IV1 THE OMAITA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY , AUGUST 18 , 185)3- ) "Hank Clearing ? Show a Decided Decrease as Compared with Last. Year , COLLECTIONS NOT SO GOOD AS THEY WERE l.ocnt IJmlnpM Condition * Do Not Hhor. ' Much ChuncnSlncnn Week Ac" Jobber * Wnttltig for Imprornmant Ilolor * Attempting toruihlluilnes * . Tlio condition of the local Jobbing trndo cannot bo said to have ohangod much olthor for the bolter or wors'o slnco n week ngo. The great majority of the Jobbers appear to bo content to lot thing * drift along until there Is some show of a permanent Improve ment In the finances of the country before attempting to push business very hard. As n result there Is a deoiued falling off In the volume of business ns cpmparod with a year ngo/ The decrease In the volume of business nt Omaha has been no heavier than over the country at largo. On the contrary , there nro reasons for believing that the depression In business has bcon felt loss here than at many other points In the country. Trndo is dull , but there has bcon no financial flurry hero to demoralize- the business Interests nnd ns noted above merchants of nil classes nro letting things drift along until the general conditions governing tho. business of the country Is improved. C Collections nro not as good as they were a week or two ago and Jobbers report that some of the boat retail houses In the country nrowriting in nnd complaining about the dlfllculty of making collections and asking for nn extension of time. The local retail dealers are also complaining moro about col lections and they nro undoubtedly feeling the effects of the discharge of a peed many of their customers , who suddenly llml them selves out of work nnd without money to pay their store accounts promptly. Under the existing conditions the jobbers do not feel like encouraging the retail trade to buy liborally.but on the contrary they are keeping down tliu slzo of the orders In many rases to the most pressing requirements of the merchant. Out In the country wherever there Is n good Htand of corn the situation Is encourag ing , but in the extreme western portion of the state they have had too much dry and hot weather to make a largo crop possible. In sections where n short crop is threatened extreme caution is exorcised in all business mailers. Country Clicnks. Jobbers , commission men and others having business relations reaching out into the coun try are receiving qulto a good many com plaints as to the- action of the Omaha banks in Imposing n charge on all checks on Interior towns and the consequent refusal of Omaha business houses to receive such chocks In payment of accounts. Some country mer chants have taken the matter so seriously to heart ns to threaten to elvo their business to some other city whore their checks would IQ received at par. A good many of those complaining appear to think that this action is a raltcction on their personal credit or honesty , but In this they are entirely mistaken. In the 11 rat place/ the practice of sending personal chocks all over the country m payment of bills is pernicious nnd is not based on good business principles. In making remittances it is far hotter to use a draft , money order , express ordoror postal note. The use of personal or firm chocks tics up a great deal of money , from which neither the banks nor any ono else can got any benefit. Forexamplo if a check is sent to Omaha from Kearney on Monday it would bo put in the bank by the house receiving it on Tuesday. The house depositing it would , bo able to draw against 'it at once , but the Omaha bank would.'havo ' to return the check to the Kearney bank and would not rocolvo the money'for it before Thursday at the earliest. In this way the banks in the past have had a good many hundred thousand dollars tied [ up all the tlmo. While times were Hush the banks could stand it , but now the banks all [ over the country need every dollar that belongs - longs to them and they cannot afford to tlo money up in the form of country checks. Omaha business men say that country merchants should look at tlio matter ns one of the necessities of hard times und uot as a personal roilectlou on their financial stand ing. Omaha is not alone in this matter , but nil the loading cities in the west have been forced to do the snmo thing. Some country merchants appear to think that the Omaha jobber should receive tholi checks and pay the bank's chnrgo for col lecting themselves. If such merchants -will stop lo figure they will soon see that such a thing would bo a heavy tax oven on the firm : who sell largo bills. In the case of firms whoso business is ol such n character that they nro constant ! ) receiving n great many small remittances il would bo impossible for them to pay for th < collection of checks and continue in busl ness. Take for example the fruit men nnc oyster dealers who sell In small amounts shipping to the same home every day 01 every other day during the season nnd ro celving remittances the snmo way. Ilnnk C During the pas't week Omaha's bank clear ings have fallen off 30.5 percent ns comparoc with the corresponding- week of lastyoar This is n heavy decrease and shows boyom question that the shrinkage in the volumi of business is not imaginary , but an un nloasant reality. Largo as the decrease I ' It Is small as compared with the shrinkage iat many other western cities , which wouli go to prove that Omaha has really felt th depression in business in n lessor degro than many of Its commercial rivals. Kansas City has n decrease of f > 5.0 po cent ; Minneapolis. 43.f > : St. Paul , 50.8 ; Don vor. 74.S ; St. Joseph. ! 19.5 ; Sioux City , U3.t All these cities , which have been consld crcd among the most prosperous in the wes nnd northwest and which nro most frc ( juontly compared with Omaha , show large decreases in clearings than this city. A.S DUN HHUS IT , Clouds Still Uiirk , but ( Hint of the Katr him Horn In tliu Vir' SnttineHuiillRht , H. G. Dun & Co.'a Omaha manager 01 presses the folio wing views of the local trad situation : "Onuthn traveling men are not running u big expense accounts at present.

One of our largea houses sonl out l.S'mon August 1 , with th idea that perhaps full orders could bo taker but gave it up , and now the commorclu tourists of that concern are added to th lariro number 'at homo.

Taking It ns a whole , I doul very much whether the losses for Juno , Jul and August are above the average of goo years , This is partly duo to care in oxtcni ing credit and partly to the fact that salt have been restricted , "The bright side of the picture is I future prospects.

Klor.sto.id , manager of the Dewey & Stone Kurnlturo company , being asked con cerning their business , said : "While our business is not booming , still it is nil wo could expect nnd wo nro well satisfied. Wo anticipate a good business during the winter - tor , nnd I will glvo you my reasons. Wo hnvo an absolute certainty of the largest corn crop over gathered in the stato. It will exceed 200,000,000 bushels , which nt the present price of ! W cents per bushel would bring $70,000,000. Allowing $20,000,000 worth for homo con sumption , wo hnvo } oO,000,000 worth to ship out of the stato. Corn Is the most profitable crop a farmer can raise at the present price. Most of the northern states , as well n * Cali fornia , Oregon and Washington , depend on wheat for their surplus cash. Tito south depends on cotton ; Colorado , M6ntana , Idaho and the territories on silver. Wheat , cotton ana stiver nro nil at the lowest prices over reached , while corn , hogs and cattle nro selling nt n top notch price nnd the market for them constantly Increasing. Wo exported twice as much corn last year ns over before nnd will double it again this year. Australia. India , Egypt , Hussla and Hungary are all large exporters of wheat , India and ICeypt of cotton , Mexico and the South American countries of.sllvor , but wo are the only coun try In the world that raises corn , nnd Ne braska is the corn grower's paradise. Omaha , with these millions in corn , hogs nnd cattle nt her door , cannot help but bo prosperous the comlngyoar. "What wo need now is confidence in each other and an appreciation of our ad vantages Our banks nro in splendid shape. In no city In the world have they hotter or safer men nt the head of the financial institutions none of thorn speculators , but all conservative men , nnd I bellovo there Is not n bank president or director in Omaha today but would saciUlieo his personal fortune , if necessary , before n depositor would lose a dollar. Never has Omaha had such a splendid chance to make a name for herself. Kansas'City , Denver , Minneapolis , St. Paul , Milwaukee , Indianapolis and Louisville. , all cities of about our slzo , have had numerous bank nnd business failures , but Omaha has stood up nobly. If she goes through the balance of the season as well , and there is no reason why she can't , wo will have the confidence of the whole country. Millions will bo sent here to invest nnd wo will have an era of prosperity far surpassing our most prosperous - porous days. " FACTO It Y FACTS. Notes Concerning the AIoii Who Mnka the AVhcolg Go 'Hound. Robert Viorling , vice president of the Paxton - ton & Viorling Iron works , sailed yesterday morning on the La Champagne for Paris. Mr. Viorling was accompanied by his sister nnd will spend six weeks abroad visiting friends and relatives. While the business of the local manufac turers is nfTcctoa by the dull times the sumo as any other line of business the general prospect is favorable. The manufacturers ha\o many of them taken advantage of the lull in business to clean up and limb ) needed repairs which could not bo well done while the rush of orders continued. When ousl- iicss does r > ! vlvo the manufacturers will bo in shape to make the most of it. The W. A. Page Soap company have been making extensive additions to their plant during the summer. They have fitted up a room 110x80 feet for toilet soaps , and have employed an expert toilet soap maker and have put in the latest and most approved appliances for turning out the finest kind of toilet soaps. They will make fifteen differ ent kinds of toilet soaps , including the Mexican root soap which is attracting a good deal of attention of lato. In .the past the company has not paid much attention to the toilut soap branch of their , business , buf'in , the future they willpush' fasHvcll1 as the laundry soap department. They are figur ing with local manufacturers for 100,000 lithographed labels and 50,000 paper boxes. The manufacturers are considering the question Of securing space at the state fair to make an exbiblt of samples of their products for the instruction of visitors. Air. Holmes of the manufacturers association proposes that the management of the state fair set aside 100 feet of space In the merchants bulldtng.to boused for displaying the sam ples of , Nebraska manufactured goods. If the manufacturers association approves of the plan and the space is granted Mr , Holmes will request every member of the association to send him a line of samples and will arrnngo tbomand look after the exhibit. Ilo proposes by this moans to show the pub Ho where they can got supplies in almost every line from homo manufacturers. Such an exhibit could uot fall to help along the homo patronage movement and would bring the subject to the attention of a good many people. Omaha manufacturers frequently com plain of the dlftloulty which they experience in trying to sell supplies to the purchasing agent of the Union Pacific. The company appears to take it for granted that anything nuulo in Omaha Is inferior and they subject It to the severesttpsts and find all the fault with it that they possibly can. At the same tlmo it is claimed that the company's pur chasing agent will buy eastern goods on the market without question and without any tests. Local manufacturers only ask that their goods bo purchased when quality and price are equal to eastern goods , ana they cannot see any reason for n western road discriminating against western manu facturers. The action of the Union Pacific in this matter is in marked contrast to the stand taken by the Denver & Km Grande. President Jeffery of the latter road ia quoted by . the Denver Commercial Tribune ns saymg , "Our only way ia to keep wide awalto nnd stand together for the west. This should bo the sentiment of every business man In the stato. " In practical support -of the presl' dent's declaration Mr. liobbs , the purchas' Ing agent of the Denver & Klo Grande , has announced that henceforth all supplies for his company , so far as possible , will be bought of local ( Denver ) dealers. Ilithortc the company has purchased its supplies , in largo lots , of eastern concerns. Mr. liobbs says the company expects to pay more undei the now arrangement , but will not hesitate to glvo a fair margin to local men in prefer x- cnco to sending the money cast. It is tlu xlo sentiment of the officials that the company can well afford to sacrifice a moderate amount to assist local constituents. Omahti manufacturers' do not nsk the roads t < pay thorn any more money for goods thai they pay eastern manufacturers. All thoj nsk Is that their goods bo given the prefer oiico , quality and prlco being equal. COUNTKY IMtOUUCK A > 'I ) J'ltUITM. Trade neutrally Quint Without Auy Ver.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Pardrldf.o'a Short Line of Wheat is Bacom- ing Quito a Factor. WHEAT STARTED OFF WEAK AND LOWER There Were n Good Many Soiling Order * Karljr nnd in thn Sliortii Were Itnthor Scare * Tlioro Wan Not Much Demumt. CHICAGO , Aug. 13. Pardrldgo's short line of wheat is looming up as n factor In the mnrkot. Ho has had perhaps 700,000 bu. called from htm on each of the past three days , tie has boon & seller in the pit on bulges besides nnd is said to bo short 4,000- 000 bu. It is gossip that ho is fighting the advance tooth and nail. After a period of hcsitntion , duo to cholera talir , there wus another big bulge m wheat today , September closing nt an advance of J c and December gained lc. Corn is % c better , although the general rans must have greatly Improved the crop prospects. Provisions were very dull and nvcragcd easier in price , but closed at about yester day's figures' . Wheat started oft weak and lower , but soon tnado n sharp dash upward. There were a good many selling orders early ( and as the shorts had boon pretty well gathered In yesterday , there was not mueti demand. Later in the day confidence was restored by the fact that exchange was caster , being quoted at from par to 65o per $1,000 discount and the buying wns resumed , but v llh very little for sale. Shorts got'badly frightened and begun to climb over each other in their efforts to oven up , and the investment demand increased iu boldness and volume. W. H. Koam was nctlvo in bidding the market up. Cables , too , were stronger nnd higher , nnd the expert - port clearances were again liberal. The re ceipts at primary markets were nearly 1,000- 000 bu. less than the preceding week , nnd It is calculated that 'the ' visible supply will show a fair decrease , while in the corresponding spending week a year ngo there was an increase - crease of 2,174,000 bu. The oponln ; was nbout from % c to § o lower than yesterday's closing , fluctuated within a small range , nnd then advanced % o for September and J c for December , cased oft from. Jrfc to tfc , then rallied sharply , prices advancing SJJfo , clos ing llrm within j c of the top. If any one in the corn trade had predicted n week ago that the market could bo put up loin one hour in the face of good rains over nearly the entire corn bolt , ho would have been put down as a lunatic. That is what occurred this morning. Cash was In urgent demand ; , shippers taking all the offerings , which were qulto light. It was difficult to obtain round shipping lots nnd the prices were bid up and averaged from J c to } higher than yesterday , which in turn af fected speculative values. The better de mand was duo to the bettor prlco of ox- change. Opening trades were at a fractional loss , nnd sold off afterwards % o more , rally ing later on l } c. changed but little , and at the close had gained from } fc to J c. Oats started out slow and prices receded from } c to % o from the opening. Later trading Increased , and ns wheat and corn advanced oats sympathized and prices ad vanced % c , and the market closed firm at about the top , with a uot gain of } o for the day. day.Tho provision market was almost stag nant until n few minutes from the close , when Armour & Co.'s brokers were put into thn crowd to bid ribs up , which they did without the necessltyof buying many. Freights were slow and .rates unchanged. Estlinatodoreceipts for Monday : Wheat , 115 cars ; corn , 380. cars ; oats , 210 cars ; hogs , 20,000 head. The loading futures ranged ns follows : Articles.

Sales of railway and miscellaneous stocks today aggregated only 51,035 shares. At the opening the market was very irreg ular , a few stocks showing declines and others advanced , but the changes outside of American Sugar and I ckawattna are small , The failure of the Commorcl.il bank of Brooklyn , a small state bank , had little or no effect. About U o'clock a fair de mand sot in for Chicago Gas , St. Paul , HOCK Island , Burlington & Qulncy nnd Lake Shore. The market hold tolerably firm until the publication of the bank statement which was uot favorable. The banks lost $2,713,000 iu cash , expanded their loans $3,078,000 nnd decreased their liabilities $741,700. This showing created n bearish feeling nnd a general dcclino followed. Northern Pacifies were particularly weak. London and Berlin had selling orders in the stock. Northern Pacific preferred dropped from 21Jf to 18J and the common from 7 } to CM. Union Pacific was heavy , declin ing about 2 points on the applica tion for a receiver for the Union Paclllo , Denver & Gulf. The general list foil % to IK l > er cent. Among the specialties , United States Hubbor preferred declined 7 to 70 : Consolidated Gas. 2 } to 102 > ; Nashville & Chattanooza , ! 1 to 50 ; Northwest pre- ferro'd Jumped 4J.f to 135. Just previous to the close there was a rally of small proportions , but the tone of the market Was rather weak. The Post says : Coming as it did at the close of a week of so sensational develop ments in the monov market , the bank state ment was awaited today with peculiar In terest. To the average observer Its figures were a profound disappointment. With nearly $14,000,000 gold received this week , according to the custom house llguros , front foreign countries , It was naturally expected that the clearing house banks' reserves would show a heavy gain. But they did not , on the contrary the bunks reported an ac tual loss oil specie alone reaching to $2,30. ) , 000. 000.There is' but one possible explanation of this seeming anomaly , and that is that the banks , on their own account , have not re ceived and hold the imported gold nt all. The specie bought in England and Germany a week ngo has clearly been repurchased hero at a premium bv savings banks , trust companies and private linns or individuals. Yesterday's incidents in the tlmo money market gave further evidence to this effect. Money wns loaned In large quantities nt 0 percent , but the banks were not , the lenders. The money came , as Is now well known , from trust companies the natural machin ery to be chosen by private pursohasors of imported gold , since a lender can keep per sonal control of the money in a trust institu tion ns he could not do in banks.

At other markets conditions have boon much the same and whllo receipts have boon rather lighter than anticipated , they have boon none too light for the good of the market under existing etroutnstnnccs. Speculative shippers have been compelled to suspend operations al least temporarily , and while the dressed beet men have done about all the buying , they have needed enough cattle tlo to keep prices advancing right , along. Closing prices for the wonk , nt Icnst on desirable killing grades , are SSSc to 8 , " > o higher than the close of last weok.

There were several strings of good Dakota and Wyoming grassers on the market weigh- liur from l.lfW to 1.270 Ibs. They mot with n good demand and a ready sale at around $15 ! ! ! mill SH.uO. It was a , good lively mtirknt throughout and by noon tlio offerings had all left llrst hands. The cow market was also active and some what stronger , supplies being light and the demand very good. Choice to fancy cows nnd heifers brought from J3.75 to $3.25. Fail- to good butchers' cows brought SI.83 tn S3.B5 and poor to fair eanners $1 to SI.75. Calves at SU.25 to $3.50 were about steady and bulls and stags ut $1.15 to $3 showed no improve ment. In stockers nnd feeders the volume of trailing was not large , but prices showed no particular chance. The stringency in money matters Is being felt hero more perhaps than in any other branch of the trade ns con ditions were never more favorable than now nnd under normal conditions a heavy ousiness might bo expected. There is plenty of old corn in the country nnd a fair crop already assured. Even compared with existing fat t-attlu values , feeders are cheap. Both sncuulutors and prospective country buyers , however , are hammered by the scarcity of cash and the trade languishes. Gooa to cholco feeders are quotable at $2.70@3.00 ; fair to good at .50@3.70 , and common stuff ut f2.0u ( < J2.r.O. Representative sales : DitEHSKi ) IUIH. : No. Av. 1'r.
