22 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, JUNE 1, 1902. CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Volum of BniineH for vth Week ' Very Ratiifactory in AIL Lines. esaasBBSBWjaat PRICES FIRM, BUT GENERALLY UNCHANGED! Dry Gaods Trade Active and Big lae nrovemeat Over Last Year Koted la the Class of Goods, Row ' Betas; Purchased. f.'" Although Omaha Jobbers and manufac turers closed down on Friday of laat week, till the total volume of business for the week wnn of very satisfactory proportion. There wu an active demand for all kinds of seasonable goods, and at the same time advance ordera for fall llnea continued to roll In at a very rapid rate. Traveling men who returned to the city at the close of the week Rave very glowing arcounta of the conditions existing out through the country. They say that In practically all sections crops are In elegant shape and (hat as a result retailers are In the best of spirits. Farmers seem Inclined to spend their money, which makee retail trade brisk, and stocks of all kinds are going to pieces very rapidly. Jobbers say their alxlng-up orders have Increased materially within the last few days, and it begins to look as though their re-order business .would go far ahead of their expectations. AH that retailers and wholesalers ask Is that the outlook for crops continue good, and as long as that is the case they say .they will have no cause for complaint re garding the condition of trade. , There is very little to be said relative Ho the general market, aa there have been 'tew changes of Importance. Prices on practically all lines are firm, the same as lihey have been for some time, but there seema to be little or no inclination to ad vance prices. Manufacturers apparently ; prefer to leave quotations where they are irather than to put them up and take the .chancea of a decline. Ho far aa can be learned manufacturers are finding a ready market for all the gooda they can turn out. and In fact in a great many llnea thy are so far behind with their ordera that lit would take them many months to catch up even though they accepted no more business. That being the case, the outlook for continued firm markets may be said to be very encouraging. Dry Goods Active aad Steady. rh drv roods market continues very live in all lines but there have been no hanma nf Imnnrtanca In Quotations during !ie last several days. Cotton goods retain leir strength and there Is the same ecar tftv of many popular lines that haa been jaevlously mentioned. Jobbers who have rtm short find It next to impossible to get iganufacturers to accept duplicate ordera, and aa a result they are advising their customers to place their orders aa early as possible while stocks are complete. Locally he condition of the dry gooda trade is above reproach. Quite a few buy ers were on the market during the week and they all spoke very favorably of the demand they are experiencing In the coun try. At the present rate they say they will easily break all previous records, aa people are not only buying a better class of goods than ever before, but are also buying more than . usual. For example, they call attention to the fact that a few years ago the demand for dress goods waa confined mostly to the cheaper lines, but row nothing seems to be too good and they carry heavy stocks of goods that a few years ago they could not sell a yard of because people would not pay the prlcea. Retailers as a rule are counting on good crops this year, and for that reason their fall orders run to the high-priced gooda to a greater extent even than they did In spring and summer lines. Caa't Get the Oooda. Hardware men are still talking about the trouble they have to get the kind of gooda they want and to get them at the proper time. Instead of catching up with their orders manufacturers seem to be getting farther and farther behind with their work and the ivay it looks now Job bers say they will soon have to place their orders twoyears In advance to be sure of getting them filled. When such conditions exist there Is, of course, a great deal of annoyance' not only to wholesalers but to retailers and consumers as well. The market Is in practically the same condition It was a week ago. There have been no important changea In either direc tion, and the general market may be ssld rnA a vA Arm Rn Inn mm the nreaent scarcity of goods continues there can, of course, be no weakness, and as It looks as though there would be no relief for many months to come the prospects for continued flrrn markets are considered very good. Good Demand for Leather Gooda. Boot and shoe Jobbers are also enjoying a very lively trade and report business as being much heavier than It was a year ago. That applies to both Immediate and future business. The last week-or ten days there has been a decided Improvement in the number of alxlng-up ordera received, so it is evident that trade in the country la good and that stocks are going to pieces, rapidly. It Is noticeable that tha re orders run largely to low shoes In both men's and women s lines. The demand for tan ahoea la extremely light, .and. In fact, tt Is said that only those who for some reason or other are very partial to tan hoes are buying them. The low shoe is all the go this season and especially those made out of patent kid or patent calf. Fall ordera also continue to go ahead of last year. Each week the confidence In the corn crop seems to Improve, which brings In a new batch of fall ordera. Deal ers who held off the first time traveling men called on them are now placing their orders, as they have no excuse for longer delay. Every shoe house In the city re ports a big Increase over last year In ad vance business, and they expect to make the. increase still greater before the end of the season. ' Frnlts and Produce. Nothing very startling took place last week In the fruit and produce district. The demand was good for all aeaaonable llnea and In fact was about the beat of the year to date. Fresh fruits and vegetables have been getting cheaper right aloqg and con sumption Increasing and at no time was .that more noticeable than last week. In another column will be found the quota tions ruling on the different lines that are now In the market. Strawberries arrived freely laat week and the quality was exceptionally gooff, as they came from nearby points. They are now .selling at S3 to 13.26 per case. Florida pine : apples and lemons are In good demand, .though a UUle warmer weather Is needed .to make lemons move very rapidly. Egga are still moving back and forth .from 1H to 14A4 cents. The quality of the stock now coming forward shows slgna of summer weather, and commission men re Dort the losa In some cases quite large. Roth butter and. poultry have eased off a little aa compared with a week ago. The 'present quotations will be found In another column. Advance la Sngcar Predicted. Wholesale grocers report the volume of business for the past week as being ac tive and fully up to the previous weak. The demand Is general for all lines of Seasonable goods and the prospects for the future are considered very favorable. The market has not changed very much since last report, but at the same time ! there are a tew changea worthy of men tion. Refined augar I quoted tha same as It was a week ago, but the proapecta are very favorable for an advance In the near future Refiners aay that they cannot guarantee shipments of refined sugar until after the present coal strike Is settled. ill... un I.WI.OTB ... uiuio tur me strike being prolonged for some, length of time, the market is naturally In a very Arm condition. Canned goods are unchanged so far as quotations go, but the demand la very lib eral for this time of the year and soot stocks are getting well cleaned up. The cheese market haa eased off a little, owing to tha supply beiug a little more liberal. , Syrups are reported a trifle stronger and starch haa sleo advanced to soma .vt.ni and still higher prices are predicted for - me near future, in tact it may be said that all corn producta are firming up. Dried fruits are selling In Just about the same notches they have been for some time past, but the market on practically all lines la good and firm. Other staples handled by local Jobbers are ateady with me a,uuimiviie vi a wmvm. ago. OMAHA WHOLESALE MARKETS. Condition, of Trade aad Qaotatlona on Staple and Pane?

OTHER CEREAL VALUES CLOSE LOWER Corn Contlnnee Downward and Wheat, Thnigk Firm for a Time, Wenkeaa with Cora Break Provisions Tako Vstnrn. CHTCAQO. May 31. Aslds from the ter mination of the successful corner in May oate and the accompanying flurry and higher prices In that pit, speculation In grains today was again under bear domi nance. For the third successive day corn showed marked weakness and Influenced the other grain markets. July wheat closed vc lower, July corn VS'fco down and July oats 4c down. May oats closed 6N0 higher than Thursday and at the top price on record. Provisions closed firm and 6c to 7HG10C tip. Wheat for some time fairly held Its own. The opening Influences were of a strength ening nature and prices made some fair advances. Cables were firm and Argen tine shipments showed a markedly bullish decrease at 332.000 bushels, compared to l.l.'VO.OuO bushels a year ago. The prospects are that Monday's world s shipments will be small. These Incentive started July wheat a shade to VySc up at 72472Hc and sold at 7272,0. The buying that resulted In this firmness soon gave way, horn-ever, to a dull scalping market and a gradual decline ensued. Crop prospects and weather were favorable, counteracting the bullish newa and inducing the local crowd to sell short. Advices southwest, however, told of too much rain. Aa corn broke there waa further selling and July wheat broke to 71c, closing easy and Vc down at 724c. Local receipts were 21 cars, 1 of contract grade; Minneapolis and Du Itith reported 371 cars for the two days, making a total for the three points of 392 cars, against 132 one day last week and 418 cars two days a year ago. Primary receipts were 687.000 bushels, compared to 476,000 bushels last year. Seaboard clear ances In wheat and flour equaled 351,000 bushels. Corn continued Its down turn today and completed a slump of lHo since the first of the week. The opening trades were at a fair advance on Arm cables and small country acceptances. It waa the Increased receipts and the fear of a continued heavy movement from tho farmers toward this market that pushed prices down. Receipts were heavy at 412 cars for two days and the estimate for Monday was especially bearish at 600 cars. There was some short selling on crop prospects and the generally bearish sentiment, but the decline came mainly from the absence of support. Most of the session business was active, but of a local nature. July opened a shade lower at 624o to 62V4c and sold up on a little support by the leading bull house to 624c. Persistent bear argument brought a slump to 614iS61Hc and July closed weak and fc(g c down at 61c. The termination of James 'A. Patten's successful corner In May oats brought a picturesque close to the business of the week and the month. For several months the May deal has dominated the oats pit to the exclusion of any very active busi ness In other futures. Exceptionally clever manipulation by Mr. Patten secured for him a line of long stuff at about 37c. amounting to between 10,000,000 and 12,000, 000 bu. Prices were pushed up methodically from weeg to weeK on the corn scarcity and held at a uniformly high price until May 1, when Mr. Patten began buying the cash stuff and selling It out at a rood advantage, but at tempting figures. Local stocka were practically depleted, deliveries were taken In by the shorts who wanted to deliver, but the price hardly wavered from Its strong position. Many shorts settled personally with the big bull without going into the pit. Today Patten himself bid prices- up, nobody dared sell what they would have to buy from him and the result was an advance todav of io over yesterday and a tightly cornered close at me top prices on record lor May, 49Vc. Profits for the leader are estimated at a little short of $1,000,000. The trade In other oats was dull . and unevenfful. Crop 'prospects are good and with corn weakening oats sold off, July closing weak and He down at 36c. Receipts were liberal at zsi cars. Provisions asaln felt the serious saner of the strike of the packing house team sters at the yards. Curtailments of ship ments or live stock has kept hog prices up fairly well, but the crowd was afraid to do much business. The firm hog situa tion waa augmented by a little packers' support and prices closed firm, July pork 6c ud at $17.10. Julv lard 6c higher at $10.20, July 'ribs 7V10o higher at $8.72H 9.

W 1 CATTLE As la generally the case on a Saturday, there were not enough cattle offered to make a test of the market. For the week receipts have been light, a de crease being noted both aa compared with laat week and also with the same week of last year. The table above will show the exact figures, not only for the week, but also for the month, with comparisons with previous years. The market on beef steers for the week has been In fairly good shape, and de sirable offerings have sold at very satis factory prices. Tuesday was about the high day of the week, and ever since that time the tendency of prices haa been down ward. Owing to the choice cattle that ar rived the top prices did not show the downward tendency. As compared with tne close of last week the choice cattle are not Very much lower, and a dime would safely cover the decline. Themedium class 01 cattle, nowever, ana especially those that are not very fat, are 16tfi20c lower than they were a week ago. On Wednes day of this week as high as $7.40 was paid for a bunch of cattle, which was the high est price ever paid on the South Omaha market outside of show cattle. In Chicago prlcea broke In bad shape, as the decline there Is put at 26&40c, as compared with the high time of last week. The cow market has not held up In as good shape as the steers. The best fat cows are very little lower than they were a week ago, and prime heifers have sold as high as $6.10. But aside from the choice fat cows and heifers the general market Is right around 26c lower for the week. Packers discriminate against the e-nss cows to a marked degree and the cows that show grass sell a good deal below the dry lot cows of the same quality and flesh. In Chicago cows sre Quoted from $1 to $1.25 per hundred lower than they were at tne nign time last week. The general run of bulls Is also about a quarter lower than they were a week ago. Choice fat bulls havs not Buffered to any extent, as sales have been made as high ? AjJ u . C?

The tendency of prices Is also downward on stockers snd feeders. The choicer f rrades are probably net more than loyi5o ower for the week, but the light and commoner kinds are 16i26o lower.

The prlcea paid today were no better than those paid on the last end of the market yester day, but they were strouger than yester day b average. Trading was not active at any time, but still most everything was disposed of In good season, aa the offerings were rather light. Out of the 103 cars on sale 16 cars were consigned direct to a local psrker, so that the number on sile was small even for a Saturday. The bulk of the good weight hogs sold from $7.16 to $7.30 and the medium weights went from $7.06 to $7.16. while the lighter loads sold from $7.06 down.
