It seems to b the general opinion however In financial circles Mil ilvcr the country tial ! mi easy market for money Is to bo the rule during the spring and Hummer , with predictions freely made that there will be a general tightening latnrand n decided stringency during thu fall and winter months , Of course this Is necessarily guess work , ton great extent at lead , lint llieio Is Hiich a full eoneiirrence by financial author- It his In these views that U may be well loglvu tlii'ni morn than thu usual attention.

It Is to be hoped that Hie Icadurs among the business men of Omaha will not longer delay , tint will come together , organbo and provide thesmall amount of money necessary to show the evils of prohibition lo thelrconstltnent.s through out the slate and Insure'lts defeat. Jobbers report a fair trade but are com- nlalnlnir .somewhat and siv that business jacKstno mo ami energy usually attendant at this .season. Orders aie smaller than usual , nnd xxhlle there I.s a liberal movement In most lines the volume I.s not xvhat xvas expected. Collections aie said to lie fair In some lines lint not asa xvhole entirely satisfactory , nnd a good deal of pre.ssnie Is sometimes necessary to bring delinquents up. However , the situa tion heie Is no xvorse than It I.s In the east. Jiepicsentallve traveling men say that there appears lo be more life to trade In Omaha than In either Kansas City , St. Paul or Mln- nciinoll.s , and that the season has been listless and unsatisfactory to salesmen throughout the conn try. Colonel W. J. Onahan , comptroller of the oily of Chicago , Is visiting Omaha tills xveek , nnd In conx-ersnllon with an old acquaintance xilioiu lie met here , expicssed delight at the metropolitan appearance of this city , and \vlthli.s xvlde streets add handsome business , Xili > < ; ks , and predicted thai it would surpass lls H rivals xvest of Chicago If only.
