THE MIDSUMMER SITUATION ,
A Largo Increase of Omaha's Easiness
Houses Luring the Last Six Months.
A VERY SATISFACTORY EXHIBIT
An Excellent Truilo for llio Summer

Abundant Crops Assured

c , If there Is anybody who thinks thtxt
Omaliii isn't a good place to live In , in
vest in and make inonuy in , lot him read
and experience a change of mind.
According to thu deductions of tlio
Bnulstroot Commercial agency , thu
solidity and enduring quality of Omaha's
boom surpasses that of any other uncom
monly prosperous and nourishing
city in the country , and the
figures and facts to sustain the
allegation are forthcoming. There is
nothing flimsy or superficial about
Omaha's rapid growth in importance as
* n irroat commercial centre , but a gen
uineness and stibstantlability that evinces
itself even upon thu surface.
Sales and midsummer business arc
holding up much butter than usual in all
branches of trade. Collections , to be sure ,
ns is always the case in July , are very
Blow. It is between seasons , when farm
ers are waiting for their small grains to
mature , and no particular change is
looked for , in any .year , until about Au
gust 15 , when small grains begin to
move , and an improvement in monetary
channels is noted about that time.
SMALL GHA1N
This season Is very promising , the crop
in Nebraska being fully up to the average -
ago for a corn state , while the corn crop
never looked as well as it does this year ,
and never promised such a tremendous
yield. In fact , in quantity and quality ,
from the present outlook , the corn crop
promises to be unprecedented. Another
rattier remarkable feature about it is that
this is the first year that there has not
bocu considerable replanting , not one
single case having been repotted. The
crop is not only overfull , well roted , but
stands strong , and in truth , wheat , rye
and barley and all small grains stood
wonderfully well this year before almost
perennial still' winds , and all grains are
extraordinarily well tilled , fatr , pure and
remarkable for the absence of defect or
blemish of any kind. But to leave the
crops and get back to
ISUSIMUSS.
'Ihcro have been no failures of any con
sequence in either this state or western
Iowa , which is covered by the Omaha of
fice of Ilradstreot's agency , for the past
six months. There arc a good many
small changes in trade at all seasons ot
tlio year , but us they are to be expected
they create no impression or surprise. To
give facts there were just ninety-three
failures in this field from January 1 to
June 80 , 1887 , and ol this number
sl Bixtv-eight were not recommended for
credit , leaving a balance of only thirty-
live failures \\hiehtook place at the same
time , who were rateil from moderate to
fair credit. Tlio largest failure during
that time was in Council 151 nil's , and that
party who assigned , has since paid one
hundred cents on the dollar. The party
was rated f O.OUO at the time of his failure -
uro with fair credit , so _ it will bo seen
that the balance of thirty-four failures
lay from that down to nothing , showing
tint there wore no failures in this terri
tory within the six months of any consid
erable magnitude.
THE JOllllING TRADE
of Omaha since January 1 has kept pace
with Us average increase lor tlio past
eighteen months , winch is saying a good
deal when it is taken into consideration
that the jobbing trade of Omaha lias
doubled itself in the last four years , and
will do so again in tun next four ,
and perhaps in a somewhat less time ,
basing calculations upon the present
ratio. The general trade of the city last
year increased 'J7 per cent over tlio pre
vious year , including all branches of
trade , both wholesale and retail.
UHB IXCllUAbK
fur the voar ending Juno 1. 1880 , in
Omaha's general trade can be arrived at
by.a study of the following figures : Num
ber of jobbing houses doing business in
Omaha June 1 , 1880 , 190 ; number com
menccd business during the year ending
Juno 1 , 1887 , ! ) } ; total number of whole
sale houses doing business hero June 1 ,
1887 , 227. This list includes all concerns
manufacturing and jobbing their own
goods , and also such , lioines as do a retail -
> tail and jobbing business combined , and
following will be iound a list of thu
principal lines represented , with the
number ol jobbing houses in each lino.

Tin : OUTLOOK
for the autumn and early winter season
Is based upon the enormous trade of ihc
Spring , thu activity of midsummer , and
the wonderful promise of the crops. Already -
, ready trade has begun to feel a thrill of
increased momentum ; the farmer is
wido-awake to tlio season of fruition ,
the merchant is bracing himself
and brushing up and increasing his stock ,
while the real estate agent and the general -
oral speculator manifest increased accel
eration in all their movements. Those
arc infallible signs of a season of thrift ,
trade and profit , in all the ramifications
of commercial life. The remarkable
growth that has been noticeable iu
SOUTH OMAHA.
has received additional impetus through
thu arteries of thu recent big Armour-
Ltpton deal , and the doming of Under
wood & Co. , of Chicago. It is confident
ly expected that this particular terri
tory will outstrip all past eras of Increase
and advance in a business way. It will be
only a short time before thousands ol
men are employed there In thu packing
interests atone , lint the Urobdignagian
strides of South Omalni will be more
striking when the Omaha people recall
that it is just now two years ago sincu the
first hog was killed thore.and to-day 'Here
are 113 business houses , Including two
banks , located in this little city , all hav
ing been attracted thither by the stock
yards and packing interests alono. Now
if South Omaha is growing so raptdlj

THK WHOLESALE ( JISpCEItY TKADR '
has sustained its usual increase tin ;
year over last , aud the territory tributary
o this point is being gradually but ma *
erially extended and will soon indeed
> o a broad domain.
THE BOOT AND SHOE TRADE
s increasing rapidly , and Omaha now
joasts of an exclusive jobbing clothing
house which it could never do before ;
also a jobbing rubber goods house , both
of which are doing a most flattering
business.
8 ItKS IN REAL ESTATE
iavo been quiet since the middle of Juno ,
as is inovltabiy the case , however , when
men Inclined to invest arn absent from
the city and commercial circles. He-
markaolo as It is. it is to bo noted that
prices are firm aim no property can bo
purchased for lees than May values.
ANOTHER PLEASING FACT
is that most of the serious labor troubles
have been amicably adjusted , and both
public and private improvements are
now advancing rapidly , and there can
be no doubt that inside properly will ad
vance greatly early In the fall , as much
of It is now below corresponding prop
erty in other western cities. What out
side property now needs more than any
other one thing , is a means of access , and
as soon as that is provided , and wo have
good grounds to look for it soon ,
thcro is much that will be
desirable at very much better face.
Everybody is aware of the army of la
borers engaged in improving , opening
and extending streets , in laying the
motor line andliorso railway tracks , aud
facilities for rapid transit to all points of
the city , even to its uttermost limits.
will shortly bo unsurpassed by any city
in the great west. This will greatly en
hance the value and desirability of su
burban lands , and lend an enchantment
and attractiveness to suburban residence
that cannot bo resisted by prosperous
business men who wish to eseawe , after
their day's labors are over , the dust and
grime , and noise and turmoil of the city.
Consequently a demand for suburban or
outside property mav be looked for , and
within a few years the beauty of our im-
mediated environments will be aug
mented to an extent that will astonish
oven the most sanguine aud hopeful of our
citizens.
As further evidence that the outlook
for Omaha has not been overdrawn or
too highly colored , it is but necessary to
glance at the clearances in the city clear
ing house for the past four months , which
show an increase of over 100 per cent
over the corresponding months of the
year immediately previous :

The Home Fire.
It may bo of interest to the people of
this city and state to know that among
the most successfully conducted nnd
prosperous Institutions in Nebraska is the
Homo 1'iro Insurance company of
Omaha.
The company's premium receipts
amounted to $175,000.00 , ami its business
is fast increasing. Its assets are now
about $200,000.00.
One hundred and sovcntv losses have
boon paid by the "Homo Fire , " to the
people of Nebraska , and the company
has a receipt in full for satisfactory set
tlement and a complimentary letter for
prompt and honorable dealing in every
case. Every loss claim has been paid ,
aud the company has never been sued.
Thcro is no reason why a worthy homo
Insurance company should not receive
the patronage and support of the people
of this state , fend judging from the high
standing of llio ollicurs and directors of
the "Homo Fire , " and the great care it
exorcises in the selection and manage
ment of its business , and the fair and
honorable way it has paid its losses , and
dealt with the public , this company is
worthy of tlio large patronage it is receiv
ing. _ _

A Talc IlluHtratins the Practical Ad
vantages of Savings Banks.
On Thursday of last week Mr. George
Holmes , jr. , a young real estate agent of
this city , residing at 1303 South Seven
teenth street , received a check from the
"Bank for Savings , " Now York city , in
the sum of $420.13 , which carries with it
a very interesting history.
In the spring of 1817 Gcorgo Holmes ,
the father of the young man , arrived in
New York City fresh from tlio Emerald
Isle , and securing a situation in the great
metropolis , deposited , of Ins hard earn
ings , in October of tlio same year , f 15 in
tlio "Bank of Savings. " The young
Irishman , being of an economic turn ,
permitted the money to lie in thr > bank
until his departure for the west , when , in
searching for his deposit book , it was
not to bo found. Unacquainted with the
system of banking , ho gave up his little
hoard without a further thought.
After roaming about the west for a
time Mr. Holmes settled in Nebraska in
1855 , where ho has resided since , with his
family , all of whom are natives of this
country. A short time ago while recount
ing to his children some of the incidents
of his earlv life , Mr. Holmes for the first
time mentioned his maiden bank account.
Ills son George Holmes , jr. , immedi
ately volunteered to attempt the collec
tion of the deposit and by the aid of a
few affidavits and identification ho sur
prised the old gentleman on Friday , by
presenting him a check for $ 120.12 , the
representative of the growth of $45 deposited -
posited forty years ago in an American
bank.

The case of Mrs. Wirth , residing at

some doubt as to the correctness of the
complaint , it having been suggested that
the acts of hers which have attracted
public attention wore the natural result
of the annoyance to which she nas been
subjected by children in the neighbor

jumping her fence and chasing her chick

forward with commission in hand from
Major General Carnahan , appointing the
captain as aide-de-camp to major gen
eral , with rank of colonel. Thu old vet
eran of Pythiunism , Crager , was too
overcome to respond , aim thu division

Tilled by the selection of Jo'm ' Hayward ,
formerly Sir Knight second lieutenant ,
and Sir Knight Guard J. J. Donnollyjr. ,
WJis elected as Sir Knight second lieuten
ant. Colonel J. J. Moncll's military ap
pearance seemed to inspire the division
to execute their drill movements with
moro care and interest.
This promotion was made in consider
ation of Captain Crager's many estima
ble qualities , as also because of his long
devotion to and membership in 1'ythian-
ism. Ho is the oldest knight in thu city.

FOR PARENTS
The axe has fallen among our Boys * and Childrens' Clothing and is
making havoc with the prices of some of them. Those who visited us
during the past season must have noticed that since the enlargement
ol our store , we carried in this line a much larger stock than formerly.
Naturally , of such a big assortment , we have more left , especially of
the better grades , and we are determined to close them all out before
the opening of our new juvenile department , which next season will
be on the second floor of our building. A large line of Boys' and Chil
drens' suits of all sizes some very fine goods and elegantly made also
a lot of knee pants and long pants are marked down to one-half their
value.
A manufacturer who heard that we are doing a large business , and
thought that we could dispose of most any quantity of goods , sent ua
last week a big lot of striped summer coats Mens' and Boys' with
instructions to sell tliem for his account. "We did not want to accept
them , as the lot is too large and the season late , and told him so , but
he wired us to dispose of them at any price we pleased , so we have de <
cided to mark them 15o APIECE. It is almost giving them away , but
it is not our loss. They are new patterns and all sizes.
All goods marked in plain figures and at strictlv one price at
