THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , MARCH 20 , 1891-SIXTEEN PAGES. THE CONDITION OF TRADE , Too Much Gold and Stormy Weather for a Tree Movement of Goods. PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO BANKING LAW , A Ilevlcw or the MOM til's Advance lu the Speculative Mnrkotn of tlio Country Changes In Produce. In the money market of Omaha there hai been no Important change durinsr the week past. The stale banks nro considerably In terested In the nincndmcnt to the state bank ing law and the subject has provoked moro or less discussion among thorn. The provisions - visions of this amendment vicre explained at length In thcso columns a few days ngo. Tlio only changes of miy Importunco nro the raising of tha reserve from 5 to lu percent , nnd the provcntltif ? of commercial banks from Joint ; 11savings , business. Tlio first men tioned Is a change generally approved oj by alt the state bankers of the city , ni It tends to throw greater security around the savings banks and , as a banker remarked , the suc cess of our business depends upon the confi dence of the people , nnd every safeguard which the Imv can dovlso will bo n ben efit. The f nil tire of a weak nnd poorly mniincoj bank , to n certain extent , cnsLs a suspicion on every othur bunk In the ganio city. In this respect bunking differs -somewhat from other lines of business , for. whllo the merchant may feel secretly gratified In seeing his rival involved In financial dlftl- cultlcs nnd forced out of business , as It will brlnif him Justso much moro trade , the banker knows that the failure of a similar institu tion in the same city must result in nn in jury to his own business. It Is safe to say Unit few , if any , of the Otnnhn savings banks allow their reserve to run as low as 5 per cent of the deposits , hcnca the ruls- luit of ttio reserve to 10 per cent will not materially affect them , except as It may prevent , at sonic future time , an over- venturesome bank from involving itself in illnicultles ami casting rclluctlon on other sound Institutions. In the mattcrof separat ing coinniorcl.il and savings hanks then ) Is not quite such n unanimity of opinion , us this will materially alTect at least one or two In stitutions. One banker remarked that ho was opjiosea to changing the present law , as the cxpcifunco of the past six months of the closest times known in Mournsku for years had shown that the law \vorko I welt and that ho was in tuvor of letting well enough off alone. The proposed amendment has passed thu senate , but its friends fear that It will bo lost through the press of business during the closing days of the house. The state banking board Is said to favor the bill and they may possibly bo in a position to carry it through. Omaha now has nlno national banks anu the same number of savings banks , but bu- fore many weeks hiivo passed thcro will bo one moru national bank. The German Savings bank people arc preparing to organize- the German National bank with n capital stock of fj.10,000. The bank will then bo moved into now nnd better cniarters further un town , whllo the caving bank will A. _ I ) " loft in its present location nnd will have a paid up capital of $100,000. , South Omaha Is also to gain ono national banlt , as the Nebraska Savings bank of that city will soon organize under the national hr.v. They will then bo nblo to compete for the Hvo stock business , willcli is now unonopollzcd by the Union Stockyard bank , a state Institution , nnd the , South Oman a National bank. The Nebraska Savings bank of South Omaha Is a branch of the Nebraska Savings and Exchange bank of Omaha , as the South Omaha National bank Is practically a branch of the Omaha Na tional , and the Union Stockyard bank a brancn of the First National of Omaha. THE WHOLESALE THADR of Omaha cannot bo said to have improved any during the past six days. Thcoxtrcmoiy heavy fall of snow , blocking up the country roads as well as the railroads , has delayed the movement of poods to a very considerable extent. It was impossible for the jobbing houses to forward their orders with usual promptness , and rotallclcalers throughout the country report the farmers snowed up and trade light. While the month of Marc ! has witnessed as good business as job- bors generally were anticipating' , they nro looking for something" bettor for April. Country stocks of goods have been run pretty low and the arrival of warm weather will bo likely to produce an active demand for all spring nnd summer stuffs , In groceries it is noticcablo that refiners have withdrawn prices for sugnn. for April delivery. Only a hnnil-to-inouth business Is being done in augurs. In the way ot prices , meats , lard , rolled oats nndsyrups nro mi van c- Insr. Trade , In a general way , keeps up well. Considerable activity was developed m the hardware business ( luring the few days of warm weather , which shows that . the country will want summer goods ' with the coming of summer wonlhor. Deal ers in this line have noticed that the orders received nro very full , being a general assort ment of goods. As ono of them remarked , where wo used to got llltlo three-linger or ders , they nro coming1 In now four and ilvo -pages long. A good many very nice orders are coming from Iowa , showing that the hardware merchants of that state , as well as dealers in other lines of goods , ore buying in Omaha moro extensively than over before. Barbed wire has advanced lOo per hundred through the agreement of the manufacturers , which was mentioned last week. Wire nails have dropped Co per kog. Tlio lumber business continues very quiet on account of the backward spring being so Unfavorable to all building operations. The trade journals complain that thcra Is a vis ible slackening Jn the dcmaiut for lumber at western points , which is a disappointment to the trado. Tno Missouri markets huvo proven particularly disappointing to tboeast ern manufacturers thus far this season , and bad roads In western Iowa and certain portions tions of Nebraska have cut off such call for lumber from the farmers as existed thcro for a time. Wblla the heavy snow storms liavn boon a detriment to trade m this section of the country , heavy rains and high rivers have contributed something to the falling off ot trade in the south. In the producing regions of the north the con tinued cool weather and abundant snowfall Is protracting logging operations so that about the only problem now connected with that branch of lumbering lu that section Is the extent of surplus. A loss in ono direction frequently works a gain In another. Whllo the cold and back ward spring has been a detriment in some lines of business it has plainly been of advantage to the coal trade. The movement of coal for some tlmo back has boon In a very small way , dealers piecing out their stocks from tlmo to time , but'tho aggre gate has been quite large , and being carried so Into into the season it has enabled whole salers to clean up their stocks in good shape. At the present time the coal dealers nro'much better oft than they expected to bo a month or six weeks ago. The now prices arranged for anturacito coal scorn to plcaio tbo trada In the enat. The prlcoi for the spring trade season were tlxed at n range-thnt will bringIn buyers who will talco away the enormous stocks already above Rround. At the same tlmo tboy decided to restrict the April pro duction to ' . . ' ,000,000 tons. Judging from re cent experience thcro Is no reason to believe that tbo tomm e will bo restricted nt all , but still tbo announcement may , and probably will , Induce dealers to buy who otherwise would not bo fully persuaded by the reduced prices. The dry goods trade has bocii devoid cf any now features worthy of mention. COUMIIY IMIOPUCB. Tbo most noticeable feature la the produce ; markets during the past week was the rapid depreciation In the value of cgn. For some tluio the prices paid lor eggs have been un usually high for the season of the year , a state of affairs brought about by the very llgbt receipts. Dealers generally vcre look ing fora ramd decline m tbo price so soon as the supply vtca Increased. This mcroaso in the arrivals commenced tbo tint of the WOCK. and , as expected , the market dropped rapidly from 'Jltij' . c , too high point of the previous week aim were soon soiling at 1462 15c. There are some who prcolct that It will go still lower during the wcok to coma. The poultry market was practically un changed , prices rcuiaiulDg iu about the snmo notch as a wcok ago. Dressed chickens have sold so long at 8 ( < JlOci HUGOS not see-in as It they could change , Gccse , ducks and turkeys ATO not la nulw o good dooiiwl M earlier In the season nnd the tlmo li ar riving when lower prices might bo anticipated. A few Hvo chickens have arrived , but thov will not bo In demand so long as tbo weather b cool enough to allow of drossea poultry being bandied with safety. 1)utter ) is not so strong M it wfts two week ! ago and the sales nt 20o for counlrr roll are be coming fow. About 18lw ? buys n very good article Just now. A few wild ducks are nrrlvlnp , but they arc not very fat , and the demand docs not appear to bo very good. Dealers do not seem to bo very anxious to handle thorn a * yet , and some are not even quoting them out to their country shippers. A few wild gcoso are also coming In to the market. The market on hay has been very lilgh for some llttlo tlmo. The heavier receipts have wcnkuuod prices some what , but dealers do not looic to see any per manent drop. ai'tCULATIVE MAIIKBTJ. There has been a broad wheat mir kot dur ing tbo entire wcok with heavy trad ing nud a continuation of the same old light between local bears on ono side nnd believers In higher prices , caused hy the strength of the foreign situation on the othor. Wheat advanced sharply early In the wcok nnd sold as high nal.Kfor ( May. Later It broke to per bushel nnd the wcok closes with the market nt1.03J4' , being a gain of l' < o for the week. Some prominent speculators still think that the foreign situation warrants considerably higher prices for wheat. Corn nnd onus hnvo followed the course of the wheat market. May corn sold as high as TO'n'c , afterwards a break of fie and closing weak at H7J c. The week oi > crcd with the wildest provision market since the collapse of Mo- Oeoch's lard corner several years ago. Trad- IniT has been enormous nnd the fluctuations violent. At the higher prices earlier In the week the packers were heavy sellers. 1'ho market closed strong nt a net advance of $1 per barrel on moss pork. SO cents on short libs nnd10 cents on l.ird. The following table will show the highest nnd lowest prices paid on each day of the wcok under review , at Chicago and St. Louis , also the opening and closing prices of the week , r'ridny was observed as n holiday on the board of trade und no quotations nrogivou for that day : O < n to Sfil ! 3 & $ 2K 5 88 ?

At the close of February May wheat was selling nt lWJ4'c aud was dull and weak. Foreign cables hnd commenced to talk about damage to crops , but American speculators were still bearish. When the advance did come It was all the moro rapid for having been restralnol for so long a time. .

Bulcomho has returned from an extended visit to Florida and U con gratulating himself that ho doesn't Hvo In that country of winter resort fame. ' The climate is line , " said the major , "but that is all thcro Is to the country. They don't ' ruiso anything down thcro but ship In every thing from the north. The hotels nro all run by men from the north and they take every thing down there with them their servants , horses , equipment for the hotels , feed for stock , as well as provisions for guests. "I loft Omaha In December lost,1' contin ued the rnnjor , "and stopped nt St. Louis , Chattanooga and Atlanta on my way to Jack sonville. From the latter plneo I went as far south as thcro were any houses to entertain strungcrfi. 1 found the last stopping place was a town called Jupitcra few miles from the coast on a small lake called Lake Worth. The town of Jupiter consists of an old steamboat which had been beached ou the shore of the lake , nnd in this n northern man had opened a hotel. Thcro were no other habitations around. This point is near the swamp lands of Florida and is the hunters' paradise that Is , 1 mean the pot hunter , thn man who de lights In bringing homo largo strings of ducks and other water fowls. I saw millions and millions of mallard , teal , red-heads ami every other variety. Very few people go gunning that far south , so that thcro is no real sport lu shooting ! But a person can get all the sport ho wants in the fishing lino. That part of Florida is the homo of the famous tarpon , with Its scales of burnished silver. These flsh frequently weigh 200 pounds and it re quires considerable skill to land ono of the monsters. I had the pleasure of catching a shark whllo at Jupiter. Ho was n regular man-oator and weighed 400 pounds. Ho was nine feet long and had u mouth as large as u halt-bushel measure. It required three men to land him. and It was no boys' play , either , "Florida is bound to bo a great summer re sort. It is within thirty-six hours of New York by railroad and the hotels there nro full all winter. All borts of accommodations are very high priced , as everything Is shipped thcro. All the tlmo I was gene l ate Omaha beef , pork and mutton. A person cannot get accommodation nt a place where the meals nro only tolerable for less thnu M per day and the rates run from that up to f 10 per day and the accommodation is nothing extraordinary at that. "Florida is n great country but I am glad I don't ' have to Ilvo there. It , can't compare with our country up hero with all of our winds and changeable weather. " IMMA ANDISUSO.VH HEATH.
