COINCIDENCE OF RECENT ADVANCE
Railroad Man Believes Grain Tariff
Will Net Be Changed Until
Rates to Sonth At
Eanallsed.
When the Omaha Grain exchange filed Its
suit against the Northwestern railroad ask
ing for an Injunction against that company
to force It to restore Its) through grain
rates which were reduced In the tariff
Issued December 28, the Interstate Com
merce commission was holding a session In
Chicago for the purpose of Inquiring why
the rates had been advanced.
In November, 1902, through grain rates
from Nebraska points on tho Northwestern
were about on a parity with the rates
quoted In the tariff recently Issued. For
Instance the rate on wheat from Norfolk
to Chicago was 26 ceru"s per hundred. In
December of the same year the rate was
advanced to 27 cents, and it has remained
at that figure since until the Issuance of
the new tariff In Decamber last Following
the raise In rates by the Northwestern In
December, 1902, all competing lines Issued
tariffs quoting similar advances. When
these rates were made public the Interstate
Commerce commission gave notice that the
question of the advance would be taken up
for investigation as soon as the matter
could be reached. So much work Intervened
that the commission only got to the point
where the raise could be Investigated lhst
week. Just about the time that the Investi
gation was begun the Northwestern Issued
Its new through tariff, which practically
restores the old rates in effect prior to ths
advance of December, 1902. ,
Cannot Move Either Way.
When this last tariff waa Issued the Grain
exchange took the matter up in the form
ot a suit filed in the United States circuit
court This places the Northwestern in
the position of having Its advance In rates
inquired Into by the commission at Chicago
with, the avowed intention of having them
lowered by an order of that tribunal if the
raise Is found unwarranted and at the same
time having a suit on its bands at this end
of the line for the purpose of securing the
same raise In rates which the commission
evidently believes to be unwarranted. Ae a
railroad man remarked:
"The Northwestern Is certainly up against
a stiff proposition. If it lowers its rates it
is wrong and is liable to prosecution and
if It raises them it is in the same predica
ment For my part I do not believe it
will fare any worse if it allows the new
tariff to stand than if it rescinds the action
taken therein."
An explanation was made by a local rail
road man aa to why the new tariff was
issued by the Northwestern quoting lower
through rates. Bald hei
View of Railroad Man.
"A short time ago the grain rates were
all reduced to the gulf ports in the south
and the Northwestern was bound by the
law of commerce, that freight follows ths
line of least resistance, ' to so adjust its
rates to the east that it would not lose
all the business. As an example, we will
say that the rate to the gulf from some
point in Nebraska waa 86 cents per hun
dred. When the southern rates were re
duced this figure was lowered to 32 cents.
Now the through rate, via the North
western, to Chicago, from this same point
was S3 cents per hundred. This left the
rate 1 cent higher to Chicago than to the
gulf, when it Is well known that the differ
ence should be the other way, and the only
thing the Northwestern could flo was to
reduce its rate to take up the spread, and
this would require the naming of a rate
of SO cents to Chicago. For my part I
do not believe that the Omaha Grain ex
change was thought of when the new
schedule waa made up by the Northwest
ern, and, I do not believe that line will
ever be Induced to restore the through
rates until some action is taken to put
rates on the old footing to the south."
The Northwestern has sixty daya in
which to file an answer to the suit started
by the Grain exchange, so that it is be
lieved there will be no further develop
ments In the matter for some time. It was
stated by one of the parties to the suit that
aa soon as all the evidence which Is de
sired in the case can be collected a tem
porary Injunction will be asked for. The
original petition makes a demand for a
permanent Injunction.
Agitation is Effective.
It wag stated on good authority this

formed most creditably. The ceremonybf

the old year out. Eighteen applicants were
elected into membership and nine novices
were Initiated Into the mysteries of knight
hood. The degree team was on its mettle

best of the year. The sick committee re
ported that all the sick members were
progressing finely and that the needy mem-
Ders ana their families were being cared
for through the emerrenrv Mmmiitu A
cursory review of the year evidenced that
me tent had just closed one of the most
successful years of Its history, the only
sad feature of the time being the loss of
seven members by death. During that
period the tent has Initiated over two hun
dred and fifty members and has Increased
until now It Is one of the largest tents
west of the Mississippi. The tent begins
the new year with prospects as bright as
could be desired, for with over eight hun
dred and fifty active, energetic pushing
members there Is no limit to its possibili
ties. Under the good of the order several
of the sir knights made short addresses

CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE
Jobber in All Lines Stport tha lew Tear
(harting in Qeod Shape.
RETAILERS ARE ALSO WELL SATISFIED
Tendency of Prices Decidedly
toward, and Particularly I that
Trne ef Groceries and of All
Kinds et Cotton Goods.
Business during the first ten days ot
the new year has been In a very satis
factory condition In all quarters, of courne
both jobbers and manufacturers expect
a better movement In the near future
than they have had so far, but tuklng Into
consideration the fact that everyone Is
busy with their inventories, the amount ot
floods sold so far has been very grattfy
ng. Retailors are naturally complaining
to some extent about the Unaraaonable
weather, which retards the demand for
heavy weutht goods. At the same time,
however, they report their sales ns be
ing better than they could naturally ex
pect under existing conditions. There seems
to be no fear now but what they will
clean up their storks of winter goods be
fore the end of the season In good shape.
They figure that cold weather must come
sooner or later and that It is bound to
bring the business.
The healthy condition of the markets on
practically all classes of goods Is another
encouraging feature In the present situ
ation. With the coming of the new year
business men In general are In a more
hopeful frame of mind than they have been
for some time. Confidence which was
shaken by the collapse In Wnll street
has returned and now those predicting
hard times and business depression are
In so small a minority as to be hardly
noticeable. In other words, Jobbers, mnnu
facturers and retailers re all laying plans
for doing fullv ns much bualness ns thev
did In 1903. The upward trend of prices
la taken as the best indication of the re
turn of confidence and the way In which
retailers are anticipating their wants to
protects themselves against advances
shows that they also consider merchan
dise at present prices good property.
Collections are In fully as good condi
tion as usual at this time of year and
jobbers do not seem to be worried at all
In that direction.
Coffee Still Advancing;.
Wholesale grocers report business as
rushing for the time ot year and In fact
much heavier than a year ago. The gen
eral market Is In a very strong position,
with Indications favorable for sharp ad
vances on a number of lines. Coffee Is
still advancing and the top apparently
has not yet been reached. The advance
over the close of last week amounts to
H'4o. All package coffee has advanced
.sugar, as generally anticipated, has also
advanced, both raw and rellned showing
a gain of l-lOc. New York as well as
New Orleans reports a big Improvement
In the demand and it Is freely predicted
that higher prices will rule In the future.
Several of the beet sugar refineries are
still holding out, waiting for the market
to Improve, but the ganeral impression
Is that there is not a great deal of that
kind of sugar left.
The bean market is a trifle easier than
It was a week ago, but with colder weather
a reaction is expected.
In the canned goods line future corn Is
reported as selling very freely from the
canneries. In fact It Is claimed that many
of the canneries have sold up to their
limit unless they can contract a larger
acreage than usual. The market on spot
corn Is unchanged, but the supply Is
being well cleaned up.
Tomatoes are also quoted the came as
they were a week ago. The pack of last
year is now estimated at about 10,000,000
cases, ind In addition to that there was
a considerable carryover from 1!W2. .With
this large supply In sight It Is figured that
low prices are sure to rule for the next
few months.
Canned trout Is getting more scarce every
day and shows an advance during the last
six weeks amounting to 60c per case.
The market on dried fruits Is in a strong
position with the exception of prunes and
raisins, which are a little weaker. Punches
are held at strong prices because of light
stocks on the coast. Apricots likewise are
well cleaned up.
Rice shows a good movement, witn tne
trend toward higher prices on the more
desirable grades of Japan.
While there has been no seutal advance
on syrups, one is expected In the near fu
ture, owing to the strong market on corn.
The demand Is very heavy for the time of
vear. Soaps are also held at strong prlcea,
because of the constantly Increasing cost
f tallow. An advance would cause no sur
prise. Cotton Goods Mncb Higher.
The market for cotton goods Is In a very
unsettled condition. The number of changes
that have gone Into effect during the week
under review are too numerous to mention,
but It can safely be said that everything
made of cotton is worth more money than
it was a week ago. Indian Heads and
Buck Heads have advanced to 7V4V Pep
perel to 6c and the best grade of four
yard L.' L. muslins to 6c. All other grades
have advanced In proportion with Pepperel
wide sheetings to a baals of 2oe for 10-4
bleached. The above will serve as an Index
of what Is going on In the market for
staple cottons, and advances are looked for
on Indigos, grays, mournings and all lines
of staple prints.
Large retailers are protecting themselves
against advances and trade with local Job
bers for that reason has been very heavy
ever since the first of the new year. Jobbers
are now busy filling orders for spring wash
goods, dress goods, hosiery, underwear and
factory goods. Retailers well supplied with
these lines at the old prices are congratulat
ing themselves. Those in a poamun i
know say that there are no proapetcs of
lower prices during the coming season, as
goods have not yet reached the basis of the
high price of cotton.
No Changes In Hardware.
The hardware market Is In Just about the
same position it was a week ago. It was
thought in some quarters several weeks ago
that there would be a number of changes
the first of the year, but the Improvement
In the Iron and steel market, as well as the
generally Improved tone of business In nl!
departments, has changed the sltuatlor
materially and the hardware market min
now be said to be In a good, healthy condi
tion, with prospects favorable for Its re
maining that way for some time to come.
Local Jobbers say they do not now expect
any Important changes In prices for some
time to come and confidently believe mer
chants safe In placing liberal orders on a
basis of present values.
So far as the volume of business Is con
cerned, Omaha houses have no cause for
complaint, as they are doing fully as much
business as they were a year ago and con
sider the prospects for future trade very
encouraging.
Leather and Rabber Goods Doll.
The exceptionally fine weather so far this
season Is being felt to quite an extent by
Jobbers carrying thotte lines. The demand
for leather goods up to the first of the year
was very satisfactory, but since that time
trade has been very quiet. Rubber goods
have moved out slowly all the fall, as
there has been very little snow In any of
the territory tributary to Omaha. Jobbers
are hoping, however, that their brand of
weather will arrive In a short time and
that they will then make up for lost time.

The demand for poultry continues in good

The same Is true of butter. The egg mar.
