SEVERAL ADVANCES rVLNT INTO EFFECT
Prospect for Fall Trade ery Flat
tering; anil I, oral Jobber Already
J betting; Morka In Shape for
r Shipping Advance Order.
Considering the fact that this la a be
tween-season period with Omaha Jobber
in mom line, iraue lam week wan of very
satisfactory propm dims. The warm weather
of course stimulated retail trude and
brojgnt In a good many sizlng-up orrtjr
for immediate shipment. The fc.ene.-al talk
now la that mercnanta who hougnt wlaely
will clean up their summer stocks In good
hape. Traveling men who have recently
been In the city say that very few com
plaint are heard from retailers anit they
all seem to le milking money and ure
counting on a good fall business. The con
dition of collection all the spring bus
ehown that merchants are much better
fixed this year than ever before and tho
only way to account for that la that they
have been making money. A few yeurs
ago when weather condltiona were aa m
favorable Ha they have been all this spring
collections were practically stagnated, but
this year retailer went on meeting their
obligations promptly In spite of the late
prlng. Another Indication of the pros
perity of retailer, Is the inct that wholo
alera are not asked for auch liberal ex
tension of credit rs they were a few ye.tr
ago. At that time Jobber had to take
long chances, but now such cases are rare.
Wholesalers are making uae of the pres
ent lull In Immediate business to get tholr
fall stocks In shape ready for . shipping
their advance orders. Kvery year retailer
want their fall stuff shipped earlier thun
the preceding year and this necessitate
Jobber getting In their Mocks at an eurly
date. Thero la no longer any doubt but
what Jobber In practically all lines will
break all previous records for fall busi
ness. Their advmre orders are ahead of
last year and the general belief Is that the
floods and backward spring have kept a
good many merchants from placing their
orders and tneir purennses, wnen mnue,
will help to still further Increase the hv.il
over last season.
There have been fully the usual number
of price fluctuations during the week under
review. Those who are In a position to
know say that present Indications all point
to continued firm markets for some time
to come and the general trade la In a
Tery healthy condition.
Holled Oat Advance Thirty t ents
Wholesale grocers report the volume of
business for last week as being very satis
factory. There was a good brisk demand
for all seasonable lines and collections were
also good for this season of the year. One
of the mOBt radical change In the mar
ket was an advance In rolled oats amount
ing to 30 cents per barrel over the quota
tlona ruling a week ago. Corresponding
advunces went Into effect on smaller pack
age. These advances were caused by the
birth prices ruling on oat and the general
opinion I that there will be no reductions
until the new crop of oat comes on the
market.
Byrup are also In a very strong position
and an advance of 23 scales took effect
last weok.
The sugar market la In very much the
lama position It was a week ago. The de
mand last week, however, was the heaviest
It haa been at any time so far this year.
New York also reports heavy withdrawals
n contracts with the general demand very
brisk. Haws are firm and the market in
a good, healthy condition.
The cheese market haa also held fully
steadv. The output was considerably
heavier Inst week, but the demand was suf
flclent to take all offerlnga at full prices.
Jt I the opinion In New lork that the bot
tom of tho market hp.B been reached, eo far
aa June made goods are concerned.
The benn market 1 trong, with an tip
ward tendency. Fancy tock I obtainable
only at full price. ....
The dried fruit market Is reported active
and stock of peaches I nd apricots are said
to he well cleaned up, with a considerable
demand for both lines Btlll noticeable. Rul
ing price on apricot and prune are a
little higher than they were a week ego,
while peache are firmly held at former
price. Evaporated apple are In good re
quest and currant are about He per pound
higher than they were three week ago.
Those, in a position to know ay that It
look a though these advance on dried
fruits would be sustained.
In the canned good market Interest last
week centered around spot corn, and the
mark t advanced under the Influence of ac
tive trading. The Jobbing price la now 5c
higher than It was a week ago and Btlll
higher price are predicted.
Tomatoes, both spot and future, are un
changed, but very firm In price. Reports
from the packing center indicate a short
age In the pea pack from early estimates of
from Sft to 35 per cent In Indiana, Illlno Is
. r.a Trm-o in ronseouence the market la
stiff and the price obtainable a hort time

Ieatlwr good Jobber say that Biting up
order are coming In more freely than they
have at any time o lar thl year. The
more seasonable weather haa created a
good demand In the country and as a result
ivlallent' atock have twen going to piece
at a raild rate and prospect are that um
mer line will be well cleaned out before
'"'raveling men are on th road taking fall
order and are meeting with better ucees
than ahtlclMtted. It I thought that the
flood and backward spring were a blessing
to western Jobber In disguise. Repreen
atlve of tern house alwjy make their
v.-atern trip quite early in the season and
-vhen they were In thl territory the condi
tions wore unfavorable and merchant, held
back their order. A. r. result Omaha Job
ber, are meeting with less competition now
than uBual and are landing a tine a.sorl-
fient
of fall orders.

Similar Weakness Pro
vlalon Alao Down.
CHICAGO, June 27. Extreme weakness
prevailed In grains and provisions today,
due to the general liouldatlnn. September
j wr.e;it closing l'v? lower, September corn
o j'c ana oat down kxi-c. while pro
visions were from 15c to wic lower.
Bight miowers In portions of the spring
wheat blt, with cloudy skies quite general
in that' section of the country, caused a
feeling among traders--that the drouth in
the northwem was ended, and resulted in
bringing out a large volume of long stuff
which holders were afraid to carry over
Sunday. In consequence of this heavy sell
ing pressure prices dropped preclpititely
and weakness was manifested throughout
the entire session. Cables were rather In
different to the upturn here yesterday and
with tne break at St. Louis, Minneapolis
and Duluth this market followed the lead
and opened lower, July being unchanged
to He lower at Bic to 8JSc, while Septem
ber was off S'aWc to Va V: t 79"4c to 79 c.
The market j-allled at one time during the
first hour, but the selling was too per. stent
to be withstood and prices continued on
their downward course until July had
reuched KOVfrc and September 78c. The close
was near me bottom, with July lc lower
at 80jc and September down lTc at 78
78ic. Clearances of wheat Hnd flour were
equal to !i44,M)o bushels; primary receipts
were 3o4,30j bushels, against 4),iK) bushel
a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re
ported receipts of US cars, which, with
local receipt or 24 cars three ot contract
grade made total receipt tor the thiee
points of 1:40 cars, against 24 car last
week and 347 car.i a year ago.
Corn ruled weak under liquidation
brought out by the weakness In wne.it,
favorable weather and Increased receipts.
Nearly every house in the trade seemed to
have Belling orders on tap at the etart nnd
tho demand was exceedingly light, so that
the opening figures were considerably
lower than yesterday's close. The selling
was renewed from tlmo to time during the
remainder of the session and price d
clinou still farther, July closing at the low
point at 49'c, a loss of after selling
between 4to and 60c; September closed
1'ac lower ut boc, alter ranging between
49'4c and 50c. Ixcal receipts were H
curs, with 74 of contract grade.
Oat for July delivery Buffered a sharp
break In the first hour, the opening price
being from Vc to Vtc lower at 41c to 42o,
and nelllng olf to 41c soon after the open
ing. The decline was due chiefly to selling
by a prominent house and with stop Ins
orders coming out of the decline the re
cession was made more pronounced. There
was more or less liquidation in the de
ferred months on account of the weakness
In July and on the decline In other grains,
together with the favorable weather condi
tions. After selling between 40'c and 42'c,
July closed at 4,c, with September oft S'lP
JiC at 83T4C. a fraction between 33 -j and
S4iiJ4'ic. Local receipts were 2o6 cars.
FrovlHlons ruled decidedly weak the
greater part of the session, due to the
weakness In graips and to heavy liquida
tion. Onen nricea imrn ilanilv In ,t,a
an easier hog market, but toward the end I
of the first hour there was a general sell- I
ing movement and prices declined rapidly,
with pork especially weak. There was lit
tle support to the market and tho cl.sj
was at the bottom, September pork being
off 8oc at $lo.40; September lara dosea 6e
lower at $8.274, while ribs were 22',2c lower
at $8.&.'i. ,
Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat,

SEW YORK STOCKS AND BOSH.
Improved C ondition of Bank ladarea
an Advance In Price.
NEW YORK, June 27 Today s stock
market was narrow and insignificant, as It
ha been for several days past. Profes
sional traders put up prices slightly on the
score of the addition of $2,824,275 to the
surplus of the banks, which la practically
satisfactory, in view of the approach of
the July 1 settlements. The Pennsylvania
stock subscription seems to have figured
both in the loan and cash items of the
bank statement. The lncreaae In cash of
$4.3(19.400 Is between $4,ou0.(i0 and $a.0n0,000
larger than was estimated. Some large
receipt from Philadelphia In connection
with the Pennsylvania Biibscriptlons helped
to this result, and the week's averages
probably had the advantage also of some of
last week's receipts, which came too late
to figure In last week's statement. The
large loan Increase of $8,925,800 Is attributed
to the Pennsylvania operation, but It I be
lieved that the consummation of th Hock
ing Vallev control also figures In the Item.
Authoritative Information of the Hocking
Valley settlement Is not forthcoming, but
the common assumption Is that Lake Shore
figures in the new control, possibly In com
pany with Pennsylvania, and some of Its
affiliated companies. Pennsylvania officials
express confidence that an Insignificant
amount, If anv, of tho new stock will be
left for the underwriting syndicate to tnke
over and a large proportion of the sub
scription seem to be psld In full Instead
of the 50 per cent installment which was
required. The r1s of the quotation for the
stock to 124 and the narrowing of the gap
between the old stock and the certificates
of the new atock were due to the success
of the subscription. The general market
followed Pennaylvanla. but with a narrow
movement.
Dealings in bonds have been largely in
the more speculative Issues and the Import
ant price movements have been In convert
Pble bonds In svmpnthy with the stocks.
United States new 4s. coupon, advanced Vi
per cent, as compared with the closing call
of last week.

CATTLE There were practically no cat
tle on (ale today, but for the week receipts
have been very liberal for tins time of the
year. A compared with the corresponding
week of laat year, there I an increase
amounting to about 11.000 head. As com
pared with the enormous run of last week,
however, there is a decrease amounting to
about 9,000 head.
The beef steer market ha been fluctu
ating back and forth thl week at a rapid
rate. On Monday there wa an advance
amounting to about a dime, but on Tues
day and Wednesday receipt were very
heavy and on those two days there was a
break of 20itfJOc. On Thursday and Friday,
however, prices advanced about 1(B-0C,
which took the market back to about vhere
it waa at the close of last week, or a dime
lower than on Monday. The bulk of the
fair to good cattle are now selling from
$4.60 to $4.90, with the choice grades from
$4.90 to $5.25. The ' part fat ' kinds sell
largely from $4.40 down.
The cow market has followed very much
the same course as steers. The best grade
of corn feds ere Just about steady witn
the close of last week and are Belling
largely from $3.00 to $4.2). with an occa- I
slonal choice bunch above that figure. ,
Glass cow are beginning to come In quite
freely and, a usual ct this time of the
year, packers are very beariah on that
class of stock. It does not kill out to good
advantage and the prices paid show a good
deal of variation, but they are undoubtedly
considerably lower man a week ago. The
bulk of the fair to good grass cows are
selling around $3.00g3.2. with choice
buncbe from that up. Canner have been
very bard to dlapose of all the week and
sell largely from $1.75 to $2 25, with an oc
casional sale as high a $2.50.
Good fat bull have held about steady
for the week, but the medium grades and
those that show graes have been slow Bile
and are considerably lower. Veal calves
have been selling very unevenly. Some
days they sell well, best grades bringing
a high a $6.50, and then again they have
to Bell down to . $6. The lea desirable
grades aell from $4.00 to $6.50.
Receipts of Blockers and feeders have
been extremely light all the week, but so
also ha the demand, and the market Is
now at about the low point reached so far
this season. The fair to good kinds are
selling mostly from $3.(5 to $4.25, with some
thing strictly fancy a little above that.
The commoner kinds are extremely low
sale and considerably lower for tha week.
The beat demand i. for cattle weighing
around K50 pounds.
HOOfW Receipts today were Just about
normal for a Saturday, but as other mar
kets were quoted lower prices here also
eased off a little. The market opened
about a nickel lower than yesterday. Trad
ing wa very active, especially toward the
close, when the market waa if anything a
shade stronger than at the opening. The
big bulk of the hog sold ut $j.67, with a
few load at $3.62V and a few of the choicer
load sold from $5.S7V4 to $5.72,4). Every
thing waa sold before the middle of the
forenoon.
The receipt for the week have been'
quite liberal, aa there I an Increase over
the same week of last year amounting to
about 4,000 head. A compared with the
big run a week ago, however, there Is a
decrease of about 10,000 head. Prices have
fluctuated back and forth to quite an ex
tent during the week, but the general
tendency has been decidedly downward.
Tho net loss amounts to .about 23c. As
compared with a year ago the market 1
11 Sj lower and 30c lower than two year
t. go. A compared with three years ago,
however, the market is about 56c higher
and $2 higher than four years ago. Repre
