THE OMAHA DAILY TtEE: SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 1f02. nn CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE All Line" of Basinets Felt the Effect of Last Week'r Unpleasant Weather. PRICES FIRM WITH TENDENCY UPWARD CitrnalT, Preparation Helner Marie for Fall Trade br Local Jnkbrri ad Liberal Advaneo Order Jlow Coming Forward. Molt linen of business In Omaha and eur rounding territory have not been an ac tive for the laat several days aa might be expected. The principal reason Is doubt less the lark of pleasant weather, which baa kept shoppers at home. When refill trade a quiet wholesale business li bound to be affectJd, so that Jobbers as well an manufacturers are looking anxiously for more pleaaant weather. In a great many localities farmers are beginning to need rain badly and there Is some tendency on the part of retailers to hold up their orders until they sea more favorable conditions. Aa a rule, though, merchants are not at all worried about the future, but, on the con trary, are looking forward to a very profit able and busy season. Taking everything Into consideration, trade with retailers so far has been of very satisfactory propor tions, and. that being the case, they natu rally figure that when settled weather does arrive they will do a rushing business. An fnr as the markets are concerned. there have not been very many changes to ruling quotations during the week under review. Prices seem to l firm all along the line and most of the changes that have taken place have been In the direction of advances. Everyone seems to be looking for firm, active markets for some time to com and on a good many llnea there Is a marked tendency, both among retailers and Jobbers, to anticipate their wanta far Into the future. Tobacco Tax Reduced. Wholesale grocers are calling the atten tion of their customers to the fact that on July 1 the Internal revenue on plug and smoking tobacco, as well as on snuff, will be reduced 8 6-loc per pound. This reduc tion will bring the tax down to 6c per pound on all manufactured tobacco. The Continental and American tobacco compa nies announce that there will be no change In the style of their goods after Julv 1. but prices will be reduced 2c per pound. The I'nlted States government will protect holders of stocks that amount to $10 or more where the stock Is in unbroken pack ages. In order for retailers to take ad vantage of this rebate It will be necessary for them to have a stock of about 2W Sounds In unbroken packagea. As the re union In the price of tobacco after July 1 will amount to only 2o per pound, while the rebate from the government amounts to 8 6-lOc, the profit to the trade will be 1 6-lOc tier pound. Jobbers report that re tailers are already beginning to stock up heavily and an enormous trade la expected from this time until July 1. The sugar market Is In Just about the same position It was a weok ago. The market may be quoted atrong at the quota tions and an advance Is looked for at most any time In view of the fact that the period of heavy consumption Is now close at hand. ... Dried fruit are moving out very rapidly and espeelallv Is that true of peaches. It Is predicted that (in advance will take place on almost th? entire line. There Is also a good llvelv demand for canned goods of nearly all descriptions, hut there have been no changes In prices during the last several dava. Owing to the high price of corn, syrup has again advanced and the market Is firm at the higher prices. The rope market is still going up rapidly because of the advance In the raw fibre. The advances are affecting both sisal and Manila rope. The recent advancea In raw cotton have also caused higher prices to rule on cotton lines and twine. There is practically no change to report In the coffee market, as prices are Just about the same as they were a week ago. The market la fluctuating back and forth through a narrow margin, but It cannot be aid that the market is either higher or lower than It was a week ago The de mand for coffee Is light, according to re ports received from .the east. Strong; Cotton' Ooodg Market. . Th cotton goods market still Temalns In a very strong position, oraen nroij Ft tlaced freely Dy ootn joourrs nu iraiun. .... hnv en t inn soods for later shipment. i l. k.in frMlv nredioted bv those who are In a position to know that all lines of plain good will be on a higher basla at no very distant date. .... , 8o far aa the trade situation is con cerned local Jobbers have no complaints to offer. House trade has, of course, been quiet, the same aa uaual at this time of yesr Mall orders have been light, but numerous. Retailers complain to aome extent about the lack of pleasant weather to enaDie ineir emmmr m "u nma ihnmilni and at the same time they want rain. The cotnplalnta, though, are not ae.rloua and practically everybody la looking for a brisk demand to set In within a vtry short time, in niMi r tr, rinse out their stocks and tnusi room for fall lines local Jobbers have made error reductions In prices which have given them considerable Immediate busi ness In wash goods. Omaha retailers have taken advantage of this opportunity and have made aome heavy purchases at the vedured mire. Very extensive preparations are being made by local houses for fall trade and as a result they will have larger and mora complete lines than ever before. Advance orders for fall on all llnea of goods, In cluding Cantons, Dometa, blankets, hosiery, uurwar and dress goods, have been lara-r and mora numerous than ever be farm this early In tha season and If the cut loo g for crops continues favorable It is thought that Bales will tar exceea an pre vious reeorda. Tha success that Jobbers met witl. laat year In handling cloaka has warranted them In carrying a much mora ilenilve Una thla season than last and large orders are already being placed. Oood Desaaad for Hardware. Hardware Jobbers experienced a good brisk trade last week for all seasonable Unas of sunns gooda ana in fart they had bout all the business they could com fortably handle. Tha demand, did not run to any on line, but waa general for all claases of staple goods. There la, of course, aoarclty In a good many llnea. but Omaha bouses are pretty well supplied In most Unas so that they are able to give their ustomers good service. Tbe wind: and dust of last week had a very bad effect on the DaJnt trade and aome dealers say tbat It cut a big hole in their business. This la tne neignt of the paint season, so that dealers feel the ef fect of the unfavorable weather to a marked degree. They think, however, that they will do fully as much business In the end and that thla la only a temporary lull. The market on all staple llnea of hard war remains Just about the aam as It waa a week ago. The feeling la firm all long tha Una, but thera have been no quotable change worthy of mention. No very aenaaUonal developments are looked for for soma time to come and moat job bers predict Juat firm, active market for a Indeaou lengin ox lime. Weather Too Cold. There hag not been enough warm weather as yet to make spring lines of footwear move out wnn mucn rapiauy. Most peo ple are attll wearing their winter shoes, hut retailers Bay that It will only take a couple of warm, pleaaant days to make trade very brisk. The fact that low shoes will be worn more titan ever before naturally haa tendency to delay buvlna. aa men in particular will not put on a new nair of low shoes aa aarly aa they would a new high shoe. No oomplalnta are beard thou ah. for each week shows an Improve ment over the preceding week, and both Jobbers and retailers are confident that the trade la coming and that la only question of lima. Blslng-up orders are coming mora rapidly with Jobbers and within ten days they predict thera will do big Improve ment In that Una. Kail orders are also coming In very freely and the way thlnga look now Job ber will have more on hand thia year tha they did last and that la saying a good d-al. The rubber trade la, of course, quiet wing to the fact there has been so little rain. Jobbers are still hoping for a week or two ot rain, which win give retaiiera chance to unload what stock thsy hav on ana, as wt-u aa make tnem buy more. Frail anal Prod sea. There haa been a marked Improvement In the demand for fresh fruits and vegetablea during in last few daya. The suonly o green stork has Increased aood deal, but the quotation, have not been reduced much owing to tne fact that consumption haa n. creased about aa raDldlv as tha sunfiiT Strawberries are selling at about the same prtcre they were a week ago. The atock that arrived last week was nut very choice. but a big Improvement la looked for Ihls we a. Oreen peaa. wax bean, rhubarb, radishes, lettuce and all such lines are In good sup ply ana are selling rreeiy at tne quotation given In another column. The egg market I In much the aam position it was a week aao. Price hav huxtod right around 14 and lVk cents and occasionally reached U cents. The poultry market has eased off a little In view of the iuuiisi ustcevutl uid Uocrai supply. Th butter market km also taken a drop be cause of Increased receipt. OMAII A WIIOLEALR MARKETS.

CHICAGO, April 26 Wheat experienced normal reaction from vesterdav'a bad lumo and with numerous bullish factors behind lent its strength to other aralns. Trade was not heavy, but July wheat nieea to nigner, July corn 'o nigner no juiy oats 'i'ac nigner. I'rovi-ions alned l!4c to 1". 'sc Deficiency of moisture In Kansas and al most freezing temperatures In many parts of the wheat belt was enough to start wheat upward at a good pace at the open ing of trade. To augment the strength ca bles were firmer than had been expected nu receipta botn primary and northwesi- rn were email. Inasmuch as the shortage n" receipts has been apparent for some time and comparisons have been made against a short-cron vear. the bears be came discouraged again and shorts cov ered freely. Excepting rains, every argu ment was in lavor or tne duiis. Traders were of the opinion that It takes some thing more than a rain or two to make a harvest. After the Initial upward Impulse trade was quiet for a time prices fluctu ated weakly. Concerning Kansas Hrad- treet's hud a special report saying a hree-fourths yield at the best and 60 per cent probable was to be expected. weatner torecasts had a bad effect. Frosts were predicted In many of the western state and In Just the places where warmth Is most necessary. Then came the report of seaboard clearances of m,'v Dusneiit, exceptionally large and of 1 fair outlook for export business with France. Prices worked up, trade became more ucttve and the greater rart of yes terday's loss was regained. July opened Ho to i-4c higher at 76Vu75! to 754'(75l. lovanceu 10 ibnc ana closed nrm, iv up at l -i, 1 T ..... 1 - ji ........ none of contract grade, making a total for the three points of 16 cars, against 14.1 last week and 349 a year ago. Aus tralian shipments were only 152.0m bushels. against oTtt.mO bushels last year. Primary receipta were Zla.Ooo bushels, compared to 44."i.(m bushels lust year. uroKers on corn reported tne lightest trade In that pit for Saturday in many Weeks. One explanation was the bad wire service on account of the storms, which almost shut off outside trade. Another cai se was the hard Jolt speculators re ceived yesterday and which they had hardly gotten over today. What argument there waj favored the bulls. Wheat strength and firm cables aided in an early upturn, but prices were very narrow most of the session. Speculative offerings were very light and consequently there was lit tle selling pressure. The cash demand was good and southwest was very bullish, bt. Louis reported good cash sales and more desired than could be obtained. In gen eral corn waa without feature, save Its strength. July sold between G4,'ff34e and closed firm, up at 63.c. Receipts were 94 cars. After a firm opening In oats in sympathy with the strength in the other pits mere was a momentary selling press ure due to the recent heavy raina and their effects on the sown oats. When this pressure was removed there was some re sponse to light demand and prices ad vanced. July (new standard) sold between 374&37HC and 37c and closed firm, Atic up hi dik'(i Jivc. ricceipta were 13 cars. Trade In provisions waa largely local be cause of wire service. At the start th grain Improvement and a steady hog mar ket reduced buying, which (even as hog prlcea weakened) continued to Improve. There was a momentary disposition to sell on tne nog situation, but a very good packers' support developed a strong mar ket. Pork was in best demand, but lard was also wanted. Trade In a-eneral waa dull. July pork closed 174c higher at $17.06; July lard 124c up at $10,074 and July ribs 124c higher at $9,474. Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat, 25 curs; con), 125 cars; oats, 205 cars; hogs. 32,ono head. The leading futures ranged a follows: Articles.) Open. I High. Low. Close.l Yes'y.

SEW IORK STOCKS AD BO MIS.. lock Market Quirt, bnt Sharp Ad vancea la Industrials. NEW YORK. April 26. Todays stock market was rather quiet and gave very little evidence of the activity of the large speculative forces which have kept up the animation of the market during the week. New York was the only sympathetic Influ ence on the stocks of eubdlary or allied companies. The 12 point rise In New York, New Haven & Hertford was sup posed to have some connection with the strength of the two principal trunk line stocks. There Were shArn Advances In a numlior of industries and specialties which had no apparent connection and were not ex plained by any news development. The bank statement proved closely In accord with yesterday's preliminary es timates and was accepted as favorable, but the attempt to make realizing sales on the expectation that demand for stocks would De attracted by the statement found a yleldlna market and nrlren w.r rnrri,rt downward In many Important stocks to be low nignt s level. Yesterday s support for the United Plates steel stocks waa lacking and those stocks were heavy throughout. The grangers seemed somewhat alTected by the firmer tone of the grain markets. There was no sequel to the late spurt In Southern railway and that stock sagged until the close. The closing generally was acuve ttuu easy. The session of the committee having In hand the attempted settlement of the an thracite miners demands was a repressive influence on speculation, but the tone of the market seemed chiefly due to the dis position of operators to take a whole hol iday Instead of a half dav after the con siderable activity and excitement of the week. Speculative and convertible bonds have been very active, moving In sympathy with Biocas. inueu mates 1 advanced 4 per cent over the closing call of last week.

The table of receipts a Dove win show mat for the week the supply is a trifle in excess of Inst week and of same week of last year. The mar ket haa been father uneven and while there Is no great change for the weea, prices fluctuated more or less from day to day. Beef steer made up the bulk of the offer ings all th week. The quality waa the best that has been seen Here this year. Tho tirst part of the week trading was quite active and the tendency ot prices waa upward, nut tn last nait tne market was Blow and price broke. As compared with the close ot last week choice cattle are probably not over 5510c lower, but the medium grade and undesirable cattle of all kinds are safely loruloe lower, and in some cases the decline Is, perhaps, even more than that. The choice export cattle and the llahtwelght cattle of good flesh and quality continue to sell to the best ad vantage, ab nign aa 8' naa peen paia mis week for rattle weighing 1.629 pounds. Prime steer may be quoted from 86.50 to $7.00. Fair to good from $6.00 to $6.60, and the commoner grade from $6.00 down. The cow market waa also in good snap the first of the week, but toward the close the tendency on the part of packers was to pound the market. The very beat grade, such as sell from $5.50 to $6.00, are prob ably not much ot any lower, but there ar very few ot tnat class or cows ana neirers being offered. Tha sreneral run of cattle ar probably lfi!5c lower for the week, and common stun: in some cases oia woroe than that. On Friday In particular unde sirable grades were very hard to move. The bulk ot th cows are selling from $8 60 to $5.00. The heat vradea of bull ar light around steady for the week, but others ar a little lower. Tne same is true oi stags. inoice veal calve will still bring $7.0u, but any thing that Is a little lacking In quality 1 lower for the week. The etocker and feeder trad haa not been nartlcuiarly good this week. Toward the close of the week. In particular, the demand waa very light, ana it was inougni tnai the lack of rain waa tha cause. Operator a a rule were looaing lor an improve ment In th demand after the rain of Friday. Th very Deal neavyweigni leeaer are pernape noi mucn lower ior tne wee, but all others can aareiy do quoiea iMQjaio lower. It takes a cholc bunch ot caul now to bring around $6.00, HOOS There was a moderate run of hogs here today, but as other markets wer quoted lower prices at this point eased off about a nickel. Packers started In and tried to buy them 64iloc lower, but sellers held on for more money and th markot Anally settled down to lust about a nickel decline. Th heavyweight sold largely from $7.00 to $7.10 and prim hog want from $7.16 to 17.86. Th medium weight old front $6 90 to $7 00 And th HghUr load old from $4 90 down. The close of th market was not o much different from lb first part, xeept that th lighter loads wer left, which mad th do seem alow and weak. Trading was not actlv t any time, but a there wer comparatively fear hogs on BSls everything was disposed of la good eon. As will b seen from th tabl abov r celpu for th week ar fully a beavy as they wer last week, but thr la a big decrease aa compared with th sam week of last year. Tne tendency of prices wu downward th first part of th week In spit of th light receipts, but on Thursday and Friday prlcea Improved and th Friday market was th highest of th year. Th decline on Saturday carried th maxkai nearly back to where It waa at th do of laat woe a. nepreneniauv aiei 41,1.1 13,618 tU.(9 15. S( W SH.tKv) J,V,V 41,911 16.
