Weekly Trade Review.
Commercial circles in this city have been
quite active during the present week although
the volume Of business done is not appar-
emily as great as the week preceding Whole-
sale firms are for the most part engaged in
replenishing their stocks to meet demands
for early spring delivery which are even
now beginning to come in, and nearly all OF
tho class mentioned are unanimous in the
opinion that the present season will.be most
prosperous one. At present the tone of the
market on all leading lines is very healthy
and while values in other cities have huctu-
ated to considerable extent, prices on nearly
all classes of general merchandise have re-
mained nearly steady, Prices on grain have
remained steady during the week with one
exception, rye easing OF a point. While
there is not much of a demand for grain on
this market at present the outlook Is very en-
couraging for a new mill going into opera-
tion in few days with a capacity of fouf
hundred barrels. Omaha had, previous to tha
absorption of the Her distillery by the trust,
enjoyed an unchanged market on spirits, but
since that event prices have changed IN uni
| son with other markets, Hides and furs are
unchanged with but little doing. Other lines
of general merchandise are moving out more
| freely. II was believed that when the cut in
rates was established that prices would un.
dergo change, but none has yet occurred.
Groceries and dry goods are in about the
same condition as during last week.
