THE CONDITION OF TRADE
Joblcfj and Manufacturers Doing a Good
Business.
COUNTRY COLLLCTIONS GENERALLY GOOD
Tim Itctttll Tnxilo of Onmliii Continues
Jtntliai ( Jnlct Seine of tlio Cnuici
for thu Prevailing Cunilltloiii
Noted.
The trade conditions prevailing In Omahn
nt the present tlmo supply n subject for fre
quent discussions among business mon. That
the Jobbing trade of the city should show a
ijalu over all previous year * at a tlino when
the rotnll busluost uf the city Is slack may
Boom at llrst thought rather strange. Tbo
fact Is , however , that tlio jobbers are obtain
ing their business from the country merchants
of Nebraska und the surrounding status , tbo
Rules to the local retailer ! bolng compara
tively small.
The knowledge of this fact naturally sug
gests the question why should the retail
trailo bo uctlvo in the smaller cities of the
utato and not In OmabnJ This Is the pbnso
of the situation which business mcr. urojlis-
cusslng and which tboy would like to see
changed.
Whllo tbero Is naturally a difference of
opinion , still it Is generally admitted that
the conditions prevailing In Om in i aw clue
rather to u variety or n combination of
causes than to any ono loading cause , though
tboy may nil bo traced to tbo same source.
It may not bo out ot place to look mow fully
lute this mattor.
It may bo taken as a soli evident faot that
when the rotntl trade of any city Is dull It Is
iluo to thu luck of sufllclnnt population to
suyport the number of retail establishments
in uxIsteiiLU or to n scarcity of mon ay among
the people , 01 to both causes combined. In
other words the retail trnuo of Omaha is
dull bccpuso there are not enough man at
work In thu city to maKe business uctlvo for
all thi } retail stores.
No great number of mon hare boon thrown
out of employment at any ono time out tbo
different brunches of business are so Inti
mately connected and so dependent upon
each other that the discharge of a few mon
In ono plnco will eventually deprive u Rood
many other men of work.
The delay In publlo Improvements has kent
a crcat many labortngmcn out of work and
forced many to Inavo tbo city , or roauccd
them to a condition where they have boon un-
nolo to buy uiora than the bare necessities of
Ufa.
Ufa.Every tlmo a fnmlly IB foroea to move out
of the city they leave behind them an empty
house. Empty bouses doprc.ss rents , tbo low
ering of routs discourages building opera-
tious. The decrease In building deprives men
' employed In tbo building trades of work , and
curpentorfl , masous , slono cutters , hodcnr-
rleri und othur.s are lorcod to look clsowhcro
for employment. This again leaves msro
empty bouses , still further depresses routs
and discourages building.
The conation In building depresses the
lumber business and the yards are forced to
discharge a gooJ many of their employes ,
teamsters , yardmen , oftlco help , etc. , thus
leaving 31111 more empty houses or families
reduced to straightened circumstances for
want of employment.
The absence or Idleness of all tnoso pcoplor
makes business unprolltable for the smart
rotnll stores In tbo outlying additions of the
city und forces them out of business , thus
leaving empty store rooms and stopping the
erection of that class of buildings.
The decline In building operations also
lulls the mill business. Tbo time was when
thuro wcro a largo number of plaining mills
running In Omaha and furnishing employ
ment to n small army of workmen. Many
of thcso mills have closed down and their
employes ara scattered.
Again the depression In rents making it
unpiofltnblo for mun to buy and improve
-property for renting purposes sups
the Ufa of tbc real estate business
mid depreciates all kinds of real
property. Keul cstato Is low In Omaha ,
probably lower than it will otcrbe again ,
but speculators will not take bold of it
KO long as improved property cannot bo
rented to advantage. Hero again may bo
observed tbo effect that depression In ono
line has upon others. Tbo quiet prevailing
In real estate circles discourages real estate
agents and loads them to seek more inviting
fields.Vh90 there wen ) not enough bouses
lu the city to supply tbo demand aud a build
ing could bo ranted as soon as the founda
tions wcro laid , real estate was booming and
several hundrca men found protltablo em
ployment in connection with tbo real estate
business.
Examples almost wlthoutnumbcr might 00
btoughtup showing that the present , qulot
nrovaillng it : almost all branches of purely
focal business can bo traced to tbo absence of
n hiifllclent number of working people to
support , local enterprises already established.
if this is the prlrca cnuso , and tboro can
bo no mistake about It , the remedy Is to he
found in the employment of moro men
In tbo o ty , The lillir.g of the
cmuty houses would slitTon rents ,
an advancu in rents , mnltlur the rental of
property prolitable , would cause u renewal of
building operations and bring back the men
connected with the building trades. Thus
thcro would bo a movement all along the line
mid lor every hunurcd men given employ
ment at lirst another hundrot would lit.d
work In tbo different branches of trade
benollttod.
It docs not matter in what line the man are
employed BO long as tboy receive good and
Btcudy waccs.
The question with business mon Is bow to
furnlbli work for moro men than are now
employed. A great many look to all manu
facturing Industries for relief , and nrpuothat
Omaha should cncourago the location of
factories. A few largo factories or a greater
number of small ones would bo a help to the
city and would place the retail trade on a
good and permanent foundation. Tbo ques
tion Is how to gut those factories started.
The manufacturers themselves are In a post-
tion to bostunswersvch aqucstlon.andas thov
uro personally Interested in the development
of the manufacturing resources of tlio state
they may bo able to suggest sorao new plan
that will stimulate enterprise in that direc
tion. It will talio time , however , to tncrcnso
iho number of workmen In tbo factories and
tlio commencement and rapid prosecution of
publlo works has been suggested as the best
means of affording a temporary relief.
I'ho conditions at present prevail
ing in Omaha cannot always con
tinue and a change must to mo
sooner or later. II nil the local Interests would
units with and act vigorously and In har
mony with the manufacturers wont could bo
found In the factories for several hundred
more men than nto now cmployod and the
retail trade could bo uiado as flourishing as.
tbo jobbing trade.

What tlio Miiiiur.icturori Are Saying anil
Doing.
There Is said to bu a growing tendency
among manufacturers to sell to the retail
trade direct instead of through Jobbing
bousos , A great many of the largest and
most successful Omaha manufacturing iirms
have tboir own men on the road to drum tbo
retail trado. There Is only ono way that
local Jobbers can discourage this method of
doing business , and tbat Is by handling the
goods mudo by the city factories in quanti
ties largo enough to make It aomo object for
tbo manufacturers to keep their mon oft from
tha road.
ThcO.naha basket factory reports that the
grape crop tn this section will bo large and
tbat the demand for tholr baskets Is active.
ITlvo or six cars of excelsior are used in
Omaha per week. The Omaha bubkot fac-
torjMs looking Into the matter and If it will
pay they will put in the machinery necessary
for its manufacture.

Omalm being the center of distribution for
a largo section of the wust It would euam as
If this was a most advantageous point for a
manufacturer to locate. It Is rcasonnblo to
believe that In the near future numerous In
dustries will bo started hero that now have a
homo in the cast , and tbat they will prove
dmlnoutlv successful.
The manufacturers of Nebraska and tholr
employes have ono common object of interest
which should always bo kept IB viow. The
manufacturers are Interested in increasing
the demand for homo made goods because it
civos them an opportunity to Increase
their business. Tno laboring man Is
anxious , to.BCD a good demand for goods
of homo manufacture bocnuso It keeps
iho factories running full force and Insures
him steady employment. Tlio worklngmcn
of the city and state ara In a position to help
themselves in a most offeutivo mun nor. By
alwiiya purchasing goods of homo manufac
ture they will bu Increasing the demand for
those goods aud hoip both themselves and
their employers.

With iho opening of full business tbo Man

an active campaign In favor of bomo made

association IB to Induce Nubraskani to pur
chase Nebraska made goods In pratnronco to

Industrie * . It has beuu nuggcstcd tnat tlio
association might accomplish a good deal by
employing a llrst-clats uiun to call upon tbe
retail trudo In all bruucUoa and urgoupon
merchants tha advantages of carrying homo
iiiuilo goods in Block. Such a roan would be
provided with a Hit ot the goods mudo
by the members of tbo association. If
ho called at a frocpry lore ho would
luaru ivbm kludi otop , flour , starch , etc. ,
were carried In stock. If ho learned for ex-
nmplo that the grocer was not handling Ne
braska starch ho would inqulro as to the
reason and urge him to no to , and ho would
tncn notify the two stnrch factories that nro
members ot tbo association of the result of
hn Interview. The starch factories could
then solicit nn order In the usual way. The
represontltlvo of the association would not
nttomnt to tnko orders , but. only urge upon
tha trade that thcv handle homo made goods ,
leaving the dealer to buy from tbo manu
facturers who would glvo him the best
tormi nn the most satisfactory goods. This
plan of oparattng has boon pronounced prac
tical by n number of manufacturers , nnd If
elaborated an'd worked out In nil Its details
and then closely followed , It might bo pro
ductive of a gruat deal of good. Its success
would depend 41 good ccal upon the man who
mtcht bo Boloctod to carry It out.
W. H. WonwIcK has on exhibit In the
basement ot 704 South Sixteenth street an
Inrmbator manufactured in Omaha. It Is In
actual operation and tbo chickens nro bolng
hatched outovory any. Thi ) whole arraheo
mnnt Is very simple and Is wollworth the
trouble of n visit. Briefly described the in-
cub Uor consists of n long box supported at a
slight nnglo and n llttlo higher from ho
floor than n table. The air in the Incubator
is maintained nt nn even tomnsraturo by
moans of water heated by n small gas stove ,
The sggs are placed In trays that ore long
enough to roach the width of the Incubator
and wldo enough to take In an egg the narrow
wav. Kucu tray contains throe dozen eggs ,
E.ioh day the trays uro pushed toward the
lower end of the incubator n sudlclont dis
tance to mitko room for another ' .ray , Tbo
length of the Incubator Is so graduated that
n tray will roach the bottom of the Incu
bator In tivonty-ono days , the tl mo required
for hatching out chickens. As the
chickens como from the Incubator they are
placed in compartments or cages mndo of
wlro uottlnir , were tboy npuoai * as lively nnd
strong us uhickons hatched out in the ordtn-
nrv wav. Mr. Worswick already has several
dozen and says that ho.wlll keep them until
they are lane enough for brollora. Uo
claims that bv his method broilers can bo
grown in eight weeks nt n cost of $1.00 per
dozen , which nt the market prlco would
make n very handsomu protlt for the grower.
Mr. Worawiok hns planned to keep his Incu

Our opinion of values in tbo ftituro is un

piossod vcsturday on direful predictions that
the mornlni ; p ipi rs showed to bo unfounded.
and very naturally shorts were anxious to not
b.ick thulr wheat today. C.iblos were llrmor
and there were inllcatlons of a lot-up In ro-
colpls at primary markets. It looks
as If the worst was over and better prices are
likely lo provall shortly. In corn thu ol > anK-

bly some ether S ptcmbor lines will be
chan tid ovur nuxt wock. but when this Is out
of the w.iy the m irkot should do better , and
wo bolluvu corn bought on thu llttlo bruiks
will pay a good scalp 11 ; profit. Oats hold
their own and were largely lionalit on ovury
Jtc ducllno by BooJ houses. The trade was
llitht In provisions , mostly of an ovuniiu up

Wo consider wheat very low , owln to llbural
