THE OMATIA DATLY BEE ; SUNDAY * " MARCH 20 , 1892-S1XTEEN PAGES. n THE CONDITION OF TRADE Business in a Jobbing Way Continues Very Satisfactory. A COMPARISON OF THE BANK CLEARINGS A Itrilctv of Iho .Most Important Chances of 1'rlrrn In tlio I rnll and I'm- ( Into M.irkoU-ItoiHilU of ( lie Storm. from nil sources the reports of the con& ! lion of Omaha's lobbing trade cortlnuo most favorable. All seasonable ROOUS nro moving In vrry fair volurao end no oxprcsslons.of complaint arc heard. Ills to bo doubled If nny city Jn the coun try can show such a rapid Increase lu Its Jobbing trade as that exhibited br Omaha Tbo growth has not been confined to on.j ono class of houses or to any ono line of business , but both largo nnd smnll houses ( n every line of business hnvo experienced nn unpre cedented increase In their snlcs. Ordinarily n Jobbing house feels satisfied If It can each jcnr tnako sotno llttlo gain over the previous year , but when It comes to utld- Ing from CO to OO per cent In ono jcir It U not to bo wondered nt that the Joobers foci that Omuha Is the best point In the \\oit for that kind of business. In addition to the largclv Increased sales of goods thcto has been n great Impiovcmont In collections ; w hero nj car ago retail dealers were forced to nsicfornn extension of time they nro now meeting their obligations promptly. The credit of Nebraska mer chants was ptobably uever better than It is ot present. Not only Is tlio present very gratifying In n buMncss way but the outlook Is equally pleasing. There nro still largo quantities of inrin pioduio held In the Inrmors' hands which will bo thrown upon the market later In the sprlti ! , ' and thus Ucou up the supply of money lu the count iy. If on top of tnU thcro shduld bo nnothd11 good crop tlio Job bing houses of Omnhn would not bu IQIRO enough to handle Iho business that would como to them. The prosperity of Nebraska , and the whola nest for that matter , is being commented upon \ery generally by eastern loinmeiclal nr.d financial writers , nnd the attention of business men and capitalists Is being called to this section of the country to a greater ex tent than c\nr boforo. Tlio Hank Clearings. The grand total of bank clearings ns re ported by Ihadstroot's nt fifty-one cities for February. tBlJ2HH1i ! : ! > B , is piobably the largest February acproKato of dealings ever reported. The Increase for February as compared with the like total for Ib'Jl is ill.O per cent , with Ih'JO Ills 10.1 percent nnd ns contrasted with February Ibb1) ) tun gain is 22.7 per cent. Among nine Now l npland cities showing total clearings for two months of January nnd Febiunry three , Portland , I'rovidenco and New Hodlord , show de- cicas,03 as compared with the two months' totals in 1891 , while Springlield bhows n train of nearly 20 per cent nnd Hoston of 5 per cent. Other increases were trilling. Among other cities having two months' totals for two.\CBis Kochostur shows Only u nominal gain , Buffalo 10 per cent incicuse , Svracuso abont II percent , Pittsburg about 18 per cent , Philadelphia 17.0 per cent , and New York UHy "A 9 per cent , Cincinnati 18 5 per cent , Clox eland Ifi 0 per cent , Louisville - villo 2 per cent , Chicago IU per cent , Omaha 40 per cent , Minneapolis nearly : tS per cent.

Iho Produce Market * . During the past w cole the changes In the market on country produce bavo not been very marked. In Iho way of poultry , tur- &cy ° , gcoso and ducks continue to bo in very light supply. While the demand for dressed poultty of this kind lias not boon very hoa\'y , owing to the lateness of the season , there has been so llttlo In the market that prices have boon veiy strong. Dressed chickens bavo sold quito readily nt 10c , which has been the prlco for good stock for so HIM time back. Butter tins boon coming In a little inoro freely duiIng the past few days , but cholco country roll continues to command very good prices. It is only the tops , howovar , that null direct to the lotall trade , the great bulk going to the packers , by whom it is reworKed nnd placed on the maikot ns solid packed. The ng , ; matkotbas ranged mostly between J0) ) c and lie , butnt the close of the week thcro appears to bo n little stronger fooling prevalent and the latter prlco is the most prevalent. The came market has been prottv well sup plied with ducks , while n few goaso , mostly in smnll lots , liavo arrived , A pi cat deal of very poor bay has boon of fered on the market and has been slow sale , omo of the poorest going as low as SJ 00 , \vlulo the best quality tins been scarce and has gouo ns high ns $0 00. I'rnlts nnd Vocotnlilca. California oranges have been on the up- grudo for t > omo tlmo and an udvnnco of 21)0 to COa per box has been ( .cored In California. From what can bo learned the ciop Is not likely to last very long. Ono largo house has al ready announced Unit they hnvo pacxod their last car of Ilivorbldos , the explanation being that they could not got enough good fruit to lustily ? hlmnents. In sotno markets there Is etlll remaining some of the old stock of frosted fruits. The prospect is that onions will continue to sell at moderate prices thU month and perhaps into April. The stock now nr-lving has excellent keeping qualities and this U tbo month for loj lug lu largo stocks for future - turo trado. The Htorm In the southern states during the past week Is said to have dcstioycd the early trnwberry crop. Dealers hero nro rather looking for light receipts for the balance of tbo month on this account. Advices from Ut. Ixuls say that vorr few beri Irs can bo ex pected from tbo southern states. The Mis- court and ioutuorn Illinois berries are thought to have escaped Injury. There are no eastoui apples on the market to speak of , but there are a good many small lots of western apples scattered around the country. i.ivi : STOCK .M.utiurr.s.
