a feature of the buying movement and
rumors were current of a coming dlvld.-nd

A number of Industrials were prominent

eign market offered no assistance to the
advancing tendency here. Herlln reported
some anxiety over the money situation,
owing to a forthcoming Prussian loan.

The publication by the Treasury depart

closed the continuance of the wide ex
pansion of the circulation of the country

lowed an Increase In November of $131,

as larfte as for the previous week and very
little short of the reoord of a yaar ao.
The market In spite of liberal receipts
has been moat u;lsfactory to sellers
Trices during; the first four days of the
ek snared upward at a very rapid rate
under the influence of an eaceedlnariy
Rood buylnK demand. It would be very
conservative to say that oVslrshle killers
have sold 2;'i;'ic higher than at the low
point of the Previous week and some aal' a
actually looked hlaher than that. On
Thursday the advance was halted, the feel
ing: on that day. if anything;, being a little
easier. On Friday, while lamb showed
very little change, sheep were generally
quoted liv and In tiome eases as much as
lovl'ic lower than the eitreme high point
of tlie week.
The sheep market has not looked aa
brurht or as promising at any time since
the big; break as It does right now. It
will be well, however, for the country to
Ih'iroiifclily understand that the splendid
buying dt'ioand which has put up prices at
such a rapid rate was confined laigely to
the more desirable grades of killers. At
this s.-ason of the yeiir there Is very llttlo
Inu.ilry for half-fat or unfinished sheep
or lambs. It therefore follows that If the
present advance s to lie maintained the
country should confine Its shipments to
strictly fat stuff. It might also b well
to renlize that with prospects brighter for
the future of the market there should he
no great rush to market even of the de
slrnble kinds.

OATTLB There were no fresh receipts of
cattle of any consequence this morning, the
market being practically bare of supplies as
usual on a Saturday. The receipts this
week have been fairly liberal for the sea
son of the year, showing a good gain over
last week, but at the same time there has
been a heavy decrease as compared with
the corresponding week of last year. The
market as a whole has been In very satis
factory condition so far as sellers have
been concerned, there having been more
Ufa and snap to the trade than for some
time back. Everything received this week
has met with quite ready sale.
Both packers and shippers have been free
buyers of beef steers all this week. Prices
during the week have gradually firmed up.
especially the better kinds. At the close of
the week It Is safe to quote the more de
sirable grades 15ti'26c higher than laBt week.
At the same time some medium kinds of
cattle which are not In very good demand
have shown comparatively little Improve
ment. In addition to a good demand on the
part of packers there haa also been free
buying for shippers' account of both cows
and heifers. The result has been a gradual
strengthening In prices and at the close
of the week the market Is right at 2Rc
higher than a week ago especially on the
fair to good kinds. Common and medium
grades, which were not In as good demand
naturally failed to respond as rapidly to
the Improved conditions.
The receipts of sfockers and feeders have
been extremely light all the week, In fact
on some days there has been V-ajdly
enough to renlly make a test of the mar
ket. At the same time there has been
considerable Inquiry for cattle of that de.
scrlptton and the few coming have Bold
very readily at good strona prices.

It la the hope of Omaha wholesale house
to make new records during !!. Perhaps
if an rxai-t aciount could te kept of tha
aba for the vear thev woul.l rvarh thn
enormous figure of $100,OiMt. Careful
figures collected by The Bee at the rlos
of the year showed the sales of 1W to
amount to $fc,fn.i4i. This was only an In
crease of something over $UMMA aa com
pared to the figures for I'M'.
Since the publication of the list many
wholesalers have commended tha Itemised
statement of business compiled by The Bee,
and the figure Is said not to be too high
and showing Just about tho proper In
crease. Had larger supidlee been available there
is no doubt whatever that the returns for
Ir? would have been even larger thar
they were. When It Is taken Into consid
eration that the lnt two months of Hie
year were practically negative so far as
business was concerned the achievements)
of 1907 and the new records made ar even
more remarkable.
Reports from all over the rountry show
that the Jobbers enter the new year wllta
the smallest stocks ever carried forward
in the history of wholesale merchandising.
Preparations have been made by Omaha
wholesalers to meet the demands this year.
I,at year the wholesalers began to double
up on the Initial orders with the mills be
fore the spring was well started and there
wa not sufficient goods to meet the re
quirements. This Is what caused prices to
go up as they did and resulted In print
selling higher thun civil war prices. In
many other lines buyers berfged for goods,
and many did not get them. When sum
mer months csme the Jobbers found their
trad- heavier than they could conveniently
handle.
Prepared for the Ken Year.
But last season was a lesson to them.
They have ordered i.eavy and have not
aked mills to cancel orders because of tha
financial troubles. Tne goods will come on
and so far aa Omaha wholesalers are con
cerned they will hope to handle all tho
business which cmes their way during;
the year and will be ready when the mer
chants begin to come to the city to buy
Janusry 15, when the spring meetings of
the Manufacturers' and Jobbers' associa
tion will oien. This la a meeting which
will be continuous from the middle of Jan
uary until April 1. Hnd the Omaha whole
salers have arranged to refund car fare,
making It even more desirable to come la
Omaha to trade than during the times
when the railroads granted a rate of one
and one-third or one and one-fifth fare
for the merchants' meetings.
Dry Goods (Inlet.
Present-day business Is quiet. With the
dry goods trade stock taking has beau
in progress. Among the cotton goods mer
chants It Is stated that there Is a larger
movement on coarse cottons for delivery
on and after the firat of February. Job
bers are finding that the retailers are
again In the market for domestics and
they are moving goods to better advantage
than before In many weeks, in the woolens
trade It Is believed that the new year will
be a period of cautious buying by clothiers)
and cloth Jobbers, and there is no doubt
that a harder canvass will have to be
made than before In fully tnlrteen years.
The conditions are not hopeless, by any
means, and manufacturers of medium and
high-grade men's wear are to open their
lines early In Jsnuary to the large buyera
and to the entire trade by the loth. Ac
cording to tke present plans of the woolen
trade, prices will be kept close to the old
levels, and this Is expected to help bring
In early orders. White goods and em
broideries are being delivered by Importers
and domestic manufacturers to the cutters
and department stores, according to sched
ule, and this Is making the position of the
first hand factors stronger for their fall
of 1908 campaign.
Prtnta Are steady.
As the volume of print cloths now belnej
