Omaha , fotitik'l ( ( in 185-1 , now con
tains a population of , ' 111,000. What
Omaha is ai ii commercial and indus
trial center , and what sliu has accom
plished towaid the establishment of
educational iind benuvolont institu-
tioiis niiiy l > u ascertained by a perusal
of tliu nccimipanvino ; carefully com-
"sTatis'tics. ThaTOinahti is on-
'titled to the poaitiiui HIO ! claims us tliu
cummercial metropolis of tliu Mis
souri Vnlloy , is forcibly deinoiiHtratetl
by the facts and liyurt's uinpbodicd in
our uxhmistivo review of her wholo-
snlo trade , railway tr.ilic and manu
factures.
The cominoi'co of Omaha extends
from thu Missouri river westward
throughout our own broad state of
Nebraska , through Wyoming , Colorado
rado , Utah , to Montana , to Nevada ,
and clear to thu Pacific ciiiuit , as far
north as Oregon. That her commerce
will keep pace with the development
of the tr.Mis-iMissouri region , is Hclf-
uvidont by a glance at the mi ] > which
shows the superior facilities of Oma
ha as ii railway and tradu center. The
trade of Omaha is , however , by no
means confined to the country west of
the Missouri river. Vast quantities
of supplies are sold to the people of
western and northern Iowa , Dakota ,
northern Missouri , and even to U'is-
cousin , Illinois and Minnesota.

BANKING
Oiitaba has more tlmn mnlntaluctl
her proud position as the financial
center of the far we t , being the depot
of money supply for all the Slates and
Territories west ot the Missouri river ,
as well as western Iowa. Pour houses
are engaged in banking in this city , the
l-'irst National Hank and Omnha Xa
tionnl Bnnk under N'ntioiul Hnnk clmr-
ters. The State Hank of Nebraska cor
poration chartered by the State , nnd n
private banking hou c Caldwcll , Hamilton -
ilton fc Co.
The hanking bti inu of O nnha has
shown no impairment during the
past year in either the volume of Inisi-
lien transacted , or in successful man
agement on the contrary very sub
stantial growth has been made.
Evidence of this is allb.dcd in the
enlargement of banking room and
handsome interior Improvement * made
by the Kirst National Bank involving
nil expenditure of about -f 10,000 , and
almost doubling its fiiciiities for the
satisfactory handling of its extensive
an 1 constantly incieasing business , |
and in the purchase by the Omaha '
National Hank , and the State Hank of ,
valuable real piopurty , upon which ;
each designs to eiect during the coming - | ; I
ing season , buildings that are required
to accomodate their business , and
which in appearance and appointments
will be up to the scale Omaha now e x- , '
| iecls from her gie.it moneyed insit- i
tulions.
No increase of capital is reported , '
The Omaha National 1'ank has increased - i
creased its surplus fund from SOooo ( ito i
1
to $50,000 , nnd it is tmdetstood that
the amount will be made f , I
after January iM. The surplus fund \ !
of the First Nationals Hank remain at '
$50,000 in its olllcial leports to Wash
ington , but in its annual report to the
State Auditor ol Dec. .27th , iSSl , its
undivided surplus funds arc shown to
be § 167,533 f'- '
Dining the same period ot the \ear
super-abundance ot loanable funds
has existed and some of our merchants
have at times had their wants supplied
at very low interest rates.
The demand has greatly increased
since the beginning of present month ,
and the hanks now find teady use at
reasonable rates for all the money they
want , or deem safe to loan
Comparative statements of growth
of business ate always intcie'ting , but
in this as heretofore , we ate limited to
the two nationals , who make frequent
statements.
The following shows changes in
aggregate deposits at nearly corresponding
pending periods for three years pas ) in
the National Hanks.
