The past week has developed n very
natlsfactory run of genpral business In the
jobbing district. Huyers have been In rood
attendance , In fact , ninny Jobbers Bay that
the number of vlsltlm ; country merchants
Is larger than it has been nt any time In
the past year or more , excepting only the
xvcek oCthe State fair. A. largo proportion
of those merchants who put In nn appear
ance the past week evidently came with the
expressed Intention of placing orders as the
tno.i ! of them bought liberally.
Salesmen on the road also made good
progless and the wrjolo situation as re-
sards the Jobbing trade continued In n most
BHtlsfuctory condition , only good reports be
ing heard In all quarters.
Country collections nro very seed nnd arc
likely to so continue ns long as the farm
ers have corn and hogs to convert Into
cash xvlth which to supply their wants at
the country stores.
Tim local retail trade averaged very well
the past week , though the weather was
finite severe on pome days nnd shoppers
wen Inclined t. > lemaln In doors. It 1 a
noticeable fact that there are more people
lit on.in.a and that thete 'has ' also been n
litrn' Increase In the number of working
lie > p ! - who have steady employment , both
of. lAhlch facts have been conductive to un
lmt iud condition of the retail trade ,
, 'iAHIJ TO DU.VW TUB LIN 13.
Tie line of drmarca Ion between retailers
nnd lubbers Is a question that has bothered
tl.e brains of tradesmen ever since the b -
Kliiiiini ! o : hlstoiy ami Is very llttlo nearer
II t-utlsf.i''tory solution now than at the
1 ginning. To < b tcrmlnc where the
province of HIP Jobbers ceases and dint of
the mailer begin. , to difinitely Ei'ttle what
c institutes Jubblnp and what retailing ,
though it may appear an easy matter at
Illsl slgnt In nevertheless beset with dldl-
cuttli-H tha.t have balllfd the brightest mltulM
III trade. Naturally enough the letaDcr Is
the < nlcf roinplaln.int , the tendency belnv
for the jobbi r or wholesale di-alcr to Invade
the tfrri'oiy of tlie retailer , while the latti-r
has few opportunities to Interfere with
the \ \ liuli'Saler.
The deslro to 'fell , to clean up stocks ,
especially for ras.i , and a disinclination to
disoblige frieinlH , are the chief Incentives
that lo.id the wholesale dealer to soil to
consumers , which , according to the retail
dealer's munition , constitutes retailing.
Kvi-rv lohlicr insists 11ml his house does not
retail goo'ls. ' while the retail merchant In-
Hlst.s tniu they all ilo to a greater or less
degree.
In Omaha the contest between retailers
nnd wholesalers Ins been routined almost
entirely to that branch of trade enguui'd In
handling groceries and fruits , and while no
gnat noise hntj been made , considerable
fooling has been engendered nt time1 ? . The
retail grocers have a strong oilallon
which r/'sents any invasion oT thw retailers'
dom.iln and the b-jycolt has been frequently
Invokert to bring the wholesalers to their
"way " of thinking.
A" u Jobber re.mnrkfd the other day. It Is
no onsy matter to keep from selling goods
to consumers at times. For example , a per
sonal friend of the jobber comes along and
nsk as a favor that a certain article be
eold to him. perhaps It Is the firm's banker ,
or pertnps It ls a jobber engaged In s-oine
other line of btiMmss , who Is In a position
to be of great ass'stanco nnd who has been
very nccmnmcdatlng at various time * what
Is to bo done ? A refusal nlnn times out often
ton offcmls and If the favor be granted the
retailer complains that his business Is being
taken from him by the jobber. One such
case would amount to very little , but In a
city where there nro a hundred hou-'es that
wholesale goods , each one of them with a
certain following of friends , It cuts quite a
flgure Thou It Is customary for men em
ployed In a jobbing house to be allowed to
liavii gooils out of the house at wholesale
prices As every house does not handle nil
the goods that are required In the family
the boys gradually make the acquaintance
of the men In tho' other houses and an ex
change of coiirto-Mes takes place by moans
of which each man employed In a Jobbing
house Is able to secure most anything that
may be desired at who csale. This practice
Is not by any means restricted to the men
on salaries , but the hoa'ls of houses practice
the runic thing. A prominent ret ill grocvr
Kald tlm other day that he bad been Intl-
niatoly acquainted with the head ff one of
the largest Jobbing hou s In the city and
1o his certain knowledge he had never spent
u dollar at a retail store In the city of
Omaha for any merchandise u-iless It might
bo for some article that could not be foun 1
In any of the jobbing houses of the city.
If Im wants a nt .M hat he gees to a wno.o-
Bnle In use where hut * are ? o'al. If It Is a
pair of shoe * some fr'end In one of the
wholesale shoe houses tits him out and FO
on through the whoio list. If he wants a
case of berries or a barrel of apples or a
few sack ? of potatoes he sends up f. one
of the i.Vho c.salo fruit or produce hou-os.
\\'hen the members of linns , all their cm-
i > loves and a long list of friends and lu-
vor'od Individuals are taken Into considera
tion It will lie seen at once that this In
vasion of the retailers' domain li a matter
of no small moment and It Is a question If
Hie retailer Is not Ju tltied In entering n
etiong protest.
The cause for complaint , however , would
not appear to be all on one side as tie
jobb'-rs have troubles of their own. In the
case of the wholesale fruit and produce
men , the retailers do not hesitate 'to buy
directly from the producer , thus to a
certain extent Invading the Held of the
wholesaler , and some of tie largest retailers -
ers receive more produce from the country
than they can tvll over their own counters
nnd become sellers In the upen market.
Kvery produce house IB at times the re
cipient of goods that are not wanted by the
retail trade , and Is compelled to let a
peddler or a consumer have Hem or see
them perish and become a total loss. It Is
t'Hpeclally so with mwt kinds of country
produce which Is perishable and ( which Is
received by the commission IIOUFCS. The
country sh'lpper sends In his produce to a
commlKslon bouse to bo sold and he expects
Ills commission house to let the Ilr.'t buyer
or the best buyer have the goods. Ho wants
the gjodH sold refiardloss of the courtesies
of trade whlcn custom In the city muy have
built up and In which IIP takes not ijio
least partlclo of Interest.
Tor ! heFo < ntd many other reasons the ad
justment of the lines and boundaries be
tween tliH two branches of trad ? are hard
to ostabllsi satisfactorily to all pit-ties In-
tnrrs'ed , nnd I horn Is always likely to be
incTo or UKK friction between the different
interests. However fair dealing an both
Bides will tend to minimize the dltlleullles.
One thing Is certain , Omaha Is one of
the poorest retalU towns of Ha size In the
vliolo country and anything that will tend
to Improve the situation will bt llkoly to
meet wlt'i favor. T'IO largo Jobbing houses ,
liowevor , can hardly be held responsible us
other uuro potent causou have boon nt

Speculation * III tll Wl'Nl
\V. H. Uoboraan. local manager of U. tJ.
Dun & Co. , speaking of trade for the week ,
say * :
"Qultp a Fensntlon wns created In Omnlm
by tho. niitioiiiieemeiit of the resignation of
the cashier of the great Chemical Nation il
Hank of Xi'.M York and the Incidents eon-
nirted with his transactions. To ( t western
tiiiin It seems remarknblo that nn Incident
of this kind fh'.uld ' attract so much atten
tion In the great commc-rclnl centerof the
MSU. Gentlemen of wealth , standing an-1
recognized alilllty enter into extensive
speculations. They suddenly discover th.it
possibly tlielr investments will he unprofit
able , and .possibly . they will sustain fosse ? .
I'lio whole ! country Is ndvl'ied ns to the do-
tulls , and the promoter Is roundly abuse 1
for inviting these Innocent caiiltallsts to
piirtlelpate In his enterprises. Many u IAC.S-
ern man has t.ikcii his wealth to the Chi
t-ago grain pit orViill street ana MIJ : seen
his fortune dissipated In n week throuph his
own h.nl judgment , aided and abetted by
genial und able brokers cither In Chicago or
New York. Nobody hears of the looses , nnii
ouisldn of i select circle no one knows any
thing regarding the brc-kers , and It never
occurs to the western commercial world to
dance a war dance on the. frame of the
broker or of hU associates who have profited
by the bad judgment of. the western In-
vector.
"Personally It has hooome exceedingly
tiresome to mo. to read from time tf > time
the i > alntlve tales of western losses which
find their way Into the eastern press. Commerce / -
merce Is only enlightened' selfishness at tlie.
best and -whether a man loses money by
Inventing In , grain or Investing In mining
stock , or by Investing In western mort
gages , I cannot for the life of me. see why
the western promoter should be ci nsldered
nny more dishonest or culpable than an
eastern promoter , so long ns the liuestors
themselves are not deliberately defrauded
by positive misrepresentations.
"Hoforo passing final judgment upon the
Institutions and persons Involved in this
particular sensation Ivmlght be well to wait
for full Information as to all the facts.
"Locally , the conditions continue to Im
prove. The early approach of spring gives
unusual promise for buplnes In this city.
The Internal Hevonue department reports
collections amounting to JCflO.OCO for the sx !
mouths ending December 31. The govern
ment fiscal year extends from July to July ,
nnd the present fiscal year ends June 3d ,
1S3S. The llirures for the first six mc-nths
exceed by JIO.ODO the total receipts for the
preceding twelve months of the- preceding
fiscal year. The month of January , ISilS ,
nhowa nearly JM.OOO more cash received by
the Internal revenue collector than was re
ceived In January. 1897.
"Under the now system of assessment the
valuation of the taxable property of the
city of Omaha Is Increased to $33.000000 , a
fact worthy of comment because It Is well
known that our rnto upon former assess
ments was the occasion of considerable un
favorable comment In financial circle" , the
( isso'-sed valuation being extremely lox.
"At the postofllce the postage receipts
show a gain of $3 COO for the month of Jan
uary This Is another Indication of the Im-
proveJ conditions now prevailing In this
city. Probably no public office so closely
toncheH the pulse of commerce as the post-
ofllce.
"At South Omnlm In addition to the great
Improvement In progress and contemplated
the fact in that the market I ? growing moro
rnpld'y than either of the. other two great
markets. The hog puck for the season
shows a gain of n little less than 13 per
cent over last season at Kansas City , a
little more than 17 per cent for Chicago
and a moro trifle less than 2C < pe.r cent gain
for Omaha. "

CHICAGO , Feb. 5. After a dull and un
interesting session wheat closed today nt
Uc decline. Trading1 was almost entirely
local , and fluctuation * ) were narrow. Corn
closed unchanged. Oats were strong , but
advanced only He. 1'rovlslons reached n
new level of prices , but reacted and closed
unchanged to n shade lower ,
Vor a few minutes around the opening *
wheat was Inclined to sympathize wltli the
action of the Liverpool market. That mar
ket , after opening a little higher , declined
tint ! closed Ud to VI lower In the face of
yesterday's improvrmcnt here. On this ac
count first sales of May were at n slight
decline , Slay opening at 91T 693c , against
yesterday's closlnc price of WUc. Ucsldes
the Liverpool decline , northwest receipts
continued heavy. Minneapolis and Duliith
reported a total of 387 cam , against 320
last weelc , and 279 a year ago. Chicago re
ceipts were forty-six cars. The weekly
exports were also not up to expectations ,
3,43I , < KO bu. , against 5.02u'OJO the week be
fore. A rather bearish showing of the
visible supply wns looked for Monday , and
New York reported moderate selling at the
opening for forelsji account. Notwlfistnnd.
Inp all this , the market became strong
almost Immediately. Moderate buying by
local long Interests principally supple
mented by n little covering by St. 1.-mls
brokers of lines put out yesterday , carried
the price of May steadily up to MHfi
" .VXtC. T.ip advance was helped by the con-
tined strength of oats and provisions , both
oC which markets made new prices for the
session during the morning. There were
reports of grain famine from parts of
smt lenstcrn Asia , anil California reported
a continuation of the drouth. A factor In
the advance was the report that the re
duction on the Italian grain duty would
probably lemaln In effect until the last
of May. After the advance to 9.V fii 9r > V.t'
prices rased off slowly to D3"C on realizing ,
but closing. Paris cables caused another
brief period of strength , and a reaction to
WKfiKiH-o. 1'arls wus from 40 to fi'i centimes
higher for Hour , and from 10 to & ) centimes
hi.her for wheat. During the last half
hour of the session prices gradually re
ceded. There were moderate though per
sistent offerings , prlnclpilly In the way
of local evening up transactions , and May
finally dropped to I'jc. ' That price was bid
at the close.
The market for corn was llrm but dull ,
but prices averaging a little over yester
day's close. TniJ market was a good deal
Influenced by the action of oats. Wheat
scalpers were moderate buyers. Tie slight
advance disappeared under realizing late

closed unchanged at SOUc.
Oats were again quite active , nnd the
market made a new high mark for the
season. Reports of large cable acceptances
were an Important factor In the advance.
There was heavy buying by the most In
fluential traders , and shippers and commis
sion houses took largo quantities. The ad
vance brought out liberal realizing , and
part of the advance was lost , the market

Provisions were again quite active , openIng -

were credited with considerable buying.
Prices reached the highest points of the
season , but heavy realizing at the top

OMAHA OFFICE , Feb. 5. The market
opened slightly weaker this morning t.ian
at last nlght'R close , evidently affected
by cables , which were He lowei1. Later It fi.iowed
H little strength , whleli was evenly distributed
among nil the different cereals , which It main
tained until near the elope , when It declined to
9r c for May , or Vie lower than yesterday , nnd
S3'/4u to 84n for July , or Bc lower t.ian yesterday ,
C'-rn ' closed unchanged , with oats showing a good
deal of Rlrength , nnd closed Uc higher.
AKhoiwh cables were some stronger during the
sfSBlon than nt the opening , the local crowd , w.io
are not III a position to ftnnd any material nd-
vunce , sold the market off fls Indicated abn\e.
To show the energy of the professionals In at
tempting to get the price of wheat on n little
lower level , or what they woud : term buying
ground , wo will endeavor to enumerate a few of
the theoretical facts they nre Incorporating Into
the domestic news. The substltutlin of other
grain for whcnt and the substitution of lower
grades of wheat against the phenomenally high
prlco which Mr. Lellcr heWs bis wheat at , the
weakness of the St. lx > uls market was loudly
talked of ns showing a great Influence because
of Its being located In the winter wheat Fecllan ;
thu det reused estimates of foreign requirements ,
the Increased estimates of the Argentine surplus
and u > : endld prospect for winter wheat crop and
n larger amount of spring wheat than the most
bearish Urured on , and yet the prices arc higher
than when they commenced to give this kind of
news , with a good foreign demand und the sea
board quoted ns believing thut cash wheat would
not be a drug In this country for the next three
and a half or four months , at the end of which
tlmo the new crop could be IWired upon with a
reasonable degree of certainty.
However , Ebould this kind of news continue
or Increase In volume. It IB questtJimDle whether
manipulation ( or tlie cash side of t.ie market )
will be able to control , In nny event the mar
ket. wllh these weights In the balance. Is bound
to fluctuate nnd continue giving elegant scalping
opportunities , nnd should It touch any ma
terially lower mark In the nearby futures , It Is
certainly H purchaeo for a nice turn ,
The visible supply statement Monday Is ex
pected to show anywhere up to 600000 bu. decrease -
crease In wheat.

market. The cheapness of money has led to tne
maturing of cxclmiiKe obllRntlons. whl h are

CATTLK Hceelpta of cattle were light ,
as usual at the close of the week , and with
out feature of any Importance. Such cattle
as were he-re met with rindy sale , and
everything- was wilfhed up and the yards
deserted ut an early hour.
Less than a dozen loads of cornfoil steers
\\ere offered , and none of them very Kood.
The buyers took what there were , p.iylnp
Just about yesterday's prices. A few head
sold us hln'.i ' as JI.OO , but th'-re were mi full
loads Rjod onoiiKn tc bring above $1.50.
Hutchers' stock wns In iwd request for
the last day of the week , and Ihc few
loads here sold to oed advantage. The
market wns at least steady , with buyers In
some cases calling It stroiiHoi.
Tiere WHO only one slriuu of stock cat
tle or feeders In the yards , nisil It sold on
tlie Italia of a tinner market.
The cattle market the past week was
rather moro favorable to t'.ie ' selling Inter
ests. The week started out with beef cattle
sclllnp at a llttlo stroiiKer prices , and the
market continued very llrm until Wednes
day , when It iL-celved u little backset. It
recovered , however , nnd the lo t ground
was soon regained , so thut at tie close of
the week values were a llttlo hlgncr than
wns the case at the close of the previous
week.
Tun market on cows nnd heifers followed
the lead of beef steers and showed about
the MI me gains In strength.
The trude In stock cattle started out Quite
briskly at tne beginning , of the week , but
later on ns the eountiy seemed to hold
back , and as supplies were accumulating In
Ilia 'hands of speculators , values broke fully
10o. Taward tliu last of the wcok there
wan a little better demand from the coun
try , nnd values firmed up somewhat. Tne
country has been a wild buyer all the sea
son , light stock cattle especially ssllliiR be
yond all reason. Once In a wnlle , when fat
cattle suffer a break , the country seems to
renlzp the folly of paying so much moro
for feeders than fat cattle are selllni' for.
