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.
