While It Is ImposslblB to nollce anx great
Improvement In the general business condi
tion as regards the Jobbing trailo of Omaha ,
it ID sale to tax that trade la holding Its own.
If them lias been no great Imt > rovcni8nt ,
there certainly lias been no retrograde move-
men f. The ( act IB th.it business has been
moving' along slnoolhly , wllli no important
-featu.ro to attract attention. It lias been a
featureless week In Jobbing circles.
In a general way It may be said that busi
ness Is oil that jobbers could very well an
ticipate under the conditions- that are pre
vailing In the country at the present time.
In some lines , such as groceries und dry
goods , whore there Is a largo proportion of
so-called necessities , a good business la being
transacted , wlillc In some other lines there Is
B Blrong disposition among consumer * to
economize and the volume of trade Is ac
cordingly reduced.
The loss of the crops In the country , In
addition to making money scarce with the
farmers , has another direct effect upon trade.
TJiero arc a great many articles of common
USB on the farm for which there Is a largo
. demand when there arc crops to bo hnndled ,
but at the present time , there being small
crops , llio farmers have no use for them and
considerable trade Is cut oft In this -way.
Those jobber ? who happen to bo handling
cowls that come under this head feel the
( lull times worse than those In some other
branches.
A. good many country merchants have bc.cn
noticed In the city tlio pasf neck'and ' while
they have not bought as heavily as on
former seasons , they have all purchased
more or lesj of winter gods , and the total
would make quite a showing , While the
great majority of these merchants complain
of a light trade , they expect to da some busi
ness and are preparing : to tuke care of It as
It comes. One good feature < f ( ho situation
In the country \ that thcro are no burden-
BoniB slocks cf goods on the shelves to be
carried over to another season. Thli leaves
the merchants IrcO to buy only what there
hi a demand f r.
Collections , as might be expected , are slow
and there Is a good deal of complaint on this
score from the country. The enforced sale
of stncic has. however , made money moro
plenty in some sections ot the state than
might have been expected.
The bank clearings at Omaha during- the
past week have been small , there being no
gain over Ite corresponding week a year
ago While this Is not n very satisfactory
showing. It is no worse than that made by a
good many other cities ; In fact , thcro are
not a few cities that show a decrease as com
pared with a year ago.
At the South Omaha live stock market
there has been a good deal of activity during
the past six days. Tha receipts show a
small gain c-vcr tbo previous week on nil
kinds of stock , but at the same time the ar
rivals of hogs have been less than during
the corresponding weeks ot 1893 cr 1892 , as
will bo noted from the following ;

As to the market , there has been a de
cided decline on some kinds of cat lie. One
exception \ In Uiu case of corn fed cat
tle , which have held up In price , owing to
the good demand and the scarcity. At the
close ot tho-week a sale WB * . made at the
v
highest price paid in a good many months
for c6rn cattle , "as will be noted from the
market reports In another column
Jlange cattle , which constitute the bulk
of the dressed beef .cattle arriving at the
present time , have declined 15 to 25 cents
in I ho course of the week. The heaviest de
cline has taken place on cows , \vhlcli are
25 to BO ccnta lower than they were last
week. The arrivals of this clnss c > [ stuck
have been largo , and thai has been one of the
c'lltf ' CIWPS In depressing the market Tha
demand , lu.wover , has been tieivy , iiml the

Q , Dun & Co.'a Mercantile agency , sayji :
"September starts In with good promise
In the jobbing trade , but retail dealers complain -
plain of the warm weather. It aeems now
to bo very geneiully believed In wholesale
circles that the Increased number ot buyers
will mnkn up In a great measure for the
large decrease In the average Individual
purchases. With Hruicvly nn exception our
Jobbers , except such lines na are out of

Albert Andrlana , local superintendent for
Sriow , Church & Co.'s mercantile agency ,
writes :
"Biifllnc'SS In general shows n decided re
vival for tin1 week Just ended. In retail
lines tr.idc always picks up somewhat in
September , and notwithstanding the un
favorable conditions that have thus far
pievaltcU.this year proves no exception to
the ireneral rule. The Improvement l.s , of
course , not so markedn.s ItRQiild have
been under moro fa\orablc conditions ,
nevertheless , there Is some Increase In the
volume of business. The department stores
report exceptionally good results for the
week. This Is attributable , no doubt , to
the fnct that people ore buying largely for
cash and principally medium grade goods.
"In wholesale lines business In general Is
decidedly better , while In some lines there
Is only very little Improvement , and In others
the Increase him been unexpectedly Inrge.
Hardware merchants complain of business
and furniture- men , state that their sales
have only Increased very ullghtly. This
condition Is easily accounted for ; there has
been very little building or refurnishing.
Clothing merchants dealing In Ihe better
l.-iiB of goods report only a slight Improve
ment , but the manufacturers ot lower
; rudes report nn unustnlly largo volume of
justness. . Ury goods men are doing well.
As soon UH the failure In crops was a cer-
tnlnty retailers throughout the state coun
termanded tliolr large eastern orders ; these
storekeepers are now buying largely In
Omixhn , and the result Is ranking- Itself ap
parent. Their Mils are small nnd they buy
often , r.xpensivo fabrics nro not In de-
mnml , staples are the rule , as a leading
wholesaler recently remarked , 'This Is a
staple year. ' The profits in this line of
goods are naturally not large , but an In
crease In the volume -of business In the
present state ot affairs Is encouraging In
the extreme.
"Grocersarc doing a good business In
numerous small orders Retailers In this
line buy frequently anil in am.ill quantities.
There Is no doubt that in both of the above
mentioned lines the amount of business this
Tali will show a very heavy Increase on
the corresponding months ot last year. The
facts In the case nre that retailers through
out this territory have depleted their stocks
to- such nti extent th.it they are forced to
nil In In every department. The f.ict , how
ever , that they are purchasing principally
staples Is an Indication of the straitened
condition of consumers generally. The
name gere-rul condition * above enumerated
prevail with toot nnd shoe dealers. Dealers
In limnles ami high grade goods still con
tinue to complain , and thd probabilities are
that In the e lines there Kill be only a
slight Imptovement. It Is to be expected ,
however , that activity In other lines will In
some degree affect these as well
"The feeling of disappointment Incident
tvt the rnllure ot crops is decidedly on the
ivnne anil feirs of the future have ceded to
the necessities of the present. The Inhabi
tants cf the- western counties ot Nebraska
have come to a full realization of their con
dition , -which in many cnsea seemed almost
hopeless. The long trains of prairie
schooners on their eastern Journey has been
a conspIcuouH feature In this section of th
country and the exaggerated reports of de
population have been the cause of much
speculation , A carefut Inquiry as to the
real conditions" , however , brings the In
formation that these emigrants nre com-
noscd largely of the lloatlntr population of
the nftecteil districts , nnd that the hotter
clans of farmers are remaining on their
' "Several counties have already voted Irri
gation bonds and work on the ditches Is
progressing verv satisfactorily This will
dva employment to rrmnv of the farmers ,
and the exp uOltuJe oC the large sums of
money necessary to the completion of. the
work -will make matters In these counties
comparatUely easy during the fall and
winter months.
"A careful nnd conservative summary of
the present conditions presents the situa
tion about as follows : Amirs In the east
are gradually adjusting themselves and the
general tcue of trade Is firmer and bettet
than It has been since the beginning of the
panic. IHislness generally is on the upward
grade ami the country Is In better condi
tion than It has been. The failure of crops
In the west , the great forest flres ot Michi
gan nnd the Hoods In the south nre cer
tainly calamities , the extent of which can
not he under-estimated , but they are local
conditions , and while they materially affect
some ot the best poi tlons of the country and
have their bearing on general business ,
they do not pnitake of the nature of a
general calamity.
"The enoimous crops which nre being
harvested In some parts of the United
Htntert anil Ihe general Improvement of
business affairs In the manufacturing nnd
the laige trading centers will amply coun
teract these local misfortunes , and the
thinking business men will find encourage
ment In the fuel that trade In general Is
showing n very marked Improvement.
"Locally U may be said : That with the
work on Irrigation ditches in progress In
the western counties and the large expend
itures ot money Incident to the same , with
the- depleted stocks of merhcandlse , follow
ing a long term of depression and the abso
lute necessity for replenishing , in order to
meet the ordinary demands of consumers ,
ndded to the growing tendency to purchase
nt the home market , the actual state of
wholesale trade at Omaha far exceeds ex
pectations und the-prospects nre much
brighter than they have been at any time
within the past few weeks.
"There Is hardly a line ot trade today
which does not report nt least n slight Im
provement on the. corresponding months or
last year , ami It only depends upon the
activity anil enteiprise of Omaha whole
salers to what extent this Improvement can
Ite bettered. " _ _

TOLEDO , Sept. 8.--DurlnK the past four
days C. S King & Co have received replies
frorn S.05T reliable dealers and millers. They
cover almost every Important wheat and
clover seed county In Illinois. Michigan , Indi
ana , Kansas und Missouri. Tlieso states
raise most ot the clover seed crop and two-
thirds ot the winter wheat crop , or nearly
one-half of the entire wheat crop of the
United States. Ot the reports 2,311 are from
298 of the large wheat producing counties.
There will bo more wheat fed to animals
this year than e\er before. Interior mills
are dally grinding some , bul mostly to feed
swine , In sections when ) there is a fair corn
crop report , -xery littlei will be fed. Replies
Indicate about 15 per cent ot the whole crop
may be fed In the states named. Kansas
will feed the largest percentages ; Michigan
nearly as much , Missouri next , then Ohio and
Kentucky , while Indiana nnd Illinois will
feed a smaller percentage.

CHICAGO , Sept. S. The Hoard ot Trade
markets today were dull , but linn ; wheat was
sustained by the talk that grain for
feed and corn advanced on the expectation
of a bullish government grain report. Decem
ber wheat closed We higher ; September
corn , % c higher , and September oats , Ytc
higher. Provisions Unladed with moderate
advances.4
The nhcat market opened firm. The
foreign markets were rather caster and. re
ceipts here and In the northwest showed
a tendency toward diminishing. Chicago re
ceipts , 291 cars. Minneapolis reported 382
cars and Duluth 176 cars , or G5S cars to
gether , compared with 015 cars at bath places
a year ago. Bradstreot's made the clearances
of wheat and flour for the week 3,207,000 bu. ,
against 3.420,000 bu. the Meek before. The
clearances from the Atlantic ports for
twenty-four hours amounted to180 000 bu ,
Tha lotal ot the primary market receipts
sere still In the aggregate , close to the
,000,000 bu , mark. Business was > cry light.
Tlio sustaining Influences were the' Indlca-
lens given by the light northwestern re-
50IriU ol n much lighter crop of spring
\hcat lhan many had calculated upon and
f the confirmation coming to hand of. the
ncreastng use of winter wheat for feed.
Tha opening price ot September was 67c. It
dvanced from that to from G7c to 67 &c
nd closed at 57Vic. Attention was drawn
o the fact of the shipments of wheat at
Chicago , Duluth and Toledo , exceeding the
ecelpts today.
The corn market was very ragged and
rregular , but with an upward tendency
or the- - most part and an Improvement es-
abilshed at the close of about % c per
usliel. The effect of the Russian barley
mportatlon had apparently exhausted Itself
nil It was altogether discredited In some
luarters. There was n healthy demand tor
he speculative offerings of corn here In view
f the expectation of the government crop re-
> ort , which will be Issued on Monday , show-
ng further heavy deterioration In the condl-
lon of corn. September , which Closed yestcr-
Iny at B6c. opened at from ECJ c to ECc ,
advanced to 57c and closed with the gain ,
lay started at fil"ic and G5c , advanced to
55c , reacted to 60c and closed at 51c.
Receipts here today were 307 cars and there
were 347,000 bu Inspected out of store.
Business In the oats market was fairly
active ; there was a fair disposition to trade
both ways , but sales wern mostly scattered
nil locil Fluctuations were again -influenced
by corn September ranged Irom 20c to
30y8c and ended at 30Uc bid ,
Provisions acted strong on a moderate
amount of business. The revival of the
bullish spirit of the grain markets helped
> rlces somewhat and hog receipts present
and prospective were light. Today's run was
; oed and for nil next week 100,000 head are
.ha estimated arrivals. Compared with yes

linglnoer Kdnanl SchalTor , on train No.
9 , running between Duffalo anil Rochester
on tha Tails road , ' via Lockport , which ar
rives In this city at 0 o'clock In the evening ,
hail an experlenco last Saturday evening
that made his heir stain ] on end.
The train left Duffalo Saturday evening
abxil 7 o'clock in charge ot Conductor
Knickerbocker , with EnRlnccr Schaffer at
the throttle , says the Rochester Chronicle.
The truln hail a clear trcc1 < , as nas Bun-
posed , between UufTalo ami Lockport , anj
v\as rininliiB nt a high rate of speed Illack
Hock was reached without any mishap. After
leaving that station behind the engineer
sent the train ahead at the rate of over
thirty miles an hour The night was dark
ns pitch and the rain beat against the cab
windows unceasingly. Engineer Schalfer
sat In his sent by the cab window. Tlio
headlight uas of little use In the blinding
rain , and the engineer could see cnly u
few yards In ndvanco of the cnslno The
train sped on la the dirlthess , and BOOH the
up grade , about flvo miles south or. Totm-
wamlans reached. The wielneer opened
the throttle wider , the fireman sliovcled
coat faster. The hill wan passed and the
train rumbled on through the stcrm.
Suddenly ft Hash of lightning , followed by
a lerrinc peal c thunder , lit up the- track a
half mile ahead. Schaffer was looking ahead
Just at that moment , and a sight ma ( his
Kazo that sent tha blood .from bis chpaks.
Twenty yards ahead four freight cars were
standing on the track Grasping the re-
vcrso lever hu pulled It back to the last
notch and shouted to the fireman to put on
the airbrakes. The fireman's blood seemed
to freeze In his veins , and , seizing the bn.lce
lover , he sent the air through the train full
force. At the same msment Schaffer sot the
emergot-cy brakes. Tlie strong locomotive
creaked and grozned. The engineer -and
fin-man , with blanched checks , stood looking
Into each other's faces , while the perspiration
tr cklod from their foreheads In largo" drops.
Hut only for n moment , fcr the engine tot
tered and both of them were thrown to the
floor ol the cab
The shock was so sudden that the passen
gers In the coaches were thrown frum their
scats , the chandeliers swung from Iho cell
ing and two of them fell to the Hear. One.
man was thrown completely over the seal
In trout ol him , landing with his held
shoieJ under the second sent In front , nnd
his feet propped up against the breast of
an elderly gentleman behind In such a man
ner as to hold him firmly In. his seat. One
young lady was , by the force of the shock ,
lifted frm her seat , cst'rled Into tha alsla
and deposited In the lap of a man who waa
lying on hla back In the aisle.
The baggage man was at Hie time en
gaged In checking a trunk. He did not
check it Just then , however , for when the
shock caino the trunk eluded his grasp and
started wltli the other baggage for the other
end of the car. The baggageman wai
found afaw mlnutca laler covered with
satchels In one corner of tlie car. After the
excitement had subsided the conductor and
engineer got off the train to Irivestlfiito th
situation. They found the jillot of the en-
glno shoved a foot beneath the caboose of
the freight , train ahead. As they w ro but
a few miles from Lckporl the freight was
pushed Into tlio yard limits and sidetracked ,
the train proceeding on Its w y lo Lock-
port.
port.Old engineers rn the Central Hudson prc- HI
notiiico It the most wonderful stop they hail
ever heard of. The Hash of lightning was
oil that saved the lives of over 200 passen
gers on hoard the train.
