TRADE REVIEW FOR WEEK
New York, Jan. 15. Bradstreet's
says: Reports as to trade and trans
portation reflect variations of weather
Irregularly affecting sales and move
ment of farm products and coal sup
plies and' of spring goods to various
markets. Retail trade in wlpter goods
has been helped by cold, stormy
weather and the usual January price
revisions. A rery fair volume of re
orders Is reported by Jobbers, while
the volume of orders for Bpring reach
lng wholesale houses from travebrs Is
fairly good. Transportation ljnes, par
ticularly In the north and west, have
been hampered by Btormy weather
and the movement of crops has been
interfered with. Something approach'
lng a coal famine still exists at many
western points. Building operations
lave naturally . been retarded by
stormy weather and there Is promise
f some damage on western rivers
from Ice gorges. , Indoor Industries
seem to be actively employed, notably
Iron and steel and shoe manufacturing
Best reports come from the west
Collections have been Interfered with
by Interruption to crop movement,
and are rather Irregular, especially
from country districts. The question
of hltcher costs Is being considered!
by many manufacturers, who are find
ing higher prices for raw materjtls
and requests for advances In vages.
Failures for the week were 291.
Wheat exports for the week aggre
gate 2,677,175 bushels. Corn exports
for the week are 1,502, 8GC bushels.

e III HAVE
ft ROYAL III
Large Number From Nebraska
City Present to Assist in the
Initialing Candidates.
The Improved Order of Red Men
last night held one, of the largest
meeting of their order held in years,
in addition they had such a time H3
only Red Men could have. It was a
time of gaiety and mirth after the
Impressive ceremonies of Initiating a
great big class into the mysteries of
the order had been gone through
with. The work of conferring the sev
eral degrees was put on by the team
from the Nebraska City council, and
it was most impressive to a degree
The members of the NefcrasKa City
team arrived in the city last even
ing on the M. P. train and were
taken in charge by a committee from
Missouri tribe and given their sup
per at the Hotel reruns, rne team
which Is ono of the best In the
state later administered the several
degrees to a big class of pale faces
anxious to investigate the mysteries
of the order. Bringing with them
paraphernalia of the order and being
eauipped In every respect for the
work, the Nebraska City team did
themselves proud and earned an un
dying place in the affections of the
members of Missouri tribe. The work
was not alone , beautiful but It was
put on in Its most Impressive man
ner by the members of the Nebraska
City team. The candidates for adop
tlon could not but be Impressed with
the solemnity of the adoption and
each one agreed that nothing more
striking or beautiful had ever been
their lot than this ceremony.
Immediately following the cere
niony of the Initiation there was a
banquet served in the dining parlors
adjoining which was a veritable feast
There was roast hog, sweet potatoes
celery and dog meat galore and any
member of the order who failed to
get in on this had no one to blame
but himself. The Journal's vrepresen
tatlve, Charles Grimes, himself
a
brave of the order, was seized while
at the feast and compelled to stand
forth on the floor and extend the
thanks of the Missouris to the.r
neighbors from the Otoe reservation
for their timely visit and the good
work which they did. He did the
best he could In this respect and
hopes that the members of Otoe tribe i
understood his words In the spirit
they were intended. He was too full
for utterance full of eatables as
everyone who saw his ignominious
entree upon the floor can testify. It
Is hard for a man to talk when he
has his mouth full of roast pork,
sweet potatoes and celery as the
writer can testify but he did the best
he eould under the circumstances
and has no apology to make. Any-
way Mr. Grimes tried to express the I
gratitude which the Missouris oweda'! ralsed rour grand-cniidren anu
to the Otoes who are the best fel
lows ever in addition to being up-to-date
Red Men. Their work during
the initiatory ceremonies was of the j
highest order of merit and reflected
brightly upon the members of the
organization. They are real Indians
and from campfire to wigwam, they
deserving of the highest praise as
the best type of Americans.
Those attending from Nebraska
City were H. Thurman, S. Poling,
Ira Golden, W. M. Gagnebln, D. W.
McCullum, J. P. Bauman, E. G.
Bauman, D. M. Crums, E. P. Mc

The Nebraska City visitors depart
ed for home on the midnight train
after having delighted the members
of the Missouri tribe for nearly four
hours. Owing to the length of time
which the initiation took the ln-
stallatlon of the officers of the lodge
was postponed unui me nexi council
