18 THE OMAH.A DATLY BEE: STTNDAY, MATtCJI 2, 1002. f. i - CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE nDealen in Spring Lines All Enjoj Aotira Demand During Week. 'FEW CHANGES IN RULING QUOTATIONS Important Ffitirc of fhe Trad la the Lance It ember of Opea lac Stocks . Bold by Omaha, Bosses. Omaha jobber and msnufaeturers ex perienced a lively trade last week In all seasonable lines. The different houses were crowded with buyers all the week, and generally epeaktng liberal onlere were ilaced. It was. in fact, the best week that jobbers have had since the rush of the holiday trade. More buyers, though, are expected this week, provided the weather la favorable, and as a result jobbers are making expensive preparations to entertain Uielr customers. Traveling men have also been meeting with good success on the road, and mall orders have been larger than usual, so that everything considered, wholesalers are irell pleased with prevailing conditions. The market continues In a good, healthy condition, and not many Important fluctua tions have taken place. There Is a good, firm undertone to the market on all lines, however, as the demand seems to be fully qual to the supply, and the prospects are that It will remain that way for some time to come. Both buyers and sellers have a good deal of confidence In future values, and the former are Inclined to anticipate their wanta far Into the future to avoid any danger of a shortage. Caaned Cora Will Coat High. j Wholesale grocers report trade for last week as being of very liberal proportions tor this time of the year. The market Is also In good shape and prices firm on , nearly all lines. There has not been much .change In sugar, and prices remain about -the same as they were a week ago. Con siderable Interest Is being manifested In the 1902 pack of corn. Packers claim that they are still unable to obtain the neces oary acreage, as farmers hsve the Idea that they can make more money raising field corn. What little has been contracted packers have been obliged to pay all the way from 25 to 33M per cert more than they did a year ago. In view of this sev eral of the largest packers have tempo rarily withdrawn from the market, and ay that they cannot accept more orders go long as present conditions prevail. Other lines of canned goods are also In a (rood, strong position, but no quotable changea took place during the week. In dried fruits peaches continue to at tract the most attention. It Is said that stocks are being rapidly concentrated on the coast In a few hands, -and desirable trades are now almost unobtainable. Prices on the choicer grades jre ViilHc higher than they were a week ago. In farinaceous goods oatmeal has ad vanced 25 cents per barrel, while beans remain practically unchanged. Rice Is being held at a little firmer price at the mills and small holders are said to be well Cleaned up. The cheese market continues to advance s-stocks of October-made goods diminish. Prtoes are now higher than they have been at any time In several years. Active Iloase Trade. There were more buyers on the dry goods market last week than at any time this season. A great many opening stocks were old, which Jobbers consider a good Indi cation of the growing popularity of this market. A great many of the. largest re tailers in the west are now depending entirely upon Omaha for supplies, whereas they formerly went farther east. Jobbers, In fact, find many encouraging features in their trade this spring, and as a result they are In the best of spirits. Retailers also seem to be full of encouragement for the future and are preparing no do more business than ever before. The market continues firm and but few quotable changes have taken place. It le aid that trade on American prints Is nearly as great as it was beforethe ad vance which went Into effect Saturday, Fe'eruary 23, which was mentioned a week go. As a result of the continued heavy demand stocks are naturally somewhat re duced, but present prices on all grades of prints are considered cheap. Owing to the i recent condition of the market for raw cotton, bleached and brown- goods are very firm in first hands and large operators say they would not be surprised to see an ad vance in the near future. Collections continue very satisfactory. Hardware Market Aboat Steady. The hardware murk a t in in. h Hhe same position It was a week ago. ucumjiu IV active tor an ainas or seasonable goods and In many casts it is difficult for jobbers to get enough stock to All their orders. The general disposi tion, however, seems to be to hold prices teady and not allow., them to advance, owing to a lack of supply. Manufacturers eem to prefer to handle what business they can take care of at present prices .than to raise their quotations and then 'take chances on a declining market later (on. mis aesire to keep prices where they belong Is giving wholesalers and retailers more than the usual amount of confidence in future-values and as a result they are willing to anticipate their wanta for some time to come. Ia speaking of the prospects for future business an Omaha jobber remarked that there la good reason for believing that Spring trade will break all previous records. Retailers who have been In th city speak very favorably of the trade they have had . during the winter and say that there will undoubtedly be a good deal of building .done this spring. Barb wire will be In big demand and In fact the entire line of spring goods ought to sell more freely than ever before. It Is the oolnlon of Jobbers that it the demand does come up o expectations late ouyers win nna them selves unable, to aet the foods thev wui and' for that -reason are advising their friends to place their orders early in the WS SOU. . Good Rabber Weather. - Rubber goods dealers have been having a very nice trade during the past several days. The mud and slush has created an exceptionally heavy demand for rubber boots, as well as sandals, and wholesalers liuve been rushed, to keep their orders filled. They look for a continued heavy demand unless March should be an ex ceptionally pleasant month. Retailers' stocks as a rule are not larsa. so that. with seasonable weather, orders should be both numerous and large. Rubber cloth ing is also moving quite freely and doubt less will be In still better demand when thes nrlng rains begin. Traveling men are also meeting with as I rood success as they could expect in land ng orders for fall goods. Retailers cleaned out their, last winter stocks t much better . Chan expected and conseoeuntly are willing to buy for next fall. The heavy demand xor ruuoer goons at ins present time Is also a good Influenced There has also been a good demand for . learner goons, a large number of mer chants have been comlna- on tha market completing their spring purchases, and be sides that a number of opening stocks jnave Den soia. inning it all together the demand for leather goods has been of very saueiaciory proportions. Fralta aad Prodaee. The demand for fruits mrA v.hidMu last week was In fairly good shape. Trade was not rushing, but still stock moved as rapidly as could be expected. There was no special feature to the market, however, as prices on nearly all lines hi,i ,, about steady. Nothing new arrived on the rnarket and the prices at which the staple ines are selling will be found in another Column. . Receipts of eggs last week were more liberal than the week before, but still they are not heavy. The market, however, has declined somewhat, as the quotations will show. Poultry lias held about steady all Vie week and there has not been much hange In butter. The demand and the supply seems io oe aDout even. beginning with Monday the price 'of oysters will drop back to where It was before the advance caused by the severe storms In the east. Advices from the east late last week stated that the supply wss sufficient to meet all requirements and ss the new stock, will arrive on the Omaha market by the first of this week buyers will no longer have their orders refused. Bulk standards are now worth li.ii and sxira selects ti.vi.Hk t. Loals Grata aad Provisions. BT. LOUIS. March l-WHEiT-t,... TJo.

Somewhat Nervoae. CHTCAOO. March 1. An excited oats market held the attention of speculators In R rains today. Alarmed shorts covered so urrledly that May oats lumped up 1c and other grains strengthened on the Influence. A sharp reaction followed and May wheat closed Ho. lower, Msy corn ir;fce lower and May oats only NfjVtc up. Provisions closed a shade to bffTWc lower. The early flurry In oats was the outcome of a report that the heaviest holder of May oats was ordering No. 1 mixed oats out of regular elevators for the purpose of shipping as much as possible of contract stock out of Chicago. Shorts regarded this as a challenge and for the first hour there wae a lively scramble to cover. There was some fear that an attempt was being made to force values before the govern ment crop report, which Is expected March 10. Receipts continue slow and there are no Indications that point to an early in creased movement. Storms are breaking up the roads. These Influences aided In the manipulation, which did not come en tirely unexpected. Nervousness prevailed all morning and the trade was heavy. Mav opened tfyc up at 44T4gM5c, eased momen tarily 10 iiiic ana men went upwara with quick jumps to 464c, One buyer got nearly 1,000.000 bushels at the high figure. Later the market quieted down and on an absence of demand prices slid back as quickly as they advanced. May touched 44 Ho and closed still firm, ftlgfto higher at 447('fi45c. Receipts, 84 cars. s heat was active at times, but with a declining tendency that was checked by the strength early In the coarse grain markets. The range was small and trade not heavy and all told there was little of importance doing. Damage " reports con tinued to come In from the southwest, but the crowd was slow to believe them and on the heavy rains the feeling was Inclined to be bearish. English cables were rather firm and the sharp bulge in oats and the com strength helped an early firmness. The Outsider was buying moderately, but the prevailing sentiment seemed to lack confidence. Sellers at the same time were cautious. There was no demand for cash wheat and there was nothing significant in receipts. May opened a shade higher to a shade lower at 77c to 76c, held steady near those prices the first hour or so and then, when corn broke, eased off to 76c. May closed easy, o lower at 76476c Receipts were 24 cars, none contract. Min neapolis and Duluth reported 358 cars, a total for the three points of 382, against 361 last year. Primary receipts were 642,000 bushels, compared to 626,000 a year ago. Seaboard clearances equaled 328,000 bushels. Corn was active and somewhat nervous. Early in the session small - acceptances over-night and higher southwestern mar kets firmed the market. Cables were slightly higher, but were disappointing to bulls, as were the Increased receipts. But the upturn In oats held corn to Its strength and May opened Wwhko to a shade lower at 6262ic. Fluctuations were narrow just after the opening and May sold up only to when oats were at their highest. As soon as oats started to react corn noiaers began to unload and the market turned de cidedly weak. Stop orders came out freely around 62c. The cash demand was dull and although the weather west was still stormy country offerings were liberal. May broke, the offerings being taken mostly by shorts and holders of privileges. May sold slow at 6)4'(ji1o and closed heavy and weak, lower at 81 He Receipts were 204 cars. Provisions opened with a better tone. The Uaht recelDts and higher prices at the yards were factors. Commission houses did some small Duying ana xuriner aavancea prices, un tne DUige - pacners onerea freely, considerable ribs were sold and on the grain slump prices eased under yes terday.

HEW YORK STOCKS AXD BONDS. Market Is Listless aad Idle, aad Re fleets Little Iaterest. NEW YORK, March 1 The stock mar ket was listless ana Idle today and Pe rt rcted declining Interest even on tne part of professional traders. Many of these have taken advantage ot the dull business on the exchange to go away for spring vacation trips and the absence from the street of many of the bankers and rail road proprietors, who are usually con cerned In large doings shows the general acquiescence In the present state ot things. The small traders, whose dealings make up the market, devoted their attention to the less Important stocks, which have occupied them for some time past. With the exception of a rise of l In American Cotton Oil, said to be due to favorable trade conditions, there was no movement ot sufficient Importance to chronicle. The bank statement showed a smaller decline In cash reserves than expected, but this was attributed to the working of the aver age system of computation, by which the gold shipments on ThoVsday figure for only three days In the statement. The loan item was also a relief. In the modest firoportlons of Its expansion, as a large ncrease had been Inferred. The room shorts, therefore, covered on the publica tion and Imparted some slight strength to the market. With both the loan and deposit Item of the banks at figures never before recorded In the history of the clear ing house and with the surplus down to the small sum of $9,975,936, the desirability of caution In Incurring obligations in the call loan market Is clearly recognised, and there is no apparent prospect of awaken ing speculation In the stock market. There has been a good demand for bonds, mostly for some of the speculative Is sues. United States Is, registered, ad vanced 4 and coupon and the new 4s 4 per cent over the closing call of last week. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: Practically noth ing was done In the stock market today. Kaffirs were dull on reports that Cecil Rhodes was seriously ill. It was even' rumored that he was dead, but there was no confirmation of the report. Ameri cans were stagnant on heavy gold exports. Gold to the amount of 20,000 has been received from Australia.

Armour A Co Total 4,948 479 CATTLE There were very few cattle in the yards today, so that a test of the market was not made. For the week re ceipts have been a trifle heavier than for the same week of last year, but a slight decrease is noted as compared with last week. The supply for the year to date shows ah increase of nearly 80,000 head. The steer market has been in good shape at this point most of the week. The de mand has keen fulTy equal to the supply, ariU as - a result tne tendency of prices has been upward. There Is some difference of opinion as to the amount ot the ad vance, but as a general thing sellers are calling It all the way from 10 to 20o higher than It was a week ago. The fdvance Is general on all classes of cattle. The top prlco of the 'week was 86.20, and there were other cattle good enough to bring 86.06 and 86.16. The bulk of the steers, however, sell from 15.26 to 85.76. There has been a lively cow market alt the week, and prices are a little better than they were a week ago. The advance, however, is confined to the bettei grades, such as are selling from 84.00 to 85.00, and amounts to 10g 20c. Occasionally a heifer will sell above 85.00, and as high as 15.60 has been paid. The bulk of the cows being offered aro selling from 12.75 to 14.00, and on such kinds there has not been much change. There Is a better demand, how ever, for the medium grades and canners than there was a week ago,-but prices are about tha same. Bulls have also improved In price, and a good many are now selling from 84.00 to 14.60. The common and medium grades of bulls have Improved fully as much as the better grades. The kinds that were selling from 12.76 to 13.00 two weeks ago are now bringing around 81.16 to 13.25. Veal calves and stags are also strong and active where tho quaMty Is good. Stockers and feeder have been scarce all the week, and as the demand from the country was better than usual prices ad vanced sharply. Stockers may be quoted 260-350 higher than they were last week, and as high as 15.25 was paid for choice stuff. Feeders are also stronger for the week. She stuff has Improved Just about the same as steers and stock heifers will now sell ss high as 83.26. At the close of the week very few cattle are left In the hands of speculators, so they will start In next week with empty pens. HOGS There was a very light run of hogs here today even for a Saturday and as a result prices improvea under tne in fluence of a good1 local demand. The ad vance amounted to 10c. The better weights sold largely from 16.05 to 86.15, medium weights from 15.95 to 16.05 snd light stuff from 15.95 down. It was a fairly ac tive market at these prices so far as the good stuff was concerned, but the light weights were neglected, the same as usual, and were left until the close of the mar ket. The supply or nogs for tne week has not been particularly heavy. A slight decrease is notea as compared wun last weeg anu as compared with the same week of last year there Is a marked decrease. The re ceipts for the year to date, however, show an increase of over 70,000 head. The tend ency of prices the first part of the week was downward and Wednesday proved to be the low day, when the average coat was down to 85.88. The market hus been going up since tnet time, so m week closes with prices about a dime higher than at the close of last week. Representative sales: No. A. Sh, Pr. No. Ay. Sh.

For the week receipts have been very lisht. a decrease being noted both ss compared with last week and also with the same week of last year. For the year to date there la a decrease of over 16.000 head In spite of the light run the tendency of prices was downward most of the week at all points. Lambs suffered the most snd as a general thing it is safe to call them ail the way from 15c to 25c lower than they were a week ago. Sheep and yearlings are also fully ldyi&a lower for the week. Ewes, however, have held fully steady ail the week and sellers have had little trouble In disposing of what they had. It should be noted that the greatest decline has been on the commoner grades. The quality of the offerings was 1.0 1 extra good, which doubtless had something to do with th downward tendency of prices. Very few feeders arrived during the week and . the market could safely be quoted steady on gooa stun. Quotations: Choice lightweight yearlings, K L ... A Jk - ,w4 a .knH.. u . u .lln..

What a Dank President Says .Aboat tho Rich Mia lea; Properties Owaed by The Black Tiger Copper Mining Go. W. C HENRY, president of "The Copper Bute Bank," of Grand Encamp ment, Wyo., In a recent interview, said: "Less than six weeks ago tho first Mock of 'Black Tiger stock wss offered only, 7 cents per share. Tho In vesting public displayed splendid Judgment and 'snapped' it up like the pro verbial 'hot cakes.' 81nce then, based upon the improved showing of tho mine, the value of this stock has advanced over 40 per cent. It is now selling at 10 cents per share. I know personally all the different properties owned by the 'Black Tiger Company,' snd in my Judgment, 'Black Tiger' stock at 19 cents a share is ths very best mining stock to buy 6n the market today. I prophesy there will be another advance ot not less than 60 per eent in Iom than sixty days. The huge tunnel Is being bored into the mountain side as fast as men and money can drive It, and within 800 feet of the tunnel's mouth the vein will be 'cross-cut.' , If, ss confidently expected, a great vein of rich copper ore is opened up, then 'Black Tiger stock will not only be worth par, $1.00 per share, but several dollars per share. Ths management of the 'Black Tiger is the very best, careful and economical. Not a dollar of salary la being paid to sinecure officers or directors. The company has no debts of any kind, and its title to its properties, consisting of over 80 acres of ths very choloect mineral lands in the copper fields of Southern Wyoming, Is in every way per fect I bad some of Ue ore assayed myself," continued Mr. Hecry, ."and It showed copper values all tbs way from 118.08 a ton up to 1219.71. per ton,, besides some gold." t The suadevslgnca Is the SOLE mm EXCLCSIVE Brokerage Flraa for tho salo of "Black Tiger" etoek.
