Roth wholesalers and retailers In Omaha
surrounding territory report business
tor last week as being of very satisfactory
proportions. There were some days when
the weather was quite seasonable and oth
ers when It was not, &nd the fact that
trade was liberal leads merchants to the
belief that a few riavs at re;iJ summer
weather will make lightweight goods move
out at a rapid rate. Taking the month of
May as a' whole they find tliey have little
io complain or. In nearly all lines the
volume of business has been considerably
ahead of last year or the year before. That
Is particularly true In Omaha, where last
year the strikes had u very bad effect upon
vunnimi in an lines. ini oniy mai, oui
last year it will be remembered that there
were excessive rains dtirlna the month nf
May which damaged business in Omaha
arid In the surrounding towns as well.
W hen those conditions are taken into con
sideration It Is seen that the situation In
all lines Is much better than it waa a year
ago.
Advance orders for fall continue to arrive
?ulte freely and there Is no mistaking the
act that fn nearly nil cases Inhbers havi
sold more goods for fall delivery than ever
ult very few complaints are heard along
irai une.
The markets are In a s-nnd healthv con
dltion and orlces are firm all nlona the line.
There have been several fluctuations during
ne week unaer review, nut most or tnem
were tn the nature of advances.
Collections are reported as being fairly
Satisfactory. There may have been times
when merchants were more prompt, but
still Jobbers are not doing any worrying on
mai score.
agar Advanced Five Points
Wholesale grocers report the sugar mar-
i:ei aDout points higher than It was i
week ago so far aa re lined arades are con
cerned. Raws are also In a very strong
position, a gain ot c being noted over tno
prices of a week ago. Refiners are all the
way rrom aeven to fifteen days oversold,
and those who are In a position to know
are very confident that still higher prices
will rule In the near future. In fact many
of them are predicting an advance for the
any part or tnis week.
There haa been no particular change In
the coffee market. As noted a week ngo,
however, withdrawals are heavy at New
York and higher prices in the near future
Would cause no surprise.
The Wisconsin cheese market has ad
vanced ViO, due to increased consumption.
All offerings are being freely taken. The
New York market haa advanced still more,
thel rise there being quoted at c.
The canned goods market Is In a good,
treng position. Tomatoes In particular
have show considerable strength for the
last several days. Seconds have advanced
in Baltimore 2ftfc per dozen and standards
2o per dosen. The general opinion seema
to be that still higher prices will prevail.
In futures tomato transactions are not
large because of the spot market being
lower than the future market Spot corn
Is also In a very strong position, with offer
ings very closely cleaned up. Retail stocks
are very light and almost all surplus stock
ts finding Its way Into the hands of Jobbers.

o the uncertainty of the peach crop and
inexnected . developments in apricots ine
quotations were recalled in a very lew days.
T In the line of drted fruits It Is said that
the supply of evaporated peaches Is well
Cleaned up and any Important Increase In
the retail trade would have a tendency to
bring about a sharp advance In prices.
There Is practically no article In the dried
fruit line, with the exception of raisins,
which now shows any weakness. Even
piunee have taken on a much firmer tone
and the reported damage to the growing
crop In Santa Clara county will have a ten
dency to advance holders' ideaa.
Other staple lines of groceries not men
tioned above are selling In very, much the
aame notohea they were a week ago.
Dry Oooea Movlaa- Well.
According to report received from tne
country dry goods merchants are enjoying
v.rv irnnA trade. The (act that farmers
are very busy -with their Spring work tins
of course had a tendency to cut down trade
to some etent, but In spite of that fact
and the lack of hot weather merchants have
been doing a very satisfactory business.
Their stocks have gone, to pieces much more
rapidly than they did year ago la May,
and for that reason Jobbers., are . retting
more sorting up orders than last year.
They are necessarily rather small, but they
are numerous enough to make the aggre
gate business quite an item. There is no
special feature to the trade, as the demand
Is general for all seasonable and staple

their orders for fall than they were a short
time ago. The number of orders . booked
by local houses so fur this season Is far In
excess of the. same period' of last year.
There have been practically no new de
velopments In the market since last report.
There Is the same feeling of firmness all
along the line that has been noted for some
time past and so far aa can be seen at the
present time there Is nothing to Indicate
any importsnt chnnges In either direction
for some little time. In other words, a
good, healthy, firm market Is predicted,
which is the kind that both wholesalers
and retailers appreciate the moity
Rabbere an Five Per Ceat.
An advance of 6 per cent In the price of
rubber foot wear will go Into effect June
X. This advance has been announced
through these columns several times dur
ing the last few weeks and retailers
throughout the country are generally
posted on the situation, slobbers say that
practically all of them Intend to buy be
fore they actually need the goods have done
In speaking of this advance, a local job
ber said that there Is a disposition In some
quarters to put forth the contention that
retailers are being held up to a certain
extent by the Rubber trust. In this con
nection he said that on January 1, IWjS,
the prtoe of raw rubber was about 78 cents
per pound. At the present time It costs
$1 14 per pound, or In other words an ad
vance In the raw material of from 40 to
60 per oent. Rubbers, on the othet hand,
re selling only about Su per cent hl.hsr
than they were a year ago, so that the
price of the manufactured article baa not
advanced anything like aa much as the
raw material. Taking these facts Into con
sideration he said that the prices now
asked for rubbers were not at all unrea
sonable, but were Justified by the coat of
production.
Leather goods Jobbers reported trade In
tl,li- Una an be in fairly Rood. They still
complain about the weather being a little
iin.au.nn.lilA. but at the same time re-
t..tnnln to send in sistng up orders. In a
ehort time now Jobbers, expect quite a
trade of that character. ,
Hardware Active aad Firm,
The aemandf for', hard war Is reported las
being exceptionally good for even this sea
son of the year. All of the local houses
are doing a rushing business and are run
ning considerable fcttayler than they- were
a year ago. There seems to be nothing
particularly Interesting In the trade, s
the demand is general for the entire line
of seasonable and staple goods. A has
been previously mentioned the sales, are
limited In many case only by the ability
to secure the goods.
The .market is in practically the same
position It has been for some time pant.
There have been no fluctuations of any Im
portance In either direction and none are
anticipated by those In a position to judge
of the true situation. It Is what is ceiled
u good, healthy, firm market on practically
the entire line.-

effect and during the last hour especially.
After selling off to t&fj.c. July closed at

CATTLE There were practically no cattle
on sale today with which to make a test
of the market. For the week receipts have
been just a trifle smaller than for last
week and as compared with the corres
ponding week of last year there Is a failing
off of about 8,000 head.- The demand has
been fully equal to the supply and In fact
haa been a little In excess and as a result
an active ..stronger market, has. been
experienced all the week.
The beet rteer market can best be de
scribed by calling If fully 26c higher than
it was at the close of last week. There
have been a good many cattle of good
quality on aale and packers have taken
hold of them exceptionally well, as high as
$6.80 having been paid. , -The commoner
grades ot cattle may not have been quite
as brisk aa the good to choice, but still all
klnda are right around a quarter higher
than they were a week ago. Packers evi
dently have had a good outlet for their
products and each day's offerings have
been bought up In good aeaaon. The week
is closing with a good, strong undertone
to the trade. Good to choice rteers may
be quoted from $6.00 to $6.40, fair to good
$4.70 to $6.00 and the leas desirable grades
from $4.60 down.
The supply of butcher stock haa been
very light all the week, but owing to the
high prices at which good cows and belters
have been selling for some time past, as
compared with the prices paid for steers,
there was not aa much Improvement on
the she stuff. The advance on the better
f;rad?s, though, could safely be put at
0i(il6c, while canners and cutters have
shown practically no Improvement, the do
mand for that class being apparently rathor
limited. The same aa usual, buyers are
afraid to take hold of the cattle showing
any signs of grass, as they never kill out
satisfactorily this early In the season.
Good to choice cows and heifers may be
quoted from $4 00 to $4.60, fair to good from
$3.00 to $3.90 and canners and cutters from
$1 .75 to $3.00.
There has been a fairly good demand
for bulls and prices ate, If anything, a
little stronger. Choice grades now sell up
to $4.10 or possibly a little better. Fair to
food sell from $3.60 to $3.90 and the less
esirable grades from X3.60 down. Veal
Calves are lust about stead), top grades
brlnaing 45.25.
The supply of stock cattls has been very
limited all the week and with a fairly good
demand from the country the market may
be quoted active and strong on all de
sirable grades. Good to choice cattle aell
from $4.00 to $4.40, fair to good $3.76 to $4 00
and common kinds from li. 75 down.
HOGS There was a heavy run here this
morning for a Saturday, but the demand
from packers waa liberal and an active
and stronger market resulted. The ad
vance (.mounted to about 2o. as compared
with yesterday's general market, sales
going all the way from rteady to 60
higher. Trading was' very active, so that
everything waa sold at an early hour.
The bulk of the hogs told at 44.47 and
14 60, with the choicer loadx largely from
44.62 to $4 60. The light and common
stuff went from $4.46 down. There was
practically no quotable change In the mar
ket from start to finish, practically every
thing changing hands in a comparatively
short time.
Today'a advance carries the market to
the high point of the week, making a net
f ain over th close of last week of 6tl0c.
n fact, prices are at the highest pilnt
reached since May 18. Receipts this week
have not been excessive, as there is a
decrease aa compared with last week
amounting to about 9,000 head, and as com
pared with the same week of last year
the decrease amounts to about 10,000 head.
Prices eased oft on Monday and Tuesday,
but since that time the tendency has
been upward, with the demand liberal from
all quarters. Representative sales:

OMAHA, May 28, 1904.
The grain markets were exceptionally
dull this morning. New York, Duiuth snd
Minneapolis had already begun their Mem
oiial day suspension, and In the other mar
kets the prospect ot no business until
Tuesday deterred speculation. The when
s;eciilators have been growing ies con
bulllsh In sentiment and the smallness of
the stocks makes them afraid of the short
side. So the market Is dull from that
reason. Corn weakened under the unusual
receipts the Liverpool loss of d and the
line weather. Chicago had 6M csrs of
corn. The general opinion ot the trade Is
no new business will come In from the
outside until there Is material damage to
wheat or a good movement of nsw wheat
so that Chicago and other markets may
have stocks to trade on. The aupplies are
now so light they admit or easy manipula
tion and scare the outsiders.
Minneapolis reports all flour mills closed
down at 8 o'clock this morning and will
not resume until Wednesday. The flour
demand continues poor, i he miners give
as a reaaon for not shutting: down alto
gether that they are getting a high price
tor mill leea snd also nave ample water
power now which they will not have In
June. So thev sav It tavs 'hem to grind
and store and not to wait until June. The
Minneapolis stocks of wheat have decreased
during tne week S43,3Si bushels.
