7P Vy 15 THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : ' 'SUNDAY , AUGUST 2 , 1800. DI ; Questions of General Interest Considered by the National League. CONCLUSIONS EXPRESSED IN RESOLUTIONS Smniiiiir- thr Imiitirliinl ritpcrn Ill-nil , nnil the IlHiiHlon I'ro- vokcil liixtrncllvp SlnltntlcK . Ulllvvrii Kli-ctcil. fht fourth annual Convention of the t'nltcd State * League of Local Building and Loan associations , held In Philadelphia last week , was the most Important In the history of the organization. Nearly all the northern Rtatcs , from Nebraska to the Atlantic , and two of the southern states , were represented , The national league Is composed of dele gates from the various state leagues. It Is nol sectional. Though the northern repre sentation was overwhelming , the reason Is to be found In the great growth of home building co-opcratlon north of the Ohlc river. Much progress has been made In thai direction In the south , but the associations there have not been obliged , like their compatriots of the north , to organize In de fense of legitimate association principles. The sixty odd delegates present represented G.OOO associations , with aggregate assets ol $150,000,000 In round numbers. The share , holders In these associations comprise n grand army of 2,000.000 persons , young and old , and ot both sexes , and their transac tions In a year approach $200,000,000 , mosl of which represents the thrift of wage- earners , who comprise 80 per cent of tht membership. The sessions of the league lasted three da > s two days devoted to solid business , ant ono to pleasure. Philadelphia , the "City o Homes , " where the association took roe nlxty years ago , looked after the comfor nnd enjoyment of Us guests , and rlgh royally illil It dispense In full measure thi hospitality for which It Is Justly famed. Apart from the papers read and discussed the conclusions of the convention cmbracei four features of general Interest : A declarn tlon In favor of a sound American dollar worth Its face the world over ; the establish mcnt of a bureau to distribute intormatlot of Interest to associations ; a resolutlot favoring a compulsory reserve fund for thi better potcctiou ot shareholders ; cffectlvi state supervision. Many Important papers were read ant their merits discussed by men who havi been conspicuous In the movement for man ; years. Among them were Judge Seymou Dexter of 131mIra , N. Y. , founder of thi league and author of Its motto , "The Amerl can Home , the Safeguard of America ] Liberties ; " Michael J. Drown , and Addlsoi II. Ilourk of Philadelphia , foster fathers o the Pennsylvania system , the latter a mem ber of the Philadelphia Ledger staff ; Jullu Stern of Chicago , president of the league , am attorney for the Illinois associations ; Frpi BaJcr of Ohio , the champion of the Daytoi plan ; Joseph II. Palst , president of the Pcnn aylvanla Stnto league ; Mr. Uosenthall o Cincinnati , editor of the Co-operative News and Samuel Eldrldgd of lloston , chnmploi of the Massachusetts system of co-opcratlv banks. How well the associations of the countr ; passed through the business depression o the last year was touched upon by Preslden Stern in his address. "It is with keen satis faction , " he said , "ttiat wo can report tha the local building and loan association have passed through the business depression and the general shrinkage ofvalues con sequent thereon , with an excellent showing that , notwithstanding the fact that th Interests confided to them are so largo ii amount , so widely spread in territorial extent and often In the hands ot , men of com paratlvely limited experience ; yet the con sorvatlsm of management and the honest ; of purpose have saved them from any grca losses. " SOUND MONEY. The declaration of the league In favor o an honest dollar and against currency dc basement was adopted unanimously , am with significant enthusiasm. It reads a follows : 1. That it Is the sense of this meetini that the Interests of all shareholders o building and loan associations of the Unlte < States demand that the present standan of values , upon which our monetary systcn has been based since the resumption o specie payments In 1870 , shall remain un changed and Inviolate. 2. That we bellevo that the Interests o every class in the community , and cspe dally those of the great wage-earning class Imperatively demand that every dollar li circulation , whether coin or paper , shall b equal in purchasing power , and , therefore legal In value , to every other. 3. That patriotism demands that the "dol lar" bearing the mint mark of the Unite States shall be the equal of the dollar c the most advanced nations , and entitled t full faith and credit all over the , world ; am to that end It must bo maintained free fron all suspicion of debasement or repudiation BUREAU OF INFORMATION. The proposed bureau of information wa thn subject of a favorable report by a ape clal committee appointed at the Clevclam convention and tha recommendations wor concurred in. The purpose ot the bureau I indicated by Ita name. Heretofore there ha been no attempt to collect and compll facts bearing on association work In gen oral. Annual reports nro made by man ; BlatcH , and ono embracing the nation wa : prepared by the United States commissions of labor In 1S94. It Is now proposed to col Icct these reports annually and such otho Information as may be available , digest ani condense them and render them avallaul for general reading. Besides the burcai will compile in convenient form pamphlet and leaflets designed to spread the gospc ot thrift , and thus , whllo contributing t the growth of co-opcratlvo associations. In crease the sura of human happiness repro BcntcJ by money saved or homes purchased The bureau will ha In charge of the secrc tary and assistant secretary of the league. COMPULSORY nESKRVB FUND. The endorsement of a compulsory rcserv ( und provoked llttlo opposition. The state ot Ohio and Miu'Bacluisetta require a 5 pc cent reserve fund by law , whllo in othc states many prudent associations have ci tablUhr-il such fund. The Idea Is to affon misonuldo protection against losses sui talnud In due course of business. A re BITVC fund Is an essential feature of assr clatlons operating under what Is known a thn Dayton plan. It U the policy ot safe : * for all associations ami Its adoption genet eally cannot bo too highly commended , INSTRUCTIVE STATISTICS. Michael J. Brown of Philadelphia gave n Instructive history ot the association move mcnt In Pennsylvania. Thcio are 1,239 so cli'tlra In the state. Their axsets amount t J103,313S46 ; gains , $1C.761 , : J1.1J ; ovcrag gain pvr association , J13.52S.OS ; cash incom ' for ono year , $ H.432.CSCi7 ; average Incom prr association. $35,03I.G3 ; average assets pe aitoclAtion , $53,602.11 ; average membersul per association , 219 ; total shares , 1Col.811 Philadelphia alone , he sali ] , showed 482 m Eoclutloiis , with assets aggregating $13 , 000.000. A paper byY , R. Smith ot Chicago deal with tlm growth ot co-operation in that cltj Ho xlattM that one association dated back t 1S73 , that the Uital which had made report for the paper wan 333. but that twelve ha made no report * . The Invented capital , h salt ] , amounted to $13.000,000. and the largca amount represented by an individual assocla tlon wnn inure than $1,000.000. The res estate loan * made were $3tt,000,000 , ther \vero Til.TSO shareholders neil 20.700 borrow Ing members. Sluco 1S73 $30.000,000 bail bee paid In , representing 0,000 homes , PAYIKQ MATURING SHARES. Judge Seymour Dexter nddrcxscd tbo cot veutlou on the "Best Method of Payln Maturing Share * . " This la a subject ot grea iatertst to young aM < odatlois. Most assc clatlons at their organization secure a lirg number ot shareholders. Thesa ere ncoet sarily bunvhed in one serif i. Ax the share approach maturity thu prubl m ot provldln cash to take care ot the unpledged share It a perplexing one ( or directors. As means to the tnd JuJgo Dexter recommend the following by-Uvrs , It csuilitent wit state la\v "When each tree share reaches Us mature vcltio the payment ot dues thcroon nhnl ciaso aud the halOer thereof rhall IK pa ! ut of the fund of the association the matured value thereof , with such rate of In- crest as shall be determined by the by- awn , from the time the board of directors hall declare such shares to hare matured until paid , but subject nevertheless to the ollowing conditions and provisions namely , hat when the association shall be Indebted ipon matured shares all receipts Into the rcasury of the association shall bo divided s follows : "One-third for the payment ot matured hares , one-third to borrowers and one-third if withdrawals of non-matured shares , but n the event there shall not be a demander or the one-third set aside tor borrowers , 01 or the full amount thereof , any remalndet eft , after all demands for loans are satis fied , shall bo applicable to the payment ol matured shares ; and In the same manner , II here Is no demand for the payment of with drawals of non-matured shares , or sufilclcnl o absorb said one-third of the receipts , anj remainder shall be applicable to the pay ment of matured shares. "The holders of matured shucs shall fl ! < heir notice cf desire for payment of the same and they shall be paid in the onler ol he filing of such notices. " VOLUNTARY LIQUIDATION. The paper submitted by Mn C. F. Dcntlej of Grand Island dealt with the subject o "Voluntary Liquidation ot Ilutlding Assocla lions. In It Mr , Hentley said : "In the history of an association It some times happens that Its Internal affairs 01 external circumstancci are such that it I : undesirable for It to continue business. Thi causes of failure that we wish particular ! ] to consider In this connection are those li which , without wrong doing , or even with out serious Incompetcncy on the part of thi managers , an association finds Itself so sit ttated that It has but llttlo prospect for i successful career. Many circumstances ma ; tend to place an association in such a posl tlon. Dlssentlon may creep In among It officers or stockholders , so that they cm no longer work together to advantage. Thi Held that an association seeks to occupy ma ; be too small , or It may be already occuplei by some strong anil popular association Financial depression , either local or general may have caused such a serious decline ti values as to make the worth of an assocla lion's shares questionable , and thus repc new membership. One association found Itself not enl ; obliged to discontinue business , but 1 seemed to bo restricted to the choice ot om of two plans either to pay Its members ol In the order of filing notice of wlthdrawa or to go Into the hands of a receiver. For tunately. however , a more rational plan wa adopted by comuiou consent the right ti demand payment In the order of filing no tlccs ot withdrawal was \\alvcd , and asset were converted into cash and distributed pr rat a. "It would bo the duty ot the mauagers o an association In liquidation to have an ac counting with each ot its members ; to scpa rate , In such an accounting , the amount due to or by the member on different ac counts , particularly keeping the stock ac count separate from any other to the cm that it may be seen whether all have con tributcd to the stock account to the exten required by their subscriptions under th association's rules , so thnt the assocla lion's claim for delinquencies on tub scrlptions may bo enforced , and to th further end that a satisfactory basis ma ; bo reached for declaring a dividend. "It is not easy In a paper ot this char actcr to define with particularity the scop of such a law , nor Is It necessary or dc strablo that an attempt should bo made t do so. The propositions which It Is desire to emphasize arc simply these : That thcr are circumstances under which the tlmel discontinuance ot business by ah associatlo will save its membership from loss , an that. In order to enable associations to dis continue business In a dignified , honorable and creditable manner whenever the con tinuauce of their business Is undesirable legislation should be framed In every stat so as to provide a practicable and luexpen stvo way In which they can cease activ operations , refusing all new business an settling up all old business. In other words that the analogies be found In the vol untary liquidation of other institution should , as far as practicable , be adapted b Jaw to the uso'of building associations. " OTHER QUESTIONS CONSIDERED. The old controversy over the serial an the permanent plans , known as the Phila delphla and Dayton systems , was llvelie than usual , and was participated in b Judge Dexter , Mr. Eldrldge , Mr. Badcr an others. The convention did not cndors cither plan , but plainly indicated a prefer cnce for the serial. Espy W. H. Williams of Louisiana rea a brief paper In which he suggested tha the debt of the national government shoul bo refunded by issuing bonds of small de nominations , so that they could be with ! the reach of the many small investors i this country , .and thus relieve the govern ment of the foreign bondholders. A uumbc of delegates made comments on the papei and aevcral of them declared that if BUC a plan was made feasible they would wage that within twenty years the whole del would , be owned by citizens of this countr and not by foreigners.

CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Bank Clearings Show Very Gratifying Gain ! Over a Tear Ago , COUNTRY COLLECTIONS ARE FAIRLY GOOD JolililiiR Trmlc Cnntlniirn Dull III MORI All I.liifx DoltiRfl of tin.Mumt - fnrltircrM nnil 1'rourrcHH of the llotiii * liiiliixtry 31uvoiucnt. In morcliandlsinK circles the pront com plnlnt in every department of trnile la th ( Inck of demand. In some departments then Is more activity thnn In others , but nil np pcnr to bo affected In n prontor or lesi deRreo by the diminished purchasing powei of the people In general. Values on mos llr.cs of merchandise arc low. In fact li many cases lower thnn the cost of produc tlon , but low prices do not appear to bi n. dunk-lent Incentive to Induce free buying This In brief Is the situation in nil sec lions of the country. Reports from nl the Icndlnp cities Indicate the existence o the same light demand for Roods that 1 : complained of In Omaha. As a mutter o fact business is somewhat spotted , that I : one branch of the Jobbing trade may bi good In one locality , but some other wll bo very poor In the same locality , whlli the revcrso may be true nt other points Thus n buyer for n local house who has Jus returned from the east reports that thi dry goods trade In New York and nt mos eastern points Is extremely dull nnd tha almost nothing Is doing In that line. HI reports are borne out by the trade papers which complain very loudly of the stragna tlon In thu eastern dry poods market. Oi the contrary , there Is a very fair buslnes doing In the dry goods line nt Omaha , nm It Is nsscrted by some that there Is mon activity In dry goods along the Mlssour rlvrr than In any other section of th < union. On the other hand , come reports of i fair business doing In hardware down east while locally trade Is none too good. Tlv representative of n largo mnnufacturln : house who was In the city the other da ; said that ho found business In hardware very good In thu eastern states and n : far west ns Illinois , but when he arrlvei In Chicago business was simply dead , am ho found It quint from there westward. In spite of the fact that there nri > Inrgi crops of vegetables nnd many kinds o fruits which reduce the demand for cnnnci nnd dried fruits , the grocery business o the city has been In very fair shupo am local Jobbers are finding no fault. BOOT AND SHOE TRADE. Trade in boots and shoes has been rathe quiet. After It Is all summed up it must b < borne In mind that business a year ago wa in a condition very far from satisfactor ; and the present situation Is not only m worse , but If anything better than It wa at the commencement of August a yea ago. The volume of business doing , taklni Into consideration all lines , Is really largei as is evidenced by the Increase In the ban ! clearings. Collections in the country arc very fait showing that there Is considerable mone ; in circulation , and It Is expected that will the marketing of the old corn , still In crib and In farmers * hands , there will be a stll further loosening up In the money situation The live stock market nt South Omnh ; has been very quiet till the past week owln to the very light receipts of cattle. Thl Is really between seasons , ns It Is too Int to expect many cornfed cattle nnd to early for the range cattle to como ver : freely. There Is some talk to the etTec thnt range cattle arc moro iiumerou this year than usual , and If that be tru business ought to gradually Improve an show considerable activity later In th month. The receipts of hogs have als been light , due , apparently , to the lo\ prices that have prevailed during the pas week , the market having touched the low est point on record. The demand for nl kinds of packing house product Is llmltet a'nd for that reason the packers are no strong- buyers and the market shows ver little life nnd activity. The country produce market has als been quiet. At most points In the slat there Is a local supply sutllclent ' to mec nil demands , so that there 'is verj" llttl shipping1 business. Fruits do not move ol very readily , ns the demand does not ar pear to be very urgent so far this seasor The large quantity of southern peaches ai riving la hurting the trade In Callfornl fruit , as the southern fruit Is the cheapo and Is preferred by many consumer ! Southern fruit , however. Is not put up I such attractive shape ns the Cullfornl nnd does not possess the keeping qualities FACTORY FACTS. Business among the manufacturers of th state Is as good as could be expected fo the middle of the summer. The Kearney canal Is being dredged s ns to Increase the volume of water avail ahlo for manufacturing purposes. Mark Levy and several other Hasting capitalists arc cultivating several hundre acres of chicory nnd propose to build factory this fall for putting It on the mai kct , as Hastings does not propose to b outstripped by Fremont In Uic chicor business. The Kearney cotton mills are working full force of 2M operatives and have order ahead sutllclent to take nil of thf > outpu for the next two months. All the Mlssoui river jobbers are handling their brands. The Kearney cereal mills have beg opened again and are now turningou largo quantities of rolled o.its. The Kearney Cycle company is turnln put a largo number of wheels. A Jlam benu club composed of sixty riders of th Kearney wheel has been organized In Keai ney. showing- the prldo of the people c that city In their factory , nnd the lara sales that have been made nt home. The Oxnnrd Beet Sugnr company n Grand Island , as well ns the Norfolk com ? Snyi l3..Puuln everything in shnpo fo the handling of the fall crop of beeti About 8,000 acres wrro planted this sea son , nnd from present Indications will yicl a large harvest , iThei.HnUnS ? , Mllllntr company report difficulty In tilling orders , as th < / local dt inand Is sufllcient to consume the most o Its product. A year ago largo qunntltle of northern nour was In Hastings , but th excellent quality of the homo product tc gether with a strong home patronage sentl ment on the part of th pcoiilo of th community has completely changed th situation. The A. B. Smith Syrup company of Hnst Ings has added a vinegar plant to Its fnc tory and is converting a large quantity o low grade corn ayrup Into vinegar. OMAHA GI3XKRA& SIAUKKT.
