Omaha Jobber end manufacturers report
th oondlilon of trad a being exception
tally good for thla eaaon of th year. Not
only la Immediate buetne In good ahape,
out th prospect for th future, they cay,
could not well be Improved upon. The
rain of th last two week have put crops
In elegant condition throughout the terri
tory tributary to thla market and not only
have th cropa been Improved, but th
rain hav also served to bring renewed
confidence Into all branches of trade. Re
taller out through the country say that
th Improvement In their business sine
the reins has been something phenomenal
and they attribute th Improvement to the
tact that farmers are now reasonably sure
of harvesting good crops. When retailers
are enjoying a nice patronage Jobbers and
manufacturers are of course also busy, so
that there I nothing to complain of In th
present situation.
The markets are also In very satisfactory
oondlilon. Prices are not fluctuating to
any extent, but, on th contrary, are being
held firm. A few lines are moving upward
to some extent owing to excessive con
sumption and light supply, but during th
last week there have been very few
change. Those who are posted on th
general . situation look lor nrm, neailny
znarasta tor soma time to come.
Heavier Deaaaa for Soger.
Aa Is always th case at this time of
year th demand for sugar la Increasing
oulte rabidly. There has, however, not
been much change in prices wlihln the last
week, ao far as refined sugars are con
cerned. Raws however, are a little firmer
and higher prices won la cause no surprise.
In can nea goods there has been little
change with the exception of a firmer feel
lng on tomatoes owing to the fact that
tocka are getting pretty well cleaned up.
The new pack of pineapples Is expected to
appear on th market within th next
thirty days.
There baa been no change sine last week
in the prices ruling on beans, but large
operators In Wisconsin and Michigan are
of the opinion that higher prices will rule
owing to th tsct that farmer will not
sell at present prices. Starch Is somewhat
higher than It was a week tin. oulte an
advance having taken place a tew days ago
on one ot tne leading well known brand,
ttardlnes, both domestic oils and mustard
are reported as getting , scarce at
packing point and prices In consequence
may advance at most any time, it Is
claimed that the spring catch was un
usually light and another heavy run will
not ut as piac oetora August,
The cheese market still retains Its
strength owing to the fact that th de
mand la In excess of the suddIv.
Th oofTee market Is In Just about th
same position It was a week ago. Eastern
markets ars reported as rather dull with
out material change In prices. One day th
market goes up or 10 point and the next
day the advance la lost, so there Is no
quotable change In either direction.
Th demand locally tor all line of sea
sonable groceries la reported ss being very
heavy for this time of the year and Job
bers ar making a good substantial in
crease over last year In the amount of
goods sold.
Dry Good Htuila Aboat Steady.
There was no quotable change of Impor
tance last week n the prices of leading
lines of dry aoods. Manv oeatrahla lln...
. of fall goods, however, are reported as be
ing scarce an 1 manufacturers In some
case are declining reorders. Thla Is par
ticularly true of popular-priced lines of
underwear, domestic and lower grades ot
blanket.
Advance business with local jobber con
tinue very large and their preparation
'lor fall ar being made In like proportion,
bales so fsr hav broken all previous rec
ords and have also gone far ahead of ex
pectations, immediate business Is also Im
proving owing to th heavy demand now
being experienced In th country by retail
era. AH lines of summer" goods are going
Into consumption at a rapid rat, so that
'retailers' stocks will soon be wall broken,
necessitating sortlng-up orders.
Hardware Active and Firm,
i Th demand for hardware continues very
aetlv . and local jobbers say they have
about all the business they can comlort
ably handle. There Is no special demand
ifor any one class of goods, but simply a
, good active trade on all kind of sea
sonable gooda. The only complaint that la
iinad 1 the scarcity f goons. Manu
facturers seem to be getting further and
farthor behind with thip nrri..r.. ih.
be re hav nearly given up the Idea of ever
.veins; eoie to gel goods at trie time they
want them and In sufficient Quantities lo
supply their customer without delay. It I
getting so that they have to place their
orders ao far In advance that It la abso
lutely Impossible to tall anything about
ihow much of any line of gooda will be
needed, and If they fall to order enmieh
thuy cannot buy more goods, as they have
need ot them. Buch conditions naturally
cause a great deal of dissatisfaction in all
branches of trade.

dry weather of luat season did not kill

CATTLE There were practically no cat
tle on sale today, which leave the re
ceipt for th week a trlfl In excess of
last week, and also of the same week of
last year. Th demand on the part of
local packer ha - been In good shape
nractlcallv all the week and uult a few
cattle were also boueht by outsld pack'
era, so that there was a ready outlet for
all tne desirable sraues enai were ouermi,
Beef steer made up th bulk of the
offering very day of th week and the
quality wa fully up to th average. The
demand wa best for th cattle that wer
wall fatted and such kinds Improved 10(0
16a during th week. Weight or quality
did not seem to make as much difference
aa the amount of fat. When it came to
the. part fatted cattle the market was
low and price on such grade are no
mora than steady for the week. The
kinds that have advanced the most ar
those thst were selling a week ego from
(6.60 to 86.90. Choice cattle are quotable
from 27.00 to 87.30, and they are also strong
for the week. The commission men are
calling the attention of their customers
to the fact tnat came snowing gras win
aoon be on the market and that they will
coma In competition with the half fat
cornfed. A widening range of prices 1
looked for from thl tlm on.
The better grade ot cows and heifers
were in good demand all last week and
price are a little higher. There wa corn
verv choice stuff offered, however, as 1
shown by the fact that as high 86.26
wa paid. Th better grade In a good
many case undoubtedly sold 10uc higher
than a week ago, but atlll th situation
can. perhaps beat be described by calling
th msraei strong ana active, i ne com
moner arades are If anything a Hale lowe
for the week. Cow and h el for ehowln
grass ar now beginning to come forward
na me lenacacy ui prices ib ui course
ownward. which mean that th common
dry lot cow and heifer must go down
with them. -
Desirable grade of bull commanded
strong prices all the week and so also did
stags, veal calves ar a lltti nigner
than they were a week ago. as choice
rade sold aa high aa 87.26.
'in auppiy oi stocaers ana reeuers was
very light all th week, and so also wa
th demand from th country. Oood
heavy feeder held about ateady. but th
ilaht tocker. and particularly those lack
lng In quality, wer alow sale and a lltti
lower, representative sales:

Wool Market.
SHEEP Two cara of sheen arrived this
morning, but they were consigned direct
to a local pucker, ao that there wa noth
ing with which to make a tet of the
market. The supply all the week ha been
exceedingly light, and lu fact ha been
the smallest In a rood many month. A
decrease of over llooo head I noted
comnared with the irnni week of last year.
As tnere nun been only aooui o.uw neau
on sale all the week It Is difficult to tell
much about the market. On some days
the feeling waa a little stronger than on
others, hot taking- tha week a a whole
the market is about steady on anyinmg
at all good. Chicago, however, Drose
badly tne last hair or tne week ana wetn
ers ar Ti noted 25?40c lower for the week
Lamb are Hoc lower in vnicago man tney
mi..ra tha flrat of the week. Old ewes and
common tuff of all kind are quoted all the
wav from 60c to 81 lower than a week a no.
Buch reports from Chicago naturally have
a bad effect upon thin market, and It Is
hard to tell what prices aesiraoie stun.
