T.100 CONDITION (IFUMAIIA'SIRADE . y l Sprint; Lines Show Signs of Coming Actifity j snd Jobbers Ver Hopefu1. t , VARKET STRONG, WITH UPWARD TREND ! War In the East Will Affect Market oa m Feiv Lines If of lac liara tloa, bat Kerr Importaat Changes Expected. Spring lines were In better demand last Week with Omaha Johheis and nutnSfac tureis than they have been at any time so far thin season. As expected, the special railroad rates recently Inaugurated brought In a good many buvers, which stimulated house trade, and besides thnt, trnvellng men met with better success than of late. Present Indications are that buying will be very liberal from this tlmo on and moat Johlter are predicting thut spring business this year will go far ahead even of last year. The healthy condition of the general market, with prospects favorable for higher rather than for lower prices on most Hues, Is being largely de)cmlcd upon to stimulate early buying and also to make merchants anticipate their wants more than they oth erwise would. The war in the far east la having some effect on the market on a number of liites. Some classes of goods It will have a ten dency to advance, while others It will de press. I'nless the war should be prolonged for a considerable time, however, but very few lines In which people In this community are Interested will be materially nfTecteri. The changes fit ruling prices during Mm week under review have not been radical, but most of them have been In the direc tion of higher rather than of lower quo tations. Collections are reported as being only fair. The reason given Is that eome lines of heavy goods have not sold well this winter owing to the late arrival of cold weather, and aa a result merchants have not been meeting their bills as promptly as they might. Wholesalers, however, are doing no complaining on Mils score and. In fact, say they have very few bad accounts and expect no trouble on that score. Advance la Graaslatrd Sugar. Wholesale grocers report tho volume of trade for last week as being Very satis factory for the time of year and In fact heavier than for the same period of last year. Tho general market is In a Rood. strong position and a number of advances have gone Into effect that are worthy of mention. Among these Is an advance In granulated sugar amounting to 6 points. Retiners report a better demand and In reality say that withdrawals havo been heavy. The cofTee market still continues on Its upward course. Tho market opened higher the first of the week and there lias been a steady advance since of 10 to 2 points each day, the total gain amounting to a4lflTo on Brazil coffees. Indications nre said to point strongly toward still higher prices In the future. Owing to continued cold weather and storms In the bean producing sections of tho country, which have made it imposMblo for farmers to market their beans, prices on that commodity show an advance of 3fi6o a bushel. Oatmeal shows much strength, the mar ket having advanced 25o on barrels, Hie on five pounds and 10c on two-pound cases, and manufacturers claim that even at these higher prices there Is no prolit In the business. Oats of the proper quality are not only high, but scarce. While there has been no advance In syrups, tho market Is In a very strong po sition and an advance of 2(if4 scules would cause no surprise. Wholesalers say Mint at present prices syrup Is a pood purchase and they are advising retailers to carry lib eral stocks. The tea situation la very unsettled and uncertain. The war In tho east will of courae make It more difficult for Japan lo export stock, and besides that marine trans portation and Insurance rates will undoubt edly be advanced. Just what the market will do la Impossible to tell at this time. Baying; Dry Goods Freely. Omaha dry goods Jobbers report trade foi last week as being unusually heavy for tho time of year and much better than a year ago. Conditions In the country seem not only to Justify dry goods merchants In making liberal purchases, but also In an ticipating future requirements. The threat ened advance in cotton goods is another good. reason for buying freely at an early date. The price of cotton has of course been going down of late, but at the same time the price of manufactured goode Is based on ln cotton, so that the finished product is still cheap as compared with the cotton market. Those who ought Vo know say that although the war may iepresa ' cotton to some extent still merchants are perfectly safe In placing their orders at the present time, for goods will not only l higher, but very scarce before the seaaog comes to a close. The advance in all lines of America t prints announced through these columns t week ago went Into effect on Thursday t last week. Indigos, mournings, grays an 4 sblrtlngs were all marked up '-.c per yard. A still further advance is looked for In the near future. Jobbers are calling attention to the fact that print cloths are 2c hiKhm than they were when Americon Indlgoi , were sold at 4c per yard. Thla fact wuli. cause the same goods at Bo per yard t.j look cheap on the present marnet. There are no quotable changes to an nounce on other leading staples, but a scarcity of popular lines Is now a mor serious question than an advance In prices. Preparations are now being made by Omaha Jobbers on a very llberul scale for fall, and some of the larger retailers hve already placed their orders for underweat. Hardware Firm, bat Isehauxeil, The hardware market Is In much the same position it was a week ago. Values , now seem tn be on a gooa nrm iounnaiion and as a result jobbers do not look for many Important changes In the near future. They Bay that there are some reasons for thinking that conditions are shaping them aelv In auich a wav us to cause some ad vances on certain heavy lines, but sti: they do not look ror anytning ai an ramcai. The market is now wnai niey can a 'ou. healthy, firm market, or. In other words, the kind that Just suits manufacturers. Job bers and retailers and the kind which Is conducive to the heaviest buying and the best results. Spring business Is opening In fairly good condition, but the weather so far has not been entirely favorable, so that Jobbers are not at all surprised that trade has not been heavier up to date. They say with all con. ndence. however, that they are going to ii, a big business aa soon as the season fairly gets unaer way, n are not large and retailers are bound to buy freely. Leather Market Strong. t , hr arnnda men renort buslnees as being quite satisfactory. Quite a cumber of buyers arnveu in mo cny injai w- an-, placed good orders. Traveling men also picked up a good many on the road, ho the total sales were fiilly up to expecta tions. Slmen are alsu out after future rubber orders, but ac yet their effort have not been overly successful. It setns that . retailers still have considerable Mock on their shelvea, which makes them slow about buying at this time. Besides Uiat K takes them eome time to make up their minds to buy at the advanced price. Job bers say, though, that this Is but the first . of a series of advances, as another-one is sure to go into effect June 1, arid an ad in thut time vould cause no surprise. Retailers are protected against a decline, so that wholesalers say mer chants have nothing io lose uy at this time and are sure to make. The leather goods market la also In a very strong position. The hide market Is strengthening, and higher prices are being predicted for the future. Leather goods are certain to be no cheaper, and are very apt to be considerably nlgher. The war la liable to effect the market to quite an ex tent, especially If of long duration. Fruits una I'rodace, The greater part of Jast week the weather was nut cold enough to prevent wholesale fruit men from shipping freely, and aa a reault trade was In good shape. Change's though, were few In numUr and of small lmKrtance. Practically the same lines art . on fcu-lo as tlume offered a week ago and i the ruling prices will be found in an- '. other column. v The egg market Is exceedingly high for J the time of year, prices rariglng around 4 the 30 cents mark. Receipts are very light ' and the demand at such prices Is naturally 1 limited. It would take but a small Increase j In receipts to cauae a big break In prices. 1 Poultry has also been ralber scarce, and 1 as a reault prices are strong. Butter Is a f little higher than a week ago for the same reason. :' oysters are still very scarce and the mar- J ket r mains unchanged. On some days f last week wholesalers were practically out of oysters. In a short time they hope to have an ample supply to meet all the re- ., qulrements of their trade.
