"H may sound llkonchestnut to say that
I , ndo Is good , " said n Jobber , "as that Is
what we have been saying for somu months ,
but It Is a fact nevertheless. In order to
vary the monotony of the assertion we
I might sponk of trade as all that could bo ox-
I peeled , fully up to our anticipations , better
than last year nt this tlmo , or highly satis-
F'factory. . The truth remains the same , however -
over ; Omaha Jobbers are getting there In
grand shape , and they have been getting
there for some months. "
When n conservative business man gives
vent to such utterances It Is pretty , safe to
say that trade must bo good. The Jobbers ,
u yliowovcr , nro not sitting bock quietly nnd
I s taking the good things as they come , but
E'1'iey are fully nlivo to the opportunities pro-
I hL'ntcd and arctdolng all that they can to ad-
I vance Omana's'obblii ] Interests.
I Ono thing which they would all llko to sec ,
I and regarding which tbcro Is a good deal sf
I talk. Is H new dry goods Jobbing house for
I Omaha. Jobbers lu all lines of business real-
I tao that another large dry goods house would
i help to mnko Omaha a'bolter ' wholesale mnr-
I ket , nnd would lu that way bo to the advan-
I lugo of the whole Jobbing trade. Several
I Jobbers have oven gone BO far ns lo say that
I they would subscribe for largo blocks of
[ stock If the rlcbt parties would start such an
t enterprise.
| A Joibcr ) who tins given Iho subject cousld-
[ crablo attention stated that there would not
I be any trouble In raising all the money re-
L. , quired right here in Omaha , nnd that the
tir' money would bo raised and the house cslob-
f llshed If there were men with the requisite
I ability and experience to menage It.
I It ts not regarded as practical to organize
I a company and attempt to employ men to
I manage It , but what they want is some practical -
[ tical man to coir.c lo Omaha and organize tbo
I company and conduct thu business.
I That there Is a splendid Held for a largo
I dry goods bouse every Jobber In the city is
I willing to assert , and every Jobber would do
I all in bis power to encourage such a house.
I The dry goods Jobbers alreadv here would
I llko to sea another house In tbeir line , as It
k would give Omaha Just so much moro prcs-
I tlge as a dry goods market.
I The Jobbers feel that by agitating the
[ qnostlon sooner or later the right men will
I bear of the opportunity and Omaha have another -
| other wholesale dry goods house.
I llnrilwnru Trade.
| ' The trade of the past week has boon very
satisfactory In n jobbing way. Orders from
tbo country cover a well assorted line of
I needs , showing tbat merchants are putting
k- In goodtntocks and that they have conlidcnca
W. In the outlook. Prices are practically un-
r W changed , but the market is 11 rm , and whllo
[ l there may be u disposition on the part of
MM ) , manufacturers to advance values , production
P * is most too heavy to admit of Its being
r carried out. Collections are not as good as
I thuy might bo , and yet there Is no particular
I complaint from this sourco.
| Dry < i oil8.
I The movement of dry poods In a Jobbing
I way is large nnd the two Omaha houses have
I their hands about full to keep up with the
I orders. Collections are reported as very sat-
I is factory.
I In New York tbo Bulletin sayx of trade
I for the period under review , that the demand
I has not been characterized by any activity ,
I yet a larger business has been effected than
I was done lu th'o previous wcelr. There are
I these that do business in staple cottons only
I that labor under tbo impression that any ro-
I port of tno business in motion should be
I measured by what Is being done in their
I lines of goods , if not by what they only are
I doing. Tha demand for and the movement
I of printed fabrics , dross goods , shirt-
Ings , underwear , hosiery , knit goods , linings ,
I piece silks , handkerchiefs and ribbons , glnp-
I hams , llannol nnd wool dress fabrics and
I woolen roods of alt descriptions ore entirely
I overlooked. And though similar offerings to
I these they soil nave been in good request ,
I becauso'tboy have done nothing of Import-
I auco , there could have been no trade. Why
I they have done nothing Is duo to their con
| > slant prating about the slackness of the do-
I i S"mand , that bus become such apart and parcel
of their nature that a small body of pessimists
D constitute their entire clientage , as "birds of
fei ) ' * feather flock together. " The very largo
W. portion of domestic goods are sold so far In
I advance of their manufacture ttint while
the largest houses In tha trade clvo
no evidence of a demand at hand , their
Rales books show n very different order
of things. Any and all , tberoforo , who
labor under the delusion that tbcro ts no
trade doing because nf the absence of regular
demand from tbo soutb are as grossly mis
taken In such a conclusion as thuy are In the
| gravity of tbo southern commercial situation ,
I which is by no means as bad as ills pictured.
> The trade in motion Is all right , a'nd Is all
| tbat any ono should expect at this stage of
the season. As ono party puts It , "Wo are
selling last year's goods all the time , as the
' bills are dated the day of shipment , for wore *
It otherwUo the dating would bo several
months ahead. " If more sellers could appre
ciate the force of this remark there would bo
much loss growling , nnd tbo over-changing
methods of doing business and tbo largeness
< ot sales would bo recognized as very im
portant factors in tbo situation.
I < ! rncerj-Trade.
I Goods in this line continue to move fredly
i. for this season of iho year and no complaints
UV > are heard cltbor from iho Jobbers or from
Wrcountry retail dealers. Collections are keep-
f ing up lu very good shape and are fully up
I to the average.
I In Now Ynrk it Is reported that tbo action
of buyers toward bulk lots of stock Is still
I somewhat cautious , and reflects in a great
measure the experience they encounter with
their own line of custom on the distributive
outlet. It has been suggested that In many
I cases the narrowness of demand may b'o
i traced to the rather low rates ruling as tbo
I result of competition , which , being under
stood among buyers , induces thorn to stand
off for whatever additional advantages may
. accrue , and with a certain measure of
f confidence that nothing of Importance will
[ \ bo lost. Holders fr l a little at tlmos , but have
\ ! become rather used lo the condition ! prevail-
I Ing , nnd so shape matters as to feel no special
Inconvenience. Indeed , with the accumula
tions as a rule moderate , and tbo value nar-
I rowed by tbo tow rates , carrying stocks is a
I comparatively easy matter , especially as
most contrlbutivo markets , domestic or
foreign , are of u character to lend consldora-
| bio support. Spuculution is mill confined
I almost entirely to coffee. The confidence of
most holders appears to bo shown in quite a
marked degree on market for Drazilv and
I t bore are no evidences of positive anxiety to
l rcallzo. Advancing cost has n natural
fc tendency to bring out some stock on each
R succeeding fraction gained , but the offering
W i * cautious , and especially so of really llrst
[ class nirracllve goods. Uuycrs have ot late
L shown rather moro Interest as though finally
\ convinced that they wore gaining nothing by
standing off , and especially im that been
the case with some sections of Interior cuttom
I whore assortments have run low and ba-
I coino much broken.
! rruduce Marked ,
A glance at tbo reports of the local produce -
duce market will show that great changes
have taken place during the past week.
Eggs have taken a big tumble amounting
from lOj to 12c In the past week or ten days.
I Duller bis weakened und stocks do not move
i quito so rapidly as they did a short time ugo.
i On the other hand poultry has advanced
owing to tbo light supply aud prices are con-
sldorablv higher tbuu they were , on chickens
especially. There have been some other
changes but not of to great importance.

less of u factor In Iho trading than It has been

well known English statistician , had esti
mated that the wheat crou of Iho world wns

Omalm will not set n boot sugnr factory
Hits year.
Such , at toast , was iho prevailing senti
ment nmong tbo members o ( the DouRtns
County Beet Sugar association wbtcti mot
yesterday at the Hoard of Trade. The plixn ,
whoever , has not boon abandoned ; In fnct , the
prospects ot boot sugar culture In this county
nro brighter today than over ucforo.
The mooting wus hold pursuant to ad
journment ot January ! ! J , when the orannlia-
tlon of Iho association was effected , The oh-
| oct wus to hoar iho reporter committees and
sco It the way wus clear to proceed with the
organization of a company to erect n fac
tory.
In calling the mooting to order Vloo Presi
dent U , L. Miller stated that the president
wus unatilo to bo present and Imd asked him
to preside.
A communication from President Hugh ( . ? .
Ulark stated that it was Impossible for him
to accept the position to which ho had boon
elected ovvlnp to the demands uiudo on
him by his personal business.
The resignation was accepted , nud after
Dr. Miller had again declined to accent the
ofllco a committee , consisting of 11. T.
Ularko , George N. lucks and O. J. PIcUard ,
was appointoii to select a name for the con
sldurnllon of the meeting In conueotlon with
that position and report nt the afternoon
session.
Tno presiding ofllcor was called away , mid
at bis request , Major St. A. D. Hnlcombo took
the chair.
Mr. Davis Heed of West Omaha guvo the
result of his observations , uiul staled that ho
was conlldont not only that first-class
sugar boots could bo grown hero ,
bill that the farmers would gladly
avail themselves of an opportunity to furnish
all that could bo handled If a factory was
started In Omaha or vicinity.
I ) . J. O'Donohuo protested against the pro
posed repeal of the national sugar bounty by
congress' and at tils suggestion Messrs.
Hicks , Clarke , Benion , Plckara and Full-
vied were appointed a committee to prepare
a memorial urging that U bo allowed to re
main In olfcct.
Mr. Stool of the Oxnard company at Nor
folk was present and was requested to ad
dress the meeting. Ho suited that the sugar
consumed in this country last year
amounted to 1,8S.,004 tons , an In-
crcaso of 19 per cent over 1SK ! ) . He
thought this ought to provo conclusively
that those was no dancer of an overproduc
tion to glut the market as somu persons
seemed to thliilt. If 400 factories were
started they would notsufllcoto meet the
homo demand.
Mr. Steel stated privately to some
of the members of the exchange that
bis company was not petting beet enough at
Norfolk , and that was one object of his visit
hero to sco If thu Douglas county iarmors
could not DO Induced to plant a few
acres of boots as mi experiment this year ,
and the Norfolk company would take them
at regular prices as they are unublo to got
enough at homo to keep thorn running.
I.mid Coiniiilttec'H ttrport.
ChuiiA , Fob. ly , IbflJ To the President of
the Douglas County Boot Sugar association :
Your land improvement committee appointed
at your last mooting respectfully report as
follows : After Investigation wo llnd the
farmers of Douglas and Sarpy counties anxi
ous to ralso sugar boots , providing that they
feel assured that there will bo a market
where they can disuoso of the beets to advan
tage. They uro of the opinion that tbo soil of
Douglas and Sarpy counties U especially
adapted to beet culturo.
Your committee is of the opinion that , if
there was a factory located in Omaha or
vicinity , that contracts could be made with
tlio fanners of Douglas and Sarpy counties
to raise over 2,000 acres of boots during the
year 1893 at the prices named In the contracts
made by tbo Oxnard company with the
farmers in the vicinity of Norfolk.
Your committee recommend that an effort
ho made to have the farmers of Douglas
and Sarpy counties raise fiUO acres or moro
of beets during this year , even if there can
not bo a factory orcctod here in Umo 10 make
use of tbo beots. as the Norfolk Beet Sugar
company will contract to take the beats at
the same prices ns they pay tno farmers In
the vicinity of Norfolk for beets of the same
quality , and thai the company will agree
that the freight rate will not ex
ceed 80 cents per ton from points
in the vicinity of Omaha to Norfolk.
They further agree to rout-to parties who
may contract witu them the necessary Im-
plcmonU such as beet seeds , cultivators and
pullers , and will furnish tbo host Imported
Herman or French bcot , seed at ID cents per
pound.
They also acrree to bavo an agriculturist In
their employ visit Douglas and Haroy coun
ties and give all necessary information re
lative to the matter of beet culture frco of
charge.
Your committee have had a conference
with the railroad ofllcinls ana hope to bo able
to secure a freight rate that will cuaDlo them
to guarantee that the freight rate shall not
exceed 50 cents per ton from points in Doug
las and Sarpy counties to Norfolk. Respect

From the Knrtory Committee.
OMAHA , Fob. li. ! To the President of the
Douglas County Uuot Sugar Association :
The factory committee appointed by your
association at its last mooting respectfully
report as follows :
After conferring with Mr. Oxnard ana
other parties who have had experience In the
building and equipping of boot sugar fac
tories wo are of tno opinion that it would bo
simply Impossible to erect a factory in tlmo
to matca use of tha boots raised In loticIa ; < >
county durintr the year 1692 , as It would require
quire at least n year to build a factory and
not the mnchlnerv In successful operation.
Wo are negotiating with several parties with
iho purpose in view of having their aid In
tbo building and equipping of a boot sugar
factory hero so as to bavo tup some In readi
ness to inako use of the crop of Ibji3.
Wo recommend that an effort be made
to have n largo number of the farmers in
Douglas , Sarpy and Washington counties
ratio from throe to live ncr s of boots each
this year , so that tbo ; will become familiar
with tbo methods of culture that arc neces
sary In order to make the raising of boots a
success , and for the further reason that It iff
almost impossible to get capitalists to Invest
money In erecting boot sugar factories until
they know that tbo soil Is well adapted for
beet culture , and that the farmers are willing
to raise tbo beets after intelligent ex perl-
men t.
MKroin remarks made by Mr. Oxnard during
the conference wo are of the opinion that bis
company will not build any moro factories
in this state until ttio legislature re
stores a bounty , payable oltbor to the
manufacturer or to the producer , or both ,
iMr. Oxnard claims that at tbo present
rice of sugar an investment In a boot sugar
actory does not pay as larce an Investment
as other factories , on account of the limited
tlmo in which thu factory can bo operated ,
and Is of the opinion that tbo restoration of a
bounty , with the Increased price they could
then pay for beets , would put the business on
such a bails that it would bo a financial BUG-
cess.
cess.Your committee further recommend that
this association , through its proixir ofllcors ,
request Governor Hoyd , in case be calls n
special session of the togUlaturo , to incor
porate In bit proclamation , aiono of thu matters -
tors for the legislature to consider , tbo
restoration of a bounty on beet sugar ,
For your further information would tate
that your committee uro of the opinion that
fifteen acres of laud would bo required
for a factory and switching yards ,
and would recommend that parties who have
lands lu and adjacent to Omaha ba nsked to
make such lender of samn as thuy muy think
desirable , conditioned upon tbo factory being
located thereon.
For your further Information would state
that Mr , Henry T , Oxnard Is favorably im
pressed with this city an u desirable point at
which to locate a beet ati ar factory for
inauy reasons , one ot which Is the unlimited
mount of help that can bo soourod nt the
tlmo when It would bo needed for the proper
culture of Iho beets. Koipoctfully sub

TiicyTnlkeil It Over.
SccMtary W. N. Nnson of Iho Hoard of
Trade inndo a few remarks at the opening of
Iho afternoon session. Ho snld ho wns en
thusiastically In favor of the culture of the
sugar boot , aud ho believed that the tlmo
was rlpo for beclnnlnff Iho Industry on u big
scale In this county.
Mr. Kullrlcd snld ho thought that the tlmo
was at bund when loss land should bo culti
vated and bo made to yield the same returni ) .
itobollovod that the perplexing question ot
variety nnd multiplicity of crop * that has
bothered the small farmer will now b
porniniiontly solved by the opening of sugar
baot culturo. Ho was strongly In favor of a
factory lu this vicinity.
Mr. Illbbard of Irvlngton , was skeptical
regarding the amount ot uionoy to bo made
from sugar bcot culture , and said ho would
stick to his old methods until ho saw some
thing bo'ttor than sugar boots nt present
prices.
D. J , O'Donnhoo said he was opposed to
any tia up with thu Oxnnrd company , which
sooins to have n monopoly on the boot sugar
business of the stale. Ho thought the com
mittee In charge had made n mistake In not
confining Its llrst work to thoao who are In
favor of sugar boot culture instead of Involv
ing opposition nt the outset.
Henry T. Clnrko made a speech tu favor of
the enterprise. , but thought no factory should
bo orcctrd until the farmers gave nssurnnc
that enough boots would bo furnished lo
make It n success. Ho believed that th
OxiiAfd company had done a great deal for
the state nnd was ontttlod to credit , still h
did not think It should bo considered to 111 *
exclusion ot others. Ho favored both na
tional nnd stnto bounties to induce farmers
to grow sugar boots that factories might b
successfully operated.
This threw no light on what was to bo done
and Joe lied man stated that there xooinod to
bo plenty ot farmers present , and tlio sontt-
nient was In favor of raising ucuts. Ho
wanted to know what the capitalists were
willing 10 do.
Mr. Clarka said that ha would guarantee
tbo factory if the farmers would gunrnuloe
the beots.
A soil tiller nt onoe replied that the fnrrn-
ors would guarantee the boots if the capital
ists would gunriinloo iho factory , und there
the matter wa * allowed to rest.
Mr.Vhitniore of Valley Indulged himself
nnd the nudlcnco In n spicy roast
of these who repealed the sugar
bounty law In the lust legisla
ture , aud of Iho representatives In congress
who nro now endeavoring to secure a repeal
of iho national bounty , but ho did not think
that the legislature that repealed Iho law
would restore it , and ho thought U was useless
loss to ask iho Incoruorullon of anything of
the kind in case Governor Hoyd called
special session.
Settled tlio Itouiity Ulli.-stlon.
Mr. Illbbard did not behove that onouch
boots had been raised on an acre In Uouglai
county to pay n good return , and llnally
tried conclusions with Mr. Fullrlod retard
ing some beets ralsod oy the lattur last year.
The chairman's ( ravel tlnnlly called the dls-
putants to order , and Mr. Hoggs was recog
nizer ) . Ho wauled some limit placed on the
bounty in case it was restored.
A Mr. Clarke Insisted that the legislature
was unfavorable to the Oxnnrds at the last
session , and ho thought the question should
be loll entirely to the legislature , as it would
crant little enough in any event.
Mr. Walsh said that there was not tbo
ghost of n show that the legislature would
restore the bounty , but that the question
would comn up bcforo the next logiblaturo ,
which would bo elected on that Issue , Ha
wanted the manufacturer to get half a cent a
pound on the sugar , aud the farmer ? l a tenon
on Iho boots.
Allen Hoot wanted the bounty for the
manufacturer stricken out. Ho said tbo bcot
question was purely a labor question , as Iho
frccborn American citizen would never con
sent to llvo as close to the ground as It was
necessary to do to ralso beets , and the natur
alized citizen would do it only for ono gen
eration.
The original motion bobbed up nnd was
carried with very slight opposition.
Mr. W. S. Smith , formerly of Iho Norfolk
factory and now a monibor of the association
committee nn factories , said ho thought that
if outside capitalists would take half of the
stock the balance could bo raised In Omaha.
Ho wns of thu opinion that if Iho farmers
would at cm en guarantee 2,000 or 8,000 acres
iho ncoossory cauitnl could bo ralsod Inside
of fifteen days to erect a factory and have it
in operation in time to handle the crop of
Ib'ftJ. Ho called attention to the fact that
the SoOO.UOO Invested in a plant would be
absolutely useless if the farmers combined
against It and would not furnish boots and It
was to bo supposed that on that account any
company would insist on u guaranteed sup
ply.Mr.
Mr. Steel stated that the average beet crop
wns llftcon tons per acre , and Air. Uklund of
Valley told what ho know about raising Loots
In the old country.
Thu coin.i Jtteo appointed at the morning
session reported in favor of Dan A. Farrell ,
jr. , for president , The report was adopted
and Mr. Farrell took the chair.
On motion of Allen Hoot , the committee
was instructed to draw up a blank contract
to provldo that Iho test to determine the
polarization of the boots supplied by u farmer
lo Iho company should bo made by a chemist
not In tbo interest of either party.
The meeting adjourned without fixing a
tlmo for tbo next meeting.
