The demand, however, is showing considerable improvement. The effect that the bill which passed the senate on Thursday will have upon the early spr.ng trade will be watched with much interest.

Trade with Omaha dry goods jobbers was of very satisfactory proportions last week, as there were many mofe buyers on the market than could reasonably be ason of the year. A num- r of them were among the heaviest buy- ers of the semson, so that the total sales for the week make a very gocd sbowin This continued heav very pleasant surprise to local h the managers have been saying weeks past that practically all o buyers nad placed r ‘orders. ‘Irade | the country s ri moderate us yet owing to the fact that the weather hardly been warm enough to make bu 88 very active.

Travelin men are taking a good many nice fall orders and say that unless something hap- pens in the near future to change the situation they will go ahead of thelr rec- ords made last season. A good many of the merchants who have been In the city recently have placed good orders for fail oods at the same time they bought sprin ines, 50 a8 to make sure that they ge the goods they want. The dry goods market has not changed materially during the last week. The ten- dency of cotton goods is undoubtedly up~ ward, as those who are best posted say that t many lines are still not on a parity wit price of cotton and that pri tically, sure to advance in There Is still much tall: about the expected shortage of desirable lines of cotton and it the demand comes up to What i ected jobbers say that late buyérs will surely be disappointed, pring Goods Moving Freely.

Not only are the mills slow about filin their orders, but so also are the raliroa siow about’ making shipmenis 1o "t connection a local jobber said that a load of goods that he was in a hurry was shipped from the Pittsburg district January and did not arrive until a few da ago, having been on the road over two months.

Rubber Goods Selling Freely. Rubber goods of all descriptions are still very popular. There is not the rush, how- ever, that was experienced a week or so ago. The demand, though, s fully as large as could be expected and promises to cone tinue.
