THE CONDITION OF TRADE
Business In a Jobbing Way All That
Could Bo Asked.
A GOOD HOLIDAY TRADE IS ANTICIPATED
Tlio WrrU'n llnnk ( IrurliiRH Show tlio Itc-
Milt of the Storm A Itrtlnw of the Con
dition * t'nilrr Which Oinnlm I * lln-
Jojlng Unprcccdrntcd rro pcrlly.
While no especially new features have
been developed In the Jobbing trade of
Omaha during the past wcok , still the situa
tion Is gradually changing. The advent of
genuine winter weather Is always n feature
that produces more or less change in the
course of business. Severe cold weather in
variably stimulates the purchase of winter
goods In n retail way by people who have put
off supplying their wants as long as iwsslblc.
This "last mtnuto" trade frequently depletes
stocks to nn extent that necessitates the fil
ing of additional orders and thus creates
quite a brisk Jobbing trade at n time when It
was reasonable to expect a let up for awhile.
r The heavy snow storm of the past wcok
interfered to some extent with business ,
practically two days being lost out of tbo
week In that section of the country covered
by the stornir Retail customers did not
venture out only ns compelled to and mer
chants were generally contentcd'to ' remain
Indoors and keep warm. Under such condi
tions the amount of business transacted dur
ing the two dajs of tlio , week was light , but
taking tbo week as it whole It was fully ute
to expectations. The Jobbing trade of Omalui
continues very good and them is no cause
for complaint , though In some lines tlicro is
the usual let up conunon to the ncason.
Collections are very satisfactory In all
sections of the territory covered by tbo
Jobbers of this city.
The near approach of the holidays is
putting new llfo into the local retail trade.
The general conditionsaro such that the retail
merchants have reason to anticipate a good
demand for holiday goods this season. The
Increased activity In till lines of business in
the city has f mulshed employment for all
classes of workers , and everything seems to
Indicate that tlicro Is a good deal of money
In general circulation.
Tlio bunk Hearings show the effects of the
storm on business perhaps more clearly than
anything else. On tbo day of the storm the
clearings dropped down almost $ > 00IXX ) , and
though there was u gradual increase as the
effects of the storm wore olt the clearings
had barely regained their normal position at
tbo close of the week. The total for the
week shows a heavy decrease IIH compared
with that of the previous \\celr. which was
$0,8HG80. ( The following \\ill show the

Ill reviewing local trade Mr. W. II. Robcr-
son , manager for R. G. Dun & Co.'s mercan
tile agency in Omaha , says :
"The storm stimulated trade In some lines
and paralyzed it In others. The commission
men received very few shipments , and tbo
local dealers in provisions were not tiblo to
reach the commission houses ; hence trade in
this line was dull. Rubbers , overcoats and
winter garments generally sold very rapidly.
"In the wholesale districts , the sudden
storm had very Httlo if any effect. The Job
bers In clothing and winter goods have long
since closed their orders , and their men are
now out soliciting for the spring trade. Busi
ness at the dry goods , grocery and boot and
shoo houses has been as good as usual and
better than this time a year ago. The
drug trade Is fair. Heavy hardware and shelf
goods are not In as active demand ns a
month ago , but orders thus far in December
exceed those of last year. Prices are
steady and collections good. The lumber
season is over. Ono of the heaviest dealers
in tlio city says his season's business is Ki
per cent ahead of last year. In llquois
dealers report nn active trade.
"At the banks money is still plentiful
though the demand Is increasing as the close
of tlio year approaches , and banks are less
anxious to put out cash. The national
banks are daily expecting a- call from the
comptroller of tlio currency. The meeting
of the State Bankers association occurs oii
the 21st and 22nd of the present month at
Lincoln , Neb. , and considerable interest
Is being taken by bankers hero ami
throughout the state in the coming
session. The bankers will in nil probability
propose some legislation , as their meeting
occurs so short a time previous to the open
ing of the legislature.
"Speaking of the approaching session o
the legislature reminds mo that the Jobbers
of the city are very much In earnest over tin
question of our Ineffective collcctioi
laws , and it will not bo at all surprising U
learn that they have taken definite steps t (
secure some necessary amendments. Ainoiu
the recent failures In this city it is very gen
crally believed that several cannot bo consld
crcd honest. It Is openly charged in ono case
where tlio liabilities were very largo
and the assets very small that the bankrupt !
have more money today than they over lint
before. The wholesalers are thorough ! )

There nro 400 associations in the city c

The Valentine , Nob. , association has forti

Chicago has between 200 and iiOO assocl :

Illinois associations are moving to seem
the iwBsago of H law by the. next leglshitui
providing for thorough state supervision i
building associations and an annual exan
inatliin by the state auditor.
It Is estimated that there are about 7,01
associations In the United States at th I
time , with nearly 2,000,000 persona intc
csted In their deposits. Experience hi
shown that n largo proiwtlon of the mom
thus saved goes Into the purchase and ciiuli
incut of homes.
An ImiKH-tant ruling was made rcccutlv I

should be. Tlio actual membership of the
league Is barely one-third of the local asso
ciations In the state , whereas every as
sociation ought to bo n member. It
Is nil the more surprising when
It Is considered that the puri-oso
of the league Is to protect the Interests of
nil. Every association Is directly Interested
in the pcncral ndvancement of legitimate co
operative. home build Ing and In securing
such legislation ns will prevent dangerous
Innovations and reckless management.
United action is essential to this end. The
value of the work of the league will bo in

the convention will nrnuso greater interest
in the work undertaken and tmlto nil In n

W. II. Taylor writes ns follows regnrdj
Ing the bank clearings and the bright out
look for this city :
From the report of the comptroller of the
currency I gather some interesting statistics
which show conclusively that not only
Omaha , but the state of Nebraska , has
made material progress during the p.ist
year.
Oinnha stands out boldly and prominently
with u wonderful Increase In Its business ,
greater than that of nn.v other western city ,
with the exception of Chicago and Minneap
olis. Our totabbank clearing1 * for the year
ending September ) , IS'.tt , were $ ! 71WMIUT ,
showing nn increase over last year of . * . " > : ) . -
.01 1. In the matter of Increase the fol
lowing cities conic in their order : Now
York , Chicago , Philadelphia , Hoston , St.
Ixmia , Minneapolis. Cincinnati , Omaha
this city being eighth In the largest cities
of the United States.
For the month of October , IS'JO , com
jurc.l with the sumo month of
last year , Omaha stands the fourth
city of the union , being only ex
ceeded by Chicago. Philadelphia and
Cincinnati. The business for this month
shows an increase of $7,1)71 ) Hi.
These figures speak volumes for the solid ,
substantial business progress of Omaha. It
Is the. best possible index to the business
transactions of a city. It means that while
many cities showed an increase over last
year and many an actual loss , Omaha shows
up tin enormous Increase. Taking our iopit'
lation Into consideration our per cent of in
crease is greater than any city In the United
States with the possible exception of Chicago
cage , Now York and Philadelphia.
Now with the many enterprises and lin
provemcnts contemplated for the coming
new year it seems to mo that It Is not a rasli
prediction to assert that the year of 18'J.T wll
develop more substantial and solid business
improvements In Omaha than has over been
contemplated In any ono year in our history.
The building nt the new railroad bridge
means great things for the midcontincnt
metropolis. Our people can scarcely over
estimate the benefits wo arc to derive fron
this great steel structure. It opens to us n
new lluld for trade. It settles for all timi
the monopoly enjoyed by the Union Pucill
Bridge company these many years. It wil
bring at least two new railroads into Omaha.
which will give us direct communication to
the pine and iron region of the Tiako Super
ior country. It will reduce traffic rates be
tween Chicago and Omaha. It will build 11
largo passenger and freight depot to accom
modate eight or ten railroads. It will place
on equal footing all the roads entering from
the cast.
Another great enterprise is well under
way and It is backed up by some of Omaha's
largest capitalists and men who have never
mudo a failure of anything with which they
have been connected. I have the best ot
reasons for believing that the proposed canal
for water and electric power can bo set
down as an established fact and that it is only
a question of a year or two at most when
this will be in full operation. In my judg
ment there is nothing that can be done for
Omaha and the great state of Ne
braska which will bring to us so
much in general prosperity and wealth as
a gicut water power , such as is proposed by
this canal. It would tit once reduce the cost
of power to such an extent as to make
Omaha ono of the greatest manufacturing
centers in the great west. By using only
one-half of the water that flows through the
Platte river at low water wo will have a
power second only to Niagara falls. Tlio
cost of bringing this into usefulness in
Omaha is trilling compared with the benefits
wo will derive. By all means let this enter
prise receive tbo hearty and earnest cooperation
ation of every man and property owner ,
especially in Omaha. It would not only in.
sure permanent employment to every labor
ing man and woman in Omaha , but would
add thousands to our population and millions
to GUV wealth.
Building operations for 1893 promise well.
Our architects arc now planning out more
, buildings for next year , and of a more sub
stantial character , than have been built
, in the past three years all put together.
Verily at no time in Omaha's history has
the immediate future looked so promising.
Wo will need to put everything in the best
possible shape for the coming year. Tons of
thousands or people from the east and Europe
will bo our guests. A largo number of those
who visit tlio World's fair will come on west
to see for the first time one of the most en
terprising and progressive cities of tlio great
west. Omaha is the natural gateway for all
this travel.
Altogether and all around , wo are on tlio
very eve gf great things for Omaha. Our
people should wake up to this fact and not
: loose an opportunity to co-operate in all that
is for the general good of all.
Perfect action and perfect health result

They Agree on 1'relnht llimlnesH , but Are

Citir\Hi , 111. , Dec. 10. The ircncrnl freight
itKcnts of the tiMii.siiiissouri ivnds , who have
been In session in this city for several days ,
adjourned last evening after adopting nn
agreement for tbe protection ot freight rates
in their territory. The committee of three
appointed to report n plan of organization to
take the place of tbo association that went
out of c.xislence November 11 submitted Its
recommendations. After considerable dis
cussion the main features of the plan wcro
adopted and will bo put into effect as soon
as the necessary arrangements can bo made.
The new plan provides for the appointment
of three rate committees , ono for Nebraska ,
ono for Kansas and one for Colorado-Utah
tnifllc. Kaeli committee is to hnvuchurga o
nil rate matters in its particular territory ,
but they are to work In harmony
and are to hold ( imirterly meetings
for the consideration of questions re
quiring legislation. General meetings
may be called at any time on
the request of the manager. A secretary is
to bo chosen to keep tbo records of all the
meetings , but every meeting will elect its
own presiding officer from among the mem
bers present , thus saving the salary of a
regular chairman. The headquarters of the
new combination will be at Kansas City ,
and it is understood that Mr , McFaddcn will
be retained as secretary.
By this agreement , which is chiefly re-
marknblo for its .simplicity , provision is
made for the preservation of freight rates
west of tbo Missouri river. In the menu-
time passenger rates in that territory are
becoming badly demoralized , The Union
Pacific is accused of paying a commission ol
. " 1 on way tickets sold over its lines from
the Missouri river to Colorado points. When
the Transmissouri association wns in exist
ence there was a rule fixing the maximum
commission at § 1 for such business , and.
some of thu roads contended that this should
still bo observed. The Union Pacific In
sists , however , that it was not the first to
increase tbo commission , and that it will bd
time enough for its competitors to niako
charges when they have purified their own
households. Owing to the bad feeling be
tween tbo Union Pacific and its Colorado
competitors , growing out of the quarrel over
Pacillc coast business , there is little pros
pect of a satisfactory agreement for the es
tablishment and maintenance of transmis-
souri passenger rates.

inan today sent a message to the general as
sembly regarding the refunding of tlio
Brown consol bonds , which fall duo July
next. Ho says the state's credit has suffered
by reason of the bad management of Its finan
cial aflairs in the past , and that it is now
impossible to place its bonds at par at 4 per
cent , as had been anticipated. The governor
proposes that thu bonds bo made < H < fs , that
the general assembly provide a sinking fund
for thu gradual payment of the debt , and
that the phosphate bids bo mortgaged us
