In Vho west ( it this season ot the year the country ro.id Is the ' .horraomoter of trade mid nil that Is nccossar ? to ascertain the condition ot business Is to Inquire tlio liclglit of the mud on the farmer's wngou wheel. \Vlieti the mud noar.s the hue It Is safe to conclude that trade Is pratty near to the rero point and us the mud recedes toward the rim nn Improvement may bo looked for In trado. A week ago the mud on many ot the coun try roads came dangerously near being hub deep and business was as close upon zero as on active merchant cares to see It. Several wnrm niul pleasant days during the past week has diminished the depth of the mud nnd the wheels of commerce meet with less resistance. It Is no easy inMtcr for n Jobber to sell poods when n retailer has uo bustnoss , unless It bu at a tlmo when orders tire being placed in anticipation of u belter demand corn- in t : in the near future. With every thing under water find an almo t continuous downpour of rain , coupled with a feeling that the scasrn Is alrcndy oackwnrd nnd fprm work behind , thcro has bean notti- Inp In Right to Induce rotnlloM to anticipate their Immediate wants In ordering goods. A tow days of pleasant weather , however , pees along way toward restoring conlldeneo us evidenced by the largely Increased orders received by the jobbers during tuo last two days of the ueek Just closed. The fact Is that last week us n wholu showed an Improvement ever tno previous week In the volume of orders placed with the jobbers. As the season Is so far advanced and farm work already behind , the arrival of ulcasant weather will doubtless see farmers at work in the Holds , whcro they nro likely to remain until the crops nro all in the ground. Ilonco Jobbers nro not looking for any great boom , but they do antlcipalo a good , steady demand for goods. While , ns already noted , the season Is late , ihcro Is a feeling that with the ground BO thoroughly saturated With tnolsturo ' there Is 'good reason to ox poet abundant crops in the west this season and such an outlook of itself issufllelont to In spire conlldeneo In every branch of busi ness , There Is an ot tier feature which Is likely to mnko Itself felt as the season advances. From every portion of the state oomo reports of Bottlers ( locking In , Owners of farm lands ny that they have not In years hoard so much Inquiry for Nebraska forms as during the present sprngiiml ! that , too , from n very desirable class of soltlcrs. rncfcO nowcomcrs must bo fed nnd clothed nnd supplied with the necessities for com mencing Hfo In n now country. Ilonco tliero must como an Increased demand for supplies of all kinds which will amount to no small Horn. If the newcomers are us numerous ns they nave been ruprcsontcd. Tno manufacturing Industries all over the ptato are looking up and in some lines there lias been such a marked improvement that a largo number of ndditional laborers Imvc been given employment. This fact must Uooncr or later make itself felt In the general business of the state , and those broad minded merchants who have encouraged the manu facturing industries will bo rewarded by an Increased trade gained from the growing ranks of the factory employe.3. Country 1'ioiluco. Receipts for a week past have not been very liberal and good strong prices have been maintained. The poultry market especially has boon poorly supplied and all arrivals of desirable- Block have sold readily at very satisfactory figures. The season Is rattier far advanced for dressed poultry , but still occasional ship ments continue to arrive. With the weoth or co warm such stock has to DO disposed of very rapidly , but fortuuatoly thodomand has been active. Kpgs have also been in pretty good demand nnd nave sold well for the season of the year. The Inrgo number of strangers in the city nttondlng the Methodist confcrcnco must Mtimululo the demand for nil kinds of pro duce and unless receipts Increase tlio chances are good for u strong marliot the coming week. In the Irult market there is little now to cxcito comment. Apples are becoming scnrco and it is no easy matter to fill orders for Ural class stock.

Counsel man it Day to Cockrcll llros. : The wheat market was almost devoid of Interest today. Ivxyept In thu way of providing for M.iy contracts In wheat the remnant of Ion.- liquidation was completed early In the dav. causing n ' 40 de cline. Thu readiness with which elevator people absorbed offerings Indicated the Mon day deliveries would bo light and started a demand to cover local bhort sales. The attempt to do this on so dull n market caused n ? * o rally and the market closed llrmor at JJo advance. There was no especial Interest taken Incablo nows. which wus unimportant , hut the tendency Is more pronounced among speculators to bin- on the backward souson , low pnco and over sold condition of the local market , The nundlng anti-option legislation Is thu chief detriment. Corn and oats were ( inlet but llrm , thu principal features being tno buying for naar deliveries by strong local operators. Provisions opened a shade oa.slcr In sympa thy with gruin markets , hut wuru dull und yielded from lOc to I2' c for pork and 5c for I.ird and ribs , principally on local soiling fern n small scalp , Inlliienccd by the estimate of 2HJ ( ) hozs for Monday nnd 140.000 for iio.u wuuk. We think It a fair purchase on any flintier decline. CHICAGO. 111. . April 31. F. O. Logan tc Co. to Duncun. Holllngcr & Co. : Wo have a light trade In wheat as well as all oho. The princi pal trading lias bonn the selling of May und buylngof July. The opening price of July wasb'J'ac ; May about BiHc. The closing of July lsbl'iQ3lic ' ; May 8l'4c. There has been considerable speculation's to what the deliv eries would he on the May contracts on Mon day morning. This has added to thu strength towur.ljl llio close. From nil we can lonrn the deliveries will bu very llghl. For Hhlpmunls cnsli wheat stll commands from Ic to 2o promlum over May , The crop reports uro not miiuh Improved. Cables are steady. Receipts of the winter varieties are very small , much smaller than thu milling trade requires and the general sentiment Is de.'ldedly In favor of better prices. Corn has been fairly strong , thu re ceipts nro light , shipping demand good. The planting season Is now hero and wo need line wuathcr to allow It to bo done favorably. Until this is over and some Increase In re- cnlpls wo do not look for any decline- prices. Muy opened and closed at 4USc. Julv opened at ; WBe and elosnd at a'.l'.io.

The fooling is better , and has jcon for some few * weak * , but It WAS not lo bo expected that tne improvement In tnls di rection would immediately result In nny : rcat speculative activity. Money Is plenty and the rate of interest owcr but no one anticipated that Idle capital would be Invested in real estate with a sud denness that would create n boom , Capital bceklnif nn investment on n conservative basis , is bonnrt to fool its way cautiously , nnd capitalists with an eye to Investment uo not ongngo n brass band to accompany them when they go out looking for property. Hence tlio tact that mutton may appear rather quiet on the surface is not necessarily n sure indication that no progress Is being mnuo. On the contrary , real cstato dealers a 111 rm that the situation is growing more promising , that would-hc purchasers are < iuiotly Investigating property offered for sale and laying plans for Investment. It is dinicult to llml n real estate agent who does not report having in hand one or more largo deals which they expect to close up In the near future. In ether words , there Is n good deal going on beneath the surface , n con siderable portion of wnlch must sooner or later como to light. Two or three months ago this could not have been truthfully said and the fact that the situation hns , In so short utm.o , changed so much for the better gives real estate men renewed courage. This , however , is not the only source of encouragement. The outlook Is Improving all over the Btuto nnd Omaha In her roll of metropolis of Nebraska Is bound to keep pace with the growth of her tributary territory. Opinion of an i\port. : M. A. Upton , who has for years boon n close observer of the growth of Omaha and Nebraska real estate values , comments on the situation ns follows : "Thero is certainly a bettor fooling re garding realty matters this ipring than there hns been jor the past four years. Of course the miserable weather wo have boon enjoy ing ( i ) so far this year has held back Invest ments and improvements , but with the ad vent of gojil weather , which now seems assured , real estate in Omdha will bo qulto active this season , especially well located suburban property. Rapid transit Is revo lutionizing residence property and silos that in former years seemed entirely impractica ble for homes arose to speak , right in town , for it is time , not distance , that Ulngs your homos close to your business. The ideal homo Is a suburban one , wliero the air Is pure , wboroyou are free from the tumult , smoke at.d dust of the business portions tions of the city. What n sense of relief and ease it gives a man who passes the day in the busy marts of the city , where ho continually hears the hum of machinery , the noise of hammers , the rattle of motorcars and loaded wagons over the pavements and all the ether hubbub incident to down town life , to retire at evening to a homo where nit is tjulci and pcacofulness. In twenty minutes ho is trans ported from ono to the other , to such perfec tion has the age of electricity reached. "Tho best Investment today in Omaha is well solcccod suburban lots and acres. Never miml if the streets have not been improved to thorn. . You got them enough cheaper to make up for that. Only see that the sites chosen are well located , sightly ones. Streets will bo graded and motor lines built to nil the Jlno ridges within four miles oi the post- ofllco in the next very few years. Electrical appliances will bo improved , rapid transit will become more rapid , and there will bo less time consumed in going to your homo , four miles out , in llvo years from today than tliero was in going ttiroe-u.uarlers of a mile cignt years ngo. I'ann I.umlH Valuable. "Hut , to cliango from the city to the country , surely Nebraska farm lands are going to be the active realty this vear. Very lew uro aware of Iho amount of laud that has changed hands in Nebraska und Iowa in the last eight montlu. The good thing about it is that the purchasers of farm land now arc a better class of farmcra , with more money than have heretofore settled in the state. Not only is the actual farmer buying nnd improving land , but investors are buying largely , and it seems that no other- invest ment offered today can compare with that of Nebraska farm lands , for tliero is not the least doubt lhat Ihcy will dou ble and trobblo in the next' four ur live years , i am not RO sanguine as Mr. C. Woods Duvls , who hns been making n study of the food and population question for Iho last ten years , galhering stutics , etc. , from nil parts of the world , for he soys in IS'.Hi every good acrr of land that will not require moro than the uvcrago amount of furtizing will be worth I O'J ' golden dollars. Hut 1 do think that all good 'and in eastern Nebraska will bo worth from SIU to ? 7I > per aero , ac cording to improvements , within the next live years. Does this seem unreasonable , when last year's crop on many u Nebraska f 11 rm netted 10 per cent on u value of J75 par acre for the land ) "Again , if land In Indiana , Illinois nnd eastern Iowa reached n value of < , " > to fl'J.'i per aero when millions of acres Just west of it was in competition with it ut $ l.27 > per acre , what can we ex pect of Nebraska lands with railroad facil ities and close to tlio best markets and the competition of cheap land wipsd out.I For it Is a fact that every good available quarter section of land between hero and the mountains has been taken up. "The portion of the stale in which land is changing hands the most rapidly U the north- custom part along the line of the 1'acilio Short Line In Wayne , Dixon , Cedar , I'lorco , ICnox and Antelope counties. The reason of this is that In this part of the state nro Iho only cheap lands left mat are cloio to the Missouri river and within easy carrying distu-.co of Iho Kloux Cily nnd Omaha markets. Thol'uclllubhort Line has nponod up a country that was not so well known oe- forc. but wlnnh , in tact , Is one of the bujt stoclc und grain portions of Iho stale. "While ut llr t thought the fact that No. brnska Is tilling up with settlers , nnd that farm lands are In active demand , may not appear to have nn/ special bearing upon Omaha's property , it Is novorlholotf * Irue that there Is an intimate connection botwcsn farm and city real estate. A city Is depend ent upon the surrounding country which fur nishes n market for Its manufuclured product and offers n Held for nil the dlvursu coinmur- clal enterprise originating in the largo city. It follows then mat when the tributary ter ritory of u cliy ramnlns stationary the city itself can make little progress , and whan the country Improves the city will go with It. Ilonco Omaha has mucti to expect from ilie rapid growth in the population of the state as ovldoncod by the grout demand for farm lands , Kidu ItumurkH , Mrs. Hlackwcll of Muscatlno , In. , who re cently purchased W.
