THE OMAHA DAILY 3JEEs BUND AT , JTEHHUATIY 27 , 189s ! * 11 CONDITION OF OMAHA'S ' TRAD1 Jobbera Eopoit a Very Gratifying Consuming Demand. MONEY REASONABLY EASY IN THE COUNTRY Ijocnl lletnll Trnilc Hliinvn Improve mcnt In Mnt All Depnrliuciit * . In cident to the 1'lrnr.nntVrnlhcr Iliink CIcnrlnuM 1-nrnc. The Rcncral business eUuntlon Is nil thn could bo asked for or expected at this sea eon of the yonr. As a matter of Tnct tli pprlng season' la some distance off unit retailers tailors nro not thus far doing much buslnts for spring account. At the same time It 1 too Into to expect much demand for wlrvtc Jncnlmiic1lse , no/that to a ccrtnln extent I J ( ho between ocasotiH period. Howcve the weather of the Inut week wns so pleas ant thnt shoppers were enticed forth In lais numbers and the streets In the retail ills trlct of the city xvere Uironpo.l on most day of .tho period under review. While the buy Inn ' " "an not mi liberal as on some occasion when there Is n special demand or Induce mcnt ouch a la jlkoly to accompany tli euddci > change In the character of tli weather , there was nevertheless a very ful cpiisiinilng demand , and the total velum of business for the > week was of very satis factory proportions , Money seems to b gradually growing easier and the who ! nltiKi.tlon as regards the local retail trad Is steadily changing for the "better , ait-r clmnls without exception ppcak In a mos norwruli tone and every one seems to b thoroughly convinced that Omaha Is enter Ing upon a period of exceptional prwporlty Down In thu Jobbing district .there U n food liiisliic.xH doing. In fart It ba hern o long Hum nlncc a jobber of Omahu 1ms beet heard to report anything but a satisfactory business So far ns can be judged from observation nntl from the reports of loading representatives of the trade there Is nothlm In itho nature of a boom , ( but just a gooi Jrtemly btifliicJS doing , which Is entirely sat iKfjctory to nil parties concerned. The vol lime of orders coming to hand from the country Is not of sulllclent proportions tu cause a rush , but It Is large enough to keep every otio busy , and thnt Is all that anyone ono lian reason to ask for. The condition o country roads has been something of i drawback , as the tendency has been for tht fnrmcru to st-.iy at homo. In ti good mini } localities It has been Impossible for the farmers ors to huul their produce to market , owlni , to the muddy roads , and for .that . reason the country retail trade. In certain localities * has not boun as good as might othcrwlsu 1m vc been the case. In the country at large activity In spring 'business ' 'would < 'em to have cominencct Boniort-hat curlier than usual. According to the commercial agencies there have boei very large galas In bank clearings during the last two weeks In all sections of thu country and the outlook seems to be ex cecdlngly bright. EXI'OIITEIIS WANTED. The demand that has sprung Into exist ence for export cattle nt South Omaha dur ing the last few days Is an encouraging feature of business at that point. The country seems to be tinder the Impression that the best kinds of cattle cannot be marketed nt South Omaha as 4110 packer ? arc not prepared to handle very many of them , and accordingly the custom of send ing the boat cattle to Chicago and shipping the moro common grades here has become very prevalent. As a still further Induce ment freight rates to the moro distant mar- Itct nro In some Instances more advan tageous. Armour & Co. , however , have taken the matter In hand and have promised to buy export cattle at this point. During the last week everything that would dc for that purpose met with ready sale ami U Fiitlsfaetcry prices. The giowth of the sheep market at Soutli Omaha continues to excite a good deal of Interest and 4hat department of the mar- ) cct la now ono of thu most Interesting. The great oheep barn Is one of the sights nt the yards most attractive to visitors and during tl.o morning hours Its Interior pre sents n most animated view. KLONDIKE CHAZI3 IIIOLPS TUJSINESS. The discovery of pold In Alaska Is hav ing quite an Important bearing upon busi ness In this as well n.s In other localities. Local factories have received largo orders for various products to bo uwrt In the far north and us the spring- season draws nearer to hand rush orders are anticipated from various sources. It Is estimated that last year nt least 10,000 people went Into tnc regions where Bold had been discovered , and that each of them on an average , required , on a low estimate , JTXK ) for transportation and outllt. Thla would foot up at least f.r > ,000,000 spent In supplies of various kinds. Everyone Beems to think that nt least 100,000 pjople will go to the Klondike this spring. Assum Ing that each one will require n $500 outfit It will bo seen at once that the demand for Btich nuppllcs as may be required for such nil undei taking will bo something enormous , Jn addition largo sums will bo required to build boats , open new roads and Improve "ho means of transportation. Taking every thing Into consideration It has been esti mated that at least $100,000,000 will bu In vested between now and early summer In the search for gold. Omalm Is already feeling the effects ol the Impe'us ' K-VCII to trade by the demand for Klondike goods and manufacturers are fully alive to the opportunities presented and more Klondike business ? will doubtless como this way before the season ends.

CHICAGO. Feb. 26. U was a weak day In wheat. July at ono time was off IHc ami Mny 2c. Closing prices showed a cent do- cllnc In both options. It wns a narrow market , and the weakness \vns due moro to lack of support than to the news wlitch , however , favored lower prices. Other mar kets were barely steady nt slight declines , corn and oats closing lie lower each ami provisions declining 2ugi5c , pork being the weakest thing on the list. For a few moments utter the start wheat , compared with the weakness It developeel later , wns fairly steady. July started He lower to lie higher , at from SOlic to SO'ic , nnd .May He lower nt $1.03. Lelter's brokers appeared to have some supporting orders In July nt the sturl , nnd for Ihls reason thnt month showed steadiness until May wi'akened badly. Then July followed. Trad ing In May was very light. There were u peed many mores selling orders than the limited demand could take care of , the result being a decline to $1.02. A reaction to $1.02- % followed , then the market broke again , and worse ) than before. May this time going to $1.0114. The continued In creasing production of contract wheat by the mixers apparently affected May. Forty- three cars of No. 1 northern were reported out of private houses today , nnd twenty-two cars from regular sources. Most of the routine news favored sellers. World's ship ments of iT.OOCUW bu. were looked for next week. Liverpool was from Utl to % d lower , and crop reports from California and India , especially from the latlcr country , were very favorable. The day's clearances from At lantic porta were equal to 322,000 bu. North west receipts were light at 10D cars , against 212 last week anil 230 a year ago. Chicago receipts amounted to S3 cars. The weakness which developed In Mny was soon reflected In July. There was a good selling out by people who have been "tailing" on the cnm- p.ilct. , and who had become discouraged by tlu recent downward turn to the market , and prices. In spite of the Loiter support , declined steadily. At SSVic for July the mar ket hesitated for a time. A period of dull ness Mid narrow fluctuations set In , but about half an hour from the close the mar ket developed fresh weakness under re newed selling of small lines , July gelling down lo Sic , nnd May. which had In the meantime rallied to $1.02 , declined to $1.0114 * Shortly before ; the close Lelter's brokers again gave the market some support , this Urn ? in Mwy. the buying of a line of about 100.000 bu. being sulllclent to cause u rally In that option to $1.02 ! , which was the closing price. This rally also Inlluenceel July t ) n limited extent , stopping the sellIng - Ing pressure , and starling a. little covering , under which the price got back to SSUiff ESe , where It closed. Corn wns well held , despite the weakness of wheat. There wcro plenty of selling or ders , but offerings were well taken , several of the larger holders Increasing their lines , nnd prices did not drop much. A good cash demand was a factor In steadying the mar ket. May ranged from 23&5/29T4C to 23 > S'W6c , and closed lie lower at 2/4c. ! ) ' The feeling In corn was reilectod In oats , nnd prices suffered but little. Same weak ness was shown at the opening , but there were plenty of buying orders nt the slight decline. Trading ns a whole was limited. Cash demand wns reported fair. May ranged from 2C'fce to 2uMj2Gc , and closed Vic lower at 2Cc. A large trade was done In provisions. Soiling , especially of pork , was heavy. The market at first was well mtpportcd and even advanced for a time , but the effect of the heavy liquidation wns ultimately felt. SellIng - Ing was mostly by commission houses. At the close May pork was lac lower at $10.3T ; May lard , 25 lower at $5.17'A and May ribs , 5c lower at $5.07' .

The stock market was llstlera and without decided tone today. The net changes were trivial In most cases nnd the mar ket moved p and down within a narrow range. London buying gave a slight upward Impetus at the opening , and , then prollt-toklntr by yes terday's buyers drove prices below last night's level. The close waa * bovo the lowert , but net changes were much mixed. The course of prices waa unsettled anil ccr.illctlng In the llnal dealIngs - Ings , some Btocka moving upward and others downward simultaneously and apparently with out manipulation. The whole of the trading wns by email room traders , and large operators wer apparently content to eland by for the present and watch the v/nirse of things. Some of the stocks wcro notably firm all day , sucJi as the Reading and Erlo Issues , Northern Pu- clflo preferred nnd some of the southern nnd southwestern roads. Canadian Pacific also ruled higher. The bank statement was without par ticular cfffot ns the conditions disclosed had made themselves felt during the week. The heavy decrease In loans Indicates liquidation on the Stock exchange , but probably docs not fully measure | t , 03 the loans which have been called have been In part replaced In time loans and commercial paper. Prices of standard stocks tire 1 to 6 per cent lower than a week ago , declines In the FPCCU- Uative bend Issues arc 1 to 3 per cent lower , government bonds are V4 to 3 per cent lower , call moUy'raten ' have risen from 114 to 3 per cent and exchange has fallen to the gold Import point , with { 2.200,000 engaged for shipment or on pas sage. This In brief represent * the changes in the financial situation from last Saturday. Prices of stocks ore considerably above the low point of Thursday mornlner , when the downward plunge took on panic conditions for n time. The week's drastic liquidation In the stock market wns 'forced ' by the markingup of call loans , Ccmlng on a market poorly supported because of the threatening outlook of the Cuban ques tion , and with many orders to pell out long stocks , these offerings precipitated a decline that wiped out all margins ami brought a torrent of stocks on nn nlready weak market. From n technical standpoint the stiffening of money rates precipitated the decline , The higher money rales were In turn due to withdrawals of cur rency from New York banks for shipment to the Interior. Competent export authorities differ ns to whether this movement of money to the In terior Is to be attributed 1o the preparation for tliu regular spring settlement , and Is thus to meet regular business demands , or whether It la a cautious safeguarding by Interior banks against A possible * ncel growlni ? out of present complica tions over Cuba , An agalnBt the latter view It Is now considered that Interior banks are permitted uy law to count an In their legal reserves a cer tain proportion of money In New York Imnks deslgnute-il as depositories , the same as though it were In their own vaults. . It Is also true that there ls an Increasing amount of commercial paper offering at Interior financial centers , re- llcctlng a growlnc demand fe > r money for biisl- ncii ! purposes , and donif nils exchange nt Interior points hnn Iwen against Neft * York. The Cuban question was , of course , the direct Incentive ) for very large offerings of stocks nnd bonds , but he forced liquidation v/Kf largely nugmentexl by > ho expanding ures for money In fields either than speculation. The hardenlnit of money has been preimptly followed by a fall In exchange and an Important movement ot gold , the Mock of exchange available to be thus drawn upon ; > elng estimated ell the lyjiy from $10t 0 , y ) to ( M,000.000. The London BVirktt lias steadily re fused tn take alarm at tluiiban complications and has persisted In a&tpfrjfecurllles in fncu of the violent decline ln il/ufr prices.

Of those reported In there were sonic thai were not on sale so that the offerings were extremely light. Ileef Steers Tlio few loads of fat catllc met with renely sale nt nominally steady prices and the pens were cleared nnd the yards deserted nt nn early hour. No choice cattle wcro offered so that there * , was noth ing to put a top on the market , but as high as JI.40 was paid for some heavy cattle rather on the conrslsh order and $1.45 for lighter weights. Hutchors' Stock Only about a half dozen loads of cows and helfors were offered for sale and thay soon found their way Into the hands of local killers. The prices paid did not show any material change as com pared with yesterday's record. Stock Cattle As usual on a Saturday the volume of buslne'Ss doing In the feeder division wns very limited. There was not much demand and few caltlo on sale so that the trade was devoid of any Interest ing features. The Week The week opened under quite favorable conditions as regards the market on beet cattle. In fact so favorable that values were In most cases 60100 higher than the close of the previous week. The ad vantage of sellers , however , proved to bo only temporary and on Tuesday , when the arrivals were larger a shading of values occurred , especially In case of the common and medium grades. Still larger receipts anel most unfavorable advices from other selling points occasioned still further sin Ink- age In values on Wedneselay , whlcb proved to be the low day of the week. On Thurs day nnd Friday values reacted and the week closed with values fully ns good ns at the opening and a little better than at the close of the previous week. An export demand has sprung Into ex istence during the past week and Armour has a buyer hero who has been given liberal orders. Unfortunately the kind of cattle wanted have been scarce. A very con siderable proportion of the receipts at this point Is made up of half fat steers , many of them so wanting In Ilnlsh that the feed ers are buying them to be taken back Into the country to bo again placed on feed. Only well finished cattle are wanted for export and such ns were to be had met with ready sale the past week at current prices. Tno country bought quite freely of stock cattle and feeders. The supply of feeders consisted almost entirely of warmed up cattle that were shipped In for beeves , and though the Influence of the break In beeves was felt In easier prices for such the country was a good buyer nil Ihe week. Stock catties weighing GOO to COO pounds are In the best demand and good cattle of such weights meet with ready takers ut seemingly very slrongprices. . As high as $4.SO was paid for some near Ihe close of the week , which will give un Idea of the strength of the market. Heprcscnlatlve sales : NATIVES. nnEK STEERS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. I'r. No. Av.
