BUSINESS OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT fnsntrr Retailers Report Widespread tiond Keeling tmnnt Customers and Are Placing Liberal Orders Ith Jobbers. With tha reported Improvement In crop conditions, due to the recent rains, the pulse of locsl trade Is beating htah. While the heavy rain, aometlmes accompanied by hall, harmed the fields In limited sections, the general effect was beneficial. Retailers all over the country ruport a good feeling among their customers and are gladdening the hearts of the Jobbers with substantial orders. .Labor Is badly needed both In Omaha for manufacturing and general trade purposes and In the slate for the harvest. Lack of help retards the harvest, though with suitable weather all the grain will be saved. In Omaha tha demand for labor cannot be supplied and factories and Job bing houses are working hard with short forcea. Prices are firm on shoes, but It Is not likely that any advances of moment will be made soon. There has been little feature to the leather market so far this month, but Just now, a shortage of flrHt -class hides la reported and an early advance would not be surprising. Shipments from the factories to Jobbers are about what they were In former years and Jobbers report a good business for the summer season. Lo cal factories are running full capacity and Jobbers are pleased with tha prospects for fall and winter trade. Hardware prices remain steady and for aome time there has been no material change In quotations on staple goods. The Impression prevss that this steady condi tion of the market will continue for several months at least. The demand for building hardware docs not slacken and Jobbers are preparing to handlo a big trade all through the winter. Trade In general Is light, as befits the summer season, and the demand extends to all lines of seasonable goods, whllo first orders on winter goods are being filled. Another Advance In Cottoa. Early last week bleached goods were ad vanced to a figure to H cent over prices of a year ago and cambrics were marked up Vi cent. The market la strong In all lines of cotton goods and the outcome of the growing cotton crop Is watched with extreme Interest by Jobbers and manufac turers. They predict that prices soon will be based on 15c cotton lwills ere sold for months In advance and naturally the manufacturers are chary about accepting oidera for near dellverv, consequently tha western Jobbers have some difficulty In getting certain lines of foods. Local Jobbers report their orders or future delivery as larger than for any former summer season. There Is a big de mand for western-made shirts and work ing men's clothing and the local factories are running at full capacity. There la a lively demand for spot prunes on the coast and the tendency of the price Is upward. The strong nature of advices from the coast has led to the first buying of future prunes, though no large quanti ties were Involved In the purchase. Cali fornia seeded raisins for November-December shipment are easier and buvers do not seem to be interested. Currants are un changed. With regard to Valencia raisins, the Indications are for a lower range of prices from first hands and the disposition among buyers In this country Is to wait for the market to settle. Europe will not be able to take the present crop of Valencia and foreign growers naturally will turn to the United Statea to market their supplies. Apricots are strong. It Is said that the evaporated apple market Is In control of eastern speculators. Sacar May Advance Sharply. Jobbers are predicting that within ten days there will be advances of 10 to 20 points on refined sugar. Though the visible supply Is less than a year ago. prices are ruling lower and have been steadier for the last six weeks than for any like period in the last two years. The jobbers say that this condition of affairs cannot con tinue, and they look for a shake-up In the market at any time. Their prediction would sem especially well baaed In view of the fact that tha present consumption la very heavy. Medium grade coffees are plentiful at a steady price, but higher grades are Jn limited supply and firm. Business In coffee Is normal. The Interest In the tea market consists In w-orry over the future supply of Japans. The trade has demonstrated Its ability to absorb all of these grades that csn be put on the market, and It Is Impossible to pile tip any stock. Formosas and Ping Sueys are telling well, and prices are firm. C'anaed Fruit Situation. The feature In canned goods Is the an nouncement by telegraph from the coast of an order cutting policy on Jobbera' as sortments of canned fruits on the onenlnir basis quoted Monday by the California Fruit Canners' aBsoclation. In some In stances orders on peaches and apricots wired out for acceptance have been cut one-third, while aoiu orders for cherries were cut down nearly one-half. It now seems certain that the deliveries on all canned fruits will be heavily short. Some estimates on the California fruit pack make the probable total lesa than ft) per cent of the actual pack a year ago. One Interest estimated the pack as fully 1 orv) -000 cases short of that packed In li. Tha situation Is considered serious, and book ings of orders placed with all packers are liberal. A feature In the situation la the fact that there are no reports current re garding cutting of prices by the Independ ent oackers. Spot tomatoes ara a little bit easier than thev have been this month. No buying in terest In future tomatoes Is noted and there seems to be an Increasing desire among packers to secure further business. That de.lre docs not seem to be strong enough, however, to Induce them to otter to make a material conceasslon In price. The crop outlook Is reported to be excellent, but tha prospects are It will be late, owing to tha setback duo to the late spring. It la thought unlikely that any deliveries on 1907 contracts wllll be made until the very end of August or the first of September, by packers outside of Baltimore.
