HIE CONDITION OF TRADE.
Western Business Men Know All About the
Financial Strlngoncj.
THEY ARE BOUND TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE

Tlio condition of business and finance in
the west Is not nil that could bo desired , but
business man nnd banker.nro fully alive to
the situation , find In that fact lies the great-
cat safeguard. Country merchants and city
Jobbers , ono and all , nro awnroof an existing
stringency in money nnd nro shaphiR tliolr
business accord I ugly. No unnecessary obli
gations nro being undertaken , and so long as
that course Is followed they arc bound to ho
on the safe sldo. A wlso spirit of conserva
tism scorns to prevail ID Omaha ana ado-
termination tomako the best of the present
Bomowliat unfavorable condition of affairs.
"WMlo there may bo , to some degree , a lack ol
confidence in tlio immediate present , it would
bo unrd work to discover n wicicnwako busi
ness man who docs not look forward to much
bolter times In the spring.
Just nt present complaints are beard ol
poor collections , hut it must bo borne In mini ]
that complaints of this kind are most always
heard. In a greater or less degree , about the
holiday season , nnd the present dlfllculty ir
the collection of outstanding accounts must
not bo ascribed entirely to a scarcity ol
money. Hums of money , which it would be
Impossible to estimate and which nro tnucli
larger than mlcbt bo generally supposed
are nt this season of tbo ycni
withdrawn from ttio regular course o
trade nnd Invested In holiday poods
Individuals , running small accounts at stores
nro not so prompt In payment as usual , cm
ploying the money Instead In the purchase o
Christinas fts. All this tends to tjiaUi
collections slow , nnd nt a tlmo when monoj
Is rather tight , the effect is .moro goncrallj
felt.
In the Jobbing trade of Omaha the usua
botwcen-scosons quiet prevailed. In semi
lines of business sorting up orders nro com
Ing in from the country , hut generally speak
Ing , the movement of ioods Is not large. A
the snmo time , trade Is ns good as jobber
anticipated it would bo nnd they are not com
plaining. Colder weather might liven up tin
demand for winter goods and would bo ver ;
'
acceptable , but the benefit would fall mor'
largely to the retail dealers who have alrcad ;
put in their stocks of goods.
In eastern money centers the past week hn
not developed anything either of mnrkcd on
courngcment or discouragement , but it Is note
to bo Inferred that there huvo been n
changes. On tbo contrary , changes In tin
reports sent out , at least , have been frequent
Ono day the world is told th.it money I
cosier nnd everything hopeful , while In th
next report the pessimist comes to the fron
with the dark sldo of the picture. Just n
present the possibility of some near leglslj
tlon regarding monetary matters is said t
have n depressing effect from the very fac
of its uncertainty. The situation Is stil
further harrasscd by the number of failure
nnd the rather Unsatisfactory con
dltions prevailing In some importun
lines of trade. New York , Boston
Philadelphia and other important caston
cities appear to bo suffering moro from a lad
of conllilonco than from any actually exist
Inp causes. It is generally believed , however
over , that January 1 will bo tbo turnin
point In the road called "hard times" an
that after that date the condition of affair
will commence to Improve.
Whllu Europe , and especially London , ha
ceased to ho n disturbing element la th
finances of this country , the reports of th
past weolc Indicate that affairs on the othc
side oftho , Atlantic are not In such a cond
tion .as European 111 nanciers might wist
London , whence all the financial dtfllcultio
of the past few weeks originated , relieve
her necessities from the Hank of France
Tais money is now needed In I'Ynnc '
nnd a demand has been mndo upon th
Bank of England for a portion , at least , c
the millions advanced to that Instltutioi
Humors of financial disturbances at Uerll
were quite numerous last weok. German ;
is in need of more money and the Dank d
England has been appealed to from the
course. It is safe to say that this country 1
In" ftrily as good shape financially ns any pai
of the old world and thut in this country th
stringency In money is the least felt lii th
vest.
As hinted above the cnuso of much of tb
financial ( llfilcultlcs in the cast was tlio lac
of con'fldenco and It is only when the subjoc
is closely looked Into that the folly of thl
want of confidence becomes fully apparon
The events of the past two wceV
liavo furnished splendid opportun
ties for the pessimists to prodii
nil sorts of disaster. That the commercli
prospect was overcast cannot bo denied , hi
that tliero wns nny occasion for the stern
against which the prophets of evil tried I
warn the business world is certainly imtru
U'ho croakers lost slsrht , as they usually def
of the strong recuperative powers which tt
country's varied interests combine to pr
duce , nnd which render a lasting commerei
depression almost an Impossibility. Cond
tlons born of fear must vanish as soon i
confidence Is restored , nnd conservative bus
ness men of the east , as well as of tbo wes
have named the first of the now year as tl
limit to the season of fear. On that day the
will commence the work of nnotber year co
fldcnt of success , and while the reaction ins ;
cot bo immediate it must como.

tlio 1'crploxliij ; Problem ,
As soon ns the county commissioners con-
cued yesterday evening n motion was carried
that the reading of the minutes bo dispensed
with. After this Rev. John A. Henderson
appeared before tno commissioners nud
asked that a room bo sot aside for
religious scrVlcos in the now hos
pital rfind that tho' ministers of the
city churches bo permitted to put a free
library into the hospital.
Without any discussion the matter was re
ferred to the committee on poor fnrm.
Judge Shields reported that the county
court is without an index. Ho stated that
such a book could bo prepared In ono year , at
a cost of $1,000. This was referred.
A. J. McNair presented a petition , showing
that ho does not like the names , poor farm
nnd poor houso. Ho nskod that the names be
changed to the Douglas county inlirmary.
Uavld F. Hunter applied for. admission tc
the Soldiers' homo nt Grand Island. The ap
plication was npproi-cd , and Mr. Hunter will
become an intimate of that Institution.
The following bill was presented by H. C.
Stroblo : 1To board lug Chroimtor , who was
killed at Elkhorn , durhiR his lifetime. " The
bill was promptly rejected , notwithstanding
It amounted to only $ 'J.50. '
The question of lighting tlio now hospital
was brought up. The members of the com
mittee on poor farm had visited all of the
plants of the city and surrounding country ,
but had been unable to agree upon anything.
All of the plants that the gentlemen had sect
had worked well , but they were not roadj
to roportupon any system.
At the close of the meeting Mr. Berlin , t
member of the committee , stated that ho was
of the opinion that the poor house will bt
lighted by lamps and candles until ncxi
spring , unless the gas company should see IV
to extend ttaeir lines to the hospital nt once
'Tho elecrlo light would bo n good thing , '
said ho , "but it is too expensive , as It woulO
require the purchase of now engines ant
several thousand dollars worth of addltlonu
machinery. " *

Tlio corn market was very sick most of the
session. Nothing but the nhsoiicn of any
stock of corn hero anil the doubt about any
liberal receipts prevented the bears from
smashing the market by sol II UK short. This
'a too dangerous , because. the market
an bo so easily controlled by tlio
bull sldo. The weakness , therefore ,
comes simply from the luck of
hiipport. There was a llttlo spurt of
buying early on the strength carried from the
