The clearings for the week as reported by
Mr. Hughes , manager of the clearing hoiiso ,
footuptOT0,5tl.SO , an increase of 17' < per
cent over the same week last year. Bal
ances were $077,251.00.
Bankers report a fair demand for money
ni firm rates. Prlmo papers is in good de
mand nt 8 to 10 per cent , with the former
JIguro slightly shaded , for largo amounts of
-4. choice paper. Exchange is In good supply
nt 21 per $1,000 premium.
f Collections continue fairly easy and the
country Is paying up very well Indeed , all
things considered , liut few failures wcro
reported to the agendas during the past
week and a fooling that the dangerous period
Usual at this season is over prevails.
City collections are said to bo rather quiet
thli week. Trade , however , is good and Im
proving.
The comptroller of tbo currency has
called for n statement of the condition of
the national banks of the country. The
Omaha banks will , it is understood , make an
excellent showing.
In the wholesale district business Is reported
ported an brisk and the volutno of sales in all
lines , except , perhaps , clothing , boots and
shoes and rubber goods , is in excess of last
Boar's trade.
Some fault Is found with the weather ,
which is certainly unseasonable as com
pared with tno past winter , but despite all
drawbacks the jobbing trade of the city
shows a steady increase and our wholesale
1 merchants are well enough content with the
outlook. Of course a cold winter
< nna warm spring would have been welcomed
"nna trade would have very much bonclltted
thereby , but the natural growth of the coun-
I try tributary to this city creates a demand
I/or goods in excess of any loss arising from
> tmfavorablo weather conditions , and our
( merchants are , as a class , well content with
the situation as it Is.
In the grocery trade the chief toplo is the
j wholesale grocers'sugar trust which , it Is
understood , is nearly un accomplished fact
rnnd will exist for the purpose of scouring to
'the ' jobbing grocers of the country a fair and
uniform profit on that staple and as nineteen-
twentieths of the jobbing grocers are inter
ested and as tha result will bo to secure them
nproQtof Vc to * { o per pound instead of
the losses they have had through fluctuations
ana reckless competition heretofore , there
( earns to bo no doubt of .the success and per
manency of this last combination of capital
end brains.
Tbo starch , trust Is also said to be about
l'acy ! for business and will begin by ad
vancing prices ) { of 11 rent per pound on the
C00,00i,000 ) annually used.
Clucoso makers are coming into the market
in oppository to the regular syrup refiners
and mixers and claim to bo In a position to
dictate tbo prices on syrups , as well as glu-
> so , in the future.
The rubber boot and shoo manufacturers
combine mot and considered tbo business
situation recently , and as trade was reported
dull oil nloni ? the line they decided to ad
vance prices 10 per cent from April 1.
The Western flint bottle association has
ordered an advance of C per cent , of which
prohibitionists will kindly take notice.
Sugar advanced } go per pounu for granu
lated yostordoy and the market is firm at

Coffees , likewise , are strong and market

THE UF.B , ] Ttio xvhoat tnnrkot was seri
ously Interfered with hero today by the fear
of sonio surprise in Dodge's government
figures duo Monday. Many wore kept out oi
the market today by this Influonco. The
tijado feels naturally a llttlo bullish , and this
kept them from soiling to discount crop
figures , which for so mo reason are expected
to bo bearish. Several houses had very
bullish crop news today from Tonnessco and
Kentucky , but it is not half believed and had
little effect. Chandler , . IJrown , Lntn-
SOUB and other houses bought freely
ou the crop damage news from the
south. Jonns Kcnnott led the soiling early.
The northwest sold wheat hero later. The
local crowd , led by McCorunck & Co. ,
pounded the murkest about noon. May sold

mates on the decrease in the visible supply

300.000 to 400,000 the popular figures. It is
claimed in advance that Dodge will make
the wheat remaining in farmers' hands
142,000,000 or over.
Corn was fairly good in volume and fu
tures wore not changed from yesterday.
Shorts were about the only ones to buy corn
and receivers sold. There wus an effort
early to prevent puts being roac hod , but it
was claimed Unit fully 1,000,000 busnols were
put today. Poole and Sherman were sellers

uneven , but changes have not been material.
Prices tit the close are not much different
from. . those of last week. The market has
stidwn considerable strength in the face of
increased receipt * . The shipping demand
both'for live hogs and for hog nroiluct. is ru-
mnrkably pooa. Wo see no reason to bellovo
that hogs will sell any lower next WOOK than

The Heal Estate exchange , which Is
already doing so much for the city , 1ms
another schema on foot for the development
of the manufacturing industries. It is pro
posed to raise a largo amount of money , say
il. ' > 0UOO , by subscription for the purchase of
an option on 1,000 acres of land to bo used
for agricultural purposes. This 'would
enable the bureau to give land donations and
stock subscriptions to manufacturers seeking
a location hero. The land could be divided
into lots and enough sold to give handsome
bonus fund * to desirable enterprises. Ten
per cent of the proceeds of a lot sale of such
properly would pay the taxes on the land ,
relieve any encumbrance on the property
and also create a beginning of the subsidy
fund. The matter is now being considered
Ly a committee and will bo presented for tlio
action of the exchange at an early mooting.
IMoro Ejloviuoi-B.
A knowing business man predicts that
more importance attaches to the visit to
Omaha of Mr. B. Fowler of the Chicago
board of trade than appears on the eurfaco.
Mr. Fowler is president of the Fowler Ele
vator company of this city. He reported
that his firm was handling 100 car loads of
grain n day , and could not begin to handle
the business that was coming to it. Ho pro
pones to double the capacity of the elevator ,
and may add another ono of mammoth pro
portions to the plant already established. Ho
predicts that Omaha is destined to become
ono of tbo great grain markets of the coun
try.
SntiRllncl With Ills Pronprty.
Mr. E. G. Botbo , a capitalist of Now York ,
was in the city several days during the past
week looking after his property interests
hero. Four years ago Mr. Boto was prevailed
upon by Mr. C. Hartman to invest $14,003 in
tbo purchase of lot 7 , bloolc 115 , an JVarnam
street just west of Eighteenth street. Dur
ing Mr. Uoto's stay hero last weak Mr. Hurt-
man offered him $35,000 in cash for the same
droporty. Mr. Boto declined the oiler. Ho
said he had been offered ncarJy that amount
by another party and visited the city to
ascertain what the conditions wore that had
occasioned an increase- 230 per cent in the
vnluo of his property in four years. His in
vestigation convinced him that tno property
will soon become still moro valuable and ho
decided to decline the fluttering offer for the
present.

Tenants in the frame- shanties just east o *

Peter Kusor , the proprietor of Ruser's
park , has leased his place to the Gorman so
ciety , the managers of which will lay out
the on tire tract , forty acres , into a summer
garden for their weekly meetings uud for
the tournaments of the Suhutzenveroln.
They are already at work soaking au exten

"Private Sacrifices. "
"There is ono notion In the heads of some
Omaha men , " said a member of the Heal
Estate exchange , "that ought to bo beaten
out with a club. That Is that subscriptions
for the advertisement ot Omaha uubllo en
terprises and festivals and the entertain
ment of visitors U a'private sacrifice. ' A
Chicago man would laugh to scorn auoh
foolishness. The sooner our railroads ,
hotels , banks and business men learn to set
usuio a certain par cent of their cum
in E for such purpose * , and inuko a
business of it , the bolter it will bo
for themselves und Omaha. Chicago la re
garded as a public spirited city. Her busi
ness men adopted this rule years ago , nnd no
expense is spared by her merchants und
capitalists to forward the enterprises which
have made that city groat. Now York m
her shameful neglect of the Grant monument
ment has suffered In proportion , and now she
has the humiliation of Boeing the greatest
prize of tha century wrested from her grasp
by her younger aud more enterprising com
petitor. The public spirited mua of Chicago
built tha great Auditorium , costing several
millions of dollars , and now they
have saourod the world's ' fair
through their enterprise and liberality ,
Tbo nearest that city over came to defeat u
when Omaha , with her splendid offer to en
tertain tbo national republican convention
entered the lUti against her. That effort
gave Omaha B national reputation , because
our business uiea put their nands la their
pockett aud wore willing to upend a prlucoly
( Urn to secure n great national pnto. Why not
emulate this on nil occasions ! Chicngo never
relaxes her oncrglns , nnd Omaha should not.
Ohlcntro men maka a rule to sot anldo n cer
tain mnount to aecuru tltcso great prizes ,
They began that uourno in 18M ) and have
never faltered. 'Chicago merchants have be
come prince * , anil within twenty yonrt
Chicago will bo the Imperial city of
the continent. Otnahn could emulate her
example to advantage. As an investment
these subscriptions for public purposes re
turn nil the wivy from ono hundred to ono
thousand fold ou the money subscribed. It
is astonishing that any banker , merchant ,
hotel , or rnllioad company would hcsltnlo n
moment to subscribe handsomely when tin )
city can bo bunofUUxl or mmlo attractive.
Hero Is nn illustration of the wnv Chicago
hotel men do ; the bankers niul others wcro
equally liberal In proportion. Among the
subscriptions to the world's ' fair fund of
$5,000,000 the Palmer Hotuo nub ribsit
$ . ! t , OOU and the Guiml Pacific SiS.OOO.
U Is estimated that nt least
lO.OOO.lKW people will visit the fair. Allow

As the business of the bar at each of tlioso
great hotels will suillco to pay the hired
help , no Investment could yield a bettor

simply as u business proposition. Can any

Huvo you noticed how few women
walk fjriicofully nowuiluysV It is un
usual to see a woiuuu carry her head ,
und ahouldors well and atop out freely ,
with u pooticiil tfnico of movement.
The majority wuddlo. strut or bounce.
Tlio schoolgirl trips or hurries alonp
head forward , says tno Now York Her
ald. The loitering shonper iioos on
her way with a lolling'stop. Tlio young
woman studying' art , inuaic or for the
drama lets her llappiup , tusthotio cloak
hang loosely opun us alio uauntora
iimoiitr a crowd. The tailor-mudo { firl ,
severely buttoned to the chin , has u
stride exactly Hko her brothers.
Observe , if you please , the swaying1 ,
sidelong Bwinh-swash of that over-
drcsbea cirl wcarintr u satin gown oiiu
\vnt day. Tliougli you cannot BOO her
shoos , you know from the way she rests
lirst on ono foot and then on the other
that they are too tight.Vo moot ac
every turn the girl who runs out her
ohiir , who swaya her arms and
who carries ono ohouldor higher than
the other. Tlio undulating movement
which should bo natural to woman seams
to have disappeared. Modjoska is one
of the few women in Now York who
walk woll. She has the gait of a god-
doss. To sue her inovo is satisfying in
ono way and tantalizing in another
you wonder how she does it.
You have doubtless watched a panther
pacincr backward and forward In hia
cago. How Hko velvet is his stop , How
regular , how easy , yet full of repressed
strength. Men who have dovotcd many
years to the study of physical culture
nay a panther and a woman should got
over the ground in the aamo easy , dig-
nitlod way U you would walk well ,
girls , study the panther in the park ,
then go und do likewise. A good way
to practice is to start on a fine bracing
morning for a straight tjiroo-mllo
stretch and cover it at an even pace.
Wear warm wraps , but louvo your cor
set at homo. Corduroy makes uu excel
lent walking suit.
A few days since I mot a party of
throe girls in the upper part of Central
park , each ono a symphony in brown
corduroy , made with skirts of ankle
length und Norfolk jackets. Fore and
alt cups of shaggy twocd and boiirakin
capes completed the costume , which
seemed by right to belong tq the heroine -
ino of ono of William Black's Highland
tales.

I/.ttlo Women.
Little women with largo heads very
often think they will look tailor if they
wear largo Iwta and n llutfy urrangc-
mont of the halrsaya the St. Louis Post-
Diapatch. This is a fallacy , and instead
of looking tailor they will only appear
the shorter. The retiww is very simple.
Their height is only about nix longthu
of the head. Naturally , by incroaRing
the si no of tlio head the disproportion
will bo greater , us then their liguro will
appear to bo only ( Ivo times the length
of their head. Little women should
wear small hats und simple hair drew.
One often hears n tall woman say ,
when trying on a largo hut ; "O , I could
not tliini : of wearing thin hat ; why. it
udds at least six Inches to my hoiulit ,
und I think I am tall enough now. "
And title forthwith proceeds to buy a
little bit of u hut , scarcely dlstlngulsh-
ublo from hur Psycho knot. Hut if
plio were u largo hut the head would up *
pour larger and in bettor proportion to
the body.
