Vc higher and provtmona were from 2l.4jc
to 5t,7Vc higher.
The wheat market opened easy on re
newed selling by small houses, but prices
soon rallied moderately and throughout the
remainder of the day a firmer tone was
manifested.. The chief reason for the Im
proved tone was the strength of wheat at
the leading European markets. A decreaso
in the movement ot wheat in the southwest
however, Induced some purchases. Shorts
were the principal bidders, but the volumo
of the trade was not large, owing to com
paratively light - offertngs. The market
closed steady. May opened unchnnged to

advanced to 5Jc. The close was at 52c.
Local receipts were 197 cars.
Provisions were rather weak early In the
day, owing to free selling of pork by local

CATTLE As usual on Saturday' there
were practically no fresh receipts of catile.
The few cjds snd ends on sale were picked
up at Just abcut steady figures. Hcceipts
for the week are about iS."i) head, showing
an Increase of nearly l.nun head over the
previous week and fully i." head over tne
second wo k of Febraary a year ago. Juite
a few very good, long-fed cattle are coming
hut the big bulk of the offerings show that
feeders aio economizing on htgn priced
corn.
The market started out In rather bad
shape on Monday but since then the trend
of values has been steadily upward and
cLsing prices for practically all graues of
beef aro lowl5o higher than a week ago.
There has been a well sustained demand
from both packers and shippers for the
well fatted cattle and several loads have
been taken for direct export 10 Liverpool, tne
tirst time this has occurred In sever. 11
months which indicates a more satisfactory
condition of the trade on the other siae of
the water. Local butchers have taken the
light and handy . weight cattle freely and
aithouiili supplies have been rather liberal
for the time of the year, the movement
has been free from start to finish.
Cows and heifers show fully as much ad
vance for the week as fat cattle, The in
quiry from local packers has been rather
better than usual while a vigorous demand
for shipp;ng account has cnaoled talesmen
to realixe strong prices tor an oeceni oiiei-
ings. Packers wanted cheap beef and cows
n,i heifers furniahed Una more satisfactory
than the Door grades of steers. The market
for veal calves has held steady all week
and bulla, slags, etc., are selling at quo
tablv unchanged prices.
rmiv a small volume of business was
done during the week In Blockers and
fu.rtern tin heins due entirely 10 the
limned offennas. lhe demand has exceeded
the supply most of the tune and as a con
sequence there has been advance of io'u'-Sc
all along the line and the week closes with
practically nothing left In the hands of yard
traders to be carried over to next week.

'hoGS There was a very fair run of hogs
here today for a Saturday and no material
change in the general quality of the offer
ings. In fact, there was very little change
In iha general conditions surrounding tne
trade, and lor the most part prices were
Just about In Friday's notches. The de
mand from packers waa possibly a little
belter than on yesterday, and some of the
more desirable grades, showing weight and
qi-allty, were a shade to 5c higher than
Friday, but on the light and mixed stuff
there was no material change.
Receipts this week have been liberal,
about til.ij0 head, or only a few thousand
less than last week, and some 13,iw nead
more than for the same week lust year.
The market has been somewhat hump
backed, the high point being on Wednes
day and the low spot on Friday. With a
week ago prices are now about lS-'liOe
lower and pretty close to the low point of
tne year. Packers have been taking the
hogs very freely, considering the excessive
supplies, but very Utile Improvement need
be expected in the generul market until
there are indications of a nyiterial decrease
in receipts.

CONDITION OF OMAHA TRADE
Spring Sales of Omaha Milliners Ex
ceed the Volume of Last Year.
BUTESS ARE OCT IN FORCE
Meretseeta, vtltk gtoeka Low, Place
Orders aad Activity Is Hesajped
la All I. tees . .Jest Like
Last Year.
That the trade ot the northweet I en
the high road to normal conditions was
shown during the week by reports ot tne
wholesalers of Omaha.
On every hand It is as reed that the de
pression during (he ln:i:icil flurry of la it
tail is a thing of the i,n and that t.ie
outlook Is for an Hun atn u.u;.e of bus
iness until normal conditions have leen
reached. - '
In some branches of trade prosperity Is
a full measure and other lines s,ow an
improvement that promises some "satisfac
tory records at the close of the season.
Koilowing the end of (lis sirlugency in
money com s an improvement in, Q.llo
Uuns and a coi i e.i jondiug teiiileiiry lo lu
and sill It also has been d.mnn.rate.l
C'inipletelv that tho averfltie C)iin:ry 'me.--chani
escaped lhe etlei La of tl.o f.ur,y.
The people have cash enh which to sup
ply their needs and t.ieir needs are Ji.st
as great as ever More factories are. re
sun. Ing operation every day a id the num
ber of unemployed is decreasing and 11 ia
helievrd befiu-e hmg thq idle null and the
short lorce will be the f.cptlun.
Tho feature of the wee:, has been the
arrival ! (he milliners. M. cipiealwrger
Son Cfnii any came tu 1'iu.mn si enr.i
ago from Keokuk. Ia. 11 Iihi iiictcd u
largi three-story hulld.ng st Eleven 11 and
Farnam streets and occupies every foot of
it. It has mad.- the business l:i Orm-.h
and carlo:nls of tie fair dealers In mil
linery gooits have arrived during the Week
to buy spring goods. Said Mr. Spleiherxer
Saturday; "We tlnd that from Omal.a w 1
have been able tu retain all our old trade
and have scoured hundreds of new custo
mers. Milliners are now con. dig from too
.Mississippi river territory to oniaha and
extend 10 tiie heart of Colorado. Tho Da
kota are supplied by Omaha, s well aa
Nebraska and a part in' Kansas."
All this ha gone to show that Omaha
is the Ideal locution fur wholesale houses,
and. ilespKe the fact ihat the jobbers In
millinery do not offer to pny the railroad
f;tre of the ru.-titm-rn, ss some of the
dealers sre doing, they a'i? securing the
trade because ot price cmi essiuns whiuu
cunnot be secured in other markets.
Omaha wholesalers renort that the coun
try merchants are coining In with their
orders In greater numbers than a year ago.
In almost every case they say tlieir stocks
are low and must be replenished Imme
diately to care for the demands of lher
cus.omers.
K. H. Allen of Allen Ttros. snld concern
ing the trsde 011 groceries, which has been
normal since November 1:
"There have been no new development to
affect trttdn generally, nor the outlook, tut
the trado Is good, and we understand that
on the whole the trade on grooerles is
from to 80 per cent larger than last
ye-r."
While some Items germ high In the gro
cery line, some of them are exceedingly
hard to gel. The condition by Items is
about as follows:
Sugar (uiet and unchanged, with an 1
easier tone. During the last week raws
sold in the east In a few Instances at a,
shade off.
Coffee In the east the market has drifted
from the activity of a week ago to a de
cided dullness and prices were barely sus
tained. Ivocaily there Is an easier tone,
with no change in quotations.
Teas The conditions that characterize 1
the tea market a week ago continue.
Everything points to higher prices, with
the cheaper gradea being actively sotig .t
at stiff quotations. All grades are In fair
demand at unchanged Values.
Spiore The tendency Is to firmness, with
the market rather quiet. No change in
Quotations.
RloeStrong and active in sympathy with
the advances in the south. The medium
and better grades are hard to get at an
advance of VaStSc per pound.
Farinaceous Goods Dullness 1 the fea
ture, with bulk oatmeal selling at 3bo per
barrel off. due. however, to the mills be
ing overstocked on bulk goods rather than
to a material decline in oats.
Tapioca Ixwktng upward; prices f'.rm
and unchanged. ,
Canned Vegetables There la H4.te change
in the general situation. Future pes a are
higher in the east. Ixcally tho cheaper
grades of peas arc hard to get. Eastern
packers are. more persistently than ever en
deavoring lo maintain prices all along tne
line, while the Jobbers are just as offUh
about buying except in a, small way.
Strictly standard tomatoes are firmly held
there at Stic. Locally there la no Changs
In the quotations.
Canned Fruits Canned peache are be
coming scarce. Unllun apples continue
weak. All lines are moving exceedingly .
well. No price changes to report.
Canned Fish Everything firm except
oysters; movement rather slow, at quota
tions which are unchanged.
Canned Meats Corned beef 5c up. No)
other changes; movement only fair.
Dried Fruits Prunes snd raisins easier.
Currants and dates are firm. All Unas aro
selling well considering the high prices.
No changes in quotations.
Syrups and Mulaases Market firm, qulot
and unchanged.
Lincoln's birthday wa no check during
the week for buyers who are In this mar
ket for spring dry goods. During the
week the houses have been full and doing
a big business. There were buyers from
dislaut points and from tlieir report of
their local trade it oppeare that buelness
Is steadily reviving. Offerings will be
made in the Jobbing houses of dress goods
and wash fabrics and there la a feeling
that the spring buying will move off stead
ily from now on. In the men's wear mar
ket the end of the week will witness the
opening of several line of high grado
fancy worsteds, and this will marly com
plete the showing of lism fall iws. Agents '
in the cotton goods market are expressing
the onlnlon that the balance of the month
may continue qnlet, bnt that certainly bv
the first of March the buyers, large and
small, will be forced Into the market for
blearhed cottons, ataple brown cottons,
colored and fancy cloths. Among the cut-ters-up
In the clothing trade tt Is declared
that the repeat orders on spring lulls and
overcoats, cloaks and separate skirts arx
comfng In slow. The retailers have thl-lr
sample llnea ready to open and Mime have
already put their advanced styles on sale.
In the hosiery and underwear trade It Is
reported that buying for fall Is dull, snd
that the Jobtiers are doing less than before
In many seasons In placing orders.. Thn
situation In the lining division of the mar
ket Is complex and the leading manufac
turers of kld-flnlshed cambrics declare that
even st their new low level orlres they gre
not getting the business they should at
this season. All of the commission houses
and selling arendea observed tho holiday
and the district waa quiet.
