The arrival of warm and pleasant
weather and Its continuance during the
whole of the week has been of no little ad
vantage to the trade of this city. The job
bers ilo not , as a rule , report anv great
activity , but just n good fair tr.idc. It If
( ( tiltesafo to assert that the volumn of bus
iness Is nouin excess of this time last year ,
and so lonu as there Is a Bain thorn cannot
bo much room for fault finding.
The farmers will be busy from now on put
ting In their sprint , ' crops , and for that reason
the country retail trade may suffer to some
extent , but so long as money Is reasonably
plenty in the country there Is peed reason to
anticipate a very fair trade for some time to
come. I'rlces of most Kinds of country pro-
rttico are hiuh. and that fact helps to keep a
good supply of money in the country.
According to the reports of traveling men
from the east who visit all the largo western
cities trade at Omatn Is about i.s good as at
any other western point and much butter
than at n good many. The northern cities
espei-iallj are complaining aleut business
being at a standstill which is attributed
very largely to the low price of wheat vtliiel.
Is their main de.pemlence. Fortunately most
I'vcn'hing ' that Nebraska has to sell has
been hi 'h.
lOastern traveling men arc already putting
in an appearance with samples for the fall
trade It Is unusually early for jobbers to
have salesmen on the road with samples for
fall trade , but some of the Now York house *
tire already Mlelu drnminlmr up trade In Mil
lines of underwear , woolens , cloaks , etc.
The underwear branch is b"ing particularly
att-nded to just now , as there is plenty of
evidence that supplies throughout the country
are small , the long winter having led to a
distribution that kept pate fully with nro-
ductioti One house reports having booked
its lirst orders for next fall underwear over
a m6nth ago , while last year the lirst orders
were not booked until the end of April.
There Is probably another reason for sending
salesmen on the road so early with fall sam
ples , and that is to cover as much ground as
possible before the western trade visits the
Chicago fair.
Jt Is stated that the jobbing trade of St.
Jxiuis Is also getting to work on fall trade
much earlier than usual In all lines where
the movement is possible , to anticipate the
visits of their customers to the fair. It re
mains to be seen whether this | > olie.v of
thrusting the .season so far forward will be
a success or not.
Hunk Clearing * .
As compared with a year ago there has
been an increase in the clearings of the
national banks of Omaha amounting to : W
per cent. This would seem to prove the
truth of the assertion that business is now
in a better condition than It was a year ago
at this time. Such an increase is most grati
fying to say the least.
The clearings for the past week also show
a gain over the previous week , thus indi
cating a gradual improvement in the volume
of trado.
The folio. ving will show the clearings for
each day of the past week , together with tins

The Ci-aln Market.
The Omaha grain market is very quiet , In
fact there is very little grain moving in the
state. The demand for corn Is light am
dealers are complaining that they have seldom
dom seen as quiet a time at this season of the
year. Some arc of Iho opinion that corn Is
too high as compared with wheat.
The reported damage to the winter wheat
crop Is helping to keep up the market on that
cereal. In Nebraska it is claimed by grain
men who have made trips out through the
state that wheat south of the Platlo and
west of a line drawn through York , north
nnd south , is in good condition. In the
southeastern jiortioii of the state there lias
been damage.
Thus far this has been an exceptionally
peed spring for farm work. The farmers are
plowing nnd at the present time there Is
every promise that they will get the seed
into the ground several weeks in advance of
last season. _
FJIO.M IIL'.VS STAMH'OINT.
Oinulm n H Shu Appears In ICaxtern Kycii
ClmnrcK fur the riitnre.
Mr. W. II. Hobcrson , Omaha manager of
H. O. Dun & Co. , leturned from a short visit
in the east yesterday and in an interview
says :
"It was a source of no small satisfaction to
> ne , representing the mercantile agency hero ,
to find throughout the cast that Omaha
stands so well with the trado. I visited
St. Paul , Chicago. Albany , IJInghampton
mid New York City and found
all their people very much interested
in Omaha's prospects. Down east thny
have learned to expect a great deal from
this city , and surprise is expressed on all
sides at the remarkable recovery made by
the state of Nebraska from the depression
caused by bad crops. It is remarked
on nil sides that in no other state
in the union would recuperation bo sc
complete in so short a time. The trade in
Now York and Chicago particularly arcqulu
awake to Omaha's importance as ndistrlbut
ing center and congratulated me upon the
evidences of prosperity shown by the prowtli
of our wholesale trade and the sleadj
iiml large increase in bank clearings. Yoi
may bo sure that I gave them no reason tr
feel discouraged over the prospects hero , foi
in my rcsideme of a single year it
the city 1 have become convinced thai
Omaha will bo one of the large
cities of the country , unless hoi
people by indifference , lack o ;
enterprise or too great confidence In hei
natural position permit" rivals to tnki
nway from her the trade which the trans
portation facilities and topography of the
country warrant her in calling her own.
"I find hero by brief inquiry among tradi
people that the record continues good it
nearly every line. At the banks money v
not so plentiful as a few month !
ago and tills is true of all centers
tors in the country. The tendenc' '
of the funds seems to bo towan
the fanning sections and the smaller towns
but by the 1st of May it Is quite probabli
the movement will be the other way thougl
it Is not anticipated that the money marke
will again bo so inactive as last year.
"Itoinll dealers report a better week am
while they do nut anticipate a very larg
trade for the summer very few if any fee
discouraged over the prospects.
"The opening of the uuihllng season prom
iscs employment to a very large number o
wage earners who will bo engaged in put
ting up the several structures of which men
tion has hitherto been made , and worl
upon the public streets. The Eas
Omaha railway enterprise is mov
ing along most satisfactorily am
tills will bo a source of employment also fu
H considerable number of people. Uj th
way , 1 hear that this eorixiration or person
connected with it have purchased som
tracts In the interior of the county wtilcl
would Indicate a purpose to move out fror
the city toward the \ > cst or northwest.
" .Speaking of railway enterprises bring
to mind tlu > fact but llttlo moro than u forl
night remains within which time the Nt
braskn Central cau show its purpose for th
future Kmno of the friends of this com-
iatt > are still confident that it will IKI doing
lomcthlng within the present month.
" 1 should have stated in n | caking of
"hmiha tlmt the one thing that made mo
ihish for the town wan the occasional
references made to our union dcjiol
accommodations. It was with some degree
of satisfaction that I read In the papers that
t Is quite probable the legal hindrances to
work on the depot will shortly bo removed.
1 know of nothing that gives so bad an Im
pression to a traveler entering a city ns In
adequate and shabby dcjwt accommodations.
"At South Omaha prices on hogs continue
to fall nnd this Is stimulating the packing
Industries thero. ' Hut the supply of hogs
ami the quality are not ns good as they
should be. The high prices of a few weeks
ago seem to have absorbed the greater part
of the hogs In the country , and packers will
probably have to wait for a new crop before
they can be running at their full eaparity.
O "Four failures are reported for Nebraska
district during this week , the principal one
being that of the Omaha Rubber company of
this city. This appears to bo a IKK ! lalluro
on its face , though the representatives of
Uifl corHiration | Insist that proper manage
ment will pay a little more than dollar for
dollar. The Impression is strong , however ,
that not enough will be realized to pay all
creditors In full. "

The railroad managers are to meet on
Monday to consider the request of the
manufacturers for a half rate during the ex
position.
Gothenburg Is another city having water
power that will ne represented at the expo
sition , .lust what they will have has not
been determined upon yet. The Water
Power ifc Investment company has agreed to
make a showing of some kind.
The street leading out to the Coliseum
building is In bad shape and will be a dis
grace to tha i ity in the eyes of the visitors
to the exposition. The manufacturers have
been trying to get the Board of Public Works
to hurrv up the paving of the street , but so
far without success.
Several of the Lincoln manufacturers have
made application for space. Secretary
Holmes will visit that city this week to
learn what the balance will require. Several
good exhibits have been promised from that
city. Mr. Alexander of that city Is trying to
arrange for an exhibit of the sta'.c fisheries
and thus show what progress Nebraska is
making In this direction.
It looks now as if at least one-half of the
.space in the Coliseum building would be re
quired for exhibitors outside of Omaha.
It is more than likely that those manufac
turers who put off anpl.Ung for space until
the last moment will have hard worl : to get
In. The building is now ready for occu
pancy and President Page sa.vs that he will
start out the hustling committee this week
to get the local manufacturers to settle upon
what they want and to commence preparing
for their exhibits.
The Kilpatrick-Koch Dry Goods company
expect to start up the East Omaha overall
factory on Monday. They have engaged a
force of skilled help and will add to it as fast
as they can. There appears to bo a scarcity
of experienced shirt makers in the city at
the present time , due , no doubt , to the rapid
increase in business at the different shirt
factories. The Kast Omaha plant is one of
the best in the country and its present
owners propose to run it to its full capacity.
The opening of this factory will make work
for 100 people before many weeks.
The manufacturers carnival in Lincoln ,
Neb. , recently netted f.'OO over the expenses ,
and the money was voted to the Women's
Christaln association to bo by it expended in
charity , savs the Philadelphia Grocer. That
is an evidence of philanthropic public spirit
in the far west which has not its parallel
east of the Alleghanies. Catch an eastern
industrial or food exposition devoting its
surplus earnings to charitable purposes !
There are too many impecunious hangers-on
to be cared for to allow of the surplus to get
away In that fashion. In the east "charity
begins at home. " and unfortunately , it too
often stays there.
President Page of the Manufacturers as
sociation says that the work of preparing
for the coming exposition is progressing in a
most satisfactory manner. Anplieations for
space have como in much more rapidly than
last year and everyone appears to bo confi
dent of the success of the enterprise. lie
looks for a much bolter exposition than last
year because the manufacturers who did
not make a large exhibit oeforo were sorry
for it and are determined to make up for it
this year. The manufacturers outside of
Omaha are especially interested and are
prep iring to make a most Interesting show
ing of their products.
The millers of the state held a meeting at
the rooms of the Manufacturers association
on Friday to consider the question of making
a large exhibit at the coming state exposi
tion. The attendance was not large , but
those present determined to make a great
effort to show Nebraska flour to the people
of the state and convince them that there is
none better. It was decided to let each mill
make a separate exhibit instead of combining
In ono largo exhibit. Letters were read
from several millers who were unable to be
present at the meeting , in which the writers
promised to agree with whatever action
might bo taken by the nu'eting and do their
share of the work. Mr. Peters , manager of
the Ik-mis Omaha Dag company , was present
and s-ild th : > t his company would aid the
millers in making their exhibits to the ex
tent of $ : ! 00 at least.
Kearney manufacturers have signed for
space and say that they will make a showing
of the industiies of that city that will bo
hard to beat. The cotten mill- will send
down a loom and weave cotton cloth during
the exposition. The weaving of cloth Is
something that few people in the state have
ever seen and will no of great interest. The
Drooin Manufacturing company proposes to
carry on the manufacture of brooms during
the exposition. The Kearney Plow factory
will put in a furnace , a chemical bath for
tempering , an emery wheel and other ma
chinery necessary for carrying on the manu
facture of plows. The Kearney Milling com
pany will have a flour exhibit and the Hub
Printing company samples of bookbinding.
The Board of Trade will show a miniature
canal , an exact representation of the Kear
ney canal , together with the different fac
tory buildings located along its banks.

The peanut market has advanced from 20(1
to HOD per cent during the past few weeks.
The cause for the sudden rise in values
would appear to bo the near approach of the
circus season on top of u partial crop failure
last year.
U seems strange that shippers will s ml
in came and dressed poultry by freight when
the we.ithcr is so warm. Several shipments
of that kind have been received during the
past week. Of course they were a dead loss
and had to be carted away to the dump.
The berry growers of Dyer , Tenn. , are pre
paring to try a new scheme for the disposal
ot tills season's berry crop. Last year there
was quite a largo berry shipping business
done at that and near by towns , but it was
all done on the old commission plan. The
berri growers have Just issued the following
circular to commission merchants setting
forth their plans for the coming season : "We
the fruit glowers and shippers of Dyer
Tenn. . do hereby invite all honorable and re
liable commission merchants of Chicago. St
Ivouls , Kansas City , Milwaukee , Cleveland
Omaha and St. Paul to como to Dyer this
season and bid on our strawberries , as wi
propose to sell on platform. Both ventllatci

that purchasers can use either. Wo have

A remark of a commission man was pub

there was nothing surer to lose a shlppei

CniCAiin , III. , April 8.-A boom In Miiy
wheat was tin- notable feature on 'clr.ingc to-
iliiy , though trading I" July was decidedly
larger than In the near-by option. May at one
lime showed a gain of nearly 2'iiover last
night's price. It was up ISc at the close ,
while July had an advance of only tic. Dry
weather was the main Inlltlence. lluslness

p'Mlods. The bull cliques In wheat and pro-
vlsluns mailu themseUes felt In each of these
specialties , Computed with last night , corn Is
! higher , and provisions ranged Irregularly
higher to a limited extent.
While no rain wai In sight In Kansas , It was
repotted freezing In Dakota and Nebraska. It
was rumored that thu Missouri state crop re
port had been made pulillr , limiting the wheat
condition 83 per cent and 84 per rent IncreiiM )
on the a\eitge. ; This all the time caused a
i canton from the top prices reached , but with
a lltm feeling existing. Tim leeelpts for the
last week \\eto considerably larger- about
80(1,000 ( bu.- and ( he export clearances were
smaller , so that no large itecieasc In the visi
ble supply was expected , pel haps 500,000 bu.
Corn was moderately acthe , but kept
within "ic range. The general ti lie was easier ,
with the e.\ceplton of a short .spell , when a
small degree of strength was de\eloped , the
action of wheat starting a few local operators
to covering. This demand soon became satls-
lled , howcM'i- , and a downwind tendency fol
lowed , oll'ellngs becoming more free , receivers
being Identified with the Celling side.
There was a fair tr.idlnu In i-ats , the greater
part being In the changing fioin near to dis
tant months. September was bought and .lime
sold at from 3Su' to 3'nC ' dltlerence. Prices
had a HC range and the close was at a net
gain of > , c.
The tiade In hog pioducts was larger than
fur several days past. This oll'erlngs of all
de-eilptions weie moderate and the Inquiry
from all sources was only fair. The market
opened stronger owing to the aihiincu In the
prices of hogs , but the prospect of nlarger
supply during the coming week tended to an
easier feeling and lower prices were accepted.
At Insldn llguies the demand Improved some
what , mainly to piovide for outstanding con
tracts and prices tallied again. The market
closed rather llrin at about ont.slde figures.

NKW YOUK , April 8. " The temper of specu

derbllt , Gould and granger s area were taken
freely by houses who usually transact busi
ness for leading capitalists Identified with
those properties. Prices advanced frjm H to
2' < percent , Lake Shorn leading with a rlso
from 132U to 134' . Thl t ck was favorably
all'ected by reports that thadirectors' meeting
early In the month of May , will disclose a plan
for the refunding of the h/g 'ur ' Intrest bear

capitalists and otllclals of r'a'llriKuU who have
the best means of jiidglni'bf the Increase In
'
earnings from that sourcH
The Vamlerbllts as well ns the ( Jonld people
are ciedlted with liberal' ' imrehasi-s of theli
respective stocks. The trailers turned scllcm
near the close owing to tins loss In the bank ru-
serves and the circulation of. rep iris that the

While the bank statement was disappoint

teracted by thu knowledge that the banks an

the reaso n that the Inllnx of cuirency wa >
heavy toward the close and that It old mil

the heavy cattlu have held their own remark

few of them have been ollered. Thu general

never been i oorur for this season of the year.
Feeders are becoming tired of looking for but

pear sufiielcntly remunerative to attract thu
slock whether In marketable shape or not.
The week closed with a fairly liberal run of
cattle and the general quality of the ollerlngs
lias not been excelled lately. There was an
IndlfTerunt tonu to eastern reports and the de
mand here from all sources was of a decidedly
IndllTereiit character. Prices ruled iium ! < iily
lower. A few light cattle changedliandsearly
at not far from steady prices , but the general
market was from lee to 20c lower than Friday
and very slow at that. The speculative In
quiry was unusually light , and buyers for
dressed beef houses were nil decidedly ami-
thellc. ( loud tocholco 1.25iMo 1,505-lb. beeves

draggen along through the entire day , but the
cattlu kept selling and \eryfalr clearance
was finally eirected.

Common bulls , oxen and stags weie also slow-
sale and easier , but fat rough stock was In fair
demand and s'eady. Sales were at from f'J 51) )

active , but about steady at the recent decline.
Common to choice grades changed hands at
from { 3 to5.5o.
There was ( mully enough doing In the
stockerand feeder linn to establish qimta-
tlons. 1'resh receipts were light and country
buyers few and far between. Very few Hades
were made , but these were on the basis of
about steady prices. Sales out of first hands
were mostly at from { 3.20 to { 3.75. Itepre-

this week wure somewhat sensational In thel
nature. After a 25c decllnu on Monday am
Tuesday the markut went thu other way am
advanced 46c and thu week closes with price

of last week. Onu causu of III
lecent sharp advancu was a decrease In ru
celpts this week compaied with last of nearly
KI.DDII hogs with aciirrespondlng falling oil''i
other markets. There are as many dilleien
opinions as to tlie f utlire i-mii seof the market a

thing points to a continuation of stiong prices
but present prices aru sttong , and tin1 ques

"There arc numerous preparations in the
market for coughs , colds , croup nud whoon-
iun couijti. Ainonu them wo wish to cull
vour spuciul attention to Chamberlain's
"CouKh Itomoily. It Is sold on Us merits.
This assertion is warranted by its s.ilcs ,
which surpass any preparation of a similar
nature. 1 hear nothini ; but praise from cus
tomers who have used it. " The above is
what Kujrcne I' . Unangst , the leading druj-
t of Uothlcbcni , Pa. , s-iys in u circular to
hta customers. lie has sold at retail ever
1.000 bottles of tills remedy during the past
year , and knows it to be without , an equal.
The praise that naturally lollows Its Intro *
ductlon and use is what makes it popular.
"ho original treaty made by William Penti
with the Indians will be shown in the Penn

this room. The old liberty bell will bo placed
on a handsome raised platform , surrounded
b.v a ( 'ilt railing , in the center of the rotunda
of the state building. The platform will bo
built on rollers so that the bell may bo rolled
out of the building in less than thrco min
