OMAHA, April B
Although this la rather a between aeaaon
terlod with Jobbers In most lines, there
as. nevertheless, a very fair demand last
reek for seasonable gooda. Not nearly as
Inany merchants arrived In the city as
rame In the week before, hut thowe that
were on the market as a rule placed heavy
prders. -Quite a few opening" stocks were
(old, which heljied to swell the total volume
of business. Not much Immediate business
I a expected, though, for the next few weeks
n Burn llnet as dry goods, boota and shoes
and clothing. What la needed to mike
those lines move freely Is warmer weather,
for as yet retailers have not sold any treat
Quantity of aummer lines. No complaints
are heard, however, aa everyone figures
that trade la sure to come soonor or later,
and If the season Is late It will simply
make the rush of business more pro
pounced when It once stts tn. In f.ict.
both Jobbers and retailers feel that the
Outlook for future business could not well
be more promising. Farmers are making
frond progress with their spring work, and
ind the ground In excellent condition. With
anything like normal weather from now on
dealers figure that confidence In future
business will Increase, whlrh will also tend
lo stimulate Immediate bualnesa.
Bo far as the markets are concerned
here la very little to be said. There has
rot been a single Important price fluctua
tion In cither direction since last report, so
lhat the markets havs been monotonously
Heady. About the only feature to the
trade seems to be the difficulty to get
prompt shipments of desirable lines of sea
sonable goods. This is true In dry goods,
carpets, nardware, gas and plumbing fix
tures, furniture and some lines of foot
wear. In fart the demand for practically
all lines seems, to be equal to or In excess
nf the supply. As long as that Is the case
Jobbers say there Is not much prospect of
slues seeking a lower level.
Groceries Steady and Active,
The grocery market has been unusually
Kteady the last several days. The demand,
however, hns been fully as good as usual
and In fact Jobbers And that they sold more
stock during the month of March this year
than they did a year ago. The sugar mar
Vet Is in practically the same position it
was a week ago, no change whatever hav
ing taken place. In farinaceous goods there
Is no change to note except In dried pens,
whlrh advanred lnc per bushel. Rolled
oats, beana and other lines of that class
are selling In the same notches they were
a week ago.
Tha canned goods market continues
strong on all lines, but no quotable change
baa taken place. This la particularly true
of tomatoes, stocks of which are becom
ing smaller at a rapid rate.
Dried fruits are moving out very rapidly
and desirable stocks are becoming very
carce. That Is especially true of ptaehes,
prunes and apricots. The market may be
quoted firm, but prices are about the same
as they were a week aco.
The rice market Is attracting considerable
attention owing to the threatened shortage.
It la stated that the bulk of the Japan crop
goes to the Philippine Islands and to South
Africa, which cuts off the supply to this
country. Stocks In the south are becom
ing well cleaned up, and It la claimed that
only the larger mills have much stock on
hand at the present time, and they are
taking advantage of the opportunity to
advance prices 4c to He per pound. A
still further advance would cause no sur
prise. Black Iron a Little Higher.
Local hardware Jobber are now enjoy
ing an active demand for all kinds of sea
aonable goods. The luck of settled, worm
weather has caused business to drag a
little up to this time, but every warm day
brings In a good batch of orders. Jobbers
now look for an active demand for the
next several weeks.
About the only change In the market
worthy of mention Is an advance In black
sheets amounting to about 10c per hundred
pounds. Other lines are selling In about the
same notches they have been, though the
J finer I market la in a very strong position,
nbhers continue to complain regarding the
difficulty they have In getting goods, and
say that It causes them no end of trouble,
as they are many times unable to give their
customers prompt service. The market,
however. Is as well supplied as any in the
country, so that wholesalers In all cities
are experiencing the same trouble.
The talked of advance In wire and nails
to take effect April 1, failed to develop, and
no Immediate change In the market Is
looked for.
Pry Goods Utile Quiet.
Bo far as Immediate business is concerned
the dry goods market was a little quiet last
week. Comparatively few dealers were In
the city, which formed a marked contrast
to the rush that was previously experienced.
Trade, however, kept up much later than
expected, so that Jobbera had- no com
plaints to offer. Several opening stocks
were sold last week, which helped to stir
things up a little. According to reports
received from the country retail trade so
far has only been of moderate proportions.
There has hardly been enough warm
weather as yet to create an active demand
for lightweight goods. Jobbers, however,
are taking advantage of this opportunity
to get their stocks In shape to handle a
big sorting up business a little later on,
whlrh they are sure will come.
Just at present traveling men are giving
most of their attention to advance busi
ness. Representatives of Omaha houses
are scouring the country taking orders for
fall shipment of blankets, underwear,
hosiery, and that class of goods. It Is raid
that they are meeting with exceptionally
good success and are selling a r od deal
more stock than they did a year ago at
this time.
There has been no particular change In
the market since last report. Cotton goods
alt continue In a good strong position, and
desirable lines are hard to get. Prices,
though, remain about the same aa they
were a week ago.
Sprlagr Goads "Move Slowly.
The weather thus far this spring has
been decidedly unfavorable to an active de
mand for lightweight shoes. Retailers have
sold comparatively little mock, and ns a
result Jobbers are receiving very few sislng
up orders. What Is nteded Is warmer
westher, and as soon as that arrives botn
Jobbers and retailers expect to do a ruh
ns business. It Is thought that trade Is
being somewhat delayed from tne fact that
oxfords will b worn more this season than
ver before, and most people will, of course,
not put on oxfords until more settled
weather arrives than has been experienced
up to the present time. There was a fairly
flood demand Just before Faster for ladles'
lnvi hot since that time trade In the
country has been quiet.
. The rubber business Is also about at a
"standstill. Leather goods men need warm
weatner ana ruuoer goous men neeu rniny
weather. The rubber men, though, are
looking for spring rains to set In within
a short time, which they hope will create
a rood demand for summerwelght goods.
Traveling men for local rubber houses
have met with good success In landing
fall orders, and It is reported that the
bulk of the orders for footwear have been
tilaced. Merchants as a rule cleaned out
their last winter stocks In good shape, and
for that reason were willing to buy an
other aunuly this year. Another feature
which helped was the fear of an advance
In price April i. u lauea to put In an
appearance and now no change la looked
for before November 1, and present prices
may noiu guoa umu January i.
Fruits and Produce,
There was a fairly good demand last
week for fruits ana vegetables, thouvh
there was not as much call for the high-
rrlced lines ss mere was lust before Easter
Buch vegetables as radishes, lettuce, green
onions and spinarn are coming on tne mar
ket a little more freely, but the demand
Is fully equal to the aupply, and prices
have not changed materially, though the
tendency Is downward. Strawberries are
also coming In, and by the middle of the
month It Is thought the stock will be In
hltmlnc condition. As yet nracticallv
notnlna has been sent to the country trade.
In another column the prices at which the
staple lines of both fruits and vegetables
are selling will be found.
Receipts of eggs were quits liberal last
week, but the demand was about equal to
the occasion, and although prices fluctuated
back and forth there waa not much change
as compared with a week ago. Poultry has
been scarce all the week, at d the demand
active, so that pnres are ajod and tlrm
Rutter has also been In llgut sunnlv. and
ths market strong, and It Is thought that
receipts will continue light for two or three
weeks more.
Ureen fish Is expected on the market
some tiro this week.

Speculators at Sea (Wer the
Crop Outlook.
BULLS AND BEARS ALIKE ARE CAUTIOUS
Wheat Goes tp and Down Over Aery
Narrow Kanae and Other Cereals
and Provisions Show
Like Tendency.
CHICAGO. April 6 Speculation on the
Board of Trade today was an Indifferent
affair, and with the exception of a grad
ual decline In corn prices hung steady.
May wheat closed a shade higher. May
corn sic lower and May oats Wc lowrr.
Provisions closed unchanged to 7'itiloc up.
There was very little desire to do one
thing or the other In wheat. Bearish con
ditions seemed to be In the majority, but
the slight breaks experienced were met
with fair rallies. At the outset cahles
were lower, but the crowd was talking of
the sale by an elevator of over l.OnO.noo
bushels of cash wheat at Duluth and re
fusals of bids for 400.0U) bushel9 more. This
business was said to have been done late
yesterday, and to have the Incentive for
the heavy early buying in the previous
Be.ssion. On this factor May opened rather
firm, unchanged to r up at ToVftl'ur.
The crowd feit very bearish anil the Mis
souri state crop report. Indicating 64 per
cent increase In acreage of wheat and a
condition of 90 per cent started lower
prices. The crowd was inclined to doubt
the cash sale story, but though May prices
sold oft to 70S'&'704C, a small demand oc
casioned a reaction and May closed steady,
a shade up at 7o7t'o;71c. The crop for Kan
sas Indicates 20 per cent Increase In acreage
over last year, of which 18 ner cent has
been damaged and will be given over tot
other grains. The remaining 82 per cent
shows a condition of 72. The business of
the day was not large and the trading was
spasmodic, the greater part of the time
being dull. Corn weakness exerted an In
fluence at times. Receipts, 5:1 cars, none
contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth re
ported 219 cars, a total for the three points
of 262, against 675 cars (two days) last
week, and fc3 (two days) a year ago. Pri
mary receipt were 310,000 bushels, com
pared to S22.HO0 last year. Seaboard clear
ances equaled 1s9.ono bushels. Australian
shipments for the week were 36O.Ou0 bushels,
compared with 6'.l2,0OO bushels last week.
Corn was weak. Liquidation of May de
liveries by commission houses nnd little
support by the bull crowd depressed prices.
Liverpool was weak and favorable crop
conditions pressed on the market. Country
offerings continued small, but rash busi
ness showed no Improvement. On the de
cline pit traders took fair amounts, pre
sumably playing the market for a hull
turn. Trade was small and the range
rather narrow. May sold from a9Xtr. to a
weak close, VS'Vc lower at 68VWiS4c. Re
ceipts, 87 rara.
Oats were dull. Following the weakness
In corn the far-off options were easier, hut
May had some little support and fluctuated
only narrowly. The Missouri state report
shows seeding condition March 29 at 62. as
against 25 this time a year ago. May
closed Vc lower at 42Sc. Receipts. 64 cars.
Provisions were dull much of the time,
hut had an upturn on the better hog situa
tion. Pork led In speculation and was
strong enough to give a firm turn to all
Iroducts. There was some fair early buy
ng for bulls of the local crowd, but after
this demand was filled trade hung Are. The
outsiders seemed to be well loaded up with
long property and waiting developments.
Cash trade waa featureless. May pork
closed 7S4filOc up at S16.47V4;. May lard 2Vfcc
higher at $9 60 and May ribs unchanged at
$8.874.
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,
30 cars; corn, 55 cars; oats, 75 cars; hogs,
32.000 hend.

JvKW YORK STOCKS ASD BOSDS.
Bank Statement Checks Speculative
Movement for flicker Prlcea.
NEW YORK. April 5. Todays stock
market continued to reflect the activity of
the speculative element which has caused
the revival In the market during the latter
part of the week, but their operations had
to meet heavy realizing sales after the
opening. The market had turned upward
again when the Important disclosure of the
shrinkage in the reserve of the banks
caused renewed selling and sent prices gen
erally below last nlgnt a level. Louisville
& Nashville was the only Important stock
to make notable headway on the final rally
and the market closed Irregular. There
as some reversion to the obscurer class
of stocks, as shown by the 20-polnt rise in
Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern, in
United States Express and 3' in Nashville,
Chattanooga & 8U Louis. Hocking Valley
made a renewed advance. Sugar and Colo
rado Fuel were under pressure, but rallied
effectively. The banks failed to show the
expected setoff to the drain Into the sub
treasury by any gain on the Interior move
ment of currency. Apparently losses were
Incurred on this account ns well as on sub
treaaury operations. There seems to have
been special transfers of specie to Philadel
phia during the week, which is attributed
to requirements growing out of the labor
situation In the coal fields. The disburse
ment of government Interest during the
week has made no impression on the sub
treasury absorption, which has been ag
gravated by large deposits of lawful money
for account of national banks which are
retiring their circulation.
The activity In the stock market gave
warning of a probable Increase In the loan
account of the banks. The net result is a
cutting down of the surplus by two-thirds.
Gold exports are considered probable next
week.
The Commercial Advertiser's Ixmdon
financial cablegram says: "The stock mar
ket was Illuminate, consols weakening on
the release of dividends, but the absence of
peace news and the shadow of the new
budget encourages the bear element. Amer
ican Bhares began firm, but closed steady.
We are Inclined to distrust the spurt In
prices In New Y'ork."

steady, with prices steadv, 1W4 points
higher, a response to bullish Liverpool
newB. After the call the list sank back to
8.92c for July, under heavy prollt-tuklng by
the commission house contingent and large
offerings by a prominent Philadelphia
house. Room traders later came to the
support of the market, which, however,
worked higher In a manner so sluggish as
to make the more timid holders uneasy.
Port receipts for the day were estimated at
9.000 bales, against 15.62o the same day last
year. Private advices from the south again
described firm spot markets. As the ses
sion progressed Wall street picked up
August contracts and appeared to be sell

the market was hesitant. The market

CATTLE There were practically no
cattle on sule today, the fresh receipts
being consigned direct to packers. Fur
the week receipts show a Blight increase
over last week and as compared with the
same week of last year there Is a big gain,
as will be seen trom the table given above.
The demand, though, was equal to the
occasion and on desirable grades ot killers
prices are fully us high as they were a
week ago and on some kinds the market Is
higher.
Receipts this week have Included a good
many beet steers and the quality was by
far the best of the season. The local de
mand was of liberal proportions and be
sides that there were snipping orders to be
tilled, so that the market moved upward
at a rapid rate until Thursday. Thursday
a. ud Friday prices eased off about 15c, so
that the week closed not lar from steady
with last week, though In spots the F'rlday
market looked strong to a dime higher
than the week before. There were a good
many cattle this week good enough to bilng
from $6 5o to $6.75 and several sales were
made at $6.80, with the top for the week
of $6.90. The demand waa good for both
the prime heavyweights and also the good
medium weight cattle, and, as the com
moner kinds also sold to good advantage,
sellers found nu trouble in disposing of
whatever cattle they had.
The cow market is also higher for the
week, but the advance Is contlned to the
good to choice grades. Choice cows and
heifers are selling from $5.25 to $6.00 and
occasionally a sale will go a little above
that. Suh kinds are undoubtedly 104 15c
higher for the week. The kinds lhat sell
from $4.25 to $5.25 are also KKijloc higher,
but the medium and common kinds have
not shown much change. Canners In par
ticular have been hard to move at any
price and are no more than steady for the
week.
Bulls, veal calves and stags of good qual
ity have also Improved somewhat this
week, owing to the higher prices ruling on
cow stuff.
There hns been a good demand all the
week for feeders showing weight and qual
ity and prices are fully steady for the
week. Not many of that class of cattle
have been In. however, as the receipts of
stock cattle have been largely composed of
lightweight stuff of rather Inferior quality.
The demand for common cattle is very
light and In fact It Is almost Impossible
to sell such kinds at any prices and the
market Is unevenly lower for the week.
Representat Ive sales:
HOGS There was a light run of hogs
here today for even a Saturday and pack
ers took hold In good shape and bought
up everything offered In fairly good sea
son at right around steady prices. The de
sirable grades sold steady to strong, while
the lightweights were steady to a shade
lower. The range of prices showed very
little change from yesterday. The bulk of
the good weights sold from $6.66 to $6.76 and
as high as $6.86 was paid. The medium
weights went mostly from $6.60 to $6.65 and
the light stuff sold from $6.60 to $6.65.
For the week receipts have not been ex
cessive as compared with the last several
weeks, but when comparisons are made
with the corresponding week of last year
It Is seen that there Is a big gain. The
exact figures will be seen In the table of
receipts at the head of the column. In
view of the liberal demand prices moved
upward after Monday until Friday when
there was a reaction of about 6c, but the
week closes with the average cost of all
the hogs a little better than at the close ot
last week. Representative sales:

SHEEP There were no sheep on sale this
morning with which to make a test of the
market. For the week the supply has been
fairly liberal, though there Is a slight de
crease both as compared with last week
and also with the corresponding week of
last car. The demand ha been In good
shape most of the time and aa a generul
thing prices are a little better than they
were a week ago. Ewea, wethers and year
lings are right around lil5c higher for
the week and good wooled lambs are sell
ing fully aa high as they did a week ago.
Clipped stork, however, is a shade lower if
anything. A good proportion of the re
ceipts now constat of clipped stock and
prices range about 25)50c under the quota
tions on wooled stork. There seems to bt
sn active demand on the part of packers
for stork showing quality but the com
moner grades are neglected.
Feeders continue in verv light supply and
the demsnd has been sufficient to take all
that was offered at strong prices.
