THE OMAHA DAILY fiBfo. SUNDAY , JULY 8. 1801. 15 Bcsiueai Seriously Embarrassed by the Rail road Strikes. MANY SHIPMENTS MADE AT GREAT RISK I.ociil .Jobber * Hnvo Hern Ahle to I'll ! Molt Onlrni fur flood * for Nelirimku 1'olnti but HltlpmcnU OuUldo the Slnto Are Attended with Mllllcitltlc * . The great labor troubles , which have tied up many of the leading transportation com panies and have seriously Inconvenienced others , have overshadowed every other fea ture of the week. There has been a-tooling of uncertainty and Insecurity In business circles that Is dlfllcult to deicrl-be and still moro difficult to realize. White there has been very little trouble experienced In this Htate so far , the feeling that It might come at almost any minute has hail almost as bad an effect upon trade as If It already existed. Dullness men have been afraid to make any move , as the situation has apparently been growing moro serious from day to day. There has , however , been a strong disposi tion among business men , both retailers and Jobbers , to prepare for any trouble that might come by laying In stocks of such goods as would In ; most likely to fall In case the roads In this section of the country were to be tied up for any great length of time , So far goods billed to most local points In this state ha've been going forward with very llttlo trouble or delay , and hiiHlncss , to that extent , has not been materially Inter fered with. ImslnesH , however , to the east of Omaha and In the states west of Ne braska has not been In BO fortunate a con dition and jobbers IIml that serious Inroads are being made upon the volume of trade In those sections of their territory. The Jobbers feel that they are taking a good deal of rink In many nf the shipments of goods that they are making. Should the roads be tied up the goods might bo de stroyed or seriously damaged or not reach their destinations until there was no longer a demand for them. There Is no doubt but what a good many lines of business are suffering not only great Inconvenience but serious losses as a re sult of the labor troubles. The crop condi tions In this territory are generally favor able and such as to encourage the jobbing trade , but very little business. Is anticipated ttntll the labor troubles arc at an end. The traveling men representing eastern commercial Institutions are many of them called In and are not trying to do anything op the road. At the same time the general public Is not doing any traveling , and as a result every line of business that Is depend ent upon the traveling public Is suffering se verely. Hotels that were doing a good buxl- 11083 previous to the strike arc now doing al most nothing. A continuation of tlic present conditions for very many days will see a good many men laid off In addition to those that have already been discharged , as there will not be work Tor them to do. _ Upon the whole , business men regard the situation Is very disquieting , and not a few are disposed to take a very gloomy view of the near future. The throwing of a large number of men out of employment will seri ously embarrass the retail trade , which was none- too active to commence with. THE HANKS. According to the records of the comptrol ler of the currency only one national bank , the City. National Dank of York , has been Organized In Nebraska since October 31.1893. Only four states have two new banks to their credit. , One state , Minnesota , has three , and Pennsylvania and Illinois four each. As only thirty-four new national bdnks have been organized In the whole cduntry H follows that a good many states have none to their credit. The whole number of , new banks organ ized during the year ending October 31 , 1893 , Vras 119 , with a capital stcrk of $11.- 230,000. . .Nearly all of these were organized before the breaking" out of the crhls In the spring , and the six months from May to October showed very few new organizations. The figures from October 31 up to date show thirty-four new banks , cf which ten Jave been authorized to begin business during June. This would make an average of about sixty for the year covered by the comptrol ler's report , and the figures would compare as follows with those of several years past : Tear , Number. Capital. 1SSS i 132 J12.te.UOO 18S3 211 20,210.040 ISM , 307 3fi.230.000 issi ! , 19i : M.700.000 1892 IK ! 1833 . . . ! 119 iilzsolooo 1801 , CO 6.COO.OOO It Is quite possible that the Improvement will bo greater during the remainder of the 'year , and the number of Incorporations will ba larger by the end of October than the figures given. It 'Is well known at the comptroller's olllce that the promoters nf a number of banks whose orgunl/atlan was abandoned for the time being when the crisis broke out have been simply waiting for more favorable conditions in order to complete their organization , iind many of these banks are likely to bo organized dur ing the next six months. The bank clearings at Omaha during the past week have not been of suinclent volume to create any great amount of enthusiasm over the business situation here. During the , greater part of the dull times of the past year Omaha has imde butter showing In the matter of clearings thnii most any otlier wpstern city , but during the past two weeks she has not done so well. Last week the clearings at till * point showed o 'decrease , n compared with the correspond ing week of last year , of 21 per cent. It ' may be some 'satisfaction to know that Omaha was not nt the bottom of the Hat , as Denver showed a decrease of D8 per cent , and St. Paul 33 per cent. At the same time Minneapolis was only 10 per cent be hind her record of last year , Kansas City 9 0 and St. Joseph 19 per cent. The aver age decrease for the whole country was } 9 per cent , so that Omaha comes very near to' being up with the rest of the coun try. AH UN 8KKS IT. Dcpremlon Dun tn Kullroml Disturbance * U AVIdrMpreuil niul Dlnliriirti'iilnp. Mr. W , II. Uoberson , local manager of n. O. Dun & Co. , xpcakliig of trade , says : "Business men In America have never before experienced the conditions which hnvo prevailed during the past week , and It Is to be hoped they never will again ) > o called upon ( o pass through micli cxperl- oncen. Whether the contention of the strikers Is meritorious or otherwise , busi ness Is simply paralyzed by their action , nnd It hardly seems fair to the business world generally that Its representatives should be held responsible for contention : * between employe nnd employe * , In which they bavu no direct or Indirect Interest. "In the IniiKiinga of n local hanker. It would bo very agreeable Indeed to feel cer tain that one could stand u few ml nil tea on one foot ami not have his hopes of belnn able to place the oilier one niuurfely on the ground dashed down by Nome new and unforeseen catastrophe. The phenomenal Ilimnclnl nnd cochil condition * which huve made the last twelve ; noiith famous have ro parallel In history , lluslness men today ff-cl mure uncertain. If possible , than thny have felt at nny time for tin ft ! months. Where the next outbreak or misfortune will strike no man can sec. Certain people who believe In fair play for all , whether rich or poor , are honing that the consti tuted authorities will be nblii to grapple with the Hlliiatlon and effectually end the controversy. One thing Is very certain. .American statesmanship bus n new prob lem to solw. nnd upon Ha solution depends thri future welfare uf thu American com mercial world. Kvcrit * such UK have tram- plied In DIP last ten days must never again occur or be likely to onnir. No commer cial business can stand their Mruln nnd no commercial business tan : permanently pro * , per If tin- country b liable nt u monwint'B notice to bo plungisl Into an archy or commercial disorder Ilk * that Which hna marked thtt period named. "Local Jobbers have not bot-n ns seriously affected , except In their far wst tradu t inlut' huve been expected. It Is the dull sen sun , and hence comparatively few com- l > liln of the HlrlUn They Mil uppreclutu the evil condition * under which Ui y are JnUortnu niul look forward with great anxi ety to an early and complete Mttliment of thu trouble. Mtnnwhlle the Orrmhr ? Job- i > n are doing the b * t tht-y can , lu some < ! su it they huve hlp | > cd Koodant nearby notnta and had them transported by wuirun. Inoth r tone * . th icood * bur * been rt- trriifd to thrlr storehouses becnuve the rallroa.I * rtfiucd to accept them. Th jruU and commission mm i.Ave suffered the most , an California fruit has not been coming- Into market , and the out look Is not favorable for receiving any for omo days to come. "At South Omnha , In roltc of the unset tled condition ! ! , receipts for the week foot up 12,000 cattle , 20,000 hogs and 1,009 sheep , Prle"8 , of course , have been uncertain. Strangely enough , the market on cattle bait hemi rather lower nnd on hogs higher , but there l.i no life In the market , nnd xhlpperft nnd packers arc alike alarmed over the prospects. "The old millinery house of I. Oberfclder & Co. succumbed the past week , ami for the second time In thirteen months the veteran Jobber yielded to the enormous pressure of hard tlni"s. Much sympathy in manifested for Mr. Oberfclder because luck should Imvu turned ngntnst him nfter thirty-four years of active nnd generally mirrci'sfiil business experience. The millin ery trade hns suffered tremendously In Omaha. In the last two years seven fail ures have occurred In the retail millinery trade , counting Oberfeldpr twice. "Nebraska Is fortunately not so much affected by the strike as her sister stntcs , but tht ; reflex effect upon some lines of trade IH seriously felt. One of our leading wholesale dealers told mo bis orders hnd- already fallen off S1 per cent , not so much because the tributary territory was In volved , but because1 country merchants nro alarmed lest DIP tie-up of railroad trains shall continue until It will be Impossible to market the grain stock of the state. "One ray of light penetrates the general gloom , however. Concress will likely be throned with the tariff before Atimist 1 , nnd should the labor troubles also bo set tled by that time business can be resumed upon a definite basis. "The greatness of this country n ° d the Independence of all sections Is Illustrated In tin ? present situation. A riot hivnkn out In Chicago which cuts off the meat sup ply of the world. The sami ! sort of trouble In n less aggravated form stops the ship ment of breadstufts from Minneapolis. Our fruit supplies from the Pacific coast are no longer received , am ! the banana dealers of New Orleans set up a wall of despair because the troplo.nl delicacy cannot be sent to the north. Although the Atlantic : sea board cities nro not yet Involved , trade between - tween the oceans Is nt a dead standstill. As usual , the timidity of bankers and loan agents manifests Itself , and everybody clutches his surplus gold and refuses to be led out Into nny sort of enterprise. Three mlllons of people nro deprived of wages , nnd provisions nt the same time cote to almost prohibitive prices In many locali ties , tivcn the babies suffer , because the strikers destroy the milk trains. The end may be bloodshed , but the government lives , nnd the American people are always equal to the emergencies which times pre sent. Good citizens can do nothing but watch , wait nnd nld In restoring order. Business will not crowd them with ltn de mands , nnd the summer of 1SOI will be n moro uncomfortable memory than the same period of 1893. "Confidence , patience nnd hope are the cardinal virtues which must be cultivated. Confidence In the stability of the estab lished order of society ; patience with angry men who believe they have a grievance , and hope that out of It all a business pence ami commercial prosperity shall follow as daylight follows the darkness and sunshine the cyclone. "Crops continue to tjrovr nnd rains to fall In season. Kvcn the small grain crop , which was thought to be almost a total failure. Is turning out better than was ex pected. In the far west grass la green nnd feoil becoming plentiful. In Itox Butte county , where , a month ago , everything was apparently destroyed by drouth nnd the prairies were dry enough to burn , our correspondent writes us this week that the plenteous showers have changed the whole face of affairs nnd people are happy again and counting upon a good corn and hay crop. "Late Saturday the announcement was made that Thomas L. Klmball , It. . M. Morsman nnd W. A. Page had been added " to the directory of the American National bank and that Tbomns I , . ' Klmball would succeed John L. . McCiiKiie as president of the Institution. Persons familiar with the man ful striiRKle of the McCnKUes through these distressing times will congratulate them on adding these three new elements of strength. The new directors are strong men In Omaha's business community , and they are closely allied to strong financial people. If there hns been nny doubt about the ultimate success of the American Na tional the reorganization outlined above re- movus It. John I , . McCngue remains a di rector , but will duvote bis personal ener gies to his private affairs. " SNOW , CHUIlOn & COMPANY'S VIKWS. Demoralization Duo to the Strlkn Not I Yet Deeply Marked In Nclmixlui. Albert Andrlnno local superintendent for Snow. " Church & Co.'s Mercantile agency , writes : "The railway strike has been the nil ab sorbing topic of conversation in business circles during the past week. The utter demoralization of trade at Chicago has , of course , affected business throughout the west to a. greater or less degree. Beyond some slight Inconvenience in delayed ship ments , Omaha merchants have suffered little ns yet. The blockade on the Rock Island has. of course , put a stop to business on that line , nnd there has been some delay In shipments over the Chicago , St. Paul , Mln- nenpoUa & Omaha. Hut In the main , busi ness nt Omaha hns suffered very little up to the present. Country morcljnnts have shown a very rommendable spirit of toleration eration In this Instance nnd have very readily accepted the situation as It stands. How long the strike will last and how extensive It will be can at this time be only1 u * matter of conjecture. Kvcn those who should be best Informed do not feel Justified In expressing their opinions on these points. Should thetieup spread and the struggle be prolonged for nny length of time , It will , of course , very materially affect business all over the country. It Is u fortunate circumstance. , that the strike has como nt this time. Had the trouble occurred earlier In the season It would have practically paralyzed trade during the spring ; coming ns It has. however , just ns the dull months arc setting In , Its effect will not be near so disastrous or far-reach ing. ing.In local business circles there are few happenings worthy of note. Retail trade Is slow nnd tapering oft ns the season ad vances. Jobbers report a fair business , taking into consideration all attending cir cumstances. Collections are reasonably good. The opinion seems to be quite ir-sn- ernl that the summer season will bo duller this year than In previous seasons. In tbu face of this , It Is Interesting to note that both wholesalers nnd retailers are more hopeful of the future and express more confidence. In the situation ns It stands at present than they hnvt for some months past. This feeling Is directly attributable to the tine stnto of the growing crop. Corn la In prime condition , nnd wheat and OIKS show better than was expected With a prospect of the finest nnd largest crop in the history of the state ; Nebraska mer chants feel that they can stand a month or' two of dullness with the promise of such exceptional prosperity ns the fall will bring- . " _ Aiiierlrnu National Itrorgiinliatlon. An Important change has been made In the management nnd directory of the Amer ican National bank- President John T , . McCuRiie bus resigned In order that he may devote all his time to other enter prises that demand his best attention. He Is succeeded by Mr. Thomas L > . Klmball. Messrs. 13. M. Morsman ami W. A. Pn e RO Into the directory , whlc.li already In- cludeH some of the Htrontr men of the city. Mr. John C. Cobb of Boston , who rcprn- sents thu eastern stockholders of the bank , has been In the city the past few days aiding In the derails of the change , which Is made nt the Instance of Mr. McCngue , who will retain his Interest In the bank and a place In the directory.

Wheat operators were Inclined to cover today , and finding little for sale the market advanced , September closing 140 higher , September corn % c higher , Sep tember o t % c higher and provisions prac tically unchanged. Wheat was dull but firmer. Opening trades were at from > ,4c to { c decline , and after selling off He more , rallied from " 54c to Ic , became quiet and closed easy. The market acted as If operators had oversold and were Inclined to cover , and did not find a great deal for sale. Eastern markets were fairly steady and foreign advices did not respond to the drop here as much as expected , and this added n little strength to the market. The Kansas state report confirmed all the bad statements In regard to the yield In that state , making the crop but 23,000,000 bu. Corn was generally firm within % c range , on covering by shorts. Oats were easy early , but firmed up on the strength In corn. The range for Septem ber was % c. Provisions were dull , but closed firm on covering by shorts.

I'rom what ran be lenrneil , other creamt-rlen lire In about th same shape , nnd they might docldi ? to throw their butter nn the local market If the outlet lu the east remains closed for nny great length of time. The receipt * of CSKS continue light for some reason which Is hard to explain. Country Imy- er have withdrawn from the trade nnd It would reem ns If the fk'es ought to come here , hut they do not. Borne dealers are expressing the fear that the eKR nre being ; held In the country In the hopes that the situation will change , nnd Hint when they are sent forward to market they will bo In very poor condition. The week closed with poultry tlrm. Som spring chickens which ucrt * wanted to till urgent demands sold as high ns ! . " > ? , but that was nn outside price nnd hardly snfn to quote. The advance appeared to be due entirely to a temporary scarcity nnd there was a feeling that it few more coop * Ihtin wer absolutely rcnulred to nil orders would break the market. Old hens wore al o very Ilrm yesterday , owln * to tin ? light offerings. An occasional veal Is being received by the commission houses , bufnot enough to cut mucli figure In the trade. The hay market remain' about steady , so fur as the quotation * nre conct-nieil. The receipts arc lighter nnd thu surplus' nn the market Is being slowly worked orf at barely stc.idy prices. As alrendj- noted , the demand for pigeons hnn fallen off , owing to the Inactivity of the local gun clubs , which have been the principal buyers. The total receipts of the past week In the lines mentioned have been 1'JQI eases of eggs , 913 packages of butter , 211 rojpi of poultry , 12 mrs of potatoes , as against 2,6.1. , cases of eggs. 1.118 package * of butter. 22S coops of poultry , . 13 cars ot potatoes for the previous week , from this It will be unfed that there lias liecn a fnlllnic off in the receipts of the four leading articles of country pioducc coming tn this market.

FRUITS. The fruit distributed at the auction sale Fri day afternoon rame Just In time to prevent the market from becoming entirely bare. While there Is quite n little fruit scattered about among the fruit houses , stocks are light anil cannot last but a short tlmo. So f.ir ns can he learned , there Is no more California fruit to be had until the freight blockade shall he raised In the west nnd shipments be lesumed once more. Of coutse n stray car that has been held nt some point might rind Its way In , but dealers lulve been looking for Just uch cars nnd they report tint e\crythlng Is cleaned up so far as they can learn. It would look now as If It was only n ques tion of n day or two when the market would be entirely bare of Cnlifnrnl.i fruit , and there Is Just now very little fruit of any olh r kind to take Its place. Oranges have about played out. there being only a. " few boxea all lold In the city ; pineapples are gniie nnd southern summer fruits nre not -Arilvlng In quantities sutllclent to cut any figure In the market. Illack- berrles are , however , plenty , or at leapt have been plenty during the p.ixt twn or thiee days. Taken all In'Till. the outhvik for the fruit business during the next few days is not at all brilliant.

The week closes on the Stock exchange with a hoary tone to the speculation , solely ns a result of the continuance and threatening character of the railway strike. It was not until today that U'nl ! street took serious alarm at the con dition of affairs In the western railway world. Thus It wns that the Influence of the strike was nil absorbing In the stock market , and the Immediate future of tpucttlatlva values depends entirely upon the course of the railway workers , and It Is not alone sliaro values that are affected. The ntcrllng ex change market developed a hardenlnj ; tocl.ty liy reason of the growth of a belief that If the situation docs not Improve American securities will be returned by foreign hold ers In such amounts ns to cause a heavy demand for sterling bills , which would con sequently command higher rates. The entire financial horizon Is therefore cloutled nnd no week of this yoir has closed with less of light to see Into the near future of the stock market than docs this one. The course of values today for these reasons alone was downward , prices , with scarcely an exception , declining steadily from the opening to the close of business. The sel ling was largely of long stock , which the holders did not care to carry over Sunday. There were some sales for the short ac count , but In small amounts , the bears realizing that should there be a settlement of the labor difficulties the effect would re sult In a sharp advance In the market. Pullman was the heaviest sufferer of the entire list , declining 2 per cent. Lead pre ferred fell off 1V4 per cent , Ilurllngton nnd United Slates Cordage preferred Hi per cent , Northern Pacific nnd Sugar each 1 per cent and the rest of the list > 8 per cent. The tone of speculation at the close was de cidedly heavy , nnd tha market closed with n downward tendency lit prices. The railway and miscellaneous bond market was very dull nnd weak In nyinpatliy with the share speculation.

The week closed with n fnlr Saturday's rim of cattle , the receipts -bolus slightly In excess of the previous Saturday. The re ceipts for the week as a whole wcro In excess of the week before nml larger than for the corresponding weeks In 1S92 or 1S9II. From the ttrst of the year up to the present date the total receipts of cattle foot tip 383,672 , being n loss of 2C.09S as compared with the corresponding period In 1893. The receipts of hogs today were the heavi est that they have been during the past week or ten days , but , taking the week as a whole , there has been a heavy decrease an compared with last week. Since the tlrst of the year there has been a gain In tha number of hogs received at these yards of 213,551 , as compared with the name lime last year. The following will show plainly the situation as regards receipts : Cattle. Hogs. Sheep Receipts this week . 12.1S1 23,577 873 Receipts last week . 10.415 41.273 2.7SI Samp week 1S93 . 8.5.11 2U.211 1.33D Same week 1892 . 12,171 40,810 1.261 CATTLE Out of the 2.800 cattle received there were twenty-live loads consigned di rect to local packers from Kansas City. There was , however , a very fair showing of beef steers In the yards , among them a number of loads of heavy , fat cattle. The market opened with the handy llttlo cattlt > selling at nearly steady prices , but no one appeared to be at all anxlom for the heavier graded. Later shipping orders caused some Improvement to the trade , but the heavy cattle could safely bo called lOc lower. The market as a whole was not active , but before - fore the close the yards were pretty well cleared. As has been the case for some little time back the supply of butchers' stock was quite limited , and a gocd deal of It not overly de sirable. The market did not show any very marked change , good stock bringing fully steady prices , while the poor and rough stock sold as low as ever. Veal calves brought about yesterday's prices. The market on stockers and feeders was aulet , as has been' the case on every day slnco the great strike began. Dealers are slow buyers , as the outlet Into the country Is poor , and no one knows when It will be Improved. Trices have not shown much ihango and could hardly be qucted different from day to day , still there has been a downward tendency , which U plainly not'ce- able when comparisons are made with a week ago.

The shippers were not trying to do any thing , not having any orders , and the local packers did not appear to care whether they got any hogs or not. Early sales of fair to good loads were made mostly at from $1.70 to $4.75 , nnd over one-half of the of ferings sold at the latter pi-Ice and under , as against $4.85 to $4.95 yesterday. A llttlo later In the day the arrival of shipping orders , as usual , had a stimulating effect upon the mar ket , and $1.75 and $4.80 became the popular prices for desirable loads. The market closed up firm , nnd a few loads brought $4.85 and $4.00. Taken ns a whole. It was a very uneven market , and In many respects unsatisfactory. Hepresentatlve sales : No. Av. Sh. Pr.
