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

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. "

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.

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 ,

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

opened about Ihe sumo as yesterday's closing
and then prlcus declined Ic , rallied V : and

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

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

The provision trade was not up to former
days of thu wouk. Although thu board Hald

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

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.
