Money , say the banker * , Is not elmo and U
In falrstipply , but there is n rigid scrutiny
nf all securities offered anil this In substance
has been the situation for some tltnu hack.
Hankers as it nilu do not look fov any ma
terial changtj for the butter , o fat1 ns deposits
nro concerned until uftor the coming of the
iiew year.
WJillo the clearings at Omaha still fail
Rhort of what they were a year ago , the gap
Is being gradually closed up. .Thu clearings

In trade circles it Is noted that money Is
gradually working easier , n& collections Im-
provo. Country roads which were heavy ,
mulling travel slow two weeks' ago , liuvo
rapidly linprovod , and trade In the country
has been moru active during the past few
days and moru on n cash basis. This has had
the natural result of making collections
somewhat better than luoy wore last month.
Country collection cannot now bo called
good and will not bo until winter weather
sots In and the corn crop commences to move
freely. The best authorities look forward to
December as the tlmo when collodions will
show marked Improvement. The reason for
thin IM self-evident the retail dealers have
their .ihelvos pllud with wlntor gooJs and it
will reiiulro wlntor weather to start thorn
? moving.
Tlio oily trade naturally follows after the
state and all local retailers are looking lor-
wanl to a heavy Uuristtnas trade though the
movement of goods Is now light. Unusually
heavy stocks of goods for thu holiday trade
have be-on put in by both city und country
merchants.
The Local .Jobbing Trade
Is good in nil lines of business and In most
cases It IA reported as rushing.
Trade prospects were never better In the
grain growing sections of the west , and thu
outlook Is unusually brilliant , farmers are
commencing to feel the results of thn big
ciops and high prices for cereals and are
certain to buy more goods than usual. A
knowledge of thcso facts is encouraging to
the retail trade und In turn is foil by the
jooburs.
Dry Gooilfi
The local Jobbing trade Is excellent. The
little cool weather has already broken retailers
llio " In" business
ers stockH , making "lining
( jnlto nctlvo and there Is u feeling that
Omaha jobbers will have n larger late trade
than ever before. As u rule jobbers' stocks
mo not largo. Jobbers generally have Inul to
carry .somo of their bosl customers , and
whllo no largo portion of the crops hnvo yet
moved , the fueling Is s-o good that retailers
have been able to got accommodation from
their bankers , and so have many of their cus
tomers , and the result is that collections are
better than they have been for over a year.
Thu majority of the now trade take their
discount . The outlook for Iowa and Ne
braska Is most encouraging , and with cool
weather thu business will of necessity bo
large. The consumer will have the where
withal to buy , and a month's active trade
will so affect the retailors' stocks thut they
will need moro goods. Jobbers fcol that tha
outlook never has bcon bolter both for the
ualanco of this season and the spring * of IS'J'i. '
In New York during the week under re
view , says the Bulletin , there was but a
quiet io < iuu9tat Ilrst hands for staple cot
tons , but taking the current demand , to
gether with the deliveries In connection with
former orders , the movement has attained
fair dimensions for the tlmo of year. To
wards the close of the week tliero were
Humorous Inquiries being made by western
houses with u view to spring purchases , to
be forwatdad before the lake traftlc closes ,
nnd It is prouablo that these may ovenlunto
In an Increased trade during the next wok
or two.
Local Jobbers roporttrado as running good ,
wl'h a fair distribution of all kinds of gdods.
Coffees have shown u llltlo reaction. It is
tlio Ilrst tlmo any llrmncs has been noticed
In four months , but there has boon no ad
vance , only a firmer undertone. Sugar for
two days the past week wont oil , but recov
ered later In tlio week.
In New York , says tno Bulletin , taking Iho
run of goods on the market for staple grocer
ies , there aru few at the moment showing
any great Uegroo of animation , yet there is
business to bo found on Ihu slrcet all thu
whllo. and conditions appear fairly promis
ing. Some now stocks are commencing ' .o
move , notably the domcstiu growth of rice
and Iho cano products , and these na they become -
come plentiful enough uro likely to unmet
attention , though ucttiul natural wants of
regular custom nro depended upon to furnish
u pretty good outlet from this tlmo forward
until well on toward Iho close of the year ,
with a possibility of reaching liberal deals in
some Instance.-j.
Harilwuro.
Local jobbers speak of their Irado as being
Ilrst rate. Thuy appear to have reached the
tlmo which they hnvo been anticipating for
a mouth or moio when there would bo a rush
of business. Orders are pouring In by mail
nnd by telegraph. It looks us If retail deal
ers had held buck as long as possible and
must now have goods and navu them quick.
1'rlccs remain ubotit steady.
At main points of supply In thu cast thu
conditions do not appear to bo qultu .so satis
factory. In Now \orlc It Issuidlhut on most
homo outlets the pressure of moving supplies
Is comparatively moderate , with but small
ovjnencu of growing tendencies. Uuyer.s in
personal attcndancu cannot bo swerved from
their prograinmo of Investing only to a limit
of the list of goods carefully prepared buloro
leaving homo. Mail orders tire In the
innln fur staple gopds to fill out
assortments and the coriuspondencu
that comes with memorandums from
travelers repents llio story of ImlllTcroneo
among small Jobbers , retailers , etc , and u ru-
fusul to exceed hilly shown necessities. Thu

Oiuim : ! ( iraln Market.
The local grain market has hern llrm nil
the week , considering eastern markets. At
thu beginning of the wcok It was better than
nny other marhel on oats , and later buyers
ncro inklnc advantage of thu bulgusold
heavily. Prices woru advanced in proportion
to other markets , us tnu closing pi-fees of the
week will show.

Wheat has shown n downward tendency
during the week. The features of the homo
situation hnt'u been bearish. Continued
heavy receipt * , perfect weather In the north
west and somewhat moro favorable weather
for seeding In the winter wheat boll havu
conspired to make tin ) situation on this sldo
weak. Temporary rallies , however , have
tu'on : place , caused by ruthurjibcrul foreign
buying nnd by rumors of fo'reign politieul
complication , nnd also by the rehash uf the
news of the prohibition ot brcadstulls from
Kussln.
Corn has been comparatively strong , as the
cash doinand for the near by futures seems
to bo well sustained nnd dealers nru loth to
sell the new crop options until the movement
n moro liberal.
Oats advanced sharply , caused chlolly by
the export demand , probably Induced by the
prohloltlon of iho ox port of oats and maize
from Russia.
Provisions have held nbottt steady nnd
l hero SCOIIH to bo u disposition ou the part of
some iradurs to cover a portion of their
short sales on the January options. The old
pork options were nJvnnccd slightly by the
ruling of the directors of the Chlcaeo Hoard
of Trade permitting speculative trading in
old pork after the Ilrst of the year.

Sltletrnijkccl tlio Iteport.
It was two weeks ago tlmt .Mr. O'lCoefTo
received the coiiiinunicatlon , but instead of
Koine beloro the board it went Into his
poclcct , whcro it remained. Yesterday , soon
after the chairman had callca the board to
order , Mr. Berlin begged leave to offer n
communication. It was passed up 10 the
chairman , who romarKcd : "This is a copy
of u document 1 received n couple of weeks
ago. " Mr. Uerlln had no doubt ol that , and
at once said tlmt the board should comply
with tbo roquost.
iMr. O'KccfTo wanted to talk. He said
that if ho did not know any more about busi
ness than these Kcnl ICstnto Ownccs associa
tion penplo , ho would resign.
Mr. Hcrlln romnrkcu that the tallc was-nll
out of order , as there wus no motion before
the houso.
"Thoro will bo,1' remarked Mr. O'lCceffe ' ,
as he called Mr. JJcrlin to tbo chair and fjok
up a position on the lloor. "Now 1 inovo to
lay tbo ronununlcation under tlio table , "
said Mr. O'Kceffo.
The motion was seconded , after which Mr.
O'Kcoffo opened the debate , llo said It was
the same old light , renewed for political cf-
lect. It was necessary to Imvo assistants to
County Attorney Maboney In order to handle
the court ousir.ess. Years ago when L. M.
Anderson was on the board lib had refused
to slpn the warrants paying .ho assistants
and the court had ninnduimiscd the chair
man. The light on liarney ( Jordan was sim
ply because ho was a brother-in-law of Dick
O'lCcefl'o. The Heal ICstate Owners association
opposed tbo attorneys uccin : o they were not
"Whlto Cups. " The board had committed
thousands of illegal acts , but the committee
had never raised Its voice. It had spent
Wi.OOl ) in curing for the poor and there was
not u word on the btatuto books that
jusltlied such an expenditure. The
board haa voted money to send
paupers out of the country , but the wntcb
dops had not obiectcd. The commlttoo bad
pursued u most disgraceful course. It nad
asked for u statement of the disbursements of
the road fund , but Instead of showing things
in their true colors only a report on Thir
teenth street and thu manner in which it wus
graucd went bul'oru thu public.
Hntlior i ol n toil Dcli.itc.
Mr. O'Kceffo informed the board that ho
was soon to roliro from his nlllcl.il position
and opined that if his successor should hold
on for nmo years , us ho ( O'lteolTo ) had ilono ,
that man would ho in peed luclt. Mr.
O'Kccfl'o took pride in his ofllcml record niul
challenged any man to show where ho had
ever voted to misappropriate ono dollar of
public money.
Mr. Uerlln wanted to have a say and in
vited Mr. Timmo to the chair. Ho explained
that the communication was handed to him
Just , before ho entered the room. Ho thought
the members of the committee were on the
right track. Ho had held the same opinion
when ho Ilrst went upon the hoard , as ho
was then satisfied that there was no
authority of law for paying assistant
attorneys , oftieo rent , clerk biro anil tele
phone bills. For twenty months he had bcon
opposed by the other members of the board
and thanked ( Soil that at last the people had
taken hold of the question.
Mr. O'ICecffo was willing that the people
should know how ho had stood upon the
question , llo know that the members of tlio
committee had lied when they said that
thu help referred to was not necessary. Four
yoar.s ago when there was no auditor toohcel :
the books things were In a most wretched
condition. Then ho wont to Lincoln ami
asked for the passage of an act to apply to
Douglas county , by which an auditor could
bo appointed , ills colleagues opposed him
and the bill was defeated. After that , with
out any warrant of law the commis
sioners appointed nn auditor at a
salary of SISOU per year and a clerk to the
uoard ut a salary of $100 per month. If llio
Heal Kstato Owners association was so
anxious to economize , ho wanted to Know
why the discharge of these men had not been
recommended.
.Mr. llorlln offered the opinion that the
commissioners could do both the auditor's
and the clerk's work if somu of them would
not spend so much ol their tllno on the
streets and In the saloons playing cards.
Mr. O'Keoffo grow wroth v aud assailed
thu members of the committee , llo said tlmt
when thuy made their report , i few wcolm
sigo tboy ilod and they know that they Hod.
"Mr. Uurlln Insisted that Mr. O'Keetfo In.
tended to make a political speech.
"I nm not going to muko n political
speech , " remarked Mr. O'Ki'uffobut I am
going to talK against these political shyster :
and dirty curs , I am glad thuy gave that
paper to Mr. Berlin , as It glvos mo a
chance to open my wind bag , which
1 could i.ol do , so long as I bad the original
communication in my pocket. There Is not u
word of truth In the wholuluttur. It Is u d d
ll , and the members of that committee uro
man who are not capable of telling thu
truth. "
Mr. Timmo was excused from acting as
chairman for a longer period of tlmo , ami
upon gaining thn lloor spoke upon the subject
or county physicians.
Mr. Uorlln Insisted that the question was
not up for discussion.
Mr. Timmo wus uwuro of that , but wanted
to talk , llo tnUi that , the people gave the
commissioner ; ) h11 If they did and h-ll If
they didn't ,
\Voiiiul Up Peacefully.
To cut off debate the moinbors tried" to
reach n vote.
Mr. lierllu moved the communication bo
rofcrred to u committee.
Mr. O'lCecffc , an an amendment , moved U
llo under the table.
Tlio motion to refer prevailed , Mr. O'KccfTo
votliii ; "no. "
"What committee shall it bol" asked Mr.
llorlln.
" 1 would suggest the committee of roads , '
replied Mr , O'Keoffo , "for then It run ho
