Tlio wcrlt Just closed lias not been very
productive of new featuicsn-j regards the
wholesale trade of Omaha. The volume of
business continues very satisfactory and
fully up touhut HIM untlclpatcd for this
month ,
A j car ngo nt this tlmo the Jobbers were
lminjf a very heavy trade and for that rea
son the incicaso over last year Is not so very
Krcat , At the sumo tlmo the general condi
tion of trade Is hotter than It was a jcar

As noted a week ngo money does not
nppoar to bo ns plentj In the country as It
\\us earlier In the u Inter. Sono retail
( k'.ih'is ate comintncliiK to complain that the
farmers do not have nnj too much money
nml tire not paying their bills ns piomptly as
they \vcio. This pi events the country
merchants from being us prompt as ut one
time , and some of the local Jobbers : ire not
ing that they tuo locehlng moro ap
plications for nn extension of time
Just why the fnrm.pts nhuuld bo short ,
of money ut this tirno Is no very easy mutter
to suy They had u huge crop last \car und
according to all accounts there Is still ucry
largo amount of last year's wop remaining
inthocounto unsold. Almostcver.\ thing that
the farmer hns to sell Is bringing high prices
C'Jin brings u fair price vvhilo hogs aic
enotmouslj high. 1'oultryi eggs , butter and
In fart about everything in the \\s\y of f-win
pioduco Is bringing moro money tlrin usual
If It Is true , us cl.iimrd , that the farmers arc
Btlll holding u peed deal of their produce It ,
would seem that there should bouogie.it
.tightness In monc in the country.
Comincu Inl Conditions ( lood.
There Is ono thing to bo taken Into consid
eration , hovv over ul'ilcesof Into htiM3 Dccn
advancing nml It Is \vellkno\n fact that
tlio fin mcis do not sell vv hen the market is
on the upgrade. Ihey usually wait until
the tophus been i cached nml the downhill
com so commenced , then they rush cveiy-
thlng to market. Homo nsscrt that the
fnuners nro doing that very thing nt the
pie.scnt time , und that that is the reason for
money not being any moro plenty In the
country. A ictuil deulcr , who was In the
other day , iwnnrkcd that some of the
fanners In his section \veio sa\ing that they
would hold their hogs until the market
touched ? 8 In the meantime they .no forced
to 'stand off" tlio mciclmnts
Fiom this it must not bo Inferred that
conditions In the countij nto not f.ilrl.v good ,
for they ate More than that the indica
tionsould scorn to point to u continuance of
n toinpaiathely good trade in all lines for
some time to come. If it is trtto thnt the
fin met s mo making money u llttlo clo&o Just
ut Piesent hj holding h.ii k their crops thej
will have Just that much more when the do
sell their produce.
Iheio Is not much to offer on the subject
of the retail trade In Omaha Merchants
Renciully uro reporting u fair trade for the
season and antklpato u icasonubl good
trudo for the coming spt ing A good many
mo pi diluting an cuily opening of the build
ing operations in the spring and plenty of
work for l.iboreis. If their predictions nio
lealized the retuil trade of the city must bo
good. The fetulleis generally uio expiess-
ing the hope that public works will bo
commenced us soon ns tUo weather will
permit and not bo 'lelujed ns last season.
In the I'roiliun World.
The produce murket during the past week
hns not been Ithout interest , although the
conditions dining the llrst few du.vs were
practically only n continuance of what wns
already In existence before the close of the
vrcuk bofoie. Tlio most tiotlccablo lentuies
during the curly part of the week were light
receipts , high prices , a moderate demand and
a consequent slow movement of stocks. The
receipts nud demand were so evenly bal
anced thut thcrj was no surplus and the
arrivals of each any w ere cleaned up before
the closo. In this respect the market may
ho said to hn\.o been In n satisfactory condi
tion , but the pi lies were so high on most
kinds of produce thut the consumption wns
limited to tha least amount possible , thus
milking y dull mm kct , which Is no\er satis
factory to the dealer. As the high prices
were consequent Ux | > n continued cold
weather und light icccipts It wns antici
pated that a warm spell would break the
market. The long looked for warm spell put
Itj nn uppcarnnco on Friday and the egg
mm kct went to pieces hi short order.
The condition of the egg mm kct during
the past week or two , forms an Interesting
chuptor in the produce market uhd ono that
him been commented on very largely In nil
parts of the country. The advance hns not
been con lined to any locality , but has been
general nil o\er the whole country , oust ns
well ns west. Such un advance has not been
known for jeursnnd prices have not only
touched an unusually high point , but they
hu\o lomnlneil nt thnt point for some time
bofoio breaking.
In other lines of produce thcro.ls not much
to bo said. Poultry lias been rather scarce ,
and the prices very satisfactory. In fact
prices have been most too high to stimulate
consumption. Tneto has been no game on
the market to speak of. The w e.uher has
evidently been too cold for the huntoia to
ventuio out In quest of It.
Mutter which Is , as n rulo.cry plenty In
this market hns been following the.example
ot other lines of produce , and lias been grow
ing moro scurco of lute. Prices have uccord-
ingly advanced somewhat.
The so\cro ( .old wenthcr hns naturally
> acted as a banicr to the shipment of fruits
or vegetables to any great extent. In some
mutkctstho losses from freezing hn\o been
quito severe , though Omaha has been moro
fortunate In thnj icspcct.
Oinuliu Hunk Clearings.
Again the clcnrings of the banks of this
city show u largo gain over last j enr , w hich .
can not help but bo gratifying to every well-
wisher of Omnhn. There is also n heivy
puln ns computed w ith previous weeks. The
largest clearings for any ono week In Decem
ber wns for the week ending on the 17th ,
when the total was $7OTllX ! > l 111. As this
was the week that included n largo projKir-
tlon of the Christmas trading , It wus only
natural to expect thnt It would provo to bo
tlio highest point of the cleat Ings record for
some tlmo to come , but It docs not prtno to
luuo been such. The llrst week In thu new
j ear distanced that record , nml each sul-so-
quent week hits made a still better showing.
As Diluted out a week ago commercial
operations cnn not bo credited with all the
puln , Huslncbs hns been \cr > sntlsfauton ,
but It hus not been suDlcluntly luigo In
Milumo to uciount for such a remarkably
largo Incicaso It was also stntcd thut bank
ers were nscrlblng the gain In clearings to
the Increased aethlty In real estate. This
proves to bo the correct \erslon of the mat
ter. Ono bank reK | > rts that it handled J500-
000 resulting fromrcnlestntc transfers. The
greater part of this amount Is duo to the
operations of the Kust Oninhn I-ind com

Ollu-r I.him.
W. II. Hoberson , manager of the Ouiaha
ofllco of K. O Dun A. Co , speaking of local
trade , si\s ; , :
"Tho week has been quite satisfactory to
local Jobbers , nearly all of whom say that
ealcs arc ahead of ono jear ago. However ,
except in staples , not n great dent Is expected
of the month Several Important lines nro not
soliciting trade j ctns ills between seasons
w Ith them Nothing has occurred , however ,
to make dealers less hopeful On the con-
tntr.v.atl the Incidents of the week and
month iwlnt to n verj active season.
"At the banks generally n fair demand
only for money Is reported. Two of the
larger Institutions say that llttlo Is dolmr
and two others report their funds well
lonned out. One of tno oldest bankers sajs
ho would bo glad to pick up ? 100,000 In good
loans. In most cases dciwslts are about the
same as last week. In OHO an Increase Is
noted and In another a considerable reduc
tion Is mentioned ,
"Thero has been moro talk than usual
about n new wholesale dry goods house but
unfortunately the talk Is about the only
thing encouraging connected with the mat
ter. It Is iwsalblo where there Is so much
smoke some tire must have been kindled , but
candor compels the statement at this Junc
ture that no option has been taken by any
wholesale dry goods linn upon any Inrgo
building In Omnha and no definite steps have
been taken by nny lai go linn looking to nn
early locution hero.
"It Is n well authenticated fact , however ,
that a largo eastern house hns begun negoti
ations fora four-story building on Douglas
street for a largo wholcsile and retail con
cern and It will probably be settled this
week whetheror not the building will bo
leased.
"In retail circles trade has been Inactive ,
onlj the forced sales attract attention The
extent of lastjear's trade , howe\er , Is not
fulli appreciated. One of the retail clothing
houses report sales of 000,000 and It is
known that other establishments Tune done
fully ns much.
"Speaking of mail eiders a letail mer-
chnnt surptised mo tliu other day with the
Infounntion that ho sold $100 000 worth of
goods outside of Omaha In this way duting

"Heal estate Is quiet , but Inquhles for
i psideiico properties are reported bi several
actlvo ngents

ciation should be encouraged in its efloits

The transactions of the teal estate men
aic swelling the dealings of Omaha very
materially.
Council Bluffs Is coinim ? in for some of the
honuilts derived from the operations of the
Hast Omaha Laud company Hovcial trans
fers of real estate in Kast Omaha were filed
over there dm ing tlio past week.
About $1,000,000 worth of real estate has
changed hands ns a result of the bridgo-
building operations and other improvements
In Knst Omaha.
"Thcionio tnoio talkers than biijers" is
the wuj u icul estate mun sums up the local
situation
Theio Is no denying the fact that there Is
u much hotter fooling in real estate
circles. 'Confidence in the future values
of Omaha property is becominR sti Oliver
and there is a growing desire among
people \vlth idle capital to invest their
money in property At piesent the demand
Is largely In tlio diiection of peed houses ami
lots or good lots for icsidcnccs it appears
to bo the better class of propel ty that Is
wanted It is also said that theio is quito a
little stir hi business property. As jet not
mm h has i OHIO of It moie than talk , but it
isiumored that there at o some fairly Rood
deals on hand that may bo consummated be
fore muni moro weeks roll around.
It is n noticeable fact that people who
have propertv nndnic in a jiositioii to hold
it are not willing to take much less tli'in tlio
actual value of the property for the meio
sake of making a sale In other words
there is no scramble to sell , but Instead , un
inclination to hold lor further advances.
Occasionally a pai ty is found who for some
ica son is foi ceil to sell , and then It is possl-
blu to put something a little be.ovvthc actual
tual value. This goes to show- the strength
of tlio market and the confidence that
ovvtiers have In the futuic of the city.
"Tho opening up of spring will show
moro buildings commenced than for
several j cars , " said a prominent
couti actor. A good many plans
uro | Hing druw n and some have already been
completed. Both private residences and
business blocks ai eon the list. The stnto-
nicnt of the Pnxton & Vicrling hon works
th.tt they bavo more contracts on hnnd ut
present than at any tlmo since Ibb'J shows
the temlenej In this matter. Annrcbltcct is
authority for the statement that a client of Ills
In the cast Is considering the advisability of
putting up a line building near Twentieth
nud Painum streets calculated for n hotel to
bo run on the Kuropcnn plan.
Rents arc said to bo a little firmer In
Omaha than a year ago. While there uro a
few vacant houses in the city there would
not appear to bo any moro than usual In
cities of the sUe of Omahn.
To the nverage beholder but little chnngo
in the retail business during the past icar
hns been noticed , but to the close observer
the usual trend of business westwnid during
iMli iscrv m.iiko I. Hetull houses aio mov
ing toward the lesldenco section in Omaha

that , too , in view of the ( act that owners of

"A great effort should bo made by Omaha
people to get the eastern visitors to the

business man "Of the millions of eastern

Omaha hus as good n shirt factory ns any
city in thu countu , and still there nro some
business men who do not think enough of
the eltj's prosperity to patronize U. They
send out of town for shirts thnt nro made ,
many times , In smaller factories than thoj
ono In Omaha , and factories that nro not
capnbloof tutnlngout as good work ns can
be done here Some of these same business
men would make n great crj If any ono
should send out of the city for something In
their line.
The manufacturers must turn over n new
leaf and attend the meetings of their assocl-
alien hetlcr. They cannot expect the people
to take any Interest In the home patronage
movement , nor can they expect any news
paper to give up Its space to advocate homo
patronage , If the manufacturers themselves
do not take enough interest In the work to <
spend an hour once or twice In a month at
tending n meeting. The general excuse for
nonattendance of the meetings Is "too busy. "
That may he n good excuse , hut the pcoplo
may excuse their not patronising homo In
dustry on the same ground that they are
too busy to call for Nebraska made goods
The Orand Island Cigar company , which
vvas admitted to the Manufacturers associa
tion at the last meeting is said to bu the
Isrgcst factory in the state. They employ
forty-two pcoplo and sell goods not only in

CHICAOO , 111. , Jan. 21 , A new sinker was
tied to wheat today fear of the consequences
of making No. 1 northern tqulng a regular
dollv cry on contracts. The market was strong
at the opening und closed ut about mid-day's
range and about ? tc lower than on Iho day
boforo.
Corn and outs averaged higher , but closed
without material change except that the Jan
uary deliveries In both closed at a nominal
advance , amounting to about Sfc for oats ami
! ( c for corn. Provisions opened Ilrm and con
tinued to the end , gaining lOc In thu prlco of
poik , 7'ic ' In laid , 5c lovvur in ribs.
Thoio was n llttlo show of strength at the
opening of thu unexpectedly strong cables ,
but thu feeling was followed by a selling cr.i/o ,
which quickly set prices olT. Though the ux-
ports from both coasts were considerably
laMer than u weuk ago and llradstreut's esti
mated that the amount In funnels' hands on
March 1 would not exceed 104,000.000 bu.
against 171,000,000 bu the s line time last
yeat , and estimated on thu visible supply
showing no Increuse with chances favoring a
small docieasu ; all this , taken In connection
with stiong cables , would naturally have
madu a llriu market , hut theio Is u
proposition which will uiob'ibly bu
voted on Monday , to make the guide of
No 1 northern deli voi able on contract. Many
In ( ho tiudu contend that this , which Is In
ferior to No. 2 , will foico bnyeis to taKe a
pooroi giade In settlement on contiacts than
can bu dollveied iindei thu piesent lilies ;
hencu It bud thu ulTtct of weakening prices.
In any uvent , whethi'i It Is us good us So 2 or
not , It will Inciousu thu siipplv ot contract
