IDE CONDITION OF TRADE ,
Bomo'Llttlo Improvement Noted iu Local
Circles.
PROSPECTS FPR THE FUTURE BRIGHT ,
Omnliu'H Jobbing Trndc Continues In
a MoHt MntlHfnotiiry Condition
In All MUCH 'Moiicy Will
lie I'lcniy.
nuslnoss Jn a general wny Is commencing to
pick up , although the past week 1ms not been
entirely favorable for the advancement of
truilo bv reason of the few days of extremely
unpleasant and Jtortny weather. The local
trndo shows more life and ilcnlers themselves
nppcnr to bo moro confidant In thu future.
The Jobbing trade of tha city Is good
mid most houses nro kept ptottv
busy In filling out orders. The out
look could hanlly bo brighter than tt
Js at the present time. Crops In nil the terri
tory trlbuUrv to Omaha mo abundant and
roonev must bccoma plenty as they niu mar
keted.
Local dry pomis Jobbers report liberal
crdois of all seasonable goods , nnd that the
retail dealers ulthout. excop.lon ure picpnr-
ing for an nct'vo winter's trade.
In New York the liullotln remarks that
tboro has been an Irregular business In
ntaplu cottons duilnif the week under review.
The transaction of buyers on the ipot hnvo
been very modor.ito throuchout , but In
some quarters business accrultif ; through
orders by mall and ivlra Is reported to hnvo
reached verv fair dimensions , while others
ngnln have found buyers imlllToront. In tfco
aggregate the trndo has shown u falling off
from the experience of Into weeks , and from
reports coming to h.ind from the west and
northwest , this Is in no inconsiderable de
cree attributable to the prolonged spell
of warm weather checking business
gcnctu'ily. With n change to more
seasonable conditions agents look for some
Improvement and oxpnct the demand to bo
better sustained ( luring the closing months
of the jenr than usual. Stocks of brown ,
blenched nnd colored cottons aio In good
shnpo gcneially. with some makes so well
situated that further sllcht advances In
prices have been made. The demand for fall
prints has slackened materially , out still or
ders during the week leached a fair total , and
with most lines sold far ahe.id prices are
Ih in except In an occasional instances where
stjles have altogether missed buyets' lottos.
The print cloth situation has been simplified
by the manufacturers' decision to postponn
action on the wages' question , which Is read
hcio to mean the abandonment of any Inten
tion to reduce wages. There was an exception-
allv good demand for cloths during the week ,
nnd stocks nt Fall Klvcraml I'lovidencolmvo
been reduced to 472,000 pieces. Huslnosd In
Rlnghatns nnd line woven wash fabiles for
spring has broadened , considerably , hut In
the absence of any jrenoial display uf stand
ards , Is still much below nominal dimensions.
Tor full wear , stocks of standard dress ginp-
bams are wellnich run out In most makes ,
but flno diess st\los arc scarcely in ns good
slmpe. The } obbltiK trade has also shown
effects of the weather , whllo largo local retailers
tailors icpoit an unsntlsfnctory weolt. Cur
rent ropoits fiom other distributing centers
uro quieter than of late , but none the loss
hopeful with icqard to future prospects.
In local grocery circles there is not much of
general interest to report. The volume of
uado Is goou nnd conditions generally very
satisfactory.
In Now York distributors bnvo been com
plaining somewhat of reduced undo the past
iscok , but speak with confidence of an oaily
rotutn ot custom , nnd n soon ns that Is felt
It Is expected a call will bo miido unon bulk
parcels for n general renewal of as
sortments. Cost of all leading sup
plies temains reasonable and lu some
instincos there nppoars a tendency toward
TOther lower level , if anything. For Brarll
grades of coffee the fooling of uncoitalnty
continues , nnd operators gcnor.Mly are plvoii
lo much caution In all negotiations. It is
contended still that localities dtnwlne upon
Ifow Yorn cither directly or Indirectly
wo nt present cnrrylng comparatively mod-
crate supplies , and while recent aulvals mav
1111 some of the Irrmedlnto necessities , buy
ers nro leally waiting for n chance to como
in upon nn apparent safe basis. Tuo or
thrco times lately it has looked ns though
trndo wns nbout ready to improve , but n Hop
on prlco developing , knocked the promising
fcntuios nud upset apparently propitious
negotiations.
Otuilin hardware jobbers nro receiving n

mences to move freely
In Now York u pretty good business Is
doing and ropoits in most cases have cheer
ful form. About all seasonable Hues of stock
ore now meeting w Ith attention und tlio out
let Is gradually broadening as the various
dependent localities nro opening up demand
prott" well on time. Some dlfllcultlns nro
found In the way of collections , but rarclv
nny serious fouble , n.id It is believed the returns
turns on the crops \ \ 111 llrst settle consumers'
wants nnd In turn permit dealers to cancel
their Indebtedness. A good oxpoit trade Is
doing and there seems to bo much conlldonco
that It will gradually increase Nails lack
general animation.Viro stock does fulrly
well , Including quite a tloal on oxpoit orders.
but grumbling lou < 4 nnd deep may be hoard
over cut , \v Ith no reform in condition of trade
at tire-sent suggested.
Ono of the most Important features in local
business circles last week wns thu opening
of the Omaha grain market. Heretofore
business has been done privatolv iu the dif-
fci'Mit olllccs of the grain dealers but the
opening of the board is blinking the operators
raters together nnd establishing a market.
The Omaha grain Inspection is giving cen-
crnl satisfaction , both buyers nnd sellers
loaning upon It us being very fair nnd Just to
nil patties. There aio buyers licio who will
take nil offerings of grain In any quantity
fiom ono to ono bundled cars.

Or. PV. . McN'amnrn of Now Orlcnus , who-
Is registered nt the Palmer , gives u sotuo-
whut gruesome account of n visit which ho
recently mndo to the leper colony In thu-
I'lnquunilno district , bt. IS'nry's parish.
Thu colony is situated about 100 mlloi
soutlnvcst of Now Orleans. There were for
merly over 100 pcoplo tlicro , but ouo hy ono
they hnvo succumbed to thohorrlblo nllllctloa
until thcto nio only twenty-lira left , two of
whom mo ivomon and two nogroos. The sight
these \\rctchcd pcoplo present to n strnnger
who sees them for the llrst tlmo Is an awful
ouo. I've never concelvud nny monstrosity
which surpasso * these soon In this colony.
Their bodies , covered with the scales which
invatinbtj accompany thu disease , their faces
pale nnd emaciated , they wander nbout
tne coullncs of the territory assigned to them.
In tlig hopeless , helpless , despairing wny of
lost spirits.
As if the horrible nflllctlon were n dlnboll-
cal entity , It seems to delight In mutilatlnff
Its victims like n cunnintr boast toying vvilh
Its pioy. Here U n man deprived of ono enr ,
there another who bus lost both , then n third

CliincHo llurglur.
A most cxtinordlnnr.v story of Chinese bar
barity is that related nt the Grand Paclllo
by W. Jamie-son lilako , nn English ,
merchant doing business in I'okin. I'ho
affair Declined nbout three mouths ago
but as thu moans of transmitting Intelli
gence lu the Celestial otnplro nro very prim
itive , has only recently reached the capital.
A piominent toi merchant In one uf the
small towns in the interior of the kingdom ,
ono night discovered a burglnr in his dwel
ling , and after u llvelv chase , suc''eJod m
running him down. With the assistance of
his sou ho dragged the culprit back to the
scene of his crime , mill hnvlnjr no rope with
which to make him fast until morning , cut
open the poor wtetches nbdomon , bound hU
hands together with his own entrails , nud
then fastened bis feet to thu Iloor with heavy
weights When morning came tlio burglnr
\ \ ns dead Upon being nskcd why he had
committed such nn nttocity , when by limiting
n little effort ho could easily have proeun-d n
rope , the merchant replied stolidly thnt the
burclai h id rome to steal his property nnd
he didn't propose to boat even thu expense
of oven a iiiocu of lope on his account.
"As the Chinese law Is very severe on bur-
gluts , " said Mr. Jnmicson , "making It n cap
ital otTonso , nothing probably will bo done
with the muicluut. Indeed the government
probably congratulates itself on being saved
the oxpjnsu of a lognl process by the moi'
chant's piomptnuss and Ingenuity. "
in Immbur IJoln Workc'l Out.
I. M. Wcston , n prominent capitalist
of Dottoit , said nt thu Hlcliellon
that the timber In cot tain portions of Mlohi-
igan Is getting so thoroughly cleaned out that
there is very little loft for iho people wlio do-
psnded on timber culture for a livelihood.
"All the bait mut even Inferior grades of
trees aio cut down nnd nothing Is left but
stumps ana small undergrowth. Places
which worn once llouilshing towns nro now
dcsoitcd and depopulated , half the housoi
empty and trie other half wonilng an nlr of
neglect and decay. Everybody \\lio coult )
get awiij has either gene into some ether
business or moved to other parts of the stnto
where timber Is still plenty. The land
In thcso regions is sandy nnd
unproductiva nnd besides is so thickly
covered witli stumps thnt it would tnKo nn
Immense amount of latior to piupato it for
any sou of agi ( cultural use , nnd tboso
pcoplo have neither the moans nor the cx-
potiunco noLOSinry to farm. Inthecourso
of tlmo this land will grow up lu scrub oiks ,
and uill then bo vnluaolo a ain , but nt present
ont the outlook for the people \\hollvolu It
lb anything but cheerful. "
Poor Ijo in Wily.

"The fact is , that they would bo law abiding

cattle tn them at the beginning of the gtaz-
Ing season , but in lanl ty they ate silll tholr
