A j car ago jobbers were congratulating themselves on the ex cellent character of the tr.ulo that vvas com ing to Omaha and vvcro telling gte-at stories of the pain In the ) volume of business as com- p.nod with the ptovlotis season , stories so largo that It vvaa hard to bcllevo them , although there vvas plenty of evidence of their tiuthfulncss This year business Is not only holding up to the high standaul of business activity established last ncason , but In nuiny cases Is exceeding It by u very handsome gain In splto of the almost continuous cold weather , which tends to keep people Indoors nnd to some extent hinder trade , the volume of hiislncss has shown no diminution duiing the past week Thciolsn steady demand for almost everything that Is seasonable and just nt present , at least , It is hardly possible to discover any signs of aery speedly lot-tip In business It would appeal tlmt Indica tions promise u fairly active tiudo for some tlmo to come Conditions In the country are eiiiitc satis factory and ( ollec-tlons are holding up well for the season of the i oar 'I ho best counti j Undo Is almost without exception meeting obligations piomptlj According to the re ports of counti.y iiieiehants who ha\o been In the city duiing the past week theio Is a good ictail business being done In thoeoun- trj. When tbo weather is such th.1t the faimeiH can como into town thoto Is no eViso for complaint about the country iu- tall trade I'liceson most kinds of counti v produce have been so high that those funnels who had anjthlng to sell , and could gut tomaikot with It , have been quite "Hush" as the sav Ing is 'Iho local ietall trade Is geneially repoited ns fair and about as good as i ould bo ex pected under the pie-sent conditions , and at this tlmo of the jear I veijthing would .seem to Indicate that building and other cn- terpiises will open up early In tlio spring , uml thus make plenty of work for laboilng men With the diffeicut manufactuilng In- dusttii.s of the citj' piospering and steadily lucieasing their woiklng forces , Omaha ought to bo u good jioliit for labor This will tend to keep trade moving in a ictall way in the city Ono by ono those business iifenvvho have been talking a little dlscouragingly during the past two jears as lo the outlook for Omaha ch.ingo their opinions and oxptess gi eater conlldenco In the citj' than over before. Ili-v Irvv Ing Country Produce. So much has been ald duiing tlio inst vcck legal ding the condition of the maiket on county produce that veiy little can bo added. As has been noted fiom daj to day , the most Interesting fcatuto in the markut 1ms been the tapld changes in the piico for t'prgs. The high juices and the warm spell hi ought In eggs too fast nnd the maikct bioko badly Then came the present cold simp with the attendant falling off In the iccelpts nnd the downwind tendency of the maikot was stopped nnd prices sent in the opposite dltcotton. The iceovci-j' > has not been as lapld as the decline At the c-loso of the previous week the maikct was quotcel at .Tic. but they dropped rapidly until 18o w as touched. Other lines of pio- duce have not shovinsuch Important changes nndvvhllo thcro luivo been fluctuations the range has been narrow. Chickens have weakened duiing the week and are not sell ing \cry freelj' . The general market has not been very net ho and still there bus been no surplus of icceipts. About everything lecelved has been cleaned upon the clay of aulvnl. Wanner weather would ptobably lend to liven up the maikot ns it would start fruits and'vegetables to moving more fieelj1 and tend to put more lifo into the produce trade. Oiniilin Hunk Clearings. Ow ing to the fact that thcro has been a lot up In the teal cstato transfers connected with the Kast Omaha en tot prises the clear ings of Omaha's hanks do not make qulto such n laigo showing as they did during the two weeks previous At the same time the decicaso has not been heavy , amounting , as ill bo noted below , to only about a half mil lion ono wcokiind a quaiterof a million foi the other week. The present very satisfactory showing ma do bv the dealings of this citj'jnust bo usciibed us being duo almost cntiioly to the prosperity of business A jear ago business in u Jobbing way at least vvas verj- good , bill other local business enteipilses wcio not qulttiso prospeious. At the pit-sent tlmo business men , almost without exception , are it-porting a gain in the xolumo of trade over the same tlmo u .year ago. The clearings which show an increase as compared with n , x ear ago of en cr 50 per cent , w ould scorn to bear out their claim.

Two or three good deals huvo been stalled duiing the week , but nothing iuiK | > rtant was closed "At Lincoln thr gioat event of the week was the tollapso of the Capital National bank. The failure Is very unpromising at this time , though speculators seem willing to buy In claims at u discount. U Is to the credit of the Capital City and shows n \ cry healthy condition of alTalrs that no mercantile tlrms have gone down with the ruin of the largo Ihmneial institution.
