THE-CONDITION OF TRADE ,
Holiday Stagnation. M Usual Prevails in
Jobbing Oirolos.
A CHANCE TO REVIEV/ PAST TRIUMPHS ,
It Is Given Omnlia Dnnlcrs nt the Pres
ent HoiiHon Tlio Kino AVcnthor
llelpnil out tlio Holiday
Trade In Oinalin.
Tie ! usual holiday quiet is prevalent in
jobbing circles nnd the commerce of the coun
try Is Inking its nnnunl breathing spell , Tlio
traveling men Imvo been withdrawn from the
rend nnd few country orders can ho expected.
In the meantime many retailers nnd whole
salers are taking stock and figuring up the
profits nnd losses of tlio year. The past
year's , business in all Its phases Is reviewed
and plans laid for the year to coinu.
It ts n subject for congratulations that
Ornnlia's wholesale dealers , in aplto of their
coiistattllj'- . Increasing number nnd the
tightening of 'thb lines of competition ,
can review the business of the past year with
stills faction. Short crops in some parts of the
country trloutnry to this city \VM n serious
drawback , but the pushing of trade iuto now
territory and thoopcmtiR tip of new lines of
business Imvo been morotbnn sufllclent to
overcome the unfavorable circumstance , The
worstthut can bo snld In nny line of business
is tlmUrndo xva ? fuliyns good as fortlio year
prcvfous , but it is only in rare cases that this
is tr'uo , nearly every " " " , In whatever line of
business it may bo , reporting n largely In
creased volume ot trade. . Under sucti cir
cumstances' opportunity offered by tlio
present lull in business to rovlow the year's
trade cannot bo unwelcome to these most In
terested.
Tn retail circles , or at least to that portion
of Uo | retail trade handling holiday goods ,
the past week has been very satisfactory. . It
is 'safe to say that more holiday goods wore
fold In Omaha this season thnn over before.
This -may scetn n llttlo str.mgo in vlow of the
fact that money was considered rather close
but dealers find a reason for It in the picas-
nnt weather prevailing during the whole of
the month. People were not forced to spend
their savings in clothing nnd other articles
rendered necessary by cold weather , nnd
could afford to make more liberal purchases
of other Kood . At tlio snmo time the pleas
ant weather was a standing Invitation to In
dulge In the time honored custom of shopping
excursions. As frequently happens in trade ,
when tlicro Is nny great train in ono line there
Is some loss In others , nud 'tho mid held good
in the present instance. Wlillo dealers In
holiday poods wcro enjoying nn unexampled
prosperity , those handling ( ill kinds of winter
supplies were not so fortunate. The gcnoral
result Is the same , thousands of dollars ,
representing the savings of weeks , or oven of
months , have been returned to the avcnues'of
trade.
Ono local failure In business was chron
icled Inst week , the first of nny importnifco
in a long tlmo , but it was not of n nature to
seriously nITect other houses or to occasion
nny nltirm. In this matter Omaha bos been
most favored , nnd it is only one more proof of
the stability of business in this city that sucti
Is the case , nud that , too , nt a time -.vlion
trade In other cities has been embarrassed by
the many unexpected nnd heavy failures.
The financial horiron of the country is
brighter nnd , the prediction thnt money
would "bo easier after the lirst of the year
seems to bo already verified in part. Mouoy
was at no tlmo very tight In Omntia , the re
quirements ot the regular patrons of the
locnl banks being well provided for ,
but occasional borrowers nnd those who
hnd nlvcady drnwu hoavlly found i
dlfllcult to hoKotinto now loans. Money
Is 'now cosier in' the cnst and thnt
will | iavo.a decided tendency in the snmo ell
rectlon as regards western banks. As the
national bapks wero. anticipating a call for a
statement , tnoV wcro not so llbernl in the
matter of discounts ns they might otherwise
have been , ns It U only natural that they
should desire to make as good a Bhowing as
possshle. The call has now been innilo and it
may ho expected that the banks will bo more
liberal.
The i-cports of the condition of six
of the national bunks of Omaha ,
nt the close of business December
19 , are worthy of more than a passing
notlco ns showing how well they have stood
tritnrtcrm thnt caused serious embarrassment
among eastern , hankers. The following com
parison of the deposits of December , 1SOO ,
with these of 18S9. furnlshos conclusive evi
dence of 'the solidity of Omaha's financial
institutions :

'Tho totals show on their face a dfccrcnso In
the 'deposits of $ UO,4 7.1I. ! but niie Mer
chants' National voluntarily gnvo up
' government deposits , whic
wipes out the greater part of this de
crease. A falling oft In the deposits of
six national. , banks of only $10,407.19 is
certainly remarkable in view of all the talk
about n money stringency , A comparison of
the reports made October'nnd December 19 ,
1800'shows altogether n loss of & ! . 475,108.
but this Is caused chioily by the withdrawal
bv country banks of their deposits nnd does
not Indicate anything more than that the
inonfey was required in the country.
j\s to tbo condition of finances In the coun
try tributary to Omalm , it is asserted thnt
for a considerable distance on both Hides of
the Missouri river money was never more
plenty than ut the present day. In fact ,
wherever crops wcro good the high price at
which these crops have sold has brought
plenty ot money into the country.
- -Under the existing circumstances there is
no reason for the prevalence of any other
than n feeling of conlldencc in the future of
trndoin general nnd especially as concerns
Omaha nnd the west. One of the host indi
cations of what Is to como Is that this feeling
ot con 1UI en co does actually exist in trade mid
financial circles , and that Omaha's enter
prising business men nro already prepared to
increase their facilities and to branch out in
iiiaw directions.

Thu local trade wanted to sell wbe.it again
today , and there was nothing In sight to pre-
vontlt. Selling out by early buyers late In
the day was helped along by raiding by the
hears and together prices were put down very
easily. ICiirly trading promised no develop
ments and news was very meagre. The Irado
was without cable advices frotil Urltlsh mar

In the hope that the visible supply for Mini-
day might give a fair decreiiio. Clear , cold
vroatlior over tlio winter wheat states helped
somoearly. Later , continental cables told of
an Increase In flour duties In Spain and thu
eiii'oreoment of Increased French duties from

bears. New York cleared no wheat and 1 > ,000

Itor of Tins HUB : I hnvo always conslHttntly
ndvocuted nnd uphold the Indian fichooU nnd
hnvo never telegraphed or snld nnythlnt' that
would injure or bcllttlo them. 1 smcoroly ro-
fjrot that nil scholars do not rellcct credit on
their tutors , who I hold nro not responsible
for the failure of good seed well sown. I am
trying to attend to my own business nnd
often pray that others would ntuindto ; theirs.
