{ | ] A ) y ! } { g A Y CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Oold Weather Has a Favorable Effect Upon Business, COLLECTIONS SHOW VERY LITILE CHANGE ‘Oertaln Lines Show a Decided Improve. ment in the Volume of Goods Moving, 1While Others Have Settled to a Stendy Thing Although the general run of reports re- soived from jobbers does not show any very radical change in the trade situation in this market, still it has not been entirely devoid of interesting features. In some lines of business, notably, hardware, there has been an improvement in the demand for goods, while the trade in dry goods, boots and shoes, rubber goods and similar lines has been very satisfactory. Without doubt the . colder weather has done much to stimulate demand and with a continuanceof good, solid winter weather the jobbers are generally anticipatiog a very fair movement of‘season- able goods for the balance of the year. A woather market, however, is not always w0 be depended upon in this latitude, as it hap- pens too often for the good of business that the weather is mild until after the firsy of the year. The jobbers of holiday goods have had a very good weck, as country merchants are all making some preparation for the holidays by putting in something to attract the atten- tion of purchasers. From some quarty come reports that the people are going to buy very sparingly of luxuries and confine themseives more to the necessities than usual, but so far it is not easy to note any change in this respect. Where there has been a falling off in the volume of business the shrinkiage has been pretty general on all classes ot goods. ¢ While certain lines have shown improve- ment others have remained about steady, without important change one way or the other. Thus business in the jobbing branch of the grocery trade was generally referred to as well up to the average, butas not showing any improvement over the previous week. _ There is very little indication in the trade, either on the partof retailersor jobbers, toward anticipating wants. Orders, gener- ally speaking, are for small lots of goods, but tho frequency of these orders makes up in a large degree for the loss in size. The feel- ing appears to be gaining ground that bus ness has settled down for the wnter, and that vhere will be a good, steady demand for goods, but that thore will be no rushor boom. It promises to be a demand based ai- most entirely upon the consuming ability of the country. Collections, while not so very good, are fair for the scason and about up to the aver- age. There has not been much complaint re- garding collections for the past few weels, and it is more than likely that the territory fributary to Omaha is in better shape in this respect than some parts of the country. “The bank clearings at Omaha have shown a decided improvement during the past six days, the total being the largest in a good many wecks. On Monday the clearings ex- cecded §1,000,000 for the firsc time since the month of Jul, ‘While a good deal of the gain was ascribed to the Union Pacific pay checks, which came in in very large num- bers the first of the week, the fact that a ain was made shows a healthy condition of usiness, As compared with last year there was a decrease of 16 per cent. While this decrease larger than the friends of the city would like to see it, it is small to what ather cities ave suffered. Thus the decrease in the clearings for the past week as compared with a year ago was B9 per cent for Denver; Kansas City, 24 per eont; Milwaukee, 41 por cont: Minneapolis. S7per cent; St. Paul, 83 per cent; Sioux City, 42 per cent, and Lincoln 25 per cenc. * The deeroase for the whole countyy was 23.9 per cont. There.is no doubt but what business is being injured by the timidity of that class of men. through whom the iarger operations are usually carried on. They incline to the view that after the severe experiences of the summer business cannot be expected to immediately recover the ground that was lost, but that: the re- vival must be gradual. Some even RO s0 far as to declare that the uncertainty of tariff and financial legistation will be a disturbing factor sufficient to delay the com- ;-lmu restoration of business uniil sprio; ow far this may prove to be true remains 0 be sces, but at the present time there is no question but what business is gradually recovering, aud it is reasonable to auticipate a coutinuation of this process unless some unforescen event should intervene to change the course of events in the business world.

Cincaco, Nov. 18.~Wheat made yet an- other low price record for December today, breaking to 50%c on weak cables, small ex- port clearances, heavy seiling by local traders and the expectation that the world's visible supply will be heavily increased Monday. Corn and oats were weak and each lost 1gc from yesterday's value. Provisions stood up well and closed without much change. Wheat began the day with a more favor. able outlook, opening iyc above yesterda, close. The feeling that thero would neces- sarily be a reaction from yesterday's low fig- ures helped the first traders, and lighter northwestern receipts contributed to the firm- ness. Fluctuations for an hour were confined to a range of 'jc. Butthe exports from both showed another decreaso and the began, Weak, cables also ap- peared as a bearish factor ‘and Harry Les- with other operators, sold heavily. With all this against it, the price went down until December had broken the record and rallied but !je atthe close. December at 6015c, sold oft fge, rallied igc, lost gc, sold off ijc and rallied to the close at 60c. Corn opened at yesterday's figures and ruled firm for a time. Through a local trader some one in St. Louis bought some short corn i and the price advanced slightly. With receipts larger than tho estimates the advance was more than lost, but on small cstimates for Monday there was a slight reaction. Later Wheeler ab- peared as o heavy seller and this, witn the weakness in wheat, sent the price to 'g¢ worse than ivhad opened. May opened at 401ge, climbed Ige, lost 1¢¢, rallied igc, lost J¢c and rallied !5c to the close at 393;c. Oats were fairly active, but_lower. neaviness of yesterday's market together with the sympathy with the weak feeling in wheat and corn were the principal causes of the decline. May opened #c higher at 303{c, lost 1{e, sold off %c. rathed ijc to the close at 80%c. Provisions were firmer on a better dispo- sition to buy.

NEW York, Nov. 18,—The speculation on the Stock exchange during the two hours of business today was tame or without notable feature, At the opening there was an ad- vance of from g to & per cent, the latter in Louisville & Nashvilte, which was strong on a report that tho directors were negotiating for the acquisition of other southern railway property. A slight pressure to sell in the early dealings changed the tone of the dealings, and brought about a reaction of a fraction in the general hst and of 11{ percent in Sugar, upon which the bears made a sharp attack, This was followed by a recovery of from g to “{ per cent, the market continuing firm until 11 o'clock, except for Lake Shore, which dropped 115 per cent,and Sugar, which receded o per cent additional. In the early part of the last hour a good purchasing movement was developed, under the influence of which Sugar rose 15 per- cent, Chicago Gas 11§ per cent, Lake Shore 1 per cent and the rest of the active list from I to 3 per cent, and the market closed strong at or near the best figures of he day. Compared with the final sales of yesterd the changes are very slight, being a decline of 174 ver cent in Delaware, Lackawanna & Western ana 1 per cent in Sugar preferred and Michigan Central and an advance of 11 per cent in Louisville & Nashville and 1 per cent in Northwest preferred, Some very material changes result from the transac tions of the week, the great majority of the stocks traded 1n having depreciated in value. The railway and miscellancous bond mar- ket was unusually active today and the deal- ings were characterized by a strong tone. A brisk inquiry has been developed during the week for the- best classes of railway ‘bonds and large blocks have been taken out of the street by investors. The issues which recorded the most notable ad- vances in today’s market are; Michi- gan Central 4s, 6 per cent; Michi an Central 53 of 1981, 5 per cent; [ake Shore division 7s, 5 per cent: Pacific Railroad of Missouri 2s, 2; Manhat- tan 4s consols, 1 Atchison 4s, 11, and Pennsylvania, 41s, 1 per cent. General Elec- tric debenture bs declined 1, and St Joneph & Grand Islund 1s, 217 per cont. In view of the tizhtness of money the bond market is attracting more attention than usual and the indications ave that the coming week will see active dealings m this class of securities. o The Post says: The New York surplus bank reserve, according to today's state- ment, has veached the highest figure of rec- ord. Followiag the May panic of 1984 the reserve touched $64,724,100, its maximum for for the year, Today's huge increase brings the present total up to §65,470,475. The com- parison is all the more noteworthy in that so long a period elapsed after the acute panic period of nine years ago before the highest notch was reached. The shrinkage in the bank reserve, however, which came in the latter months of 1885, was the sign of roviving cactivity in the commercial and financial markets. This summer's panic was confessedly far more severe vhau that of 1884, yet there has thus far been much less than one-fourth the period of stagna- tion which was required before the last dec- ade's complete trade revival. 1t has been very truly said that if the trades of two or three occasional operators were eliminaved from this market, fully three-fourths, evea, of the present restricted business would dis. appear. But what may be safely concluded from the day’s transaction is that the offorts of these active speculators to forve down prices heavily have faile Outside in- vostors, as last week's market proved, are not prepared to buy, but this week's markat has proved no less effectively that they aro in no haste to sell.

The figures are as follows: Cattle. Hogs. Rocelpts this week.... 4,880 Recelpts lnst weok. 802 Samo weel last year.... 3 1,884 Thero has boen a good deal of monotony atout the cattle market tho past week. upplies have been liboral and of the samo general characteristics from day to day. Really desirable beef steers continue hard to get, and, as the demand for them has beon very active, they always sold early in the at good strong prices. 'ho market, howover, has been surfoitod with common stock. Fine weather has en- abled western cattlomen to clean up their marketable cattlo ifi good shape and for that roason a largo proportion of the offer- ings have been direct from the vange. Then the inexperienced or thriftiess feeders ave beginning to send in their warmed up, short foa and half fat stock. These cuttle look all right in the country after thoy have been fed a few weeks, but they always show up bad in the yards here alongside of gooa cattle, and killers say they make the poorest kind of beof. As a vesult prices have boen very unsatisfactory on the undet grades, although prices are haraly quotably lower than a weok ago. Another circum- neo that makes trade dull and prices k for common cattlo just now is thatv the ots are now fall of poultry and game, ysters, takes tho place of beef to_a great extent, 1 While receipis have been liberal enough here, there has been a big faliing off in sup- plies'at Chicago, and the killers there have been compelled to draw on western markets for supplies. So long as this stato of affairs keeps up prices are not liable to go down very much. 1t 18 a remarkable but grabify- ing circumstanco that Chicago is thus com- pelled to help build up _rival western kets in order to maintain her own premacy. Snowed No New Fentures. The markey presented 10 new foatures. Receipts were fairly liberal s the offerings included a fair showing of v desirable beef steers, both natives and w orns.

Somo very choice cornfed native beeves brought 8535 aud whilo_good to_cl from $3.80 to $1.30. heop. n su- The under grades of both native and range cattlo sold indifferently, but at fully steady figures and the close found practically everything out of first hands, The cow market was active and firmer on the better grades, for which the d mand was very urgent, both from loc: and eastern killers, but the common canning grades wero slow sale aud rather weak.

The demand fell off and yard traders sought to hold up the market for a few days by bu ¢ up the fresh re- ceipts at good figures. The demand failed to improve, however, and the close of the week fourd the pens full of stock uand feed- ing cattle, which the owners would be glad 10 get rid of at prices all of 30¢ to 50 lower than a week ago. The decline has been heaviest on the light stockers that were selling so high ten days ago, but all grades have shared in the general demoralization, TheJeeling is very weak, but present low prices will in all probabilitv attraet buy next week and the thade pick up somewhat, Good to choice feeders are quoted at from $2.85 to §3.30, fair 1o good at $2.50 to with infe: o fair grades at $2 to §2.40, Kepresentative Sales, Av. 1033 1010 1088 1275 1220 11245 Shi 981 750 037 BBD 990 883 1000 866 905 950 798 11040 1021 BEmBERDRD Se ceer 900 111045 1 L 614 946 . 968 ke BREEE 5 11111065 111000 SICTESISIETCIeTt o 10056 759 828 760 . 780 STEPER 11050 1140 1077 HEIFERS, 664 1560 18 90 10 604 1 420 200 8 BEO 210 1 246 225 CALVES, 160 1 60 2 25 2 80 2 85 2 50 2 50 2 60 75 85 00 50 BULLS, e TOR 676 216 120 130 90 100 80 126 130 . 146 +130 . 160 .

Receipts have not boen exe coptionally heavy nor are prospects tavore able for any immediato increase. It looks as if packers had become tired of the load they were carrying, and in the absence of any speculative or consumptive demand for the deferred futures of provisions had con- cluded to bring hog prices down to the basis on which provisions were selling, re- gardless of the matter of receipts. The site uation is full of perplexitios, and the absence of any speculative interest’ is boginuing to ko 1self felt. The Cincinnati Prico Cure nt says of the woek's developments : The movement of hogs is enlarging mode ately, but still short of corresponding time Roturns and_estimates for the o the total p King in tho west ns pared with 206,000 the precedin 00,000 for corfesponding poriod T'he total from November Uis ap- 000 ~hogs, compared with Prices of logs havo had tendency “to lower values, but to the extent which packers' have o and_some of tho larger win- corns still - remain out - of the S Aro _OpPOrating on n re- position of values s not one, and unless thero is o duetion in p of hogs 1t any houses uccustomed the wiitter season will continue st open atall. Tt is not so much 1o fear of an oxcessive numb hogs during the winter months us the apprehension that the enlargement in the spring and summer nths will be equal to producing profitable rkots for the surplus winter product which must necessarily bo carried forward. Took n Breathing Spell, After declining steadily for a weok the market took u short breathing spell today, and under the influence of light receipts and alittle better inquiry from ship and speculators the decline was at least tem- y checked. Thore wero less than Tlogs on sale, and buyers all started out to gev their droves still lower again today. Sellers took heart, lowever, from the slightly improved condis tions, and while prices averaged about 100 fower than the general mariet Friday, they wi shade better than on _Friday weals close. The range of pilees was very arrow. A load of choi 0-1b. butchen topped the ar 550 aud! fow rough packing londs sold down around $.15. For fair to good hegs of all weights it was practically o .20 and .25 market, the bulk of the h oing at those figures, as against frof ¢ and from £.70 to The market closed strong; hut just 50c Jower than a week ago, 900 lower than a month ago and 40c lower than one year ago.
