THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JUNE 9, 1902 CONDITION OF 0MAHA'S TRADE Jobbers Report the Volume of Business for May Best on Record, SHARP ADVANCE IN PRICE OF TEA Dry Goods Market Firm and Stocks of Fall and Winter Goods of De- sirable Grades Are Light in Manufeturers’ Hands. up their accounts for the month of May local jobbers and manufac- turers in nearly all cases find that they #0ld_more goods than ever before during the same month. That applies not only to eurrent business but to future bust well, so that Omaha jobbers are well leased with existing conditions, The fact hat trade is so heavy in the face of the high prices ruling on_practically all classes of goods is considered good evidence of the fact that people have money and are mot_afraid to spend it. The rains of last week, which visited a large part of the territory tributary to this market, made every one more confident than ever re- rding future business, so that prepara- lons for fall and winter trade will be pushed even more vigorously than in the ast. Taking everything into considera- jon, wholesalers say that more favorable conditions cousd not well be Imagined than those existing at the present time. nless something happens to change the situation it is predicted that the amount gt goods shipped (rom Omana this fall will r In excess of last year or of any other year. 8o far as the markets are concerned there been only a few important changes during the week under review. The same firmness on practically all lines that has been ruling for some time past Is still noticeable and it may be safely said that the general tendency of values 8 up- ward rather than downward. The demand in a great many cases is in excess of the supply and as long as that is the case rong markets must be experienced. Collections are also reported as being in exceptionally good condition. Retall trade was, of course, a littlc slow early in the spring, but now business in the country is rushing, so that dealers are able to meet their bills with considerable promptness. Sugar Advanced Five Points. Wholesale grocers report business for last week as belng exceptionally heavy and in fact some of them say it was the buslest | week of the year to date. The market continues in a good, healthy condition and & few lines have been advanced. The Bugar market is quoted very strong and active. ¥On Friday an advance of five points took lace on soft grades, and, owing to the pavy consumption, higher prices are pre- dicted on all lines in the near future. Cablegrams were received last week by local houses from Japan and China to the effect that opening prices on the new crop of tea are considerably higher than they were a year ago. It Is claimed that a ‘heavy frost in Japan during the month of pril_damaged the crop 30 per cent and a result teas are now costing in Japan per pound more than they were a year o at this time. In China the market opened 30 per cent higher than it did a year ago. In farinaceous goods the only change of fmportance {s an advance fn oatmeal amounting to 2c per barrel and cases haye advanced from 10c to 20c per case. Cheese took a drop last week, owing to the increased make, Factorles are now Ble to work full time and as pastures are in excellent condition all over the country lower prices in the near future are being predicted. Owing to the short Supply. evaporated apples are quoted a little higher than they Nere a week ago, Brunes are aiso very firm and espec! nll’)‘r is that true of the larger sizes, which are sald to be well cleaned up on the coast. There has been no particular change in canned goods, but at . the same time tomatoes “are constantly firming up and stocks are now exceedingly light. Other staple lines handled by Omaha Jobbers are selling in about the same notches they were a week ago. Dry Goods Active and Steady. ‘There has been no change in the ruling quotations on staple dry goods during the ast week. Manuiacturers, however, claim hat lher are well sold upon both cotton and woolen goods for fall. Omaha jobbers say they have good reason for belleving that such 1s the case, owing to the diffi- :ulty they are having in placing orders for winter stuff. Not only are manufactur- ers in the east experiencing a good de. mand, but Omaha Jjobbers as well are ng’ & rushing buiiness in fall goods. e distribution extends to all lines, in- uding flannels, both cotton and wool, imets, blankets, underwear, hoslery, duck lined goods, cloaks and dress goods. In fact it is claimed that orders are twice as large and more numerous than ever befo: The cloak trade {s fast coming to the front in Omaha, as one house claims to have sold as many cloaks so far this season as were sold all last year, Every one seems to be figuring that future busi- fiese ;:‘{olnlim continue far in excess of . 0Wing to the exceptio; outiook for bountitul crope. b o Y fine Current business is oleo of very satls- factory proportions. Bales last week +showed a ‘big improvement over the previc ous three weeks and a large number of buyers arrived on the market.

CHICAGO, June 7.—Excessive rains were the bugaboo of the bears today, but this session the cables also told of 'the same bad weather abroad. In consequence a little support in a dull market was suffi- clent 1o bring strength, and July wheat closed %c up. July corn %@%c higher and July oats a shade down. Provisions closed a shade to 2gc up, Wheat took a strong grip on the market early and worked its prices somewhat higher on cables and fears of wet harvests, In France the harvest is almost due and prices are advancing on an old precedent that In former times wet weather, such as tpey are having, hurt the crop much. Here ffiere were plenty bearish influences, but additlonal rains after the already heavy downpours_started covering and a good support. Bulls argued that the present low prices could be justified only in as- sumption that the yléld was to be excep- tionally large. There was very little sell- ing pressure on the market early and good buying came from commission _houses. July opened %@ higher at T24@7ke, and £0ld at 723c. Gradually the support u. the larger interests were withdrawn. The re- port that cutting was going on in the southern part of this state and that the wheat would be on the market within a week led to some selling and July slid off to 11%@i2c. After that the market haggled narrowly, with a small upturn on liberal seaboard’ clearances of wheat and flour, which amounted to 20,000 bushels. The close was firm, July 3c up at 724c. Res ceipts, 7 cars, | contract; Minneapolis and Duluth "reported 244 cars, a total of %l against 397 for two days last week and 439 & year ago. Primary receipts were 375,000 bushels, compared to 470,000 bushels last year. The seaboard reported 14 loads taken Tor export. Corn was dull but firm. The wheat strength, together with the strong cables, influenced an upturn, as did the talk of poor cultivation of the growing plant be- cause of the wet flelds. "The leading bulls ave some small support and St. Louls ought July fairly well. Prices held well, but there ‘was decided feeling that with the possibilities of a 2,500,000,000-bushel har- vest prices were too high. Most of the crowd was guessing at the attitude of the leaders. July sold between 63%c and 62%c and closed firm, %@%c up at 63i4c. Re- ceipts, 357 cars. Corn took some of the strength out of oats. Influences favored 'the bulls . Re celpts also are light, with a small per- centage of contract stuff. Today commls- sion house business was fair and July opened 3c higher at 39%c and sold to 9%, The trade was active, covering short ac. counts brought strength, but buyers of new July around 3c realized their profits and after the bulge prices eased on ab- sence of support. July closed barely steady, a shade down a t 30%@30%c. Re- celpts were 112 cars, rovisions had a dull and artificial trade, The hog market was higher on a smallef run of hogs. This gave the packers a rea- son for manipulating a little higher prices for the purpose of unloading on the out- sider. Conservative traders say prices of all provisions are too high, particularly in the light of improved receipts of hogs of better quality. January products are now selling on the basls that hogs wifl cost $6.00 @6.2. 'Outsiders, understanding the manner hich packers are manipuating the mar- are staying out. July pork closed e higher at $10.%@10.21%, and Jul 2igc higher at $10.17%. Juiy Stoy Sstimated receipts Monday: Wheat, 3 cars; corn, 425 cars; oats, 130 cars; hogs, 45,000 head.

NEW YORK, June 7.—There was no change In the several repressive influences upon speculation in stocks today and the market was practically idle in consequence. The policy of the large interests in stocks seems to be defined as one of pernicious holding until the unurrlylnfi strength of the situation emerges from the present ob- scuring influences. Meantime the profes- slonal speculators are apparently unwilling to_venture upon a campaign against values. Today some influence upon gentiment was exerted by the strike of the soft coal mMiners in West Virginia, by the Increasing difficulty of ~protecting the anthracite mines from flogding by keepiiig the pumps going with makeshift labor, by reports of too abundant rains in the corn belt and by the fallure of the bank statement to show any recuperation in the percentage of re- serve against deposits. While these facts had the effect of abso- lutely killing any demand for stocks the selling Induced was of quite insignificant Proportions and ' the light play between professional room traders, ance at the board was reduced to a mini- mum, was all that made. the day’s market, There was a lazy and halting advance of a large fraction in Canadian Pacific, Other- wise not a single leader of stocks that varled more than a small fraction. The small decrease in loans by the banks wus insufficlent to offset the decline of over $1.000.000 of cash in reserves, leaving the surplus silghtly lower than last week. There has been some liquidation of spec- ulative bond issues this week and an ir- regular tone in that department of the market. United States 2s, registered; the 3s and new 4s declined %, ‘and the 2s,’cou- pon, and old s 1 per cént from the' clos- ing ‘call of last week.

White & Co., Pedrla, 1.—Q CATTLE—There were about 500 head of cattle in the yards this morning, but only a few bunches were for sale, the bulk of the offerings being feeders on their way farther north. There was no material change in the market today from yester- day. The receipts for the week have been Quite Iiberal, as a good gain was made over last week, but as compared with the same week of last year there is not much change. A good share of the offerings ail the week conslsted of beet steers, und the quality was fairly good. It was noticeable, how- ever, that buyers discriminated against the hal at and common steers to a marked degree. The cattle that showed both flesh and quality were in good demand most all the week, and as compared with the close of last week the market is steady to strong. Handy weight cattle seemed to be in greater request than the very heavy cattle.” The best grades are quotable from $7.00 to §7.45. The part fat cattle, though, have been slow sale and prices have goué downward at a rapld rate and are now 25@50c lower than they were a week to ten days ago. Packers clalm that the part fat caitle do not kil out at all well, and in fact cost them about as much on_the hoof as the kinds that they buy from $7.00 up. The very best cows and helfers have also held up in fairly good shape, but still they are a little lower than they were a week ago. The commoner the quality, though, the greater has been the break in price. The medium to common kinds are fully 6oc lower than they were a week or ten days ago, and_the market on such Kinds 1s very slow. When 1t .comes to the grassy cows the market is still worse, and fn fact there is no estabiished market value on such kinds. Packers do not want them and it 1s largely & matter of luck what price a seller can get for them. The rea- on Is that they do not kill out as well as they will & little later in the season. Choice fat bulls have held up in good shape all the week, but the medlum and common_ kinds are considerably lower. Feeder bulls have declined Veal calves have held about steady, and so, also, have stags. The best feeders are not very much lower than they were a week ago, but such kinds are very scarce. The stockers, and espe- Clally those lacking in quality, ‘are a good Qeal lower and the demand for them i 28 Cars, SHEEP—Therc have been very few sheep on sale for the last two days, #o that it is difficult to tell much about this market, The supply all the week has been light and a decrease is noted both as compared with last week and also with the same week of last year. The quality of the of- ferings has been common and in fact there has been very little good stuff on sale for some time past. In Chicago there has been a big slump o prices all around and eepecially on ewes, but at this polnt, owing to the light receipts, prices on the better §rades may be quofed very near steady. When it comes to the common kinds thi market is of course considerably lower, none of the puckers want the part fat stuff and those of inferior quality, It {s im- possible to state how much lower the market is, as there have not been enough to make a test of value uotations for_ citpped stocx: Good to cholce wothers, 6.7504.00; falt 16 go0d, 3650 @5.75; good to cholce ewes, 50006, 1: falr to 00d, $.66G5.00; good to choice lambs, 36.35 S50, falr to good, $5.0G%.0.
