CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Quite an Inoreass Noted Last Week Volume of Business Transacted. the MARKETS GENERALLY WELL MAINTAINED Owing to Fa e Bumper Corm Crop Manutacturers Ar: jras & marked improvement noted | ri ‘There last week in the vi.ume of business trana- | acted by Omaha fobbers and manu(ctur- | eors. The general impression was that the | improvement was _owmg to the more pleasant weather, which enabled buyers to et to town and for all kinds of out-door work to procesd uninterrupted. This is, ot " the time 'of year when immediate ubiness Is subOFaInated to some extent to ture business, as jobbers and manufac- turers are all busy ‘opening up their fall of s and filling thelr advance orders of the yme. In making the rounds of the trade it is very noticeable that the conf in_future business was never reater than at the present time. With a Bimper corn crop practically assured and v% a g0od yleld of small grains certain, fer %ay they do not see ‘how they can but'do an astonishingly isrge busi. this fall and winter. The orders for I that have been placed recently clearly how tallers look at t situation, h more Iiberal thai 0 or at any previous time. rule look for buyers to come on the market earlier than usual heir anxiety to get their fall fact thai ers_are in better financial ondition than they have ever been before fn the history of the western country. The great majority of them are out of debt and have a good surplus of ready cash with which to buy their stocks. For that reason jobbers are not asked to take the risks that they have had to take in the poat it is thought that there will be lewer losses this year than ever before, .n!rn“"" risks ‘that’ jobbers are asked to Are on opening stocks whers the rospective merchant has more confidence fs bility to properly conduct a retall Wtore than he has money. It quite fre- quently happens that requests of that kind are refused, as jobbers do not care to take 00 long chances. far as the markets are congerned there have been comparatiely few impor- tapt fluctuations. The bulk of the goods sold out of Omaha are quoted about the sa s they were a week ago, and as a general thing the markets are 'very firm, with the tendency upward, rather. than downward. In view of the big consumptive demand that is looked for throughout the coming season it s predicted that values on nearly all classes of goods will be well maintained and that good, heaithy condi- tions will prevail for some time to come. Southern Tomatoes on Market. ‘Wholesale cers report the volume of business for Jast week as being very satis- factory and In fact it was better than the revious week for the same week last year. ices on_most lines held about steady, but #till there were a few cha r‘ worthy of mention. One of the most important wa t ned goods, caused by Balt! more packers offering sfock packed “from tomatoes shipped In from the south. The dvent of those goods caused the price in t t to drop from about $1.60 to §I. It 18 stated, however, that these goods will not grade as standards on any market as compared with summer stock, for the rea- son that they lack color and flavor. At this point the market did not take such a sudden drop as in the east, but only eased off a little, for the reason that river job- bers did not follow the extreme advances of the east. Another feature of the canned 0ods ket was the withdrawal of the from the market dden move the trade, unable to get over one-half of the stock they wanted from that source. The dried fruit trade is still of the hand- to-mouth character.

Prices, however, average about fGc per ound higher than they did at this time st year. There has been no quotable ehange in coffee during the last week. Shipping Fall Orders. Although house trade and current orders from traveling salesmen have been of very | 1iberal proportions for this season of the year, still Omaha dry goods jobbers are giving the most of thelr time to opening ew fall lines and filling orders already on d. Thers never has been & time when merchants in the territory tributary to Omaha were as well off as they are now and for that reason local fobbers have 1d move stock for July and August ship- ent than ever before. Domets, blank-is, dress goods, underwear and hosiery are Well 801 up and many popwiar Hnee are already becoming scarce. Jobbers have. nf course, prepazed for an enormous fall bisl- ness, but present indications are that their actual sales will go far ahead of their expectations. ouse trade s just commencing and a few general fall bilis have been sold. Within & very short time it i thought that more dry goods buyers will be on the market than ever before, Traveling men say .that | any number of merchants who have alwa gone through to the east to buy thelr stocks will stop off at Omaha this year to see what thero s and wholesalers say that 1t they will only stop off they will not o any farther. As it is only the heaviest | buyers whe go east. thos. are the very le Omahu wholesalers are after, They captured hundreds of them last fall and ring._and they expect to be even more lfinnml this year. market on both cotton and woolen goods in a good, strong position and with brisk buying some advances in otton goods are looksd for by those best formed Gn the situation, Hardware More Active. Hardware jobbers report trade for last week as being considerably better than it was the week befors. Weather conditiors are doubtleas aceountable to a large oxtent | for the improvement. Hay and bundie forks are in big demand. but sl all nable ‘goods are moving out very ly for this time of the year, There have been almost no changes of tmportance A market quotations and prac- tically all lines may be sald to b in a good firm position.

Leather Goods a Little Quict.

OPTION SHOOTS UP TO SIXTY-FIVE CENTS After v Gyrations Quits Highes]| Price in Twenty Years, with Gain of Seven and One-F at nt CHICAGO, July 19.—This was another day for squeesing shorts in the oats pit. New July standa ts were excitedly bld the highest price Aside vest flelds by reason of the recent heavy rains, Other grains were bullishiy affected by the rains, but liquidation caused re- actions. At the close July oats gained 7ye September oats %e and July corn i%c, Sep. tember corn lost %G¥%c, July wheat ‘e and Beptember wheat %e. Provisions closed %c to_ise lower. It was a wild day in oats. Th largely seems to be that there Is & n: corner in_July new options. Mayor James Patten of Kvanston, who cornered May oats, fsioredited with & line of nearly 2,000,000 pu. of hew July and inasmuch receipts are very small and contract gr ing_much smaller, shorts are fearing worse conditions.' Up to & few days ago promises for a good oate harvest came to and repeatedly. The cash demand, how- ever, kept up so well that in spite of pre- dicted bad crops, prices continued to ad- vance on the sample tables. With heavy rains in the adjacent fields and reports of fallen and twisted yellow grain, shorts became panicky. The outside bought freely. The future optlons advanced sympathetic- ally and were hardly apprect by the break in wh months bave become very scarce. times they are hard to buy and the demand is always in excess of the offerings.

Wheat made very good advances early on the weather reports and light local con- tract grade receipts. July, in particular, was strong and wae bid up rapidly by frightened shorts. ~Cables| were indifferent Most of the wheat east ot the Mississippi and near the great lakes had been dam- aged to some extent by rains and mote showers were predicted. Trade was only falr after the opening flurry and when it [vas learned that the primary receipts were 1,565,000 bu., against 549,000 last year, the southwestern houses began selling freely and the sentiment turned rapidly bearish. St. Louls led in the selling. July opened at %e and closed half a cent up at e, tember opened HOMe to up at T@TKe, sold at T3@is%c, but slumped to Toie, and closed weak, %c_lower, at TI4@T%c. Local receipts were 180 cars, 27 of contract grade_and Minneapolis and Duluth reported 277 cars, making a total for the three polnts of 47 ca: nst 341 last week and 51 a year aboard clearances in wheat and flour equaled 858,000 bu. Corn _was bld up well at the start in sympathy with wheéat and oats and on the Tain Influence. The market, however, was poorly suppdrted and thers was a slump n prices until deferred futures closed under | yesterday. There was little feature to the market aside from covering and trade was light. Sentiment inclined to the bear side and all locals sold rather freely after the initial bulge. July opened ic up at 67c and closed 1%c up at c, Beptember opened 4GHe up at 61%@6i%c and sold at 6i%oe. but dipped lc from this price and closed weak, %@%c lower, at 60%@élc. Receipts were ‘445 cars. 120 of contract grade, - Total contract stuff was 200,000 bu. Provisions were subjected to free’selling by brokers for unloading packers and in consequence of a concerted effort to break prices both on the board and at the yards slumps resulted.

The realizing was renewed at the advance and the clos- lng was active and ensy. obably the reports of yesterday’s heavy rains and floods in the western states aroused some misgivings over the results to grain, There were fractional advances among the grangers and southwesterns nevertheless. Pennsylvania was the fea- ture of the market on the very large deal- ings and rose above 1), closing at . tnat ure. Mclal denlals of yesterday's persistent reports that control of Reading had been secured did not hurt the stock, but its subsidiary stocks, Chesapeake & Ohlo and Norfolk & Western, suffered from realis- ing, the former falling at one time 1% under last nigh There were atrong spots through the market, including Hocking Valiey, West- ern Unlon and some of the public ‘utilities of this and other cities. The Increase in banking reserves was not as large as ex- pected. Last week's decrease was much smailer than expected, 80 that today's f ures probably represert an adjustment un- der the average system. The decrease in lcans, including active speculation, was not looked for. The diminished reserve re- quirements thus eftected helped the surplus, which ncreased by the substantial amount of_$3,482,375. The principal activity in the bond market this week has been in speculative and convertible bonds in sympathy with the interchangeable stocks.

CATTLE—There were practioally no cat- tle on sale today, but for the week receipts have been heavier than for either last week o for the corresponding week of last year. The demand has been active for finished cattle, but when it came to the part fi d grass stuft the market was siow an 00d deal lower for the week. ‘here has been about the usual prepor- tion of beef steers on sale this week, and the cornfed steers that were good enough fo sell trom §7.80 up were strong and may be quoted a llttle higher than they were a weel 0. The top price of the week was $8.15 which is the highest price ever on_this ma The cattle that sell from .50 down been rather slow sale, and ave declined all the way from %c to bic during the week. The commoner the qual- ity the greater the decline. The grass cattle in particular were hard to dispose of, as ackgrs claim they are too soft and do not 11l 6ut well. Most of the grassers sold for feeders. It has been a long time since the market on these medium kinds of cattle has been as uneven as during the last week, In fact there was so much unevenness that it was difficult to tell much about the market, There was a heavy run of cows all the week, but the qualliy was rather inferior, There were very few dry lot cowl the market broke on what few did arrive and could be quoted 25@60c lower for the weok. The big break, however, was on the grass cows, and they may be quoted right close to §1° per hundred ‘lower than they were ten days ago. The market ra idly as it has the and as a result the pald have been very ui .

Bpeculators, though, cleaned up, in pretty fair shape this week at the reduced prices, so they will not have to carry over many cattle unt!l next week. Representative sales: OGS—There was & good Safurday's run of hogs here today, and as other points were quoted lower prices here also took a drop. The market opened rather slow and generally a nickel lower, but the feeling ew worse and the market soon became fime lower. he Packers did not take hold with much life, and as a result trading was slow from ‘start to finish, and it was late before a clearance was made. The same noted yesterday, buyers were very bearish on the packer grades and the reatest decline was on that class of stuff, 'he prime fat hogs were in the best de- mand and s the least. The better pat corresponding week of last year n_enormous decre: The gen- eral tendency of prices has been downward, but still there has been no very serious break.
