Jobbing Business Shows a Falling Off as n
Hesnlt of Dull Times.
COU'NTRY COLLECTIONS NOT IMPROVING
T.oenl Itailnrm r.ntcrprlicn Generally Dull
Cloning of the Silver Mine * Diminishes

Hptcmllcl Crop l'ro pect .
Tito nctual buslncs * situation ns concerns
Omaha hns not changed very materially
during the past week. Huslncss was dull n
week ngo nnd It Is still In the same condi
tion with no prospect of any Immediate Im
provement. The jobbing businesswhich , was
generally good up to < is Into ns the early part
of Juno , has dropped oft rapidly and Is now
qulot with every prospect of remaining so
until late in the fall or perhaps to the end of
the year.
Tito Jobbers of Omaha appear to bo fol
lowing the same general iwllcy nnd are not
nttompttng to make any great flourish In
business , but take what comes and strive to
keep tholr customers along In ns good shape
n * possible.
Iho collapse of silver mining Is n severe
blow to Oitmhn Jobbers , who have had n
very heavy trade in Colorado , Utah , Idnho
nnd Wyoming. They nro likely to feel this
feature of the financial troubles moro di
rectly than any othor. Somonppearto take
n hopeful view of the situation nnd express
the opinion that the mines will not remain
long closed , whllo others scum to think that
It will bo a long tlmo before the mining dis
tricts of the country will bo in shape to buy
with anything llko their former liberality.
Some idea of the effect upon business of
the closing of thu mines may bo gained from
the experience of ono house. A representa
tive of the house in , question made n trip
through the mining cnmps Just before the
collnpso of silver and catno homo with his
pockets full of largo orders. The firm was
highly chilcd with his success but when the
mines closed down SOjior cent of the orders
Were canceled and the situation rendered
ouch that the ilrtn will not care to fill n largo
Vroiwrtlon of the remaining orders.
Whatever mny bo the llnal outcome the
fact remains that the volume of the Jobbing ;
business will bo materially reduced whllo
the mines nro closed.
In Nebraska trade Is qulot ns country
merchants nro buying sparingly and feeling
their way along cautiously. Collections
which were fair all the spring have during
the past two weeks been falling oft nnd nro
now slow. In view of the fact that Ne
braska raised n largo crop last year and that
corn and cattle Drought good prices , while
hogs sold higher than over before , It sounds
n little strange to hear complaints from the
country to the ottcct that thu farmers arc
asking for credit nt the stores and nro not
paying tholr bills promptly. From the crops
raised in Nebraska last year and from the
prices obtained for them It would bo only
reasonable to oxpeot that money would bo aa
plenty as ever among the farmers of the
state. There can bo only one oxplana'
tlon for the contrary being the cast
the farmers are carried to a grea'l
extent through the summer bj
the banks. In ordinary years n farinoi
with a good crop iu sleht and with othci
good collateral has no trouble in getting t
loan nt the bank , which ho uses to pay uj
small accounts us they come duo. Thi ;
gives him ready money until his crop ii
gathered nnd sold. At the present timi
country banks nro not in condition to loai
any money , and the farmer is thrown en
tlrcty upoa his own resources until ho cai
realize on his crops. If this is the true ox
planution of dull collections in the country
no great chiiiigo for the better can reason
ably bo expected before fall.
The Jobbers of Omaha who have a largi
part of their trade in Nebraska , are likol ;
to bo all right this fall. In the meantim
the Jobbers are very much in the same posl
tionasn farmer who has lost his crop ; al
tboy can do is to wait for the coming o
i another season.
The local retail trade Is quiet necessarily
, but it Is Lo be doubted if the full ollccts o
the dull limes have us yet been felt by th >
retailers o t Omi\ha. The shrinkage In th
volutnn of business hns caused a great man ,
men to bo Inid oft and when their mono ,
begins to give out the retailer will bo quit
apt to experience oven slower collection
and smaller trudo than in the past.
Tim week has passed with very few Iocs
failures and none that have attracted nn
, attention. The failure of a small saving
"bank was not oven commented upon 1
'business ' circles.
A business man remarked the other dn
thattimes , like Iho present are n necessit
tp Iho business world. Durinqf prospered
years pcoule who have n little money rus
into business until everything is overdoui
While the totnl volume of business may h
largo It is divided up among so mnny house
that none of them gut enough to make 111
business really prolltnblu. The coming of
„ financial squeeze wipes out the .weak an
superfluous concerns nnd when better time
como Iho business houses that have su
( JV'lyrd will hnvo.i proiliublo trade again f <
T , -fa\v years until the business is again eve
ySono.
f' Crop l'ro pictf.
While the present situation Is far fro
satisfactory , the prospect , is by to meat
discouraging. In fact , there never has bei
n time when the general outlook was at
better In Nebraska.
The acreage of corn in the state was nevi
so largo before nnd the crop is in an almo
perfect condition. The color of the plant
good nnd the Holds are generally free fro
weeds. Uverylhliie now Indicates that N
braska will raise by fur the largest en
ever produced within her borders. Son
X local grain men predict that Nebraska wi
rank second or third this year iu the list <
corn producing states.
The w Inter wheat situation is equally i
bad ns bus boon reported , nnd there will m
bo ovov 50 per cent of lust year's crop iu tl
Into.
Thn spring wheat acreage has boon i
creased to n copsldorablo extent , nnd , will
there lias bueu some damugo through he
dry weather , tbo condition is very fair , wi
& prospect of n larger yield than last year.
Oats In the western portion of the sta
have bcon damaged qulto seriously , whllo
thu north nnd eastern portions of Iho sta
the crop Is in splendid condition. T
nereago is larger than last year , nnd tl
, y ll probably give us a crop fully up tot
avorago.
Tlio movement of corn during the pa
month was very light , but them is every !
dlcallou that shipments will bo largely i
creased after thu m'.ddlo of July. There
quite n largu iimount of corn left back In t
haiuis of farmers , and there are probal
4.000,000 bushels In cribs. Tlio amount
helled corn In elevators Is not very largo.
With n splendid corn crop in sight there
every reason for confidence iu the future
the ituto , though the present condition
business may not bo satisfactory , Thu Ic
or partial loss of the winter wheat ci
does not cut nny llguro , The wheat lie !
that were regarded as n total loss wi
plowed up nnd planted to com. Moreoi
it is corn and the products of corn , cat
and hogs , that creates the wealth of I
state. Corn is depended UJXHI by the rt
road * to furnish business and not wheat
oats. Hence the talk of a light crop
mall grain need occasion no fears.
AS DUN SUICS IT.
Situation still Had , but Hlumtnc Sign *
Improvement.
Mr. SV , H. Uoborsoa , Omaha manager
tlio mercantile agcnsy of H. G. Dun & c
ays :
" '
. . " 'Although several banks have closed th
.J1 doors tUo past ueok in tills state , the attn
, pu.oro U gather clearer than it was av <
> * go. Financial men of acknowledged acuu
are willing now to aay they see bolter tin
head and one of our ablest bankore ventu
i to predict that wo may expect a marked
proVetnent by September 1 , There Is gr
eUulflcanco in his remarks , for W9 all ko
that tne unusual conoltioui of
- past two months can largely bo attribute
to the unoadnass of tbo loading bankers
tuo country regarding the tlnanclal polloj
> , the goVernmont. So pronounced is the g
. - , * rftl thought of the country upon the ( ji
tloa that H U very common to hoar
ftHuatlon duorlbed as 'a banker's tea
Therefore it Uukora Uglu to leo dayligh
will not be long until the common people will
rocognlzo the ntipronch of dawn.
"A very bright traveling man , who makes
this nnd other largo cities In this locality
every two months , called upon mo ycotor-
day. and he brlmrs the startling Information
thai there Is not n slnslo sifoty deposit box
to bo rented In Kansas City. Everything Is
taken , nnd In tlicso and other receptacles
for cash may bo found n very largo amount of
money. In Omaha It U estimated that over
1WW,000 hni bcon taken out of the banks
In the last six weeks to bo concealed in some
way. Almost every day wo road in the
newspapers of the loss of money by lire
which wn withdrawn from bank and
circulation nt the name tlmo. A loading
bank In Lincoln collected about MOO.OOO In
Mny nnd Juno nnd leaned almost nothing ,
yet the cash Items show no increase and de
posits hnvo fallen oft in about the hmo
amount.
"There U plenty of money in the country ,
but it Is effectually withdrawn from general
circulation. Just ns soon us the scare Is
over wo shall see n remarkable Increase in
the bank deposits of the country. The re
sumption ot two batiks In Ix > s Angeles , Cat. ,
ono in Spokane , Wash. , find others else
where , is the first straw to show the wind
blowing In a favorable direction.
"Tlio collapse of the American Loan nnd
Trust company and suspension of the Amer
ican Savings bank caused scarcely n rlpplo
of excitement. Outside of the stockholders
there are few Omaha pcoplo nffcctcd. The
trust company Is probably a thing of
the p.ist. It cnn scracoly hope to
resume. The savings bank appears
to bo solvent. nnd may recover.
Out In the state , ns u result of the troubles
of the American Loan und Trust company ,
the National bank of Ashlind closed Its
doors , but the ether banks intimately as
sociated with the Curler Interests nro
upp.irontly undisturbed. As they nro not In
the least Impaired by the misfortune of the
parent institution , having become entirely
separate , it Is hoped no further oxcitoinon-t
will result.
"Koports from nil parts of the state nro
encouraging ns to crops. The Into rains have
improved the prospects for small grain nnd
corn never looked better. Country mer
chants are complaiiiimr of slow collections ,
however , nnd nil lines of Jobbing trade fool
the close times very keenly.
"Tho litigation whioh ttos up public works
for the season is very generally rojrrottod.
It Is convenient of course just now for the
banks to have Inrgo deposits of city monov ,
but the retail trndo nnd the -working people
are seriously hampered by the lack of im-
ploymout nnd waves.
"Rctrtll trade ana local collections could
hnrdly bo loss satisfactory. The absence of
the summer excursionists and the absolute
lack of employment for the wage earning
classes , coupled with the reduction of forces
in nil the larger concerns , is very embarrass
ing to the smaller dnalors. "

The assertion that Nebraska has tnus far
withstood the financial storm much bolter
than many other western states may bo
looked upon as an idle boast born of state
prldo. It is nn onsy matter , however , to
prove that the assertion is based on solid
facts and not on moro supposition.
The shrinkage In the volume of business
nnd the stringency in the money market has ,
during the past few months , strewn the
shores of the flnanclixl world with the
wreckage of many promls'lng business enter
prises. In the United States , during the
past six months , there/ have been O.S 9 busi
ness failures , according toBradstroot's , with
liabilities amounting lo the enormous sum ol
$170,800,232 , being the largest number ol
failures and the largest liabilities over re
corded for the llrst half of the year.
To this grand total Nebraska only con
tributed I'.k3 failures , wittvllabilitios amount
ing to jayss,403. It may bo of Interest tc
show the number of failures for the past si >
months in the western and northwcsterr
states nearest Nebraska , as compared witb
the same period in 135J.

shows the smallest incrcaso in the nuinbc
f of failures. Wisconsin comes next with at
f increase of Uvcuty-oiglit , while Mlssour
3 shows the largest increase , the uumbc
'
i being nincty'-elght.
In the matter of liabilities , the total fo ;
3 Nebraska for the past six months is thi
s smallest of the states mentioned , but tin
a percentage of Increase is larger than sonn
i others , as will bo noted from the above table
Iowa , however , loads all other states In thli
respect , having jumped from 8140,553 for tin
llrst six months of 1802 to 51-1,743,383 , durini
the past six months. The heavy failures a
Kloux City are to bo charged with the Create
portion of this enormous increase.
Of the ilrms reported insolvent during th
past six months the total assets for th
whole United States constitute Gl per ccn
of the liabilities , vhllo in Nebraska tin
assets nro equal to 7 ! ) per cent of the Ha
bllltles. In whatever way the comparison
may bo carried out it will bo found that th
statistics bearing on business failures wll
prove that the financial squeeze thus far ha
had loss disasttous results iu Nebraska thu
in ether western states.
It is to bo expected that there will b
occasional failures in the state during th
summer , there are always moro or less , bt :
nothing approaching the disastrous wreck
that some othor. cities luvo experienced i
looked for hero. Business men argue the
as the money stringency has bean so long I
coming on prudent managers have prepare
for it and that they can endure a pretty si
voro squeeze nlthout serious consequences.

Wheat Speculators Looking for a Bullish

CIHCAOO , July 8. Whoixt speculators nro
look I IIR torn bullish government crop report
on Monrtny ntlornoon and they advanced
vrhcat Ic today on tlio faith on what Uioy ox-
poet. Corn on similar grounds of an Inverse
kind declined n trlflo , Tlio government report
port Is expected to Indtcnto n prospective
heavy crop of corn. Provision tnou did some
Imslne * ? In lard nnd ribs tit slightly Improved
price * .
Whotit was moderately nctlvo. Tlio market
at the opening was from Ho to Kc hlghc&thnti
yesterday's closing for. September , then ad
vanced &c inorc.cuscd oil slightly , rulud flrmar
ngnln , nnd tlio closing was abouj , Jic higher
than yesterday. July closed about lo higher
nnd December Ic higher. Tlio advance was
partially attributed to the Kansas state crop
report , which makes the ylpld 23,000,000
bu , and n smaller quantity than ninny op-
orator. * Imd expected , but why that should put
up the prlco of wheat to dlnicillt to say for this
report mndo the yield nbont 2.OOO.OOO bu
moro than the government report Indicated n
month ngo.
The London Times' July crop report cstl-
mule * u fulling oil In percentage of condition
as compared with last year ot 7 per cent nnd
says the crop Is sulTorlng Hovoroly nnd going
off rapidly. Ilclglum reports today sny
nn unbroken drouth ot ninety days continues.
In addition to those advice. * wore the homo ro-
purts , which say hnrvosllng Is progressing , but
tlio yield Is not Haltering. Crop reports from
the northwest were not encouraging. Offer
ings wvro heavy and It Is estimated that the
visible supply will show n good decrease.
Corn averaged strontr , but Ihoro were many
changes and quick lluctuattons ovur n moderate -
orate range , ending with the lowest prices rul
ing toward the close , which was He under
yesterday. Some of the recently most exten
sive buyers were heaviest sellers today. They
appear to think that thny may bo abli ) to get n
new hold after the government crop report
comes out.
Oats was qulot and lower without any im
portant change from yesterday.

The cattle trade Iho past week has bcon
prnctlcnlly devoid of now features. Hscolpts
have been moderate , but the demand has not
boon extraordinarily active , nnd whllo there
has been some life to Iho buslncs , prices have
ruled very generally In lasl week's notches.
Perhaps the moro deslrublo grade. * of dry lol
beeves , both heavy and light , have shown
some advance , nut the ordinary run of cattle
nro selling the same ns n week ago. Tlieso ro-
mutks alto apply to cows. Fntslock Is Ingood
demand nnd all right , but thin an' ' grassy cows
llml n dull market. llnMne.s In feeders has not
boonruslilug.butthlshus boon more on account
of llinluulolforlngs than any lack of country
buyers. Well bred and well lleshcd stock fs
hard to find nt this season of the year , nnd
anything of that kind meul.s with a ready sale
nt strong prices. Light , common sum nnd
yearlings are not wanted , except ut very low
tig u res.
The run of cattle today was rather lighter
than dealers wore expecting. Only n few ever
1,600 head were rrcolved and of those nearly
300 were Texas cattle bought by Cudahy at
Kansas City and shipped direct to the local
plant. At this tlmo of Iho < year , "betwixt nnd
between" soa&on , 1. o. , when corned cnlllo nro
scarce nnd western range cattle hnvo
not begun to arrive , local cannrrs
nro compelled to eo elsewhere for tholmupply
of cannors. Toxns cattle fill the bill , and us no
southwestern cattle como hero direct , on ac
counl ot unfavorable railroad ralos , packers

ATTRACTION OF THE ABYSS.
Why People I. one to Throw TheinsotvOi
from I Ugh riucei.
Chovroul'fl well known experiments
with tlio exploratory pendulum and the
diviiiliiff rod show that if wo represent
to ourselves a motion in any direction
the hand will unconsciously realize it
and communicate it to tire pendulum ,
says a writer in the Popular Science
Monthly. The tipping table realizes o.
movement wo are anticipating , through
the intervention of a real movement of
the hands , of which wo are not conscious.
Mind reading , by those who divine by
taking your hand whore. you have hid
den anything , is a rending of impercep
tible motions by which your thought is
translated without your being conscious
of them. In cases of fascination and
vertigo , which arc more viaiblo among
children than among adults , a movement
is begun the un ] > on3ion of which is pre
vented by a paralysis of the will , and it
carries us to suffering and death. "When
a child I was navigating a plank on the
river without a thought that 1
might fall. All at once the idea came
like a diverging foroc , projecting itself
across the rectilinear thought jwhiuh
had alone previously directed my action.
It was as if an invisible arm soiled mo
and dragged mo down. 1 cried out and
continued staggering over the whirling
watura till help cnmo to mo. The moro
thought of vertigo provoked it. The
board lying on the ground suggests no
thought of a fall Avhon you walk over it ,
but when it is ever a precipice and the
eye takps the measure of the distance to
the bottom , the representation of n fall
ing motion boeomos intense , and the im
pulse to fall correspondingly HO. Kv < m

The vision of the gulf ai n fixed idea.
having produced an "inhibition" or. all
your ideas or forces , nothing is loft hut

toxication of the rapid movement that
iHigina in yoiiHmiln and tends to turn

Temptation , which is continual in chil

International
Tlio first great international exposi
tion wui that hold at London , in the
Crystal Pulnoo , in 1851. The next simi
lar undertaking was the "exhibition of
the industry of all nations , " hold at > } cw
York in 185U. This was hold In Crystal
Pulacu , which was afterward destroyed
by lire. A similar exhibition was also
hold in Dublin the Bume year. In 1854
an exhibition was held in Munich ,
which was at first very successful , but
cholera appeared and caused such a
fright that tlio ontorprlso was aban
doned. The il'-bt great Paris inter
national oxpobitlon was held in 1855.
The hcooncl Unglhh international exhibi
tion WK hold in London In 1802. Next in
o.'dor were those held nt Constantinople
in 1803 ; Hayonne , 1804 ; Dublin , IBilSj
Cologne , Oporto nnd Stockholm in 1805 ;
Melbourne , J800 ; Agra , 1807. Than
came the great Purls exposition o' 1807 ,
followed by several Bmallor ones at
various places , until 1873 , when a very
line ono was hold in Vienna. The nnxt
important display was the Philadelphia
Centennial. Again u number of amallor
ones , then the great Paris exposition of
1880 , and now the World's Columbian
oxiwaltlon in Chicago , the greatest of
all.
