As was noted n week ngo the volume of
business in a Jobbing way appears to have
nettled down to a steady thing , nnd such
changes as occur from day to day arc not of
ft very marked character. Moro than that ,
the goncr.il opinion appears to bo that there
Is not llknly to bo any very great change in
the condition of the jobbing trade for some
little time to dome. It is anticipated of
coin-so tlint there will bo a decided gain in
the retail trade ns the iioli'day season ap
proaches. This improvement Is already
seen In the retail trade of the city , while
tno Jobbing business in all seasonable lines
is better than it was nt the commencement
of the month.
Jobbers , as a rule , report goods of n sea-
Ronablo character in very fair aemand , and
some even go so far as to claim that their
business is very satisfactory slnco the
weather turned colder. In certain other
lines , which are not so much affected by
cold weather , the reports are not so favor ,
nblo , trade not being up to what it was a
( ycar ago at this tlmo. Taking the condition
of the whole country into consideration ,
business Is perhaps as good us could well bo
expected. Ono thing appears to bo pretty
well established by the reports received ,
and that is that the Jobbing , business of
Omaha is In hotter condition than that of
most , other v/cstorn cities.
While the clearings of the past week were
not quite up to the point reached the nro-
vious week , they show a decrease of only
4l ! per cent , as compared with the corrc-
spoudlng week of last year. The cities to
the south ot Omaha , that Is , Kansas City ,
St. Joseph and St. T ouis , nro making [ oven a
hotter showing in the matter of clearings
than Omaha. As compared with the north
ern cities Omaha is still way in the lead.
Minneapolis shows a falling off in the clear
ings , ns compared with last year , of 18 per
cent ; bt. Piuil , 18 per cent ; Milwaukee , 510
per cent ; Sioux.City , 27 Dor cent. The de
crease for the whole country Is 13 percent ,
showing that Omaha is considerably bettor
off than the general average of cities , in
this respect at least.
Business men who are prone to study
figures and speculate ns to their meaning
nnd general bearing on ir.ido are trying to
determine Just now what Inferences can bo
.drawn . front the completed statement of the
comptrollor-of the United States as to the
condition of the national banks , which has
come to hand during tno past few days. The
most striking feature of this report nnd the
ono thafmay cause some surprise is the fact
that the banks instead of gaining in deposits
nftor August , when the bank failures ceased ,
continued to show a decrease , as was brought
iOUt by the reports of October 3.
In the following abbreviated statement
the last three returns of the comptroller ,
showing the condition of the banks in the
more Important items on the 4th of May , the
12th of July and the 3d of October , are com
pared , the figures given representing mil-
Jions. riioro is added n statement of the
decrease or increase for the different
periods Intervening betwe'on the statements ,
anil ns the withdrawals from banks of the
reserve cities were in character quite differ
ent from these which occurred at other
points , a separate statement is added show
ing the amounts reported by all banks out-
'sido the reserve cities at the different
periods and also their aggregate of changes :

Increase.
From this statement it will appear , first ,
that the decrease in loans during the first
period was smaller by about ; JBU.OOO.OOO
than the decrease in deposits , but during
the second period the decrease in loans was
larger by about $71,000,000 than the decrease
in deposits. This naturally reflects the
ability of the banks , after the worst of the
panic had subsided , to cause liquidation of a
part of their loans , and thus to recuperate
their reserves , nnd accordingly it appears
that during the latter period the banics
were able to ndd $1)1,000,000 ) gold nnd
$10,000,000 legal tenders to their cash re
serves , in all $50,000,000 , in place of the
$170,000,000 loans retired. But It will also
be seen that the banks outsldo the re
curve cities retired much moro than half
tlio loans thus liquidated , namely $103,000-
000 , while they added only $4.000,000 to their
stock of gold as legal tenders. It also ap
pears that it was from these banks that by
far the greater part of the withdrawal of de
posits occurred during the second period ,
namely $83,000,000 , out of $105,000,000 from
nil the banks , In consequence the banics
outsldo tlio reserve cities must bo considered
to have effected the liquidation in largo
measure for the satisfaction of depositors ,
without adding materially to their available
reserves. The same feature appears in both
cases , however , that the decrease in loans
'was smaller during the first period than In
deposits , but larger in the second period.

"Omaha people ao not fully appreciate the
Importance of South Omaha to the business
interests nnd prosperity of their city , " said
Mr. W. II. Hobcrson , K. Q. Dun & Co.'a local
manager , when asitod for his usual wcoltly
review ot trado.
"Tho great stock ynrds and packing Industries -
trios of Omaha's principal suburb have been
the very backbone of the city's development
during the seven years last past. Indeed ,
without Uio employment nnd trafllo of South
Omaha , I do not see how Omaha proper
could have maintained herself during these
trying years , It would bo n good idea for
old nnd now citizens to drop down to the
packing city about onceevery three months
just to receive Jho Inspiration of hope and
the nerve itonlu incident to actual contact
with genuine business energy.
"And this romluds ono that over since I
have boon in Omaha the forward movement ,
the steady growth and the abiding pros
perity of this metropolis have como very
largely from the energy developed
in her two principals suburbs-
South Omaha and East Omaha.
'While there has been a degree
of somnolence in the mother city , these two
lusty children of her much traduced boom
have been thoroughly awake , agrossivcly
active und have dona u great deal toward
keeping the old lady in health and comfort.
If Dundee 1'liico , on the west , had kept up
MU original pace und Florence , on the north ,
had been enunl to the hopes of its owners ,
there h no forecasting what growth the city
proper- might have enjoyed even in dull
tlnici.
'Times nro not Improving much and trade
i * not as good as It should bo. Deposits in
the banka are not growing. Banks ore not
disposed to invite borrowers and the fact is
wo are still in what n society editor might
call the 'doldrums of business , ' with only
hope bracing us up for the winter.
'A very bright business man discussing
the situation criticises the banks for part of
the trouble , Ho calls attention to the more
Btrlogont rules adopted driving away busi
ness in towns when city banks should have
boon soliciting deposits and courting friendly
relation * with country bankers. lie
also thicks the embargo should bo raised
'on country phcoks uud especially
on thoso'drawn on bank * In nearby towns.
He has recently opened an account m a Now
York bank in xrhloh be carries a compara
tively small balance. It almost took bis
breath nway to receive notice from this old
established banking house that 3 per cent
would be paid him on his average dully bal
ances.
' 'Another business man , speaking on the
f , , arao general ftPfe. * , % fl& ° f. "
Boston banks take all Now England checks
from their customers At par nnd credit them
ns cash on the lny depotltcd , Ho Also points
to A circular from ono bf the oldest
banks in lioston In which business is
solicited In the following seductive terms !
"Do you find your bank makes a number of
little charges against you for check book ,
Tor collection of out-of-town , western
nnd southern notes , checks nnd
drafts ; premium for currency or pay
roll , etc ? They nro small items , but they
cmint up. In tlicao matters the facilities of
the national bank nro unexcelled nnd n sav
ing is made to Its depositors of those
amounts. Boston ought to do conservative
banking and this bank Is moro than half a
century old.
" 1 seem to have fallen In with bank critics
this week for still another business man said
ho found Omaha dratts the cxcontlon now
where they used to bo the rulo. Homlttnncos
to his house como In New York , Chicago
cage , St. txmla and oven Sioux
City exchange rather than Omaha.
He thinks thn Omaha bankers
havn been .shortsighted in establishing
stringent and plcayunlsh regulations and
shutting off legitimate solicitation in the
interest of rival towns.
"Some way the trade will not quit talking -
ing nhout the clearing house rules nnd the
fact Is the bankers themselves keep up § the
discussion , The older members of the asso
ciation say they have always done too much
for nothing and U change can Just as well bo
made now as any time. They vigorously
defend their course , both at present nnd
during the panic. They point to Omaha's
bank record for thirty years as the best evi
dence that her bankers understand their
business. "

( 'nmplnlnt About Wllliilrnwnln from Oninlm
Iliinlm 'Without Itonion.
Omaha bunkers have boon commenting con
siderably of Into upon the recent withdrawal
from tlic > national banks of the city ot state
fuiiiN. It 1s claimed by them that Omaha
1ms not had a fiilr proportion of the state's
money , niul now the amount of state funds on
deposit here U less than at any time previous.
Ono bankur says It does probably not exceed
J50.000.
This sudden taking of the funds In ques
tion from Omaha and South Omtjlia lias'It
IH bald , worked mlmmi Inconvenience to ono
or two banks , and wasdone , nt n time , too ,
when thuro wiw no good cause fur It , hecansn
tlm state treasury had Just boon rcplonlsliml
by tlio remittance of tuxes from the several
counties. The action U regarded as only a
part of the discrimination which , KOIMO of
the Imnkurs guy , bus boon habitually prac
ticed by the authorities iiR.-ilnst the banking
Institutions of Douglas county and In favor of
thn < iu of Lincoln , Lancaster county. It Is
claimed that the Onmha banks , being more
heavily capitalized nnd having more credit
than liny other like concerns In the state , are
entitled to greater consideration at. thn hands
of thestuto treasurer nnd other olllclals hav
ing some authority In the management of the
state's finances.
In speaking about the order recently Issued
by.tho Treasury department providing that
nfler November 27 the charges for the trans
portation of national bnnk notes to the treas
urer of the United States for redemption
must ho paid by tho' party making the
remittance , the banker.- ) say that it ID of no
Important significance. It will amount to
only u trlllo with any ono bank , though it will
be a saving of .some magnitude to the govern
ment. It will probably have a tendency to
slightly restrict tlio redemption of national
hunk notes , as hanks will nut hereafter for
ward for redemption any notes not. mutilated
to such an extent as to make their redemption
an ubsoluto necessity.

nnil provisions were dull anil without any
noticeable change In prices. "
Wheat opened at yesterday's closing fig

would continue to decrease until they

at one tlmo May vcnt c below the open

000 bu. larger than tlio preceding
week. The Now York contingent bought
freely , using most of the private wire

Speculation I.cm Active In Securities for n
, AVUIIo Yentordny.
NEW Yonic , Nov. 25. There was quite
nctlvo speculation on the Stock exchange
during the two hours of business today. In
the early dealings a veryflrin tone nrovatlod.
Sugi\r \ was about the only week share on the
list. The buying was tnninly local , for Lon
don was out of the market , prices being
about on a parity in the arbitrage specialties ,
but the purchasing movement was quite
steady and under its influence the active list
moved up } { to 3J per cent , About 11
o'clock the market became heavy , largely on
realizing sales and from then until the close
the speculation was feverish and the ten
doncy of prices was reactionary , and the
final dealings were made at u decline of 1
percent in General Electric , 1 per cent
in Now Jersey Central and 1@
% po'1 cent in the rest of the general
list. Sugar was weak and was urcssed for
sale on tlio uncertainty regarding the pro
posed tariff. Opening at a decline of > . per
cent , the shares fell oft 3 per cent additional ,
closing nt a recovery of % per cent. In
siders nro reported to nave bought the
stock on the decline. .The general marlcet
at the close was weak , but n majority of the
list was above yesterday's Jlnal llgurcs.
The changes in the list on the transactions
of. the wpok so far as concerns the railway
stocks are generally toward hlchor prices ,
the principal advances being : Delaware &
Hudson.- jf per cent ; Delaware , Lacka-
wauna & Western , 2 per cent ; Now Jer
sey Central , 3. % per nent ; Reading , IV per
contest.- Paul & Omaha preferred , 5 per

5 percent ; Liehlgh & Wijkesbarro , 2J4 per
cent ; Cordage , 2 per cent : Sugar and Cotton
Oil preferred , 1 percent ; Evnnsvillo & Terre
Haute , 1 per cont. Distilling closed at the
same price as on the week before.
The Post says : There was considerable
selling to take profits on the market today and
without noteworthy exceptions. Tlio marked
feature of the market was the continuous
selling , in the face , moreover , of another
heavy break in Sugar. Genorafly the day's
market indicated that prices had reached
the normal hitrh lovol. The bears nro
pretty isuro at all events to show
activity next week. Such news as there
was today helped along the upward move
ment. The report of the week's train in ex
ports shoirca a larger outward wheat
movement than at any tlmo within fourteen
weeks , nnd It is four weeks since corn ex
ports have reached tholr present volume.
This may explain the movement. As to the

Receipts of bath cattle Mid slicop have
held up well the past week , but there has
been a sharp falling off in supplies of hogs.
The figures are ns follows :
Cattle. Hey * . Sheep
Hocelpta this week 22.452 18,120 7,210
Itecolpt.i lust week 24f 42 24,879 2,001
Same week last year. . . . 10.019 no.982 5,807
The recent monotonous steadiness of the
cattle market has .been broken this week ,
but in a manner not at all satisfactory to
cattle owners. Owing' to the great amount
of game , poultry and oysters in the mar
kets at present , the demand for dressed
bcof has been somewhat diminished , nnd
as a result beef on the hoof has
hail to sell lower. The llrst to fool the effect
of the decreased demand were the Imlf-fat
and short-fed native cattle , and thtso in
turn dragged the better grades down with
them. During the flrst four days of the
week values declined from 25c to 40e , the
good matured cattle suffering the least. On
Friday and Ba'tilrdny , with limited receipts ,
there was n alight reaction , but no part of
the decline was regained. Comparatively
few of the cattle now coming forward arc
westerns , and desirable beef grades have
not shown much change , as they arc gener
ally much proferredto thr ordinary run of
half-fat natives. The demand has como very
largely from local houses , but Chicago
butchers arc still taking a few now
audjhcn to help out their supply at Chicago.
Uccoipts at that plnco arc falling short of
last year , while so far this month compared
with last November thcro has boon an In
crease hero of nearly 17,000 cattle , and the
cloven months' increase will not fall far
short of 100,000 head.
J.iKht Supply of Fresh Stock.
The trade today was peculiar. In the first
place the fresh simply was the lightest In
over three months or since August 18 , when
only 1,010 cattle were received. There was
a moderate demand and while the fair to
good beef cattle sold freely at fully steady
prices the market was slow and dull on the
best grades and dull and slow on the common
stuff. Fair to pretty good natives sold any-
whcro from 1.23 to $4.3" ' . with ono very good
bunch of steers at $1.T3 , and Inferior stuff
down to $ i3.50. A few small bunches of
western rangers went at.from $3.10 to $3,40.
There seemed to bo a very fair umlortpno to
llll ) iniUU UUl UUUUrtUU lU-uauim > , uiiuit. > uu. > in
will taito continued limited supplies to sus
tain values.
The cow market suffered mor.o than the
fat cattle market. Supplies have been com
paratively liberal all week and while there
has been n very good inquiry from outsiders
the local demand has been slack ana prices
went off 40c to 50c on all grades. Friday und
today there was a little more firmness to the
trade , but tt was duo entirely to the reduced
numbers on sale. Some very choice cornfcd
hoifcrs sold today at $3.00. but aside from
these , fair to good cows sold largely at from
Sl.OO to ? 2.40 , while common and canning
grades wont at from fl.'lO up to $1.85. Good
veal calves have ruled llrm all week , and
sold today at from ? 1 to * . " > . Common huge
stock and ycarlincs have boon in indifferent
demand and lower at from $1.75 to 53. The
market for rough stock was not very brisk
arid prices were not moro than steady at the
recent decline , poor to choice bulls , oxen
and stags selling at from $1.40 to $3.
In the stacker and feeder trade the ten
dency toward higher prices was checked
by the depression in fat cattle values.
Low prices' brought the buyers , however ,
nnd the increased demand resulted in clean-
inc up the greater portion of the abnormally
largo stocks in traders' hands. Prices have
Improved 15o to 2oo on the oetter grades ,
but common light stock cattle are selling in
differently and at unsatisfactory prices.
Good to choice feeders uro quoted nt from
$2.80 to $3.50 ; fair to good nt from $2.50 to
$2.80 , witn inferior to fair grade ? at from
$2to 2.40.

The sharp fulling oft in supplies of hogs
lias had a very healthy effect on prices , and
packers huvo been compelled to change their
tactics nna pay higher prices or lot the hogs
alone. Hoculpts at this point for the week
show n falling off of nearly 7,000 head as
compared with last week and 1,000 ! ) head
us compared with the same week last
year. A similar reduction In supplies at
other points changed the very bearish ap
pearance of the situatlou at the close of last
.week , and.allliQUKu .for tyro pr three days
Tftluos continued to go down , there vras n
sharp rally during the inttor lulf or the
week , and closing prices average fully l&o
per cwt. better than last Saturday. The
fact Is the bears started tholr campaign ton
soon. No ono looked for big receipts before
the middle ot December nt the closest , but
hotrs were too high the way provisions were
selling , nnd n slight bulge In receipts lad
packers to think that the big run had com
luonccd nnd they began hammering
prices. They pounded out a COn
decline lasfweok , but with present light
supplies the tables were turned and prices
wont back n few notches , ami unless re
ceipts Increase sharply they nro liable to
nil vance a fovr notches further before .Inn-
u.ir.v 1 , although in the very nature of the
ease lower prices soon nro Inevitable. The
shipping demand has boon very light , ns is
usually the case at this season of the year ,
when eastern packers can got what hogs
they want cheaper nearer homo. The fresh
moat demand , however. Is improving and
light and butcher weight hogs have pone
back to a premium over the heavy weights.
\Vont Up n Nickel.
The market today was active and on an ,
average a nickel higher all around. Sorati
ol the good light nnd butcher grades showed
moro advance than this on account of tlio
demand from fresh meat men nnd shippers ,
while some of the heavy hogs sold little , if
any , higher than Friday. The range of prices
was wider than it has been lately , running
from SVJTi for rough packers up to t3.4K
for cholco light stuff. The big hulk of tlm
hog.s , however , sold at * .YB ! and $5.40 , and
the mo.iRi > r offerings soon changed hands ,
although the close was weak. Krldny the
hogs sold mostly nt $3.5u ! and $3.35 nnd on
last Saturday $ T .SO to S.VJ5 bought the bulk
of the hogs. Representative sales :
