OMAHA TiATT.V AM MAY 9.V WRNTV I CONDITION OF OMAHA'S ' TRADE Weather Him nTonilonoy to Im prove 'Business , GOODS GENERALLY MOVING IN FAIR VOLUME Troipcct * ( Iroir IlrlRhter In the Country ni the Srnnon Adrniicc Mfrchnnts IPR Conaorvntlvnly lint Still Con fident of a 1'ronpcroui Year. C Good weather is always welcome nnd Us reviving influences seldom fnll to make nn Impression on business. During the past week the weather has been nbout ns near perfect ns ono could ask for and complaints about business being quiet have been less frequent tlmn last wcok. Business men liavo been talking In n moro cheerful vein nnd Imvo been inclined to take n , moro liopo- ful vie v of tlio ftituro of tr.ido , The nervous ness caused by the bank failures In other cities has disappeared nnd nil thoughts of nn Impending panic have been forgotten. Business with Jobbers has as a mlo been iluito satisfactory. There is perhaps not much gain over last year and nothing to brag about , but the majority of the local houses are reporting a good , steady trade that is fully up to what they had been led to antici pate for this month. Collections In the country are fnir and merchants generally 1 nro meeting their obligations with reason able protnotness. Country merchants nro , still disposed to buy rather conservatively nnd nro likely to continue that policy until crops nro farther advanced and It Is possible to predict with reasonable security a good yield. Omaha business men who have been out ' over the state report that the country is in ' pretty fair condition nnd that there Is every ' reason for expecting a prosperous year. Even with a partial crop failure there would not bo much to fear , as the farmers still have a good deal of last year's produce on hand and are better prepared to go through a bad season than they were at the time of the last crop failure. Grain Situation. The now corn c-rop so far Is in good condt tlon , the planting being generally llnishcd' In this state and thocorn -corn up In some sec tions , A good many are claiming that the season is three weeks ahead of last year and that the acreage is at the same time larger. Qraln men say that there Is twice as much corn in the cribs and a good deal more In the hands of farmers than ever before at this season of the year. Corn Is commencing to move moro freely In this stato. nnd it is predicted that the movement will increase from now on until the 10th of next month , when the now railroad rates go into effect. The advance In rates will bo 1 cent from Omaha points , "cents from Lincoln points , ! ) cents from Hastings points and 4 cents from Kearney i points. Cribbed corn , which dealers had. hoped would bo exempt , will have to pay the advance , which in cludes all kinds of grain as well Us corn. This will have a tendency to force a good deal of corn onto the market , which would otherwise have been held until late , and may thus assist in demoralizing prices. Many are of the opinion that there is but ono course for corn and oats and that Is that they must seek a lower level on the ground that the demand will not justify present prices with the present outlook. Some claim that wheat is legitimately worth moro than It Is bringing , but that so long as the available supply remains above 70,000,000 bushels there can bo little hope of a permanent advance. Foreigners will have to take a part of this load before much bettor prices can bo expected. Ilnnk Clearings. The bank clearings during the past week show a falling oft as compared with the past three weeks , but at the same time there was a very satisfactory gain over the correspond ing week of last year. The following will show the clearings for each day of the past week , together with the totals for previous weeks : Monday 11,319,545.55 Tuesday 1,042.339.40 Wednesday 008,547.95 ' 3 , Thursday' 949,1504.70 Friday 1,042,389.60 Saturday 1,040.200.17 Total . $6,368,027.72 TVc-ok ending May 13 . $7,145.040.01 Week ending May 0 . 7,322,987.70 Week ending April 20 . 7,205,447.2'J Week ending April 21 . 5,310,299.80 Week emllliK April 15 .

Flurry In Hunklnc Circles Illown Over The Trmlr Outlook. "This has been a remarkable week , " said Mr. W. li. Uobcrson , manager of H. Q. Dun | & Co. in Omaha. "Seldom has the situation been so intense among llnanclal people. For two or three Cays the llrst of the week wo scorned on the very vcrgo of a local panic , 1 though there was no hint of the exact danger I point. Apprehension prevailed and the con- i Ultlons added wrinkles and gray hairs to the Kneads of our strongest institutions. No man [ foresaw any danger or predicted trouble , but the dlfHculty was that nobody could ' ( jco beyond his nose into the future , ildml men of soundest nerves nnd recognized : Minaaclal standing were almost trembling. \ But the storm blow over. The ' U-lty of Lincoln caught a little of it nnd withstood It bravely. Every depositor at the Lincoln bank who demanded bis money was paid , and the situation was immediately relieved. "Confidence among the people in our Ojnaha banks was undisturbed. Bankers feared n stampede , but every institution in the city was prepared for an emergency , Und it is safe to say that any mete Of them would have boon able to satisfy depositors had iv run been started , The Announcement in this column of trndo talk a wcok ago that the national banks carried on an average nearly 47 per cent of cash to meet obligations took root in the In- telligence of the community nnd relieved everybody of nil fear so far as these Institu tions wore concerned , and the wild rumors by which some malicious persons sought to injure two or three banks were passed with out comment or effect. "It is to the credit of Omaha and the fact is once moro emphasized that her banks are conservative , substantial and well managed. 1'anlcs in times past have broken without effect on her financial centers and this per tent of disaster goes Into history without or.an Omaha victim in any branch of trade. P "Tho week closes with the banks possessed of money sunicicnt for all legitimate needs , though they are not carrying such a supply us to iwarrant calling the market easv , They are taking caroof deserving customer's , however , though not falling over each other to accommodate Individuals who go cast for inouoy when rates rule low and leave their homo banners to spot their money as bust they can , "Jobbing trade in the aggregate is larger to date than tit the same period for IbVJ , showing a coat inuod healty state of affairs in the territory tributary to the city , Col lections were bad for the llrst 'four days of the week , but visibly improved for Friday und Saturday In several lines. The boot > and shoo men are out taking orders now and experiencing a lively trade. The dry goods lucu complain u little about collections , but > say orders are heavy. Sumo is true of hard- wart ) , whllo groceries are in larger demand. Millinery nnd several other lines port iradu dull and Hciuors and liquor Ions are clear off. "Iteports from our travelers in the i in * terior Indicate that times are fairly easy ! , At Beatrice banks have larger deposits than a year ugo and heavier discounts. At Fair- bury the gains in thesu items are about equal. The deposits In Beatrice a year ago were tl .284,004 : on March 0 , 1893 , with ono now bank. $1,888,105. Loans and discounts , March 1 , 1803 , IMW.IBT , and March 0 , Ib93 , | 1,4W.U10. The situation U unchanged at this tlmo , Loans have been restricted somewhat In both On go nnd Jefferson counties , but there is little or no uncasl * ness. Trndo Is quiet , nnd dry weather has damaged wlicnt to such nn extent that much of it Is being plowed up and fields planted to corn. " I'ruduce Pointer * . Country dealers nro complaining very loudly nbout their inability to get berries on orders sent to Oinnlin , As already Indicated thcro have not been enough berries hero to supply the local trade , lot nlono trying to 1111 outsldo orders. Besides that the quality of tlio stock has been so poor that It would not stand shipping. John Stewart , once the butter king ot Iowa , wns in the city the past week ns the representative of the house of Floyd I , Sea man ft Co. of Now York. Mr. Stownrt is the man who gave the butter business Its start In Iowa. Ho established the first creameries nnd took the premium at thoCcn- tcnnlnl in Philadelphia. Ho is also said to have been the llrst to work up unsalted but ter. ter.A A company 1ms been formed for raising pineapples nnd other fruits nnd canning them for the market. Its cnpitnl Is $50,000 , every dollar of which has been paid In. For their enterprise Mr. Swift hns purchased 1112 acres of fruit land on the west sldo of Lake Worth and n force of men will at once begin clearing the land for the Immediate planting this summer of 130,000 Uiploy pines , 100,000 assorted of the choicest of imported varieties , and 25,000 assorted tropical. Only the finest kinds will bo planted nnd the com pany will have at least thirty acres In the ground the present season. An Irrigating plant is now being put In nnd the factory will bo commenced nt once. Thcro is not much to offer in the way of now features In the butter market. At this season ; of the year It Is especially Clflicult to glvo quotations that will servo to carry u CO impression to the shipper. An oo. ca . p.iekago of butter arrives and by chance is received in good enough condition to suit n local retail dealer and brings a high tor . If choice butter Is quoted out on the basls of such salca then every party that ships choice butter expects that prlco. The weather , however , is so warm that even good roll butter Is so mixed up when It ar rives that the most of it 1ms to bo sola to the packers : and at packers' prices. A shipper sending m country roll ought not to antlcl- Date receiving any moro than packing stock isPI worth and if It brings more than that price ho can count himself as lucky. PISI Branch & Co. have the following from Shaw & Richmond of St. Louis , which will bo cold comfort to the fruit men who have been having a rather dull time owing to the light receipts of berries : "It looks to us as if from now on berries will bo high. Arkansas is about done. Mississippi is done , Ken tucky nearly so , Tennessee will soon linish. The question is what will flll the gap , ns our Missouri fruit is Into , nnd will not be on the market until Juno 1 , with favorable weather. The southeast Missouri crop will not amount to anything this year , frost nearly ruined all. Everyone is looking to southern Illinois , but reports from there say that the crop Is injured by the cold weather , and that it will bo smaller than last season. Indiana , Ohio , the north tlT the west will draw heavily on them. The Missouri crop will bo smaller than last year < , owing to the cold , wet weather. The llrst ; blooms were killed by the frost , but ns the crop will bo lighter , wo look for the ber ries to bo larger. " .Tnmes Compton , nged 72 years , and Mrs. Vinson , 05 years old , were married one day recently near Louisa , Ky. , while on horse back. Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Thaycr of Brain- tree , Mass. , have bcc-n married seventy- four ( years , and are looking forward to the celebration of Thaycrdiamond wedding next year. cd At the latcsn English fashionable wed ding , that of the son of the duke of West minster , the list of prcsefits was published and annexed to it was a list of the "gifts to the bridegroom , " ' In Japan there are COS divorces to every 100,000 inhabitants. In the United States thcro are 83.71 to n like population. Switz erland has 04.49 , and Ireland has the Jowest divorce rate in all the world , only . ' 28 per cent. Carraway had eloped with Mrs. Buster , but later ho repented and went lilco a man toTJuster to apologize. "I'm awfully sorry. Buster , " said he. "That's all right , " said Buster. "I know you would be. 1'vo eloped with Mrs. B. Myself. " Mr. and Mrs. George W. Banbicn of Du- buquc , la. , celebrated the fortieth anniver sary of their marriage last week.

Daughters ; ters cannot bo supported at homo , nnd there is nothing thcro to busy them. The women used to spin and weave , make carpets and soap , but now that is done for them in the factories. Young men do not make enough S money to support their wives , and thcro is such a craze for dissipation among them that the women would rather go into a store for almost nothing than to marry , Member * Night at the Y.

The enormous Increubo In the bank reserve was looked upon [ as u bull argument , but the traders who are short took prompt measures to counteract Its effect nnd pornlsted In their sales , liuylng was considered bettor than the bellliiK. The losM-'H ' for the day were 54 to 2 per cent , outside of a few of the ( specialties. ubber , common , gained 21 } per cent , lllg.

The Post nays : The bank statement which was looked for with great Interest under exist ing circumstances proved to ho u complete puzzle. That there would be u gain In the ro- wrvo everybody expected , for the $2,600,000 gold exports \Yednebduy and Thursday which lixuro In today's htutement have been offbet by about $1.260,000 gold from the sub- treasury and a balance of something like t3.OOO.000 received on domestic exchange. Hut instead of the anticipated gain of nbout 12,000,000 casb , the banks report today no leu of nn Increase limn $7.691,000 , The only theory MiBftrstPd todny In uxptnnntlon wns tbM this dljcrcpuncy ctriscn from the dnposlt trust companies' fund < iimvloiisly wlthdrnwu In anticipation of the panic.

Assuming today's report , however , as sntbstntitlnlly correct , tlio renmrknblo features of tlio bank situation ro- celvo sllll further emphasis. In the fnco of this 17,000.000 gain In loanable funds , the nc- count of hank loans shows n shrinkage of nearly $4,00l,00 ) ( , nn extraordinary reflection ot the distrust urovnlllng In the money-lending community.

With limited supplies the first Imlf of the week prices advanced steadily , whllo during the past three days the market hns been very weak , uml closes todny fully lOc to 15c lo or than last Saturday. The close bond of sympathy between prices for hogs nnd prices for piovlslons , and their mut- unl dependence on buppllcs at the lending market centers wns never moro apparent than : it present , when the market Is high nnd nervous. Everything depends on receipts. Stocks of provisions are too low to admit of any serious decline in vulues with out big Increase In receipts. Kup- nlles nt present nro pretty much the bauionsayearngo nt this time , hut the un certainty concerning the prospective supply Is what Is bothering the trade. In this con- iicutlon the Cincinnati 1'rlco Current remarks : "The shortage In the supply of hogs the past winter Is traceable in a largo degree to the losses of pigs In the spring Inst year , Incident to wet wcntlior und other condltlons'of nn un favorable nnturo , and It Is notlcuiibin that re cent correspondence rollects Mmllar condi tions existing und appearing In many locali ties this season. This of course has no bear ing on marketable supply of hogs In the near future or for months to come , hut may have an Inlluunconntho trndo before cold weather. " The market today was very dull. Hecolpts , 5,000 head , were rather moro liberal than an ticipated , there was not much support from shippers and .speculators nnd fresh meatmen were very light buyers. Packers hnd It nil their own wuy , nnd although hogs were re ported higher In Chicago nnd provisions miner ( Inner , the market hero ruled slow with prices a big 5u lower than Vrlduy from start to finish. The quality of the hogs wns very fair ; welghtsdld notrun to o.xtreme.s , and In consequence thcro was n very narrow rungo of prices. Fair to good hogs ot all weights Hold at $7.10 and (7.20. with n (7.25 top for choice light und n (7.10 bottom for rough heavies. It was practically a $7.15 nnd $7.20 market , the big milk of the offerings Rolling at those llgures us ngnlnst 87.20 to $7.25 Friday nnd $7.25 to $7.30 on last Hatur- day llepresentatlvo bales : No. Av.

According to n Gorman doctor who has just published the results of a loncf coui-BO of experiments on this subject , ' the sight is rarely alike in both oyen. Ho llnds that only in ono cnso out of lUteon are both eyes in good condition , In seven cases out ot ten ono eye ia stronger than the other. In two cases out of five patients are affected witlv astigmatism , which may be dollncd asatt imperfect focusing of the light rnys on,1 toring the eyes.
