THE OMATTA DAILY BEE SlfNDAY , AUG'US't 19 , 1801 Jobbing Situation Remains Practically Un changed. BANK CLEARINGS SHOW DECIDED GAIN IMunl Number of Orders Arriving lint 8m l In Viitiitno Pnnsnso " ' thn Tiirlff Hill JtcllovcB Homo of thn Uncor- ti\lnty l.lvo .Stuck. It being tlio oft season In a good many lines ot business , no great activity Is to bo anticipated In Jobbing circles. At the same time about the usual number of orders nro arriving and tbcro Is a good deal of business doing In tlio Jobbing district. Tlio great trouble Is , bowover , tbat tlio orders are nearly all very smalt and tlio volume ot busi ness Is not large In consequence. It re quires Just about as much labor to nil a small order as It docs to prepare a larger one tor shipment , BO that the Jobbers have plenty to do There Is every Indication that this will lie a year ot small orders , as the retail trade of the country Is In such condition that the merchants cannot bo expected to buy liber ally for some tlmo to como. The passage ot the tariff bill was a wel come ovcnt to the business men of the city , ai It nerved to rcniovo some of the un certainties surrounding the business situa tion , though Its provisions may not have been pleasing to all. While some of the effects of the bill on the market have al ready been anticipated , there Is no doubt but what a good many other changes In values will occur. Tor example , In liirdware the price on sporting guns of foreign make , a good many ot which are sold In the west , will como down about 10 per cent. Cutlery of foreign make and tin plate will be lowered in price. The reduction In the tariff on tlio latter will make a very material difference In the price of that article. The American manufacturers , according to a local hard * ware Jobber , have had a very flno thing the past summer. Hvory ono has been buying In too small lots to Import plate , and , In consequence , the American manufacturers have had all the trade. It would appear that these manufacturers have reached a position where they expect to be able to com pete with the foreign manufacturers In spite of the reduction In the tariff. With the ab solute certainty that the duty on tin plato would be reduced , men have been putting capital Into new plants or enlargements of existing plants for the manufacture of tin plate. Within a few days Mr. David D. Oliver , general manager of the Oliver Iron and Steel company , was quoted In Httsburg dispatches as saying that the company's mill on South Fifteenth street , I'lttsburg , would soon bo turned Into- ono of the largest tin plate mills In the world , and the American Manufacturer of the same city said : "Thero Is just now considerable activity In making preparation for the manufacture of tin plate. A number of new projects that have been on paper merely have been commenced In earnest. Old mills are nuking additions , and the tin plato trade thus Increases the activity In numerous lines of the Iron and steel trade. " The list of good * that will bo affected by the tariff changes Is too long for enumeration In this connection. In a good many lines It Is still a question as to what effect the now tariff will have and on these the future course of the market will bo a matter of Interest. The situation In the drouth-stricken dis tricts of the country tributary to this mar ket continues a leading topic of discussion among the local Jobbing fraternity. As noted last week there are a good many schemes proposed for relief In the way of supplying work for farmers who have lost their crops , but none of the plans proposed appear to be In any danger of being car ried out. A merchant who was In the city tlio other day from a western county rather discouraged those who have , been advocating the furnishing of work by Claiming that the people In his county had openly stated that the county was In duty bound to support them without work. An event of special Interest to manufac turers of the state was the banquet gl\on the merchants of Beatrice by the Manufac turers and Consumers association on last Thursday evening. The attendance was very largo and according to all reports the busi ness men present were very favorably Im pressed with tlio excellence ot goods of Ne braska manufacture , as placed before them on the banquet board. The attendance of Omaha members of the association was not so great as at the recent banquet In Ne braska City , owing , no doubt , to the time that would bo required In making the trip to Dcatrlco and return. Nearly rll the cities of any commercial Importance have during the past week been nblo to show an Increase In the matter of clearings as compared with a year ago , so many , In fact , that there Is a gain of 8 per cent for the whole country. While Omaha does not show as largo an Increase as many cities she Is considerably above the average , the gain at this point amounting to 17.0 per cent. cent.Business Business men generally appear to bo antici pating some Improvement In the business situation of the country and the course of events In the business world Is being care fully watched for signs pointing In the right direction , nvery favorable change Is grasped upon as an Indication that the tldo has turned , and matters of comparatively small Importance , that In ordinary times would not attract much attention , afford at the present tlmo no llttlo consolation. The report of the Imports and exports for July , which has Just como to hand , Is looked upon as ft. most favorable Indication. The Imports of goods of foreign mar.ufacturo for the month of July were the largest of any month silica the commencement of the business depression a year ago , the total being $65,251,057 , of which amount $38,959,913 was for articles free of duty. It Is claimed that the Im ports of goods liable to duty would haTe been still larger had It not been for the fact of the Impending tariff bill and the prospective reduction of duties. The total exports for July were $52.713,133 , against exports In July , 1893 , of $69,113,857. The seven months ending July 31 show almost exactly the same exports for both 1893 and 1891 , the figures In the first case being SI57.G11.3M , anu In the second $157,112,411. The Imports for UK same period were $520- .18,1,571 In 1893 , and oMy $401,191,253 In 1894. The falling off In art.-lcs Imported free of duty for the seven mo.Uhs was about $30- 000,000 , while in 0-itla lo articles It was nearly $90,000,000. The changes In tha Market for country produce and llvo itocft 'lave , for the most part , been favorable io shippers , the gen eral tendency of valiui Jclng upward. Several lines of country produce have shown substantial Implement , as will be noted from the inorUit reports given In another column. In i/iost Instances the ad vance Is ascribed to a falling oft In the re ceipts. Fruits wore also considerably higher at the close than trey were at the opening of the week. The live stock market has also been on the up grade. The cause for this would appear - pear to bo due In part to the Improved con dition of eastern markets and to a better local demand. The ending ot the strike of the picking house em ployes has placed the locnl packers In a position to do business once more with out hindrance , and they have been much more liberal buyers than they were n week ngo. In the way of cattle the receipts have been too light to supply the demand on some days , and the market 1ms been gradu ally working to a higher level. The re ceipts ot hogs have boon fair , but not heavy enough to prevent the market from nnklng a rapid advance. Upon the whole , the mar ket lius been qulto satisfactory , so far as sellers were concerned. AS DUN 8KK8 IT , fioma ( ioixl Will Como from tlio Drouth If I'urmori Only llti il , "Trnde Is not Improved , " sum the local innnnger of n. O. Uun & Co.'a mercantile agency , referring to commercial conditions for the week. "Copious showers have fallen In many parU of the state , breaking the drouth , but they nro too lute to do much Kpod , except for fall pasturage. Hay Is -short , corn a failure , and the farmers of KNebraska will this year bo buyers and con- ' \jumers Instead or producers. "Theso dry years ore productive ot good In ono way. They turn attention to the Importance of Irrigation , rind emphasize the necessity < > t varied farming fmrlnit the coming winter considerable work will be done In rrcnvntlng ditcher nnd bringing lands under water. It would be good nui Inesi sense on the part of our western counties to bond themselves for fund * to create Irrigation cnnnls , not only for the Hake of future benefits , but because thH would give employment to many worthy mr > n who will need wages for the support of their families. , . "llxccpt that the tariff question Is In all probability settled for the present , nothing has occurred to stimulate trade during the week. The effects of the new tariff law have not yd been fill to anv considerable extent , nnd the activity anticipated from Its enactment must necessarily wait until Hi terms nro fully understood and the- pres ident has nillxed his signature. , "In these troublous times men should be especially careful not todo or say any thing which will unfavorably affect the credit of business men or firms Nothing In the world Is HO sensitive as credit. The lenst suggestion of danger frightens a creditor , nnd mnny a firm which has been slightly embarrassed bus been driven upon the rocks of li revocable bankruptcy by a rumor having only a shadow of truth as "The strike has been declared oft at South Oinahi , nnd one more failure of the sympa thetic walkout has been added to history. It Is to be hoped labor troubles are ended now. This country has burdens enough to bear nt present without the self-imposed one of a labor strike. " BNOW , cinmcii & CO.M vinws. Illiniums Down to Iliirdpnn unit Dcnlars Preparing for Itctter Things Albert Andrlano , local superintendent for Snow , Church & Co.'a mercantile agency , writes ; "To the casual observer there Is no ap parent change In the business situation this week. Much complaint Is heard of the crop failure In the west , and much despondent talk is general. To those , however , who are In a position to carefully observe all ex isting conditions nnd rate them correctly , there Is a. very decided change In the tone of trade , both general nnd local. The tlnal passage of the tariff measure has had a noticeable effect on business In the cast. Stocks and bonds almost Immediately as- Hiimed a firmer tone , and a steadier market prevails In American securities , both at home and abroad. There Is little doubt In the minds of eastern tradets that business men in general will experience a gradual revival during the next few months "At Omaha nnd other Jobbing points In the west thn crop failure is discouraging tea a certain extent , and will no doubt retard the progress of events , but both wholesalers and retailers nro gradually recovering from the shock occasioned by the misfortune of n shortage of the crops. The prospects were altogether so favorable and po en couraging early In the season , the acreage of corn planted so large , that business men had come to rely largely on the result an abuuJ nt crop a. term synonymous with prosperity and easy times. The total failure of the crops in some sections and the par tial failure In others naturally resulted In e\treme disappointment. It will take some time for this teellng to wear off , but grad ually It will give place to a feeling of more confidence , and there can be little doubt that the revival of trade In other localities will materially affect business here. "The enactment of the tariff measure and the gradual revival of trade In the east will naturallv benefit western Industries. This about characterizes the situation In conservative business circles at Omaha , at Lincoln , and other points In this territory. It Is difficult to state at this time Just to what extent business * will be affected this fall , Orders are coming fairly well In all staple lines , while dealers in luxuries still complain of a slackness In trade. Retail business Is still In the dull season , and little is to bo expected until some time In September. Wholesalers are very careful In extending credit. Retailers of the better class are ordering very lightly. There Is little demand for money at the banks from responsible sources. There are many claims for collection In the hands of agencies , but most of them are hard and slow. There Is no doubt that fall trade will be rather light In general , but merchants are prepared for this , and it Is not such a serious pros pect as might be the case under other cir cumstances. "A matter which la being agitated to some extent In business circles Is an amend ment to the collection and foreclosure laws. These are so lenient In this state as to seriously affect the credit of the community , and there Is a general demand on the part of responsible merchants for the enact ment ot such laws as will amply protect the Intel ests of local wholesalers , and pro tecting the Interests of easier creditors and Investors , encourage a feeling of confidence much needed at this time. This Is an Important year for Nebraska. It is a legis lative year. An eastern capitalist largely Interested In this and other western states , and whose Investments would sum up In seven figures , recently made the statement to me 'that a failure In the crops did not do us near so much damage as the calamity cry of popullstlc legislators. ' 'Men who are well acquainted with the condition of this state , ' he said , 'have never faltered In their opinion of Its continued prosperity , nnd I hold my Investments In Nebraska ns.nrnonR the best I have. ' Eastern capitalists should be encouraged to Invest In Nebraska , and local business men should exert their ut most efforts to gain and maintain the con fidence and interest of the moneyed interests of the east.

CHICAGO , Aug , 18. In wheat tlioro was a light sicculntlvo | business , the range for the lay being limited to from % o to V4c. The feeling was easier. First trades were at fractional advances , at CWto tor Septem ber , but did not hold , and a % o to ' ,4o reaction ret In , followed by a V4o to Uo rally , became quiet , ruled steady , and closeil with September at from C3)ic to 53c. The early firmness was attributed to the receipts falling ever 100 cars from the estimates and to a smaller movement In the northwest , and the cables , whllo dull , jghowod no decline , all of which tended to strengthen prices. The mar ket , however , soon sympathi/ed with the de- cllno In corn , and lower prices followed. The northwest sold moderately and prominent local speculators also sold freely , which as sisted the wcnkness , the buying being confined - fined principally to shorU. Klevator people were moderate sellers. Reports from the spring wheat country came In , like those from the southwest one month ago , stating threshings were turning out considerably larger than expected. Private cables quoted the weather showery In England , market quiet and prices weak , and added that the French crop was ascertained to bo large , but the quality reported as unsatisfactory. The crop damage scare largely collapsed twlay , and corrf , which a week ago was BO exceedingly buoyant that It was able to lift not only Itself but every other market on the floor , was heavy as tcad and closed with a loss since yesterday of lo per bu. Wheat Joined the funeral march of corn to the ex tent of ' 4c per bu Provisions followed the procession reluctantly , closing at a moderate decline. The corn market was weak and ap peared to need more buying orders from the country , as the demand was very light. The general Impression that tlio crop dam age had been overestimated was chiefly re sponsible for the decline. Trade was fairly active. Receipts were only 245 cars , and for Monday 350 cars ore estimated. The prices of the day were made at the opening , and these were at a trifle Improvement upon the closing rates of the day before. The price for September declined lc under the high est It sold for at the opening , and It left off Ic below Its current value at the close yes terday. May pursued a similar course , gainIng - Ing for an instant at the start Vic on the previous afternoon's prices , but dropping Ic of that and closing with a net loss of % c for the day. The opening was at from 52o to G2'4c and closed at 51e. Trading in oats , while only active at times during the session , amounted In all to a very good day's business. The tone of the mar ket was easily Influenced by the actions of corn. September closed % c lower at 29c b'd. May ranged from 314c to 31c and ended with the latter price bid , a decline of % c/ilso. Provisions opened higher on light live hog receipts , but under Increased offerings soon sold down. Some steadiness was developed near the close on moderate buying , and a slight reaction followed.

The fruit market has been active during the past week , and the arrivals though laige , have been none too heavy. The demand was good all the week nnd the market gradually firmed up , nnd quotations at the close show considerable Kaln ns eompircd with the opening of the week Efforts have been madft for some time to find an outlet for Callfoinla through export chan nels , but heretofoie they have been unsuccessful , The past week cairled out the largest shipment of fruit ever sent fiom California to Europe ; In fact , It was the first experiment on a large scale. On AuBUst 4 a train left Sacramento with 11 carloads of fruit consigned to receivers In London , and the outcome of this venture will be watched with Interest. fruit dealers express some doubt aa to the success of the enterprise , feailns that the fruit will not stand the xojagc co 03 to be marketable on reachingLondon. . The falling off of the Importation of fruit from foreign ports this jenr Is remarkable. Durlnfi the llrst six weeks of the present jear there have been Imported at Now York only $21 C11 worth of oranges , ns against $142 901 Imported during the same per'od last jear. The Impoita- tlons of rals'ns ' have fallen off fiom JSG.SIO to J1G , ! > 55 , and that of nuts from JI33.21G to $111.100. Lemons have fallen off from $2G7,002 last > ear to J2U.072 for the same period In 1S34 The causes of this state of affairs ale due to two facts. One la that the financial condition of affairs In Ameika has made It Impossible to give shippers to Sicily the usual banking facili ties which this business tequlrcs 'Hie other Is that the heax y looses made by shippers and 1m- last year have made persons engaged Iiorters Sicily trade extremely cautious Then the growing of oranges in riorldi nnd California has greatly affected the forwlgn trade , suppl > lne the fruit nt a pi ICQ with which the foielgn grow era cannot compete The decreased Impor tations of rnlslns is owing to the superiority of California fruit , which has driven them out of the nmiket S rilAWIlEHniES-None APPLHS-Oood slock , per bbl , $3 003 23.

The liberal receipts for the last day of the week , unfavorable eastern markets and poor qiml- Ity were the bear features that enabled the buyers to secure a concession from jester- day's prices. The general market was dull and weak. The hogs sold all the way from steady to fully lOc loxver , the mark = t being uneven In the extreme. The best heavy hogs sold largely ut $5.25 to $5.45 , while fair to good hogs went nt $5.05 to $520 The week closed with th" bulk jf the sales nt $4 00 to $4 15 , as against $4.CD to $4,90 at tlio clobr of last week.
