The event o ( the past week from n business
MnBdpomt wo the meeting In Omaha of the
Nebraska Stale Huslneas Men's ' Association.
The attendance was largo and a great deal of
Interest was manifested In the subjects
brought before the association. The business
men themselves were unanimous in voting
the meeting n success In every respect. The
affairs of the association appear to bo In a
prosiicrous condition , and no discordant cle
ment appeared nt any tlmo during the ses
sion. Outside of the regular business for
which the meeting was hclil.tbcso assemblies
of business men are generally regarded with
favor. A largo number of the moil actlvo
nml enterprising of the merchants of
the state are thus brought together , and
they cannot help but bo mutually
bcnclited. They nro enabled to compare
notes nnd ndvlso as to the best methods of
conducting the various lines of business.
Bv holding the meeting IP Omaha the vis- !
.ors wcroublo to become better acquainted
with the Jobber * from whom they ouy th ir
goods nnd to learn something of the methods
of handling produce , etc. , shipped In hero.
That they availed themselves of the opportun
ity was very evident ana the different busi
ness houses spent n good doa' ' ot tlmo Ic
showing the strangers through. It was not
entirely a labor of love for a number of the
Visiting merchants loft orders with the Job
bcrs ns pleasant reminders of tholr visit
Some who had not boon in the habit
of purchasing their supplies hero wcro so
well pleased with the larpe stocks of goods
nml reasonable prlcos that they voluntarily
promised that Omaha should have their busi
ness hereafter.

nf Omnlm U hnldlncr Its own in COed shnpo
nnd the pist wc k has seen a largo amount of
poods shipped from hero into the surrounulng
territory. As a rule the Jobbers hnvo done
very llttlo complalnlne about the condition
Of trade. They are meeting with good suc
cess not only in holding trudo In their own
territory but nro gradually opening up now
districts as Omaha nnil Omaha business men
become better known.
Dun k Co. In tbelr trade review of the
week report "trade nt western cities quiet
but very hopofuL" The llrst is true of some
lo-nlltics , especially as regards the retail
Ir ule , while the latter portion of the asser
tion is indisputable.
Whatever may be the present condition of
trade one thing is pretty certain , Nebraska
nnd the surrounding territory tributary to
innhn , nro on the brink of the greatest com
mercial prospcnty over exDoriencoO in the
X neat. Everthing is working in this direc
* * tion and nothing appears to stand In
the way The farmers nro confident
of nbuiidant crops , the ground being in good
shnpo and everything favorable while condi
tions in Kuropo nro such as to maintain the
market * , for the leading farm products even In
the face of n heavy crop in this country. The
merchants from the different parts of the
Btato who wcro attending the convention in
this city were enthusiastic over the outlook
for the fall nnd winter trade nnd they almost
Invariably expressed themselves as looking
for bnttor times than wcro ever before ex-
jicrienced In this section nf the country.
The recent crop failure and closeness of
money in Nebraska drove out of
business the weak merchants' nnd others
who wanted to got out of business
made tbo times an excu&o for failure , so that
the merchants still In business represent the
more solid class of men who have the enter
prise to push their trade for all there is lu it ,
If the reports of the merchants themselves
are to Do believed , the outlook for them Is
especially pleasing , and they have reason to
foci confident. With the country enjoying a
Omaha cannot help but bo prosperous.
COU.S'TUY I'KODUCE.
The market bos presented some note worthy
features during the past six days. Eggs
bavo been In very light receipt and have sold
largely at Ific a big prlto for this season of
the year. The high price does not appear to
materially Increase the receipts , and all
arrivals are picked up promptly.
Poultry has sold nil tbo week at about
Btcady prices and the market has been devoid
ol nny interesting feature.
Ituttor has been very weak. Eastern roar-
Vets were in such shape that the packers and
shippers could not afford to pay over U@lOc
nor lb. , nnd as the bulk of the receipts bavo
had to go to them it follows that the greater
proportion of tlio butter has had to sell at
that range. Some select packages are picked
up by the local retail trade ut a llttlo
more moneybut the demand from this source
Is limited.
The bay market has firmed upon tbo de
crease in the receipts.
FIIU1TS.
In the way ot fruits about the only thing
to attract noy attention has hern strawber
ries , They have been arriving at the
rate of two or three cars per
dav and as prices have been low
Blocks have moved off freely. The quality of
the fruit has been qulto good , but this week
the St , Louis county berries will commence
to comn , and they have the reputation of
bclm ; tbo tlncst grown. The crop is said to
bo largo and the fruit very choice.
CONCEIISINO VEOETAni.ES
thcro is very little to bo said. Potatoes bavo
been slow and tne market Is low to what It
was last month. Homo kinds ot new vege
tables are scarce to what they usually are nt
'this season of the year.
MAItKETS.
T.hls has. boon a wouk withont any special
feature of change In the wheat situation.
Copious rains In this country have assured
the growing crop of winter wheat and also a
-Ujry flno stand of the spring sown grain
v hlch has bad a bearish effect on our domes-
tin market , local operators being very bear
ish , The foreign situation is unchanged
since tne last report and foreigners are rep
resented to bo buyers of our new crop futures.
Exports of Hour nnd wheat have been quite
largo , bat our homo situation bos counter
balanced this to such an extent that the
market ut Chicago closed Saturday with a
loss during the neck of So per bushel.
Corn bos ruled very weak and with a ma
terial lass in value. The long expected re
ceipts huvo materialized. The visible supply
Is expected to again show qulto au increase.
Prices have been very soft and there seems
to bo n great deal of long stuff thrown on thu
market from all directions , us well as a con
tinued hammering by local boars with large
lines of shorts. The market closed \\lth a
loss of 7c per bushel for the week on the
July option. The demand for cash corn has
ceased almost entirely. U Is possible that it
mnv not stop bore ; howevorthero ; appears to
bo no doubt but what the market \\111 bo
oversold nnd the reaction caused by the same
must bo sharp when It comes.
Oats cloiod on Saturday at a decline of Go
per bushel for the wcok on tbo Julr option ,
caused by the copious rains. This cereal
last week was reported as being Injured by
* the drouth , but nil fears In this direction are
dispelled and many think that they will soil
till loucr , as the growing croo U doing
nicely and the acreage is exceptionally largo.
Provisions bavo had an uneventful week ,
suffering a loss with the general decline In
pork. The market In barreled pork U es
pecially heavy. Many country holder * are
yet clinging to tbelr holdings and It
seems almost Impossible for the mar-
kflt to react as they appear un-
, -Cvllllng to take a larger load. Chicago
local talent , understanding , this continues to
hammer the market on anything llko a re
action and some sar will ovcntuallv force
the county out. UU predicted by provision
men of good Judgment that we mar ox poet to

victory and were In tlio supreme control of
the market from the atirt , So much lone
\thcatwas thrown overboarl at the opening
that It put thij bull partyto a great disadvan
tage nil dav. TliIt who.it went Into the hands
of people who did not want It except as am
munition to USD on any bull party that wai
daring enough to attempt a rally. Vessoli
were chartered todny for 3.VOOJ ) binhcls of
whc.it and 4,437,003 bushels of corn , but no at
tention was paid to such mittnrs : the call for
margins was too loud ami persistent to permit
of other considerations. Wheat left off ut a
decline of 1'jc , corn dropped "o and pork 27ic. !
The weather was the nil-Important considera
tion , The brilliant weather following the recent -
cent hcivy and general rains made a crop
outlook which the ordinary bear seemed n Ill-
Ing to bank on to lils last dollar. Tlio
hcioy rcceluts tit Ouliith and Minneapolis
243 cars tocethcr with tlio news that the corn
flood from the country had started , also fur
nished great encouragement , The m tin
bullish Items were the reported en. ? igomentH
of 110,003 bushels of wheat hero. t-0WO bushels
nt Duluth , and lin.OOO nutliols at Now Vurk for
export. Tlio Toronto millers' convention also
promulgated n bullish ctitement regarding
the scarcity of supplies In tlio Dominion. The
early cables f urnlshud a lltt'u encouragement
but the closing f.ivoroJ the bulls. The wheat
market opened very weik. with sellers s-o
eager to dispose of their property that they
started by olTerlns July at 'iftle uiulor yes
terday's clo-.ii ! „ ' price. Competition to got rid
of It , however , was so keen th it It could not
bo absorbed In audUlcnt quantities and
fust ruotigh lo suit tlio unlnppy holders
who underbid each other until OS' c was the
sclIiTs' asking price : thus In about a minute's
trading Uc was lopped remorselessly oft the
price. The price hero mice be I ne down could
not bo lifted again , at least not over 4o per
bushel or so. July sold on the first decline to
( b'jcund did not subsequently get aboveM'ic
und It closed at 94tC.
Tlio gooj account from thn corn fields and
the liberal receipts wore the Influences under
which corn dropped 2io ! and closed with a de
cline. Theduys receipts were TOO cars. The
export demand U the factor In the market.
Atlant'c clearances yesterday were over

and then a steady decline set Inlilrh con
tinued untilfll'Jo was reached. Covering of
shorts ag tin carried It up to 5Jc , but It closed
There was a blc stump In oats at the start ,
pirtlculurly In the July futures. The open-
InK for .Inly was nt 4J2I54C. | but Inside of a
minute It was -elllns nt 4le. There was a re
action to 41Ic only to bo followed by another
dcitllno to4lc. The close at 41Sc Indicated ale
lo sof le over jesterday. Long oats canio
out In lar o ( iiiaiitltlcj and the solllns was
heavy.
The crop prospects are still unfavorable ,
but receipts continue litfavy , causing wcak-

NEW YOHK. May 23. The stock market to
day continued Its upward movement and
while in only a few stocks was there material
Improvement for the day , e\erything ad-
\aiiccd and bull points for next week wcro
thick. The bank itatenicnt showed a small
Increase In the surplus reserve , but this had
no apparent ulTcct at the time , for It had been
effectually discounted In the curly dealings.
The prnngcrs naturally led In the market and
buying orders from the west were. If any
thing , the leading clement In the strength nf
the market , the conlldeiice bcltiK based on the
latest reports of the condition of the crops nnd
the anticipation of un unusuatlly heavy
freight movement this season St. Paul
was , as usual of lute , tlio most
nctlxo fctock by a lar o majority ,
but Rock Island displayed the most strength
and with the two Industrials It Is alone In
scoring a markcl adance for the day , The
opening was made nt a slightly loner class of
prices than those of last evening and Louls-
villo & Nashville was down fi per cent , hut
tne buying began In earnest Immediately and
prices under the lead of Rock Islindand
Northern Pacific preferred mo\ol up until
checked by realizations. Rock Island was up

later trading and failed to react with the
general list. The is uo of the bank
statement was anticipated by another up
ward movement when most of the list reached
the best orlces of the day. The trad In-- , how
ever , was devoid of special feature and tlio
mirkPl finally closed f.ilrlvuctl\a unil stroni ,

ments for the 25 per cent reserve by $ lb,400 ,
The decrease of (5.G57.4UO In the loans Is a no.
tlceiihlo feature , nnd the fact that concurrent
with this , money ha been riuotably easier this

was a return of confidence to the stock mar

attempt of bear operators to cover outstand

Hendricks , but his photograph says that ho
Is an accomplished prevaricator.
Friday night CJoorge was arrested ns a vag
bj Oftlcers Hudson nml vVulkor , nfior qulto
n ehuie , and locked up. Yesterday morning
Sergeant bl wurt thought ho had seen that
face bcforo , nnd on looking over a lot of photo *
praphs that are kept on lllo at police head
quarters , not necessarily for publication , but
os an ovldonco of goad faJth , ho discovered
nn astonishingly good likeness of George , for
whoso arrest , by the way , n reward of $ i3 U
offered ,
It sci-ms that Mr Hrown-Hciidrlcks brokrj
Jail at Hiawatha , Kan. , lust September , and
since that time he Inu been roaming free as a
bird \\iiurorcr fancy und good Judgment dic
tated. It uould seem that discretion
\\oulil have kept him awav from
Omaha , but ho didn't think so , hcnco his
grief.
Shortly after his prisoner's escape , Sheriff.
Cashman catna to Omah.t in search of his man ,
but although ho was hero at the time and , lu
fact , has been hero ever since the officers
failed to locate him Ilrown was * brnkoinon
nnd was arrested for disposing of mortgaged
property.
Ho iv us very Indignant over tus arrest ,
nn it was not until he was shown the ohoto-
craph that \\cakcnod and admitted" who
ho was. Ho denied that ho saw eel his way
out of Jail , but insisted tbat a couple of
friends of his , an engineer and conductor
whoso names ho tefused to give , sawed their
way Into tlio Jail three aays before tlio tlmo
set for his trial , nnd he merely walked nut
through the hole His wife , who was em
ployed about the ] all during his Incarceration
the tv , departed with him through the same
aperture.
Since their residence in this cltv , the pair
have lived at l.tll ) California street , nnd n
complaint was lodged against tlio woman
some time ago , charging her with being a
sttcet walker , and an ofllccr was detailed to
watch the place , but bo failed to run across
Ilnwn , who kept himself very close. The
woman Is much smoother than her husband ,
and when the latter was unbosoming hlmiclf
to the detectives this morning she remarked ,
"shut your mouth , vou blamed fool , don't vou
see that they r.rc just twlng to pump you ! "
Brown was told thut the sheriff was com-
mi ; after him , but ho said ho would not go
back without a requisition.
