Uoforc the advent of the prcsont severe
cold flimp every ono was plnliif for roltl
pventlicr some wmitcd It to i/inkc Ice , oth
ers to harden up the corn which wns spoil-
Inir In the country , and still olhors wnntcd
It to ulmrpcn the demand for wlr.vcr mcr-
clmndlso. The cold wcnthvr canto , but II
would look us It those who hnd been i'my-
Ing for It overdid the matter a little , n.
they got moro th.in they wnr.U'd. It inndc
Ice imd stopped the corn from spoiling , but
irndo did not receive the Impetus exp ctu'.l ,
for the very simple reason that the iwtathei
wns so exceedingly cold tliiit buyer * ' were
kept nt homo to the detriment of the retail
business.
The retail Irndo In the city on the very
cold days was almost without exception
dull , and the snmo WHS true of thu country
trade , n.t farmni'H are not likely to drive
nny distance to buy gooils when the tern-
pcnUuro Is many degrees below zero. Un
der such condition. ! ! It Is not surprlnlnu that
the month of January linn not been entirely
satisfactory to the retail trade , and thut
Iho proapccts , which wove so promising
durlriu- the flrHt halt of the month , wcro not
entirely realized.
\Vhllo the retail trade as a whole has not
been all that could be desired certain lines
liavo done very well , and the Mime If true
of thrt Jobbing trade. The co'.d weather
stimulated Iho demand for warm food ? ,
BUdi ns overshoes , wlileh ivere rapid Rollers ,
nnd for ninny other lines as well. There
IB also a better feeling Jimons the trade ,
nnd n.H Htodts in the country nrp light gooJs
nio going out ti little more freely.
The IncrenHO In the bunk clearings over
n year ago Is n very encouraging fenturo of
the local hUHlncsp slUmtlon.
NKUIIASKA MANUFACTUnKHS ACTIVE.
Kvcr since the manufacturers of Nebraska
formed an association for the purpose of
Increasing the demand for home mnda
icoodtt the great qticHtlon calllns for n Bolu-
tlon has been how best to get their goods
before the people.of the state. It wna Ul-
\vays an easy matter to Induce a citizen to
iidmlt thut he ought to patronize Ms homo
manufacturers , but the trouble was to Im
press upon his mind the kind ot goods made
In the state.
The residents of the different cities of the
r.tato have been made familiar with No-
bruMka made goods by moans of the various
impositions that hilvo been held Hlnce the
Jiomo Industry movement was inaugurated ,
lint the farmer * have been neglected for
the rcnnon that there did not appear to bo
any practical way of reaching them. It is
now proposed , however , to po after the
farmers , and a novel plan has been adopted.
A scries of farmers Institutes nro being
held In different localities under the
auspices of the agricultural societies of the
Btate , and as the meetings are well attended
It is proposed to have a full line of Ne
braska made goods on exhibition where the
farmers can see nnd learn for themselves
as to the finality and kind of goods madu In
\Vltli tills object in view , O. C. Holmes ,
secretary of the Manufacturers' associa
tion , attended thu Institute on Monday and
Tuesday at Tccumsch am" , In addition to
making a display of Nebraska manufac
tured goods , addressed the. meeting , calling
attention to the various products ot the
state and showing liow all Interests would
bo benefited by an incrojue In the manu
facturing Industries , which might be ef
fected very easily if all ci--.zens would give
the preference to home products.
DISPLAY OF NEHUASlCA PRODUCTS.
The Tecumseh Chieftain , commenting on
the subject , says :
"The most attractive feature of the farm
ers' Institute , held In Toeuniseh this week ,
was the very elaborate display made by
the Nebraska Manufac-turi'rs' and Con
sumers' association , and . - nhldias
In charge of the society's spfre-
tary , O. C. Holmes of Omah.x. This
association la founded on the corner stone
of patriotism. By that w r mean that Its
object Is to Impress upon the minds of the
people of Nebraska the advantages accru-
Inf. from the purchase of the oroducts of
home factories , as contrasted with the
continued buying of goods made outside
the state. One great Incubus which this
wstcrn country has to contend with Is the
continual drain of Its money toward the
east. The railroads , the life and lire In-
Buranco companies , the sugar and oil trusts ,
the lumber and Iron Interests , the great
periodicals , the boards of . the various
churches , the great majority of the fac
tories , all belong to the rast nnd all arc
constantly drawing on the finances of the
west. The consequence is that this section
of the country Is being continually de
pleted of Its money and receives but very
little back through corresponding channels.
Now , If the money could be kept within
the state that Is annually spent for articles
manufactured In the cast It is very evident
that the present monetary drain would be
stopped to a very considerable extent. The
financial condition of the state would stead
ily Improve from year to year and the re
sulting benefits would extend to every cit
izen man , woman and child. The Ne
braska Manufacturers' and Consumers' as-
Hoelatlon has for Its great object the pro
motion of this idea and hence we. say it Is
founded on the corner stone of patriotism ;
for patriotism Is the love of country.
"Nebraska , though a comparatively
young state , haw a great many factories
within her borders and these factories
produce a largo proportion of the necessi
ties of life In food , clothing and machinery.
-Tho display made by the association
through Its secretary , Mr. Holmes , was for
the purpose of affording visible proof of
the output of Nebraska factories. Inviting
scrutiny and Inspection of the goods , to
the end that their consumption may be
come more general among the people.
"Wo were very much Interested In the
exhibit , as wcro all who saw It. "
From Tecumseh the exhibit was taken
to Johnson , where an Inmltiito was held
during the balance of the week , the nttend-
nneo of farmers being very large , fivirry-
ono seemed to take the greatest interest
In the subject of borne patronage nnd the
opinion Is expressed that the results of the
efforts bolng put fortli by the manufactur
ers will bo to largely Increase the demand
In the country for Nebraska products.
RASTHUX MBS IOOIC WISSTWAIUJ.
( h < - Solvency of Ionil
( 'omM'fiiN I'ri-Iliiiliinry to LIIIIIIN.
Mr , Wi II. nobcrson , manager of the mer-
tantllo agency of n. Q. Dim & Co. , speak
ing of trade matters fop the week , says :
"An eastern financier , representing ono
of the largest financial conccins In Amer
ica , spout most of the past week In Omaha.
Ho eainn not to loan money , but to' look
up the llnanclal standing of a dozen prob-
nblo borrowers uhlelly engaged in the
wholesale trade. It gave mo much Balls-
faction to liavo him express his entire
conlldcnco In the solvency of the Institu
tions Investigated. This Is the Ilrst go nil -
I no show I have neon slnco election foru-
Hlmdowlng a movement of eastern capital
to the transmlsslsslppl region ,
"Huslness people are watching the legis
lature ) very elosely and somewhat anx
iously , There Is n very general wish cx-
lircfisi'il that the lawmaklng body shall
hasten action upon the exposition bill. So
ninny other legislatures are In session ,
\\hlt-li nro waiting to BCO what Nebraska
will do for thu great occasion , that really
the enterprise must halt until Nebraska
nets. If our own state shall not I HI liberal -
oral and Juat , other states rannot bo ox-
Jieeted to bo generous. The legislature
xhould avoid delay In this matter , whatever
ulso It may do , A number of radical
changrs aru proposed In the laws respectIng -
Ing replevin , attachment , garnishment and
exemptions , and all wholesale men will
ngri'o that there Is grcut room for Improve.
Jnont In thu statutes governing the pro
cesses whereby men seek to recover what
other men ewe them ,
"Wo do not fully appreciate South
Omaha nor apprehend the enormous In
dustries centered then ? . Ono packing house
nt that point made sales aggregating J19-
000.000 last ycur and Its pay roll exceeded
11,380,000. One other honso puts up over
200,000 tons of Ice during the season , chlt'lly
for Its own consumption , though It markets
II part of thu product. Institutions like
these dffervo well of the people of the
stati ; and should not bo crippled or
crumped by hasty and lll-advlseil legisla
tion.
"Kver since my arrival In Omaha I
liavo heard a great deal of talk about
u union iKissfiiKt-r depot , but the- enter
prise iiuvt-r got beyond talk. I um happy
to announce now , however , with sumo du-
Krcu of confidence , that n now passenger
depot , ca-jmto and spacious , will grace
Tenth and Mason elrtu'ts , and that work
will begin with the opening of spring. Tha
contracts huvo been signed and sealed ,
which make It certain unit throe lines
will use the new II. & M , depot , und pos
sibly four will land their passengers there.
In my opinion thu construction of this
BtaJlon will shortly bo followed by ncttv-
Ity in Ibfsnmc direction In the norther
part of th/ > city ,
Hoptris for the year 1SW ! continue t
reach agency headquarters and I wish
were ( undent for one to publish name
and figures. Many of our depressed nn
discouraged fellow citizens would tak
heart again , for nearly every wholcsal
house In the city makes a gratifying ex
Mbit for 18 % as compared with 1 . On
of the leading IIOIIPOH made more mone
during' the last year than in any otha
twelve months of n history extending bac
n. quarter of a century. "

In the case of the opening strength , was

The cold ppcll of tlie past week has been
( treat ! ) ' appreciated by the rnllroatls. Whllo
It Interfered with passenger trnfllc for a
sliorl tlmo iliirtiiR the extremely cold
weather , It Is believed that It has had the
effect of stlmulaltns travel to ( southern and
California resorts. Up until this lime the
passingor business of the trn'nsuoiiUnoiitnl
lines , botli southward and westward , has
bc n unusually light.
A Rrealsr effect of the cold snap has been
noticeable In freight circles. The freight
ascnt , as well ns the farmers , have been
hoping for cold weather for some tlmo
Now that It has come It hns had the effect ot
drying prcat quantities of the corn through
out the stiito that wns spoiling from the
effects of damp weather , and would liavo
entirely spoiled had the moist climate con
tinued. While there has not yet been any
sudden demand on thu railroads for grain
cars , they nro bundling moro corn than they
wcro before the cold spell set In.
Assistant General KrclRbt Agent riiltllpl
ycdtcrriay said there was no doubt but
that the cold weather of the past week had
helped \d \ make Nebraska corn merchantable
and had caused quite n movement of It out
of the state. He estimated that thcro was
now 50 per cent moro corn moving out of
Nebraska than there was ten days ago.
The freight departments of tha Union Pa-
clfle , the Klkhorn nnd other ronda also report
Increased shipments of corn. The Ulkhorn
reports that since It put In grain rates to
southern porto via Superior , Neb. , a few
weeks ago , they have proven quite popular
among shippers dc'lrliiK an additional outlet
for their corn. Within the past few days ,
however , the reports of a grain blockade at
tluurprincipal gulf ports liavo changed the
shipment of considerable corn toward the
east.

All the railroads In the state are taking
advantage of the cold weather to 1111 their
respective Icehouses. The KlUhorn has been
cutting more than enough Ice to supply Its
wants for the coming season at Valentino and
Sioux City. The Union Pacific has been
filling Its houses In the state , as has also
the Burlington.
The Missouri Pacific is having Its con
tract for Ice for Its entire svstem Illlcd at
Weeping Water , this state. The men began
cutting Ice there on Monday , and are now
working In two gangs , night and day shifts ,
In order to complete the work while the
cold spell Is on. About fifty cars a day are
being cut and shipped to Tcxarlcana , Llttlo
Kock , Memphis and other southern points on
the Missouri Pacific lines. The Ice Is cut
from a small creek and from nn artificial
lake. It Is clear and measures twelve and
a half Inches In thickness. The contract of
the Missouri Pacific calls for about 8,000
tons of Ice.
The Milwaukee railroad cuts most of Its
Ice along Its northern lines In Minnesota
and the Dakotas. The Ice for the Iowa
division conies from the neighborhood of DCS
.Mollies ) , and Is being cut and stored there
now for future use.
