The situation In the local money market Is
In some rejects rather peculiar. Manny U
close and locally collections arc very poor ,
but a' , the same tlino the o.uikn have plenty
nf money and are willing to loan It un good
security. Tno complaints from some would-
bo borrower. ! to thu effect tint the b inks
will not let their money nut comes from those
who clcilro to borrow on collateral that could
not bo rcBMrdod from a banker's ' standpoint
ns ll'st-class.
Iu times put wneri bi-dmm was very no-
tlvo and collections o.tsy the u.inm have
made loans on security which they would
not bo justified In accepting at thu present
timo.
The indications nro that tlio small grain
grwn in this .stnto will ho iirtrKctoJ as soon

that commences to move freely It will start

LOCAL IinTAlt , THADH
Is poor ami a good many complaints are heard
Iri'tn ' all sides and from nil lines of business.
Not , only Is the demand for goods lliiht but as
in iitioa-'d above , collections are very slow ,
ului-h adds materially to the discomfort of
incrrhnnt.H. Nearly all the business troubles
for sumo time tia < t can bo traced to poor
colIecMons. The ro'jent strikes , by wliich
largo numbers of wngo earners have been

hope to see the labor troubles speedily set

of Omaha so far as the staple lines of busi
ness are concerned at least continues qullo
good for the season of the year , und com
plaints from Jobbers aru seldom heard.
The warm weather of the past two weeks
has been very grateful to those who have
been watching the development of the corn
crop , it may bo said that every day of favor
able weather adds to thu confidence with
which business men view the outlook > ind
their hopes follow closely the rise and fall of
thu tempcruturo.
"Hot weather " said business "
, a man , "may
ipsV.o New Yorkers sick , but it agrees with
? Ncbraskans Just now. "
lu hardware there have boon no especially
new developments awaiting mention. The
volume of trade has boon fair for the past six
days und about up to the iivoriige of previous
seasons. The heavy fall trade which jobbers
arc anticipating has not materialized as yet ,
hut the prospects are nattering. As to prices ,
rope is oil ' . | C. while tin plate has been
marked up. An advance in barb wire is an
ticipated on account of the Columbia patent
company securing control.
> in New York much the usual moderately
'active trade , with u tendency to increase , Is
reported , and the market really amounts to
very little as a oasis for new or particularly
interesting suggestions. Supplies gdierully
uro In good form , both as to quantity and
assortment , to meet any ordinary contingency
in the way of demand , certainly a great deal
larger outlet than now presented ; but the
trade is probably lu good condition for carryIng -
Ing , nnd pressure to realize is uot rcsorte.l to
lu any case. IMces , however , are somewhat
slack , and cvon on many of the most staple
articles price lists have .something of a nom
inal character at the moment. Nui's meet
with nppatently no greater or less demand ,
business running along in about the usual
channel , with buyers Indifferent to all In
fluences except tholr natural Imtnudlato
wants.
The local grocery jobbing trade is keeping
up well , in fact some houses report an im
provement during tl'o past two weeks. Col
lections In the country nro very fair. Sugars
are selling very low , Coffco continues linn
In spite of the reports of it largo crop In Ura-
zil. Importers say that the market will bo
no lower , ns the scarcity last year cleaned tin
tucks very closely. Although it was antici
pated that canned goods would be lower on
ucrount of the largo fruit crou , the advance
In the price of tin cans ot about 10 cents per
ilo/.en , nnd the poor uu.tllty of the fruit U
"Seeping " prices up to about where they were
ul the opening at last season ami on some
brands nlgh'ir. Dried fruits will bo lower us
the poor iriilt Is being dried instead of
canned , thus increasing the supply of the
dried article.
A Kan Francisco letter of very recent date
olluiics in somewhat emphatic terms to the
nllegod shortage in the pacic of California
canned fruit , stating that the lateness of the
/stv on and the maturing of several varieties
of fruit at ono time has been a gru.it draw
back. One authority pees so far as to ven
ture the opinion that the California pack all
told will not bo more than 75 per cent of that
of an ovoruno season , and asserts also that
the arrival of apricots , peaches and pears
simultaneously has foriou some packers to
throw green fruit upon the market. To
what extent this unenviable condition of
nlt'iirs ' has been experienced Is not hinted nt ;
hut if present offerings by commission mer
chants and brokers Is any criterion there will
Do enough canned fruit to go around. Can-
HITS doubtless Imvo cause for dissatisfaction
with tlio condition of the market for their
products , but it Is plain that drier * are hav
ing a harder row to boo. Until late lu the
Benson driers wnro unable to secure green
fruit nt reasonable prices , und their average
cost was rather high. Now that it Is time
for the goods , buyer * are found to bo exceed
ingly indifferent. As n mutter of fact It
looks as though distributors In nearly all
sections are "sitting down" on dried fruit
as heavily as they know how.
The wholesale dry goods pcoplo of Omaha
make a very good report of the condition of
trade lu their line Not only Is thu volume of
business holding up to last season but In some
Instances an Increase Is noted. Even If trade
wcro slow with tholr old customers thcro Is
plenty of now territory to bo opened up
where merchants have not yet learned to buy
their dry goods In Omaha.
Of the dry goods trade In Now York the
Bulletin says : The general characteristics
of the market have undergone no change
tkjciujj the week. There has been tt fair , at
tendance of buyers from day to day , and un
til exceedingly hot weather sot In with Sat
urday , spot transactions were of fully aver-
ngo extent. Since Saturday the market has
been decidedly "under the weather. " and
visitors have exerted themselves as llttlo as
jiosslulo , unless It wcro Iu n vain
endeavor to Hud some cool nlitco lu which toned
nod the day away. Orders by mail nnd wlro
linvo , however , come along regardless of
thermomctcrlcal conditions , und the business
nemiing from these has boon fully equal to
Into experience. For full prints , dark dross
plnguams and full dress fabrics , in all-wool
nud cotton-wart ) makes , there has been a
moderate uonmml ut IIMl hands , although In
thu first mentioned the co.itlntied nb < uuco of
the southern demand is being felt bv moH
houses. Business In domestics has proved
somewhat Irregular. As noted In previous
reports , the demand has been largely con-
lined to best known tickets , and so'moof
these nro In fair shape so fur us stocks uro
concerned , with prices steady. In the In
stance of wldo sheetings there has been some
recovery Iu certain line * from the low level
touched two months ago.VUlo sheetings ,
are. however , no guide to the general sttuu-
tlo ! ! , and in both bleached auil brown goods
the tone mid disposition of sellers arc much
In accordance with the position of their
stocks.

MANUFACTORIES IN OMAHA ,

HOME PATRONAGE WILL BUILD A CITY ,
A Ii.irgo City Cannot Ho llttllt and
Mnlnlaliiivl In n Prosperous Con-
illtlonVltliout MnmtiUU *
tnrlii ) ; IntorCNtH.
Among the < o who hnvo Riven the matter
any attention Itis u generally reco ntzuJ fact
that the manufacturing Ititotvsts are the
chief support of every lutnml city. Muni *
dualities thAt hnvo some natural advantage * . ,
ns n location on a line harbor where thcro
nro largo shipping Intorjst.s , tnaj' attain con
siderable prosperity Independent of mauuinc-
tiirtug lutci'ous , but tholr growth must nec
essarily ho limited.
Manufacturers give omployinont to lahor-
Inc ; iiioti the year round. The men , ns n rule ,
have largo families that must be fed nnd
clothed , aud this gives support to the butcher ,
the b.tker. the grocer nnd the clothier. I'uhlla
Improvements and extensive building opera
tions arc nil a help In their way , but the em
ployment obtained from such touivoi , Is
necessarily limited ns to time , and the
laborer may Und himself thrown out of work
Just at the so.tson when winter Is approach
ing and ho most needs employment. It fol
lows that men who do that kind of wont must
bo light-footed , as the saying goes , and they
rai'cly anchor themselves lu any place , but
are ready to move on lo another town so soou
as the worn falls.
A cltv gains but little from this floatlnr *
class of laborers. While they arc at worle
they spend their money mid trade feels Iho
toinpor.trv benefit , but they give no perma
nent help in Iho way of building up and mill
ing lo the wealth and population of the city.
Thu wholesale houses are an Important fea
ture In the development of a city , but they
cannot tnko the place of factiiries. The
manager of one of the largest Jobbing house *
in Omaha iu .speaking on this subject ro-
inaritcd that his house employed in one way
and Miuttiur nearly a huudreil pooplo. This
number included boys , teamsters , porters
and clerks. A factory dome ; a
business of the same magnitude
would give employment to n great many
more people. In fact only a short distance )
from this wholesale house which h always
pointed to with pride by the citi/ens of Oma
ha , there is a small factory of the very exist
ence of which not ono in tlfty of the pcoplo
iu o a ware. At the same time this unpreten
tious factory gives employment to moro
laborers- than the big jobbing house.
Could anything prove more conclusively
the grout value of manufacturing interests.
The city wants tlio Jobbing kouso < , but lu its
pride in them it must not be forgot
ten that u small factory is of
as much value ns a largo jobbing-
establishment.
Omaha has already made quite a start
toward becoming nil important manufactur
ing point , in fact more of n start than many
people imagine.
An eastern capitalist , who has Invested
quite extensively lu western property , re
cently spent a day or two In Omaha and wns
shown u bout the citv by several public spir
ited parties , Ho was anxious to learn from
what source the city derived Its support.
They told him of Omaha's expanding who'.o-
snlo'trado touching to the Pacific coast , of
the law buildings in course of
construction and that h.id been com
pleted in the past year. Ho In
quired after the manufacturing Interests
and was shown the packing plants at South
Onuili , tlio while lead works , smelting works' '
nnd linseed oil woiks and his infontiunt ex
plained that there wcro several other small
lactorlcs lu the city.
The visitor left for his homo with the idea
Unit there were four or five largo factories
in Omaha but that there ought to bo it great ,
many moro If the prosperity of the city waste
to po maintained. Had his informant been
posted on the subject they might have told
him that there were 1(18 ( manufacturing estab
lishments lu the city with nn invested
capital of about eight million
Hollars. that over 113,000 laborers
nro employed nml that tha yearly output of
the factories is valued at $25,000,001) ) . This
would have been a very respectable showing
oven in the ojvs of nn eastern capitalist.
A leading manufacturer remarks that the
people of Omaha do not talk enough about
thu manufacturing Interests of the city , and
that they ought to bo butter informed on the
subject , so us to hn able to give n favorable
Idea its to the solidity of the city's growth to
visitors.
As thu people become better In formed as to
the kind.of Inctorios hero ana the success of
the various enterprises they will bo moro
willing to give their time and even money
toward inducing other factories to locuto
here. Moro than that , as their Interest bo-
conies awakened , they will give their pat
ronage to homo institutions nnd by that ,
moans help to build up the industries itlreudy
located hero.
This lntroduic.i another phase of the sub
ject , that is homo patronage.
If every clti/.cn of Omaha would buy goods
ns tar as possible of Omaha manufacture ,
and if every wholesale house In the city
would try to push the sale of the .same goods
the manufacturers would soon double tholr
capacity nnd wo would hnvo i ! 1,000
instead of 12,000 workingmen nnd mechanics
drawlt'g regular wuqes the year throuch.
Some wholesale house * have been follow
ing that policy to some extent , and thu re
sults have been very banellcial to the manu
facturing interests of the city. Onn grocery
house which formerly bouirht its supplies of
vinegar nnd pickles in the east has lately
lilled its ordor.s from local manufacturer. * .
T.ho s'lino house has also commenced soiling
Omaha inndo cereals , hominy , etc. They
have also tried to some extent to work lu
Omaha cigars , but thu local factories nro so
small that they found it dlllicult to got
enough jilgnr.s of ono gr.ido and make
to bo able to handle tliom to
advantage , but thtiy have sold largo quanti
ties of s.rrupi. extracts , baking powder ,
yeast , etc. , manufactured In O.naha. Thora
nro a good many brooms and baskets mndo In
Omaha , but If nil the jobbers handling such
goods would give tire preference to thu homemade
made article the output would be greatly in-
creaso.l.
The dry goods dealers have nlso contributed
much to thu upbuilding of local manufactur
ing Interests , having established qulto extensive -
tonsivo overall factories of tholr own , which
give employment to u largo number of pee
ple.Jobbers
Jobbers In other lines of business might bo
mentioned who have done much to tic-
volnpu the manufacturing Interests of
the city , but the number is still too small nnd
much moro should bo done.
In calling attention to the subject In Tun
Iiii : ; two objects are to bo attained. Ono Is
tlio education of the people of Omaha In mat
ters pertaining lethe manufacturing interests
nf the city , thu kind niid location of the fac
tories , HI ) style of goods inadu nnd
Iho methods employed , the benollt of thcso
factories to the cit.v In giving employment to
labor and other Information that may prudent
Itself. The second object Is to FO Interest
the pcoplo in the success of the manufactur
ing interests of thu city that they will give
thorn their patronage In every way possible.
A tthrovvil iniiiitifacturor observes 'that a con
sumer can do moro for n factory hy
.simply Insisting that his merchant supply
him with gooIs : from that factory than the
best of salesmen.
With the above objects In view , Tin : Run
will devote n column each week to the dis
cussion of Omaha factories.
