THE CONDITION OF TRADE
A Little Sunshine Wanted to Brighten Up
the Situation.
r
VOLUME OF TRADE UP TO LAST SEASON
III n Hot ill Way Depends Almost
Entirely Upon tlio Number of I'cuplo
\\ho Are ItoorlvliiK Steady
Kmpliij inrnt.
Huslncss for several weeks past has boon
under n cloud , not llRUrativcly but literally ,
and It has been n most disagreeable , damp
nnd depressing cloud. Its olToctlias been to
mnlio men wait , hesitate beforenctlui , ' , then
unit ngaln In the hope that tha cloud would
roll by and that thuy would ihcn bo nblo to
ice their wny clear before taklnir any notion.
As often as thu sun tins been able to force
Its way through the clouds , business has
immediately put on n mote cheerful aspect ,
but unfortunately the periods of sunshine
have been altogether too brief.
How much more of this cold nnd rainy
weather no can have and still prow n corn
crop , It is hard to Bay. Seme say lhat
seasonable weather must utrlvo within the
r.extlwovcoKs , or Nebraska will haven
ihort ciop. However this may be , the
mason Is certainly very late , nnd this fact
necessarily has u dcpiossing effect upon
busmo's In general. It was pointed out a
WCOK ago , and Urn same holds good loday ,
that It is no easy mutter1 for n Jobber to sell
goods when n retailer has no business , unless
It bo at a tlmo when orders nro being placed
In anticipation of a bolter domntid coming in
the near futuro.Vllh over } thing under
water and an almost continuous downpour
of rain , coupled with a feeling that thu
EctiEon is already backward nnd farm work
behind , thcio has been nothing In sight to
Induce retailers to anticipate Ihotr Immediate
wants In ordering goods.
A few days of pleasant weather , however ,
goes n long WMV toward iustorli.tr conlidonco
ns evidenced by the largely Increased ordcw
icceivcd by the Jobbers during the briuf
bpcll of pleasant weather.
As the season is so fur advanced ami farm
woik already behind , the artivul of pleasant
weather will doubtless i > co farmers at work
In the lields , where they are likely to remain
until the crops nio all In Iho ground. Horco
Jobbers nru not looking for any great boom ,
bul they do anticipate a good , steady demand
for goods.
It is qul'o likclv that money in the country
districts Is none lee plcn y just ill pic-out.
'I ho condition of the country roads has boon
Biich that fanners have been unable to haul
their surnlus to markelanu turn It Into cash.
The produce , however , Is thcro and while it
may not bo immcdiutaly available for the
piu poses of trade it is nevertheless a * good
as gold.
Alter all the draw backs that have been ex
perienced it is somewhat remarkable , but a
lect the some , that many of the jobbers re
port tholr business al mo present time ns
hill } up to lastcar. H will bo reniemooied
that at this tlmo last year business wus gon-
ouilly ropoitod usoiv satisfactory It would
seem that Omaha jobbeis , are caitilng ground
in the west. In other words , they ap
pear to bo crowding out their com
petitors from other uolnts. The fact
thai Omaha's jobbing houses uio largo and
active and mo meeting the wuntsofthc
tiado at every noint is telling strongly In
favor of the jobbing trade of this cit } , Then ,
lee , Omaha has been taking a very large
ninount of the output of Nebraska fuctoiles
nnd thut has natuiallv made the merchants
of the state fe-el fiicndly toward Omaha and
Omaha's jobbers.
Taken all iu nil the situation ns concerns
the Jobbing trade is l y no means discout-
nping , but on Iho contrary the piospect is
very blight , nnd nil that U necessary to make
the present bright is a llttlo sunshino.
Th Itctlill Trade
of the cily has suffered oven moro than Iho
jobbing irude fiom Iho stormy wealher.
Nolhvvilhslnndlne thut Omaha is a well
paved eity and hence shoulu bo tolerably free
from mud , it seems to bo impossible
to got , any considerable number of
people "out shopping" during Inclement
\vealher. The question naturally suggests ,
itself as to whether Ihe retail Irado ot the
city will bo nil that can uo desired , even
with the coming of good weath'-r. This depends
ponds ui on the conditions prevailing in the
labor ranks. If labor Is well employed , ar.d
If thoio are uo idle people Iu the city ,
tlicio is no reason why trade should
not bo gocd In a retail wny. Unfortunately
there Is a uitr "If" In the way und it is one
that Is not easily reasoned away. There are
more people ut work in the city by sovcial
hundred than thoio were lust fall but it
must bo rcmcinbeicd that the retail trade
last fall was generally reported ns unsatis
factory.
The question Is whether the additional
people who have found work in the city nro
u buftlcicnlly numerous body to overcome the
dullness of last summer and fall. U is to bu
Hoped that the nfllrmatlvc is the correct
unswor to iho question and that the coming
of good weather will i > eo a lapid luvival of
trade among the lotnilors.
If this does not piova to bo the case the
only thing that Iho retailers can do is to
throw their Influence in n direction that will
inalto work for more people , und that is
really the only menus by which trade can bo
stimulated. Dicroaio In the city many in
dustries that can bo stimulated to a point
which will necessitate the employn.ont of
moro labor If the retailers will crouto n
KUfllcient demand for their goods , which
they can easily do. The assurance
that the ictnil trade would handle cartnln
lilies of gcodi would induce parties to com
mence their inanufucturu in thu city. It has
been estimated tkat u thousand moio men nt
work In this city , In addition to those already -
ready employed , would give a decided impe
tus lo buslnojs In nil lines.
Tlio I'roducc 'Market.
The receipts of produce have not been so
very licuvv , tiiKon 1,3 a whole , and prices gen
erally have been fairly well maintained.
Poultry , however , has furnished nil excep
tion to this rule as the receipts have been
larger and prices lower In spite of the fact
that thn city U full of strangers nnd that the
demand should be larger than usual.
Prices on eggs have buon fully maintained
with a tendency upward.
The butter muihot so for as country roll is
concerned has been low. The fact U that
the amount of really good country butter ar
riving is extremely small , thut la butter good
enough for the retail trade , A great deal of
the country roll comes In bad shape , mussed
up to an oxlo.it that precludes In sale to the
city trade oven if tbo actual quality of the
goods Is all right.
Htrnw berries came in moro freely during
the early part of the week and the market
bioko , bul at thu same time there have been
few days on which there were enough ber
ries on the market to supply the demand , A
good many orders from thooutbldo have gene
uullllod.

It i nrely fulls to the lot of the reviewer
to notlco bo oxhttustivo a work as the
"World's Fair Souvenir , " which has
been compiled with so much c.iro by a
former resident of Omaha , 'John D.
Jones. For purposes of reference , of
comparison and for general information
the work is a magnificent reflex of the
push and energy of n city that is the won
der of the world.
In its compilation expense has not
been thought of , and the richness of its
illustrations of the World's fuir build
ings , cuts of the mon and women who are
directing to a succcsslul issue what bids
fair to bo the greatest exposition of ancient -
ciont or modern times , pictures
of the colossal business blocks that
stand as monuments to the enterprise of
their owners and builders , is typical of
the "Chicago gait , " as the rush and
bustle of the great city by the inland sea
Ims been described.
The book has been arranged upon a
most comprehensive plan , the object of
the publisher being to give , a complex
icsuino of what may bo seen in Chicago
in 18)8 ! ) , and at the same time civo the
information in a compact form , so that
the work may bo a valuable adjunct to
the library and reading room. Its uso-
ulnoss will not end with the close of
the exposition , but on the contrary will
grow in value with ye irs , for it is the
most perfect compendium yet issued of
an event which cannot fail to huvo an
inlluonco for many decodes to come upon
all lines of art , literature nnd com
merce. A Mr. Jones says in the intro-
uuctlon to the work : "As an educator
this event will leave its impress upon
succeeding generations and boar fruit in
all realms of human thought , ingenuity
and pi ogress. "
In addition to its complete epitome of
what lias been done , is doing and will bo
done when the fair opens , it comes to
the general public ut a most opportune
litno. It brings before the American
people the forces that are actively at
work to make the exposition a success
worthy of a nation that in a little ovora
century has , from nothing , huildod the
mightiest republic of earth. It not only
gives full page art typo illustrations and
descriptions of the principal buildings
of previous world's fairs and all the
buildings of the present World's Colum
bian Exposition , together with portraits
nnd biographical sketches of its
ofiicors and chiefs of departments ,
hut it tolls "How to Roach the
Fair , " gives descriptions of Cnlca-
go'ri parks nnd boulevards , its places o
amusement , the wholesale and jobbing
interests , its railroad facilities , and in
general is the most complete guide book
to tlio city that stands at the edge of
Lnko Michigan.

on tlio Mdo.
In view of the fact that every 0110 1ms boon
complaining iibout the wi'Ather for the past
sovoinl weeks It may sound n good donl llko
" .i eliustnut' to say anything further on that
subject , how over , fairly pleasant weather !
ono of the essentials for an acluo real citato
tnarkoU It is therefore haully necessary to
add lhat during iho past week no yen great
amount of business hiw boon tiansnclcd In
real iitato circles.
Something , however , h.is been nrcom-
pllsheil , and if It were pusslblo to gather In
all that has beun to.illy dona the showing
would by no means ben discredit to the city.
Ouo good f'-uturo connected with the busi
ness at prosout is lhat n good many lots mo
being piicliubi'd hy people who will build
homes lor themselves during tlio summer.
l'ro in proiont ImllcitioiiH there will ho n
good deal of homo building in Omaha this
season and accordingly fairly stoody employ
ment fora good number of mechanics.
At tno same tlmo with the demand for
piopeity for homos thoru Is springing up a
speculative business whiuh ptomlses , to lu-
ctease rapidly as the season advances , and as
It bcvomcs moio npputcnt that Omaha Is Just
outoilng upon n period ol groit prospcilly.
With the liumovcmunl of business In gen
eral , with building opciullons fairly under
way ami with some of iho large schemes ,
now being talked up , realized ( theru will
cniuo n speculative buying of leal estate
thai will sui piss anything oxpeitonccd Iu
the citv for several \cars.
What n Urntur S.ijH.
Mr.V. . H Crary , ono of the most aotlvu
and uggiessivo of the leal cstato men of tha
eitx , has his own Idea of the future ot
Omaha. Ho says : "MoU people mo tolcn
ably familiar with Iho spasmodic effort *
made b > piofossional boomers to coinluco
the world lhat there Is just about to daw a
upon tlio city n day of glorious prosperity ,
when ovorj body can buy Iu cheap markets
and hull in dear ouu , when tto children of
all the nations of Iho oarlh shall crowd thu
streets hungering and thirsting for town lots.
when wo shall strike oil and coal ana build
lallw ays and bridges nnd generally tinmp
onward with uands nlaylug ami bannun
waving along Iho glorious highway lhat
lujdH to uiilvuis > al opulcnco. Wo i " > eg along
in pretty much Iho same style , "neverthe
less , and familiarity wilh there purlodie out
bursts of nrtiticial enthusiasm breeds , not ex
actly contempt , but InolTiiblo woailnoss. l'eo <
plo who are interested in Omaha realty , o
in anv other sort of Omaha property , uhoulii
hardly find it neccssuiy to either 'paint tins
lily or gild icllnci ! gold. ' IT they will open
then1 ojes and watch Iho w.uini ; of Iho
straws in the bicczo they will realize that
without fuss or fume or maitlal miislo wo
nro 'netting thoie just the same. ' Thoio Is
no e.i clone , no II ? and boom , but wo aic sim
ply gliding alone with motion so steady , a
piospeiity so even , that we scarcely notice
oui own proio s.
"And our best times nro coming. That
mav bound n little line the boomers , hut I am
no boomer Straws show which way the
wind blows. Woik Is about lo begin on Ibo
enlargement of Iho slock yards and packing
houses. This work must bo done by mo a
nnd tlio onlaigeinent of the capacity will fur
nish room for still moro workmen. This Is n
good rl/ol straw , since it involves an cxpoa *
dituroof Sl.OOO.UJO , a lot of money. 'J ho
Iviug brewery and the Omaha bio \\or.v will
together Invest another million In hulldiugs.
Undoubtedly the necessary bonds will bo
voted and the Nebraska Central or somu
other road will build tbo bridge and a road.
into Iowa , which will bring the great cast-
em ti link lines into the eity. Tin : HRU In
its nnsu'Cfb to the question " 'Dous Farming
Pay In Nobiaska" Is turnishiug some mighty
interesting reading and giving the ntato a
boom which will in turn boom the eity
' The Heal I'stulo Owners association is
negotiating with manufacturers who will
ccitainly open here and furnish work for a
small army of employes. The government
building will go forward soon and furnish
employment lor a large number of men.
All thcso people coed homes and sidewalks
niid paved streets to roach them , and so
again moro woio is supplied.
Then look at the iidvcrtHtnont wo nro to
get. Fir.it there is the Methodist confoicnca
which has centered Iho eyes of iho onllro
reading and thinking world upon this city of
Omaha. It will be hero for a tuoith and
will have among Us attendants some of Iho
most eloquent speakers and groaicsi think
ers , from not only every state in Iho union ,
but every countiy of Christendom. Then
comas the people's party ( convention , a big
ger thing than the national republican and
democratic conventions combined , with 1,77(5 (
delegates and visitors onouph to 1111 ovorv
hotel and Boarding house to ovoi ( lowing. U
will send out a Hood of printed mutter to
evei v farm and homestead from Now Vorls
to San Francisco , Ironi Mexico to Canada ,
all dated Omalm. Tlicn come the Modem
Woodmen nnd iho rompotilivo drill of the
National Uunrds and the mauufuutuicr's ox-
