COUNTRY COLLECTIONS HOLD UP WELL
Block * of Merchandise lifting Koiluced to n
Loir I'oint The Itoturn of Oonll-
dcnoo Must Makn llunlnou
Active Later In the Year.
The actual business situation as affecting
the local Jobber * has not changed materially
during the past vf cok , but there Is undenia
' bly n much moro confident feeling. Every
* ono Is still cautious and strongly Inclined to
the ido of conservatism In all business
transactions , but the gloomy predictions often
ton days ago are uo longer heard.
The volume of business without doubt
will ho somewhat restricted during July , as
merchants of all classes , from jobbers to
retailers , nro strongly Imbued with n deter
mination to reduce stocks and clean up their
business as closely ns possible. Every mer
chant Is Htnvinf ? to soil out his stock of
mon bandlso , collect In his accounts , pay un
bills and put himself In shape to start anow.
As a rule business men anticipate their
vranti and buy In advance whou goods nro
offered at a seeming low price or when thuro
U a prospect of an advance In the market.
At the present tlmo every ono Is trying to
dispose of what ho has , even If ho focls that
it will cost him moro t } stock up again later
on. In other words , the speculative feature
has been eliminated and merchants arc soil
ing goods nml only buying when they can no
longer do without. Stocks of goods all over
the country are being run down to a very
low pblnt.
\Vhllothouncortalntyns to future finan
cial conditions wns the real cause of such a
conservative policy among business men ,
there Is another cause ut work , at the pres
ent tlmo , which has much weight with the
country retailors. July is the month that
makes or rums the com crop In Nebraska ,
and by the tlmo August Is reached the f uturo
of the crop can bo qulto accurately foretold.
As there Is so much dependent upon the corn
crop In this state , country mcrcnnnts usually
buy very sparingly until doubt as to the out
come ot the crop Is settled.
In splto of the tendency on the part of the
retailers to limit tholr orders , the Jobbers of
Omaha report that they nre doing it very fair
business for July and have no complaints to
make. Some of them report that they are
doing moro business than they expected.
Collections In the country hnvo hcjd up re
markably well. Extensions are asked for In
BOino sections and there are some reports to
the effect that farmers are not paying thotr
store bills very promptly , but there are al
ways complaints of this nature 'during the
middle of the summer.
A Jobber observes that there Is very llttlo
excuse for hard times in Nebraska. There
may bo reason for hard times in the east ,
where many largo industries have been
closed down , throwing men out of employ *
niont and whcro the money stringency has
been severely felt. In Minnesota and other
wheat growing states It la not strange that
times are bard whcnvhoat is selling for loss
than It costs to grow It. In the silver states
the closing of the mines would naturally
have a depressing effect , but Nebraska has
had none of thcso difficulties to contend
with. On the contrary , Nebraska had a
largo corn crop nnd moro cattle and hogs
than over boforonnd fortunately everything
that she had to sell has brought unusually
high prices all the year through. Thcro Is
no reason why money should not bo as plenty
as ever in the state as the farmers have had
largo returns from tholr crops and no unusual -
usual expenditures.
The only reason for hard times in Ne
braska is a luck of confidence , a lear that
something might go wrong. The moro care
fully the situation in Nebraska Is studied
the luoro evident it becomes that all busi
ness Interests in the stuto will bo as prosper
ous ns over ns soon as the people get over
their scaro. , hcuco the better fooling among
business men noted abovo.
Some local Jobbers are commencing to pro-
dlct that the full business will bo something
phenomenal. They argue that by the latter
part of August or 1st of Septouibor confi
dence will bo restored and the merchants of
the country who are now striving to reduce
their stocks will suddenly realize that they
have moro confidence than goods and then
tbo rush will commence. The mon who are
tunning this prediction were talking very
blno ton days ago.
Another cause that is aiding in no small
degree to rcstoro conlldonca is the easing up
of the money market in Now York City.
The banks are retiring the loan certlllcatos
issued while the money stringency was the
most severe. The percentage of cash used
iti the payment of balances ut the clearing
house is becoming greater each day. Thu
New York banks report the receipt of largo
nmounts of uurrunuy from the country uud a
noticeable decrease in the applications for
rediscount and other accommodations from
country banks.
It looks very rauchns If the money squeeze ,
which cnmo on gradually , has reached the
turning point and that thcro will bo a
gradual casing up in tlio .situation from
now on.
The Wcxik's dimrlncs.
The bank clearings nt Omaha for the past
week show a decrease of 17 per cent , as com
pared wltti the corresponding week In 18'JJ. ,
A ween , however , Is too .short a tlmo for
comparisons to bo inndo of any great import *
nnco. Two or thr'o largo transactions may
swell the clearings for ono weolr to an extent -
tent that would iiuiko quite u dlfforonco in
the percentage of that week , whorons if the
whole month were taken Into account they
1 \\ould make no appreciable difference.
The avoraco dully clearings for the flrst
two weeks of this month are jVSU,3Jr > , while
the average dally clearings for the whole
month of July. 18U2 , were { ilOUO.l > i . This
would maku thu decrease for this month
about 7 per cent as compared with July of
last your.

Nut I.Itlln Chunc" In llio Situation , Vet
Uuu l.tttlu In for tlin Ilittior ,
Mr. W. H. Hoberson , Omaha manager of
H. G. Dun & Co. , spoukimjof the trade situa
tion , says ;
"Locally the situation Is not much changed
for the better. Thcro Is comfort In the
thought , iiowovor , that what llttlo change
there Is is not for the worse- . Our banks

During the List few years the clearings of
the national banks of the country liavo como
to bo regarded as an Important feature in
flnnnclal reports. The vrdekly statements
arne looked forward to ana nro studied with
no little interest by business men nnd capi
talists. ! Wlillo these reports may nt times
bo inflated by unusual conditions , such aa n
flurry in real estate or n speculative craze in
sorno other direction , it is stfo : to say they
furnish , under ordinary circumstances , a
very good Indication of the actual volume of
business transacted.
At times business rimy1 appear dull on the
surfiico and the markets may bo dovold of
tuolr usual activity , but at the same tlmo
there may bo a largo amount of regular busi
ness transacted in so quiet and unostenta
tious a manner as to escape gcnarul notlco.
When business appears qulot on the surfnco
people cry "hard times , " and whan this surface -
face business Is flourishing the word Is
passed about , "times nro good. " The fact Is.
times nro not always what they seem nnd
the great volume of business , the underflow
of trade ns It were , cannot always bo meas
ured by surface indications. The bank clear
ings are useful ns showing the increase or
doorcase In thu volume of regular commer
cial transactions that otherwise would bo a
Micro matter of conjecture.
Just nt present thcro Is a loud cry of "hard
times'1 timl every ono is talking about the
dullness of business , alow collections nnd
the general absence from trade of all snap
nnd energy. No ono denies tliut , tlioro is
widespread depression nnd lack of confidence ,
but has there been after all any very great
shrinkage in the volume of legitimate busi
ness In Omaha ?
All enterprises ofn speculative character
have boon abandoned on account of the 01 111-
culty of borrowing money , but people must
cat and wear clothe * nnd live In houses , and
while they may practice economy they can
not do entirely without these things. A
careful Investigation of the bank clearings
of Omaha will throw some light on this sub
ject. As business is naturally larger during
certain seasons of the year , each month
must bo company ] , not with the preceding ,
but with the corresponding month of pre
vious years.
U'ho following will show the clearings for
each month of the year since the opening of
the Omaha clearing house :

A careful study of these figures will show
that there was a. constant increase in the
clearings from the organization of the clear-
Ins house until 18'Jl. During that year there
was a'heavy shrinkage iu the volume of
business , owing to the crop fulluro of 1890 ,
and Dfornbcr was the only month iu which
the clt , Pfjs showed any increase. The
total clculiig3 of 18'Jl fell shprt of the total
for 18'JO by fW.SSO.US ) .
In 1S'J3 there was an enormous Increase in
the clearings , tha loss of the previous year
being fully mudo up.
The clearings for January of tbo present
year were the largest In the history of the
cleiiaing house and almost double what they
were iu 18U1. Following down the 18'JJ
column of figures it will bo noted that the
clearings for each month show n heavy in-
rrcuso ever the corresponding months in
praviousyoars. The total clearings for the
six months of this year are $174,770,743 ; for
the correspond Ing months in 18SU , $138,22' ) . .
511 j ana Sloy,505UI5 In 18'Jl ,
Lust year business was generally consid
ered good , wliilo this year it is reported dull ,
and yet for the first six months of the year
there has boun a gain over ISM of # 30,0 11 , .233
in thu clearings. The crop failure caused
thu clearings during the first six months of
Ib'Jl to decrease $ 'JllSt'J07 ) as compared with
the previous year , while this year there has
been a gain over the preceding year of & )0- )
'
5I1U ; ui the face p'f the muuh-tdlkod-about
financial depression.
Those llgurcs would naturally suggest
that a crop failure Is fur moro disastrous
to business than a financial flurry. It
may bo claimed , however , that the present
financial squeeze was not felt during the
first months of the year 'and that these
months should not bo included In the com
parisons. TuUo , then , the lust full month ,
Juno , und follow out the same comparisons.
As compared with lust year there was an
Incioaso in the clearings of frVj OSil , and
there was no panlo last yonr In Juno , but , on
the contrary , business was considered good.
A gain of nearly $1,000,000 In a mouth would
not ordinarily bo of much consequence , but
the fact that It vrui made at u time when
business was generally considered vor" dull
gives it unusual Importance. Again , the
total clearings for Juno , f-'O.-mi.lU-H , in addi
tion to being the largest for that month iu
the history of the Omaha clearing house ,
has noyor been exceeded previous to this
year , excepting by the months of July ,
October and I > oconibor of IBW ,
During the p.-csoijt month of July thcro
1ms boon n slight aocrcaso in the cle.trlugs ,
und it 1s moro ttmu likely that the total for
tbo mouth will full short of lust year's total 1 ,
but unless the decline becomes much moro
rapid toward the close of the month llio loss
will bo slight.
It must bo berne in iniud that for the
ilrst six months there was a gain lu the
clearings amounting to $30,5 , ! ! , ' ) , and that
the clearings would have to drop oft almost
50 per cent during July , August and Septem
ber to wlpo that out , no
.Kvoryouo anticipates that business will re
vive about the mlddlo of September , If eDt
sooner , aud should there bo no disaster to
the growing crop there Is every reason to , toe
Hove that business during the last three
mouths of the year will bo very active. It Is
therefore by uo menus unreasonable to Isn
ticipate that the total clearings for the year
will bo fully up to 1SW and perhaps show ara
substantial gain.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL
Wheat Was Weak Yesterday in Spite of
Heavy Exports.
CONDITIONS UNUSUALLY FAVORABLE
In Corn There VFnn Light Trnilo nnd
Fluctuation * Were UmiMintljr Limited
L'ommuilofi Concerns Took OI r-
Unite Ilendllr.
CHICAGO , July 13. Wheat was weak today In
splto of the heavy exports , the bad crop re
ports and the steady to firm cables. The
weakening factor was the lilt of bank state
ments of condition and the business failures.
This was more than sufllctont to oftsot the
more favorable news In the way of crop pros-
peels tiiul under n moderate display of firm-
ncss there was a gradual decline of nearly 54c
withasubscquontslow and uncertain rally.
Iusnmorospc'b ! > the conditions won ) unus
ually favorable. The exports from both coasts
for the week wore 4,125,000 bu. . In wheat and
flour , the largest , It Is said , with four excep
tion * , over nuido In ono nook in the history of
our export tnulo and shows the foreign dcmnnd
to Ira on a gigantic scnlo , but with llttlo fuss or
nolso , as though buyers were quietly picking
up all tnpy could got. fluctuation * were confined -
fined within a Ho range and the closing was
about ? ic lower for July , ! Jc lower for Soptora-
bor and JJc lower for December than tud clos
ing figure of yesterday.
In corn tlioro was n light trndo and the fluc
tuations were limited toic range. The crop
showed llttlo change from yostordny. The
local operator * were Inclined to look to the
financial troubles In tlio southwest , but the
oirernijM were readily taken by commission
concerns ) , though showers were icported
ever the west , moro than was needed , and
especially In the southern part of Kant as and
thu central portions of western status. The
crop It said to bo 1 ho most promising for the
past few days , owing to the excessive heat ,
which It was fanrodmlghtclinngo the prospect
In SOMO localities. Receipts , while liberal ,
were not nearly us largo as predicted.
Offerings of oats wuro light. Prices ad
vanced l/o for July from yesterday's close.
September advanced } { c nnd closed steady.
Kocclpts were less than expected.
A feature of the provision market Is the fact
that thu new speculative products are not
being traded In , which Is unusual at this sea
son of the year. Wright was nn open seller

NKTT YORK , July 15. It may bo safely said
that a very critical week ai well us ono of
great significance closed today In tha financial
markets. Especially In London t
has boon expected that the reg
ular fortnlghtlr settlement" the Slock
oxchamto account- , would develop serious
troublo. Within the fortnight has occurred
the violent break In prices consequent on the
India council's move and the fooling la Lon
don has boon very gloomy. ThU week was
bound to put the situation to a tost.
As to the local monetary nyatom In Now
York , It has grown a trlflo easier. It was
feared that a further fall In market prices
would precipitate trouble hero. These double
expectations were reflected this week In
a bold and oitonslvo movement In both
security markets by speculative operators for
the decline. The movement wns conducted
with thp use of every expedient known lo pro-
foaslnnnl wreckers of valuos. Including tholr
reckless circulation of fnlso rumors and sales
of enormous quantities of short stock ; but It
failed almost , completely. Neither In London
nor n Now York did the anticipated disasters
como to Unlit. In London there were perhaps
a doton broker failures , onljr ono of which ,
however , was ot any comtMiuonco. while
nearly nil were these of small business mon
not members of the Stock oxchnngo , nnd
described on the London market suinowhat
contemptuously ns "Jobbers. "
The end ot llio week's experience , therefore ,
has boon a dl-tlnct Improvement In conlldonco ,
nnd conlldonco at this moment Is the ono thlmt
needful. The accidents of the week have
shown wllh unusual force how closely In these
days the world's financial mnrkots nro bound
together. In U.IDO ! court and Wall si root the
week's experiences have boon Identical ,
bolh as to tlmo and character. A
< ll Iterance has oxl-tod In the fact
that while Now York has gathered encourage
ment from the Increasing stsns at n move
ment of foreign gold In tills direction , London
has regarded wllh BO mo apprehension the
drain upon Its reserves. It Is , however , hardly
possible that a steady Improvement In the
American markets should not far moro thnn
offset In London the Incident of n heavy specie
export. In polntof fact thu Hank of England's
gold balance has for n fortnight been lurgor In
amount than at any porlod In the last fifteen
years.
In today's mnrkot hlehor prices were re
corded at the opening of business on the Slock
exchange , an advance nt ! per cent to H per
having boon established lu the face ot lower
cables from London. In the upward move
ment at this tlmo Louisville & Nashville , Gen
eral Electric , American Sugar , Manhattan and
the grangers were most prominent. The rUe
wns stimulated by reports that n new bull
combination had been formed wllh a certain
operator , heretofore conspicuous in Industrial
deals , us manager. 1'ooplo In a position to know
thought that tno rumors grow out of the fact
that the operator who hud been In u quiescent
mood of Into had purchased u line of slocks on
the break early In llio week for u lutn. The
Kansas bunk trouble and tbo attachment of
the SchlcsliiKcrmlno property caused a change
In Kontlmont and the early gain was not only
lost but a not decline of U to K per cent wns
recorded for the day. The bank statement
with Its gain In reserve llio first Increase ro-
porlod slneo Way 27 last checked the decline
for n time , but at the close the tendnncy was
downward.
Chicago Gas was hoavlly sold by a leading
hour broker nnd under his offering the prlco
fell to G15 . No special reason was assigned
for the selling. General Electric also lacked
support and fell from G5M to G2Ji. closing at
G27i. Among the grangers Northwestern was
notably weak on the Schleslnger embarrass
ment. The common , utter u fractional ad
vance , foil to 109M nntl loft elf at 100. Hulll-
moro & Ohio nnd Hurllngliin & Qulncy were
23 per cent , l/oulsvlllo & Nashville at 2 per
cent , Western Union , Kock Island and North
western at 5 per cent und St , 1'unl and Chicago
Gas at 0 per cent for carrying purposes. Tlio
nmrkot closed weak. The salon of slock wore
70,883 shares.
Tbo I'ost s > ays : Ono thing was prelly evident
from today's hanicstalomont , that money with
drawn a fortnight slnco from bank deposits
has no ! been returned. The extraordinary
contradiction In Die statements publicly given
out by officers of savings banks makes this a
somewhat delicate matter for discussion , but
enough of these genllomen have discussed the
situation frankly to Rlro fair confirmation to
belief that such withdrawals had boon
very larce. There Is no sign of their rodcposlt
In tlio statement of today. What this state
ment reflects Is material HhrlnkuRO in bolh
loan and deposit accounts , the aggregates of
which , after deducting from the loan account
and the clearing hoaso certificate cancolu-
tlons , are pretty much the sumo. No doubt
the breaking down of murfilns I u Tuesday's nnd
Wednesday's markotsexpluliu seine of tno loan
contractions. At any rate , It must be evident
that the changes are chiefly local. The gain
In specie hus been explained , the loss lu legal
tender Is loss plainly accounted for. Con
servative estimates had reckoned nt least
81,000,000 rocelvdd on shipment from Interior
points. It Is not easy , therefore , to explain
the not currency loss of 8878,000. Fortu-
nnloly the reserve Itself thows a material
gain , ot which the moral otTcct on the money
market may be considerable.

unusually liberal and prices have ruled lower

Kvcrytldng seems to hnvo worked against
the cattlemen this week , nnd values havngono
( o smash. The early marketing ot western
range cattle , continued stringency In the
money market , forcing holders to realize on
their stock whether In n marketable
condition or mil , excessively hot
weather , paralyzing the consumptive donfand
for beef nnd making the shipping of cattle on
the hoof nn expensive hazard , all combined
to nmko the week memorable us ono of the
very worst the trade has over experienced.
Qood , fat , dry lot Moors have been compara
tively scarce. Imt In Hpllo ot this fuel , prices
have sutrorod a decline of f rom 20c to 40c on
nil grades. The brunt of the decline , however ,
has fallen on the half-fatted and grassy
stock , both native uud western , nnd values
nro elf anywhere from 60c to 70c compared
with last wook. Most of the wuslarn cattle
coming forward now are llttlo better thnn
feeders. This inferiority In quality , together
with the fact that local bouses nro buying
hundreds of cheap Texascuttlo In Kansas City
almost every day , nmko prices rulnou-sly low
nnd the trudo bad. The cow market perhaps
bhowod the most decline ns scarcely tiny dry lot
cow.s nro coming now nnd the oll'erings tire
made up largely of Inferior grass stock , which
Issollli gall of GOo to7Gc lower than n week
ngo. The excessive supplies of feeders has
demoralized that branch of the business und
prices dropped 2Dc to 40c on all grades.
Itocelp'd today were nearly double lusl Snl-
urday's run , and nearly four limes us many
as were wanted. There were ever 2,300 cattle
on sale , the quality of llio olforlngs running lo
extremes of good and bail , mostly to extremes
of bad. Conditions were much the sumo us on
the two days Immediately preceding
and although the market was weak
und lower anil undoubtedly llio very worst so
far lids year , llio amount of the decline wns
difficult to determine , prices were so uneven
nnd donlors' views so wldo apart. The fair lo
cholco 1,200 to lGOO-lb. beovoj , atfrom $4 to
$4.(35 ( and the fulr lo good 1,000 lo 1,100-lb.
steers nt from $3.76 lo S4.35 wtro nny-
where from lOc lo 20c lower than
yesterday , while Ific to 25c would hardly
cover the decline on the Kilissy and hulf-fut
stock that sold at from $3.25 lo.83.76. It WHS
hit nnd miss , catch-as-cutch-can. On lots of
common cattle sollara could not get n bid , to
say nothing of making a sale , and ut thn close
hcurcely us much had boon sold us was loft In
the pens to spend Sunday In the yardi or on a
trip to Chicago ,
There was not much doing In cows for the
reason that tlioro wus not much to bo dono.
Including holdovers thuro were bcarcoly a
dozen loads of cows and mixed stock In the
yards , lluycrs' wnnts were not ut all
Dressing und the supply changed Imndi
slowly nt nil of a lOc decline ,
common to choice cows and heifers soiling ut
from $1.25 to $3 , wllh llio bulk of the trading
ut from { 1.50 to $2.05. Hough stock was In
poor demand und lower wllh common , the
very good bulls selling around from tl.OD to
S'J.bO. Vouls were In fulr rocpjost ut ubout
steady prices , with sales ut from $2 to J5.
The feeder trade wnsiulot. | OlVerlngn , liolh

limited Inquiry from oulhldgrs Iho movement

lower thnn the close of last week. Uood to
