There was closa on to 30 cars of steers on sale this morning, und, while the mar- ket was not particularly’ active, packers Dbought up the more desirable_binches at Just about yesterday's prices. The common and half-fat stuff was slow and draggy and in some cases sellers found it dificult to dispose of that kind at what seemed to be steady prices, There were only about 20 cars of cows on sale today and as packers wanted a few the market, particularly early in the morn- ing, was stionger and quite aotive. Hayers evidently had to have a few cattle and an a result they pald good, strong pri in order to get the more desirable bunche The medium grades did not move quite a8 freely, but stlll they brought close on to eady prices. Canners also sold in just out yestel y's notches. Bulls, calves and stags changed hands without much diffioulty at steady to strong prices. v There were very few feeders offered to- day, and, although it fs the last end of the ‘week, when not many are wanted, any- thing at all good sold today at very ‘satis- factory prices. It s the choice cattle, however, that are wanted and the common stuff 18 ‘hard fo move, the demand from the country for that kind belng very light.

Among the many who are seeking to take advantage of present prices to provide themselves with homes, a large number have not the means to pay cash for what they want. To meet the needs of these some means should be found of providing funds under some simple system and at the easiest possible terms to be used only by home buyers.” It 15 pointed out that a considerable portion of the many inquirers for cottages and small residences during the winter months consists of people who have from $500 to §1,000 lald aside. The money is standing to their credit in the banks, or is readily avallable, but is.only sufficient to buy a lot. The balance of the money must come from other sources. In a large measure the building and loan associations are meeting the requirements of these homeseekers; but many peopls, often without any valld reason, are afraid of the methods of these institutions, and they continue to pay rent Some real estate agents will make butld- ing loans at from 5 to & per cent interest purchasers of building lots. In these the lot is pald for in cash and a mortgage is given by the purchaser to en able him to erect the house. The money thus borrowed is paid out by the loan agent only for building material and labor, but there is sometimes a danger that the money will not be carefully expended and the Interest piles up a little beyond the borrower's capacity. These two methods, however, | much to meet the demand, and better undersiood the systems perhaps there would be less delay In getting the homes which they are seeking. The con’ ditions are much the same when anyone seeks (o purchase a lot with a house on it as when he plans to bulld for himself. Nevertheless, it Is a matter of common comment among men who are in the real estato business that a large number of those who are now inquiring and wanting 1o buy do not fake advantage of the exlst- ing opportunities of adding to their own available capital. It {s to better meet the desires of these people that a system in some features less complicated and as at- tractive as possible to the borrower is sought for. Under careful supervision, the use of money in such a way Is a conserva tive form of investment®and though not ylelding large returns n the form of an- nual or half-yearly interest, it creates a larger class of homeowners who help fo make the city solid and permanent, and the benefits of this will come indirectly to everyone concerned are dolug it buyers Flgures Too Low.

Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade will say Business | east, and particularly Along the tie coast, has heen catehing up with the rest of the country u little this week, so that in the few iines whera complaini has been heard iocally of late the tone i better. This comes from the working off of retail atocks which own- « fenred would have to be carrled over il next season. In buflders’ hardware the buving has been notably better and the distribution in the grocery jobbing irade has heen given u considerable stimu- lus. Even the laggard dry goods market Tias shown 4 good measure of improvement, though in cotton goods there 18 still much to be desired, for the larger buying has not brought any improvement in general lines, and iy some directions the market i slower thun a week ago. From the interior advices are almost uniformly favorable, with A very heavy movement of general merchandise and farm implements over the northwestern rafls Activity grows more pronounced In wool, sales at the three chief eaatern markets a gregating 858,600 1be, for the last week, against 6,072,600 in the previous week, and 280340 4 month ago.

There g little evidence of a bet- ter demand for goods, and while soma hol ers of wool are ificing stocks in order to make room for the new clip, the actual supply 15 not materially decreasing, Pu chases are larger because of the feeling that prices must be near the bottom, and thig impression {s deepened by statements that the average {s now down to the polnt from which the great advance began in 159 It 18 not down fo that point by more than e, however, although a few grades are nearer the price on May 1, 1809, than the general average, Unless manufacturers re- cefva larger orders and reduce excessive etooks befora supplies are augmented by another clip, it {s difficult to see why prices should advince, even if they are at the level of two vears g A The other large textila industry ‘Is in not much better condition. Instead of being 10 advance prices of cotton goods in portion 1o the hizh quotations recently made for raw cotton, the mills are meeting with light demand, and even at the re- duction to § cents for print cloths there s no activity. Many mills have aiready re- stricted operations and more will stop spin- dies on March 1. When the raw material was advanced to the highest price in ten vears it could not destroy the law of sup- pIy, demand and prices, which uitimately rentores an_equilibrium. ' On Tuesday a de- cline of §13.75 a bale from the top point had occurred, making it possible to manufacture at a profit, but this does not help mills which have goods on hand made from cot- ton purchased before the fall to the lowest price in clght months, Footwear is firmly held at unchanged prices, with good bu s of spring Iines In the Hoston market Western trade is less active and some or- ders have been countermanded. Leather is firmer, with exceptionally large sales. No diminution appears in the movement of fron and steel products. Mills are rushed with orders and new contracts are taken at full prices. Pig iron is freely bought and prices tend upward. Billets and other par- tally manufactured forms are firmer, and finished goods would command high prices if immediate deliv could be secured, Structural shapes are still a feature, with large operations pending in bridges and track elevation. More coke ovens are added to the active list, making the output much heavier than at ‘any recent date. Lumber and materials are in good demand owing to extensive preparations for spring bullding and at Buffalo there ls specfal activity on account of hotels and other work In con- nection with the exposition. . ain markets are ievold of ‘wide fluctu aithough many reports are cfrou- regarding the condition of winter wheat. It 18 too early to eecure definite information and traders are not_influenced by rumors. News from India and Australia indicates a larger crop than last vear.

Owing to a misunderstand- ing as to the location of the lot some figures were given which were clearly too low. The lot lies between Poppleton and Woolworth avenues, and several appraisals were given in the bellef that it lay north of Poppleton and facing low ground across the sireet. But for this mistake the ap- praisements would have varied from about $900 or $1,000 up to $1,500. This range is suficient to indlcate B divergence of opinion as to prices that can be obtained, but members explain this in & measure by saying that flures are given on different bases. The idea of these appraisals last year, whén they were a regular feature of the weekly meetings, was that the figures should represent the price that an intending buyer would be likely to give after looking the market over to find at what price he could obtain other similarly situated lots, There have been no appraisements at these weekly meetings for several months and probably many members gave a figure that repre- sented what the seller would be justified in asking. I either case, however, an average witl give a valuable indication of the market, and Mr. Harrison expresses himself as eatisfled with the expression given by the members on his lot ““Theres cannot be any exact uniformity," #ald one real estate man. in talking of this, “for none of the members have ex- amined the lot for the purpose of ap- praising it. They are given complete de scription of the surroundings and they all bave a general knowledge of the loca- tlon, but thelr judgment I at the best rather a hasty one.’ Real Estate Ba Although the attendance at the banquet of the Real Estate exchange was not equal, to expectations, the turnout was good and there was a general feeling of friendly mutual interest, which the members are #till talking about. The speeches reflected the oplnions of some of tho best-posted men in Omaha on real estate condltions and the pessimist felt himself out of place.

It seems fo be a hablt with some people to set oul every once in a while with an indefinite idea that they would like a change, but without knowing what they want, and they wander aim- lessly from office to office—simply in- quiring “Have you a house with some land near 1t?" asked a woman of one well-known real estate man this week. “Yes; we have one in the north part of the city with five acres.” “How much rent do you want for it?" “Twelve and a half dollars." “How many rooms in the house?" “Seven." ‘Have you any land without & house?" “Yes; In the southwest part of Omaha, in five and ten-acre tracts.” “You haven't a smaller plece?" “'No; we have nothing else just now." “Thank you." And the “shopper” walked out Asked what the woman wanted the agent replied: “Nothing at all. I sized her up as soon as she came In. If she had been in earnest, too, she would have put her questions differently. She would have told me first of all how many rooms she wanted in the house and how much ground she wanted around It, and probably she would have asked for it in some particular lo cality.” Just at this point the door opened and a seedy-looking man, with a strong breath, entered. He wanted a small cottage. “Yes? Whera are vou living now?" was the agent's first question, and, belng told, he followed with “And is your rent all pald up for that house?"' “Well—er—that {s, no! The people T rented from wouldn't take $18 today and 1 only owed them §20." “Ob, then you were several months’ be- hind. Well, when you bring me a lefter of recommendation from the people you are renting from now I will let you have a house." And turning away from customer, the agent explained that this represented another class of “shopper” people who would not make desirable ten- ants “A few years ago’ he continued, ‘‘we used not to be so particular about whom we rented houses to, but since the adop- tion of the Real Estate exchange ‘rules for renting’ things are different. There are still a few agents who do not exerclse the same care that they should do In these matters, however, and sometimes any of us is llable to make a mistake. We al ways require one month's rent in advance, but cases have been known where people have gone to the Associated Charities for n few dollars to pay their first month's rent, and have then secured a house which they will occupy for three or four months and then leave without paylng anything more and perhaps try the same trick over agaln. .
