TfTK OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, XOYEMI.EK 10. 1902. CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE j Volume of Easiness for Lin Week Showed Considerable Improvement TRICES FIRM, BUT GENERALLY UNCHANGED ill Klai, f Holiday Better Dmait Than t aaal and Jokhrr V Hit. M4r Prrpantka, for Bl Raa Thla W eek. There wan a noticeable Improvement last reek In the demand for practically all classes of seasonable goods. More mer chants wers in the city than at any tlroa nine Ak-Sr-Ben week and Jobbers report their orders aa being very liberal for this time of the year. With almost no excep tions tha viaittna- merchante reported retail trade out through the" country aa bvlng very ( DriSK. in, cooler weatner seems 10 nave created an active demand for heavyweight foods and aa a result retailers' storks have en going to pieces at a rapid rata. They look for a continued heavy demand throughout the winter, and aa a result their filling In ordera ao far have been heavier than uaual. Jobbers who handle holiday linea are now doing a rushing business. A good many of the merchante who were In the city last week came in especially In search of holi day gooda and their ordera were very en couraging to the wholesalers. Merchants ay that their customers have plenty of money thla year and that they will be lib eral In their hristmaa gifta and for that reason their stot ks mult be more complete and of better quality than ever before. There have been comparatively few mar ket fluctuations during the week under re view, but aa a general thing prices are in the same firm position they have been for some time past. A more healthy market could not well be Imagined. Chaaaje la Fa gar. There has been no change In the augar tnarket since the decline reported a week ago. Pub: ax la still selling on the Missouri river for much lees than the New York rVice would Justify snd no one seems to be n a position to say how long this will hold true. . The cbeeae market developed atlll more strength laat week and an advance of He took place. Stocks are growing lighter ach week, as more and more of the fac tories are closing down for the season. The dried fruit market Is very active and tflellverles are being made of new dates and new layer raisins, bo far aa can be seen the market ) strong on almost every ar ticle In the dried frut line, with advances an Home of them. Jobbers report it difficult to secure fur ther supplies of California walnuts. Most 'f the shippers have advised the trade that they, will deliver only about 60 per cent uf their sales. . In canned gooda there Is very little of change to report. Futures are being de livered as rapidly as possible, but the trade otherwise in of a hanS-to-mouth character. The market on rolled oats eased oft a little last week, the decline amounting to about 30 cents per barrel and to 15 cents per cae on five-pound parages. The "bean market 11 in Just about the Urn, position it waa a week ago. Rica Is strong at the advance previously reported, with very little chance of a change at least hi the direction of lower prices for some time to come. The supply of the better grades is so limited that the mills are almost without exception holding for full prices for anything that grades from extra choice to fancy, while the lower grades are H cent per pound higher than tFipv were at thla time last reason. There Is-no change whatever in either the coffee or tea market. Trading la lairiy brisk, but at the same prices that were rulina a week asrn. So far .aa the condition of trade Is con cerned local grocery Jobbers report tne de mand as being unusually good, with every thing in the holiday line moving more freely than expected. Cotton Gooda Rrmala larhaatrd. The market on cotton goods continuea at a standstill. The price of raw cotton has fluctuated to. some extent, but quotations continue to rule hlch and although some lim nnerators have been looking for a re adjustment of values manufacture Insist that nrlres mult be higher. Numerous harge orders, however, are said to have al ready peen pisceti lur BLiiitua"'" nni ii staple snd fancy prints for spring delivery I full nrlr-ea. and any oroDOSltions to place 'orders for future delivery at concessions (are said to have met wnn reiusai. It is the opinion of those weH poMed en '.the general situation, that successful mer Irhinu will huv earlv. not so much in an Klcipatlon of higher prlcea as tf scarcity of poesiraDie gooos. . in aDeakina- or tne local traae situation Omaha Jobbere state that there was a big movement in the demand last week for bc.t.- tonahle lines. Salesmen and department Imanacers have been making a vigorous er fert to reduce stocks or winter gooas oeiore Invoicing and to make room for spring gooda. More visiting merchants were on the market than for some weeks past. i The order trade for gooda for current use i was also very satisfactory and advance I Business was or large proportions, juany Leuiocial lines of spring wash goods In pop lular makes are already aold up and It look! now as though spring business would be f Heavier tnaa ever peiore. Hariwaee Active aai Steady. The demand for all lines of hardware i continues very active and jobbers are still talking of the gains they are making over laat season. There does not seem to be any xpeclal feature to the trade unless It be the excessive demand for soft coal heaters t which was reported a week ago. The sup- ifly la far short of the demand and al I though a carload arrives every few days that does not begin to fill the orders that Jobbers have on hand. The market continues firm on practically all lines, but no quotable changes have ;taken place that are worthy of mention for 'some little time past. Wire and nails are .steady at the decline reported several weeks ago. and no change la looked for In tne immediate ruture. . Better Deaaaad for Lestner Goods. There was quite an Improvement last week In the demand for leather gooda. A good many merchants were In the city f lacing eixlng-irp ordera and they reported be demand in the -country as being very brisk. Toward the close of the week In particular there was a big sale owing to i the sloppy -weather. Merchants say that if I they could only have more of that kind of I weat tier they would nave no cause lor com 'jjlalnt- ... i Advance orders are also coming In quite ; freely (or this season of the year. Mer- chants seem inclined to place their orders 1 early this year, for fear that prices will I rule . higher later on. The market still hows considerable tendency toward higher ; prices and those who ought to know say that leather goods at present prlcea are a safe isvestmetit. There waa also a big improvement last week In the demand for rubber gooda. Light rubbers, rubber boots and all kinds of rub ber clothing sold to the test advantage Jobbers did not feel the effects of the de mand to any extent, but retailers cleaned cut considerable slock. Fralts a ad Prod see. There was a good demand last week for Trulls ana vegetables, cranprrries in par itlcular were In good reaueat for thi 'Thanksgiving trade, and the tendency of prices wan upwaru. n ucunua sxoca n now -eel I in a at $a.6ucti.60 per barrel and a $4 per box. Apples are also commanding strorrg prices, ss will be seen from the quo tatlutis in1 another colamn. Oranges, ngs and dates sold mors lreely last week than lor acme time past. There was not much change In the rege- table tins except a slight advance on pots .toes. .The market Is now quoted at 2it34 'cents per bushel.

NEW TORK, Nov. 16 Much nervqusness snd misgiving were reflected In the market again today, and there were erratic fluctua tions throughout the session. The market closed firm, however, and at net advances of 1 to 2 points over last right for the principal stocks. The bank ststement seemed to be the deciding feature In driv. lng the bears to rover. The loss In cssh was less thsn had been expected, but the loan contraction was smaller than had been hoped for In view of the heavy liquidation In the stock market during the wek. The market reacted sharply Immediately after the publication of the statement. It was srgued that the heaviest liquidation which occurred In yesterday's stock market would only figure for one day In the week s aver ages, so that the statement probably tinder, stated the strength of the banks. The re turn of the flow of currency from the In terior to New York revived hopes for the recovery of the money situation from that source. Bankers were unanimous In deny ing that there was sny occasion for alarm ing rumors of financial unsoundness In that portion of the financial world and their as surances had a relieving e"fect upon senti ment. Prices had fallen all the way from 15 to 30 points for the principal high stocks from the level of yesteraay. and at tne low level of Friday many stocks reached the lowest of the year, but many of tin speculative favorites and those among the stocks wnicn nsvs sunereo most severely from liquidation are still from 20 to 19 points above the low level of the early part of the year. ttonas nave oeen unoer pressure, out have not been so freely sold as stocks. United States Ss and 6a declined . the new 4s H. the old 4s and the 2s 1 per cent, as compared with last week's closing call. Tha New Tork Finsncler this week says: The official statement of the New York Associated banks last week showed a loss of I1.4.H8.700 In eash. of which 11.174.100 con sisted of specie snd t266.60O of legal tenders. The traceable movement or money during the week, however. Indicated an estimated loas of S2.47.bOO In cash, or 11.206.100 larger than thet shown by the official statement. One feature of the Interbank changes which Is quite encouraging and which may account for the above noted discrepancy Is that the returns of money from the central south were more than sufficient to offset the transfers through the treasury to New York. It Is noteworthy that the loss of S4.S83.400 by the banks to the subtreasury last week waa the greatest for any week alnoe September IS. This was largely due to customs and International revenue col lections and these are expected to continue heavy In the near future. Loans in the banks were reduced 15, M, 400, reflecting the liquidation which wss In progress on the Stock exchange for the greater part of the week; the deposits were decreased S7,66S.8u or a larger amount by 11.162.700 than was called for by the total of the loss of cash and of ths reduction In loans, hence the ststement wss out of hsrmony. The re- Sulred reserve was reduced by fl.816,700: eductlng from this amount the loaa of cash leaves H'fi.ooo as ths Increase of sur plus reserve. This Item now stands at 1)8. SlS.SOO. against 110,183,825 at the correspond ing date last year. Computed on the basis of deposits, less those of the government. wmcn were last weea reportea at ai.ao, it, the surplus reserve was S28.S3,276. The cir culation continues to increase and ths amount of gain reported last week was SKO4.80O. One noticeable feature was ths large amount of bank clearings for ths week, probably due to the shifting of loans and other chanarea incident to the buslnesa In stocks on the exchange. The total of the I clearings reported for the week was 11,747.- I 727.520. or x37b.uuo.uuv greater man ior tn previous week: the daily average was 8291,- 000,000. The clearings on Saturday, reflect- lng rnnay s ousmess on tne exenange. were x2H2.ou,uuu. comparisons or cnanges In the item of loana .show that of tbe larger banks eight made a net reduction of 83,800,000. indicating that the contraction of thla Item was quite uniformly distributed.

Totals CATTLE There were onlv s few rattle here today, snd not enough with which to make a test of the market. For the week tbe supply has been very liberal, as will be seen from the table given above. Other markets have also had big receipts, so that prlcea have taken a big tumble. More cornted steers were sold last week than st any time since the ranee season opened, prices, as a result, have been going oown at a rapia rate, ana are now at the lowest point reached in many months. As compared with the high time last June, when ton cattle were selling around 8 26, the market Is from 31.60 to 32.09 lower, snd In extreme cases the decline Is consid erably greater than that. Top cattle are selling ln Chicago at 86.75 to 87.00, and the general opinion ta that 86 76 would be the extreme top at thla point. No finished cattle nave been received here, however with which to make a test of values, so that the price they would bring is largely guess wora. as compared witn last week tbe market is Bsfely 2540c lower. When prlcea are going down at a rapid rate the market is apt to be very uneven and the present situation is no exception to the general rule, so that some sales look much better than others. The cow market has also suffered In bad shape during the week. Comfed stuff haa declined even more than greasers. The dr. cllne on the general run of grass cows In most cases would be covered by S5fi50c. but comfeds in a good many Instances have suffered even worse than that. It Is hard. however, to tell much about cornfed cowa and heifers, for the reaaon that they have been selling at such uneven price. It la to be noticed though that the quality of tne corn stun so lar has been rather ln ferlor. and no choice stuff at all has been offered with which to make a test of values It takes pretty good grassers to bring around 83.60, but something choloer would sell higher. veal calves nave not shown much chana-e during the week, but bulls and stags have suffered the same as steers and cows. The stocker and feeder market ajso took tumble. strictly choice nanrtv welunt feeders, averaging from 860 to 1,000 pounds. are pernaps not over jouzjoc lower man a week ago. but the general run of stock cattle are ZbsptOc lower. The demand from tbe country was nothing extra dur lng the week and the slump ln fat cattle, of course, caused a break In feeders. There was a much heavier sunulv of western rangers on the different markets this week than was generally expected and more than packers seemed to have in outlet for. The beef steers slumped off Tuny ZaftMoc and all but the verv rholnvat feeders suffered a like decline. Range cows may oe quoted ioyauc. lower and in some sees sales were made that looked even worse man mat. representative sales HOGS There was a fair run of hogs here today for a Saturday and tbe market opened right close to 6c higher than yes teraay. j in quaiuy oi tne nogs, though was not aa rood aa yeeterdar. aa th weights were heavier, so that the sales on paper do not snow tne lull strength of tha market. The bulk of the hogs sold from Se 39 to 86.36 and as high at 86 40 was paid. Trading was quite active at those prices ana prscticsliy everything wss dis. posed of in good season. A few trains were late in arriving. Dut still the Iste hogs sold at right close to the same prices that were paid earlier in the morning. Tba supply of hogs for the week has not been st all heavy, aa there is s slight decrease aa compared with the last two weeks, and as compared with the same week of last year there is still a big fall ing off. The market went down at a rapid rate ths first of ths week, but Wednesday proved to be the low day, when the aver age cost was only 86.10. Since that time. however, the market has been aolns un and the week closes with the average only a snaue luwer man un juunuay, out SDOut 12c lower than the close of last week.

There were some heavy fed sheep offered that sold st good steady prices, considering tneir extreme weigni The receipts for the week have been very moarraie. as mere a a Pig decrease as com psred with the last several weeks, and there la also a slight falling off as com pared with the same week of last year Tbe market held up In very satisfactory manner on fat sheep and yearlings. Both greasers and fed stuff thai was at all de sirable changed hands quite freely and as compared wlih tbe close of last week the market may be Quoted fullv ateidv. Lambs, however- suffered s decline of fully war and In soras cases sales looked coo eidera.bli lower thsn tlist.
