CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Both Immediate and Future Business Up to the Usual Btandard. SUGAR MARKET TENDING UPWARD Some Advance in Cotton Goods and Indications Point to a Continued Firm Mar- ket for Some Time to Come, Reporte: esent Local jobbers and manufacturers had a ®o0d average trade all last week. A8 com- pared with the corresponding week of last year jobbers found they could offer no complaints and as the prospects for the futute are also full of encouragement every one seems to be satisfied. From the country some complaints are heard regard- ing the lack of warmer weather and the need of rain fs also beginning to be felt in some localities to some extent, but still no one is alarmed and all things considered the general business situation is very satis- factory. Retallers are confident that in a very short time there will be a marked improvement in the demand for spring and summer lines and as soon as that takes place wholesalers will naturally experience an increase in their trade and also an im- provement in_ collections At the present time traveling salesmen for local houses are devoting most of their attention to future business and according to all reporta they are meeting with very flattering success. Retallers seem to be in- clined to buy early owing probably to the fact that the outlook for future business | encouraging and also to the fact that prices on practically all lines are very firm, with the tendency upward rather than down- ward. To most retailers it seems a safe proposition to buy at present prices, as there is not much chance for values seek- ing a lower level, while they may go con- fernbly higher. The markets as a whole are In very much the same position they were a week ago, though a few changes worthy of mention have taken place. Slight Advance in r. Refined sugar advanced e last week and the market is quoted strong at the ad- vance. The period of heavy consumption s now close at hand and atill further ad- vances would cavuse no surprise. Quite an increase In the demand was noted last week as compared with the week before and a steady increase is looked for from now on. Holders of raws in New York are asking a full i over market quotations and claim they will not sell for less. In farinaceous goods the market on oat- meal advanced quite sharply owing to the high prices ruling on grain. Syrups are alfo in a very strong position and higher Prices are looked for af most any time, The canned goods market continues very firm and particularly is that true of smail frults. The demand for dried fruits is much more satisfactory than it has been of late and holders in California report fancy lines of peaches, pears and apricots as being practically cleaned up, and the market 1s advancing on the low grades. Prunes remain about the same s they were a week ago. Evaporated apples, owing to the liberal demand and light sup- ply. advanced W@io during the week On_account of the high prices ruling on the raw fiber the market on sisal rope is very strong and a sharp advance is looked for In the near future. So far ns the business situation s con- cerned local jobbers say that the demand for all staple lines of groceries is very satisfactory and compares very favorably with the same perfod of last year. Cotton Goods Still Advancing. The market on four-yard cotton goods, which has been practically the only weak spot in the cotton goods market, firmed up last week and is now ke higher than it was two weeks ago. It Is stated on good au- thority that some heavy transactions for export shipment have recently been com- pleted which has relleved the market con- siderably and leading lines are being held more firmly than for some time past. Other cotton goods continue strong and advances in many lines, Includlnfl well known brands of staple prints, are looked Qr by those who are In a position to know. any leading houses are advising their customers to make purchases of fall goods as early an possible and it seems to be the eneral opinion_ that those who buy Can- ons, Shakers, Domets and cotton blankets will make no mistake, as a short supply of those lines Is looked for. Large manufac- turers. clalm that owing to the high price of cotton they will not make up goods in excess of their actual sales, Local jobbers state that orders for fall 0ods are now being placed freely and that rade 8hows quite an improvement over ast week. More buyers were on the mar- et last week than during the precedin ‘week and orders both direct hroug! traveling salesmen were larger and numerous than for several week: #00n as warmer weather se improvement in the demand is looked for In both a wholesale and retall way. Hardware Moving Lively. There was no particular change In the ‘hardware market last week. There were, of course, a few minor fluctuations, but nothing worthy of speclal mention. The eneral markel {s in a good, strong posi- lon, with the demand fully up to the sup- ly, so that the outlook for firm markets or'an Indefinite length of time is as favor- able as ever. The demand continues very active for all seasonable lines and local houses had about all the business they could comfortably handle last week. They were handicapped to some exteat by the difficulty experienced in getting prompt shipments from manu- facturers, but still this market is well sup- plied in most lines. According to all re- ports recelved from the country there is an active retall trade in spite of the fact that farmers are very busy with their spring work. Present indications point to a cony tinued heavy demand throughout the spring. Leat! The leather Goods a Little Quiet. ods trade has not been ex- actly rushing for the last few weeks, but il this Is a between season period and tobberl do_ not expect much . immediate usiness. The only trouble seeffis to be that the weather has not been enough as wear into warm et to bring lightwelght foot- emand. Women's lines have nmvid maore freely than men's, but with the first appearance of warm weather it is thought there will be an enormous sale of and especlally of low shoes. A g-up orders are being recetved b ocal jobbers, which indicates a good brisl trade a little T on. ‘Travelin are still pounding away on fall business and are meeting with good succas. Bo far the number of orders taken in excess of the number booked up to this time last year, 8o that no one has any complaints to offer on that score. The rubber goods trade is also quiet owing to the lack of rain. There has been very little rain 8o far this season in most sections of the country tributary to this market, that it may be said that the bber business Is at a standstill. eling men are taking a good man: fall orders and are greatly emurl{“ over the outlook for future business, he situation, lhou,h. is better in this imme- diate section of the country than it is in the far west. A traveling man for one of tho ‘local hous ho Tecently returned the far west stated that in the states of Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon the mildest winfer on record was experienced, and as a result retallers have a good share of their last winter fiocks ou hand. There was enough snow n the mountains, however, to supply water for ifrigation during thi retallers think spi nL ness this vear will very sadlstactory’ Another feature which will help out re- tallers in those states is the big tide of im- migration which has set in. In view of that fact local jobbers figure that although their fall business will be late that it will nevertheless be fully as good as it was a Year ago. summer, so that a4 mer busi- L s and Produce, Fresh fruits and vegetables are now com- ing on the market quite freely and as a re- sult local jobbers report a good Increase in the volume of business.

MARKET SEMI-ACTIVE AND NERVOUS Opening Bulge In Wheat and Co and Close Leaves Fi Up—Oats Advance, but Drop Back to Starting Po are CHICAGO, April 19.—Fears In the minds of grain speculators over the weather con- ditions produced another nervous market today on the Board of Trade. Bulllsh sen- timent predominated, though trade was not brisk, and_at the close May wheat had gained %@%e and May corn W@'%c; May oats stood unchanged. Provisions closed unchanged to ¢ lower. Wheat was ruled by the weather. People who sold late yesterday on the rumors of rains bought fn hurriedly at the opening when dryness was reported again an caused a sharp advance. The small north- western and primary receipts also caused alarm to shorts and Induced good buying at times. Traders were firm in the belief that the whole future of wheat prices hinges on the molsture that may or may not come to the rellef of the winter crop in the next ten days. For some days the dry weather has been discussed, and as days go by without the needed rain the situation grows more critical and complex. Southwestern news 15 generally bullish Not only is the winter crop fuil of dan rous possibilities, but the story Is now retty generally circulated that there will Be’a ‘very serious shrinkage in the area of spring wheat in the states. Cash wheat Is and in the interior, and this consid: caused holders to'stand firm to shipping business was done here tod the export demand at the seaboar called poor. These worked against the early upturn, but exceptionally largs clear- ances of wheat and flour—7:%,000 busheis— {ogether with the big bullish tactors brought a good raily, May ope ned S@%c to 4 G%e advance at Tige to Tike, and soon sold to 74%c. A dip to T4ie followed on profit-taking, but the situation was strong and May closed %@%c up at 74%c. Re celpts were 40 cars, none contract; Minne- apolis and Duluth reported 108 cars, a_total for the three points >f 143, against 186 last week and 307 a year ago. Primary receipts were 198,000 bushels, compared to 32,000 last year. Australlan shipments were 248,000 ushels for the week, against 472,000 bush- els the corresponding week a year ago Slgns point to a marked decrease In the world's supply next week, Corn trade was only falrly active In spots. The opening was i4@%c higher in sympathy with the wheat advance, but the demand was not brisk enough to sustain the better prices and selling was free with the local crowd. After the opening bulge the market became a scalping affalr and rices eased to last night's closing figures, Blatistics were still ‘bullish, howeyer, and rice of feed became something of a bull- sh character. Cash offerings west contin- ued small and receipts were 79 cars here. There was some talk of a better movement, but conservative traders persisted in thé opinfon_that there could be no liberal re- celpts here. Cables were indifferent and the sample trade was dull. May corn sold at 62%c, eased off to 62c and closed firm, % @%c up, at EZRGRY. Weather was the feature in the oa market. Drouth and the higher prices pos- sible for feed influenced good buying early for investment and short accounts, Wheat and corn aided in the advance. July and September both had good upturns and held much of their strength, From appearances there is no longer a fear of a corner in May. May opened at 43%c and closed un- changed at 43c. Recelpts, 143 cars. Weakness ruled in provisions, with pork much lower, ribs inclined to follow pork three northwestern growing scarce here and lard falrly steady on packers' sup- port. Liquidation and weakness of the hog market, In spite of a small run of ho caused ‘the declines. It was reported that the weakness of hogs was due to manipula- tlon by packers T ain strength was a feeble offset. May pork closed 20c lower at $16.60, lard - unchanged at $9.75 and May ribs T4@i0c down, at 80134 Estimated receipts Monday eat, 46 cars; corn, 100 cars; oats, 160 cars; hogs, 32,000 head.

NEW YORK, April 19.—The policy which has been consistently followed durifg the resent speculative campa.gn of large buy- ng and bidding up of some one prominent stock as an effective leader of the whole market was maintained today, with Union Pacific as the favored stock. No new con- sideration was advanced as a reason for the buying, which carried the price up o 107%, where it closed at a net gain of 2% Under cover of this sustaining iInfluenice there was an active speculation in all parts of the list, The movement was accordingly active, as taking of profits went on side by side with new buying in a way char- acteristic of an active speculation. Many speclal stocks were undey manipalation by separate pools and some of the industrial speclalties made sensational movements. International Power touched 168 and fluc- tuated \'97 feverishly. Chicago, Indlan- apolls & Loulsville was erratic over a f more than § points below last Canadian Pacific was very stron and there was a notable advance in Unite States Reduction. General Electric was depressed by the strike In the company's works, and Bugar showed the effect of the vote {n the house of representatives to re- scind the differentlal duty on refined sugar. Amalgamated Copper found some support, but was feverish. American Snuff, Kansas City “Southern preferred and Minneapolis & Bt. Louls made unexplained advances. The loan contraction by the banks shows that the resources for the week's specula- tion have been secured from other sources, resumably the trust companles and the orelgn money markets. The money rate has remained suffictently high to invite further lending here by for- elgn houses in spite of the demand on money markets Incident to the issue of the new British loan. The large over- subscription of that loan is evidence of the abundance of money seeking investment, and the fact of a large American partici- pation In_ the subscriptions without ad- versely effecting the foreign market, at a time when commercial bills of exchange are scarce and when there is large selling here of securities for foreign account, must be accepted for striking evidence of the large remaining credit resources of this center in forelgn market The market has no help from the crop prospects, regarding which the grains have reflected ‘misgiving. Long dreaded reduc- tion In the Amalgamated -dividend passed almost unnoticed In the general animation of the market Bonds showed some decline In activity as the stock market gained, and there were sharp reactions In some of the highly spec- ulative issues.

For the week receipts have been light, as a decrease 18 noted both as compared with last week and also with the same week of last year. Packers have all been anxious for supplice and as a result prices on most lines have held up in good ape. Pe’ bulk of the recelpts this week was made up of beef steers and the quality was unusually good. The demand was best for the heavyweight and for the light- welght cattle of good flesh and quality. Cattle answering to that description can safely be quoted a little higher than they were a week ago and in fact they are at the high point of the year to date. The top rice of the year, §7.00, was pald on Friday Por ' choloe bunch of heavy export cattle, The first half of the week the tendency of prices was downward on all kinds, "but toward the close the more desirable grades sale a test of the market regained all the loss and more, too, while the medium welght cattle just about re- gained the loss. Good to cholce cattle are selling from $6.40 to §7.00. Falr to good ca tle are going from $5.90 to 36.40 und com- moner grades from $.75 down. The cow market has been very uneven all the week. The first three days the tend- ency of prices was downward, but on Thirsday and Friday the best grades re- gained almost all the loss. The common and medium grades, however, are lower. As compared with the high 'time, which was the first part of last week, values are 25@M0c lower, the greatest decline being on the less desirable grades. Good to choice cows are selling from $1.50 to $6.00. Fair to go0d are quotable from 33.% to $4.80 and the commoner grades are selling from $.7 down. Good to cholce bulls have sold about as high this week as at any time, but the commoner grades have been neglected and prices are o little lower. Veal calves are &lso @s high as at any time, as a good many veals are selling as high as 37.00, Good stags are steady, but others are if anything lower. he stocker and feeder trade has not been very lively this week. Recelpts of stock cattie have not been very heavy, so there have been no very serious breaks in the market. All Kinds, though, are lower for the week. The very best heavyweight and also the choice lightwelght catfle have not declined very much, but the common grades of all welghts are a drug on the market, as no one wants them. It s thought that the lack of demand is pai tially explained by the fact that farmers are beginning to feel the need of rain and clipped | as long as that is the case it is not ex- | pected that they will buy very many stock cattle. It would take a cholce bunch of cattle ‘o scll up to 3.00 and a good many cattle that could be called choice have sold for & good deal less than $.00 during the last few daye. HOGB—The receipts of hogs were mod- erate here today, there being 5,600 fresh and some 400 head left over from yester- day, as compared with 6,500 yesterday and 660 a week a The conditions were practically the same as yesterda, market opened fairly active on good welght hogs and steady to strong, while the light and_trashy hogs were all the 6c_lower. Good heavy hogs sold gely from $1.00 to §7.15 and as high as $7.20 was paid, which 18 the highest price of the year, Medium welghts sold mostly from 3690 to #7.00 and the light stuff sold from 36.90 down. There was a fairly early clear- aiice of ‘the good welght hogs, but, the seme as usual, the lght stuff was v slow sale and it was late before everything was cut of first hands. Packers will hardly take the light stuff at any price and sellers many times find it almost impossible to get even a bid of that class of hogs The tendency of prices has been upward all this week and Friday proved to be the high day, when the average cost of all the hogs sold was $6.95. The total advance for the week amounts to about lsc, which car- rles the market to the highest point reached since the year 1883. Representative 3 . 8h. ¥ No. Av.
