Th demand for all esonable roods con
tinues of very liberal proportions In this
city. In some lines the bulk of the spring
-ods have been bought, but In spite of
that fact sales are keeping up much better
nan usual and In fact are exceeding all
expectations. In such lines as hsrdwar
the demand for spring Broods Is still In full
wing, and Jobbers report Terr heavy sales.
-According to all reports received from the
country retail trade la opening up In good
ahape and promises to be much larger
when the weather becomes more settled.
The cool weather, particularly the early
tart of last week, rather put a stop to retail
uslnesa, but with anything like seasonable
weather this week merchants are counting
on an enormous trade. After Easter dry
T roods Jobbers and boot and sho men are
ooklng for more fllllng-ln orders thsn they

be broken bjr that time to a considerable
extent.
Local houses still report the number of
opening stocks being bought In this city as
wery large. Several large stocks were sold
last week, and It is reported that several
more will be sold this week. There has
never been a time when as many large
opening stocks were sold In Omaha as dur
ing the last two months.
The markets on practically all tinea con
tinue very firm, and In fact eeveral ad
vances have taken place during the last
few days. There have been no Important
Teductlona In price, and none are looked
for in view of the enormous demand that Is
being experienced all over the country. Col
lections are In good shape and Jobbers
report very few losses from bad accounts.

Wholesale grocers reported the volume
of business for last week as being of very

for the corresponding week of last year.
A few lines fluctuated to some extent last
week, but aa a general thing the market

and raws are c higher than they were a
week ago. The New York market for re

The cold weather of th earty part of
last week made spring lines of dry good

There was nothing but bear talk from

rains in the southwest snd additional
showers fell west and northwest. Cables
also were weak and turned weaker aa the
day advanced. Receipts, both local and
northwestern, were still small, dui tnis in

early export trade, was lost sight of In the
mad rush to throw stun: overboard, duiis
were nearly In a panic There waa a gen

the tones. Trade waa heavy and at times
very exciting. Farmer wer reported sell

eHe to lower at TJSTZSc and be
fore the early selling rush quieted down
May touched 2Hc Shorts here began tak
ing some of their shorts and the market
steadied, though there was still a marked
bearish feeling prevalent. Then corn, which
waa very weak to start, turned still weaker.
There waa almost a panic In that pit and
the demoralised condition of that market
was reflected In wheat. May wheat dropped
to 71Hc Bear were selling short in great
quantities and every holder of long wheat
loat heavily. Stop-loss order also added a
downward Impetus.
It wss expected that a good export busi
ness would spring up at the low prices and
late In the day New York did report 1U
loads taken. There waa also a sale of 110,
0(0 bushels of No. 1 hard winter sold here
for shipment, but shorts were not fright
ened. For a time there was some buying
by prominent houses but this only brought
a sugnt reaction. traders tnougnt tnat

Primary receipt were 447.000 bushela, com-

4Ss.0no bushels last year. Seaboard clear
ances In wheat and flour equaled iuo.ouo
bushels.
Corn took a headlong tumble at the open
ing. Lower cable, warmer weather and
general country selling, following hard
upon the wheat weakness, resulted In an
opening for May tjc to c lower at B9i

but it was soon argued that farmers were
more Inclined to dlspoee of their holdings
and the bears started hammering again.
At times aood covering wss done at tne
declining prices. But In corn, as In other
grains, there was always more long stuff
for sale than could be absorbed. May com
lunsed down to 68ic and hung very
eavy. closing weak. 2V4c lower at that
figure. Receipts, 134 cars. Trade was very
large more so than in eeveral weeks.
From tne start oats ruled weak. Advan
tage was taken of the weakness in corn
and wheat to hammer May options, and
they suffered much. July and September
were weak with other grains, but met with
a fair support. Receipt were large and 4
per cent of them were contract grade. The
warmer wearner is aning mucn to encour

ness in May, which started XHo lower at

There was fair support at this low figure
and May reacted to 42fcc, but on the second

cloaed weak, lhbc lower at 41o. Receipts
were 149 car.
Provisions early developed a very strong

NTTW TORK. March 22. There was a
good deal of activity In today' market, but
It was congested in a tew hocus, oi.
as the favorite and there was some ae-
matul for ITnlon Pacific Rock Island was
erratic and kept dropping back after lta
advances to last night s level, wnere it
ended the day. The action of the wheat
market gave a hopeful feeling regarding
winter wheat, but it ia not clear why St.
Paul should be picked for the leader on
that score. The hop of a favorable bank
statement waa a factor in the buying, but
the trader took their profits In bt. Paul
before the appearance of that document,
perhaps on information a few minutea in
advance that It would disappoint expecta
tions to a degree.
The ear y market for railroad stock was
firm. In sympathy with Bu Paul and weak
ened with It. but the total range was very
moderate. The active specialties were Ir
rerular. but mainly reactionary. Those
that were strong lost a good part of their
galna. The various rubber stocks ana
AiocKing vosu were u cuubjjicuuub in
stances.
The reduction of I11.13B.400 in the deposits
of the banka relieved the reserve require
ment so as to guard the surplus, which
howed a small Increase. But the propor
tion of cash in the deposit decrease was
anrer than expected by about xs.ouo.wai.
What the source of this extra drain on the
banks was does not appear. There waa.
however, no large resumption of buying of
stocks after the bank statement appeared
and the market closed Irregular.
Some of the seml-specuiatlve bond issues
have been In active demand during the
week, but the general market has been
rather dull and Irregular. United States
bonds were all unchanged as compared
with the closing call of last week.
The Commercial Advertiser s London
financial cablegram says: The stock mar
ket was quiet and Irregular, but generally
teady. The attendance on the floor of the
exchange was small owing to the university
boat race, consols were still easy at im.
American share were Idle but Arm, St.
Paul. Atchison and Illinois Central were
higher, but allil below parity. Any sign of
local initiative ia entirely lacking, iuo
tinto were weak at 4S-

CATTLE There were not enough cattle
here today to make a market, and for
the week receipts have alao been rather
moderate. A decrease of about 2.000 head
la noted aa compared with the previous
week, and aa compared with th same week
of last year tnere is a suu greater oe
crease. The demand on the part ot local
. . . . Th. ,l.mafi
packer ha been active all tne week, and
aa a result th market ha been active and
trans.
A fair proportion ot in onennga tni
week consisted of beef steers, and some of
the cattle showed considerable quality. The
hulk of the offerlnaa. however, waa made
up of the medium grades, and the demand
for that claas of cattle was exosptlonaily
good. In fact, handywelght cattle of
medium price are selling better than the
choice heavywelghta, though all kinds are
higher than they wer a weea ago. as a
feneral tning tne maraet may oe quoieu
ora2on hlxher. The s res test advance has
been on the medium kind. Good to choice
rattle are Quotable from $6.00 to $6.76. me
dium grades from $640 to $5 90, and th
commoner grade ar Ulnar' from $6-25
down. ....
The cow market is also very active so
far a good stuff la concerned, and price
ar now at the highest point reached so
far this year. Packer are all very anxious
for the better grades and are paying pro
nnrtlonatelv higher price for them than
for steers. In view of th high price
ruling the market U, Of course, rather
uneven, nut tnere is no doudi out wna
the kinds that ar selling from M 75 to 60
mrm hlHhcr than they were a week ago.
Cattle that sell below $4.00 are neglected
ni no more tnan steany witn laat wee.
Canners, In particular, are hard to dispose
nt aa none of ths packer eem to wsnt
them snd sellers hav to take whatever
they can get.
Bull, veal carve and stag are all fully
as high a they were a week ago. Good
stuff sells readily, but common stuff
nevlcted.
There hav been a good many atock cattl
on sale, and prlcea on both ateers and she
tnflr la 15i25a lower for the week except
where the quality Is very choice. The
beet grades are fully atesdy. Strictly prime
steer weigmng irom iw i.iw pounc.s
would doubtless eli st 36.0O or better. The
bulk of the cattle being offered, however,
are selling from 33 76 to $4.36, with most
ot the good to cholc grades going from
3AS5 to $4 76.

of hogs here today and th tendency of
price continued upward, which earrie the
markt to th highest point of th month.
Th demand was active on the part of
local packers and tt only took a short time
for the bulk or tne oirenngs 10 cnangs
hands. The extreme close of the market
waa a Uttle slow and weak, aa packers
seemed to have their more urgent orders
filled. The general market, however, waa
a big nickel higher. In soms eaaea aales
wer made that were a good deal more
than a nickel higher, but that occurred
more often witn tne iignier noga. rrora
this It la seen that the market was rather
uneven, but the avtrage price shows an
advance of more than 5c. The bulk of the
hogs sold from $6.26 to $6.46. Choice heavy
hogs sold largely from $6 35 to $4.45, me
dium weights went from 86 26 to $6.35 and
the lighter loads from $6 25 down. The
quality of the hogs bb a whole was good.
Receipts of hogs for the week have been
a trifle leas than for the laat several weeks,
but aa compared with the same week of
last year there 1 an increase. Th gen
eral tendency of price has been upward
all the week, the only setback having oc
curred on Thursday. Ths total advance for
the week amojnta to a llttl over Joe

ltFRP There wer bo fresh arrival
f sheep and lambs ner todar with which
a make a teat of th market. For th
week recelpta hav only been fair, as a
slight decrease Is noted compared with
last week snd a compared with th sam
week of last year there IS a ami greater
decrease. The table at the head of th
column shows th exact figures.
The local demand ha been of libers!
proportions all the week and as a result th
market is considerably higher than It ws
a week ago. It Is noticeable, however, th"
pckr all want the gigvl stuff, wnl.e in
commoner kinds sr more or less neglected.
The quality of the offerings this week na
not been very good, which has hd rthr
a had effect upon the market. It is safe to
sav. however, that anytning icon in ire
war of sheep I 154y?.ie higher than at tha
rloee of laat week. Lambs have also Im
proved, but there has been nothing cholca
offered the last few days to make a fair
test of the market. The general opinion .
however, that strictly choice lambs would
sell 15c or 25c higher than th am kind
broutht last week.
Feeders have been in light supply an tn
week, while the demand hns been null
liberal for desirable grades of both sheep
and lambs. As a result prices are strong
and. If anything, a little higher than laat
week.
