The executive committee of the Commercial club has had a state ment prepared, ahowing the busi ness conditions existing in the state and drawing comparisons which show the improvements which have been experienced in all lines of business within the past few months. The statement is most conservative in its nature, and was prepared with the greatest care, in order to avoid any suspic ion of "booming." It will be sent by the Commercial club to the most prominent eastern papers with a request that it be published. The full text of the document is as fol lows: What's the matter with Ne braska? Two years ago the legis lature appropriated $150,000 in aid of the drouth-stricken settlers on the western frontier, a region which prospered when devoted ex clusively to stock grazing, and can only be tilled when irrigated. This year the corn crop was the greatest in the history of the state, o r rn rr i i i r n O odu.uuu.uuu ousiieis. iuore man o,- 000,000 acres were planted to corn this vear, and the averace yield Was forty-five bushels to the acre and of this vast crop more than 200,000,000 bushels will be exported. Much of it is being shipped to the gulf ports. It is estimated that no less than 100.000,000 bushels will be fed to the herds of cattle and hogs this winter, making a revival of the live stock industry unprece dented in the history of Nebraska. Millions of dollars have beed bor rowed bv stock raisers who are taking advantage of the low price of corn and have bougflit feeders, which will be ready for the market next spring. In, Dodge county alone, over 150,000jsheep are bein wintered. There is an enormous increase in the number of cattle being wintered on the ranges. The estimate of the " number of Ne braska hogs which will be ready for the market next year is 2,000,000. Ivast year the total business of the packing houses was not so great in volume as in preceding years. The drouth cut short the supply of corn and grass, com pelling stock-growers to, dispose ot their stock at a disadvantage. Stock receipts at the South Omaha 3ards for the six months ending October 31, 1895, reached a total of 20,917 cars, while for the corres ponding months this year the total stock receipts amount to 23,360 cars. These figures show the re covery from drouth conditions ot two or three years ago. Those who make a business of gathering information on this subject say there is more live stock in Ne braska being fed for the market than ever before in the history of the state. When this stock shall have been turned into money next year," the season of business de pression will be at an end. Figures are at hand showing a steadjr increase this year in the business of the packing houses. A notable feature of the trade is the iucreased demand tor sheep, One packer, who slaughtered but 9,510 sheep from May to November, 1895, this year has killed 6S.708, over 600 per cent increase. Enormous in crease is also shown in the number of cattle and hogs slaughtered. From May to November, 1895, this house slaughtered 150, 691 hogs, and 68,361 cattle, as against 217453 hogs and 81,725 cattle this yean During the same period, another packer shows a proportion ol" in crease that is niost gratifying. Last year he killed 66,000 hogsand 2,000 cattle, while for six months this year he has killed 90,000 hogs, and 2,100 cattle. Another packer gives figures on the value of his product sold during the months ending October 31. 1895. at $3,350, 000, while this year the total is $3,500,000. This packer purchased; during the period, named in 1895, 31,856 cattle," 122,3is' hogst and 12,664. sheep; in i96, 31.309 cattle, ,4S,682. hogs and 10,195 sheep. -He paid for cattle this year $57,625 more thanfme paid last year, dur ing the period named. In 1895, he shipped 3,026 cars of product; this year, 3,461 cars. For the period named in 1895, another South Oma ha packer killed; Cattle, 5b, 047 "head; sheep, 23,248 head; hogs, 100,385 head; this year, "cattle 57,388 head; sheep, 41,941; hogs, 153,178. The shipments last year, exclusive of less than carload lots, amounted to 2,756 cars, this year 3,826.

Gandy Pio neer. Some of our farmers report that they a.re burning ear corn for fuel.
