THE OMAHA DAILY BEE ; SUNDAY. "APRIL TO , ISM-TWENTY PAGES. THE CONDITION OF TRADE The Jobbing Trade of Omaha Good in a General Way. A FEYLINES / ESPECIALLY ACTIVE Jinny of tlip l.ornl .Mnnnfactiirrm Pinhril to lOrpUp with Onlcrs Some llnxc ' " ' llccn I'orrril to V' Their TrnvlliiB 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. _ LIVK MAUICKTS.

SCOTT'S StJCCESSOB. .St. Mnrj'n A\cnue Coiireratloniil ( ( Not Yet Sure or Hot. fe. Wright lititlcr. 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.

The following list Is the cloMiu iiuotatlons on thu .Mlnlnc c\- cn.iiiRO today , .tles 10,1.0. 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.
