i The clearings of the associated banks of
J Omaha for the week ending February 8 , ns
J reported by Mr lluphcs ; manager ol the
I " clearing house , foot $1,411,703.91 , on increase
of 18 7-10 per cent There has been no
J cbanpo In the monetary situation during the
' past week Banners report an ample supply
.f\l funds and n fairly nctlvo demand , Prliuo
mercantile paper lms been readily taken nt
the usual rates 3 to 10 per cent whllo a
great deal of off-color stuff is presented and
refused Money Is plentiful generally and
reports from llnunctal centers show easy
markets and low rates prevailing every
wkoro , und at the same time complaints are
bad of dull trade , low prices for produce and
an unsatisfactory situation existing In com
mercial circles This Is nttributablo mainly
to the wonthor which has boon unseasonable
throughout the country nnd In the territory
contiguous to Omaha has bcon especially bo ,
and traders are feeling the results In dull
trade and slow collections Novcrtho-
. lots wo are no worse off than our
Mft , brethren of the North south and east
WKP\ Complaint Is general nnd business is nd-
mlttodly dulleverywhoro Tliorolmvobeen ,
howovur , fewer falluroa this year to date , in
Nobraskn , than during the samn period last
year and our joboors say they are content to
) boo trade quiet for thoprosont , with retailers
disposing of their winter Btocks slowly nnd
remitting as they can , rather than to have
thorn buy spring goods and add to the load
which , should spring woathcr bo late , would
-v bo moro than they could carry and result in
- frequent fnllurcs nnd loss
Grocery Jobbers are an oxcoptlon Just now
and they say trade Is satisfactory and in ex
cess of last year
Cotton goods nro steady and firm with an
advanoo of 2@2 > per cent noted in wldo
shootings ana the market oversold by many
weeks production Woolen goods nro
strong and n feeling of confidence In the
future of tbo market prevails Silks are ad
vancing
Sugars nro firm at quotations but no great
nssurnnco Is expressed that present prices
can bo maintained , as Mr Sprecklej again
appears as the little Joker , " and his play
will ba watched with unxioty
Coffees are uncbangod and the future
seems very doubtful if the boars seem tbo
most confident
The produce market is perhaps firmer but
not so strong as to cnablo an advance In the
prices of dairy products to bo maintained :
Eggs nro slightly up , as Lent is approaching ,
and the demand increasing , liuttor is about
the same as last week , and the average re
ceipts soil at 8 to lOu par pound Packers
and commission men say that moro poor butter -
tor has been sent to market hero this winter
than ever before and that whllo thern Is
now nna always n demand for cnoico dairy
butter , in neat , clcun packages , there isnono
the slush and grcaso shipped as butter
for are in fair request and the market
\ J * stronger

MOVING FOR MANUFACTORIES

Three Prcsqlng Nocils
A gentleman writes to ono of tbo principal
oftlcors of the real estate oxchanga :
There are three things of prossmg Im
portance for you people to nccompllsh ; an
nexation , the gonorai contoronce nnd the ulg
hotel "
The union of Omnha , South Omaha , Dun
dee Plnco , West Side nud nil the suburbs
within a clrclo of flvo mites from the post
oflico , so as to have them ono solid city ba-
fore the next census is taken is ot prime im
portance This ought to show nt least 145-
000 poopto under 0110 municipal government
As Council Bluffs cannot bo unltod closer
bonds Bhould bo encouraged nnd
ostnblishod between the two places
When this Is done that thrifty
city , now containing about 45,000 people , will
Join forces with Omaha , so as to mnlto
practically 190,000 people living within ono
great city , so far as busiuoss and ether pur
poses are concerned Council Bluffs nnd
Omaha should always ba coupled together ,
bo as to impress the public mind with the
fact that the population of both is vlrtuolly
ono city Kansas City , Mo , takes ndvou-
tago of this It is known ns ono largo city
bocnuso Kansas City , Kan , is always
counted ns n part ot the Missouri city It is
a big card to induce investment On the
ether hand the population ot this city is
split oil Into outlaying suburbs and nep.\rnto
cities , for which Otnnha gets
no credit It Is apparent this must
bo remedied before the next census is
taken if wo will reap the full bcnollt of our
rauid growth and development in the past
ton years I regard the union of Omaha ,
South Omaha nud the suburbs as of the most
vital importance if the two cltlos exuoot to
command the financial and commercial con
lldonco wo deserve Host assured if Omaha
and South Omaha by romalnlng npart , show
an Inferior population and porcoutago ot
growth in comparison with St Paul , Minne
apolis , Kansas City nnd Denver , eastern
capital , population nnd investment will scok
those cities in preference II wo lese our
prestlgo as the most rapidly growing city of
the west , by the short sightodncss of the
citizens of Omaha and South Omaha through
any failure to becomoono city instead ot a
great metropolis , inferior only in rank to
Chicago , this city will sink into the
inslgnillcnnco of a river town " Let us
tnko warning In time nnd hood the example
of Pittsburg , Cincinnati , Loulsviilo und St
Louis when wo compare these cltlos to Chi
cage
"Wo can only cscnpo these evil consequences
quences by the early union of Omaha , South
Omnha and the suburbs Tlio area In tbo
event of the union will bo loss than llfty
square miles for the combined city The
present nroa of Omaha is twenty-four
pquare miles This is smnll Chicago has
ISO und Philadelphia 130 square miles , which
nro none too largo for the wants of these
great cities Mon occasionally say , Chicago
cage is larger than Omaha " "Whni of itl"
Twonty-llvo years ago Chicago was smaller
than Omaha , Cincinnati and St Louis It
was the huhost ambition of Chicago to bo-
coino as largo as St Louis The energy
of her business mon has carried lior be
yond that point , and now Chicago is
exporting to surpass Now York in
Iobs than fifty years Our business mon
oan worthily imituto those of Chicago
With u country behind Omaha boundless in
its resources , there is'no ' reason why this
city should not Bland next to Chicago in
wealth and population at the beginning of
the twentieth century
The second important thing is to secure
the location ot the next Methodist , general
conference beyond the shadow of a doubt
Why not rally ou inasso around Bishop
Newman nndtho clergymen of the church ,
tendering them our moral and financial sup
port ! Wouldn't it bo well to invite those
emlnont mon to "apeak to the people on
the Iloor ol the exchange about the nd-
vantage to Omaha of having this great as
semblage in our cityl Few renlizo what a
vast influcnco the Methodist cnu reh
commands It is estimated nt
least 10,000,000 people are the
followers pf John Wosloy's teachings
Can Omaha as a city , now or in the future
afford to Ignore this tremendous power ? The
coming conference premises to bo ono of the
important in the history of the church
Vital questions are to ba solved , nnd sitting
in this city , it will make Omaha a household
word wherever the Christian religion is
known
The third nnd last Is , wo must do some
thing to get the big hotel , nnd do it at once
Other things not so pressing should bo
subordinated to this demand , if wo wish
Omaha to rank among the metropolitan cities
of the country As you will remember ,
Oinaun came within ono vote of securing tha
last National republican convention , and
that vote would have boon given had
our hotel accommodations boon suMclont
to tnko care of the crowds This only Is
what defeated Omaha in the contest for that
grout prize The next convention will nasom-
blo in two years Omnha exports to enter
the lists to secure it What have wo to show
as to nccommodutionsj What will wo have
at the rate wo nro going ! If wo expect to
stand any chance there Is no time to bo lost
It will tnko two years to build and complete
the hotel As It is feasible to do so , 1 hope
tbo exchange will take immediate measures
to start the movement "
An Kasterii Itustlor
An castorn man writes Tim Bee : "I have
thrco deals on hand aggregating $3,500,000 in
real estate , I nm negotiating fnr the pur
chase ot some manu facturing establishments
Have thrco coal mines for sale and not far
from tbeso an Iron property in all amounting
to $2,500,000 for whloh partlos nro consider
ing tbclr purcbajo In the spring I oxpeet to
buy nnothor plant worth several millions ,
and hope to give my attention to some of
your Omaha real estate Your olty is a
growing place , with a sure and prosperous
future "

Omuha business men , but for the present
requests the withholding of his name ,
