THE CONDITION OF TRADE

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.

The cattle market the past week litis been
lively enough to suit anyone , and prices have
lluctuatcd considerably. Monday's market
\Mibdull ana lowor. owing to tlio heavy re
ceipts , but for the ne.vt tl.reo days recclpU
were Ilirht , and , with good buying and favor-
iiblo reports from eastern markets , prices ad
vanced sharply , and by Thursday were as
lilKli us before the recent break. I'rlcliiy's
heavy run , the heaviest .since last Uctober ,
cauked another serious slump In prices , und
there was a dccllnu In boot und slilpp'ni
Bteersot from ISo to25c. The market U very
sensitive at present , and , while prospects ara
favorable for an advance , the fiitiiro eoiirso
of prices IH larKoly a question of receipts.
Hipo corn-fed cattle are probably pretty well
run out of the country , but food yards arn full
of liulf fat und Ininiatiiro ciullo whose own-
oru. bulng dl.icournnod , art ) ready to crowd
them onto the marUet on the llrst apparent
favorable opportunity. The iibundunco ol
this latter class of Htock will KCTVO as a scr-
louudraK to the markut until the run of west-
em ami grass cattle begins.

CHICAGO. III. . Aurll 30. 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.

THE RLAl ESTATE MARKET
Quiet on the Surface Does Not Indicate
Business Stagnation.
THE OUTLOOK CONTINUES TO BRIGHTEN
An Old Itrnl IXnto Dealer DUrimcs tlio
I'uluro of Siihiirbiin 1'roprrty and
> 'ebni kn 1'iiriii l.nmN The
Connection lletHcrn Them ,
\Vhllo the past week has not boon nolo
worthy by reason of nny especially largo
deals In Oinalm real estate it has by no
mentis been entirely unsatisfactory to tnoso
especially interested In the movement of
iroporty. 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 ,
