Roth wholesale and mall trade In Omaha
and surrounding country as brisk 'usl
week In spite of the f hi t that the weather
waa unfavorable for the rapid movement
of heavyweight good. Merchant who have
been In the city during the last few Uuya
aay they are Burpi-lKea at the way trade
haa held Up during the warm weather. 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.
There was evidently an attempt made last
week to restore prlcea to their proper baala
aa advancea were made aggregating 40
cents ber 100 pound. 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. It la
tated that the ft rat class packers of Balti
more are getting 10c per doxen more for
their standard brands than the first men
tioned class of goods are selling at. 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. Scaled
herring haa advanced W3c per box and
still higher prlcea ,are looked for In the
future1. The market on K. K. K. herring,
round shares and split Labradores, ia very
firm,. .wltfi prospect favorable for higher
prices.. In ihe near future. The catch of
mackerel la now over with and stock are
reported inadequate for the large demand
anticipated. Local . Jobber predict that
present price will look cheap by next
spring. 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. I'rlcea are Arm all along
the line,, and there in still considerable
rarclty of good. Woolen underwear I
causing some trouble Just now, us Jobbers
re unable to get duplicate order from the
mlllajtud local stocks are exhauated. Many
retailer claim they have not near enough
tockfo carry them through the aeaaon.
Certain lines of blankets' are also running

Thy supply of soft coal stoves Is still far
lion of the d-manil, with no prospect
of Immediate, relief. ,
80 far aa tho market ts'corfferned there
la nn quotable changes to report. Prac
tically all classes f goods are In a good,
firm position, with prospect favorable for
theip remaining that way for some time to
roiii. The demand Just at present Is a
tritld slack, owing to" the unfavorable
weather, hut Jobbers are looking for a big
Improvement In the. future.
Leather Loads In fairly liond Demand
The rain and" mud. of last we"k caused
q Hi a demand for nhoc and also for light
robbers and boots. J. libera pay there are
iiuitu a few alaing-up orders Coming in. uud
that they have r.o cause fur complaint.
Thcro haa, of course, not been cold enough
weather to create any demand for heavy
rubbers, and retailers are naturally getting
a little hiixIoii to unload some of .their
Stock, but liny say a few days of wlnfr
weutl.cr will go a long way toward clos
ing out lhiv pisfeut supplies.
As ha been previously mentioned, the

Coal Strike News Help the Market,
bat Cloe I lower,
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. Further Improve
ment was shown by the stock market at
the opening, a number of active issue
rising to a higher level. The latest news
regarding the coal strike situation was
doubtless a contributing factor. Business
was active and fairly Weil distributed,
with more covering by the short Interest.
Commission houses were prominent
throughout the seaslon. Moderate buying
was reported for out-of-town accounts.
Bt. Paul, the feature of yesterday a mar
ket, made an advance on heavy trading
and the Gould stocks were fractionally
higher, with a 1 per cent advance in
Denver & Rio Grande. Reading was act
ive and strong, while a better tone waa
shown by New York Central, Illinois Cen
tral. Southern Pacific and Pennsylvania.
Gains of 3 and 3S points were registered
by Delaware & Hudson and Illinois Cen
tral. Rock Island waa llrm on western
buying order, tiugar and Steel stocks
were the conspicuous Industrials. Realis
ing in large volu:ne wiped out some of
the early gams. tit. Paul and Illinois
Central making material declines, as did
also AniMlnanuited Copper and several
other lssuee. The lift kh a whole was
falrlv strong, especially the hard coal
group and the Gould stock. There wa
also a umart advance in .'.inneapolis, 8t.
Paul & Sault Ste. Mjt'le preferred. Com
paratively little wu done hi Manhattan
and the other local tractions. Kor in ap

a rainy kooii nana aiau'inrm siui ine
clorlng was generally lieiow yesterday s
final quotation, bave 111 me matter of
loans. where a greater oecretse win
looked for, the brink statement about met
popular expectations. The iiiiparutpvcly
small contraction of loan wu due. it is
thought, to the fact lliat mucn of the
money called In bv the bunk during the
early week waa reloaned later. The ag
gregate of loHtia now outstanding Is $siV.
uMl.Oiu, or about $l!i,noO.oo less than when
the laat slump In tne market began. The
btreasurv made artner transfer of
-U.ooo to Sau r'rauclucu and fluU.OOO to
New Orleans.
The bond market clotcd steady: fluctua
tions were not pronounced either way.
Uuninep wa concenlrateu in the acini-
speculative issue and the rise in the
closing day Imparted a etronajcr tone to
the market, l ulled Slates old and new

week, closliif call.
1 lie .New nine financier tnis weeg
ays: The statement or tne associated
banks last week t-howa an Increase of
.i3..H) in caeh, an amount very closely
correspondlnj witn tne estimated gain,
which waa fVo: the specie decreased
Irj2.. while the legal tender lncrcaed
H...cVi. 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. The required reserve
mas reducsd Adding this sum to
th net gain in cash make Il.fil'5.o6S aa th
increase in surplus reserve. 1 his item is
now l9.is.7&. sgalnst fl4.58S.VJ5 at th
corresponding date a year ago. Computed
on 1 hi basis of deposits less those of .
Is3.ii of the government the surplus Is
(.'9.570. 800. The circulation was Increased
1731.(00 durlnj the week, making the
amount now outstanding Ho.il?.7o0. At
the beainninc of July it was Kil.6K3.guO.
The average clearing of the banka for
the week were L.o0o,0. while those for
(Saturday, rrflectliu; Friday bualneai,
were l-ii3.591.743. Comparisons of change
in th item of loan by the larger bank
show that elaht instltutlona increase this
Item by (.VO.iiiO net. the reduction being
more .than offset by gain. The specie
movement by flv banka show a net in-
crea of taoO.uuu. Hank condition seem
likely to Improve in the Bear future a
the renult of the return movement of cur
rency, which appear to have begun at
least from distant western and north
wester points, Tha money, however
may be expected to show some tlernge
meni this week because of syndicate pay
ments, to be followed at the end of the
week by preparations lor Decern oer set

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.

SHEEP There wer three or four car of
fed cheep and lamb her thla morning, and
they sold readily at Just about steady
pricea with yesterday. Fed ewe sold a
high aa S3 60; wethers S4.2S, and lamb,
(4 ib. For the week receipt have bein quite
liberal, a a gain I noted both over last
week and the correanondlnc week of last
year. Owing to the liberal receipt price
nave eased off a little, though the decline
la not at all serious. The general run of
both sheep and lamb ar not over loSul&c
lower for the week, and on:e of the choicer
grade are not that much lower. Medium
gradea of cwea have probably suffered the
moat, but 15c would cover the decline on
those In the majority of cases. These
fluctuation apply equally well to fed stuff
and to graasers.
Th feeder market also cased off lOtjl&c
a the demand from the country wa lim
ited. Common kinds in particular were
slow sale but still very little tuff will
be carried over Sunday In first hands.
