Traveling men els met with good success oa the road, aa that trade as a whole waa very atlclao tory ta Omaha houses. The most important feature of the mar ket is the strong tone to the cotton market.

Spring business- is now opening up In good chape and Omaha houses report trade as linn much better than It waa a weak ago. There Is gnnd evidence that spring lines will 'be In still better demand In the Bear future, -as Uis late buyers cannot postpone ordering much longer. So far this season more hardware ha been sold out of Omaha than over- tfore during the same period last year and It is the general opinion that unless something unexpected happens ths balance will continue in favor of this year.

NaW TORK, March I Considerable ln tarest rElerad today in the bank stste ment and pending its pubilcatiox opera tions in the stock market were wKhout mock significance except In a few stocks. The early market showed some Irregu larity, but the prominent railroad storks were firmly held and ths limited selling was chiefly In the specialties, particularly Colorado Fuel. Modexste buying of Mis souri Pacific and Rock Island advanced those stocks 1 to 3 polrts and there was some disposition to cover later In the spe dsJtiea, bringing the entire market above laat night. Colorado Fuel waa .lfted U above terdsy's close, but dealings were unimportant in other metal stocks, except Amaigsmsted Copper, which mbewed mo mentary strength. There was soms re newal of the recent demand for yester days stocks, but material advances were confined to Pari tic coast common and the second preferred. Meetinghouse Electric, Minneapolis A 8r Louis and Pacific Mail, the latter being bought on expectations of a renewed agreement with the Panama Railroad company Publication of the bank ststement. showing a loss of nearly , WO.fmo. which more than doubled the pre liminary estlmstea, started Belling of 1 b general list. Prices, however, did not, yield much except in some of tbe stocks which had notably advanced earlier, and there Waa no decided preesure at any time. Bom pressure waa felt at the increased loan hem of fS.UMO.flnn. Tbe Immense cash loss was quite genera Try attributed to the va garies of the banks average system. With surplus reserves down te less than 34.1106, flu". and the gold export movement un checked the crpinloa naturally prevails that higher money rates are imminent. The market closed active and saay.

For the week a slight gala ever last week is noted in the receipts and as compared with tbe aame meek et last year there is a good substantial gain. For the year to date, as will be aeea from the table given above, 1 there is aa Increase over the same period of last year of about kl.OOO head. A fair proportion of tbe arrivals thl reek has consisted of beef steers. Tba de mand was fully equal to the supply, so that each day offering waa picked up la good season. There was not very much change In ths prions paid, but if anything the medium kinds of cattle such aa sell from 8i.ee to 85.50 arc a little higher. In most cases, however, the advance would be covered by lOtBlic The better grades have been strong all ths week, but they could not be ouoted much if any higher. Th hulk of tbe cattle being offered are selling tram (5.00 to 85.75, whue the choicer grades ara going front 15.7s to 3C25 and something sirteuy prim might sell jp to 35. There ba keen a lively cow market her all this week. The better grades, in par ticular, have sold well, and anything good enough to bring tt.00 or better has been la big demand.. Aa high ae 85 80 has been paid for cows, anils individual heifers have sold up to 8500. The market thla week has been at the high point of the season, and lr fact at the highest point reached tn a good many years. As is apt to be tbe case under such circumstances, the market has been rather uneven. Soma sales look a good deal higher than the aame kinds brought a week ago, whils others do not show so much change It Is safe to say, however, that the marckt 1 strong and active for the week. Bulls are selling 1 about tbe sam notches they were a week ago. There ta new quite a strong demand for stock bulls weighing around 7u0 or HoO pounds. Tha good to choice packer bulls are still sell ing from t4.0l to 84.au, Veal calve are fully Bteady for the week, as high aa 87-00 hav ing been paid this week. Slag are also about sieatly. The stocker and feeder trade ha been ta good shape ail ths week. There Is a good demand for all weights provided the quality la satisfactory. Commoa kinds, however, are neglected, ae matter whether tbey are light sr heavy. A compared with the close of suat week there is not very much change in ruling quotations. HOGS There was not a particularly heavy run of hogs here today, so that ths market held up in fairly good snap. The ajoality of th offerings was net as good today as tt was yesterday, so that th market oa paper looks lower thsa it really waa. The belter grades sold sieady to a shade easier, while the leas deairable grades sold as much aa a nickel lower. Tbe first part of ths market was fairly active and the bulk of the ofierlngs was disposed of In good season. As usual, however, the tight atuS was neglected and left until the last, and aa packers wera not at all anx ious for that claas of hogs the market closed slow and weak, lite bulk of ths hogs today Bold from 88-00 te t&lk. Heavy weights went from t10 to 8V2&, medium weights from 8S.WI to 84.10, and light stuff from 8 00. down. The supply of hogs for the week ha not been muck dl ft erect -from last week, but much heavier than tor tbe same week of laat year. Tbe increase for the year te date over last year amounts to ever 75.000 head. Ths market on ins average has been higher than It waa laat asek. Monday started la with aa advance of about a tflme. but by Wednesday It was all lost and snore, .too. The week, however, closed by 10c higher than th doe (it last week.
