The situation as regards business and
/Inanclal matters U certainly improved at
Omaha. This Is not saying that there has
been any great change or that business is
uctlvo or money easy t nueh Is not the case.
Business men are still -cautious and nro In
clined to feel their way stop by step and the
banks nro still holding onto their money ,
but the fooling Is slcadtly gaining ground
that we have Imd enough of this Inactivity
nnd that It Is time to mnko a move. With
this fooling , which is nothing but a renewal
of confidence , comes a natural Improvement
in business affairs. Morchanta are talking
nbout fall business and ttiorp is some evi
dence of buying for fall trade during the
past few days ,
The fact Is well known , to every business
man and banker that Omahn lias suffered
moro from anticipation than Irom any real
evil. When imminent commercial centers
all around us were ono after another suffer
ing carious financial reverses the business
community of Oinaua was kept in a constant
/oar , not knowing what moinont the storm
might break over It. The business
houses of the city , however , developed more
strength than anticipated , nnd ns tlio sum
mer was worn nway without any reverses ,
the fear has largely departed also , hence
thu hotter feeling and returning confidence
noted above.
It is the boast of Omaha that there is no
city in the country that can show ns
Btrong banks , that Is banks having
BO largo a percentage of theh
liabilities in actual cash , as was shown
by the recent ntatomonts. The. confidence
In the banks has boon so great that during
a'l the trouble with breaking banks in othoi
cities the business men of Omaha have nol
drawn out a dollar of their money from the
banks except to moot their obligations. Tin
savings banks have suffered a reduction o
their deposits , but largely from depositor ;
/ who have drawn out their money to loan a
4 a higher rate of Interest than the bank :
' ivould pay. Business men nro now waltinf
to take their cue from the banks and tin
moment that the bankers commence puttlui
out fconio of the money that they have pllei
up in their vaults nothing can prevent ai
immediate anel rapid revival of trade in al
lines.
A good many business men feel that it 1
time for the banks to loose their purse
strings and adopt a moro liberal policy ii
the matter of loans und thus help along th
revival of trade.
A very potent influence on trade is thi
.crop outlook which is very encouraging i
/ "ijlebraska at tne present time , anil as th
season is so fur advanced there is very littl
danger of any disaster between now an :
harvest. With a good corn crop busines
men have always experienced n good trad
nnd they eo no reason for the present sea
BOU being any exception to the general rule
This of itself would bo a sufltciont reaso
for thcro being a better feeling in Omaha.
As the Jobbers of the city commence to so
their way out they ore drawing no littl
consolation from the faot that there novt

Improved by It in the end. There is a na
ural , tendency for * the larger retail firm
throughout the state to buy their 'good
farther east , as they imagine that it give :
tlioui it hotter standing In. tho.pyos of thai
customers if the goods- are secured in U
largftb'astorn markota. With the coming e
close times these iirms do not fool llko goiu
down east to buy hand-to-mouth bills e
goods where in the past they have lal
in a whole season's stock at a timi
Then , too , eastern jobbers cannot affoi
to bo qulto as liberal in tl
matter of extending the time on bills , as the
are farther away and not so well prepare
to keep a close eye upon the course of event
Tlds naturally turns the attention of tl
retailers toward western jobbers with tl
result that business relations are opened i
between them which are over after co
tinned. The crop failure in Nebraska
2S'J1 ' frightened the eastern jobbers ( ii
jiiado them very cautious. While woste :
jobbers suffered a loss of business at tl
tiuio they gained a good many now ci

wo are unable to say but only Know that
is n fact. A goou feature of the dull tin
is that both jobbers and retailers hr

so that wo are hardly In n position to speak
intelligently of the situation. However ,
from the slzo of our mall orders and from the
general tendency of thingswo.would say that
the situation Is certainly no worse. The re
tailers have cut down their stocks and with
the least revival of trade wo must feel im
mediate results. Things have apparently
reached the bottom and they cannot long
rom'alri stationary , but must turn for the
hotter.
U D. iFowlor , Cashier Gorman Savings
llank The feeling is bettor and things seem
n llttlo bettor In Omaha. There is moro
contidonco among people nnd thn banks are
opening new accounts nnd a good deal of
money Is being placed on deposit. At the
same time thcro Is n good deal of money
being taken out for actual use by the de
positors or to loan to parties who cannot got
accommodations nt the banks. The fact
that wo have passed over so much of dull
times without serious results naturally
creates the impression that wo'must bo nearing -
ing the end. _ _ _ _ _
AS HUN SIU'.H IT.
MoannoM of n Man Who Oo lH Tlmoi
( lottinc Metier.
The Omaha manager of H. O. Dun & Co. ,
reviewing local trade conditions , says ;
"About the meanest thing n man can do in.
these times is to circulate unfounded rumors
alTcctlng the standing and credit of a local
business house or banking institution. When
this Is dona with nmllco aforethought the
Individual guilty of it la simply beneath con
tempt , and good people should tnko pains to
show their disapproval.
"This reflection Is based upon the knowl
edge that ono or two. perhaps thrco , citizens
have gone out ol their way to give currency
to some rumors affecting two solvent banks
in Omaha. Ono of the individuals in mind
has no moro sense than to vent his
spleen In this way , but , unfortu
nately , ho is so Irresponsible financially
that the banks cannot hope that
any proper punishment pun bo mbtod out to
him. There Is reason to believe that the
malice of part of this attempt originates in
an antagonism which is far too common
in this city between citizens of differing
religious belief. It is reassuring , however -
over , to bo able to state that the
rumors have failed to bring the disaster
which malignity hoped for. Both the banks
are stronger today than ttioy were on the
incinorablo lllth of Juno , and while the
falsehoods are annoying and to a limited de
gree damaging , they will full far short ol
their apparent purpose.
"Uninformed persons expected a repetition
of thoexcitement , of Juno 13 on or about
August lit when the sixty-day notices given
savings banks should mature. In this the )
have been agreeably disappointed. Every
thing 1s serene nt all the savings banks ,
Of 812,000 for which notice was giver
in ono bank only $1,100 . was called
for. All the remaining notices were volun
tarily withdrawn. At another , which re
ceived notices aggregating almost as much ,
the experience was similar. Only $1,5K (
was taken out and of this one account wn ;
for $700 , nnd its owner was leaving the
city. Nevertheless , sixty-day notices are
still given , and some institutions which refused
fused to resort to tins relief two months age
have como to it , thus vindicating the judg
raent of those bankers who thought it wisi
to stop tno run at the outset by making depositors
positors abliio by their contracts.
"Tlio bankers of the city very generally
agree that the bottom has boon reached witl
them. For the past throe weeks thori
i has been practically no decrease it
i their deposits. If the pcoplo o
Omaha would recover their sense :
and return their money , now hidden awa ;
In wood boxes and other out-of-tho-wa ;
spots about tneir dwellings or in safety deposit
posit vaults , in the usual channels of tradi
the effect upon local business would bo al
most electrical.
' 'Hope is expressed in banking circles thai
the pauk ol the. panto is now broken. Thi
iNow York reserve Is Increasing and gold i
returning. Individual ' cities are relylni
moro upon themselves nnd loss upon Wnl
street. The country has about con
eluded to resume business wlthou
waiting for action at Washington. Ii
fact the common people have never placei
much reliance on legislation as a panuce
for their fright. The small depositors hav
entire confidence in the country. Itlsth
banks they have come to distrust. Who
they see the reserve increasing and th
banks recovering they will not bo long i
following.
"Wholesale trade is good only in th
grocery lino. The failure of ono largo-hous
has divided its trade up among the othoi
hnd thus their average sales are equal to c
ahead of last year. In hardware the doman
for goods is only fair. In almost every o the
line trade is dull. "

CHICAGO , Aug. 19. Enormous export
clearances of wheat and an Improved Now
York bank statement caused an advance of
l'c in September wheat today , J ° of which
gain was still adhering to the market at the
closo. Corn , oats nnd provisions were dull ,
the latter extremely so , nnd price changes
were Insignificant.
Wheat at the opening was from ? 8'o to K
higher , cased off a trillo and
with some fluctuations prices ad
vanced * % c , closing stcaely. The experts -
ports from both coasts of wheat and Hour
were 1,100,000 bu. larger than the previous
week , and 2 370,000 bu. larger than the cor
responding week a year ago. From live
points the clearances of wheat were 500,000-
000 bu. larger , and of Hour 82,000 bbls.
larger than last week. The receipts at pri
mary markets for the week were iifiO.UOO bu.
smaller than last week , and it is estimated
that the visible supuly will show n decrease -
crease of nbout 750,000 bu. against
an increase of 3,522,000 bu. the
corrospomling week n year ngo. Shorts
were alarmed nt the showing and there was
moro doing thun of late. Realizing sates
took some of the edge out near the closo.
Good cash demand nud the upturn gave corn
a hoist. The trading was entirely between
put nnd call prices. The advance did not
exceed c.
It seemed ono long yawn In the oats pit ,
so dull was the trado. Prices wcro confined
to i c rangei and the market closed at lasi
night's figures.
Provisions were neglected. Pork was iif

The general cattle tnarkot has bo.cn very
dull nil wcok. At Chicago during the week
there was a aOc to 40c ilocllno und this , to
gether vrlth most discouraging experiences
of c.xportors.linpartod n very weak tone to the
tr.ulo. The market has boon almost entirely
without outsldo support , nnd the demand
practically confined to the dressed beef
trade , prices have tended lower on all grades
with the exception , perhaps , of tidy , fnt ,
light , dry lot beeves. These , however , hnvo
been too scarce to cut much of a figure In
the business. The supply of westerns has
boon comparatively small for this season of
thn year , and prices have certainly not been
such as to encourage wore liberal shipments
at this time.
Cnttln Trnilo FnnturoB.
Kecolpts today were hardly as heavy as
on lust Saturday , and seven of the 05 cars re
ceived were Kansas City Toxuns , billed to
Cudahy. Offerings were very largely
rangers of only medium quality , including n
trainload of Indian Territory cattle , about
the llrst good sized bunch of southern cattle
this market has received this year.- The
market -ns vary quiet. Good dry lot beeves
mot with a ready sale ut about steadv prices ,
1,150 to l , T)0-lb. cattle bringing * 4 to ? 4.25.
Ordinary 1,050 to l.'OO-lb. steers were barely
steady at around fy..1 ! and J3.83. Half fat
and grassy stock was weak anil lower , hard
to move at nny price. Some fair Wyominir
rangers , weighing around 1,100 Ibs. , sold at S3
to $3.10 , anil the en tire trainload of Indian
Territory cattle sold tor $3.35. H was a dull ,
weak traiio throughout , and there were
some very decent cattle in the pens at the
close. Common cattle are selling 15o to " 5c
lower than the close of last week , and are
in very poor demand at that.
The cow market has been In pretty good
shape all week. This is readily accounted
for by the limited number of western cattle
olTerod , which , ordinarily , largely take the
place of nutive cows at this season of the
year , and the small proportion of native
cows marketed. The demand has been
ciuito brisk and the light supplies
have changed hands readily at com
paratively good figures. Prices today
ranced from $1.15 for common cannera
to $2.75 for good fat cows. Desirable
butchers' cows are selling very largely nt
from S3 to $ 'J.40. The offerings of calves
have been fairly liberal , fullv up to the elo-
] iiamland , prices huvo shown little variation ,
! a cs today were from $1.60 to $4 for in
ferior to very good veals. Fat bulls ami
stags hao been quotably linn at from $ 'J.5 [
to 3.50 , but tough thin stock is slow sale al
from $1 to $2.
In feeders there has been a gradual stif-
foiling of values. A good share of the cattle
offered have come under this head , anil the
cheap prices have brought out the countrj
buyers. Thn hard times have a tendency tt
restrict ttio country demand , but mosi
feeders who are in easy circumstances nn
taking advantage of the situation hnd buy

The butcher bird that is familiar to
all ranches In Ctilifornin is considered
by tlio I'oroinost ornithologists us the
tnosit sugacioiiH blrel in America. Thomas
Olelham of Lordabur tolls the Sau
Prunuisco Examiner that hoboliovos it la
as cruel as it is Ha aclons. "I have paid
lota of attention to a pair of butohor
birds at my place for nix months , " saitl
ho to UH tbo otlior day , "and t have
learned many now things about tbo
luibitH of tbo peculiar butcher bird. A
pair of them have follenvcel mo wbilo
plowing for tbroo or four days at a time ,
watching and waiting for mo to over
turn a nest of Hold mipo. When I over
turn a neat they will pounce- down upon
the llttlo mice and claw and pock thorn
to death. Then tbo mouse carca8Hc3
are carried away to nome neigh
boring orange or lemon tree and
Hpikod upon the thorns. Tno birds buN
dom eat the mice , but kill thorn for
sheer love of excitement. When they
iiiui npiko n live mouse , or even a rut , on
a thorn , they llnttor about and ohattor
with themselves us if they had great
fun In seeing the rodents squirm and
twist in the threes of death , Hut I am
most surprised to see how strong butcher
birds are and what they can lift and lly
uwuy with. I have elton seen toads that
luul been impaled upon thu thorns of
the century plant upon my place and loft
to die , Tlio other morning I naw a
hutuhoi1 bird with a Biiulco fully a foot
long , lie had it by the back of the neolc
and How with it up into an orange tree.
lie then nailed the reptile onto u thorn
und sat nnd watched it. Ho let the
aimkii almost wriggle elf , when ho Hew
at it and would llx it on more llnnly.
Because these birds are dustriiutivo ta
gophers and ruts they uro eonsiderod tha
friciuls of the orange grower. "

Throughout Cochin , China , InToiujuin
and thu extreme east there is a very
venomous snake culled the "najuH , "
whose venom causes death in two or
three hours. Kvury year this snake has
been thu cause of dentil to 15,000 pevsDiis ,
It was evidently n matter of vust im
portance to discover an antidote and
this has at last been done by Dr.
Calmottu , a Paris physician and u pupil
of Puotour. Tito HuUituuoo is a sort of
st suit of gold , which not only acts medi
no cinally uftor the blto , but as a sort of
3h lo vaccine taken Internally it rentiers the
person proof against the consequences
of the nil Jan bite.
