Aa a genera! thing unacasouable weather para lyse both wholesal? and retail trade, but that dots not seem to be the cane thla season. Everyone, of course, looks for a much heavier demand to follow the first cold wave, but atill they or not complain ing about the amount of goods they have old. In view of the liberal demand that haa 'been experienced so far thla season retailers naturally look for a brisk trad; throughout the winter, and for that reason re placing liberal fllllng-ln orders. In aome llneo. there Is quite a scarcity of good and the merchanta who bought light early In the fall are having some trouble, but to far there has been no very sertoua delays. Collections, aa a general thing, continue very, satisfactory, and comparatively few bad accounts have been found. Jobbers any that It looks aa though retailers as a cMnss re very prosperous and able to meet their bills with unusual promptness. The market continues very firm on nearly all classes of goods, and "a number of Im portant advances have taken place during the week under review. The talked of ad vance In freight rates. If put in force, will, of course, cause a corresponding advance on all tinea affected. Inarar Advanced Fortr Cents. The fact ha been mentioned through these columns that augar has been Milling on the Missouri river at considerably less than the New Tork price would Justify.

Jobbers claim thnt the- prlca rs still low enough aa compared with - New York, and aa raws arc very Irons they consider the prospects for still fort her advances very favorable. The cheese market waa also excited and ctlve last week. That was particularly true of, New York stock and an advance of 4r per pound Is reported. It Is thought that tills advance will be followed by higher price for Wisconsin made goods. In farinaceous goods the rice, market shows great strength with advancea on the high - grades amounting to V40 or more. Fancy gradea have been taken very quickly, the market all over the country apparently being short of thla class of goods. Oat meat. tn the other hand Is about 26c per barrel lower than It was a ween ago. There, has . been no change In canned tomatoes except that the late pack of green tomatoes are being offered at lower prices than, they were two weeka ago.

Canned corn continues very strong and Jobber ay that" indication are favorable for the market going to $1 per doxen on standard western good. Advices from California Indicate an ad vance of lMi-oc per doxen on standard and extra standard aprlcota, and a scarcity of all kind of canned fruits. There was an exceptionally good demand laat week for the fancy grades of dried fruit. The unfavorable weather Interfered to some extent with the anticipated trade from the country, still the volume of good old was unusually large and Included a greater proportion of fancy goods than the trade ha taken - In former years. The active demand for seeded raisins, a well a the difficulty of getting supplies from the toast, caused an advance of He per fiound. Fancy box raisins are also In very Ight uppjy. and an advance of KXjl&c per dox ia reported over opening price. The fish market Is alao very Arm, with the tendency of prlcea upward.

Codfish haa been marked up Ho per pound, with every prospect of higher prices In the future. The exceptionally large, consumption of fish and the light sup piles on Irand are aald to be the cause for thes advances. The coffee market ha not shown much change during the week. Price fluctuate back and forth through a narrow margin, but ho permanent changes have taken place. The- tea market Is. of course, very quiet, a retailers are buying In a hand-to-mouth way. waiting for the first of the year to arrive, when the tax will be re duced. 'Dry Good Sot Brisk. Dry good Jobber report business a little more quiet than it haa been and also more quiet than they expected. The reason they give la the lack of cold weather to create n active demand for heavyweight goods. They aay, however, that considering the warm weather the demand Is better than could reasonably be expected. Quite a few merchanta have been In the city plac ing orttr. and without an exception they look for an enormous demand aa soon as winter sets In. For that reason thoy bought, quite freely and traveling men are also picking up quite a few order on the road. Merchant are placing good order for snrlng specialties and traveling salesmen re greatly encouraged over the success they have had so far. There afe no particular changes In the mark to not.

The loans were reduced 12,30,, vm. making a contraction of ti.&MOO for the fortnight, a much smaller amount than waa looked for considering the enormous llauidation of speculative account on the Slock exchange on the previous week. It la probable, however, that the small ions laat aeek waa chiefly due to the loas of fund which ha. I accumulated for pending syndicate payment. The deposits de creased $2,613,300. which sum is greater by H.6.U.70U thsn that called for by the re duction In loans, leg the gain In cash; hence the statement waa technically largely out of proof.

Other buyer ) CATTLE Most of the cattle that arrived today were consigned direct to local pack er and were not orcereu on ine maraet, an that a teat of values waa not made. For the week receipt have shown a de crease of nearly 10,000 head as compared with lat week, but a compared with the same week of last year there ia an Increase of a few hundred head. The market on cornfed teer ha been very uncertain all the week. On moil days there were not over Ave or six loads, an that it ia verv difficult for either buy er or sellers to tell anything about the true condition of the market. The most of the cattle have been ahort fed and have sold largely from $4.50 to $5.25, though as high at $6.00 wa paid tor cattle that had been fed about six months and were In Drettv good condition. An extra fancy load, however, ought td sell up to $6.75. As compared with the close of last week there does not seem to be much change In the prevailing prices. Owing to the unevenness some sales look a good deal higher than others, but the market could not well be quoted either higher or lower, it Is very evident that packers are not at all anxious for theae half fat cattle, as they do not kill out satisfactorily. . The cow market advanced sharply the first of the week, but eased off a little to ward the close. The best gradea of both cornfeds and grassers are but little. If any, higher than they were a week ago. It is a difficult matter, seller say, to get over 13.00 for anything and the grassers seem 10 be selling to better advantage than the cornfeds, for the reason, buyers claim, that the cornfeds do not make as good a per centage as the grassers. It may safely be said that the pricea that have been paid this week for the cornfeds have been very disappointing. Canners. however, have been in big demand and have advanced fullv 25c and In some cases as much at Soc. The medium class of cow are also a little higher for the week, Bologna bulls may be quoted fully 15 25c higher for the week and feeder bulls or good quality are aiso a nine stronger. Veal calves have not shown much change and choice veals are selling from $5.50 to $6.00. Stockers and feeders were considerably higher the first of the week, but the market eased oft a little on Thursday and Friday. As compared with the close of last week, however, prices on desirable stuff look 10j2'20c higher. Common stuff haa been neglected ail the week. Western beef steers also advanced the first of the week and lost some of the gain later on. The quality of the offering to ward the close of the week, though, was very Inferior, so that desirable kind would probably have sold a little better than they did last week. Range co are all the way from strong to 2oc or 36c higher, the greatest advance being on the canners and the least on the best grades. Western stockers and feeders art) also loj30c higher than a week ago. HOGS There was Just a fair run of hogs here today, and the market opened fairly active and steady to strong us compared with yesterday. As the morning advanced the feeling improved so that the market averaged a shade higher. The bulk of the sales went at $t.25 and $6 27V, with choice loads mostly at $6.30. and the heavy packing gradea sold from $6.25 down. The later ar rivals sold at good strong prices, and as trading was active from start to finish everything was disposed of In good season. For the Week receipts show an Increase over last week of about 9,000 head, but aa compared with the same week of laat year there Is a decrease of about 30,000 head. The week opened with an advance of about a dime, but since that time, with the ex ception of today, the tendency of prices was downward and the week cloaed about a nickel lower than the close of last week.
