Tlio Jobbing trade of Omaha Is fair , but It
Is not as nctltro ns It was a month ago.
There Is no cause for complaint , however , as
the present situation Is duo to natural
causes that will right themselves In the
near future. The trade In winter goods Is
over , and as Jobbers look back upon the us-
nulls of their winter's work the.v express
themselves as fully satl.slled with the prog-
rcss made. They are now looking forward
to the spring and summer trade , and It Is
this trade that Is lacking In activity Just at
present
If the movement In spring and summer
goods was active at the present tlmo It
would bo a surprise to Jobbers as no one ex
pects to see a large demand for such goods
with the weather as cold as It has been so
far this season. No eno can expect a retail
dealer to b y freely of linen dusters and
palm leaf fans when the weather Is eold
enough to freo/.e the marrow In bis bones.
Of course merchants realize that there Is
HUcI.v to be a warm spell a little later In the
spring , and they prepare for It in a measure ,
but there run bo little enthusiasm In the
trade until the we.ither turns a little
warmer and thaws out their blood.
Last year the Jobbers generally exper
ienced a pretty good trade in March , as the
weather was warm and pleasant the greater
part of thr time. Later came the steady
rains of April and May which at Ilrst af
fected trade by keeping fanners at homo
and later through the fear that the Into
spring was endangering the eorn crop.
The coming of warmer weather and the
Improvement In the country roads Is cx-
ifectod to bring a renewal of activity in job-
bi ng circles.
Tlio local retail trade of Omaha has not
been very large during the past week , as
might lie expected from the state of the
weather. It has been too cold for the sale
of spring goods and too late in the season for
winter goods to move freely. At the same
tlmo business has been fully up to what the
retail dealers have reason to expect under
the circumstances. Kvervthing would seem
to indicate that there will be a good spring
business when the season really opens. Con
sequently , retail dealers are generally hope
ful ami encouraged at the outlook.
The Ice ItiiHlnesH.
The season for cutting ice is over and the
crop has been a very large one owing to the
continued cold weather. For the same rea
son the ipialitv of the ice is generally good ,
being clear and solid.Vbllo the crop has
been largo the number of linns cutting ice
has been much smaller than usual. Last
year some thirteen llrms put up lee , but the
past season the number was reduced to live
or six.
The Ice companies have secured their Ice
from the city reservoirs and from Cut Off
lake , excepting the South Omaha Ice com
pany , which harvested Its crop on Crystal
lake near Ashland.
The South Omaha packers are the largest
consumers of Ice in the state and consequently
quently cut the greater amount of all the ice
put up. Swift & Co. alone claim to have cut
200.01)0 ) tons of Ice this season.
Dealers say that the consumption of ice
is increasing lu Omaha. Hundreds of
families that regarded Ice as a lux
ury 11 vo years ago now look UIKIII
It as one of the necessities of life. Kvery
prosperous family now expects to receive a
dally reminder of winter all through the
summer In the ihape of a block of ice.
Prices to families bid fair to bo the same
as lust season , but It is understood that the
Jobbing trade , such as saloons , restaurants ,
etc. , will bavo to pay a little moro than lust
season.

Mr. W II. Hobersou , Omaha manager of
R. O. Dun & Co. , reviewing local trade says :
"February , ISO- , was a great month In
nearly every line of wholesale trade in
Omaha. The of Ib'Jl and
crop was good , re
ceipts from sales came in largely during the
winter mouths , up to and including Feb
ruary. As a consequence trade was
active. This explains why a largo number
of local houses llnd totals for IS'J'J equal to
and In some instances ahead of the month
Just passed. Nevertheless , trade has been
good , with one or two exceptions. In every
lino. As an Indication of the way sales have
been running , ono house reports an
oven $000 short , another $1,000 ,
and another an increase of 10 per
cent , and a fourth an Increase of
f 1-1,000 , and' ono of the largest houses ad
mits a considerable falllmr olT. Collections
have not been up to the standard , and In ex
planation of this it Is said by grain dealers
that n very largo proportion of the crop is
still In the granaries waiting for a bettor
price.
"In discussing the grain situation a dealer
says that ho has never in his experience
known farmers in Nebraska to bo in such
good condition to hold their product for an
advance In price. The country banks nro
drawing heavily on account of this , and
Omaha bankers without exception report the
demand for money more than usually active.
As n consequence Interest rates are stiffen-
In1 ? somewhat , and bankers are ilot so
anxious to put out money that they will
accept anything below ruling rates even for
the best of loans.
' Speaking In detail of trade it may bo
laid that the hardware men report a gain of
from 10 to y.'i per cent. Ono heavy hardware
dealer puts February of this year fully 50
per cent ahead of last. In the hat trade the
year shows quite a heavy gain , but Feb-
mary itself contributes very little to this
gain. In clothing January was a huge
month and February rather lighter. In
dry goods a very small gain is reported
over last year. In groceries trade has
moro than held its own. In har
ness and saddlery ono dealer re
ports his trade away ahead of a year ago ,
and another states that It has Imrelv held Its
own. In liquors , dealers say that collections
arc bad , though the demand for goods Is
strong. The retail liquor men have not jet
recovered from the pressure Incident to payIng -
Ing their annual license. Lumbermen are
surprised at the midwinter demand for lum
ber ami nro anticipating a very heavy trade
when spring opens.
"In retail circles trade has been only fair ,
the special sales contlnuo to bo the drawing
Hint ami there is comparatively little
legitimate trade except among dealers who
handle the necessaries of lifu.
"Kcul estate Is simply Hat , as woulu
naturally bo expected at this tlmuot the
year. The llllng of conveyances to a largo
tract of East Omaha property swells the
volume of real estate sales , hut is really the
completion of a deal commenced months ago
and therefore the total of sales for the week
cannot bo taken as an Indication of an im
provement in the real estate market.
"Reports from the interior of the state in
dicate a large demand for ; 'arin lands. It
npiwars certain now that the opening of
spring will see u genuine rush of homo
seekers to Nebraska , Already there has
been u marked advance In prices In all the
eastern counties of the state.
"Ilia expected thul wllhlu tcnjduya plans
for thn new Fifteenth street fire-proof hotel
will bo completed and within three or four
weeks contracts for the building will bo
awarded. The capitalists engaged In this
enterprise promise that the work will begin
as soon a the frost is out of the ground.1

L. L. 13. Stewart of the Purity Extract

the Manufacturers association , was In the
city the past week.
Mark & Mooney of Fremont have been ex
perimenting for a year or moro on a cash
carrier to be used in stores. They have it
now perfected and are placing it on the

Manufaetmvs , exposition to bo held in
Omaha this sprint.
The necessity of patronizing homo indus
tries this year will be greater than ever be
fore. It is estimated by Dun & Co's. com
mercial agency that the World's fair will
take * . - > , UOOUOl ) out of the state. There is
only one way to make up for tbis drain and
that is to buy Nebraska goods and thus keep
as much money as possible In the state.
It is said that Mr. 1'helps , the Schuylor
tobacco grower , is very much pleased with
the recent sale of a large part of his crop.
Ho is a firm believer In the great ad vantages
that will be derived from the cultivation of
tobacco In Nebraska. . The quality of the
tobacco Is pronounced by Omaha manufac
turers to be superior to either U Isconsin or
Pennsylvania loaf.
A local bnekmnker is authority for the
statement that ho is in correspondence with
a large eastern llrm that will establish a
plant in Omaha for the manufacture of vit-
rilicd pacing brick if the Hoard of Public
Works will give an Omaha llrm the prefer
ence over an outside llrm , provided the work
turned out by them Is of equally good qual
ity. It is claimed that it Is not an easy mat
ter to get the board to make any promises to
help a local llrm.
The manufacturers of Lincoln , at a local
meeting held there , passed the following
resolutions : Kcsolved. That the thanks of
the members of the association residing in
Lincoln be tendered to Secretary Holmes
for the able and efllelont manner In which ho
managed the carnival held from the 2th ( ) to
thcUTith inst. , inclusive , under the auspices
of the Manufacturers and Consumers asso
ciation of the state. Also , Kcsolved , That u
copy of this resolution be forwarded to the
president of the association.
President Page is very anxious to have the
( lour men at Nebraska make a great showing
at the coming exposition , as believes that
the possibilities lor that branch of manu
facture in this state are almost unlimited , if
the millers can only command the attention
of the people and get them to try the homo
product. There are a good many milL-rs In
the association , and with a little effort on
their part the exhibit of mill stuffs may bo
made a leading feature of the exposition. It
is a fact conceded by every one who has
made a careful investigation of the subject
that Nebraska mills are making Hour that is
equal to the best Minneapolis , and it only
remains for the millcr.i of this state to in
duce more people to investigate the subject.
The effect of water power on real estate
values is aptly illustrated at Buffalo , near
the location of the terminus of the great
Niagara water jhwcr , where property has
advanced in value from 000 to 1,000 per cent ,
whole farms having been sold at prices ranging -
ing as high as $1,000 per aero. If the Platte
Kiver Canal company carry out their project
of bringing the water from the Platte river
to a point just west of this city , for the pur
pose of furnishing a water power for Omaha ,
double the capacity of the falls at Minne
apolis and creator than any other power in
the country outside of Niagara , the real
estate market will bo vastly bonelited and
the owners of land west of this city are apt
to realize big returns from their holdings.
This is the natural result of any move that
tends to Increase the manufacturing inter
ests of the city.
The Manufae'turors carnival at Lincoln re
sulted in a profit of about JliOO , which has been
turned over to the Women's Christian asso
ciation of Lincoln , to bo used for charitable
purposes. Secretary Holmes has returned
Irom Lincoln and is highly pleased with the
results of the efforts put forth there. The
carnival brought the manufacturers of the
city together and made them acquainted and
mutually interested in each other's pros
perity. The visit of the Omaha manufac
turers contributed much toward wiping out
all vestige of that old feeling of prejudice
between Omaha and Lincoln. Lincoln now
has one-third as many members in the Manu
facturers association as Omaha and pro
poses to take an active Interest nr its man
agement. The consumers of Lincoln have
been aroused and are taking a good deal ol
interest In the homo patronage movement.
Gcortro II. Bowring , cashier of the Stuart
State bank of Stuart , Neb. , writes to Tun
Hr.i : as follows :
I noticed in your dally of a few days ago a
lengthy article headed , "A Train Load ol
Flour from Minneapolis for Omaha. " It oc
curred to mo that if it had read , a train load
of Nebraska Hour for Omaha , it would have
been moro in keeping with the idea Omaha
wholesalers have been trying to impress
upon Nebraska people , viz : "Patroni/o
homo industries. " All over this fair state
of ours are hundreds of mills that can make
Hour equal to Minnesota's best idle , for the
simple reason that Nebraska will not use
their Hour. What builds up Omaha ( Is it
the cities of Minnesota and Iowa or the
towns and hamlets of Nebraska and the
country west of Omaha ! Tno purchase of
all the Hour used in Omaha , Lincoln and
other largo cities of Nebraska from the mills
of Nebraska would put that class of business
men on a financial footing tlr.it they have
not enjoyed for years. In place of wheat
being shipped out of our state it would bo
ground hero , thus giving employment to
many moro people within our borders. The
people of Nebraska are not obliged to pur
chase their dry goods and groceries in
Omaha and will very soon begin to buy theii
goods where Omaha buys her Hour. If "pat
ronize homo industries" is good for Omaha it
applies vlth equal weight to the whole state
Wo take pride in helping to build you up. li
the name of humanity and for the good o
your state return the compliment.
The request of the Hoard of Fire ani
Police Commissioners of Omaha that the
Ixiard bo authorized to buy ! 1KK , ( ) feet of hose
for the lire department has brought \ \ \
another phase of the homo patronage ones 1
Hon. There are in Omaha six largo Job 'bin ' ! .
houses that handle lire huso , and it is possible
siblo to buy almost any kind of hose that Is
wanted in this city. At the same time the
board of commissioners have made it i
practice to give the order * to Chicagi
houses. "Omaha has bought thousands o
feet of hose , " said the head of a local job
bing house , "during the past few years , im
Omaha Jobbers have never been given i
chance to furnish any of it. It is not a qucs
lion of price , as hose is sold at one price tin
country over , and it Is not a question equality
quality , as any kind that is desired can he
obtained from some one of the houses li
Omaha. 1 do not ask that the order hi
given to our house , but ! think we have" !
right to demand that it bo given to som
Omaha house instead of being sent to Chi
vagi ) . Omaha jobbers hell ) to pay for tin
hose , and If they will furnish the saw
hose , at the same money , as the , )
would bo glad to do , they ought to hav
the order. Three or four years ago
believe a local house was given an order for
WX ) feet , out of some H.OOO that was bought
tit that time , and , to the best 3f my reeollec
tion , mat is the only order placed In Omaha.
Since that time the city has bought thou
sands of feet of hosu In Chicago. Do not
misunderstand the situation ; there are in
bids called for , but the commissioners simply
meet and vote to give some house the onW
for supplying the hose at the market price ,
Omaha Jobbers have tried their best to get
those orders , but have failed. " It has been
suggested that the council In authorizing
the purchase of hose should stipulate that it
be bought of u local house , The Manufac
turer * association has been appealed lo for
tlh
help In securing the order for Omaha , but as
the hose Is not n Nebraska production the
subject durs not projKTly belong to the work
81O the nsHoclatluti. However , It Is under
stood that the association will look Into the
question I carefully and If they can do so con
sistently a vigorous protest will bo entered
against the action of the commissioners In
giving the prefei'enco to Chicago houses.
If there Is an Instltutnn in the city that Is
rightly named It Is the Model Steam laun
dry at lilt ) and 111'J Dodge street , which Is
certainly a model in every respect. The
management has followed the policy of keepIng -
Ing abreast of the times by putting In nil the
latest machinery and appliances. As fast ns
}
Improved j methods are perfected thc.v are
adopted by the Model and the older machin
ery is thrown out. In the way of re
cent improvements at the Model , attention
might be called to their now I'i.Vhorso ' 'rawer
boiler made by Wilson & Drake of this city ,
which Is pronounced by the boiler Inspector
to be the finest In the city and which gives
them a total of 'JOO-horse power. The Model
as also put In three duplex mangles at a
est of f..OOO each lo replace the smalleroncs
'ormerly ' used. Then there are four new and
mproved brass washers In the place of the
Id wooden nmehincs , making sixteen wasti
ng machines in all. the largest having n
apacity for ' , ' .V ) shirts at one time. There
re also new shirt and collar Ironers ,
tarchers , etc. The Model has put in
frS.OOO of new machinery during the
last few months. With such an equipment
f new maciilneryjn addition to their al-
eady largo plant the Model can Justly
laim to bo one of the largest and finest hum-
rles In the country. No city can show a
letter establishment. This being the case
here is not the shadow of an excuse for th
etlon of those citl/ens who are In the habit
f giving their laundry \\orK to people who
end It to other cities to be done. The Model
s prepared to handle all the work that the
itizens of Omaha can furnish. They make
i specialty of line custom work , such as
hirts , collars , etc. , and also of hotel table
nd bed linen , etc. At the present time the
Model employs fifty-live people , and will add
o the force as soon as the weather opens up.

Western fruit shippers are pretty wide

established demand in the cast , in carload

shipments will soon bo going forward by
train loads , instead of carloads. Chinamen
stickto , the business year in midyear out

happens to strike a bad year , quits in dis
gust. It is not very llattering to the self-
respect of the Caucasian to hear the com
ments made by local commission men not
for publication on the different business
methods of Chinese and white producers.

The cuttle market has been lively the past
week and prices liave Undiluted rather morn
than usual. Unevenly distributed receipts ,
caused by the extremely rough weatbcriliirlng
the early part of the week will account for the
harp chunges In tinmarket. . With unusually
light supplies , Monday and Tucsiluy prices
advanced fully IOc lo 20c , but on Wednesday
with 200 cars on sale this udMinco was com
pletely wiped out. Since then with moderate
ipplfe thu market has gradually lecovered
and the close of the week Hints the trade In
very satisfactory shape. In fact , considering
the Increased supplies compared with lust year
and the usually depre-.sed condition of the
meat business during Lent the condition of
the market has shown rcmurkuhlo strength
and activity. The high price for pork bus
helped the situation materially , and the fear ,
almost the certalnlty , "f icduccd supplies
later on has been a decidedly bullish feature
of the business.
Duly Ml cars of cattle were received toduy ,
an unusually light run for u Sutuiday. The
week's receipts , however , foot up over I.OOII
heavier than lust week and more than fi.ooo
heavier than u year ago. Speculative shippers
were rulher cuutlous , and on this account ,
there was lltlle noticeable Improvement In the
good heavy cattle. Active competition among
local houses mudii a good , strong mat ket for
bandy killing grades , and In some cases higher
prices were paid , from 10e to liilc higher than
Wednesday , which was the low day of the
week. , ( iood to choice 1,201) ) to 1,400-lb beeves

to l,20U-lb. sleersat from if 1.20 tofl.llO , with
commonlsh to poor grades at from $4.10 down.
The forenoon' * trading practically cleared the
yards , the week closing with u good , llrm ,
active market.
The supply of butchers' stock was not heavy
and with u very good general demand trade
wns tolerably brisk at fully steady prices.
Common and canning grades have been in too
liberal supply for the maintenance of values
and during the week prices huve declined IOc
to 20c. Sales today were lit from if 1.40 to
S3. 00 for poor to choice stock with the bulk of
thn fair to good cows and heifers at $2.00 to
13.20. Theie wus no puitlculur chaiigo In the
market for . "ough stock , poor to good hulls ,
oven and stags selling ul from $1.00 to $3.70.
1'ulr to choice veul calves were In active de
mand and strong at from $1.00 toG , with com
mon largo culves and yearlings from $2.10
The stacker and feeder trade wus slow.
There wus a very limited country domuiid
mid a very limited number of really
desirable feeding cattle In the yards. All
Miltublo grades were quolubly .steady , but
them was almost no demand at all for the
under grades , even ut lower prices. Sules out
of Hrsl hands were largely at fiom $3 to $3.00 ,
but the volume of trade was small. Hepre-
