wheat, but the character of the trading was of ths same poor sort that has been manifested for the last two weeks. Most of the business was slow and confined to the local crowd. Outsiders kept out of the market to a marked degree.
