CONDITION OF OMAHA'S ' TRADE
Business in iho Wcat More Satisfactory than
in the East.

Onnof the peculiarities of the business
ituatlon of the country is Hint while the
east was the llrst to fool the depression and
caused the same to extend into the west by
refusing to grant the uaunl accommodations
In the bhapo of loans , the west was the first
to recover from thu effects of the stringency.
Business men were irenorally looking to the
cast for relief , hut before business hail
assumed the normal conditions there the
situation commenced to brighten in the
west and thorn has hoeu a rald | recovery In
this part of tltc country. In the u.ist , how
ever , It , has been different. The Improve
ment had oidy Just commenced there when
there came a halt , owing to the delay of the
senate in repealing the silver hill , ami trade
now In the largo financial anil business
centers of the cast H far from satisfactory.
In fact , durlnt ; the past wcok or more the
reports received from the east would seem
to Indicate that not only has tticro been a
cessation of the process of recovery , hutthat
there has boon if anything a backward
movement ,
A good many factories are starting up In
tlfo east , but they do not report a very active
demand for their goods ami there are still a
good many idle mills and thousands of idle
men , which necessarily limit tlio volume of
nil kinds of business. It is very evident that
the dull times in the cast arc by means a
thine of the | iasc , but that it will require
considerable time yul , , before the recovery
will be complete. ,
lu the west the situation is different , as
business in this part of the uuuntny is de
pendent moiv upon the larmors than hpun
the manufacturers ami fortunately ' , ho
formers have ( rood crops and nt-ii in a con
dition to help business along. While the
factories of Iho east have boon closed or
run11lux on short time the farms of iho west
Iiavc bi-oii i-uunim ; wide open and full time ,
and there have been no idle men among tbo
farmers of Nebraska. Thu products of Iho
soil tire sufficiently abundant and thenmr -
lent good i-nouirh lo insure a fair amount of
money in general circ-iihitlon and hence a
reasonably peed business in both a whole
sale and a retail way.
lliisiiuvs in some lines and with sonio
housed la fully up to what it was a year ago ,
but talcing an average Cor the whole city it
must be admitted that there has been a de
crease. J'eople are not yet buying with the
freedom that they were a year ago and
economy is nioro popular than extrava
gance. A year ago it seemed as if there was
no limit to the wants of the public anil it
was really surprising what a largo amount
of goods of nil kluus were consumed. The
jobbers ot Omaha were talking about the
im-i-oaso in their business as compared with
the previous year , estimated all the way
froir 20 to10 per cent. After n year of such
business activity it would bo only natural to
anticipate a reaction , even if there had been
no money stringency to inuko buyers extra
cautions ,
In the different lines of Jobbing tradothcro
has not been much change in the situation
since a week ago. The Jobbers of groceries
nro still very busv. ami if there was any
change as compared with the previous weelc
it was on the stiilo of improvement. All the
Omaha grocery houses are very busy ana
have about all the business that they can
Iiaudlo , oven with working overtime. Largo
rlr orders for groceries are coming in from all
over the territory tributary to this city.
Even the far western states have been lib-
era ) , buyers of groceries. .
In the hardware business tl.ere has been
move activity during the past week , but
buyers are still a little cautious and do not
appear inclined to buy any more goods than
they are likely to have an Immediate de
mand for.
Hoot and shoo dealers are enjoying active
trade , owing to the fact thut stocks in the
country have been rundown very low , and
now Is the season when new footwear is
in demand. The traveling-men representing
this line aru meeting with very good suc
cess , and there is a good house trade in
addition.
The jobbers of dry goods have their
hands full , and are working their
men after hours in order to get the
gooift out on time. A very largo pro
portion of tin ) retail dealers of thu state
put olT ordering their winter stocks until
the coul wi-atlier started up the demand for
I1. * seasonable iroods , and then thes seemed to
. realize , all of a sudden , that their shelves
were bare , and a general scraruhlo for goods
commenced on every side.
Collections as a rule are report oil as good
ns could bo expected under the circum
stances. The fact that the small irrain crop
of the stale wns generally a failure h.is de
prived the farmers of a llttlo ftiitdy mnmt.v
which comes in just , about this time and in
ndvanci. ' of the corn crop. Corn has.not yet
commenced to move to any extent In this
state ami the returns fiom this crap will bo
light for somii llttlo time yet. Agreatmany
fimut.-rs at this season of the , year buy cattle
to feed tliolr corn to and that takes a good
deal of money and also pi-events the turning
of the corn into moiifv before spring. [ lim
it reds of cattlu are now ! > cing bought at
South Omuhn ami taltcn into thu country to

AliiiiiilacttiriirH .Meet.
During the past , week the manufacturers
of the state who are members of the Manu
facturers and Consumers association of Ne
braska have been holding meetings in the
different cities for the election of directors.
According to thu constitution and by-laws of
the association , every llvo members are enti
tled to ono director. The members In the
different cities of the .state elect the direc
tors on this basis , and the directors so
elected will meet In Omaha tl.o latter part
of the month and elect onicora for the ensu
ing.year.
The election of directors hold at Omaha
was given in yesterday's issue. The Lincoln
members have elected thu following direc
tors to represent that city : Jacob North.
W. U. Wilson. M. A. Warren , J. C. Harp-
bam , Charles Ifawlcy , W. 11. IJovvon , W. II.
Howard , S. .1. Alexander. 1'reniont elected
T. K. Hummel and lieatrioo A. K. Dmnpstor.
At all these meetings one of thu chief sub
jects of discussion was the method to bo
adopted this winter to bring the subject of
homo patronage moro forcibly before the
people and thus inoroaso the size and im
portance of the manufacturing iimustrios of
the state. Whilunonoof the various plans
proposed were adopted all were agreed that
the work of building uo Nebraska factories
must bo pushed with vigor during thonoxt
few mouths ut least. H was pointed out
that there are a good many idle men in the
state and that lactories afford about the
only moans of giving ihem employment. As
the factories all have about as many men as
they can use at the present linio the only
way is'to increase the demand for the goods
turned out by the factories and thus make
room for moro men.

California fruits are becoming scarce anu
the season is about at an end. The amount
of fruits old in this market the past season
has beeifvory largo. Ono reason for this
may bo found in the fact that California
fruits have lasted much longer than usual ,
and then , too , they have boon cheap.
.lohn A. Uanldn , a heavy grower and
shipper of potatoes at Urcolov , Colo. , was in
the city the last of the week. Ho said that
they had qulto a heavy freeze In his country
on Monday , which frightened potato
growers , and they all started digging as
f.ist as possible , and by Wednesday'the
Oreoley market was overrun.
A fruit grower who IMS had a good deal of
experience in shipping and marketing fruit
was in thu city the other day nml remarked
that he could see a great change in tlio character -
actor of the men engaged in the fruit com
mission business since lie began shipping.
Ilo believes that the fruit commission busi
ness is gradually falling into tiio bauds of
abler and moro responsible men.
Air. Arpin of Grand Uapids dropped down
from bis northern homo lo talk about cran
berries. Ho expects to see the market advance -
vance on the theory that the early crop of
Capo Cod berries was very large and pro
duced llio presunt low prices , while the
later berries are not so uleuty and are being
held in storage. A good manj other . 'ran-
bcrry men appear to bo taking thu sumo
view of the situation.

predictions regarding thu supply of apples.
It is thu kind of season that may furnish
Mirprisus similar to tboso of last year. Wo
think , however , that the supply is consider
ably short of IS'.y ' , but doubt it prices are
materially higher this fall on account of less
or moro consurvativo competition on the
part of the cold storage buyers , many of
them bolng short of both nerve and funds.

A. W. C. Smyth of the Smyth Orangn com
pany of Orlando , Fla. , was iu the city tlio
ji.ist week looking over the prospect for the
h.ilo of l-'lorid'i oranges m this maiket , Ho
reports that tiu crop lu that stale will bo
ahead of last season and the fruit promises
to bo of vor.\ good ijtiality. Too much ro-
liiuco cannot bo placed on crop estimates
soul out in advance. Those llguros are com
plied by the railroad managcm , who sunn out
to tbo iisonts along their lines asking for thu
pro.iu."c-tlre | jleld in their section of the-
country. The local agent asks tlio llrst man
that happens along for an estimate and
aouds in his report. The general manager
ndds up iho totals from tliuditfcrent reports
received , and ilgures gathered In this way
are subject to large errors.
Beans are usually iu fair domaud , hut It is
a steady demand , and tlio market dues not
Ihietuato very rapidly at this point at least.
During the past week , lion-over , the bean
market oxper'ionced a decided Hurry. H
came about in this way. There is a oom-
mission man in llio city who means all right
but dons not always .say what ho means.
This commission man tried to instruct bis
traveling man lu the country to sell choice
hand pk'kod navy beans at fj.15 per bushel.
When ho came to dictate thu letter bu said
f 1.15 per bushel , and the stenographer took
him at his word. The traveling man com
menced offering beans at $1.15 , and as there
are tiuito a number of people in tbo country
who know beans and what they aru worth ,
the ordurs bo an pouring lu. They camu
thicker and faster each mail , and before thu
traveling man could bo headed off by a tele
gram he bad taken ordurs fur moro beans
than uro usually suen in Omaha In thocourso
of u whole year.

prices , livening up was the order on ac

closed about Ic under yesterday's resting
quotations. Provisions were firm and closed
at from too to 15c higher.
Wheat started from J c to ! c lower , re
covered slightly and fluctuated within n ? c
range. The export clearances from both
coasts of wheat and Hour were about : iOOUOO

and tbo Otlif ports were about 480,000 bu.

Increase of It.sno.lioo bu. for the correspond

in corn tnoro disposition was manifested
to sell the near futures and buy Mny oariy
and later the reverse conditions prevailed.
Local bulls scorn to have lost courage and
many operators who were recently "long"
seized lines and have Unloaded and are now
predicting still lurther declines and on any
indication of weakness , aid the decline by
selling Iho cereal. Some of the largo sellers
yesterday disposed of a good deal today ,
while many shorts were inclined to take
liroilta.
There was n fair trade lu May oats , but
the other months were slow. The close was
steady for October , but' from 's'c to } o
lower for the other months.
The provision tiadu was very slow , at
tracting some outside speculation. Orders
today were for the most part to bo for Jan
uary delivery. There was a llrm feeling
during the entire session , but
prices got their main iift in the
last live minutes. Compared with

NBW YOHK , Dot , 7. The speculation on
ho Stock exchange today was absolutely
vlthout foattiro as to the shares which Ron-
rally fltruro In the dally transactions. Only
no stock Whisky reached 10,000 shares ,
and the tolal sales footed up only
iO.OOO. The fluctuations were mainly
con lined lo fractious , and only three
oT the active list exceeded the I
) er cent limit successfully , General
Cleetrlc and Northwestern moving within a
radius of ' „ ' percent. 'Inking into consid
eration the fact that trading was ivinark-
ibly Unlit in volume , the inat-Kot was aur-
irlslngly llrm and thn tendency was for tbo
nest part toward bettor prices. The iion
oral list shows ad vanoos ranoiUR from > , to

'llinbnnk statement , which was < pillo as
'avorablo as was expected , moved stocks up
a fraction when It was made public , and the
tbsenco from the street ot nearly all the
argo operators prevented It from having any
narked inllucnco on the trading. The heavy
ucroaso In doposlts was the most agreeable
feature of the statement. The cash in
crease of over $0,000,000 was also regarded
is quite satisfactory and the establishment
of a surplus of more than f'iSOOO.Ol'O went
Tar toward securely anchoring eo'illilenee In
the monetary situation.
The ease of the money market In this sec
tion is rolleoled In most of the monetary
centers of the country except in the south ,
.n ' which stringency prut'alls pretty peucr-
illy , and in lAiulsvlllc. Cleveland , Detroit ,
St. .loseph , Omaha and Denver , where
money Is quoted us rather tight.

ircly from local sl-aughtorors , uut the prices

Ifths of the offerings , however , are direct
i'om western and southern ranges a..d as
the big bulk of those are feudors and cows ,
good western boot' steers have bocn scarce
enough to command fancy prices , quite a

Itout Cultlo Vw-y Scarce.
The cattle market today was not essen
tially different from that of Friday. Re
ceipts were a little lighter , but the genera )
Itmlity of llio offerings was about tlio samo.
An- anything in the hoof steer linu
carryhu ; a fair amoui.t of llcsh the
demand was good and the market strong ,
while sellers experienced no ditllculty what
ever in reali/.lng fully ste.idv prices on any-
.hlng that the dressed beef men could use.

fed beeves sold at from $4.50 to $5.'JO , the
alter being the highest llguro paid In sev
eral weoks. Common half fat and
grassy slock sold at from $3.15
to $4J. . " ) . The common quality ot the
western cattle and Iho active demand for
feeders restricted the purchases of slaugh
terers , but prices paid were strong. A string
of fair Colorado-Texas steers sold at $2.85 ,
some pivlly gooii western yearlings brought
M and fair to pretty good beef cattle sold
from that , up to $3.05. Trading was lively
.ind there was liitlo loft in iirst hands over
the noon hour.
There has boon very little change in the
cow market all week and there was none to
day. Offerings included perhaps twenty
loads , mostly common and odds and ends.
The quality of the cows coming to market
now is very common. An occasional bunch
of good fat range cows Is received , but iiono
that have been fed coin. Sales today were at
from Jl.W ) for canners to $2.75 for fat
butchers' cows , Then ) were quite a few
pretty good range cows that wont at around
and J3.50. Common large to choice vc.al
calves sold at from St.50 to $4.25. or about
steady prices. Poor lo choice bulls and stags
brought from $1.23 to $1.25. Tlio market was
lirm.

The feeder trade has been in very satis
factory shape nil woelt. Ueceipts have been
heavy , but so has the demand. Prices have
been well sustained on till suitable grades
and the volume of trading for the weelc
about the largest in the history of the yards.
A11 grades have shared in the general activity ,
recent rams having improved the pastures ,
and this in turn created a hotter demand for
stock cattlo. The feeling is very confident
and if the present beef shortage continues ,
and this seems morn than probable , the
high priced feeders that are goiuir to iho
country now will make lots of nionev. Good

IViitnriM of l.uriil Trailing.
Trading thla week has all been of the
same general character. Fresh moat men
and buyers for eastern slaughterers have
st-irtcd In early evori morning and picked
up the good hogs at stronger prices ,
while pacuers have been bearish
throughout and Invariably bought low-eras
soon as comnotltlon was withdrawn.
At present prices of hogs and provisions
packero are not making money fust. The
market today was about like it was on the
llvo preceding days. The good hogs , regard
less of weight , sold early for shipping and
fresh moat account , largely at Jtl.-IOand ffi.45 ,
or strong to a nickel higher than Friday.
Packers were as usual bearish from the
start and bought common , mixed
and heavy hogs at from $ it.SS !
to JO.M. Chicago closed lower , and partly In
sympathy the close was very mean hero ,
late sales being largely -ut ULSTi ami $ t'i.tO : , or
fully lOc lower than opening prices. The
pens were practically empty at tlio closo.
however , the bulk of the hors selling at
from $0.110 to { iV-I.-i , as nsrainst $ il.Ki ! to SlVlO
