JULY A GOOD MONTH FOR JOBBERS
Tlio Ttntntl Trade I > pcclnlly with Thoto

Not Very Active Hunk ClearIngs -
Ings Large ,
That part of July nlrondy passed has boon
characterized by n very good Jobbing trade
at Omaha. .Even should the week to como
only show n moJcrato trade the averaso for
thonvholo month would be very satisfactory.
This condition of trade has not boon lim
ited to any ono branch , but applies to the
Jobbing trade tn general. Sotno lines ot busi
ness may have experienced mnro activity
than othcri , Just as ono jobbing houio may
huvo a bolter Xrndo than another , hut they
have nil been reasonably nctlvo nnd no conv
plaints nro hcurd from any source ,
Most Jobblnir houses huvo had about nil
the business Hint they cared to do nnd all
hands huvo been uopt busy In filling orders.
The feeling In Jcbblng circles Is ono of con
fidence owing to tlio generally good pros-
prets for crop * In Nebraska.
A recent issue of the Now York Bulletin
devotes considerable spnco to n re
view ot thu dry goods trade during
the pnst six months. According to his
authority the dry goods ttudo has passed
through six months of vurlnd experiences ,
with n gradual movement toward n moio
satisfactory condition than hud existed for
Bomo tlmo bofore. The main features Unvo
. been n low level of prices and a largo busi
ness. Thu former win the outcome of cheap
raw material In the great stnplo urnnchps of
cotton and woolen manufactures , the latter
*
being in no unull degree Iho result of the
former encouraging IncrcnstU. consumption.
It wns oxpcctcd thnt the demand from the
grnln'growtng sections of the country would
prove extensive , but that the conditions of
the south would ho an offctituul barrier to
nny Improvement there. Results have shown
that In the ono direction business has barclv
readied the anticipated dimensions , while
they have exceeded thorn In the other. The
enormous grain crops have not been sold at
the high prices looked for , nnd the expendi
ture on dry goods has probably boon Ilttlo In
excess of the previous year throughout the
west , but thn purchasing power of the dollar
bus been ( -renter. This , moro than anything
else , has enabled the south to show results ,
which , outsldo of too Atlantic states , com-
pnro favorably with the preceding year.
Trade wus comparatively late in getting
Into motion , nnd when well under way
Buffered moro than tbo usual spring Inter
ruptions from bad weather , , floods and bad
roads. Both at the bciiinnln of the year
mid nguln some tune later it appeared us
though stock * , of manufactured goods would
accumulate materially o.i the bauds of
agents , but Judicious concessions In some of
tbo leading staples accelerated the movement
mid thu half year closed with slocks In bet
ter shape than at nnv preceding time during
the six months. This Is noticcubfo In brown
nnd bleached shootings und shirtings , in n
\arioty of colcrcd cottons , and romnntnbly so
in the Instance ot print cloth fabrics , of
which tbcro tins been u lurpc consumption in
the shnpu ot prints , Uld-finished cambrics
nnd other converted styles.
In cotton dross fabrics It has boon em
phatically a printed goods season ; riot be
cause of an unusual call for ordinary prints ,
but from the extensive vrrletios of special
ties which have been put successfully on
ibo market. The beauty ot thu designs and
colorings of these and the excellency of the
fabrics proved most attractive to the trade ,
nnd what is quite us important hnvo shown
the high standard now reached by our manu
facturers and printers. The great popular
ity of printed patterns naturally affected the
d cm nnd for ginghams and other woven
styles , and the inuiffercnt business In these
has bean an exception to the conoral rulo.
Not the least snttsfnctcry feature of tbo
talf year's trade has been found In the rcg-
lilnrlty of collodions. In western sections ,
\vboro money was moro plentiful than of into
years , It Is not surprising that bills were
promptly mot ; but the south , where back-
Tv'nranofs in nottlcmcnts might naturally
have been looked for , has suffered nothing in
comparison with the rest ot the country.
Agents and jobbers in this city and jobbers
throughout the west and south are ull acrecd
in reporting outstanding indebtedness at the
cloFo of tbo bait ycnr under the average.
This U testimony to the conservative basis
on which buslnc&s lias been done , und thnt
sales under the provailint ; policy hnvo been
KO largo is nmplo prcof of an extensive con
sumptive domand.
The bulf year has thus closed with the
market generally in good sbupo und with an
txcollunt oqtlook for the coming six months ,
to * withstanding tbo fact that the p'niatdei-
llal campaign Is likely to oxcrciso a disturb
ing influence. < i
The fanner himself is not inoro Interested ,
ml decs not pay more attention to crop pros
pects than the nvorugo business man ut the
present tlmo. The advices from different
sections of Nebraska seem to point to
another Inrgo crop. Recent showers cover
ing the greater portion of the state hn/o re
moved nil apprehensions of any Immediate
daiiL-cr to thu ci.rn crop train drouth.
July Is not generally a good month In thn
retail trade , and the present Is no exception
to the rulo. The stoics currying u cheaper
class.of goods appear to bo enjoying a lanror
trada thun these which aim to supply : tie
bettor class ot customers. This may bo ex
plained by the fuel tbnt at this season a
great many.of the wealthy pcoolo are out of
the city , and the stores which they patron-
Izu necessarily feel their ubsoncu in a di
minished trado. '
Tlio Financial Situation.
The money market continues in nbout tbo
snnid shape as noted a wock ago. Ttio re

"Tho bankers are in no better humor than

"At South Omaha receipts of both cattle

The week has been u bad ono for cattle , and
prices liitvo brolcen badly on all grades ,
especially on thu pretty good grass
and cornfed steers. Prices were weak
ut the opening of the week , und notwith
standing u rapid falling on" In receipts
the nrirkot went from bud to worse ,
mid the break In values amounts to from
3 u to ? lio. Hhlppers nnd oxnorteishavo been
big loners the latter part of last week and the
early purl of till * , und their ubsenee added to
the other depressing features of the trade.
The principal reason for tlio dee Ine , how
ever , limy vastly be traced to Iho heavy re-
oolpts of western entile ut ull markets , 'ihoso
cultlo were rounded up n u hurry , regardless
of condition un 1 rnsliHd Into the market to
tuko iidviinta.o of the reeent buU'u in nrloos.
This resnltol ns usual In tlio Uenio.ltlon of

Ciuorgo JcfTrojr scored a b.iso hit ,
The trouble grow out ot the Rich

mornlntr , Ic which Kdson Hieliva onjolnad

onico from Inlcrfcrlnt * with Mr. Jeffrey
u oxnmlnlnit any of ttio books nnd papers

When the sheriff visited the ofllca for the
purpose of serving the papers , llloh as-
inultcd. Jeffrey , who In turn ohot Hloh ,
jrouklnt * his ai-m. Friends of Iho txvo man

.roubles Friday afternoon widened tha
jfcnuh and in ado nnythun ; of thnt kind lm-
losslhlo.
Durlm ; thodny E. M. Ilartlott , uttornoy
'or JcfTroy , and O. S. Montgomery , attorney
'or Hloh , hold a consultation nnd things
ookcd ns though an adjuumont would bo
roaohed.
Liter Attornor Uarllott , In company with
JelTroy , visited the onico of JclTroy & Rich ,
where they found Uuvld Rich , u brottier ot
djon Rich , nnd M , L. Sean in possession.
They had hardly entered the room wlitm
3avid Rich , with a heavy c.uio In his hand ,
rushed ut Jeffrey , oxclalmlni ; : "D-n you.
got H.-IU out of here or 1 will do you up , and
thnt mlKht.v quick , too. "
JrfTroy snla that ho was tlioro not to have
any 11-jht , but lu pursuance of thoordor ot
tbo court.
"I don't cnro for that , " answered Rich.
I'll do you up sooner or later , and you bad
batter get out. "
Jeffrey saw there wns trouble In sight and
started into the hall , where lllch started
for Itartlntt , suvlnp , 'This Is none ot your
affair mid you had bettor qctout. " .
Unrtlott .stood his ground quietly roruark-
ng thnt Rich , whllo possibly ho did not
know It. was violating an order of ttio court.
Ho did not cara for that , bu * . ohf-agod tn
a hand-to-hand contest vuth Bartlctt. All at
once ho concluded that ho had placed
ilmscif in a oad light with tbo court and
begged to have the matter dropped.
liartlett told him that t&oro'waft no thin it
o drop ; that ho had violated the ordci ot
the court and would have to tnka the con o-
quonccs.
Rich grew loud and wanted blood , but was
quieted down by Bears , who led him off Into
another room.
Messrs. Qartlott and Jeffrey then brought
.ho matter to tha attention of Judge
Scott , unit this morning ho cltad
Q.ivld Rich to upoour and show cause why
ho should not bo fined for con loin nt.
On tbo witness stand Mr. Dnrtlott stated
that ho and JolTroy were in the ofHuo looking
over the books whan David Rich walked Into
the private room and imufo the assault.
Mr. JolTroy toitl'lcd to Iho s.imo stntn of
Tacts , ufter which Judge Scott rendered his
opinion. He mild that David Rich kuoiv
thnt the order of the court had boon Issued ,
und that it enjoined .Kdson Rfoh , tils clerks
und employes from Interfering with the man-
agcmnnt of the affairs of the ofllcc.
Mr. Montgomery argued that David Rich
was not an attorney and consequently did
not know what It meant to violate un order
of the rouut.
Judge Scott replied that If ho did not
know ho haJ boon advised. Then Mr. Rich
wus requested to stand up , and ns ho ilooj
: io .vas lined { 100 and costs nnd ordered Im
prisoned until tbo duo was paid. Besides
this , ho was placed under bonds of $303 to
keep tbo pence and not Interfere with the
order of the court again. Tlio sentence read
that upon tbo failure to furnish the bond
thnt ho would po to jail.
Mr. Montgomery pleaded for a reduction
of the line , but . 'udco Scott mid
"no. " The flno wus not so much
for the purpose ot inflicting n punishment ,
out was to show that on order ot the oourt
meant something.
Mr. Montgomery stated that ignorance
caused David Rich to act.
That may bo true , " answered Judge
Scott , "but it you will bring the luwyer wno
advibcd him , I may make u different order. "
Mr. Montgomery thought that there ought
to bo somj raoroy accompany tbo Justice , and
that the client ought to nave two or three
dnyu in which to ralso the money with
which to pay the Quo.
Mr. Unrtlett believed that an injunction
was an order that should not bo violated with
impunity , and that the order of Iho court
should bo carried out.
Judge Scott answered that the nontenco
would not bo modified nnd that It would DO
carried Into effect at ouco.
Owing to injuries inlllctcd upon Edsoa
Rich , the contempt proceedings were con
tinued , co far as ho was concerned.
In lust evening's Issue of TUB BISE the
reading of the matter did nn unintentional
injustlcn to Mr. Soars in that it inferential ! ?
connected him with the assault on Mr.
liartlctt. Tha only efforts put forth by Mr.
