Mer chanta In fact are already sending In heivy sorting up ordera. whlcn In the very best evidence that could be found that trade li fully aa Rood ae anticipated. Mrchanti a rule bought heavily early In the ita'on, but evidently they did not over-reach tliem elvea. A few weeka ago there waa conslderiblo complaint about the slowns of co.leo.lons, but ni more talk of that charact. r li heard.

Thcr.t (a the fame flrmnes that h i j character. zcJ the trad for lomi time past and the ten dency of prlcea la undoubtedly upward. Jobbera are all compialiilng about the scarcity of goods and the Impending short age. Those who seem to be Lest pos.cd on the situation any tnat ilium the tabor trouble are adjusted thi re will be the worat shortage of fall goods that haa ever been experienced. Aaotber Advance la lagar, I'he sugar market may be suld to be In a very strong position and an advance of luc per 100 pounds went Into effect last we ?k. The demand la now very heavv and con Bluntly Increasing, so that higher prb-es In lAe near future are being freely vred.cted. lnjf market on syrups eased off a lie lie liT week, owing no doubt to the fact that refiners are caught up with their order and are naming these lower prices to clean up their surplus stock. 1 he tea market Is quoted a little stronger than a week ago, but there haa been very little change In coffee. Operators on the canned goods market ara stlu watching the situation on tomatoes, bu(k an stated a week agu the general belief la that the bottom has been reached and any 'Increase In demand would cause higher prlcea to rule. Spot corn haa shown a II: tie easier feeling, but the movement has featly Improved, and It ta thought tnat a rtient prices are about light. 1 There Is also quite an improvement In thi mand for dried fruits and particularly is liat true of peaches and apricots. A frost Is said to have occurred In Culllornla Auiii 11. which Is thought to have injured the crop of apricots 30 to 40 per cent In some localities. This news haa had a tendency to stiffen the market on spot goods and at advance ot iihic per pound haa gone Into effect. The market on prunes continues rather easy and there is an evident disposi tion on the part of holder to unload. The rice market Is still in a very strong position, with fancy Japs practically out of the market, and medium grades are quoted o above prlcea ruling two week ago. Dry- Good Trade Very Brlak. Dry good Jobber report bouse trade as being fully a good a it was a week ago, at which Urn they callad It the beat that It had been since March 1. Not only has house trade been brisk, but order business on good for current shipment haa been very satisfactory and a great Improvement ha been noted in sales of fall goods for . future shipment. Jobbers think that the prospect of a short supply of many pop ular line of fall gooda la having a ten dency to make merchants place their or ders and as a result traveling men hope ta break all previous record on advance or dera. The cotton good market continue to ad vance and the general lmpreasion la that it II well under the control of speculator, who aeem able to dictate the price which manufacturer muat pay for the product. Another feature which la tending to ad vance the price of manufactured good la th fear of a spread of the strikes which , have begun at Lowell. If this take place Jobber say that a great shortage In many lines and especially In cotton : lunketa and knap fabrics for fall denvery cannot be avoided. Taking the entire situation Into consideration Jobber say there Is no rea son for looking for lower price on cotton good during the present year or at least until after the fall business is over. As a resuu tney consider merchandise at preaent price good property. N Chaaare la Hardware. OMAHA WIIOLE9AI.B.

The tendency of prices, how ever, lias been decidedly downward at all point and In fact th break la the most radical of the seuson. All kinds, the better grade a well as the common kind, can safely b quoted Wix'.'zc lower than a week ago. Th principal reason for this sudden drop, a ha been previously mentioned. Is th fact that Arizona and Texa grass sheep are now arriving on tha southern river market and also at Chicago and a prospects are favorable tor liberal receipts from this time on the break In feed stuff 1 not to b wondered t. The bulk of th offering now coming for ward at thl time consist of clipped stock and' tha quality of late has been far from cbolce. A few bunches of good stuff ar nv every any, out tne Dig ena is only part fat. Quit a few wooled lambs ara still coming.
