Some Comment , but the Outlook -
look Generally Ilcsnrctcd
F T several raoaths past there has been a
considerable decrease In the Oc.aha bank
dcarltiRS. This bas been attributed to the
pencral financial depression throughout the
country. } ! ut of late raouoy has been toiler
and the decrease In tlie tiaok clearings of this
city remain * the tame , or If anything are
lower than usual \vllhlri the fail month.
While the causes iiroduclnp this decrcmo are
well known to bankers It Is not MirprUltiR
that Iht-.v mould occasion ROIDO cornnietit
amonp tboso whoure not familiar with the
subicct.
Spcakinpln connection with thi' matter
Mr. J , N CornM , prciltfynt of tbe National
Bank of Commerce , said :
"Our bunk has no\-er belonged to the clear-
IriB hous.0. Heretofore have cleared
through the Nebraska National bank. About
three or four weeks nco HIP cleariiic nouse
refused to permit our clearing aay lonpcr
unlcu we would comply with the rules of
the clearinc home , xvhtcti we declined to do.
The cause of the clearing houno refusal was
this.Vo have been paying 3 per cent to
- ro-autry bankers on their dnily balauces.
There Is riot a bank in this city that cannot
afford to pay this j > er cent If they want to.
When our bank \vasor auizedabout a year
ape , we decided to pay 3 percent , in ordir to
brini ? the bank before the public ando \ ob
tain business. We bad to do it to protect
and further our business interests. T&edear-
incbousc- regulation Is that no bank shall so
licit any tras.inw , but we bad to do it when
ortraniziDi ! n new Institution , iu order tolmila
up our business.Ve had lo offer S.OIDO in
ducement to obtain oursbare.
"If a bank allows ether Institutions to con-
troltheir actionsthoy ; will have to remain idle
or taki- just what comes to them ,
" \Vc proposn to continue on asvehavo
done. It ivon'tdo to let any other institution
control or dictate our business jiolicy.Ve
have tried to t > o courteous , nnd to render
every accommodation In our power to other
banks.
"One would naturally think tbe action of
the clenrimj house would hurt us , but since
their resolution went Into effect we ha\e not
lost a customer. "
Mr. " \ \ . O. Templeton , cashier of the Mid
land State bank , commenting on the same
subject said ;
"The clearinghouse rule is that nobanK
shall pay more than ' 'percent on dally bal
ances to country oankv The National Bank
of Commerce has been offerings pev cent.
The other banks refused to clear their
checks on that account. This has been going
on for about a month ,
"This Inrgo decrease In the bank cloarincs ,
there lias liecn n decrease of about 20 per cent
lately , gives an outsider an erroneous im
pression of the banking business of the city
\vbcn based on the clearltm bouse reports.
Isow , you see , all the business docs cot go
through the clearing house.
"In mv opinion it Is rather school boy play
to allow prejudice and Jealousy to enter into
nnd govern a bank , instead of good sound
"It was only yesterday. * * continued Mr
Templeton , "that a friend of mine , a busi
ness man from Kansas City , asked me the
cause of tbo largo fulliiiR off In the bank
clearings. 1 explained to bim tbe cause , but
it can not be explained to all the business
world who goby the reports , consequently a
bud Impression gels out about the city
and its business. By refusing the
National Bank of Commerce , It throws our
bank out , al o tbe Nebraska Savines bank ,
\\hohn\o \ heretofore cleared tbroupbtbem.
"For the sake of the impression \vhlch foes
abroad if nothing else , the matter should bo
straightened up at once. "
MONET MAllKnT.
The local money market during the past
neck has not experienced much change , but
what little change took place was rather on
the side of easier money. The Danlts claim
that their deposits are on the increase and
tn&t them is not so much call for loans , in
other words , financial conditions are gradually
returning to the situation existing last fall ,
and prior to the period of money strinccncy.
The cause of tbe lull in the demand for
loans is assumed to bo an improved financial
condition among business men generally , but
it would bo equally reasonable to assume that
business men were keeping down their wants
to the lowest notch and were- not branching
out in any ucw direction that would bo likely
to require extra capital.
In tbe cast , the ru { > orts of the past week
have indicated a very favorable condition hi
financial circles. New York city financiers
assume that the point of pressure has been
passed and that increasing ease will generally
characterize the money market from this
time on. There nro apt to ba quite
heavy shipments of trend during tbo
summer , but it is by no means certain and
even should there be , there is no occasion to
apprehend any danpcr on that score. In
Knjjland and on tbo continent of Europe tbo
state of the money markets is improved and
the troubles arising from the Argentine mud
dle -would appear to have been passed for the
present at least.
In years past it has boon observed that
large amounts of money usually return to
New York between April I and August 1 , so
that the market there is frequently over-
supplied. _ It is quite evident , however , that
this condition of affairs cannot always exist
and forces arc already at work to modify
it to some extent The west and
the south are coinp extensively into manu
facturing and vast sums of money which
formerly vent to the large eastern cities iu
exchange for merchandise will be placed with
factories nearer home. Large sums of money
are nt present bclne absorbed In simulations
in tbe vrest on farm products. Even New
York capitalists , discouraged at the deathlike - .
like quiet prevailing In Wall street soeculu-
tionshave been Interesting themselves in
western farm products and sending their
surplus capital westward.
CHOP TAUK.
The farmer himself cannot be more deeply
interested In the success of tbo crops which
be plant * than is the merchant of tbo towns
and cities. Accordingly business men bave
been watching the season very closely and a
good many Inquiries have been made during
tbo past six days as to whether the lateness
lif the spring was likely to interfere with the
4- crops , Thus far everything has been favor
able , but the season has arrived when the
farmer is anxious to commence seeding and ,
until tbe wrather is favorable , some little un-
easluess is only natural. Omaha business
men who have boon out through the state
during the past few days rt'fort that
the fanners on the uplands in
4't j A- the eastern counties are nlreadv
4 " seeding. The low lands are too wet to work
J
# on and In the western part of the state there
' ? is still too much snow. Upon the \\liolobusi-
r * kl ncss men generally , regard the outlook as
very favorable for the coming crop and accordingly
v for next fall's
r , cordingly trade.
lE TKAUK.
There was nothing Iu the conditions pre
vailing during tbo past week to especially
vUramuto the movement cf goods either In a
retail or a Jobbing way. The delay iu the ar
rival of warm weather is a hindrance in
every branch of business , Mill , taking
nil things into consideration it must be
admitted that Omaha's Jobbers are doing
quite well , On account of tbo closeness of
money for a few months past and the lack of
that buojuncy of feeling tvhich plenty of
money always engenders , a good many
Jobbers have been , calling trade slow , but
wben they stop totigurvup they are sur
prised to Hud that they havu really sold more
goods tbanthoydld during the same , time last
year. It would bo interesting to ascertain
ju-twhat the volume of trade was for the
llrst three months of 1 V)1. ) aud compare'lotals
for the * amo months of 110.
In tba grocery business the sugar
trade incident to the going into
effect of the new tana is over
and Omaha bad orders for about all her
available stock. Some firms , which were
thought to bave loaded up especially heavy ,
hud barely enough.
CUus bprcckle * and the sugar trust bavo
formed a mutual udmlrutiou society and will
doubtless hold up prices , which have already
advanced lOo per hundred during tbe past
few days. T&e trade iu dried fruits and can
nrd goods is improving , .April and Muy being
about the best uiont&i tor the tale of these
roods Meats and lard are still odvaa in ?
Trade la general with the Jobbers appears to
be rcasonablv good.
The local trade in hardware has
been practically featureless durine the
week past. The weather naibeen against
the movement of peed * , but still there ba.
been a fair avurap * business. Some differ-
Mice of opinion may bo encountered In this
cnunectlon , but the weight of testimony is in
favor ot a eraduallv increasing movement
ami a broadening out of trade as the nearer
approach of spring necessitates purchases oa
the part of retailers.
Jobbers ofluraber arc not looking fora
very heavy country trade in Nebraska , Kan
sas and .Sooth Dakota " until a good
hurvcst Is assured , or perhaps not
until after harvest. Stocks In the
country generally are light and with
( rood crops there ought to be a brisk demand
In July and August 1'ncos hare not shown
much change , but frum.ng lumber and lath
are scarce. The local city trade is still small ,
though better than a ivcok ago.
Tbe wholesale coal trade is practically over
for this season and dealers do not oxpei-
much from DOW on until July when the re
tailers will commence ordering their winter's
supply. Local Jobbers have finished the year
In even better sbaptvthan they anticipated a
couple of months ago. In the out. complaints
as to the condition of the trade continue.
The supplies nro still increasing , the
companies mining and shipping more than
the market takes , so tnai in most sizes too
shipping ports and eastern receiving depots
bold excessive stocks. At thccloso ol March
it was estimated that the output for the pres
ent coal year was fully 1,750,000 , tons In excess
of tbo same period last year
The xveather of tne past two weeks nas
been ratber favorable for those engaged In
the handling of boots and shoes and a very
fair traile is reported In this line on the part
of retailers and Jobbers. The manufactur
ers , especially in the east , have not been well
satisHea and a good many complaints of tbe
condition of business have been heard
from that source for some little
tltuo bai-K. Materials. they say , arc
relatively hlgn , . prices of the manufactured
product low , and trade , as a whole , dull.
Duplicate orders In spring goods are disap
pointingly small nnd tbo factories not so well
employed as is usual this season , while
Jobbers appear lo be buying cautiously for
fall consumption. Although leather values
arc higher than a year ago , the competition
atnonir shoo manufacturers has virtually re
sulted in carrying prices down to the level of
those prevailing a year ago.
Dry goons people report a fairly satistactory
trade in their Hue. As noted before , the
retail trade has been very backward
about placing orders for summer goods
but as ttie season advances tbe'-e onions are
coming in more freclv. Reports from the
fur western states indicate a general easing
upinmoncv nnd a disposition among tba
IK-ople to buy goods.
cot NTJIT ruoncer.
In thu produce markets changes of interest
to the trade ha\e been few and of little Im
portance1. In a general way it may be said
tbe receipts have been small , but Just about
equal to tbo moderate demand. It follows
that stocks have been pretty well cleaned up
from day to dav. To go more Into detail re
garding the different articles of produce , it
may be said that eggs bavo attracted some
attention , selling as low as 12 < < n2l-c and
again firming up to 13c. At the pric.es
prevailing iu the egg market It has occn pos
sible for the shippers to operate to a certain
extent , and they have assisted very mater
ially in preventing any accumulation of
stocks. Butter showed some weakness
toward the latter part of the week , and there
was an increasing number of sales made at
prices under ! JOc Jn poultry the season is ar
riving when live fowls commence to be in
demand. A few chickens were received the
past -week and koid quite readily at prices
ranging from $3.Wiu4.00 ) , thouch it tooK
fancy stock.to bring the latter price. Live
turkeys and ducks are also beginning to
put in un npj > earance , though as yet
not sufficiently numerous to hardly make
quotations. Tressed chickens , if anything ,
were n little firmer und sold even us high as
lie for the best. Other dreised poultry ro-
malnod at about tbn sams old prices. Hay
was lower tban those prices which prevailed
a wecu or so ago , a good many sales of round
lots being reported at (12.00. Iu the way of
game , ducks have been coming more freely ,
but they do not appear to ba in very active
demand and are slow sale.
BPECCLATlVn MAllKETS.
The wheat market at Chicago for the past
week bas shown a hard contest , vrltb but
little advantage to either the bull or bear
side. Thb chief standby of tbe bulls has
been the foreign situation , which was strong ,
and advancing cables and reported serious
damage to foreign crops. Tbe argument on
the side of the bears is that the present out
look indicates over WO,00lUOO ( as the United
States crop ior 1891 , and that even Emitting
Europe to bo 100.000,000 bushels short , the
present high prices more than discount that
situation. There are prominent traders on
each side and as it stands the prospects are
for a very pretty fight.
Bradstreet's statement of available sup
plies in this country was surprisingly bear-
isn , showing as they do 4 , ( > 3 < iOCK , ) bushels
against 45,2uOXK ( ) bushels a year asro , being
about 2 millions more than last Tear and
"
5S)30XX ) ( ) more than in liSS . The" exports
during this crop vear have amounted to only
71,9S2,000 bushels against 82,100,000 bushels
for the same tfme iu 1&S9. Exiwrts for the
past week were 2,104,000 against lbJlWO
for the week before.
Corn and oats are eencr&lly regarded as
high by speculators who are rather careful
about taking the short side and then only lor
quick turns.
Provisions have not attracted so much at
tention as wheat , but on some days of the
week under review have shown considerable
activity ,
The following taolo will show the highest
and loWest prices paid on each day of the
week under review , at Chicago and St , Louis ,
