T11E CONDITION OF TRADE.
Omaha Banka nro Not Anxious to Make
Loans ,
( .
THEY THINK THE STRINGENCY OVER ,
BcTcrnl Ilcnsons Why "Money In Kept
OloHo In the Went A Symp
tom of Hemming
. Confidence.
Whatever may hnvo been the changes In
business nnd financial circles , at moro ro-
nioto points , there Imvo been no very Im
portant developments of n purely locnl na
ture. The Omaha banks remain In nbout the
Bnmo attitude ns a week ngo nnd whllo they
predict that the present month will sco the
rotnovnl of tlio last vcatlgo of n money strin
gency they nro not ivs yet disposed to
bo much moro liberal In the
matter of loans. The truth Is
that the demands mnilo upon the banks
nro heavier thnn usual , n.s has been pointed
out before. Companies representing eastern
capitalist ! ! , who hnva formerly loaned vast
sums In Nebraska huvo shut down nnd bor
rowers hnvo boon forced to look elsewhere ,
thnt l.s , to the local banks. Another cnuso Is
nlso hclpitiR to keep money close lu tbo west ,
nnd though it is of annual occurrence , it Is
felt more tlina usual at times
c the present , nnd thnt la the withdrawn !
of Inrgo nmounts of money from local
circulation nnd the sending of it to eastern
rnonoy centers , In payment of the interest On
bonds , mortgages , etc. But this very fnct ,
whllo It keeps money closer hero , Is nITordltiR
relief In the cast. In this connection n Wml
Btrcot authority remarks thnt the happiest
iiromlso of the near future is tiotshown alone
by the condition of the eastern banks , but
rnther by the Inrpo nmounts of money which
nro sure to How Into Wnll strcot and into the
business markets of every commercial city
through the payments of Interest upon hoiido'd
debts nncl dividends by corporations which ,
nt the end of the year , incut their obligations.
If nny fact Is necessary to show thnt no re
turn of stringent conditions Is likely , the tes
timony of this ouo would sooin to bo over
whelming.
The fact that the country banks in some
localities are calling for commercial paper is
regarded ns. a very favorable symptom of re
turning confluence. In the extreme east , if
tlio reports of the ilnauvlul press are to be ro
lled upon , n feeling of uncertainty prevails ,
duo to the ilnancinl measures now before congress -
\-4 \ gross , or thnt mny como up before the close
of the present session. The sooner tlieso
measures tire disposed of the sooner the way
will bo ptu-ed for tlio return of confidence.
Ills true , however , that the financial situa
tion is steadily Improving in the cost and that
money Is easier.
The Omaha clearings for the past week
show n gain over the previous week , but n do-
ercnso as compared with the corresponding
week of last yonr.
Among the wholesalers trade is not so brisk
ns many would hko to sco it , but it has boon
fully ns peed as was anticipated for the early
part of January. The mild weather prevail
ing nil ovur the stnto hns made the movement
of winter t'oods slow nud that
together with the shortage of crops in many
sections bus mndn the rotall dealers very
cnutlous about lending up with heavy stocks
of goods. For the sumo reasons the wholo-
mjrs liavo not worked so hard to force their
odsjipon the retail trade ns they might
ftdor different circumstances. The war
the northwestern border of the state
has boon detrimental to trade In that section
nnd seine Omaha houses that have been soiling -
-ing larco bills of
- frontier supplies have ex
perienced a decided fnllhifr oil.
Collections In the country are In many
raises not reported so ROOU ns before the flrst
of Jnnunry. Durlnir the fnll nnd early part
of the winter country collections were gener
ally very fair. Country produce brought
( rood prices nnd' the fanners sold what they
had nnd used the money for ibo payment o'f
store accounts and for the cash purchase of
goods thus making money plenty in the coun
try at n thno when it was close In the largo
*
cities.
In the matter of business failures Omaha
continues to bo remarkably fortunate nail no
city of the snmo slzo can show as clean a
record In that1 respect. No great failures
hnvo occurred to shako public eonllJcnco nnd
tboro have been few of any kind. In the
stnta nt largo there hnvo been more , hut
mostly In localities wbcro there wns n loss of
crops , causing the farmers to fall In meeting
tholr obligations , thus forcing the local deal
ers to suspend.
j'.s the matter now stands no very Impor
tant chances are looked for In llnnnclal or
business circles for u few weeks to como , but
it Is likely that nffalrs will drift along vorv
much ns at present until the noarcr apnroach
of spring makes it possible to prgdict
tn seine degree of cortaluty what the
firing's trade will be.

The prospects for nseasou of uulntorruptod
prosperity In the public schools of Oniuhii
nro very llattoriut' , accorillng to the opinion
of H. U. Coryell , n member of the school
board. In spunking of the outlook ho said :
"It la surprising to coimldcr
the Rreat uumbor of children
of school age In the city , and the rapid rate
nt which Unit number Is increasing. The In-
crotuo la so great that the ijuastlon now agi
tating us Is how shiill wo tnko ejiro of the
youn stcrsl Last year \vo built a uumbor of
Kinnli buildings , thus hoping to rollovo the
overcrowded condition of the bi'hoolv
Ttu-so buildlnirs hnvo been occupied
nnd the demand for moro room
Is utmost as Kiti.it as before thu now build'
Ink's were erected , so that It Is evident that
seine plan must lx ) adopted , and that era
long , to afford Dottcrcchool facilities tlinmvo
hnvo at this time.
"Tbo now building on the Paul slta h
nssurod. Thcro U enough money In the sits
nud building fund to erect this building
nud hnvo It ready for occupancy by
the beginning of the unxt school your.
As to this building , It will undoubtedly bo a
two-story brick , containing sixtc n rooms ,
similar to the Lake school building , which Is
regarded as ono of the most convenient school
houses In the country. Work upon ttil
building will eommcuco with the evening of
spring. When this U ilo\vn our sklt-l * nro"
clour , ns wo will hnvo carried out
the pledges inndo nnd broken by n
former bo.ml of education , Should wo then
go before tlio people and .iMc them to veto
tiiwn n proposition to Issue lionds , thcro will
bo no reason why they should refuse.
"Thoro Is n pressing demand for the erec
tion of the Paul school , na It will rellovo tha
Long , the Lake nnd tlio Itiinl schools , nil of
which nro now lUlod to overflowing. The
probable cost of the building will not exceed
$10,000. The Inko building cost fMtX)0 ) ,
but since then tilings tmvo changed nnd t
building cqmilly ns good cnn now l > o ctwted
for itiuoh loss. The Control school Is lu a
torrlulo condition , uuJ nt the hut mcotlni ; w
thought wo would l > o nblo to furnish soiuo re
lief. Wo had raited n store room at Twenty-
fourth street ntul Capitol avenue nud ordered
It for the beginning1 of this term , thus hoping
to tnko euro of the ovorllovv , but since then
wo hnvo loanioil thnt ivi-asnof diphtheria ,
existed In the rooms nhove ami have ordered
the superintcmlunt not to open the school.
llosluVs this , the plumhlng Is hail and the
cellar t.s n death trap , so it Is doubtful If the
room will bo used ut nil. This pluecs the
matter lu n position where there Is but ono
thine to do , and that Is to rout n lot lor ii
term of years nnd put up u tompornrv build
ing , lu this we meet with ono obstacle.
The location Is iu the IIro limits , hut I think
wo might Induce the council to glvo us per
mission to put up such a building.
"Out hi Clifton Hill a whole city has been
built up during the past year , ami something
must bo done there ns Mio Increased popula
tion has erowdeil the Walnut Hill school to
such nu extent that wo huvo
been oollgcd to partition oft n hall
and u ° o It for school purposes ,
Clifton Hill will undoubtedly have to hnvo n
four-room building before the end of the
present year , "Lake , Omaha View , Ki-mllin
and Lntlirop nro nil crowded , so Unit room Is
becoming u serious quest Ion nnd now build
ings may l.avo to bo erected in all of these
districts. In fact , the only schools
that nro not crowded nro the
Cass iiiul Dodge , anil they hold
their Own , notwithstanding the fnet that
business is crowding out many of the resi
dents.
"Tho whole mutter simmers down to ouo
fnot , mid thtit fart is thnt the population of
Omaha Is Ineivnolng ut u rapid r.ito , nud tint
onlv solution of the problem Is that we must
huvd moro school houses Iu order to iii'toiu-
modnto thosehtol children. "
S. 1C. Bpuldlnc , iu speaking upon school
mattiys , said : "Wo built six school buildings -
ings lust year , two at Central I'nrk , two nt
Saratoga , two nt Hlelcory anil two nt U.uvu-
port the previous yonr , and now wo Hml our
selves confronted by the serious question of
what shiill ivo do with the children. This of
coin-so has relieved some of the outlying di s-
tricts , but thcro Is still n crviug do-
maud for moro room nt Shornv.iu ,
Lnthrop , Amber nnd several other loc.illtlos.
Dttpont Is oversowing , whllo Walnut Hill ,
Omnha View , Long and Lnlto liavo us mimy
pupils ns they can nccmnmoilato.
"Tho Paul school will bo built early tins
season , nnd this will help matters nt the
Loup school to some extent , but it will not
glvo any too much room , as wo will hnvo to
ro-district that portion of the city , and by so
doing all of the nuildings will be Illlcd. The
I'nul location is not ns good us I wish it was ,
but ns it was bought by u former board 1 suppose -
pose we will huvo to accept It.
"It Is only n question of tiino whou wo will
linve to n bit nd on the Izuril school , ns the
building is unsafe and ought to bo con *
detuned. Wo ought to hnvo an
other brick builiiing on the Long
school site , as now wo nro using ; seven
frame buildings for school purposes ,
but it is doubtful If wo cnn reach this this
season.
The Central school is proving a serious
question aud how to relieve the overlloiv is n
stndy.Vo can rent a building , hut I am op
posed to renting. The bonrd owns plenty of
sites scattered throughout the city , nnd it
certainly Is economy to build and stop rents.
The school population Is increasing at a most
rapid rate , all of which bus a tcndencv to
convince thu members of the board that wo
must provide moro room , nnil that very
soon. "
C. E. Baucocksnld : "Tho Paul school will
ho built. I favor sixteen rooms , a low buildIng -
Ing , not to exceed two stones In hclghth.
Such a building cnn bo completed
for $ . ' 10,000 , not to exceed SW.OOO , It Is
true thnt the Lnko school cost $ .11,000 , hut I
know what I nm saying when I say that wo
cnn duplicate the building for § miH , ( ) ) . Wo
expect to open the September terin In the
new building. The money Is now In the
treasury nnd thcro Is no reason why it should
not bo completed nt mi e.u-ly diito. This will
relieve the other schools to some
extent , ns wo shall change the bounda
ries of the district , but It will not
solve the problem. Wo have got to hnvo
moro room nud I see no other wuv than to
build a number of cheap buildings. Wo
ought to hnvo at least six two-room school
houso.s , ono at the Lntlu'op school , OIHI nt
Clifton Hill and the others In the southern
part of the city. Wo must do something for
Windsor I'lntie , ns there nro a gr.'at many
children in thut portion of the city who uro
almost without school facilities.
"I think tlio 1'nul school Is the only Inrpo
building that will bo built this season , but
from present itiulcalloim wo shall he com
pelled to spend several thousand dollars lu
the erection of cheaper buildings. "
The limb \Vli-d .Monopoly.
"t don't think there is nny truth in the
statement , " said C. E. Ilurtnrlstor , secretary
of the Omaha barbed wlro works , yesterday
nftornoon , when ho was shown the telegram
announcing ( hot most of the b.u-bod wlro
manufacturers In the Unltud States had sur
rendered to the Wiishhurii & Moon uini
. "It true " continual hu "
pauy. is , , "that the
company has brought up and pretends tinau
trol nil of thu patents , but notwithstanding
tills , there nro today nearly forty llrm.s and
companies manufacturing barbed wiro.
"Last fall the Wnshburn ft Moen combina
tion brought suit mriunst our company Iu
the United Status court alleging that wo
had been infringing upon tlio ( Hidden
patent , which they claim to own. The casu
was called nnd dismissed fur want of proso-
cutlou. SIneo _ then another suit has boon
brought , hut our works wiltconUnuo toruu
until wo are forced out of the Held , and I un
derstand that all of thu other umuufiii-turcni
tnko the sumo vlow of the cn-iO. Ono thin ; : Is
almost certain , and tlr.it is , the Individual
companies will never tin up with the Wash-
bum monopoly ns long us they huvo nny
money to defend lawsuits.
There is no doubt but thnt nt the conven
tion now being held In ( . 'hlcaito the Wash-
burn people liavo made propositions of some
kind , but 1 um Hiiro they uro not of such u ,
nature thut they would bo ncccntoil. Our
company will innlto moro wire no.xt yonr tluiu
over before , but I think It will Do done nt i\
slight udvmici ) of eost to the consumer , as It Is
known that lust your the competition was so
.strong that wlro was sold at less than actual
cost. This question is ono that , will ivcelvo
serious consideration at the convention , nnd I
think nu ngrcotnent will bo iwichcd by which
nn nuvoiicu In prices will bo mudo. "
