The Week i'm Business.

AT the close of last week matters relating
TO Omaha business were in q somewhat
complicated condition owing to the strike on
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy. The
action of the Santa Fe engineers did not tend
to increase the confidence of dealers, and to-
gether with fears of q similar action on the
part of employees of the Union Pacific the
feeling which had hitherto prevailed in rela-
ton to a large increase in the volume Of
business was somewhat disturbed. The past
six days has, however, witnessed a change,
and those who were, at the time mentioned,
very respondent are now the most sanguine.
They have ample reasons for this change in
spirits, as affairs arc in a much better condi-
ton, and the feelings Of distrust concerning
the ability of railroads to deliver freight has
disappeared. Orders are being filled very
rapidly, and, Notwithstanding the fact that
there is not the usual prompt delivery before
the tie-up on the Chicago, Burlington &
| Quincy, goods are being delivered very
rapidly.
Groceries, dry goods and general merchan-
disc dealers all report business as good and
| collections which are generally quiet at this
season of the year, az very fair.
Prices on staples are generally steady,
| there being of course the slight fluctuations
which invariably occur, but no radical change
has taken plade during the week Just closed.
A comparison Of prices shows smoked meats
to be at present H9Ac lower than on Janu-
airy / lard about $sc, coffee 4c and sugars
4@]9c lower. While at times values
have ranged above the figures indicated, a
! general review of the markets show the
| tendency to be toward lower prices. The
leading lines of dry goods are taken as a
whole a fraction higher than on the period
indicated when cambrics were quoted at 416c
the price at present being sc. Sheeting,
which then ranged at 64@20c, is now quoted
at 6%@21c. Flannels on January 1 were 20
@35c, at present 20042c. On some articles
| prices have ranged downward, but the gen.
eral tone of the market is higher.
AT present prices on lumber are lower
| than they were thirty days ago, which is due
to the reduction in rates prevailing on all
| roads between Chicago and Omaha, but an
advance can be locke for after tomorrow
when they are restored.
The other lines of general merchandise are
about steady and business quite brisk with
prospects increasing as spring. opens
Retail business is good, dry goods men and
| grocers reporting a marked increase while
| clothing firms all aver the city state that al
though an improvement IN trade is always
looked for at this period of the year, the in
crease this year exceeds that of last by at
least 1915 per cent.

G LIVE STOCK.

CHICAGO, March 24.-[Special Telegram to
the BEE. l-CATTLE-Trade was slow and
prices weak, some statesmen rating their
sales substantially lower than yesterday
morning, but not much 1--WE than the close.
Although there was q large number Of cattle
sold yesterday, shippers taking half the re-
ceipts, a thousand or more were carried over,
making plenty of cattle on the market for a
Saturday, and the market closed dull at a de-
cline of $4,000 as compared with prices Mon
day last, or one weak ago. Steers, 1850 to
1900 lbs, s4.oO@5; so; 1900 to 1850 lbs, $500
$4.40; $50 to 1900 lbs, $3.10@3.75. Stockers
and feeders, s2.35@3.75 cows, bulls and
mixed, s1.25d3.50; bulls, 2.40@2.60. Texas
grass steers, $50 lbs, $40.
HoGs-Business to-day was brisk and
prices fully as strong as yesterday, with here
and there an advance of about a nickel on
butcher weights and heavy. Light sorts
were not in as active demand as yesterday
and sold a shade lower. At the close 5000
BIS was about the price of prime heavy and
&. 4505. so for butcher weights. Mixed sold
ut S5.30@5.35 and light at IS. 10@5.35.
Omaha daily bee., 1888-03-25

Western Union also wunt of 1 point.
Brokers supposed to be working for Gould
and the big shorts bought heavily and turned
the current upward and a rally Of points on
Missouri Pacific and q on Western Union
were recorded at the close. Despite the sharp
fluctuations sales Of Missouri Pacific were
only Is, 800 shares and Western Union IA, 200
shares. st. Paul was reported split into
and anxious to sell out, but, although prices
not only on that stock but the whole list de
clined, they rallied quickly, in sympathy
with the leaders, and the majority Of active
stocks closed A@k pei cent higher than yes
terday. The bank statement made a more
favorable showing than expected, the de-
crease in the reserve being s599,025. This, in
connection with the shorts covering, assisted
in the rally. The total sales were 49, 46
shares.
GOVERNMENTS - Government bonds were
dull hut steady.

To-day's market was literally supplied for
the last day of the week, there being fifty
three loads on sale. The general quality of
the hogs was a decided Improvement over
the day before and as high as $685. was paid
for the best load. A few sales were made
early IN the morning at about steady prices,
but the market may be said TO have opened
sc higher. 1t gained IN strength until it was
all Of 5@10c higher. The market was active
and all the mornings receipts were sold by
10 O'Clock. The b, & M. train did not arrive
until afternoon and then IL met with a lower
market. The reported decline in pork taken
with the fact that it was Saturday and
everything would lave to be carried over
until Monday, caused a decline on the hog
market. The market closed with the adj
vance Of the morning entirely lost but with
everything sold.
