[ JOBBING TRADE BETTER THAN LAST YEAR j No linimrlniit Pratm-m Devi-lopril In Trmlo Clrelrn During tin1 VintVcpk l.nciil Hn- lcrprlse of All Kinds llrlil Hack by tinI'uld niul Illintcry Weather. The weather of the * past week has"hoen such that vcr.y little activity coulil be ex pected beyond the supplying of the actual necessities of trade. There could bo no great activity or rush In business circles with the weather so cold as to make It ills- luivcoablo to be out nnd with the wind at the mio tlmo blowing' so that n inun could ii I'JIy Itccp his feut. Prom nlniost nil parts Df . , ' state come reports of bail weather nnd n eni.Heipucnt dull trade. Under the circum stances It is saying n good dual to report the jobbing trade of Omaha us fair. In some parts of the state there have boon rains that have relieved the fanners and merchants of any fear of Immediate damage to the newl.v planted crops. The dry weather hns had more to do with making trade quiet than all other causes put together , as the country merchants will not buy frcclv if there Is any danger of n drouth. A reason- nblo amount of rain at tills time would bo n great help to all lines of business besides doing good to the fanning interests. A j < 'ar ago at this tlmo the business of the state was suffering from too much rain. which kept the farmers at home and mailo trade with the country merchants vcrv slack The continuance of the rainy weather during May caused n fear that the farmers would bo unable to got In their corn crop and consequently tr.ulo was quint. Thus far Oils month the volume of business Is generally reported in excess of the correspond ] ! ! } ; tlmo last year , which Is upon the whole quite satisfactory. The local retail trade llko the wholesale. trade has suffered from the unfavorable weather and Is generally reported quiet by incrclinnts. The bank clearings show a very decided InoreaRO over the same week last year which would stem to Indicate Unit there is some improvement in the volume of business that is being transacted. In the whole list of clearing tiouso cities there are very few that can compare with Omaha in the matter of increase in clearing. * . St. I'aul barely holds up to last year's mark nnd Kansas City shows only about one half of the gain made by Omaha. At the time of the last call for statements of the condition of the business of the national banks 'I'm : Bin : published statements of all the local banks , together with a summary. Keports have Just come to hand from the comptroller of the currensy of the United Sta'os showing the condition of the national banks of Nebraska , as given at the time of the March statement. There are In Ne braska 1UI5 national banks outside of Omaha and nine in Omaha. For the purpose of showing the relative standing between the banks of Omaha and the balance of the state the following abstract from thu comptroller's ronort Is given. The column marked Ne braska Includes the totals for all the na tional banks outside of Omaha , while the column headed Omalm gives the totals for the nine national banks In this city : IHNOKItCKII.

FltOM DUX'S STANDPOINT. Bonn , Krrciu I'llllnres Considered llute nt lntt-ro t In Dunlin Too lllili. MrV II. Itobor.sou. Omaha manager of 11. O Dun it Co. , spoaktiiK of local tr.ulo says ' The three recent failures In Oduln should not bo taken as an Indication cither of an unsatisfactory condition of trade or of a lack of capital or business ability among wholesale dealers generally. Thodimculty In each of the ihreo cases was , anomalous as It may Bceiu , too much business. It would bo bet ter to say that the linns mentioned under took to do inure business than their capital would carry. They were brought Into com petition with linns having abundant means and necessarily were compelled to RVU | their customer. ! the customary tlmn. Some times these customers were slow and this hampered the local houses whoso ability to pay their bills depended UKUI ] Iho prompt- iit-ss with which their imvu. customers met. obligations. It is to bo regretted that these /allures occurred because they glvo out a linit impression of the city , whereas the fault is altogether with the Individual linns Involved In the failures. On the. one slue among eastern hcuscs Is a tendency to tuko too much risk , and OH the other tte. un fortunates In this case , an attempt to do business without the necessary facilities. In the lines represented by these houses trade IsKCtierally good. Indeed , It is prolltablo to these establishments which are able to do business ii | > on business principles. "This leads mo to remark that throughout the country the banks at trade centers are expected to curry local houses clear up to the danger | > oint , and lu many instances they overstep the line of perfect safety in their cagerr-css to accommodate customer * . reform h needed iu this particular Hanks are usually preferred creditors and their relation * with their customers nro such that they are usually xvcll . Informed as to their llnanclal condition. In consequence quence when trouble comes they are In IK- sltlon to protect themselves , while- the mercantile creditors are * left In thr lurch. If It were | xS3ible to rcoulro all persons doing business to Illo In some public place of record a statement of tholr assets and liabilities , sworn to. under severe - vero penalties for fraudulent representa tions , credits would not Involve so much risk. As It Is , under present conditions , the banKs havo-tho Inside Information and , as n rule , faro better than any other creditors of fulling establishments. " 1'erhups It is entirely proper for mo to say In this connection that Interest rates are too high In Omaha. Men doing business In ordinary lines of trade cannot afford to pay H and 10 per cent. Of course they should not ho In position whcro Interest is necessary , but If all thu trade discounted hills nnd no merchants borrowed moiioy banks would not In ; prolltablo. Competition Is very sharn In every line represented In this clt ; . Kleht per cent dividends are considered very good If paid by tncrcunlilocor | > oratluns , and yet the same corporations Iwrrnw largely from their banns and pay 8 to 10 per cent for short tlmo loans. I am uwuro that In the west 8 per cent money Is considered cheap , but I am also aware that conditions In the west are rapidly changing , and that houses that a few years ago could afford to pay 12 per cent ought not now bo obliged to borrow money at a higher rate than (5 ( percent. If there were ICES risk ittendant upon our local .system of banking , whcro one-man paper Is the rule , It would bo easier to Induce the banks to loan on a 0 pel- cent basts , "One of our local bankers shipped * 100,000 in gold to New York within the last ten lays and that banker is by no means ilarmcd a the otltllow of gold to Europe. ! Io regards It as a proper and necessary con- litlnn which will right itself in due time and would occasion no disturbance In llnanelal circles whatever except for the newspaper mil iKjlitlcal discussions which the gold question arouses. "This week has been quite satisfactory to the wholesale districts , but retailers have licon by no means happy. The cold weather nnd storms of the week have brought re- taller trade to a standstill , except among dealers In tublo necessities. " 1 notice In passing about the city that tbu empty houses are rapidly tilling up and I am satisfied that since the severer weather of the winter hundreds of people have rutiifiicd to Omaha and hundreds of now citizens have come hero to make this cltv their home. On one short residence street where 1 happen to bo well acquainted there were thirty days ago six vacant dwelI I lings. Today there is but ono and that n vor.v undesirable cottage. I am told that iho situation is very similar in all parts of the city. This Is an encouraging fact in which retail dealers and property owners may take com fort. "Tho announcement Is made by the news papers that the Nebraska Central will not abondim Its purpose to construct the bridge and own and conduct terminal facilities In this city. It is to bo hoped that the work which that corporation proposes to begin May 1 will be backed by the necessary capital to assure its ultimate success. Omaha needs nothing now quite so much as two or three big enterprises , hacked by abundant capital , and bent upon doing some thing which will make money for the r-ro- motors and stimulate business in the city. It would glvo u splendid tone to trade in Omaha and add to the stu iding ot the city elsewhere if it could be known that In the next thirty days the Nebraska Central was a fixed fact , the union depot , was again under way , moro money was to bo oxpendo.1 In stroct Improve ments by thu city this ye.ir than ever be fore and that the building trades were all busy again. "It i.s significant , too , that renewed promise of prosperity should come at a time when the new Commercial club was fairly on its feet and in position to push on any anil all enterprises directly benefiting the city. Knowing by personal observation what these commercial clubs have douo for other cities I have the utmost confidence In the advantages to be derived from its organ isation. " FACTOKV I'ACTS.

The work of preparing for the coming ex position Is consuming all the sp..ro time of the manufacturers of the state , and that is alwut the only subject that they will talk about outside of the regular routine of busi ness. Although it is still a month before the doors of the exposition will bo thrown open to the public , the details connected with the exposition have been nearly all arranged and the majority of the manufacturers have already decided upon what they will exhibit and are preparing to carry out their plans. There are a few who are behind in applying for space and determining upon plans for their exhibits and they will bo called upon the first of the week by the hustling commit tee and urged to make a move bcforo It Is too late. late.V. \V. Ij. May of the State Fisn commission Is taking great interest in the subject of making an exhibit of live fish at the exposi tion in addition to thu regular manufac turers exhibits and it is duo to his promise of assistance that the manufacturers have appropriated $ Ti)0 ( ) to bo used In building tanks lor the llsh. There will bo on exhibi tion all the different kinds of native llsh be sides a good many other varieties. The railroads have agreed to return free all the goods that are shipped in for exhibi tion and they will probably grant a half-faro rate during the time that the exposition is open. Traveling men who have been out through thu state report that the retail de.ilers of the state are taking a great deal of interest in the exposition and that a great many of them will attend. As there are auout ! ! 00 officers and delegates of the State Huslncss Men's association who will bo given tickets to Omaha and return there i.s every promise that the attendance of business men from out through the state will bo largo. in relation to the bringing in of the dele gates to the St'Uo Business Mail's associa tion the Manufacturers association p.isscd the following at their last meeting : Whereas , The State Iluslnoss Men's associa tion has about concluded that It will not be advisable to have their annual convention this year , and \Vhuieas , It seems advisable and also Im portant to the jobbers us well as to the Man- iifactinei-s and I'nnsiuiiers association of Ne braska to have a largo delegation of Iho re tail dealers , it ibu state ineut , with us during the annual u\p.isltlon to bi > held In this city during the month of May , therefore bo It ItesolM'd. Thai the Manufacturers and Con sumers nsso.M'illon having appropriated the sum of $301) toward raising a fund to bring said delegates to thu city that thu johh.'rs and other dtli-cns be requested to contribute to said fund. Secretary Holmes of the Manufacturers association has gone to Denver to examine the electric fountain which has proven such a great attraction In that city and which hits been visited by thousands of people. If it Is found to be practicable it will bo duplicated at the exposition and doubtless will prove ono of the most attractive features as .nothing of the kind has ever been seen in this part of the country. The street leading to the Coliseum build ing Is being graded preparatory to belli ; paved. The work Is progressing very slowly and It looks very much as if the street will bo all torn up during the exposition and In a condition that will give the visitors any thing but a good Impression of Omaha. A Hint to World's I'alr VMtor.i. A prominent citizen of Scales Mound , III. , while in Chicago , . was taken with violent choleric pains and dlarrhu > a. Ho took blackberry brandy three or four times with out relief. Ho then secured a small bottle of Chamberlain's colic , cholera and illarrtuua remedy and upon taking one dose the pains it Isa Plica red and the second dose cured the ularrhua. Or. II. M. fowler of Scales Mound , i.s our authority for the above state ment. Visitors to the World's fair should procure a ' ' ; " . cent bcttlo of this remedy. Where U Mniht'r ? The whereabouts of Mr. C. W. Mosher seems to bo only a matter of conjecture now Some say ho Is still at the Mlllard while others assert that he has departed for Lin coln. Ho Is In the custody of Deputy Mar shal Hubbard , however , and MarshaliWhltu says ho will prvilucQ him at any stage of thu game when the court calls for him. Mr. Moshor did not plant any trees yester day. He has planted so much that never came up that no decided to let ono Arbor day pan without trying his hand , COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Led an Advanoa in the Grain Mar kets Yesterday. THERE WE = ? E LARGE BUYING ORDERS ( 'jrn nnd I.it * Worn I'lrnipr nnd Higher , Tartly In Sympathy with U'hnut , but Duo Also tu the llrtilViitbcr. . OiiiCAfio , III. , April 22. Wheat led an ad vance In the grain markets toilav and for the first time In many months thu bull Inspirations came from thu forok'ii consumers. There weiu large buying orders from abroad received at this and other pointswhich today's advance prevenlud being ( Illed , however , holders -ink- Ing'Jc moro than they would have accepted yesterday. July wheat closed at 74 * e sis against 73' c on iho day bjfore ; M ly was re markably slow and closed al 72'ic us com pared with 73c yesterday , ( 'orn and oats were firmer and higher , p.irtly In sytnp.Uliy with wheat , hut du also to thu bad weather. Pro visions were dull and elosjd slightly lower than yesterday's dual prices. While the buoyancy was somewhat checked by the llnanclal outlook , the feeling seemed huttorthan yesterday In this respect and thu bank statement win regarded as favorable. Theclliiuo was again doing a good deal of buying , but Logan , Schwartz-Dupuo , Kennott- Ilopkliis , Armour and others also bought freely. P.irdrldno was a sutler , and th.-ro was seatteroil suiting generally against calls. Cables were higher and continental markets were said to b ? excited , with Paris from 1'if to2f higher , and llarlln 2 marks higher , due It was said , to the Increasing seriousness of thu bad crop outlook. At home there were rains In Kansas and the storms In Iho northwest have put an embargo on all farming operations. It was asserted that see'dlng would bo pul off t\v.i or throe weeks , making the harvest Into and Increas ing the danger of the crop from hot winds In July , or early frost. A keynote to the market , was a dispatch from Prime , which read : "Crop conditions are In doubt , and Indications of disastrous results of late storms on wheat , oats am1 trull ; farm ing operations lirou.'lil to a s.andstlll. " The effect of ail this was to stimulate ac tive buying and there was liltlu for sale : nearly all domestic markets were higher than Chicago , and Now York reported Hi" bust con- llm-ntal Imyliu' there than for a long lime. The Indications are a decicasu of about 1,1100,001) ) bu. In the visible supply. May opened about Ihe sumo as yesterday's closing and then prlcus declined Ic , rallied V : and thecloslng was about < { c louur : July opened from 'lc to 'ec higher , ruled llrm and prices w'oiu further advanced 'so , helfl steady and the closing further advanced' e , hold steady and tliu closing was about lac ! higher than yesterday. Kxpoctatlon of an Immovable market today Indicated by tin-trading in puts and calls was doomed to disappointment. There was no life In the trading during I he first t weh cor l only minutes. I'luctuatlons during that time were covered by from 1 l-lliUI ' , c per bu. Hut when wheat showed such unmistakable sl ns of going higher , Iniylinc orders came in for corn In sued volume as to jostle ll out of Its narrow course. New York sent many of the Inlying orders through llalitwln-l''arniim and Walker & Co. Uecelpls weie small only MM cars where 135 were expected. There was some Inquiry for spot No. 2 for shipment , anil one lei of 70,000 liu. at least was taken by a shipper who gave May In e\- eliaiiLe. Inn al what nicmium forth.1 latter was not made public. The market elo-ecl .stiong at about thu best prices of the d.iy , a gain of from 'jc to c compared with a gain of from 'iito V hist night. There was not a heavy trade done In oats , but the market was helu llrm In syinp.tthy with wheat and corn. The orders from out side weiu light. A g ted many baa crop re ports woru In circulation. Thu cloo was al outside figures with from V to ' 'jiadvance. . The provision trade was not up to former days of thu wouk. Although thu board Hald llO.OOOIiu. for next week , them were private estimates of 120,000 bu. to 130,000 bu. These were the bearish features for the day. There was also considerable selling by those who protlted on Iho advance. There w.is only fair activity and at the close prlcus were al the medium figures of thu day. Compared wftli hist night , pork Is down 2' Jc to 5c and lard and rlhs from lie to 7'Jc. Ksllmatcd receipts for Monday : Wheat , 300 cars ; corn , 140 cars ; oats , 100 cars , hogs , 27,000 head.

Mr. Kdirecomb , representing I'.irker Bros , of Chicago , spent a few hours In the cltj on his way home from Smith Dakota. A. H. Loomis of Kurt Dodge. In . one of the heaviest butter and egg dealers in thu state , was In tne city durlne the week. The Kirsehbraun-llaskell Produce com pany will open it branch this week at Lin coln. They have secured quarters nt ISIIT O street. Work will commence In a few days on a new building adjoining I'cyrkc Hros. which will ho used ns a ciimmis.sion house. It will bo built and occupied by Uoeen Hros & ( ! o. I ) \V. Faulkner , ( lie potato man. has closed out the last of twenty cars of north ern seed potato . The stock came from Ked Klver valley , and has been sold mostly In Nebraska. Pie-plant is about as uncertain as any thing that Is handled by couimlssljti men. Only about a week ago it s ild on this mar ket as high as &UH ) and a few days later us low as $1.XI ( , then H advanced again. Some of the commission houses hero are in receipt of quotations Irom eastern houses that are printed on blotters. Thus the re cipient gets a fresh blotter every week and can study the market while blotting hia letters. Local fruit houses are in receipt of circu lars from the Merchants Fruit and Produce ) Auction company of Kansas City advising them to he represented by brokers at the auction sales which will commcnco oil April 1M. The spinach comlni : to this market at thu present time is from llalttmore and is re- .shipped from Chicago. It starts from Haiti- more iced , hut ice at this season is nut very long-lived and by the time it reaches Omaha considerable of the spinach is in had shape. An Omaha house is in receipt of a letter estimating that there will be soventy.Jlvo cars of berries to shin from V.in Huron anil Fort Scott , Kan. The vegetable and potato crop is placed at 1(10 ( ears. Last year Omaha handled considerable stuff from these two points. A representative of Oeorgo M. llibblo , who has been out in the country , reports that there are plenty of eggs. Out that holders luwo largo ideas of their value. A good many will not lot them go for less t ban ly cuts on track. He looks fora break one of hose nays and predicts that when it conies hose IM-cent men will fall over each other n their anxiety to unload. Commission men complain of the method if doing business adopted by some country hippers. It often happens that a conunis- ion house after buying eggs In the country Iocs not receive them because some one else uippcns to bid ttio shipper a little moro. 36mc shippers do not appear to think that , hey are morally bound to ship eggs after icccpting a bid if some other house-happens 0 bid a little higher baforo the eggs are de- Ivered. This Is the season of the year when the ommission men are receiving letters from : ho yam raisers asking what their kind of weet potatoes will bring. The answer is ilways about the same , and to thoe.Tuct that , hij appetite for yams Is , very poor in . this section of the country. Last year there \vero 1 good many sued ssveet potatoes shipped is far south as Texas , and if they will get into the habit of planting that kind of seed there will bo a market for their pota toes In this section. Messrs. Uingham & Son remark that while butter will bring as much it Is not eall.v worth as much as it was six nays ago , ns it i.s just M ) much nearer the tlmo when "nutter is hound to ho plenty and much lower. The butler coming to this market is almost entirely country roll and oven if it is Hi , > rotty fair shape when It starts U Is all nixed up by the time It reaches the market. It is shipped in cracker boxes and nil kinds of packages With every grade of butter , good , bad and hullU'ercnt , all in o u lot , . The way In which it Is handled accounts for thu fact that the great bulk of all the butter re ceived hero has to ho graded as poor , The most of it goes as packing stock nnd cannot bo sold to the retail trade .until after It has been reworked and packed In tubs. If country shippers would get into the habit of packing their butter in tubs it would reach the market In better shape , but If the.y were to do that they would pack all grades anil colors In one tub unit It would bo WIUVHJ than it is now. The California fruiteropovoryivhcroseems to bo good , with the exception of apricots , of which a small yield is predicted , says the Daily Produce liulletin. In Contra Costn county there will oe a largo crop If not dam- ngcd by winds nnd rains. All crops are late In Huttcr county. Tbe fruit crop nt present looks favorable , but apricots have been reduced to u half crop by the rains , in Tchama county the apvicot Is light , but other varieties will bo excollent. The out look for the fruit crop Is excellent In Sliasta county , with perhaps a falling off of aprioDts , owing to cold wc-.Uher following the blossom ing. In Fresno county there has been very heavy planting of orange , lemon , olive ami deciduous fruit trees. The fruit lives prom- heavy yield. In Kern county fruit trees nnd vines arc In good condition. The crops will bo enormous. The thousands of acres planted by colonists three years ago will bo In their prime. The outlook could not bo better. The crop outlook was never better In San Diego county. In Tulnr county the fruit prospects are good. As to peaches , prunes , pears , nectarines nnd apricots the yield will lie slight. Some of the farmers in Lamona , county complain that cold rains and hail of this week have been Injurious to fruit pros pects. Apricots are yet light in Ios Angeles county. The Indications are that the raisin crop will bo light , peaches also. The fruit crop promises to bo unusually largo in all varieties in Vole county. In Nnpa county this prospect of the Irult crop Is very ex cellent. Apricots will ho n short crop. All other fruit gives promise of a full yield. Kvcrythlng points to u most prosperous B'-ason for the fruit crop In Sacramento county. o D.Dl'llAKKE. II. I ) . It.XlllR l'V. , ( AS llO ) IS * I'rirs.
