THE THE CONDITION OF TRADE. Omaha Has Many Advantagsias a Jcbbinz Point, IPATING A GOOD HOLIDAY TRADE, AN aln Market Continues Dull by Reason of the Car Blockade — Figures on the World's Wheat Supply. in a rotail way, is com may be some The holiday trade, mencing to opdh up, though it days before the rush will set in. As noted earlier in tho soason, dealers gonorally put n liberal stocks 1n anticipation of large oliday demand. It 1s still too early to form any decided opinion as to whether their ex- pectations wilt ve realizea. Just at present a cold snap would bo ap previated as tending to stimulate tha demand for winter goods of all kinas. Tho fobbing trade of Omaha is in & most satisfactory condition, but does not present any especially noticeable foaturss, The fact remains that O:mahbaas a jobbing point is forging ahead at a most satisfactor: The country is rapidly finding out that there are many advantages to be dertved from buy ing in Omaha—advantages that the cannot afford to lose, Che market on country produce has not been very active during the week, Tho ten- dency of tho market has been higher on eggs and also in poultry since the ola stock was cleaned up. Buiter has been weaker and prices are below what they were wealk ago. T'he grain market Las been very slow owing to the car blockade. As soon as that can bo raised there is every reason to expect that tho market will show’ considerable” activity During the lull in the movement of & speculators have been amusing thomselvos by figuring on the wheat supply of the world According to Beerbohm of London, says the Bulletin, the world’s crop in 1801 was about 13,000,000 bushels greater than the world’s crop for the year 1500, and more than 61,000, - 000 bushels greater than the crop for tho year 1580, His ficu for five years in thousands of quarters (cight busheis) may thus be compared : All Ot 181,550 Europe. Tot 13 1801 150 1880, , 1888 ™ 1887, 110,008 Against Ill(‘\fl flnurm Mr. Beerbohm esti- mutes a consumption increasing annually by 1,750,000 quarters, but he considers tbese hie'figures 1mplied by the natural increaso of the population.”” According to theso osti- mates, the cousumption was 266,250,000 quarters in 1887, or 15,868,000 less than the crop, which would imply that 126,000,000 bushels above the ordinary supply was ried over; that corsumption in 1858 was 000,000 quarters, or only 2,386,000 iess than the production, but even then tho stock car ried over would have veen increased about 20,000,000 bushels. But in 185, with an estimate of 269,750,000 quarters for consump- tion, the deficiency was 8,120,000; 10 1500 with an estimated consumption of 270,500,000, the doficiency was 3,340,000, and in 1501 with ap estimated consumption of 272,250,000, the deficiency would bo 2,050,000, 1t will bo noted that the figures for 1800 and therefore for 1501, on Mr. Beerbohm's own assuwption, should have been each 1,000,000 quarters greater, a mistako appearing m addition, Here are added by Mr. Beerbohm 6,000 quarters, or 45,000,000 bushels on account of increase i population in five years, aud if tho addition were corroct the amount would be 56,000,000 bushels, Even 1o the United States, Canada and Australia, such rigid es- timates according to population do not hold good when there is a largo variation in the price. But1n Kuropean countries it seems entirely safe to suy that a moderate differ— ence in prico would affect consumption far more than the entive guantity added for the fivo years Perhaps wo shail see this very vearif it does not. Assuming uo annual Increase for the Old World, the stock on hand from previous crops for this crop year would bo considerable, and even Mr. Beerbohm on his account for five years makos it over 4,000,000 quarters. But'he reckons that the one feature which “mak the pre ent season one of an extraordinary character 18 the great deficiency in the European ryo crop.” This deficiency must of course to some extent be met by the use of wheat, but reasons have been given alveady for doubting whether the poorer classes, accustomed to the cheaper grain in large part because It is cheap, will find extensive use for wheat, chl 1s the dearer of the two. Beerbohm's estimates of production for the past three years way be repoated without especial attempt to criticise them, and toey are said 10 be based upon official duta in tho cyse of all countries except ‘Tur. key, Syriaund_Persia.

"I The Ltussian preliminary estimate is a triflo less than the figures given by Mr. Beerbohm and other differcnces might bo suggested. But the table has a value because it is u full compitation prepared by » recognized author- ity in grain statisties. At a glunce it will be vealized that, if this compilation is only measurably neur the truth, the wild stute- ments 50 often repeated and published here a fow months ago about o world's deficit of 1,000,000 bushels or more, deserved less at- tontion than thoy receivod. At all ovents the markets of the world appear to ho more nearly in opinion with Mr. Beerbohm thun with any provious compiler of roal or sup- posed statistics, and & noteworthy failure of powerful combinations of capital to ud- vauce the price here or abroad, although very Iarge quantities are supposed to have been taisen and carried on speculation, looks much a3 if the persons most doeceived ' by specula- tiva statistics this year wero the speculators thewmsely 5 OMAHA LIVE SUOCK MARKET.
