It is no easy matter 'to satisfactorily ex-
f t plain llio condition of Omaha's jobbing trade
? for tho- reason that there Is such n wide
( variation in the reports mndo by the Jobbers
> themselves. On the ono hand thcro are
* . these who report the movement of goods In
n JobblnR way as slow , while not n few re-
mport n very satisfactory trade' with the
' volume of business In excess of last year at
r this season. Jobbers themselves have noticed
: this difference In the reports nnd ono of
'thcm rcmarlts that It would seem that trade
nt the present tlmo Is spotted. There are
' .BOmo sections of the country where the crop
R prospects have been none too good and
; where the retail dealers have been buying
j -very sparingly. It is only natural that n
l ouso having a good many customers In such
jnBCcllon should oxpcrtenco n duller trade
alian n Jobber who happened to bo fortunate
in having his best customers located In amore
moro favored section of the country.
A Rood many of the Jobbers in looking
over their sales for the past month notices
that there has been an Increase as compared
with the same montn of last year. In this
connection It might bo remarked that durlnp
the month of Mny last year the continued
grains had prevented the farmers f rom getting -
' . ting their corn Into the ground , nnd there
-were general fears of n crop failure which
) < cpt the volume- trade down to a very low
point , so that there would have to bo an In-
crcaso over last year or clso trade would
have to bo reported ns very light.
Itrokcra who keep In pretty close touch
with the Jobbers report that a good many
' even of the heaviest Jobbing houses nro pur-
' sulnp n very conservative course and are aet-
Ing as if they anticipated a light trade , oven
if thov nro not already experiencing it.
Some of them arc running their stocks down
to a pretty low point and are not buying as
freely ns usual. .
Traveling men who visit the loading cities
of the west generally rcuort that business in
n Jobbing way is better in Omaha than In
, any other western city. The cities on the
river both north and south of Omaha are
! complaining quite loudly about the dullness
of their Jobbing trade. While It is no satts-
faction to hear of dull trade in other cities ,
it is gratifying to local pride to know that
Omaha is at the head of the list of prosperous -
ous western cities.
During the past week thcro has been an
unusually largo number of visitors in the
-city. - many of them country merchants , who
vlmvo left good orders behind them ns pleasant
reminders of their visit. The hotels have
had the best week of the season and nearly
nil of thorn have had lull houscn.
The local retail trade is not , as a rule , very
active , although some houses have been
pretty busy. The week as n whole has probably -
ably been better In n retail way than the
average for the season , so far , ewiug largely
to the out of town trado.
In produce circles thcro has nlso been more
activity during the past few days. Country
butter , which cuts n largo llguro in the trade
nnd whioh has been in light receipt all the
spring , has commenced to move moro freely
nnd that naturally increases the volume of
business. The largo number of strangers in
the city also has some influence upon the
sales of produce.
Omaha's bank clearings , which show an
increase of 19 per cent over the corresponding -
ing week of last year , would seem to bear out
the statement of these who claim that business -
ness is better than n year ago. Astheclear-
ings have shown an Increase all the past
month , It would bo pretty safe to conclude
that the volume of trade for Mayof this year
is larger than for the same month of last
-year , though it is Impossible to determine
, from the clearings nlono the source of the in-
crcaso. ,
Omaha has. so far boon vc.ry. fortunate in
not being involved In any of the llnancinl
disasters that have shaken the credit of so
many western cities and soar as can bu
determined nt the present time th'ero Is no
likelihood of anything nf. the kind to como In
the future. Thcro U a general feeling of
confidence in the prosperity of the city and
surrounding country that promises to continuo -
tinuo and the most that business men an-
tlcipato from financial ulsturb.inces at other
points is a temporary decrease in the volume
of business. I'ho Now York Ilullotin as-
sumcs that the commercial agencies are
riglit in the belief which nil express that
the business of the country is on tno whole
in a sounder position than usual , and
with n smaller average of liabilities directly -
rectly connected with legitimatetrado. .
But every ono of the multitude of trusts and
combinations , having for their object the
monopolizing of the production and sale of
aomo article , have cnvolved enormous llabill-
tios. The breaking down of these comblna-
tlons , which might have been clearly foro-
sccn , lias involved a great number of Individuals -
viduals in severe losses. The curtailment of
oanson account of the outgo of gold and the
Unancial uncertainty has nlso borne very
sovcrcly upon western ami southern people
.vho have largo debts on real cstato , and it
s not unlikely that the losses thus resulting
mvo been far greater than any record of
'allurcs Indicates. It has been a season of
; cneral liquidation and 'settling , and while
t cannot bo assumed that this operation is
-.ll over , there Is some reason to hope that
* 'io adjustments already effected have
imtcrlitlly lessened the demand for further
iccommodatlous and the risk of further dis-

"Whoicsalo trade reports an Increase

rates.
"Tho State Business Men's association
which was in session In this city during tin
wcck , was attended by a number of vcr ;
brlght merchants from the interior. Ttiui
dlscusslons proved very Interesting , cspu
clally upon the topic of collec
tions. ami emphasized the importune :
of legislation affecting Nebraska col
lcction laws. It is two years before tin 1i
legislature meets again , but every organize
tluu interested in credits should tnko tmn
by the forelock and attempt to crystallz
tno sentiment into needed legislation , B !
that when the legislature again convenes ul
interests can combine for a reform.
"The Manufacturers and Consumers nssc
elation was somewhat discouraged by ih
want of attendance nt its excellent cxhibi
during its first week. The attcndanc
during the last week has been rathe
Doltcr , but still not up to rcnsunu
' ° expectations. Omaha people shoul
° brought to an nppreclatio
of the fact that unless they nro willing t
eupiKirttlits annual exhibit of Nebrask
products by their nttcndnuco other cities i
the state will como In and take away th
attraction. Had this particular oxpositio
been moro coitllally supjiortcd no deut

"A representative returning from the
Hlack Hills country reports business some
what slack In that region , but prospects nro
not by any mentis discouraging , and the old-
timers nro confident that nn era of prosperity
will shortly set In. The combination which
the Hills enjoys Is a hard ono to beat. The
mountains ara full of mineral awaiting do-
vclonmentotho foot lulls and plateaus afford
excellent grazing , the vallo.vs all possess rich
soil which yields great harvests when prop
erly tilled. The three Industries mining.
agriculture nnd grazing are complements of
each other. The mines consume about all
of the agricultural products of the section.
The grazing Is good throughout the year in
most localities , nnd the cOst of producing
cattle and horses Is reduced to the mini
mum. With thcso three elements as the
basis of its future growth there seems to bo
no reason why this section of South Dakota
should not bo great In wealth and In popula
tion. HU suggested by our representative
that while Omaha is represented in every
town in the Hills , yet Sioux City and Chicago
cage are permittee ) to take away a
larger part of the trade than they
should nnd that Omaha houses should
push harder for the business of the
Hills. As to credits In the Hills , It may bo
said that traders are cither good or bad.
When good they nro generally very good and
when bad , very bad. It Is comparatively
easy therefore to determine upon the ques
tion of extending credit in on Individual
case. ,

LIVES LINKED IN A STOKM.
Str.tngo Story of n Olsnstcr Wilch Ovor-
Arliolmocl n TCTIM Village.
I heard a pretty little romance told by
n drummer ycstordivy afternoon while
sitting in the reading room of the Gault
house , says n , writer in the Louisville
Courier-Journal. The rain began fall
ing and he. with several friends , wore In
a group tolling over their experiences
and recollections. "This is a very small
rain , " said ho , "but it reminds me
of a story told to mo this winter. 1 was
traveling in the southeastern part of
Texas and ono night f stopped at the
house of an old man named Leech. lie
lived almost at the mouth of the Sabine
river , where it Hews into the Gulf of
Mexico. Before retiring the old man re
lated to mo the romance of his life.
His wife satfby and listened with intent
cars. When a vigovous young man of
21 years Leech lived in a village near
his present home. His wife , then a
pretty girl , was a neighbor. Ono day ,
and that day was before the Avar , a tor-
rllic storm , such as visit Texas so fre
quently , arose and the waves of the gulf
Unshed the mouth of the little river on
whioh they lived until it swept away
almost every house in the village.
Nearly all the inhabitants lost their
lives. The wind was a cyclone in inten
sity , and ono woman tied herself with a
rope in the brunches of : v tree. The
young woman who became Loech's wife
was carried into the gulf anting upon
the roof of her home. Leech had known
her during his lifetime , but they
wore friends only. While the storm
raged ho ran from his house ,
whioh was swept away , and found
refuge In the homo of the young woman.
Ho climbed to the roof , and alone they
clung there until the storm had sub
sided and they wore stranded on a sand
bar only a few hundred yards from
shore. The storm was so violent and
their efforts to retain their places on thereof
roof were so great that they landed on
the sandbar with the scantiest attire.
13ut in the danger of the situation this
was little heeded. A boat was sent to
the rescue , but , thcro being only men
present , Ltfech would not allow any ono
save himself to take garments to the
young woman. They returned to the
shore , only to hear that all their roln-
tivep , like nearly every ono in the vil
lage , had lost their lives. The dreadful
oxpcrionco linked the lives of the young
couple , and in a short time ho became
her legal protector as her husband.
Near the scene where occurred the only
great event of their lives they have
since resided in peace , until , when I saw
them , their hair was almost white. "

CHICAGO , 111. , Juno 3. Wheat surprised
everybody todny by n remarkable exhibition
of steadiness.- The failure of Schaffcr ft Co. ,
bankerscaused n little slump ot He. llottom
was reached on July at the 08'ie mark , where
values stopped In a pathetic manner as If
walling for next turn , fluctuations of Uc
were tlio range until along toward the close of
the session , when the opposing forces In the
wheat pit had a sharp battle as to who would
dominate the close. AtGS'.ia the prlco stuck
until within two minutes of the close , when
the bulls put prices up inc. leaving the mnrkot
fairly llrm at GB'ic for July. . . ,
Throughout the session thcro was very little
trading , while nrcumcnts were plentiful. Ono
reason n sslgncd for the scarcely appreciable
olTect of today's failure of the pit values , M
tlmtScliairor'swns n private , banking llrm and
did nut come In direct contact with the com
mercial world us rouvesentcd by.tbo
Hoard of Trado. Aside from this , of
course , the natural bulls say prices nro
too low anyway. It wn * claimed that
at present rates , the prlco of wheat Is below
the cost of production. Vow , however , Seemed
to have thocnurngoof their conviction * . Iho
low price * , whlcli It I * said nro on a parity
with foreign markets , did not succeed In call
ing out much export Imslnoss , apparently not
giving much hone of any Important reduction
before the now harvest will begin to move.
The opening wns strong on tlio wet weather
nnd some export buying. Initial trades were
f rom Uc to te per bu. higher , but prices de
clined ? u , ruled firmer , and prices advanced
Vic , again eased olT , then closing from We to
We higher for July and ; > c higher for Septem
ber than the closing llgures yesterday.
Corn started at n trlllo advance over the
closing prices of yesterday , but under very
liberal oirorlngi , the market gradually worked
down ? 4'c , rallied fully ? e , ruled .stonily and
closed with from Uc to ? o loss. Tbcroiwas not
much stipuort to the situation outside of the
buying to cover shorts. Uecelpts were qulto
free.
free.Outs were traded In freely and a weaker feel
ing prevailed. Opening prices were tbo high
est and closing the lowest with a notiloss of
fie on Juno and from ! Se to Moon tlio other
months. The weakness was attributed to
sympathy wllb corn and the free selling ot
June by u shipping house Cotinsclnian & Co.

n- The cattle market the past week has bee
nJt. . about as unsntlsfnctory us could possibly 1
Jt.er imagined. Trices for beef cattle have decllni
on un uvertgo fully SOo and tbo moveme
lias generally been MOW with sellers uuxlo
iy uuU buyers ot all clutsei Indifferent. Tl
main ron on and Miotit tlio only rcn on for thl <
condition of niTAlMU the Mrlngcncy In tlm
money mnrkcU Rliuightercrs nnd cxportrrs
nro compelled to restrict their operation * n *
much as ixwlblc , and feodeM , on account , of
lack nt ready cash and Inability to borrow ,
fire forced to mnrkot their cnt tlo In large mi in *
bcrsboforo they are rlpo. ThU ae.'ouuts for
the present very liberal .itppllr- .
Today there were 8,155 bond received nnd
the market wrns In very bad shnpc. Kaitern
markets worn nil lower nnd with no ono want
ing cnttlo very badly tbo market hero flat
tened out wnrsothnn on any day of the week.
The drcsicd beef men who have been liberal
buynrs all week did not cnro whether
they got nny cnttlo or not , while
tbo speculative shippers gave It out cold
that they would n'most ha > o to steal the
cattle In order to lot tliom out whole in
Chicago. The general market was nbout ni
slow as It over got.s nnd prices ruled any where
from lOc to i6c lower on the best handy
fat grades to 15c tn 25c lower
on the half fat ntult nnd rough
heavy grade * , t'holco 1.250 to 1,400-lb. strcrs
sold at from M.70 to 14.00 , with rough heavy
floors n * low as f 1,25 and f 1,55. Fnlr to cliolco
071 to 1,150-lb. Rteorsat from (4,80 to ft.65
and poor to fair light and green steers at from
$3,80 to $4.20. The close found a good tunny
cattle unsold on which buyers could hardly
get a bid all day.
In cow stuff there wn * no change worth
noting. JTlio offerings were us usual light , and
local houses picked them up quickly at nbout
steady price * . ( Iood to efiolco fat cow. * and
hoi for * sold at from $3.00to $ I ; fair to good
butchers' cows atif rom 13.20 to J3.00 , and com
mon nnd canning grades nt from $2.15 to-.70.
rnlvr * were In nctlvodemand nnd llrm at from
$3 to $5,60 for common to choice stock. Hull *
and sings sold at fully steady priced from $2.75
to $4.25.
Aa Is generally the case on a Halurdny , there
was very little doing In the stacker and feeder
lino. The right kind of stock Is In nctlvo ro-
nucst , but common stulf Is hard to work olT ,

lions The fluctuations In hog values have
been frequent and violent. Heeolpts were
very unevenly distributed throughout the
week and this together with the uncertainty
In the provision murkot will account for tins
rapid ups nnd downs in values. Tbo tight money

money to speculate. Packers and butchers nro

compared with lust year of over 30,000 hogs ,

on the markot. The hogsuru still running

BTJBKIN POEMS.
Some Specimens of Verso by the Xow Eny.
lUh Lniircntc.
Though not classed as ouo of the Eng
lish poets , John Huskiii has produced
cousidcrahlo vorsc. lluro uro aomo ex-
ninplca : * *
"At the ago of 1-1 ho inado pilgrimages
with his parents to Skiddnro and Suow-
don , Uio Jungfrau and Mont Blanc , and
inspired by the mountain scenery h
wrote tlicbo lines :
I weary for the fountain foamlnc ,
For shady helm and hill ;
My mind is en the mountain roaming ,
My spirit's voice is still.
I weary for the wooJland brook
That wanders through the valoj
I weary for the heights that look
Adown ui > on the dalo.
There is a thrill of strange doligh *
That passes quivering o'er me
AVhen blue hills rlso upon the sight
Uko summer clouds before mo.
Like ether pools , ho somotimcs per
mitted his muse to dwell lovingly upon
the cliarma of- spring , and hero is ono of
the results , whioh ia nat without baautjr
Infant spirit ot the spring ,
On thy llcsh-plumed pinion bring
Snowdrops like thy stainless brow-
Violet , primrose cull ilium now
\Vith the cup of daffodil
Which the fairies love to 1111 ,
Ere each moon-danco they renew ,
With the fragrant , honey dew ;
Th-lng them spirit - bring them hlthoy i
Kro the wind have tlmn to wither ,
Or the sun to steal their dyes ,
To paint nt eve the western Bkiosj
Uring them for the wroiith of one-
Fairest , best that time hath known.
An extract from ono of his earliest
poems is of a moro serious turn :
That Great Ono whoso spirit interweaves
The pathless forest with thulr life of loaves ;
And lifts the lovely blossoms , bright In birth ,
Out of the cold , black , rotting clmrnel earth ;
Walks on the moon-bewildered waves at
Breathes' In the morning breeze , burns la
the evening light ;
Feeds the young ravens when they cry ; up
lifts
The palo-llppcd clouds among the mountain
Moves the pale glacier on Its restless path {
Lives In the desert's universal death ;
And fills with that one glance which none
elude ,
The grave , the city , and the solitude.
The latest of Mr. Rusldri'H poems wn §
written in 1887. The following la a a&ivi
plo of it :
Fishes In the Boa
Apples on the tree ,
AVnat Is it to mo ,
Uaby , whoso they hoi
In the little building erected especially for
the merchant tailors Is u blanket nude of
D.HUO pleccu of broadcloth , which represents
eight years of odd half hours of a Washing
