CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE
Jobbers Ecport the Volume of Buiineti for
Maj Beat on Eecord.
SHARP ADVANCE IN PRICE OF TEA
Drr Gooala Market Firm aad Stocks of
rail iai Winter Good of De
sirable Gradea Ara I.lht In
Maaafctarers' llanda.
In ehecklnn up their account for the
month of May lural Jobbers and manufac
turera In nenrly all cases find that they
old mure goods than ever before during
the same month. That applies not only to
current business but to future business as
well, so that Omaha Jobbers are well
r leased with existing conditions. The fact
hat trade la so heavy In the fare of the
high prices ruling on practically all classes
Of goods is considered good evidence of
the fact that people have money and are
not afraid to spend It. The rains of last
week, which vllted a large part of the
territory tributary to this market, made
avery one more confident than ever re-
fardlng future bulneas, so that prepara
lons tor fall and winter trade will be
pushed even more vigorously than In the
past. Taking everything Into considera
tion, wholesalers say that more favorable
conditions couvi not well be Imagined
than those existing at the present time.
Unless something happens to change the
situation it Is predicted that the amount
Of goods shipped from Omaha this fall will
be far In excess of last year or of any other
year.
80 far aa the markets are concerned
there have been only a few Important
changes during the week under review.
The same firmness on practically all lines
that has been ruling for some time past Is
till noticeable and It may be safely said
that the general tendency of values Is up
ward rather thnn downward. The demand
In a great many cases is in excess of the
supply and as long as that Is the case
trong markets must be experienced.
Collections are also reported as being In
xceptlonally good condition. Retail trade
Was, of course, a little slow early in the
spring, but now business In the country is
rushing, so that dealers are able to meet
their bills with considerable promptness.
Bnarar Advanced five l'ulnts.
Wholesale grocers report business for last
Week as being exceptionally heavy and In
fact some of them say It was the busiest
week of the year to date. ' The market
continues In a good, healthy condition and
a few line have been advanced. The sugar
market is quoted very strong and active.
Vt)n Friday an advance of five points took
jilace on sou grades, and, owing to the
heavy consumption, higher prices are pre
dicted on all lines In the near future.
Cablegrams were received last week by
loral housea from Japan and China to the
effect that opening prices on the new crop
of tea are considerably higher than they
were a year ago. It la claimed that a
'heavy frost In Japan during the month of
April damaged the crop 30 per cent and
as a result teas are now costing In Japan
'Jkjjtc per pouud more than they were a year
go at this time. In China the market
opened 3u per cent higher than it did a
year ago.
In farinaceous goods the only change of
Importance is an advance In oatmeal
amounting to 25c per barrel and cases
have advanced from 10c to 20c per case.
Cheese took a drop last week, owing to
the Increased make. Factories are now
able to work full time and as pastures
re In excellent condition all over the
country lower prices In the near future
re being predicted.
Owing to the short supply, evaporated
apples are quoted a little higher than they
were a week ago. Prunes are also very
firm and especially Is that true of the
larger slses, which are suld to be well
cleaned up on the coast.
There has been no particular change In
canned goods, but at the same time
tomatoes are constantly firming up and
forks are now exceedingly light.
Other staple lines handled by Omaha
jobbers are selling In about the same
notches they were a week ago.
Drr Goods Active and Steady.
There has been no change In the ruling
quotations on staple dry goods during the
past week. Manufacturers, however, claim
that they are well sold upon both cotton
and woolen goods for fall. Omaha Jobbers
ay they have good reason for believing
that such Is the case, owing to the diffi
culty they are having in placing orders
lor winter stuff. Not only are manufactur
ers In the east experiencing a good de
mand, but Omaha Jobbers as well are
doing a rushing business In fall goods.
The distribution extends to all lines, In
cluding flannels, both cotton and wool,
domets, blankets, underwear, hosiery, duck
lined goods, cloaks and dress goods. In
fact It is claimed that orders are twice as
large and more numerous than ever before.
The cloak trade is fast coming to the
front in Omaha, as one house claims to
have sold as many cloaks so far this
season as were sold all last year. Every
one seems to be figuring that future busi
ness is going to continue far In excess of
last year, owing to the exceptionally fine
outlook for bountiful crops.
Current business Is o)ro of very satis
factory proportions. Sales last week
showed a big Improvement over the previ
ous three weeks and a large number of
buyers arrived on the market. They all
h'd.,80od.w5r1. to..,ii. regarding the
condition of trade in the country and said
their stocks were going to pieces at a rapid
rate,
No Change lu Hardware.
There have been no new developments
Jn the hardware market since last report.
Juices on all lines are good and firm, but
tneta have been no quotable changes
worthy, of mention. The demand Is hold
ing up in good shape for all classes of
seasonable (foods and In fact the volume of
business being tra unacted is considerably
In excess of the same time of last year.
There does not aeem to be any particular
feature to the trade, but simply a good,
healthy demand all along the line. There
Is considerable building being done In the
country, which of course creates a big
u iuiiudii umieriui. jLverytning
at present points to a continued heavy
.demand and Jobbers are preparing to sell
more fall goods than ever before.
Shoe Men Well Pleased.
Leather goods men also have a good
yor,d ttLJ"ay regarding the condition of
.trade. Their traveling men are meeting
with great success In landing fall orders,
owing to the good condition of crops, and
each week Jobbers notice a big gain over
the corresponding week of last year In the
mount of goods aold. Merchants who
earlier In the season refused to place their
SI111"". tor hlpment are now buying
liberally, so that traveling men are taking
orders as rapidly as they can get to their
customers. There Is no longer anv doubt
to the minds of wholesalers but what this
will be the banner year In the shoe busi
ness of Omaha.
Hlslng up orders are also on the Increase
and every hot day makes the demand In
the country more brisk. Retailers' stocks
are said to be well broken and the wsy
suing up orders are coming In would In
dicate that such Is the cass.
Fruits and Hroaore,
The demand for fruits and vegetables
last week was almost unprecedented. The
fact thst prices are extremely high for
practically all kinds of eatables did not
seem to curtail the demand to an appre
ciable amount. The market la now sup
plied with home grown strawberries and
prices are considerably higher than they
WI.5 week ago. Good stork Is now held
a,t 14.00 to H Bo per case. Lemons also took
a Jump and are now selling at 14.50 to Jo.uu
per case. Home grown cherries sre be
ginning to come forward, but they are
Very scarce. It Is claimed that there will
only be about one-fourth of a cron of
early cherries. The later varieties, how
ever,, will be abundant If nothing happens
to damage the crop .
The only old potatoes left on the market
are northern stock, which la down to stuji
oo per bushel. New potatoes, however,
are now In good supply and are selling at
11. (Mi 1.20 per bushel. The prices quoted
i; the various other kinds of vegetables
Will be found in another column.
The egg market Is a trifle lower than It
was a week ago, owing to the Urge num
ber of lots now coming forward. Butter
however, has held good and firm in spite
of the fact that receipts have been on the
increase. The demand la apparently large
enough to take all that Is coming forward
There has not been much change In
poultry. Receipts are fairly libera" but
there has been A ready outlet for all that
has arrived.

Excessive Wet Weather Maintain! Lead
for Cereal Bulls.
MARKET DULL, BUT GRAINS ARE STRONG
Bad Weather Announced by Foreign
Cables and Wheat and Cora Go
Ip, While Oata Slip Dorr a
After Initial Bulge.
CHICAGO, June 7. Excessive rains were
the bugaboo of the bears today, but this
session the cables also told of the same
bad weather abroad. In consequence a
little support In a dull market was suffi
cient to bring strength, and July wheat
closed Sc up. July corn Wuc higher and
July oats a shade down. Provision closed
a shade to 2u up.
Wheat toon a strong grip on the market
early and worked its prlceB somewhat
higher on cables and fears of wet harvests.
In France the harvest Is almost due and
prices are advancing on an old precedent
that In lormer times wet weather, such as
'Jjey are having, hurt the crop much. Here
friers were plenty bearish Influences, but
additional rains after the already heavy
downpours started covering and a good
support. Bulls argued that the present
low prices could be Justified only in as
sumption that the yield was to be excep
tionally large. There .was very little sell
ing pressure on the market early and good
buying came from commission houses.
July opened Vftc higher at 72(J7J4sC and
sold at 72c. Gradually the support iu the
larger Interests were withdrawn. The re
port that cutting was going on In the
southern part of this state and that the
wheat would be on the market within a
week led to some selling and July slid off
to ilii'72c. After that the market haggled
narrowly, with a small upturn on liberal
seaboard clearances of wheat and flour,
which amounted to 620,000 bushels. The
close was firm. July q up at 72c. Re
ceipts. 7 cars. 1 contract; Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 244 cars, a total of 251,
against 392 for two days last week and 4.19
a year ago. Primary receipts were 375,oo0
bUHhels, compared to 470.000 bushels last
year. The seaboard reported 14 loads taken
for export.
Corn was dull but firm. The wheat
strength, together with the strong cables,
Influenced an upturn, as did the talk of
poor cultivation of the growing plant be
cause of the wet fields. The leading bulls
gave some small support and St. Louis
bought July fairly well. Prices held well,
but there was decided feeling that with
the possibilities of a 2,500,O00,0no-bushel har
vest prices were too high. Most of the
crowd was guessing at the attitude of the
leaders. July sold between 63Hc and 62'Ac
and closed firm, fctto up at 63c Re
ceipts, 337 cars.
Corn took some of the strength out of
oats. Influences favored the bulls. Re
ceipts also are light, with a small per
centage of contract stuff. Today commis
sion house business was fair and July
opened c higher at 39c and sold to SOTic
7he trade was active, covering short ac
counts brought Btrength. but buyers of
new July around 36c realized their profits
and after the bulge prices eased on ab
sence of support. July closed barely
steady, a shade down a t 39fc39Uc Re
ceipts were 112 cars.
Provisions had a dull and artificial trade.
The hog market was higher on a smaller
run of hogs. This gave the packers u rea
son for manipulating a little higher prices
for the purpose of unloading on the out
sider. Conservative traders say prices of
all provisions are too high, particularly In
the light of Improved receipts of hogs of
better quality. January products are now
selling on the basis that hogs wlfl cost $6 00
(i4.2n. Outsiders, understanding the manner
In which packers are manlpuatlng the mar
ket, arc staying out. July pork closed
steady, 2c up at $17.42; July lard, a
shade higher at $10.26al0.27( and July ribs
2c higher at $10.17.

XKW YORK STOCKS AD BONDS.
Last Market of Week Idle and Fluc
tuations but Fractional.
NEW YORK, June 7.-There was no
change In the several repressive Influences
upon speculation in stocks today and the
market was practically Idle in consequence.
The policy of the large Interests In stocks
seems to be defined as one of pernicious
holding until the underlying strength of
the situation emerges from the present ob
scuring influences. Meantime the profes
sional speculators are apparently unwilling
to venture upon a campaign against values.
Today some influence upon sentiment was
exerted by the strike of the soft coal
miners In West Virginia, by the increasing
difficulty of protecting the anthracite
mines from flooding by keeping the pumps
going with makeshift labor, by reports of
too abundant rains In the corn belt and by
the failure of the bank statement to show
any recuperation in the percentage of re
serve against deposits.
While these facts had the effect of abso
lutely killing any demand for stocks the
selling Induced was of quite inslgnlllcant
proportions and the light play between
professional room traders, whose attend
ance at the board was reduced to a mini
mum, was all that made- the day's market.
There was a lazy and halting advance of
a large fraction In Canadian Pacific. Other
wise not a single leader of stocks that
varied more than a small fraction. The
small decrease In loans by the banks was
insufficient to offset the decline of over
$1,000,000 of cash In reserves, leaving the
surplus slightly lower than last week.
There has been some liquidation of spec
ulative bond issues this week and an ir
regular tone In that department of the
market. United States 2b, registered; the
3s and new 4s declined , and the 2s, cou
pon, and old 4s per cent from the clos
ing call of last week.

CATTLE There were about 500 head of
cattle in the yards this morning, but only
a few bunches were for sale, tne bulk of
tne onenngs oeing ieeaers on tneir way
farther north. There was no material
change In the market today from yester
day. The receipts for the week have been
quite liberal, as a good gain was made over
last week, but as compared with the same
week of last year there Is not much change.
A good share of the offerings ail the week
consisted of beef steers, and the quality
was fairly good. It was noticeable, how
ever, that buyers discriminated against the
half-fat and common steers to a marked
degree. The cattle that showed both flesh
and quality were in good demand most
all the week, and as compared with the
close of last week the market Is Bteady to
strong. Handy weight cattle seemed to
be in greater request than the very heavy
cattle. The best gradea are quotable from
$7.00 to $7.45. The part fat cattle, though,
have been slow sale and prices have gone
downward at a rapid rate and are now
25g50c lower than they were a week to ten
days ago. Packers claim that the part fat
cattle do not kill out at all well, and In
fact cost them about as much on the hoof
as the kinds that they buy from $7.00 up.
The verv best com and nelfers nave
also held up in fairly good shape, but still
they are a little lower man tney were a
week ago. The commoner the quality,
though, the greater has been the break
In price. The medium to common kinds
are fully 60c lower than they were a week
or ten days ago, and the market on such
kinds Is very slow, wnen it comes to tne
graBsy cows the market Is still worse, and
In fact there is no established market value
on such kinds. Packers do not want them
and it Is largely a matter of luck what
price a seller can get for them. The rea
son Is that they do not kill out as well
as they will a little later In the season.
Choice fat bulls have held up In good
shape all the week, but the medium and
common kinds are considerably lower.
KVerier hulls have dec lned zora'soe. veat
calves have held about steady, and so, also,
have fctags.
The best feeders are not very much lower
than they weie a week ago, but such klnde
are very scarce. The Blockers, and espe
cially those lacking In quality, are a good
deal lower and the demand for them la
limited. In a good many cases such kinds
are selling 2r5oc lower than they were ten
day ago. Representative sales:

noriB-Tii.n miai another liberal run of
hogs here today, so that the receipts for
the week have been very heavy. Not only
Is there a big Increase over the supply for
the lat several days, but also over the
same week of last year. The demand, how
ever, seems to be equal to the receipts.
The market opened mis morning imny
active and strong to a nickel higher than
yesterday. Trading was quite active and It
was not long before the bulk of the offer
ings was out of first hands. Along toward
1 h.. last end the market slowed UP and the
advance was practically all lost. The close
was slow and weaa. ine ouia 01 me gouu
weight hogs sold from $7.26 to $7 35 and as
high as $7.40 was paid for prime hogs.
The medium weights sold largely from
$7.15 to $7.25 and the lighter load went
from $7.15 down.
Although the run of hogs has been heavy
all the week the tendency of prices has
been upward. In fact prices reached the
highest point of the year this week and
the week closed with an advance over the
close of last week of 7Vl'aioc. Rcpresenta-

on sale for the last two days, so that It la
difficult to toll much about this market.
The supply all the week has been light and
a decrease is noted both as compared
with last week and also with the same
