THE CONDITION OF TRADE
Business in a Jobbing Way Shows an In
crease Over Last Season ,
THE EFFECTS OF ABUNDANT FARM CROPS
Cold nndVt AVrntlirr llni nn Unfavorable
Jincrl Upon Trade , Itnnilcrlns Country
Itondn IiiipiiM.iblo nnd Drill ) Ing
Movement of Produce.
No one fully renllrM the widespread In
fluence exerted upon business by the weather
until some change In the conditions render *
that influenceunfavorable. . The past week
or ten dnys there has been n good opportu
nity to study this subject fully. The cold
and wet weather , in addition to making
every ono feel docldonly uncomfortable , has
exerted n depressing Inlluonco upon almost
every branch of trndc.
Country roads have been rendered almost
Impassable and as n natural sc < iuonco'f.irnv
ers have been kept at homo nnd tbo country
retail trade has uttered In their absence.
An oversupply of rain and mud , accompan
ied by n scarcity of customers , Is a comblun-
tlon not calculated to Induce the country
merchant to place largo orders for goods.
Accordingly decreased sales with a ten
dency to dullness is the condition of the Job-
blng'trado. The effects of the weather , bow-
over , do not end here , fanners have boon
prevented from marketing tholr surplus pro
duce by reason 01 tno unfavorable condition
of the roads and now the season has to far
advanced that with the coming of good
wiathor they will bo occupied with putting
In tbo spring crops.
The i esult will tie that the matkollng of
the suiplus of last j car's corn crop
will bo greatly delayed , nnd meanwhile
the money lied up In that , commodity will bo
unavailable for ttado puipocs.
Looking at the subject from this point of
view It Is easy to believe that no very great
activity in country retail circles can uo an
ticipated Tor some llttlo time.
f - > Grain men generally anticipate nn In
creased mnritcllni , ' of corn In Juno and July ,
and If their expectations nro realized a t.ioro
active demand tor goods may ba looked for
at that time.
It must not bo understood from this that
either the retail or Jobbinj : trade Is suffering
nnv great depression. ' 1 ho most that can bo
fiald Is that the demand for goods is not as
octlvo as it might bo or ns U doubtless uould
bo under a little dtfToicnt circumstances
Wtien wo come to compare the present
with the trade of & year ago it is uu y to
realize that u big gain has been made. In
Bplto of the bad weather with nil its attend
ant disadvantages trade this month shows a
decided gain over tbo corresponding mouth
last j oar. Omaha jobbers are not compluln-
Itie any , but on the contrary oto
gcnt'i ally very well satisfied , not only with
present , conditions , out with the outlook for
tbo future.
Jlestilts of l.nrgo Crops.
Tbo popular Idea Is that tlio larger the
crops of farm produce the better it is for
trade , as the farmers will hnvo moro money
to spend for goods of all kinds , luxuiicf as
well as necessities. Hence It would follow
that on years when largo crofs arc harvested
business must bo moro active and tbo de
mand for goods largely increased.
This Is true in a general way , but as the
term business has a very wide signifi
cance and coven a multitude of diverse.
Interests It Is not strange to tint ! that there
ate some exceptions to tbo gonctul lulc.
Last jcnr fruit wns abundant and cheap
In Nabuiskn , and It was largely utili/cd by
tbo thrifty housekeepers of tbo' state in lin
ing hundreds of thousands of glass cans.
Bo great was tbo demand for fruit jars that
dealers could not upplv them fast enough ,
and the manufacturers wore swamped with
orders. As a natural consequence grocery
jobbers have noted a less demand for nil
kinds of canned and dticd fruits than would
ordluatUy have been anticipated during a
prosperous season.
As another example wo hear complaints
from tbo manufacturers of cereal goods , oat
menl , pearl barley , hominy , etc. The jobbers
fliid that tholr customers uio not buying as
freely of this class of goodB as usual. A re
tail dealer from the western port of the state
explained the reason the other day in this
way : "When I left homo I refused to pay
lOc per bushel , in trade , for n load of ns line
potatoes as you ever saw. Do you supooso
that people will buy rolled oats nnd similar
commodities when potatoes can bo had at lUc
per bu hell"
Other examples might bo furnished of de
creased trade in special lines , duo to the
Hbundanco of farm products. As a general
thing , however , what U lost in ono line Is
made up in some other. What the farmer
eaves in groceries ho Is quito likely to put
into dry goods , or some other class of goods ,
and if not ho will use tbo money in paving
off mortgages nnd thus place himself In
Ehnpo to become a bettor customer in the
luturo.
The Oumliu lletnll Trade
docs not show as much improvement In a
general way as Interested pirtios would llko
to .see. In certain linns and with certain
dealers it Is- very fair , but retail trade as n
\\hololnckssiiap and consequently collec
tions are none too rood.
This condition of business docs not appear
to be ronllnod to Omaha alone,1 but Is ttue in
all the larco western cities. In some it is
oven worse than in Omaha and fiom what
can bo learned from traveling men it would
appear that Omaha Is really better oft in this
respect than any other largo western city.
Business men of all classes realize that
there Is a very great necessity for business
enterprises , such ns manufacturing , that will
give steady employment to moro people. The
city wants mnro consumers who will increase
the demand for eoods In a retail way and
keep moro money In circulation.
Tno conviction that Omaha's manufactur
ing interests must bo broadened out U taking
n stronger hold upon business men every
day , and hence the crowing desire to aid the
building up of local industries by every
means possible. Kvcn retail merchants nro
coming to realize that the best way to create
good paying customers is to encourage the
local manufacturers who will give steady era-
plovmontto labor.
The great trouble just now is that so many
business men con 11 no their efforts toward
building up manufacturing Industries to talk
alone. _
