OMAHA. March 80. 1507. After a holiday yesterday, which was Good Friday, trading was active, but tho market continued nervous,' wheat being very erratic on receipt and denial of dam age report. A substantial Increase fur the cay was recorded In wheat, but corn was dull and oats were inactive. The wheat market opened off and easier on report of rain in Missouri and the southwest and prices for May options opened st a loss of c from the close of Thursday. The market was very narrow and offerings were light, tut a bull move ment soon ensued, which carried prices up to K?!,c, an advance of c over the low point and a net Increase of He over the close of Thursday. Advices of mors dam age by green bugs and hot winds caused the steady rise In price and the close was very strong. The statistical and commer cial situation Is weak and Europe Is very apathetic, but poor crop reports from Okla homa and Kansas strengthened the mar ket. Shipments of wheat from India were heavier at 832.000 bushels, against 57,00O bushels last week, but Australia shipments were lighter. Com was firm, but the May delivery wna dull and fluctuations were narrow. Little news was received to materially affect the market and the close was at the sums prices as Thursday, although an advance of Ho was made In the September options. Oats were strong on eurly trading and May options advanced toe, but a reaction carried prices bark to the opening figures. Offerings were light. The figures on primary receipts, clear ances and carlot receipts (riven are for two days. Including the holiday. Primary wheat receipts wore 1.089,000 bushels and shipments 371,000 bushels, receipts last year of 465.000 bushels and shipments of 192.000 bushels.

March 30.-Reports of damage In v rimii sections of the winter wheat territory by the green bug caused a flrru wheat market here today. At the close May wheat was ,4ri.c higher, corn was up Wtto, osts were Vt higher and provi sions were up from tWo to 6c. The wheat market today ruled firm and higher throughout, with the exception of a small decline early In the session. The depressing factor at the Immediate opening was liberal receipts in tne nonnwesi. v rally quickly took place, however, on re ports of bug damage from the southwest. Aa the session advanced these reports In creased and the market continued to gain In strength until the close. Some favorable reports and denials of serious damage were received, but the majority of the state ments were to the effect that the green bus Is new In Missouri and is spreading In Oklahoma and Kansas. CRsh bouses were good buyers throughout the day and just prior to the close shorts were driven to cover actively. The oIobo was strong.

The corn market displayed considerable strength today, but largely In sympathy with wheat. The announcement on the board that navigation will shortly open also caused strength In the market, it being expected that many large orders for ship ment will be placed as soon as It Is known that boats are actually passing through the atralta of Mackinaw. The close was firm May corn opened a shade lower nt 45'c, sold between 457o and 440 and closed at the latter figure, which was the highest of the day. Local receipts were (15 cara. wH'whree of contract g.-ude. f Vata market was fairly steady nil Vfcy-lth a fair amount of trade.

For the week, aa will be noted from tno tame ai head of column, there has been a very haavv decrease In receipts. There has also been a very considerable falling off aa com pared wltn a year ago. in otner worus, the receipts are the smallest that they have been since the week ending Fobruary 16. under tne innuenoe or me ngm receipts, both here and elsewhere, there ha been a great atrengthenlng up ltr cattle values, un. til at the close of the week beef steers possessing any quality at all are generally 25e higher than at the cloee of last week. That means that all the decline of last week has been recovered. At the same tlm that nrlces have been higher the trade has been more active, the market being the best In that respect that It has been for some little time. The eastern beef market, however, lias not been at all good, and had receipts of live cattle been heavy prices would unquestionably have been far lower than what they are at ths present time. Cows and heifers have Improved In about the same proportion as have beef steers, the market on the desirable kinds being Generally about 26c higher for the week, he trade on most daya has been fairly active, buyers apparently wanting every thing coming. Stockers and feeders have sold freely all the week at good, firm prices. What little weakness was developed last week has been fully made up and feeders are selling kb high as any time. The feeling at the close of the week la that the marketa of the country generally are In a position where they cannot very well stand large receipts without a weak ening of values.

The demand, however, at these prices was not very urgent and before very much business waa tranaacted the market weak, ened, most of the packers being unwilling apparently to pay over $6 $&. 87H- Aa sellers seemed to feel that they were en titled to a good at Iff advance they were very slow about cutting loose, especially at the weaker prices, which naturally made the trade alow and dull toward the last. The recelpta of hogs this week have been very email, showing an enormous decrease as compared with last week and a heavy I decrease aa compared with a year ago. , Under the Influence of the lighter receipts prices have strengthened up quite rapidly, I the market being higher every day alnce Tuesday. At the close ot the week the market is 2o825c higher than It was at the close or last week, or a big ana ntgner tnan Tuesday, which was the low point of the year. Representative sales: No. Av. Sh.

The receipts fur the week have been quite lib eral, though not showing much change aa compared with last week and a year ago. The market as a whole has baen In a most satisfactory condition. The consum ing demand for both sneep arid lambs haa bun urgent and everything desirable has met with ready aale throughout the whole week at strong prices. Lambs. In fact, have been gradually strengthening up and at the close of tlie week can be ssfely auoied at the high point of the season so far. fcl.erp have also sold to very good advantage and aa high as they have any time. Medium and Inferior kinds have been rather slow moat of the suck, packers 4Us erlrnlnatiiig strongly lo favor of the good kkida. A fealux of tho week's receipts Is the preponderance of lamhs and ewes, very few wethers or yearlings having ar rived. pTpcpccts fr the futara can hzrV.r ts better. All Indications seem to point towsrd a continuation of the present good con suming demand for mutton, while the sup ply of live sheep and lambs In the country Is not thought to be burdensome. With the outlook as promising as It Is It would seem to be the part of wisdom for ship pers to hold back both sheep and lambs until they are well finished for market and not sacrifice anything by shipping It In half fat.

THINGS FCR THE FARM ARC IN DEMAND One Gratifying; Featare of Implement Trade Has Been Second Orders f Received by Many Dealers. Another week of exceptionally favorable Weurtlier has caused further increase ot large proportions In ntarly all lines of traue and Jobbers report uniformly heavy shipments. The recent mild weauier has been the cause of activity among farmers, which has resulted In an Impetus to many trades such aa implement and hardware Jobtiers, although an opposite effect is noticed by traders In groceries on account of the farmers being too busy In the fields to go to town for buying supplies. The shoi logo In cars la again apparent In some few lines alter a brief Interval ot reiiei In this respect and complaint Is made that receipts and shipments are both subject to unreasonable delay. Collections have been uniformly good and will probably Improve as the season advancea. Very heavy trade Is reported In hardware, the weather conditions having much effect upon this particular line of trade. Haying tools, for which there la usually little demand until May or June, have been In great demand during the last ween ana the sales of snorting goods, base ball, golf, tennis and firearms, continues to rule as a feature of the market. Nails and wire are In very short supply and nearly half of the sixes of nails are out of stock. Manufacturers are behind In orders because of under-estlmatlon of the trade experi enced this spring and, as a result, screen ing and poultry netting orders will not be nied until next September in some in stances. Few buyers called on the trade during the last week, but mail ordera and salesmen s orders continue unusually heavy and the aprlng trade of 1907 will be one of the heaviest and most profitable ever experienced by western wholesale firms. Collections have been good among wholeaale hardware merchants, but the shortage of cars continues to cause alarm. Implements nnd Dry Goods. Implement dealers report most encourag ing trade and there haa been no change In prices during the last week, although ad vances were anticipated In aome linos. A surprising feature of the trade haa been the receipts ot a large numrjer 01 secona orders for staple lines, which condition has been caused by the open weather In all sections of the northwest. There Is an active demand for seeding machinery and the sales of other machinery, aa well as vehicles haa been good. Satisfaction Is generally expressed over the outlook for Immediate and future shipments and col lections are In good shape. Dry goods have ruled strong, but no ohange In prices Is reported, although ad vances are expected In staple prints. Many buyers have called on the trade during the last week and report large business for the pre-Lenten season. Collections have been normal and the general market situation Is strong. Shoe Collections Better. Shoe Jobbers report that collections have Improved considerably during the last week after a period of aome depression prior to that time. The total Is larger than that of last year for the same period and better conditions In this respeot are anticipated after the beginning ot the next discount period, April 1. Prices for all styles con tinue to hold firm and sales have been very heavy, especially In oxfords and white goods. There has been some difficulty ex perienced In securing stocks and eastern manufacturers are uniformly behind on Orders. Second orders are being received on some oxfords and white goods, but the trade In rubber goods has been slow and little change Is looked for In the latter trade unless wet weather prevails. The greater part of ths spring business In rub bers Is over. A peculiar condition Is re ported with regard to the attitude toward tan leathers. Retailers, who have laid In heavy sup- piles of tan shoes, profess that the trade in this line will 'be abnormal during the ... . , 4 . . coming season, aitnougn tne wnoiesaie mer chants in general take the opposite view. The jobbers of Omaha, who deal largely with country trade, report that tans ace In little demand, but It Is deemed possible that wholesale merchants may have mis judged market conditions In respect to tans and may be found later In an em barrassing position if ordera ars received to any extent Fresh Frnlts Plentiful. Fresh fruits of all kinds are on the mar ket In large quantities.' Strawberries are plentiful, but are being received In poor condition and the choice qualities have been advanced In price. Fancy goods are much higher In price and orangea are be coming scarce, owing to continued rains and floods in California and much delay In transportation. Lemons nave aavancea t and 10 cents per doaen nnd most vegetables are scarce and are selling at higher prices, although potatoes are slightly cheaper. California pie plant la plentiful and oheap and quantities of Cuban pineapples have been received. The supply of apples Is decreasing, but the demand is unusually strong. The first Florida tomatoes were received In time for the Easter trade and th oualltv la arood. Cuban potatoes ana Texai cabbage are beginning to be ahlpped to the kcal market in increasing quan tities and are being retailed at reasonable prices. There has been a steady advance In the market for raw aurora, aa the New York f rices Increased thirty-four points during he laat week and another increase of at least thirty points is expected during the next ninety days. The tendency on refined products Is easier, although prices have been held well recently. Coffee nnd Other Staples. Ths coffee market Is a shade easier on account of the May liquidation now in progress, but only the undesirable grades are being offered to any extent. Good grades oontlnue scarce and prices thereon are much firmer. The demand has been moderate for this season of the year, al though better conditions were shown. dur ln the last few daya and business will hn.h,l,lv inirjis TAatlv within the next r, " The demand for cereale and ayrups has il wtfcbThVd cfhJer:frecWtaumo'n oaTmea!: taMniffl change In prlcea, however, and ths market r.f .....jJ -. Fancy groceries are only firm. The Lenten season has passed and the fish in principal demand will be mackeral, white fish and Holland herring, all of which are I , . , U- l....n being sola in irs uuwiuiic 1,1 i w.i , have been advised to carry good lines of fancy groceries In general. Sliced beef has been subject to a good sdvsnce and all oannsd meaxs are strong on recent increases. Some Good Thlngrs In Cans. Tomatoes ars In better demand, but with out any material change In price, either on spots or futures. Spot corn is without change. There aro some goods on the mar ket which would not grade as etrlctly standard that are seeking buyers at low flguree. Strictly standard com, however, Is quite firmly held, because the canners are absolutely sure that prices will be considerably higher on futures than they aold for last season. The market Is very well cleaned up on peas. Very few spot goods are obtainable from the canners ami nothing Is offered that oould be ninde a 10c sellrr. No Itom In the canned goods line has grown In furor mors rapidly than canned peas, anj Justly so, because of the care and the suc cess In pscklng. Retailers who have not done so will find it to their advantage to give attention to this line during the next two or three years, getting good lines, and these lines firmly established with the trsde. Refugee beana ore In very light supply. String beans ars almost out of the market The few obtainable are In the bands of speculators, outside of Baltimore. Canned Sood as a rule are moving considerably etter than they have been. The supplies of red Alaska salmon are very closely concentrated and It is dally becoming more difficult to secure Just the goods that are wanted In this line. The holders are also much more Indifferent In selling, the impression being that within a very short time price will be advanced. There is very little change to report in dried fruits, apples still showing a little weukners, while peaches and prunes are pretty firmly held. Occaslonnlly there ia a holder who lets go of prunes nt a low trice. Reports from the coast would In dicate that the growing crop of nprlcots has been very St-rtoimly damaged. Some shippers claim that the prices this "tmm will rule almost as hlxh as luat, and that whatever may be the result of further Investigation, prices are bound to nilo hlh The lnfjrniation obtainable so far would ludh atc tLat the crop thro itch nortnern California has' been very seriously dam aged by the rains. In the Fresno district It would appear that the damage 1 not so heavy. It is also reported that prunes have been greatly damaged, but the Infor mation does not come In such a v as to Justify the absolute statement. The Im pression is that there will be plenty of prunes when the harvest time comes .
