THE CONDITION OF TRADE. Bome Say it is Booming and All Affirm That it is Very Good. MONEY QUITE EASY IN MOST SECTIONS T Prespects for Abundant Crops in Nebraska We r Better at This Season of 1 Year, 4> Abont the st money only remaining vestige of ihe stringency is to be found in scctions of the country where the crops were o failure last season and it cannot be expected that money will be plenty in those localities untila new crop is harvested. In other parts of the country tributary to Omaha and in the ty itself the money market has practically returned to its normal condition. No more complaints are heard from business men about the diffculty of obtaining money necessary to y on busi- ness enterprises and it can now be truthfully said that any amouut of money needed can be obtained on good collateral. With the money market in this condition colleetions are very fair and in somo lines of business very good. Asnoted a week ago some old accounts contracted during the dull period at the close of the year are still heng- ing on, but it is only a question of a little time when they will be worked out. Labor- ing men of all ¢classes are now getting to work, building operations and other improvements being under way and this will tend to place in circulation large sums of money that have been hoarded for a good many months, WHOLESALE TRADE 1t would be a difficult matter to describe i the trade which the joboers of Omaha arc now enjoying in too glow- Ing terms. It is putting it in very mild form to say that it is better: than the most sanguine of the jobbers anticipated. Some of them speak of ‘trade s boomin which weans a great deal to western ears, others speak of it as very good while the most couservative say that it is fully as good as they could nsk foror expect. Some fir report a positive inc in_the volume of trade of 20 to 2 per cent for the month as compared wite the same period last year. As a matter of course thero are certain conditions provalent which may be said to be pecubiar to this wson o, perhaps more correctly speaking, conditions that are more pronounced this season than during former years, 1t is noted tha many small cash orders aro coming in. This is ex- plained partly by the uumber of old accounts nging over somo of the retail trade, as noted " above, and tly by a aesire on the part of retailers to be on the safo side ond not load themsclves up with more goods than necessary. hand to mouth business is quite notic on in all sections of the surrounding but more espocially. in localities o crops were o failure last vear and where money is still rather close, Several retail merchants who were in the city last week from different points in west- ern Towa complained that where the crops were the heaviest and the farmers had done the best the merchants were not getting as much benefit might be expected. Their explanation was that the farmers who had received much larger returns for their last years crops had in many cases used the money to pay off mortgzages on their farms and had “'stood oft” the merchants, “It is like this id one of the gentlemen, ‘‘a farmer when he put in his o §1ops last year anticipated cl 7 Syhich would be ample to clear up his little store accounts and other small debts, but the crops were so abundant and prices 'so high that instead of recelving #300 ho was surprised to find himself i pos- session of 81,000 If he happened to have a mortgage of about that amount on his farin he would use the money to pay that off nnd let the small accounts ran. This,” con- tinued the speaker, *'may be a good policy for the farmer but it is a little rough on us merchants,’ This, to say the very ' unique explanation for trade, or rather collections, not meeting expecta- }ln‘n'u, but there may be a good deal of truth n it ‘The jobbers all report their customers as very sanguine of the coming summer and full'trade, and it is safe to say that the feel- ing among both jobbers and retailers was never better. The reason for this cheerful state of affairs is to be found in the magnificent crop prospects of the west and still further by the prospect that these erops will com- mand high prices when harvested. PRODUCE AND FRUITS, The arvival of warm weather brings about certain changes in the pro- duce markets of the country which are closely watched by those interested in the business. The past week has witnessed somo of these changes and others are likely to take ace at an early date. In the first place the demand for dressed poultry has ceased al- ost entirely and dealors now 0dvise sbip- ments of live poultry only. The conditions governing the egg market have also changed somewhat. Last year ~Sgusiderable money was made in tho storago ofegps and that is encouraging speculators to put in & good many this season. The demand for eggs from this source s keeping the market. up and eggs are being piaced in storage that cost 12¢ _and above. Still a very large proportion of the eggs sold during the week wentat 12¢. [t would scem that any cousiderable increase in the veceipts would cause a drop in prices. The condition of the butter market is es- pecially interesting und should be carefully watched by shippers, Receipts are very light and prices ashigh as during the coldest winter weather, the best grades of country butter selling readily at 20@22c, and oc- caslonally extra good Pots as high as 24c. At the same time grass is starting in the coun- try and new butter ought to put in an ap- pearance very soon. ‘When it does come it Is quite likely to be plenty and prices must take a big and very sudden drop. No one wants to bother with game, the de- mand is so light and it is not worth the while of the shipper to handle it now. Ihere has not been enough doing in it the past week to make a market. The vegetable markets are much better supphed than they were a week or two ago, and a large variety of California and south- ern stock is to be had, The mostof these new vegetables are arriving in very good shape and local dealers are prepared 1o fill et a very satisfactory manner. It is not neces- savy to enumerate the different kinds of veg- etables now offered on the market us about everything 15 included in the list even to new potatocs, The frult markets are also well supplied with everything to be had in a, y part of tho country. “Strawberries are coming down in vrice while orauges and lemons ave firm, Apples have become very scarce and aro so bigh that the demand has been cut down very largely. =¥ least, is a always > - OROP PROSPEC When evory business man in every line of business 1s talking about the crop prospects audfwhen business for the coming year may be said to depend entirely upon the result of 1 the crops in the vest, no review of trade con- ditions would be complete without the crop report accompaniment. **What sball the harvest be," is the question that interests every business man in the country fully as much as it interests the farmer himself, So far as can be judged from present indi- cations the farm crops of Nebraska for 1801 will be all that could be dusired. Everything is in the very best condition, the ground is . thoroughly saturated with moisture, and the weather could not be more perfect for germi- 1 nating the grain placed in the ground. ‘There is i general impression among busi- ness men that we are to have both o large acreage and a large yield. As to the latter it is ull guess work, but as to the acreage it is possiblé to give something definite. H Oats will show a slight increase 1 acreage n the eastern part of the state while farther wost there will be a decrease owing to the { difficulty of obtaining the seed and the high { vrice asked for it, | Wheat will show a general increase all over | the state. It Is +.uill early to say anvthing very defl- o about corn, but there is likely to be a gain in acreage taking the state at large, It is estimated that there will be less flax s0wn in the state although in some localities here will bo more than last year. It is safe to add that under the stimulous of Whe present flattering prospects the farmers THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, SUNDAY, AbRIL 26, 1801, »—TWF\TY PA( E'i will crop all the land that they can conven- fently handle, SPECULATIVE MARKETS, Trading in wheat at Chicago during the weok past has been active and of & large volume, On Tuesday it reached the highest point of the year, ¢1.10 for May and 81,14 for July. During the remainder of the week the market nas been on the down grade with oc casional sharp rallies, 1t closed at the Jowest point and 7e from the top. The bear factors have been magnificent spring like weather, glowiug crop prospects and very much weaker foreign markets, In corn and oats the long looked for im- provement in receipts has apparently begun to materialize and the market has résponded with a sudden and severe break on both articles, Provisions have been comparatively dull and featureless I'ne following tables will show the closing at Clicago prices on tho leading options since the first of the month.

Collapse in Prices in the Corn Pit— lines in Al Provision Values ~No Market for Cattle— Hogs Steady., Cnicaqo, April 25, —[Special Tie Bee]—The bonrd of opened weak ut lower p markets, made further rush of selli nd at the end of the first hour made u very good recovery to about last night's prices for wheat and pork. with conrse graing heavy around the bottom fig- ures. The actlon early for July contracts as follows: Wheat, $LOS%. to #1031, to #1090 corn, 00%¢, Lo Gic; onts, 80%ci pork, #13,05 and back to #1174 Everything in slght at the opening today was against the wheat market. Statements regarding crop prospects, both winter and spring, were simvly flattering, The hulk of the local trade, ineluding many who have recently helped to advance prices, was of a bearish turn of mind. The ipts at Minneapolls we an 300 curs. ders to be exceuted on Telegram to trade markoets ces In all the leading declines on wn early i to rec s remnrkable at more t The market was full of stop loss or- the decline. May 1is near at hand and the deliveries were muking many look around for funds to carry wheat if not sold against. 8o much for the home situ- ation. Then Liverpool quoted spot and fu- tures %d Lower and early red %@%d off at the close, London was unchan g which was a sign of wenkness where there has been so much strength of late, These comprised the chief points In favor of the sellers. On the other hand tnere were & foew bulls who gave the ma to better ket support on thelr ideas and trusted 1ews late It came, but it only got its followers in deeper. The first good buying after early dips on Liverpool cables nd crop news was on New York s In afow minutes Dunn & Co., George mith, Arthur, Orr and a tuw others with spe clal advices were buying all they could get. Then ft transpired thut buying was on conti- nental cables, which were sald to be strong with the worst European damage reports con- firmed artly contirmed by Paris closing cables 10 to40 centimes higher. The market mude fts bulgo in less than half an hour. This was followed by tho big feature of the day, a heavy rafd worked by professional bears, supposed to be hoaded by Ream, who was in the pit and credited with a big hand in the deul. The start of the decline found many with profits on the bulge ready to sell. Others were selling on stop orders, others selling short for the rouction and bears hammering prices shuarply. The result was o broak of 2¢ stralght in short order. This far action for leading months was as follows: Muy opened around $1.10%, sold_ at #1.10, went up on the bulge to #L.11%. and off on the break 021,094, July started around $L08%, sold up to#L08%, and on the bulge to 81.09% and on the breuk to 810714, and there was not an hour of the sesslon remaining. But the decline was not over. There was & pause and a slight rally, and while many were asking what struck the market, another rush of selling started and May went to #1.09 and July to #1061, These were the low fizures up to 1 o'clock, when May was at $100% and July steady around 8107, Wheat closed without ny material recovery from the hottom and without uny change practioally from prices at 1o'elock. It was given out at the close that about 50,000 bushels of May sold as low as #1.08%, Closing prices for all futures were as follows; April, 8L0Aig: May, $L.09%: July, BL.05%; August, 81.04% t0.81.02%; Septomber, $1.0314 1081.00%; December, 8104 to#1.01% ; year, 2101 to 00%30. New York reported thirty boat- loads for ax¥port, The collapse In prices in the corn pit was due to various influences. First, cligue houses gave the market no support. Many former bulls have for days If not weeks regarded prices on too high alevel. Country traders in the market have become tired of waiting for the promised advance to 7e. The estimato for Monday Is large at 870 cars, Western in- dications favored a larger movement and bet- tergrading. Foreign advices wore of a woak order. The murket started shaky of Itself and luter when wheat broke about de, it was ea sy for corn prices 10 slide down still lower. Up to 1 o'clock May sold at 703, off to 65c; July, B30, Off to 647505 Keptember, G, off to 62 Phis wis This was a decline from the close yesterday of e for May, 8c for July and 2o for Septe ber. At the close corn was up e to %e from the bottom figures. with Muy at 684c, July at 6415e, or 2xc lower for May and 24c off for July. Other months closed as follows: April ., June 634e, August 63130, September 62150, Great excitement prevafled In outs toduy when the market broke fully e, The decline was cuused by heavy receipts, reports of fine weathor, weakness of othier cereals, as well as the fact that about all big deals had been closed out. The mur- ket continued woak durlng the greater part of the sessfon, but. recovered slightly before the close, which was made at from ‘e to '4e above the low prices of the day. May deliv- cry opened %eunder yesterduy's closing price at 53%c, advanced to Sie and from thence dropped s down to 5le. The close was mude atslige. July started at Sie, sold up toslie, declined to 47%c and closed finally at 47%c. August sold from 7i4¢ down to #5tée, closing at@ke, while September dropped from #%e to#e and closed at #'ge. The receipts were liberal, amounting to some 405 cars, of which 212 cars were of contract grades. The csti- mated receipts for Monday are 20 cars, There wus a good even trade In provisions all day, with o decliming tendency from first tolust. There was no commotion in the pit, as in the grain murkets, but products were worked oft by holders at every opportunity.

Cnicaan, April 25.—(Special Telezram to T BEE.] ~CATTLE—Not over hulf of the number on sale were disposed of at a late hour, and o large number was carrled over. The fizures representing the receipts do not show the number on sule, as at least 200 were earried over last night, and several londs of these were azain carrled over today for lack of anything like fair bids from buyers. Without doubt it was the slowest day this season so fur, und one load of cattie would have about filled the warket if they were peddled ont. It is useless to undertake to give quotations, as there were not a suflicient number of sales to make a markot.
