The local jobbing trndo of Omaha continues
In n most satisfactory condition nnd tn
volume much lu excess of last jcnr. The
movement of country produce Is not so heavy
as It was nnd that fact would tend to restrict
the amount of money In circulation In the
country nnd hence reduce somewhat the de
mands for goods. Tbo existence ol these con
ditions inuy reduce the volume of trade In
tome Instances but not enouch to produce
any appreciable change In Iho Jooblng busi
ness ns a wholo.
It U said lint the trade In dry goods and
boots and shoes is especially good at tbo
present time.
In commenting on the dry poods trade the
New york Hullotln observes that the con
ditions nffcctlne the dry goods trade during
the llrst quarter of this year hnvo been un
usual. The grain crowing sections of the
country have been realizing the benefits of
exceedingly large crops , for wblch a good
innrUet existed. The cotton producing states
hnvo Leon laboring under tbo Influence of u
largo yield , but abnormally low prices. The
buying powers of the latter section have been
ncces unlv reduced , whilst the demand com
ing from 'the former has relli-cted more or
less Improved Iluonclal conditions. Besides
these factors the Iron working s > cctlor.s have
Been busily employed , nnd the earnings of
the masses tmvo more than offset the low
prices received by iho manufacturers. Tbo
consumptive demand over the whole country
has. In all probability , under these conditions
made considerable progress : the reduction in
the south being more thau counterbalanced
by the increase elsewhere.
The Hulletm fu.-tbcrnioro adds that in one
Important respect the business of the quar
ter beam dccidcdlv favorable comparison
with u year ago. The financial conditions
have improved all round. Then the country
was emerging from a period of monetary
strincency , payments were irregular nnd
overdue accounts an unwelcome feature.
This year money has been plentiful , accom
modation easy and collections prompt and
regular. Even in the south , where condi
tion * warranted expectations of deferred
payments on u largo scale , there is coinpar-
ullvely limited overdue indebtedness. Hero
again h proof of a laudable change In
buyers' methods ; they have accommodated
their purchase } more closely to tbolr
octual requirements , stripping them of
nil appearance of speculative busi
ness. So far as tbo south U
concerned , this has in some degree been com
pulsory , there oclng an Indisposition to ex
tend credit as generally as usual. The list of
failures for the three months corroborates
those Malcmcnts and shows that they are
not peculiar to dry goods only. Bradstreet's
returns thn total number of failures for the
quarter at 3,207 , against 3-U'l , ' last year , with
total liabilities of 15,301,000 , ugninst ! , -
348,000 , of which the southern states fur
nished ( . 'JO , against TO ) , and liabilities of
10,500,000 , against $ SoO.,000 last year.
Manufacturers llnny.
Ono of the most gratifying signs of the re
newed prosperity in Nebraska is the activity
mcvailing in most lines of manufacture.
\Vhilo much of this is duo to the homo
patronage campaign so successfully
( ferried on , It is none the loss
riatifying. Manufacturers who were a tear
ago com plaining about the difllcully of get-
tine their goods before the people are now
complaining about the difticulty of keening
up with their orders. The signs of prosper
ity among tbo manufacturers are many.
Some hare moved into now and larger
buildings , others have added to their
old quarters , and still others have
added to tbo number of their employes with
out being forced to move. Take for example
the overall business. The three factories in
Omaha have , since a year ego , been adding
rapidly to their working force , and two of
them huvc been forced to movn Into now and
larger buildings. In spite of the rapia In
crease in their plants they are all rushed to
keep up with orders. Meanwhile another
factory in the same line has been started ,
nnd instead of requiring several years to
pot a foothold , it starts out as a largo cstao-
llshmcnt from the very outset , with a de
mand for all tbo goods that it can turn out.
It is not to bo oxpoctea that every line of
manufacture could bo qulto BO prosporous.
The month of March and the early part of
April has as usual been a dull period for the
cigar manufacturers. 'I hey expect some im
provement in their line with tbo coming of
warmer weather , but it is au unfortunate
fact that the smokers of Omaha bavo not
been very deeply inl'ucnccd by the homo
patronage movement and a great many busi
ness men ate still sending their money out ol
tno city for cigars.
Country Produce.
The market in produce has been bare of
nnv loiDortaut features for a week back. Tbo
butter maruol has been easier owing to in
creased receipts , eggs about steady and poul
try scarce ana soiling at about last week's
prices. _

The St. Mary's Aveuuo Congregational
church , since the resignation of Hov.Villard
Scott , has boon making strenuous efforts to
llnd a man capable of filling the place va
cated by its former pastor. At ono time It
; vas supposed that such a man bad been se
cured la tno person of Kav. H. A.Varneia
of Brockton , Mass. , nncr * a call was accord
ingly extended , but the pressure on Rev.
Wurllold by bis ovva people was so | great bo
declined to accept. "
The next man to find favor In the eyes of
the good peoplb of the St. Mary's Avenue
church was Rev. S. "Wricht Butler of Port
Chester. N. Y. A call both ontbusiastlc and
unanimous was extended nnd Rov. Butler
signified his willingness to accept , but his
people now arise and with one voice say be
shill not leave them. At a meeting called to
accept his resignation a committee was ap
pointed to communicate with tbo St. Mary's
Avenue church and request the release of its
'paster-elect ' and allow him to remain m bis
present Held of labor and tli2 following reso
lution waa adoptou :
Whereas , Wo desire to hear testimony to the
/eal , devotion and eloquence of the Kov. S
Wrlitht llutler , our uahtor. etc. , and
Whereas , \\ebolleve that this crisis In our
church's history domunds piompt acth/n , etc. .
therefore bo It
Kcsol\od. That a committee of live wait
upon anil urge on our pastor our sincere be
lief Unit his reslcnat'on will result In great
lositooui chutchuul tills community , and
HcsohiMl , further that we raise bib salary
tot 1,000 , etc.
Immediately following the adoption of this
resolution tha iucreaso of salary was pledged
and every effort is now being made to induce
the Rev. Butler to reconsider his determina
tion to remove to Omaha. Tbo people of tbo
St. Mary's avenue cnurch are still confident
that Mr. Butler will stand by his ncceptanre
nnd bo In Omaha for the first Sunday in
May.
Comment on Clarence.
A bureau of press clippings in London
has rocelvcd the royal "command" to
furnish twenty distinct sets of news
paper cuttings from every periodical in
the world , so fur asobtulnublo , referring
to the death of Prince Albert Victor.
The sots lire to ha pasted each in a sep
arate album. Tlio section devoted to
American clippings should make a very
edifying collection , if the bureau is
faithful in obeying the command.

CHICAGO , III. , April ft A bolder clungo was
probably never witnessed In the Chicago
xxhcat trade than that made by Kdxxard
Pardridgo today. Last night , with estimated
short sales ot 13,003,0.0 bu. chalked up against
him , xxlth the quotations shooting skyxvard
and xvlth every jii'iip In the prlco meaning a
personal loss ofIOJOo3. the odd llttlo speculator
later xviis bollcxod to be re idy to throw up
his hands In despair , Tonight oil was
changed , Purdrldgo was again a conqueror
A regiment of brokers al his orders had
dashed Into the pit at the very oulsol of
thu day and foucht his enemies to u stand
still , Ileforo the day ended ho pulled down
the prlco 01 or So a bushel from thu highest
point reached. The close was xx Ithln ' c ot Ihn
lowest prlco of the day. Pardrldge In person
was on the lloor bright and early , The gal
leries and pits were crowded to gulTooatlon In
expectation of seeing a cyclone when , lo-ilni
his nerve , ho should attempt to buy Instead ot
sclllii ! : . The noted plunger xvas h isllly rush-
ItiK fiom ono fricnJ to aiuthcr and mnklnz
Ins remarks Jolioy and oniph ulc , but tn.it
xx as all thu emotion ho displayed.
Ho were a natty black frock coat , light
trousers and a small black dnrby jiiuntlly
perched on Iho Inok of his head gave him a
erlsp. business air. Ills keen gray eves were
fully alive to xxhalvvas going on Now and
then his friends would eagerly swarm around
him to ask how things xrero going , but Pard-
ildgoxxus too bu y ritslilnit from pit to pit to
talk xxlth them long , and would vouchsafe n
few hurried wnrds and tear himself axvny. Ho
denied that ho had lost or would lose any
thing and declared : When I lose , 1 lose for
keeps , but 1 am not xvorrylne about loss just
noxxI I am feelliiL- all rU'lit , " and with that
ho again dove for tha pll. \\licn appioachcd
al another opportunity ho emphatically as
serted thai nothing would drive him to cover
un'oss ' the market xxent to Jl u bnshul.
The ( lav's trade Mas spaMiiodlc , and on the
xvholo not HS heavy as yesterday. At times
tlio nrirkct vxas very cxcltinz. at otliors quiet.
1'luctuatlons were rapid and violent and the
feeling wus very unsettled , The opening xxas
the xvlldest for some lime , and prices varied
1'aO within the Ursi fexx seconds In different
ptirts of the crowd , sales bcliu made at from
'ac to 1'Je over the closing figures yesterday.
Hull news was plentiful , and but for Pard-
dr.dgeS bold tacllcs xvo'jld have hallmarked
effect , for bear advices xrero source. Cables
xxcro decidedly firm , Liverpool being quoted
from Id to ljii ! higher and London from Od to
lud higher , All domestic markets wore on a
ramnago and made a big spurt ut the
start , ana most of them held xxoll to
the ndx-ance. hi. Louis wis : a possi
ble exception. xrhllo starting higher ,
It finally wentofT on May lo 'Jo beloxv last
nlcht's close. The trade then seemed to be
drifting more Into Jul v and the bad crop re
ports xvcro having u good deal of Influence , as
xvhilo May xtns loxxor July xvas decidedly
lilghur. A telegram from Kansas City gave
the Information that the stuto agricultural
department ot Missouri put the condition of
the crop In that state uttoO per cent , a heavy
decrease from the outlook In December last ,
fct. Louis , however , reported thut up to 11
o'clock nothing lud been hoard of the report
there except In dlspitohes from Chicago.
\ \ holly aside from Pnidrldgc. the nexxs of llko
character kept the miuket nerx-ons and ex
cited.
A story was stirtod that Werst , who had
Iraxoled exlenslvely oxer Iho winter xxheat
country , estimated the average condition at
71 per cent. Wort himself denied this , butin-
cftectually. Pardrldgo meanvxhllo , far from
showlnp evidence of weaUenlnir. xvas bustling
about denouncing the scare as Idiotic and had
bis brokers selling Incessantly. The price did
not appear to make any difference , und
from his actions one \vould think ho
deemed that it did not seem to make
much difference as all soots seemed good sell
ing soots for him. There was a good deal of
reall/lni : on long wheat , but these offerings
vith those by ParJndgo xvero readily absorbed
and there were few xxoakspots. Cold xxeathcr
was reported In the xx Inter xxheat country
nnd this helped to give the market quite a lit
tle boo n. a ho bulk of the sales at the openIng -
Ing xxero at 8Sltc. The market wenl off lo h4e
on Pardridge's selling , then up to bjc. held for
a cons deruble time at SlJic. then Hear noon
shot up to 85 c. Hut the demand then fell
olT and the urlco went to 8iyo and at 12
o'cloclc xraa about 81ic against B4 ? c at the
close yesterday.
After the noon hour the market began to
weaken. The shoru seemed lo bo xxoll
covered and Iho moment the buying came lo
a halt the bears took fresh courage and began
to sell. Ttioro seamed to bo no ono xvlth
courage enough to extend any support and
Pardrldue continued tils slugging tautlcs ami
when thu break started longs began to unlo u.
May vxent off quickly to wye , reacted some
and nil o'clock xvas8.l , ' c. Then some operators
bccamo very bold , declaring that the
Uodgo estimate on v/lieat condition will
bo 8.1 per tent lo 85 per cent or better. Tills
xxas followed by sncli selling as caused many
to bellnvo ilhal some houses had Inside in
formation from Washington. At any rate ,
tdo Dodge purzlo xvas too uncertain to hold
xxlieal ualnst and general Belling put the
May prlco Doff tosi'jo bid , al the close or 1'iC
under Iho close last night on the regular ses
sion , which was 2u under the later curb prices.
It was reported that Geor/o Ilaynos , who
traded In H nmill wuv , had failed. The bears
remarked tint the bulls xvent gunning for
Purdrldge , and caught llaynes. A Pardrlclju
broker retorted that this XMIH bettor than
thev usually did. as they have been gunning
for Pardrldge und caught Iho deuce.
The corn m trkct xvas not sympathizing to
any great extent xx lib the advance In xvhc it al
the opening but xvas In full ac.-ord with It on
the decline. The highest prlco of thu day was
only 'gC above the closing prlco of the day be
fore , and Its resting place today xvas at a do-
cllne of I'.iO. May oponeJ at 413.c und louche j
4l"io , sold off to 4UiiO and closed nt 4'j'ic bid
There was both jeall/lngs olT lung con. and
selling .short , Pardrldgo was a free seller of
July and Cudahy of May.
Outs xvoro active and shot up to 30 > , c for
May on a rush of shorts to cover , but the close
at ' "JUc xvas Uc under lasl nlghl's closing.
Thu provision trade was dull and the mar
ket heavy. Outside Interest , vxhlct. yester
day was giving some Mzns of reaxxakenliu ,
was again consuleuouily absent and lacking
that feature. The crowd Is bearish. 1'ork
made Us best prlco at the opening and recov

the published i coords of daily bond transac

the falling oil In the activity of Invest

for suvcral wee s by slowly declining
prices. April 1 was reasonably sure to
mark the turn , as the January disbursements
sl.'n.ihzed thu reappearance of Imesiors In

ARE ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT.
Union Taclllc OlllclulK Kipcctlnp ; the Annual
Change In .Maimci'incnt.
The big once ) building at the foot of Far-
nain strcot is filled with doubt ana expect
ancy , all because of the rumors of a change
in the management of the Union Pacific.
The annual meotlnp of the stockholders will
bo bold April 27. and rival factions are ma
neuvering to secure control of the corpora-
tion. It is the field against Jay Gould.
Wall street has reported the wizzard to bo
closing out his holding of Union Pacific
stock , from wblch it was inferred that ho
intended to rolinquisb the control of his own
motion , but Ueofgo Gould denies the truth
of that report.
The Vandorollts have been gatheilng in
stock during the past year , ana a late rumor
has it that they are back of a movement to
secure control of the Union Pacific and oper
ate it in the interest of tbo Northwestern.
Tha foiolgn stockholders are dissatisfied
with the orosont management nnd are ready
to give proxies to any puny that can over
throw Gould. The Amos and the Drexcl &
Morgan interests are saiu to bo united in the
IlL'ht against Gould , and Frederick L. Ames
of Boston is mentioned as their candidate for
president.
These conflicting rumors are agitating
Omaha officials , because n change in manage
ment will cause several gentlemen to lose
their beads , which in turn will affect minor
employes.
It Is assumed in certain quarters that if
Gould continues in control J. S. Leeds will
succeed C. S. Mellon as amoral traOlc man
ager , but that otborwiso tbo honors ana
emoluments will fall to Gunoral FroiRbt
Agent Munroe. On this point a prominent
official , who for years has boon brought into
mtimato relations witn General Manager
Clark , sajs :
"It is a mistake to say that Mr. Leeds is a
pet "of Mr. Gould. When ho was trade
manager of tbc Missouri Pacific he placed
Mr. Gould In n very embarrassing position ,
and that gentleman has no further use lor
him. Why , if ho was a favorite of Mr.
Gould , was ho not provided with a place
oa ono of the other Gould lines !
No , sir ; it is known In Missouri Pacilic
circles that no is not in favor with Mr.
Gould. The chances are that Mr. Munroo
will bo made truplc and freight manager ,
just as has been intimated tn Tun BUB , and
tLal the freight und passenger departments
will bo divorced. Mr. Gould is not roivura-
lug pots. "
Mr. Leeds is actinc as fieight commis
sioner of tbo mercnants'nnd manufacturers1
bureau of San Francisco , and is reported to
bo getting a salary of $ JJOOJ or fij.UOo. Mr.
Mcllon's salary is said to have DC on Jl.'i.UOU.
About tlio Jlrldgo roll
"Tbo newspapers and Jobbers ought to letup
up on tbelr criticism of tbo Union Pacific
for tbo failure to absorb tbo bndgo toll on
shipments into Iowa , " said an official of the
freight department of that road. "Tho
Union P&clllc bas nothing to do with these
rates and tbo Iowa lines are alone to blame.
Under tboir lease of the bildeotbo Uock
Island and tbo Milwaukco have every right
on the bridge that absolute ownership would
give. They handle their own freight to ana
from Omaha and nniko tbolr own rates.
Tboy can add or absorb thn bridge toll ana
tno Union Pacific has notnlng to do with
their action. The Burlington and the North
western have their own bridircs at Platts-
mouth and Blair and of course do ns they
please about the toll , The only Iowa busi
ness handled by our road is wbat goes out
over tbo Wabash and that is very llttlo.
"Tbo Union J'acllio has been the friend-of
Omaha in tbis matter and ought to
have credit for what it has
done. Years ago it reach oj an
agreement with tbo Iowa line : to make Coun
cil Bluffs and Omaha common Missouri river
points. The two cities were to bavo too same
rate on shipments either lu or out. After
ward the Iowa lines went back on that agieo-
moot so mr as shipments from Omaha to in
terior Iowa points were concerned , nnd re
fused to absorb tbo undpo toll. The present
situation Is the result of that breach of faith.
On shipments to Mississippi river points aud
the east that old agreement mill boUU food ,
and tbo bridge toll Is absorbed by the lomt
Hues.
"Hero , to my mind , Is n clear violation of
the spirit of tbo interstate commerce act.
For example , on n shipment from Omaha to
Davenport tno bridge toll is absorbed. On
shipments to otoer i olnts in Jowa over the
sumo line , in the same direction and under
substantially tbo same conditions the bridge
toll is added. It might pay the commercial
association to investigate this puass of the
quoniion , wblch seems to have been over-
loomed. At .any rate , the Union Pacilic
should not bo continually 'roasted' for not
abrogating a charge over which it has no
control. "
