KOT MANY CHANGES IN RULING PRICES Jobbers Getting- la Their Stocks of Fall Goods Preparatory to Filling , EmIt Advance Orders and Also ' for Barer next Hoata. Conditions were quite favorable last week for a good demand for all seasonable lines of soods and us a result both wholesaler and retailers in Omaha and surroundlnc (errltory did a very nice business. There was a noticeable Increase In the number f fllllns orders received by local houses, which is the best possible proof that re tailers' stocks are getting- low. According to reports received from tbe country, with very few exceptions retailers have sold fully as much of their stocks as they had up to this time last year. Most of them no doubt expected to do better than they did a year ago, but the lack of warm weather has, of course, affected the demnnd for a number of classes of goods. The ds ' tnand will undoubtedly come latfer, but the fronts to the retailer are never so good oward the end of the season as they are early and that Is one of the reasons why ' merchants always like an early aeason. taking everything Into consideration, though, there are very few complaints and merchants are very hopeful for the future. Advance orders are still coming in quite freely and wholesalers are already get ting their fall stocks In ahape to begin filling their advance order. It will not be long now before they will begin ship, pings goods to the far west and north. Prices have fluctuated back and forth to some extent during the week under . review, but still the changes have been confined largely to groceriua Buch lines s dry goods, hardware and leather goods nave shown practically no ohange. Collections are reported as being only fair. Retailers find it difficult to make their collections ana that being th ease no great Improvement is looked for until , after harvest time, when the new crops begin to move. priee oa California Canned Goods. Wholesale grocers report the demand for their line of goods as being exceptionally heavy for this season of the year and much ahead Of the demand a year ago. The mar ket is also In a good, healthy condition, with prices firm in nearly all lines, California canners named their prices last week on the new pack of canned fruits for fail delivery. Upon lnvestlga- . lion It is found that these prices are about as the trade expected, with th possible xoeptlon of lemon tiling peaches, which are being quoted from 10o to SOo per dosen higher than the opening prices last sea- ' son. Tellow Crawford peaches and pears are from &o to 10c per dosen higher than last year and it is generally considered hat1 these prices ar Justified by condi tion existing on th coast. The crop of K aches in th north of California as well in the extreme south will be very much short of-last season and this shortage is most pronounced la th lemon cling va rieties. Th demand for spot tomatoes is very aotlv from all parts of th country and 'under' actlvo trading weak holders have been closed out, establishing an advance of to 6o per dosen. Bpot corn la with out change, but Is in active demand at full prices. Th movement ef dried fruit is reported as being very slow, no special Interest in any line belog manifest. A better demand however. Is anticipated for harvest time and stocks - of peachea and apricots are so light that it Is thought tb market can be easily sustained. Th chees market Is quoted from Ho to Ho per pound higher than it was a week age, owing largely to the faot that speculators were taking all offerings last week. Tli ooffe market Is still on th advance There was a slight rise early In th week nd th latter )utrt of the week there was a aharp advance. It Is generally expected that there will be an Inportant Increase In th pile of packs ; code In th near future as a result of thes advances.

There bus been no quotable change in sugars, either on raws or refined. The de mand, however, la very heavy -and re flners ar largely oversold so there Is more pr less delay in making shipments. Local jobbers predict that because of th excep tionally larga fruit crop In sight the de mand will ba almost unprecedented. Preparing; for roll. Local dry -goods jobbers ar devoting a larga share of their attention at the present time to getting their stocks of fall f oods In shape for early buyers and also o be prepared for making their early ship ments to the far west and north. They ex pect to start on the work of filling the large number of advance orders which they have on hand the latter part of the month and shortly after July 4 It is thought the largest buyers will begin to ar rive to plac their fall orders. Jobbers say that If crop prospects continue as favorable as they are at the present time they will break all previous records ior fall business by a wide margin. Retailers In some cases have not sold quit as much of their spring and summer goods as they expected to up to this time, but they hav no fear of not being able to close them out before th season comes to a close. Th only thing that worries them Is that they have to do so at a sacrifice, which eats Into the year's profits. The markets are In Just about the same position they were at last report. There have been no quotable changes worthy of mention and at the present tlm none are being predicted. The .new crop of cotton is of course being closely watched by all those who ar Interested and on the out corn of that depends very largely th fu ture of the market Many fall and winter lines ars made up so that the market on such goods is practically Independent of th future prlc of raw cotton, but there are other staple lines which fluctuate back and forth with the cotton market. It is entirely too early yet to tell anything about th final outcome of the crop, but th general Impression seems to be that It will hav to be a record breaking crop to carry cotton down to anything like a cheap price. With a short crop cotton goods will becom very valuable. Hardware Actlvo and Steady. The demand for all seasonable and sta ple lines of hardware is reported as being exceptionally good for the time of yar. In fact Jobbers hav about all they can do to keep up with their orders In some departments and In some lines It Is Impos slble to get enough stock to supply their trada Tills shortage, however, is limited to a few classes of goods so that retailers ar being served promptly. The demand Is not limited to any particular class of goods, but covers practically all kinds that ar used at this season, so there Is no special feature to th trad except its activity. Th market Is slso In th same position It was a week ago and so far as jobbers can see at the present time there is not likely to be any Important changes In th near future. It Is simply a good, healthy situation all along the Una. Wo Chang la Leather Goods. Ther is nothing particularly new to report of the leather goods situation. Siring up orders are mors numerous than they were a short tlm ago, but still they are not exactly brisk, present indications are that retailers will close out their stocks In good ahape. but that they will not need any great quantity above what they now have. Th backward season is vary largely responsible for this situation, but as the majority of merchants bought quit freely to start with the total volume of their business will still be quit satisfactory. Rubber goods ar selling slowly the sams ss usual at this time of year. There Is no special feature to th trad. Frnlts, Vegetable and Prodaoo. There has been a brisk demand for fruits of lata and particularly for strawberries. i ney are still the most popular, owing partly to the good quality of the Missouri berries coming forward and partly to the fact that they are still the chetet fruit on the market. Oregon Hood Rivers are soiling fairly well at i ner case, as against 11. 0 and 11.66 for th Missouri. Arkanaas blackberries ar on sale at 12 28 per caa and goose berrls are worth 1160 per case. I'eaches, canteloupe and watermelons, all from Texas, make up th remainder of th Ut of local fruit now on aale. Th prioea will be found in another column. Quota tions on tropical fruits hav not changed much during th week. Vegetables are gradually getting cheaper, but still they have nut weakened to any great satsut during- th last several days.

TO BE NO DELAY ON CANAL Money oa Hand Will Be Sufficient to tart Vsrk Pending; Congres sional Aetloau (Copyrighted by N. T. Herald Co.. 1904.) WASHINGTON, June 18. (New Tork Herald Service Special to Th Bee.) It Is emphatically asserted at th treasury and offices of th canal commission that ther will be no delay In th work of canal con Btructlon at Panama by reason of the fail ure of congress to authorise the proposed Issue of bonds. Th 110,000,000 at the dis posal of th commission, to be paid from funds in the treasury, will be ample for all the work that can bs performed to good advantage before congress at Its Decem ber session has opportunity to act At the commission's headquarters It was pointed out that a considerably more care ful examination of the rout must be mad as a basis for writing specifications for contractors, than was necessary In th Walker commission report upon which congress might decide the relative merit of the two routes. Th chief engineer is now In this city consulting with th commissioners regard ing some of the points that" are now In dispute. He will return to Panama in a few weeks, when a series of borings will be started to settle exact questions regard ing routes and foundations, developing tbe detailed Information necessary for prepar ing specifications. It was originally as sumed that from four to six months would be necessary after the organization of th commission for this work, and that anr other half year would then be given the contractors for their study of the subject. Meanwhile, th commission has always argued that no real tlm would be lost, since the Interval would be devoted to dif ferent Improvements and to th perfection of the plans for selentlflo sanitation. Congress will, next winter, doubtless put ths proposed bond Issue Into a form at tractive to the banks as welt as providing for the government of the sons. Mrs. Hanna has submitted, In response to Secretary Shaw's request, the likeness of th lata senator which she thinks best suited for the use of the engravers, and th Bureau of Engraving and Printing Is already at work preparing designs for the Panama bonds.

National bank and the Bangor (Me.) Savings bank for municipal improvement bonds bought by these banks, and for which th city has up to this tlm defaulted payment. The specific cases ars James E.

Count von Hoens broeck, the .well known political writer, created a sensation today at the session of the Women's Congress. When the fourth section, which was discussing woman suf frage, had completed th list of program speakers, jt .threw, ths subject opsn to dis cussion.

Juns 1. No disturb ance have occurred in any part of Fin land as the result of tbe assassination of Governor General Bobrikoff, nor do th authorities believe that there fs danger of any demonstration of sympathy with ths act of Bchaumann. Th conservative class of Finns deprecate th deed, not only because of Its immediate effect upon them, but because it Is calcu lated to alienate ths sympathy of ths out sld world, which is essential for their campaign. Members of the senate who had Insisted that ths responsibility of guarding the governor general inside the chamber should rest on their shoulders publicly oon- demn the act and are apprehensive that It may lead to a curtailment of their powers. Several Finnish senators have already gons to the emperor to express their regret and ndeavor to prevent the adoption of harsh measures, which they fear would further alienate the Russians and Finns. Ths Rus sian officials seem absolutely convinced that no popular movement will follow Bohau mann's act and ars reposing confidence In th better feelings of the people.- Thsy driv about Helslngfors without guards and attend to their usual duties apparently without fear of personal violence.

Ths father of the assassin, who was dismissed from ths senate at ths time of ths opposition to the Introduction of the Russian languag, has convinced th polio that he knew nothing of his son's purpos.

Th papers contlnus to discuss th matter with great eager ness, with the exception of the Svet, coun. seling against harsh measures. The Vledomostt strongly Insists that the Finnish nation should not be held respon sible for. the crime, and that repressive measures would not only militate against the situation In Finland, but prejudice the Interests of the whole empire. "Th ne cessity for equal, friendly and loving re lations toward all nationalities under ths smpire," th Vledomosti says, "is on of th plain teachings of history." The Novo Vremya says: "The Finnish nation at heart realises that Russia Is th best guardian of Its Interests. General Bobrikoff's murderer belonged to a class In Finland, which Is always striving to create sn oligarchy. Ths Finnish ariatoc racy should cease, once for all, to promote agitation, for Finland enjoys a degree of autonomy never known under Bwedleh rule." Ban owe t for Americans. LISBON, Juns 18.
