THE CONDITION OF TRADE ,
Business in the Northwest in a Very Satis

Report * from the southern states Indicate
thnt business is dull in that section of the
country , owing to the low prlco of cotton ,
nnd In the cast tbero U not much llfo to
trade. In the northwest tbo situation Is
much more satisfactory and business In a
general way good. Nobrasua Is experienc
ing her full share of this prosperity and
from every part of the state como reports of
satisfactory business conditions with tho'
prospect of n most prosperous season to
como.
The farmers are realizing on tholr crops ,
nnd as the prices for farm produce nro very
fair , they nro lu a position to throw a very
/Considerable amount of money Into general
Circulation. This gives a very decided
itlmulus to trade and Is n boon to the mer
chants who were pinched Inst year.
Wtlh fluch favoriblo conditions prevailing
among the retail merchants of the stnto it is
imrdly accessary to ndd that the jobbing
trade ol Omaha 1 * in excellent , shnpu. As a
pone nil thing collections are reported ns very
lair. The cold weather has had the natural ,
effect of stimulating the movement of nil
seasonable goo'ds.
Tha retail trade of Omaha is not all that
could bo asked , but there Is every prospect
. for an cany improvement and the fooling Is
. becoming very widespread that Omaha U
entering upon n period of unparalleled pros
perity.
The bank clearings show n heavy increase ,
the average clearings lust week being over
IIUKM ( KI per day. Some idea of the condi
tion of business in Omalia as compared with
other cities may DO gained from the fact that
Omaha surpasses nil other cities In the rale
of increase In the mutter of bank clearings.
This denotes a rauid revival in business
and renewed activity lu financial circles.
Mpncy Is easy at Omaha as well as nt tbo
eastern money cantors.
The market on country produce has not
shown much change during the past week.
Thu receipts of chickens have been quito
largo and nt the same tlmo the quality has
not been very good. A very largo porcontugo
of the animals buvo consisted of frozen stock ,
1 which does not scll 'ory readily unless at a
low price , which has a tendency to keep tno
market down even on the best slocU. Other
kinds of poultry have not boon In very largo
receipt and prices have boon quite satisfac
tory , as will bo noted from the quotations. _ -
Butter has been bringing pretty fair prices
and the market Is a little bettor than ft was
a week ago. The demand Unfair Tind- stocks
in ( Irst hands nro kept well cleaned up.
The eirg morkot has been comparatively
steady for some tlmo past , the price quoted
being generally at from Sic toc. . The
game arriving nt present Is confined for tbo
moat part to rabbits.
A fair amount of business has been trans
acted in the Omaha grain market. Grain
men all over the state appear to bo friendly
Inclined toward the Omuhu market and all
that Is apparently wanting to clvo UHS..OUSI-
-noss a great boom Is the milllnp-ln-trausit
rate from the railroads.

Character of the 1'ostolHco Foundation
Slto to 1S Dutnrinlncil.
Ever since Colonel Frank E. Mooros sang
it in tbo republican county convention , people -
plo have accepted the statement a * being
true that "there is a hole , In the bottom of
the sen. "
But there has been considerable difference
ot opinion as to the nuinber.sizo and condition
of tha holes in the bottom ot the hole \vhero
tbo basement of the now Omaha postofllco
is going to bo put in. In order to sot at rest
all speculation as to the character of the
sub-stratum of that Important building spot
Architect BelndorlT , at tbo suggestion of the
Washington authorities , has decided to bore
about sixty twelve Inch holes from fifteen to
twenty font deep In the bottom of tha pres
ent oxcavation.and la this way ascertain the
exact solidity or instability of the founda
tion.
tion.Work
Work of boring began yosturday. The
workmen are using a twolvo-inch well augur
and in a few days the architect and the pub
lic will know what kind of a foundation
underlies the government building site.

mestic situation will control the market next

an Increase of 414,0.x ) bu. of wheat while experts -
ports were decreasing I.IU3.000 bu. Indicates
that farmers' deliveries this week were 714,000

winter wheat sold sparingly ut lo over the
May prlco here today and Is hold higher. The
visible supply reports are expected to show
about 1,000Ujo bu. decrease. Corn and outs
were very dull and futures closed
! 5o to ! ic higher , lu sympathy with
tno wheat market. Shipping busi
ness slack , owing lo small offerings.
Provisions were a packers' deal today. A
leading hog buyer predicted that this week's
receipts would nut bo cquulod again In eight
months. Puckers bought lard early , ribs
later and pork very freely after the call , giv
ing the market a strong closing at the ad
vance.eoxpecthlgher prices on Monday
unless receipts of hors run conaklcrab y over

exist. The fact that wo are ut the bottom of
iiiJOo decline , nnd that the lower grades of
wheat , which uro mainly sent nt this .season
from this market Into consumption , were us
high u when the current speculative option
was several cents higher , together with the
fact of smiill receipts northwest und n good
milling demand , us well us export enquiry
started an advance which wo are of the opin
ion Is likely to continue. We favor buying on
any weakness. Wheat cables , wo think , are
as likely to affect prk'cn ' at present .us they
did when they wore stronir udvunalng , but ut
lci\sti'iu per uu. higher. Corn und oats were
neglected. Provisions were strong on light
receipts and good outside buying.

a disappointment to the bum's In wheat who
hud counted on extremely weak onus ,
I'urdrldgo'H purchases yesterday hud left the
crowd short , and when tno bull tupped there
was a rush to cover , advancing the prlco lie In
: i few Hoconds. The unwillingness of the room
truders to open fresh accounts on
i-uturday kept the market dull
und steady most of the session.
They sold u little on the easier closl tig cables
but bought It back ut the close when tnoy saw
1'urdrldgo buying. It U expected thut tno
visible supply will show considerable ao-
crcnso Monday und there has been som-j buy
ing for lonu account on this. The European
.situation shows no improvement , and until It
docs wo do not anticipate a sustained ad
vance. Tbo market cloned strong with
Indications of u Btrong opening Monday
I'rlcoj on corn und oat * on a light trudo have
hardened somewhat , butjihow no pronounced
features. Receivers say that receipts at in

liberal export movement continues. Varllos

"I nm In favor of several reforms m munic
ipal affairs , " said E. I * . Davis , president of
the city council , yesterday afternoon In outlining -
lining the policy of I ho city government.
"Somo of too work iitrciidy planned by
democrats will bo uudono , but as to methods
of city Improvements tlioy will bo changed.
I don't want to Hint fault with the last city
administration , as It was hardly responsible
for contract work beiuR delayed. It wns
obliged to wait bcciuso tbo city had to Issue
bonds before the work could bo commenced
and thus contractors could not col to work
before Juno or July. Now that the bonds
have bcon voted city improvement * will
bo bouun as soon as the froit
loaves the ground. It will bo pushed and alt
work contemplated will bo completed buforo
cold weather njfuln sots In.
I'oriHi-r FuvorltUm In Contract * ,
"Ono thlnp , however , that should bo rom-
adlcd li tliu manner In which contracts are
lot. Under the past administration thcro
xvuro prejudices against certain contractors
and others were favorites. The city onpl-
neor and Board of Public Works should bo
compelled to formulate spoclllcatlons of all
kinds of work , Including paving , grading and
sidewalks and the like.
"Thuro are three or four different kinds of
asphalt for Instance , and when they adver
tised for bids It hus boon the custom
to specify Trinidad or other as
phalt equally us good. This should
not bo. Why don't thny specify tno differ
ent kinds as well as the Trinidad )
Wants the I.ovy Lowered.
"Tho iipnortionmant of funds must be de
termined by the expenditure and require
ments of the improvement ? , but I am In
favor of lowering the levy as much as pos
sible. This is a mutter that wo must con
sider on estimates of work , but I think when
they are considered the levy can bo reduced.
"I nm also opposed , and that , too , on good
grounds , to diverting the general fund for
grading. My reason is that the main thor
oughfares of the elty are good and
sutllcieutly adequate. The grading of
cross streets U generally to benollt
501110 private individual. Of course such a
street as Douglas , or any thoroughfare in the
Immediate center of tbo business portion of
the city , should bo graded , but nsldo from
this I am opposed to any now grading.
A N'ccensary hut Kvpenslve. ICvll.
"What about the street commissioner ?
Well , thnt ofllco is a sort of necessary evil ,
but It should bo under the direction of the
Board of Public Works. The street commis
sioner should be required to report dally or
weekly to the board , in order that his worlc
could Da chocked up and regulated. Then
the city would pay only for the
labor that It got for the money ex
pended. Men on the street forces should
not bo paid any more money for their ser
vices than are paid by business men for
similar kind of worlc. I bcllovo in doing the
city's ' business as I do my own.
Should Abolish Tills Olllco.
"As to the sldnwalk Inspector ! That of-
flco should bo abolished , but an inspector
should bo employed by the city ongmoor and
Board of Public Works. Nobody has con
trol over the oflU-e now and it Is run to suit
itself.
"Tnero are also many reforms needed in
the matter of reducing expenses of city em
ployes. This can bo broucrht about by the
consolidation of ofllces , and I am in favor of
it whenever it is practicable. There are
too many departments at present and
too many brunches of departments which
are subject to no one. They run too inde
(
pendently. I tbink there- will bu a material
reduction in the forces of some of the city
offices. There are times when It is qulot
and dull and many clerks can bo suspended ,
the sumo as any private business rr.au con
ducts his affairs.
Salaries Should Ho Keiluccd ,
' Salaries in many instances are also too
large. 1 have always been opposed to pay
ing clt.v employes morosalnry for the amount
of labor performed than I would pay for the
same kind of work in my own busi
ness. Therb are now many em
ployes receiving SlOO or ? I25 u
month , when there nro Just as capable
and competent men on the streets who would
like such positions at $75 or $ SU' a month. I
believe In the city paying fair salaries , but
no moro than any other business would pay
for the same quality of work. "
Mr. Davis , also favors replacing street
signs at the intersections of streets and hav
ing the numbers of houses corrected reauir- '
ing all to number. For tbo street signs ho
favors the iron with an enamel over the face ,
but ho says this will bo a great expense.

when you can illy afford to got another , and
the winter .Just commenced. No ono in

llclontly interested In this matter to provide

with some suggestion you will confer it favor

CRUSHED HIS SKULL.
Itohort HiiriiH Milken n Fatal MUstcp From
Lumber I'llo.
Robert Burns , an employe of the Star
Union Lumber company , mot with an acci
dent In tbo company's yards at Tenth and
Nicholas streets shortly before 0 o'clock yesterday
torday morning that resultoJ In bis death an
hour later.
Ho was engaged with John Pfofferll In pil
ing up some lumber In ono of the sheds. Ho
was ut the top of the pile , almost fifteen feet
from the ground , and his companion was
passing up the lumbar to him. Just how the
accident occurred is not known , us the first
that Pfefforll know of it was when ho hoard
Burns strike the ground. It Is supposed that
Burns Inadvertently stopped oft the llttlo
scaffold that wns built around tbo pile and on
which ho hud been standing but a moment
before.
Tbo unfortunate man was ptckod up In an
unconscious condition and removed to the
yard ofllco. A physician was summoned. and
It was ascertained that Burns had sustained
n fracture of the skull , and was suffering
from concussion and compression of the
bruin.
The patrol wagon was called to romov *
him to the hospital in ordnr that an operation
might bo performed in hope of saving hl
life , but ho did not rally , and before the
intended steps could bo taken , ho died ,
The body was viewed by the coroner , and
removed to Maul's undertaking rooms.
The deceased was a married man , forty-
three years of ago , and resided with his wlfo
at HIT Nortb Fourteenth street. Ho had
bcon in the employ ot "tho company about a
year , nnd was a sober , industrious workman.
The Inquest will bo hold at the undertaker' *
at noon.
The coroner's Jury brought in a verdict
( hiding thut Mr. Burns' death was purely
accidental , nnd the company was exonerated
from all blame.

Omaha's aitiral Status.
OMAHA , Jon. 10. To the Editor of Tun
RISK : It 1s so seldom that the secular press
is so decidedly In favor of morality and re
ligion as Tun SUNDAY BBC editorial In re
ferring to a sensational dlvlno on tbo ques
tion , "Has Omaha Grown Moro Wlckodl"
"Itrcomos like rain on the mown grass eras
as showers that water the earth' . " The
morals of a city ( or an individual ) cannot bo
Improved by continually finding fault , and
as you say , "it can do the cause of religion
no good to say that the praying and preachIng -
Ing In the last ton years has muda no head
way against the devil. " Morality and
Christianity are vary closely connected , A
man may bo u moral man and not a Christian ,
but n Christian must of necessity bo a moral
man. The line between morality and Im
morality must bo drawn somewhere. As I
understand , you draw tbo Una , throwing the
Sunday theaters and Sunday base ball games
on the bide of other Immoralities of a moro
decided form. Whatever morality wo hnvo wo
are under obligations to the Blblo , either
directly or indirectly. The duty which God
requires of man Is obedience to Ins rovonlod
will. No doubt this law was revealed to
man at his creation. Most assuredly It was
revealed through Moses lu tbo ten command
ments. Love to God and love to man Is the
sum. The moral man frames his llfo accord
ing to this standard and becomes an excellent
citizen , ready to engage in any humane work ,
and expects hl reward in this line of duty.
The Christian sobs tbo utter Inability to keep
tha law as God requires , since sin entered
Into the world , and has accepted a substitute
in the person of Jesus Christ , who fulfilled
the law , and requires him to tuko the com
mandments as a rule of llfo. The law cay *
do ntul llvo , the gospel says llvo and do ; ' tbo
standard of morality Is the same In each
case. The line ought to * bo drawn Just here ,
