: OMAHA. Feb. 7.
Unfavorable weather, laat wee caused
both wholemle and retell trade to slacken
a trifle. The falling off vti notifiable In
all branches, but taking Into consideration
the fact that at leaat two days' trade was
taken out of the week the total volume of
sales was fully aa large as rould be ex
pected. No one, however, la doing any
complaining, for It la expected that the de
ficiency of laat week will be more thnn
made up thla week. Advice from the
countrr are to the effect that a large num
ber of merchant will be In the city thla
Veek and that large orders for aprlng lines
will be placed. Special railroad ratea will
be in force, which alwayi brings a crowd
of buyers.
The only disturbing element In the trade
situation seems to be the si w movement
of farm produce. Very little Brain is being
shipped out of the country and as a result
farmers are short, to some extent, of resdy
money. That haa a tendency to cut down
the volume of retail trade out tnrough the
country and also to retard collections. Thia,
however. Is only a temporary condition ait'l
within a very short time It Is thought
nln wilt he movli.e- ex HI ward at a rapid
rati and that collections will enow a big
improvement. The outlook for the future I
considered very encouraging and Jobbers
In all lines predict the heaviest run of
spring trade that has ever been experi
enced and unless there should be a crop
allure fall business will also be a record
breaker. ,
The market have not fluctuated to any
extent this week and In fact there have
been very few quotable changes worthy of
mention. Trices are Arm all along the line
nd goods are hard to get from the manu
facturers. That Is partly due to freight
congestion, but more -specially to the fact
that manufacturers heve more orders than
they can nil.
agar Market a Utile Lower.
The grocery market as a whole may be
aid to be In a very strong position, but
this la the season of the year when the
conaumptlon of sugar shows a marked de
crease. This year Is no exception to the
general rule, and as a result prices have
eased off a little. The decline for the week
mounts to about loo per 100 pounds. Haws
re also lower. Several of the New York
refineries have closed down for the annual
clean up.
The bean market Is also a little easier
and may be quoted MfTtyc lower than a
week ago. The cold snap, however, may
have a tendency to advance prices.
Th cheese mnrket la very firm and fancy
October made goods are rapidly growing
scarce, so that the market la In a very
string position. v
Trade In canned goods was rather
limited last week, as buyers only bought In
small quantltlea to aupyly their Immediate
wants. The market, however. Is tlrm and
ny Important Increase In conaumptlon
would doubtless advance prices.
Dried fruits are also without material
change so far as quotations are concerned,
but trade Is reported on the Increase.
The rice market showed new additional
strength last week and prices have been
marked up "WAc on beet grades and on
choice.
Rope, both sisal and Manila, Is a little
lower than It was a week ajo.
Other staple lines of groceries carried
by Omaha Jobbers are selling In Just about
the same notches they were a week ago.
Dry Goods Market Very Firm.
There was not any great rush of buyers
on the dry good market Inst week, owing
probably to tne severe s.orm. vvnn any
thlna like good weather this week, how
ever, the city will be full of buyers and
JoLbera expect to do rushing business
all the week.
The market situation has not changed
materially since last report, but at the
same time as the season advances it bo
comes more and more evident that there
la a blir scarcity of desirable lines of cot
ton, woolen end silk goods. Buyers who
hav recently returned irom New York say
that many of the best lines are entirely
sold up, and that they cannot be bought
at any price. Kven the orders that were
placed early In the season are not being
filled promptly, so that Jobbers are having
a hard time filling their orders. This is
true particularly of such lines aa fancy
flnghHmn. Jobbers fear, however, that the
shortage next fall will be even more pro
nouncnl than this year If good crops are
harvested. When such conditions exist
prices are naturally very firm. The cost of
raw material has also been steadily ad
vanclng, so that the outlook for continued
firm markets for aome time to come is
considered very favorable.
Hardware Mot aa Active.
The hardware market was not nartlc
ulariy active last week, but Jobbers think
it was largely owing to the severe storm
which put a stop to all out-of-door work
Jn a short time, however, spring business
will ba In full swing and the general lm
preaslon Is that there will be a demand for
all the goods that Jobbers can secure. The
difficulty that they are' having In getting
goods Is the only thing that Is causing
them any great amount of worry, but all
other markets are In the same tlx. It looks
now aa though there would be considerable
building done In the territory tributary to
hi market, and If so there will be a big
demand for builders' tools and supplies.
There have been no changes In ruling
? rices during the week under review and no
mportant changes are predicted for the
Immediate future. The market, however.
Is In a good, strong position, with the de
tnuid fully equal to the supply.
Ho Chance la Hubbera.
There has been no material change In the
rubber situation. Bo far as local jobbers
have heard there haai been no price-cutting
going on. Retailers, however, are atlll In
clined to hold back their orders In tho hope
that there will be some reductions later on.
Those who are best posted on tne situation
say, however, that retailers will be disap
pointed, as the rubber goods market Is in
more occurs position than It ever was be
fore and that the chances of lower prices
are very remote.
The leather goods trade was also a little
quiet last week. Very few merchants were
In the Mty and traveling men also sent In
Stnparatlvely few orders. With more
vorable weather, however, a more lively
market Is expected. Wholesalers are be
ginning to send out a few of their advance
orders, but It l still a little early for them
to ship any great amount.
Fralts and Produce.
There was quite brisk city demand last
week for fruits and vegetables, but the
country demand was rather limited. It
was, of court-e, most too cold to make ship
ments of perishable goods. Green stuff 'is
now beginning to arrive on the market
quite freely, such as beets, onion J, radisnes,
parsley and lettuce. The quotations will
b found In another column. '
There was quite a demand last week for
apples, but there was no material change
in process. Oranges are In better supply
than they were a short time ago and prices
are lower. The quullty Is also sold to be
better.
The receipts of eggs were quite liberal
last week, but prices did iOl show much
change. Poultry, however, was In mod
erate supply and as the demand was quite
liberal prices firmed up cons) lerhbly. The
butter market was very quiet, the demand
being rather light for even this time of the
faax, and as resul. prices are weak.

NEW YORK, Feb ".The animated
strength or the Wabash securities In the
stock market today contested lor a pre
vailing Inllucnce with the very poor show
ing made by the banks. The Influence of
the b:ink statement was lessened by the
ease with which loan can now be ob
tained. It Is well understood also that the
l 1MII
tan ment was complicated by the cnange
Li the capital account of the Western Na-
U.inal bank, due to merger operations. It
.3 csrmntt'ii th,t the account is overeiaira i
to the amount of more than M.K.OHO by
ressnii of thl adjustment - The loan ex- I
pannlt.n Is still left at a large figure, and It
is bclie'ed that some of the erfeet of the ;
i5.oi"i,ii Pennsylvania loan expansion Is
tnrown over from lat weeg. l ne ii,.vi.m' i
aecllne In cash reserves Is nnre than
twice as much aj was Indicated by the
known movements of money. The $.1,ono,ow
payient to the subtreasury on account of
the ntral Pacific note was made Inst
Suturdav and was not llgured for a fuir
week Iri the averages. The decline In
prirea which followed the publication of
the statement developed so large a demand
from the short sellers yesterday that an
effective rally followed and the market
cloxcd active and tlrm.
Ihe Wauash movement was apparently
based on the news of the steps tanen to-

NEW YORK. Feb. 7. COTTON-Futures
opened firm end quite excited at an ad
vance of 3161 points, and Immediately devel
oped still more pronounced strength and
activity.' March -contracts, which had
closed at 9.01c. showed 9.12c. The rapid ad
vance here was due chielly to unexpected
strung public and private cables. The lat
ter stated that the foreign strength was
due to the strong statistical figures of lust
night cabled from this side. Egyptian
speculators were reported to have re-en-
lerea tne Liverpool maraet as active Duy
ers. The snot situation at f.lveroool was
called particularly strong with spinners
driven to purchase of the more remote fu
ture deliveries In an efTort to secure a call
on supplies nodded against orders for goods
already In hand or expected. The south
was an active buyer aa New York. The
western grain contingent also bought
freely. It was rumored that the late bear
leader had finished covering his shorts and
now stood heavily long of the market,
there was still buying by spot houses, and
exporters took March and May, while the
public demand showed a preference for
July and August. Traders showed Indif
ference to bad weather renorts from the
south and also to heavier estimated re
ceipts for Houston and other points. The
selling nere was cnieny oy parties who
were disposed to secure profits, but this
proved insufficient for the increasing de
mand and the market showed a strong
undertone.

CATTLE There were several cars of cat
tle In the yards this morning, but very few
of them were offered for sale, so there
practically was no market. For the week
receipts have been very liberal In spite
of 4ae big storm, and quite an Increase Is
noted over the corresponding week of last
year. The table above will shpw the exact
figures. . .
The week opened with the beef steer mar
ket In good condition. On Monday the mar
ket waa a little stronger and on Tuesday
trading was very active, with prices un
evenly higher, as packers were afraid the
storm would shut off receipts for the rest
of the week. On Wednesday, Thursday and.
Friday, however, heavy receipts arrived and
price went down at a rapid rale. At the
close of the week the market la fully 16
20c lower than Monday. There Is consid
erable unevennesa, of course, owing to ths
rapid changes that have taken place during
the week. The bulk of the cattle that ar
rived aold from $4.00 to $4 50 with the
choicer bunches selling from $4.50 to $5.16.
m... i ini,.m.cH verv much the
same course as the market for beef steers.
nn Tuesdav orlces were fully 111c nigner
than on the previous Friday, but since that
time the advance has all been lost and
the market Is about back to where It was
the low time of last week. As compared
with the first of this week It, Is safely 15
2oc lower. The bulk of the cows are sell
ing from $2.26 to $3.40, with prime bunches
selling from $3.40 to $4.00 and an occasional
rale above that figure.
The better grades of bulls were very slow
sale all the week and brought but little
more money than the bologna grades. As
compared with the close of last week prices
are if anything a little lower. It now takes
something strictly choice to bring over $3.60.
Veal calves were active and steady all the
week, the best grades selling up to $8.26.
There was a brisk demand all the week
for desirable grades of Blockers and feed
ers and the market is a little stronger
than It was a ween ago. opccuiaiom imvn
been buying a good many warmed-up cat
tle at better prices than the killers would
?-ive. Such kinds sold largely rrom u w to
140 The stockers and feeders that ar
rived sold largely from $3.26 tq $3.90. Repre

SHEEP There were several cars of sheep
reported this morning, but up to a lato
hour not enough of them had arrived to
make a test of the market but It Is snfo
to say that good stuff would have brought
steady prices. The supply for the week
has been very heavy, as there is a big gain
over the same week of last year, but 11s
compared with last week there Is not much
change.
The demand on the part of local packers
has been of very liberal proportions all
the week, so that good stuff has met with
ready sale. It is safe to quote the gctMtral
market active and steady to strong, wfjoh.
of course, means that a good many sales
have been fully a dime higher than the
ssme kinds brought last week. Prima
wethers, nd yesrllngs In particular, have
sold to good advantage. The common stuff,
on most days sold at satisfactory prices,
but still whenever receipts were more lib
eral than usual packers would pound the
half-fat stuff to .a greater or less extent,
but that Is to be expected.
The demand for feeders has been fully
jqual to the supply all the week, and prices)
may be quoted strong.
