Mcrchnnillse dtirltiB the past week wns-conductcil on very narrow lines In allbranches of the Jobbing trade. During thefirst half of the week a good many houses

Inking slock nnd getting everythingcleaned up for the commencement' of thenew year. As n gcnernl thing the latterpnrt of December nnd the first half of Janti-nry

-

constitutes n Oiill period In the Jobbingbusiness , during which no one expects tonell nny great amount of merchandise , so

that the results of the past week have beenIn no wise a disappointment. In conse-quence

¬

of the email amount of businessdoing the markets have shown very fewchanges of nny Importance.

This Is the Benson of the year when It

ft seems natural to look forwaid to the future ,

nnd U Is snfe to sny that while there Isalways n difference of opinion , Jobbers ns-

u rule nro anticipating a continuance of themoderate trade that charnclerlzcs the falland early winter. The low prices jirnVnl-lIng

-on nil kinds of country produce which

the farmers of this section of the state havefor rale Is tecognl cd an a Rfent draw-back

¬

by the trnde. At the same time , theterritory covered by the Omaha Jobbers IH-

so large that even with n very limited tradeIn nny section , the aggregate for the wholeterritory must bo large. There Is no nt-tempt to deny the fact that conditions InNebraska are very far from favorable , butnt the same time great things are expectei-of Irrigation In the western part of the-.state.

..

A merchant fiom Custcr county wna Itthe city the latter pnrt of the week amgave expression to what nppenrs to bu thegeneral opinion ns to the outlook In thu-liart of the stale. He said : "Our farmersnre terribly hard up , but they are worklni ,us they never worked before nnd they arebound to succeed If energy nnd solfilcnla-nre of any avail. They are working curlynnd late on their Irrigation dltcht'S In orderto have them completed by spring. Some othem are too poor to buy what clothlnt ,they renlly need , but they arc working Justhe uaine. The past season convinced thenthat there Is almost no limit to thu crops lhacan be grown on Nebraska poll under Irrlga-tlon , and another year will sec thousandof acres of land under ditch.-

Omnha.

jobbers nro many of them becom-Ing very cnlhuflnstlc Irrlgatlonlsts. Theyfigure that when the hind Is once underditch that It will require very few crops toplace the farmers In an Independent posl-tlon , when trnde In that part of the statemust bJcome exceedingly good. There arcthose whose enthusiasm lends them to prediet that the day Is not far distant whenthe western part of the Htulc will be thebest Held for the Omaha Jobbsr.

DRY GOODS QUIT.-As

.usual at the turning point of the year

the dry goods buslncfs has been of a veryuninteresting character , with the volumeof sales rather small. During the early parof the week the weather was very unfavor-able and the change to colder weather Istoo recent to make Itself felt ns yet.

The old year closed with a dull tone gen-erally prevailing In the market for staplecottons.-

In.

some lines of goods tariff legislation Ishaving Its effect because of the possibilityof higher values resulting. Holders of suchgoods are In no hurry to unload-

.HAUDWAIIK.

WITHOUT FEATURE.The hardware Jobbers of the city have nl

bJcn taking stock during the period underreview and there has been no attempt topush buslncfs. In fnct the traveling meihave all been enjoying the holidays at homennd getting samples In shape for the springtrade. It Is usually well along toward themiddle of the month before the men get on-on the road ngnn| and In the meantime ma !

orders constitute ! about all the business thaIs doing. Hall orders have been fairly gooiconsidering the general situation In the country and there appears to be no dispositionon the part of the trade to enter nny complaints.

Nothing has been developed during theweek that has any effect upon the mnrketAt thn present time production Is a littleslow , but stocks In Jobbers' and manufacturers' hands are generally reported nsample to meet nny demand that Is likely tocome with the new season.

On most lines of shelf hardware the feelIng Is generally steady , but otherwise therenre signs of weakness and it Is predlcteitaht any revision of prices will likely be-en 'the down side.

BOOTS AND SHOES.Business with the shoo houses has beenfully ns good ns usual nt this season ofthe year. The colder weather Is n morefavorable feature and the Jobbers generalljappear to be feeling pretty well satisfiedProspects for the spring trade nre certainlyvery good. Prices on all grades of shoesnro firm nnd the market generally givessigns of strength. It Is said that the smalamount of leather now In the hands of tnn-ners

-and manufacturers will be peon ab ¬

sorbed when manufacturing operations onspring nnd summer goods nre once fullyunder way.THE GROCERY TRADE.

Local Jobbers of groceries report the usuaamount of business doing at this season.As a rule , Omnha houses experienced avery fair trade In holiday goods , such nsfancy dried and canned fruits , nuts. etc.The market on olives Is higher, owing tothe decision of the appraisers appointed by

the secretary of the treasury. Under the. fin no tiuty was placed on olives.Hy the terms of the Wilson bill , however ,J per cent nd valorem duty was Imposed.The foreign Importers were displeased withthe establishment of such a duty , and It hasbeen charged that In order to avoid It tosome extent the olives were quoted on In ¬voices nt a price much lower than theirreal value , The decision declares the Im ¬porters shiill pay a. duty bused on nn In-creare -

of from 8 to 35 per cent on the valueof the (foods above the amount named inthe Invoices.The market on all kinds of Californiadried fruits , with the posslb'c exception ofpeaches , Is very llrm. Apricots nro espe ¬

cially In n strong position , the crop haviWbeen light to start with nnd the demandgood ,

MANUFACTURERS I'LKASRD.During the past week the State Hoard ofPurchase and Supplies met In Lincoln andawarded the contracts for supplies for thecemlnjr quarter. In the list of Roods weremany articles manufactured In the statennd orders for such were all awarded to thehome 'factories. The Nebraska manufactur ¬

ers carried away orders for Koodu amount-In-

); to over 15000.Ever since the homo Industry agitationwas commenced by The Ileo there havelieen some business men who have claimedthat such a move wns contrary to the tra ¬

ditions of trade and against the Interestsof merchants. In view of the eland takenby pome houses , the manufacturers arepointing with no llttlo pleasure to a circularreceived from London , ICnKland , entitled"Tho question of the Hour. " The Inside ofthe folder starts out with thu assertion :"If there bo one question of greater Im ¬portance thnn any other. It IH. How nro ourworking pejpls to bj kept employed ? " ThenfollowB the description of u larno matchfactory In London which It la said couldemploy several hundred people , now Idle , IfKrirllHliinpn would nsn nnlv tmimtiMln-matches. . On the last page occur these ex-prrFslons

facturers feel that If It Is allowable to ap ¬

peal to consumers according to the EnglishIdeas of trade propriety , they nre excusablefor doing the immo thing.-

CHICAGO , Jnn. 4. The grain mnrketwere all active nnd Etrotttj todny , the hullIsh tendencies of traders belns especiallyapparent In the wheat pit. 'May wheatouched C0? c , the highest mark for somtime , nnd closed with a net gain of74O eveyesterday. Corn nnd oats advancednnd respectively. Provisions , nfteopening strong nnd higher , lost nearly althe opening advance nnd closed 'practically-urchnngcd from last night's closing.

All the conditions and most of the newfavored better prices for wheat. Cablecanio higher , the Improvement being at-

trlbntcd In the dispatch to the polltlcanews , meaning the trouble In the Transvnal. The exports from both coasts fothe week were 3,035,000 bushels , or fullj500,000 bushels more than n week ago , am800,000 bushels more thnn tv year ngo. Thetotal available supply Is 170,000,00) bushelsor 15,000,000 bushels less than u year ngo. Thweather conditions , too , uro unfavorableas considerable crop areas are unprotcctet-by snow. The Indications seemed to war-rant the conclusion that there will bo a-If.fRo decrease In the visible supply.

The shorts showed Increasing alarm athe outlook nnd there was active coveringwhile a good many liberal traders whohr.vo heretofore been bearish seemed dlsposed to chnngc ( heir position nnd tnkothe buying side. Bo the advance wits easybut soon reached n point which stnrteifree realizing , under which there was a-decline. .

Wheat got n hoist of from Uc to ?lc pc-bu. . ns soon as the opening signal permitteethe buyers to shout their bids. The tltfitransactions were ut prices varying from6U % to COc , nnd after some active tradingnt those prices for a few minutes , the olTer-Ings being all absorbed , It shot up qulckl-to

Some heavy lines of long wheawere disposed of at from POc up to GOV cThe mnrket hero was very nervous , buwithin n narrow range after It had madIta bulge to GOVc for May nnd got badagain to 69ft. The fluctuations atter thawere conllncd to 59Ttc for the bottom othe range and CO'.JiiirOOUc , with COc Its rest-Ing place for the day.

Corn was again dull and trading conflnei-to small scalping operations. As the lluctu-atlons In May , the active trading monthwera confined within the range of 28'tc am-2SVic , the opportunities for scalping profit !

were of course slender. The severely coleweather nnd the strength In wheat causecthe firmness which resulted In V4c advanceMny , which closed at 28c yesterday , solitoday at ZS' c , nnd 2S',4c sellers was thestate of the market nt the close.

The Financier says ! The etaternent of thclearing house banks fo * the week ending Jnnu-nry 4. contains rirne rather surprising featuresTlio heavy liquidation In loans due to the flurryof two week * ngo , was shown In the precedingstatement , but the contraction has been contlnued. If the report for the week Just endcreflects accurately the situation. The decreanfor the flvo days ending1 January 4 reached 111

unusual figure of J128M.SOO , making a tolashrinkage In loans for the past two weeks oJ24OC5SiiO. The total loans have nlso fallent35,000,00i > sines the first of necem-ber , nnd have- shrunk t&7,000,000 withinthe past four mdnlh" . Part of thcontraction for Iho current week has beendue to the January dividend period , which oc-cnslons n great -deal M shifting of funds , buthe total Is mirprlftlng. The deposit Itennaturally shows n heavy falling off , the losIx-lng nearly JZ.OOO.OOO for the week. The Henof cash holdings , however , does not Feem tohave adjusted Itself to existing conditions.U that the rccclpta from the Interior for thweek exceeded the outward movement by nlm t tfi.OOO.OXi , The rrtinsury disbursementwere nlso heavy , nnd the logical conclusionwould point to n large Increase In cash by thbanks. The total for the week was only 2.000 ,Odfl , mainly specie , which Is being italhereiIn anticipation of the corning' bond Issue. Tiiestatement im n whole Is dllllcu'.t of Inlcrprctn-tlon , and Is mcnnlnglcei In some of Us moreImportant Items. One fnct , however. Is plainThe New York banks have less money In thelvaults today , taking the statement for the cur-rent week ns authority , than they have reportcisince last April , after tluy had paid henvy subscrtiitlon ? to the bond loan of February.

CATTLE The receipts of cnttlo were notEO Inrco ns yesterday , only forty-nine lendsbclne reported In. At the panic tlmu tlie-nctunl number on sate was fujly ns largens ycfterdny. As to thu inarket , there vns-a decided Improvement all along the lineand tlio day's trading , as n whole , was of-u very satisfactory character , viewed fromn seller's standpoint.

For the number hero there was n cosdrepresentation of fat cattle and some of theofferings were very desirable. The buyersacted as If they wanted the cattle and whenthe trade was once under way they werenot long In picking up the oirerlnuH. Du-slrablo

-cattle sold fully lOc higher and the

buyers were claiming that they paid n-

ICe advance In n peed many cases. Onobunch of good 1.473pound Polled Ansussold nt JI2U. the highest price realized Insome little time. Several loads of llflitercattle went nt J3.70 to Jl.W. Everything wassold early.

There were not enough cows and 'helfern-on palu to really make a maikct , the totnlofferings being only four or live loads. Thebuyers lock what there were , paying goodstrong prices. . .

Stockers and feeders wen.in light supplyand were snapped tip quickly at strongprices. Keally dcslrnble cuttle sold fully lO-ehigher. . The advance was due apparentlyto the llpht offerings and the fnct Hint therewere a few buyers In the yards , gome ofthe buyers who were In yesterday did notget the cattte that they wanted nnd stayedover. Speculators were all cleaned out ,

which made the demand still more pro ¬

nounced.The cattle mnrket has shown some llttlo

Improvement during the ivs week , an 1 Ir ap-parently

¬

recovering from the holiday flumps.There has been mora life to the trade nnd-a gradual strengthening of values. Theadvance from day to day has not been verymarked , but at the close of the week It Iseasy to note n gain of 15e to 20c In the pastsix days. Good beef cattle , especially , havetold freely during the latter half of theweek , nnd It has been no trouble to keep theyards cleared.-

Durlnir.

the past few days j feeling hasarisen f--t the turning point has beenreached , nnd that from now on the marketwill show a gradual Improvement , At thesame time It fa feared that feeders. owln-to the scarcity of money and the wnnt ofhogs to follow their cattle , will rush theirholdings to mnrket at the llrst sign ofany Improvement and force values downagain. On the other hand , .c Is thoughtthat a continued moderate run of cattlewould produce an Improvement in the mnr-ket

¬

that would encourage feeders and causethem to hold back their cattle when thereseemed dancer of breaking prices. Repre-sentative
