THE CONDITION OF TRADE
p
' \Tho KetJl Trade of Omnba Gradually Im
proving ,
PLENTY OF MONEY FOR INVESTMENT
flic Month Clours with the T.nrnl Movement
of llonds In n Jobbing Wny In n
aiost Hatlsfnctory Con
dition ,
There Is no denying the fact that lornl
Irndo conditions nro Improving. Even the
retail trudo , which It was predicted would bo
the last to feel the revival of business activ
ity , shows declJoil signs of Improvement ,
Money Is caslcr7 moro people are employed
ind they ate spending their money moro
freely for the necessities and luxuries of life.
The feeling of confidence In the future
which pervades all classes , working people
ns well as business men , tends to relax the
purse strings nnd cause money to How moro
freely In the channels of trade.
The clearings nro showing ut > well , the
total for the week being over flvo millions ,
which Is an Increase of ! U.4 per cent , There
Is plenty of money for nil legitimate business
enterprises , nod the fact that thcro l Idto
capltnl seeking Investment Is quite likely to
set ntlont u number of new enterprises the
coming i > pi Ing.
The Jobblne trade continues In a most sat
isfactory condition taking it as a wholo. The
pnst month will to on record as being an ex
ceptional January as regards the largo vol
ume of trado.
In hardware Jobbers were reporting- for
thn past six dnys trade up to the average
with a satisfactory increase over the sanio
tlmo a year ago. At the same time It wns
not in all cases up to what was anticipated ,
but th'.s might be explained by the fact that
Jobbers had pretty high notions of what tno
trade ought to bo. Collections In the hard
ware line were n llttlo below the nvorngo
during the post week or ten days. No im
portant changes were reported In prices.
In the grocery line tbo Jobbing trade keeps
up very well , In fact ns well as any ono bad
reason to anticipate. The whole month will
ihoxv an cncrcaso In the volume of business
over January nyoar ago. Values hav been
about steady , there being no material chance
In any line of goods. In Now York , accord
ing to the Bulletin , the street market has re
tain o.d most of the recently ad vlsca favorable
symptoms , and thcro are few articles upon
which holders have Ibst any Important
ground , or would not bo able to pick up some
advantage should the Injury assume any
forco. Buyers , however , are moving with a
llttlo care Just now , as the end of the month
is approaching , und tnat generally brings
with it a curtailment of orders until a now
month can bo brought upon the data of
invoices. The distribution into natural
consuming exhausts goes right along
fairly and steadily , und at tbo end
of the murlcet tboro Is nothing to suggest
curtailment , of trade , but there is a llttlo
doubt about the probable position of Jobocrs
during the next month or two. Their ac
cumulations are not over abundant , but they
may be compelled to nurse them and abstain
from making additions , owing to the season
able uncertainties about moving forward ad
ditions. In tbo way of coffees In all general
particulars it would bo called at least a
steady market , and enthusiastic holders
express a stronger foohtig ever the situation
on Brazil grades. The distribution in hands
of actual consumers Is somewhat Irrojrular ,
first ono bouso and then another getting a
day or two of good trade , to bo followed by a
shrinkage , but tbo supply booms to bq In
good hands and generally very well carried.
Jobbers buvlug simply for natural trade
Wants probadly would not make much of a
demonstration , but the turn ever of Invoices
on speculative deals has kept considerable
Block In motion of into , and given tbo mnr-
Uot nu appearance of moro or loss animation.
There is not much to say about the local
Jobbing trade In dry goods. The demand is
fair for the season and the volume of goods
moving Is large. The Jobbers are looking
forward to a most prosperous year In Ne
braska. In Now York City at this time last
year , savs the Bulletin , artificial influences
aided cons , 'irably In stimulating purchases ,
yet when comparison is made with any cor
responding period of legitimate trading any
ditforencos will bo found In favor of this
season. The absence of the average demand
from the south is very noticeable In this mar
ket at first and second hands , but at interior
and eastern trade centers and those most
distant from that section the volume of busi
ness completed Is ahead of that for corresponding
spending months. This and other markets
that have done most largely with the south
fool the effcots of tno burden which that la
bors ubdor through the very low prices
for the largest crop of cotton over
raised , in short , tbo south is not In
tbo swim , as bus boon demonstrated by the
moderate supply of creeds that has bean prepared -
pared aud the absence of many qualities that
In past seasons bavo boon manufactured par
ticularly for that section. Whether any re
cuperation of the demand will bo developed
later In not material , as the present Is what
wo have to do with ; yet it Is Impossible to
realize from what source any rejuvenating
force Is likely to spring before the maturing
and marketing of the growing and to bo
planted crops. With Interior and western
lections opposlto conditions hnvo prevailed
from the outset ot toe season , and the volume
of business affected has been ou a larger
scnlo than over , and promises to bo main
tallied on a like magnitude.
The local produce markets have been
rather quiet during the past week aud prices

Considering the fact that compared with

hnvo been drawn , but only eighteen men will
bo required to servo. Upon receiving their
Instructions from Judge Uavli , the grniul
jurors will repair to the grand jury room , on
the second floor , In tbo north cast corner of
the court house , select their foreman and go
to work.
As yet , the mutter has not boon dUcusscd ,
but It Is thought that cither Joseph Barker
or Samuel Orchard will bo appointed foreman -
man ,
Just what will bo brought to the attention
of the grand Jury Is not positively known ,
though It Is said that the members will ba
called upon to investigate the question of th
grading of South Thirteenth street and how
the county funds were used In that connec
tion. After disposing of that matter the
eighteen men will bond their energies In look
ing Into some of the deals Hint were handled
by the last city council. The awarding ot
the contract for furnishing the city hall
furniture i\lll not bo neglected. Then tin
members will take upnnd look Into the Uallou
clcctrlo light deal , In which several councilmen -
men cut qulto a flguro. The bogus chock for
$ ! > 00 , given to ox-Councilman Madson , obnlr-
mnn of the committee on gas and olcctrla
lights , by Mr. Uallou , will not bo forgotten.
When thcso matters have boon disposed ot
tbo jurors will try aud learn if any council
man have been guilty of cither directly or In
directly furnishing material or entering Into
contracts with the city.

LINGER LINGERED LONG.
Ills Wntcli nuil Cimh AVcro Appropriated by

August Linger , a Norwegian farmer ,
lingered too long In the vicinity of Tenth
street and Capitol avenue Thursday night.
Ho was engaged In the pleasurable past I mo
of Illuking the Illos from the elephant's ears ,
and as ho had rndtop and timothy In hit
whiskers ho failed to como out n winner.

Bedford , Agnes Donnelly et al , and while h
sojourned his watch and $40 In cash wont out
Into the night They never came bacit , and
that Is whv Mr. Linger occupied the witness
his brief but eventful acquaintance wlUv
Agnes and Mr. Bedford.
The woman dually admitted to the oQlcors
that the property hnd boon stolen and by
her aid tno watch was rccovorod. Both the
defendants were held to the district court la
the sum of $300 each , and In default wont
to jail.
Evidence was Introduced to show that
Bedford was u procurer from Grand Island ,
and had sent several girls from this city to
that place for Immoral purposes. If ba
escapes conviction on the cbargo of grand
larceny , a complaint of another character
will bo tiled against him.
According to Bedford's own story ho has a
very unsavory record. Ha says that from
December , 18UO , until a short time aeo ho
was In jail In Grand Island onachargoot
Incest with hU 14-ynar-olddaughter , and that
ho was Ilnnllv released because of the disappearance
poaranco of the girl.
Bedford says that his brother was arrested
for being concerned In this spiriting away
of the witness , but nothing was proved ana
ho claims to know nothing about hli
daughter's present whereabouts.
