Thla Time if Yrar,
Wenther conditions wer not exactly
Meal lust week for the rapid movement
of spring lines, but In spite of that fact
retailers In moat nectlons of the country
tributary to Omaha did a very fair busi
ness, owing no doubt to the nesrness of
EHster. Merchants are hoping that the
weather will be murh plessantcr thla week
and If It ta they are confident of doing
ft record breaking business.
Trad In a wholesale way was fully as
good as usual lit thla time of year. Of
course, thla la rather a between aeaaon

a they have not broken their linea to
anv great extent ord.-rs are rather scarce
and email. With anything like a season
able aprlng. however, Jolihera feel aure
that they will have a nice aortlng up
business si little later. Advance orders
with Jobbers are coming In quite satlsfnc
torlly and present Mullcatlona are that
traveling men will succeed In iMioklng more
advance ordera for fall than they did a
year ago. Conditions In the country all
seem to be favorable, a a farmera have
triads good progress with their aprlng
work, and winter wheat, according to the
government reports, la In exceptionally
frood shape. That being the altuatlon, there
a a general feeling of confidence In fu
ture business, ao that there seems to be
ni reason why merchants should not be
willing to place their orders at an early
date.
There have been very few market
changes during the week tinder review.
Kven groceries have remained unusually
steady. There was a feeling of firmness
on nearly all classes of goods, and those
who are In a position tu know seem to
think that there Is no reason why good
healthy markets should not be experienced
for some time to come.
Collections are reported as being In very
satisfactory condition for thla time of
year.
Sugar Market steady.

only that, out present Indications are that
I litre will no a cut from those prices,
'i nat Is owing largely to the fact that ex
port buyers have set a lower limit at which
they will do business, and indications are
tnai the market will sag oft to meet their
views, aa their trade will have to be de
pended upon to take any surplus stock oc
casioned by a heavy crop. Conservative
buyers, aa a result, are holding oft, be
lieving thai there hi no reason why they
should take hold at this time and that If
tne market Is allowed to take Its course
without any speculative movement a nat
ural level will soon be tound, which will
probably be somewhat lower than tha
present basis.
There hits been practically no change In
the canned gooua situation. The volume of
business Is considerably In excess of what
It has been and the general tone of the
market seems to be healthy, with Indica
tions favorable tor Us remaining that way
for some time to come.
The demand for fish lust week waa brisk,
but no particular change in the market
took place. Other staple lines are alao
selling In much the same notches they
were a week ago.
Dry Hoods a Trifle ttalet.
The dein -nd for dry goods In a wholesale
way was rather limited last week. Very
few buyers arrived In the city and mail
orders were rather scarce and small. That,
however. Is to be expected at tins season,
ot the year, as retailers nave bought their
spring siocks and have not had lime to
break their lines. Weather conditions were,
of course, against the retailer last week,
so that in reality they aid noi sell as
much stock as lliey should, but they are
not complaining, as they are confident of a
very brisk truue aa soon as the weather
warms up a trills.
Local jobbers report ordera for all goods
as cuining In aa freely as could be ex
pected this early In the season. The princi
pal lines being pushed at this time are
oiankets, underweur, hosiery and factory
gouus, and ao far traveling men have met
with fully as good success aa they uld dur
ing the corresponding period ot lust year,
i hero Is notnlng particularly new to be
said of the mantel on either cotton or
woolen goods, Roth lines are in a good,
strong pualtion. with every Indication of
tneir remaining that way throuahout the
feeaxon. Munuiacturers ot cotion goous find
a reauy outlet tor an tne stocK tney uao
turn out, so there Is no accumulation. Wool
is so high priced there seems to be no
possibility oi a break in prices for many
months, this year a clip having been con
tracted ior some time sgn. as a result ot
tne healthy condition of the market on
both cotton and woolen gooda both retailers
untl wholesalers feel safe In carrying as
large slocks as their needs dictate.
lisiswsr Active aad lueaaaged.
The demand for staple and seasonable
hardwure still continues exceptionally
heavy. Local Jobbers, In fact, can scarcely
understand what the enormous demand
means that they have experienced all Ihla
year, aa It haa gone tar ahead of their
calculations. According to reports from
other sections much the same condition pre
veals In nearly all parts of the country.
Manufacturers are running their mills to
lull rapacity, and. In faci, In many lines
they lepon the demand the best It hua
been In many years. This extraordinary de
mand naturally has caused a shortage In
some classes of goods, such as poultry
netting, wire cloth and other seamui.tOle
lines, iut still this snortage Is not as yet
ui a veiy. serious naiure.
The market has shown no quotald
changes during the week under review.
Prices, however, ure good and firm, as
would naturally be expeoted when manu
facturers ltave ail the business they can
attend to and more, besides. Local Job
bers say they would not be surprised If
there should be further advances on a
number of lines, so that hardware at pres
ent prices is considered by them a safe
Investment.
Leather tioods Hone Too Uriah.
The leather goods trade has not been
particularly ruining out through the coun
try so far this spring, owing, no doubt, to
the lack ot warm weather. It takes a fw
hot days to make people lay aside their
heavy footwear and take to low shoes,
and consequently retailers have not done
as well as they would like. They are not
doing much complaining, however, aa they
are used to being disappointed In their
early spring business, and they feel conti
nent that they will make up (or lost tune
little later In the season.
Traveling salesmen for local Jobbera are
out for fall uslness and are doing .is well
as they could expert at this time. Mer
chants, however, will undoubtedly l more
willing to anticipate their future wants
wiien their spring trad picks up a in He,
so that salesmen are expecting better suc
cess In a couple of weeks from nu tliait
they l ave had up to dale.

GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET
Wheat aad Cora Itecelpts from First
Hands Continue to Decrease.
OMAHA, Arrll 15. 1iT6.
The movement of grain from first hands
Is now very light, as light as had been
predlctfd for some months previous to tins
month. The slump In receipts from the
country did not come as quickly aa had
been predicted, but It now appears to be a
fact that there will tie little grain received
at the principal markets unlese the price
advances sharply. In the matter of wheat
the receipts last Monday at Minneapolis
were 'Hi cars and today they were 164, the
next highest for the week. The total for
the week Is S2M cars. Tlr.e movement of
corn seems to b universally light also.
Chicago received Ml cars of corn lH"t Mnn
dty and 2i.j Tuesday, and the average for
the rest of the week Is below WO. The total
Is M7 curs. St. Louis was next in receipts,
getting 247 cars for the week and 9 for its
best (lay, last Tuesdav. Kansas City re
ceived LSI cai-s In the week, TO of them
coming In last Monday. Omaha receipts
of corn amount to only 78 cars altogether.
Monday the receipts were 13 cars. Tuesday
i cars. Wednesday 11 cars, Thursday 17
cars, Kridav 13 cars and Saturday 19 curs.
There appears to be little corn to move
out at present prices until the next crop Is
somewhat assured It is figured about 30
per rent of the last Nebr.vXa crop Is now
In farmers' hands.
The speculative market wns a little down
today and the number and amount or
trades was strlctlv limited The May ranged
between II Is ami J1.14. against 11.17V and
11.14. Fridav. The July ran between
and R7'1c. a loss of c from Friday. May
corn reached 4SV4e and 47'.4C for high and
low. again-. 4!c and 40 Friday. Liver
pool closed with declines of ,c and N
due to large Australian cargoes off const:
F'arls lost in centimes. Herlln Vc and Budu
Pest advanced ltr. The break In corn Is
due to a straddling operation of one firm,
which bought l.Uofi.Ono bushels July corn
and sold that much May corn. The chanso
was made a week ago. The Minneapolis
cash wheat Is now only under the
Chicago May price, whereas a week ago It
was flc under. This Is due tn the buying
by Armour of l.fi'O.OflO bushels of wheat
and the operations of other Chicago cash
men after the No. 1 northern wheat. Since
tbev left the premium of the cash stuff
over the Minneapolis May price has dropped
rrom ac to 4C. Armour was tnougnt to oe
buvlng corn this morning,. The Northwest
ern cars, Including wheat, were 229. against
1W last Tveek and 13H last year. The corn
elersnces were ,1B9.n(i0 busneis, and corn Is
getting more nearly on a working basis
again. The Australian Wheat shipments
are 720.W10 bushels, against 920.0nn bushels
last week and R72.000 bushels last year. The
world's shipments of wheat are estimated
at 10.400,000 hushcK against 9.4S8.ifl the pre
ceding week. The primary receipts of
wheat are 30K.OHO bushels. arftlnt 221.010
bushels last year, and the shipments are
2RR.000 bushels, against 1S9.V0 bushels. The
corn primary receipts are 245000 bushels,
agnlnst 22P.fK0 bushels, and the shipments
are 738,000 bushels, against 219,000 bushels.

last week and about 3,000 head smaller than
they were the corresponding day lust year.
The total receipts of the six leading mar
kets show an Increase for the week over
the same week of last year of about 22,000
head. In view of these liberal supplies the
market has been In very satisfactory con
dition. In the case of beef steers the demand for
the more desirable grades has been fully
equal to the supply and at the close of the
week prices on such kinds are a trifle
higher than they were a week ago. The top
price of the week is $6.50, but they were
not strictly prime. Good to choice cattle
could safely be quoted from $6 to $6.60. The
fair to good cattle are about steady for the
week and are quotable from $5.60 to $6.
Commoner grades have been neglected to
some extent and as prices at Chicago broke
101 15c during the week on that class of
offerings there waa s weaker feeling here
and the market could be quoted a trifle
lower. Not much of anything goes below
$4.25 now and common to fair cattle may be
quoted from $4.25 to $5.40.
The demand for the better grades of cows
and heifers has also been fully equal to the
supply and prices have held stendy to
strong. When It comes to the medium and
common kinds, however, the market is not
as good as It was a week ago by lOylBc,
The bulk of this decline took effect on Fri
day, as packers seemed to be pretty well
Tilled up on the commoner kinds and appar
ently did not care whether they got any of
them or not. Good to choice cows and heif
ers may be quoted from $4.60 to $5.60, fair to
good from $3.90 to $4.50, common to fair
from $2 to $3.76.
Bulla If at all desirable are about steady
for the week and they sell from $3.75 to
$4.25. The common to fair grades go mostly
from $2.26 to $3. 76. Veal calves are also
steady, the bulk of them going from $5
to $6.
A good many stockers and feeders have
arrived here this week and the demand
from the country has not been as good as it
has been on some occasions. Good cattle,
though, were In limited supply and such
kinds are right close to steady for the week
and may be quoted from $4.60 to $4.90. The
common to medium kinds, however, have
been rather slow sale and are fully l()f15c
lower, and In some canes the decline
amounts to more than that. Fair to good
cattle are quotable from $3.90 to $4.40 and
common to fair, from $3.73 down. Repre

HOGS There was a light run of hogs
here today even for a Saturday. The de
mund from packers was In good shape so
that the market ruled active and 2Va5c
higher. The quality of the offerings was
pot up to the usual standard, but buyers all
took hold freely and everything was dis
posed of at an early hour, no change in the
market being . noticeable from start to fin
ish The bulk of the hogs went at $5.3),
with a few common hogs under that and a
few of the better grades brought $6.32V4.
with a top at $6.36.
For the week receipts show an Increase
over last week amounting to about 8,000
head, but ns compared with the same week
of last year there Is a falling off of about
10,000 head. The market has not fluctuated
to any great extent thla week, the average
price on the low day being $5.26 and $5.31
being about the high point, or a range of
only 6c. As compared with the close of last
week the market Is now a big nickel higher.

DEAD WOOD, 8. D.. April 11 (Special.)
One of the most Important developments
in the mining world of the Black Hills this
week Is the annuoncement that Is made by
N. E. Franklin, treasurer of the Hidden
Fortune Mining company, to the effect
that the Columbus Consolidated la about
ready to begin work upon Its proposed big
milling plant. Mr. Franklin, who haa but
lately returned from New York, saw and
talked with the principal men of the com
pany, and from them he learned that the
money necessary to build the plant Is at
sured. It is hoped that the report Is true.
for the Columbu has good ground and
developed upon It not only large bodies
of ore In the vertical formations, but also
In the flat, and Its mines are even at the
present time In such shape that it will not
be difficult to supply at once a plant
capable of handling l.ouO tons of ore daily.
It haa not been decided Just where the
plant will be erected, but it will probably
be convenient to the mines on Dead-wood
creek.' This property has had, during the
last three years, many thousands of dol
lars expended in Its development, and the
ore in the verticals Is freetnllllng and of
an average value of $4.60 per ton gold. On
the 2H) and JOO-f jot levels there has been ex
posed nearly . 400 feet of a ledge of this
character of ore, which will pay well to
treat In a large plant. In the flat forma
tions the company haa mined and milled a
great deal of ore which has gone better
than $12 a ton, and much that haa gone
above $60, but as this ore was treated In
a small plant It did not make a good show
ing for a company so heavily capitalized aa
ia the Columbus. .
Shaft Is Golagr Deeper.
On the Elliptic company's ground, on
Miller gulch, in the Garden City district,
sinking Is being continued and the shaft
has now reached a depth of something over
236 feet, the new machinery which waa
installed last winter working smoothly and
assisting greatly in operations. It Is ex
pected that the quartxlte, which forms
the ore shoot floor In thla section of the
Hills, will be reached In a little less than
300 feet. The material through which the
shaft has been sunk for the last 100 feet
is principally shale, more or less mineral
ized, so the chances of striking an or
body when n ianlte shall be reached
is pretty good. This company owns 1,100
acres of ground In the Garden City dis
trict, most of which has received some de
velopment work. Several verticals are ex
posed on the surface, and It Is near one of
these that the present shaft Is being sunk.
Good boan.'ng houses d midline shops
are" on the company's ground, and around
the work has sprung up a fair-sized camp.
Much of the sinking was done last sum
mer with a horse whim, but since steam
has taken the place of horse power the
work has progressed more rapidly. J. G.
Lemlng, formerly of Broken Bow, Neb.,
Is general manager of the company, and
he says that should conditions at the mine
continue to Improve as they have In the
last few months a larger force will be
employed on development.
Edward Trebllcock, for many years In the
employ of the Homestake Mining company
nt Lead, has signed a contract with the
Lone Star Mining company of Blueflelds,
Nicaragua, and will sail from New Orleans
for that place this week. The contract was
entered Into at Dead wood with A. G. Smith,
treasurer of the Lone Star company, -who
has been visiting with his family here. On
the Lone Star Is a twenty-stamp mill with
a cyanide annex or treatment plant, which
Is tinder the superintendent of Ben Tre
wock, a former Lead young man and a
graduate of the State School of Mines at
Rapid City. Several other Black Hills peo
ple are employed In Blueflelds at the Lone
Star and other properties, and they make
quite a colony.
Gladiator Chooses Officers.
At the annual meeting of the Gladiator
Gold Mines and Milling company, held in
Des Moines, la., last week, tha following
officers were elected: S. G. Hammans, pres
ident; C. C. Painter, vice president; James
Arbuckle, auditor; C. H. Crabtree, treas
urer; J- B. Goode, aeoretary. After his
election as president Mr. Hammans re
signed, giving as his reason ill health, and
In his place James Bird, one of the promi
nent stockholders of the company, was
elected. It is said that the company ha
purchased a forty-stamp mill, which has
been in use In Colorado, and will dismantle
It and ship It to the Hills, where It will be
re-erected upon the Gold Fish mine, one
of the company's properties In Custer
county, on Spring creek, and which has had
a great reputation as the producer of free
gold specimens. The company also ewns a
large acreage of ground on Dead wood
gulch on which It has done a great deal
of work and has a good showing of ore.
This property la situated near the Penn
sylvania and other producing mines ot the
phonolite belt, and it Is said that aaaays
made from the ore taken from It go very
good, and that the ore Is present In the
mine in good quantities. Work on the
Deadwood proposition Is being carried on
with a. small force of miners, but will be
more extensively operated this summer.
This week the ditch and dam which Is to
supply water to the hydraulic plant of
the Gold Leaf Mining company on Iron
Deer creeks was completed and the com
pany Is now about ready to' begin hydraulic
Ing that portion of their' property which
contains placer gold. Water from both
stream will be utilised, and. it Is said,
In the dryest time of summer there will
be at least 100 lnrhes flowing through the
ditch and pipes. Thre miles of ditch haa
been dug and 1,000 feet of eight-Inch pipe
laid, which will deliver J he water to trje
placer ground of the company under an
eighty-foot head. This ground has been
most thoroughly prospected, and It is stated
that even by the use of sluice boxes a man
can make better than wages upon It, but by
hydraullcing it should prove to be ex
ceedingly njch. Besides the placer work
which the company will do this spring
and summer It will also continue ths de
velopment of a number of excellent or
shoots.
Bex Mar Build, Too.
Dr. Steele of Minneapolis, president of the
Rex Gold Mining company, accompanied by
a number of the offllcer and stockholders,
arrived In Lead last Thursday for the
purpose of examining the property and
looking into the feasibility of building a
plant for the treatment of it or. Thla
property, which la located but a short
distance from Lead, has a great deal of
ore exposed upon It, and In the workings
which have been opened during the lait
year., The or la ot good grade, fres-mlll-Ing
anil ocour In large quantities. Should
It be decided to build, one of the best and
most complete plants In the west will be
erected. At the present tim the main
working ahaft is down about 200 feet, and
when that level haa been reached a sta
tion will be established and drifts along
the vein run for 2,6a feet. It is a pretty
good proposition and with the expenditure
of a little more work should be placed upon
a producing basis.
Jars Donnelly, superintendent of the
Myrtle Dell company, operating In the Bald
mountain district. Hates that there has
recently been struck In the workings on the
property an excellent body of ore. It Is
the characteristic shale ore of the urper
cambrlan contact and carries the prin
