CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE
Generis Buiinese Situation Greatly
proted by Timely Eaini.
Im-
MARKETS ARE FIRM, BUT FEW CHANGES

Prloa of lot ton.
The rains of last wk, whlrh visited
praetlchy all sectlnns of the country trib
utary to this mrk't, undoubtedly had a
very btnctii lal effect upon nil Kinds of
business, both wholesale and retail. There
was r.o mistaking the fuel that retailers
were beginning to g't irvniin before the"
rains end Fp-dally was ihat true of country
retailer. It la stated th.it a are t many of
them wrote to uie:r Juiiher tellin th"tn
that If they II1 rft have rain within the
next few day they would cancel their
orders, but the rain came, go that none of
the orders were canceled and now confi
dence In future business la restored and
every one la looking forward to n very
successful season. In fart, Jobbers and
manufacturers in practically all lines re
port their advance orders as being much
better than they were a year ago at this
time and also larger than they anticipated.
At once business is, of courne, quiet In a
areat many lines, owing to the tact that
this Is rather a between sensnn period. In
a short time, however, It In expected that
sortlng-up orders will come rolling In from
all directions and If conditions remain
favorable local jobbers expect to do a big
re-order huniness.
Bo far as the markets are concerned
there have been almost no changes of lm-
fortance during the week under review,
'radically all Urns are In a good. Btrong
position, but quotable chrinri s are very
rare There Is a strong undertone to the
general market ami so f-.r as can be told
all Indications scm favorable for con
tinued lirm, active markets.
Imar May Go Higher.
The sugar market Is In very much the
lime poslilon It was a week ago. That la,
prices are being held very llrm and as the
consumption Is Incrcasinir at a rapid rate
higher prices in the near future are halng
freely predicted. KaWs are also firmly
held at the recent advance.
There has been no (iiiotable change In
the coffee market since last report, but the
feeling Is weak and the prices of a Week
ago are barely maintained.
In dried fruits, evaporated apples ad
vanced rharply and in fact It Is claimed
that present prices are almost prohibitory.
This sharp advance has been brought
about by the scarcity of apot stock and it
Is thought thot there will be no decline
until the new crop arrives on the market.
The market on rolled oats eased off the
first of the week somewhat, but toward
the close It firmed tip so that the loss wng
Just about regained. Other lliier, of fari
naceous goods are In Just about the same
po"Mlon they were a week Hgo.
r'lekles are beginning to attract con
siderable attention owing to the fact that
stocks are well cleaned up and the market
has advanced sharply. There seems to be
no doubt In the minds of those best posted
but what still higher prices will prevail
before the new crops appear.
There Is no change to report In the
canned pond situation, as all lines are
being held firm at the quotations of a week
ago.
In regard to the condition of trnde local
grocery Jobbers say there Is a good, active
demand for practically all lines and that
there continues to be a good Increase over
the corresponding time of Inst year.
House Trade Very Quiet.
House trade was very quiet last week,
with local dry goods Jobbers and In fact
It was the dullest week of the year to date,
so far as current business was concerned.
7'rade In fall goods, however, la progress
ng In very satisfactory manner and It Is
stated In some quarters that aa many
goods for future shipment have been aold
up to data aa were aold last year up to
July 1. The distribution has extended to all
ltnoa and Includes blanket, flannels, un
derwear, domets, duck-lined goods, hosiery
lind dreas goods.
According to authentic reports received
from the country retailers as a rule are
experiencing a .very fair demand. The few
hot days have served aa a reminder that
summer weather la close at hand, so that
people are making their purchases In spite
of the fact that there has hardly been as
much warm weatner aa usual up -to this
time. Jobhera are not looking for any
(treat amount of re-order business thla
month, but they expect It to start In next
month.
There are no changes In market condi
tions to report, but cotton goods retain
their strength and It la feared there will
he a shortage of many popular lines be
fore the end of the season. Mills do not
seem to be piling up their goods and show
no Inclination to make more than are ac
tually sold because of the high price of
cotton.
Hardware Market Steady
All lines of hardware are In Just about
the same poslilon they were m week ago.
There Is a good, firm feeling and all In
dications point to a. continued llrm, ac
tive market. There are of course a few
minor fluctuations, but none of enough
Importance to be worthy of mention.
Trade la moving along at a very satis
factory rate, but uslde from the diffi
culty being experienced In getting season
able goods there la no special feature to
the trade. Screen doors, wire cloth, poul
try netting and all Buch lines are scarce
and It la not so much a queetlon of price
aa It la of getting the goods at any figure.
The demand for all seasonable lines has
been unusually heavy for the last aeveral
days and the amount of goods being
Shipped out of Omaha Is far In excess of
last year or of any prevloua year.
Good Demand for Leather Goods.
Boot and shoe Jobbers are also enjoy
ing a nice trrfde. Quite a few merchants
, have been In the city and have placed
nice ordera for thla time of the year.
Trade In the country la not reported as
being exactly rushing, but at the same
time there la a good steady demand and
the outlook for the future Is very en
couraging. The merchunts who have been
in the city this week all seem to be in
the best nf aplrits and Judging from the
(rise of their orders they are preparing for
a good business through the spring and
summer. tiw shoes continue to sell
freely, and it la now certain that more
low shoes will be aold thla year than ever
before.
Fall orders are still being received and
all the local houses report that they now
have more advance orders on hand than
they had at this time last year. When It la
remembered that last year was a record-
breaker It la seen that this year's big in
crease Is ali the more remarkable.
The rubber goods trade of course Is
ery light. There have been several good
rains, but it requires a prolonged rain to
bring rubber goods Into demand. About
11 Jobbers hope for now is that retailers
will sell out what stock they have on hand
o they will be ready to buy new stocks
Mother season.
Fralts aad Trodac.
Trade with fruit Jobbers has shown con
aiders bio Improvement during the last
week. There has been a much better sup
ply of strawberries, as well as of fresh
vegetables, than at any previous time
this aeason. Although there was a liberal
demand prices 'took quite a drop, aa will
be seen from the quotations given In an
other column. 1 he strawberries that are
now romlng forward ure from northern Ar
kansas and are cons dered much better
than the stock that was on the market
C few days ago. The berrlea are now in
good shipping condition and are Quoted
at H l t per z-t-quari case.
The egg market wat. hardly aa high on
the average last week as It was the week
before, but that Is perhaps due to some
extent to the fact that the stock Is in
hardly as good condition. Poultry has
been scarce all the week and prices have
been currcvpondlugly high. Mutter eased
off to some extent, the Urst of the week,
but the feeling was a little firmer toward
the close of the week.

CHICAGO, May 10. Marked absence of
any selling pressure in grains and a con

Vhat showed good strength all session.
nseasonablv cold weather northwest,
with rains In sections and snows reported
In the Red River valley, flrfu cables, small
receipts and prospects of a fair decline In
the government crop report started prices
higher at the opening. Shorts covered
freely, but the principal factor was .the
absence of selling pressure, which showed
a marKei cnange in the sentiment 01 tne
pit. Commission houses bought to some
extent, but In the main the pit was very
quiet, waiting for the government report,
which had been delayed. There was a fulr
cajih business and shipping trade and July
opened at c to uc higher at tc to
4'i'if i4-tc. .Minneapolis reported sin n a
scarcity In the northwest that Interior
millers were buying stun to take baca 10
their mills. All told, the tone of the pit
was more bullish, laraelv because of the
weather, which is much too wet for further
spring seeding. Late liquidation took off
some of the gain, but July closed tirm, S
ruc higher, at m' 'n ,ft"ic. Receipts, 14
cars, 3 contract; Minneapolis ami utiiuin
reported ltyi cars, a total for tne tnree
points of 174 cars, against 2.X1 last week
and 2H3 a year ao. Primary receipts were
29.1,u bu., compared with 341,(' Inst year.
Seaboard clearances equalled 4D2.0O0 bu.
Corn was firmer to start witn ana mane
further gain during the courBe of Its
rather dull trading The very favorable
growing weather of the last week had
changed, much to the fears of the shorts.
The chief reason for the firmness, how
ever, was the ever present scarcity of
corn, notwithstanding the growth of pas
turage and the consequent curtailment of
the demand for dry feed. The cash de
mand was good and was a mainstay to
rices against the oulet speculation. 1 he
bull combination still bought stuff and led
the "tallers" to buy. But In general the
story of the market Is that of a feature
less day. Julv sold up to 62V4C, but liqui
dation took oft some of the gain late In the
session and July closed barely llrm, Vc
un. at 61Vc. Receipts. 87 cars.
A good cash demand and a scarcity or
offerings developed a better and a fair
trade in oats. There was noticeable all
sence of Belllr pressure that marked the
other pits. Shippers and commission houses
bought liberally. J ne wet, com weainer
helped the bullish sentiment along. July
sold up to 37'4c and closed firm, Vc up, at
c. Receipts were lno cars.
Provisions lost much of the strength
that marked yesterday a strong market.
.ocals liquidated liberally and the outsldo
sold to some extent. Packers, however,
were supporting prices and worked hard
against declines. Pork and lard were
higher early, but closed weaker. July pork
closed I2U0. down at $17.30, July lard 7H;C
lower at 110.20 and July ribs loc down at
$9.6L'4.
Estimated receipts Monday: Wheat, 15

SEW YORK STOCKS AND BONDS.
Strike Order and Poor Rank Showing
Kill Speealatlve Interret.
NEW YORK, May 10. The effect of the
strike order of the anthracite mine work
ers seemed to kill speculative Interest in
the stock market today. Prices went lower
In aome cases the volume of speculation
was trivial and was rather less In the coal
ers than In some other departments of the
list.
There were some large Individual selling
orders In Union Pacific, St. Paul and a
number of other prominent stocks In which
a speculative purty haa been active re
cently, seemingly on the assumption that
dividend Increase were to be looked for
In those Blocks. The unexpectedly poor
showing by the banks had much the same
effect on stocks, causing straggling de
clines on light selling.
The opinion was heard that the anthra
cite operators prefer a strike at this time,
If one Is Inevitable, rather than to ha- e
it come in the fall. This Is not consistent
with the confident sssurance that has been
professed In Wall street that there would
be no strike at all. The strike Is not
taken verv gravely even now, as Is shown
by the effect on the stocks of the coal
carrying roads. The losa of over Iti.noo.'ioO
In cash reserves compared with estimates
baaed on the known movements of cur
rency repotted by the banks themselves of
about l.'.ow.ouo, was rather vaguely at
tributed to "local movements." The loan
contraction of 12,224.5"0 showed but a
meager result of the stock market liquida
tion. There Is nothing to show how far
the much dlscunsed position of the trust
companies rray have been shown by the
week s events. With discounts In Paris
and Berlin below 2 per cent and time loans
for four and six months at 4 to 6 per cent
In New York and even higher for shorter
periods, the expansion In our loan obliga
tions In foreign money markets Is naturally
Increasing and represents a balance to ba
met at some future time.
The bond market has moved In sympathy
with stock? over a much nnrrower range.
United States 3s and the 4s declined I4 per
cent, as compared with the closing call of
last week.

the New York Stock exchange:

CATTL.E There were practically no cat
tle on sale today, so that a test of the
market was not made. The supply for the
week Bhows a light decrease as compared
with last week and a big decrease la noted
as compared with the same week of last
year.
Owing to the light receipts this week the
market has shown considerable Improve
ment. The tendency of prices has been
upward on all grades and such cattle as
are good enough to sell from $6.50 to $7.10
are as high as they have been at any time
this year. The grades that sell from $6 50
down are a little lower than the high time
but in most cases 10yi5c would cover the
decline. The commoner the quality the
less the advance has been thla week, so
that the very undeairable grades may be
more than 10lil5e lower than the nigh
time.
The cow market has also Improved this
week and the sams as noted above for
beef steers, the best grades are right close
to as high as they have been any time
this year. The modlum grades, though,
are probably 15fi25c lower than the high
time, and ennners and cutters are worse
than that. The demand ha been good all
the week for the better grades, but the
common kinds have been neglected and
bard to sell at satisfactory Drlces.
Hulls and stags have also advanced this
week In sympathy with the higher prices
ruling on steers and cows. Veal calves are
safely 26c higher for the week, but It now
takes a ivrlme calf to reach $6.25.
Stockers and feeders have been In rather
llaht supply all the week, and as the de
mand haa shown an Improvement since the
rains prices nave advanced nyizoc on ail
desirable grade. Even the medium kinds
are selllna considerably higher than they
were a week a&o, but of course the better
grades sell to the best advantage. Choice
stuff would now sell for $u.00 or better.
HOGS There was a moderate run of
hogs on the market today, there being a
Blight decrease from yesterday and from
Saturday of last week. The market rpened
with the bidding etror.s on good, heavy
hogs and steady on the light, trashy stuff.
The quality of the general run today was
much poorer than It has been for some
time, which will make the market look
weaker than It really was. Good hogs
were ready sellers this morning at strong
prices and ranged mostly from $7.15 to $7.2o!
Medium weights were In fair demand and

SHEEP As
usual
on a Saturday, there
were no sheep or lambs on ale, which
leaves the supply for the week about
10.000 head short of last year, but a trifle
heavier than for last week. The uuallty.
thouKh, has been rather common on tho
whole.
The market has brcn somewhat uneven
during the week, but still there have been
no very radical changes. Good stuff sold
readily all the week, but offerings answer
ing to that description were scarce. At
the close of the week the better grades
can be quoted Just about steady with the
close of last week. but. owing to the
limited demand for the common kinds, the
market on such grades is a little lower.
