OMAHA'S CONDITION OF TRADE
Both Wholesalers and Retailors Did a Good
Bisineu Last Week.
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. De

Scare and. this Is particularly tru with the
new crop.
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.

A peremptory mandate has . Just been
handed down by the United States circuit

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. Jones
as city treasurer, ths mayor and city coun
cil of Beatrice against the United States,
ex rsl, th Tompkins county (N. Y.) Na
tional bank, and th same plaintiffs against
ths Bangor (Me.) Savings bank.
Th decision of the United States circuit
court of appeals confirms th judgment of
th United States circuit court for the
district of Nebraska, rendered October 24,
1903. By this decision In th Tompkins
county National bank case. It was or
dered and adjudged that a peremptory
writ of mandamus Issue, commanding the
mayor and city council of Beatrice to ap
propriate the sum of 11,266.78 and Interest
from November 15, 1892, to the payment
of the Judgment and to order the drawing
of a warrant upon th treasurer of the
city, and commanding th treasurer to pay
th sams, also commanding ths mayor and

of the city of Beatrice In a sufficient sum
to pay the Judgment and Interest and

of th lower court and directs that execu
tion be taken forthwith, th writ of error
notwithstanding.
In ths case of the sams plaintiffs against
ths Bangor (Me.) Savings bank, a Judg
ment avers to ths city of Beatrice was
ordered in th circuit court for th district

NO DISTURBANCE IN FINLAND
Rnselaa newspapers Bay Finns Ihonld
Ke Be Bold Responsible for
Assassination.
t
HBL8INGFORA. 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

ST. PETERSBURG, June 18.-A solemn
memorial service for General Bobrikoff,
governor general of Finland, who was shot
Thursday at Helslngfors and died yester
day as the result of his wounds, was held
at the ministry of the Interior today. '
Much interest Is manifested In the polit
ical rasults of General Bobrikoff s as
sassination and some of ths Fln
nlsh settlers have arrived here for
the purpose of considering the subject
with the authorities. 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."
