The nrst week In January could hardly
lie expected to bring about any material
Improvement In the general trade situa
tion. Sufllclcnt time has not yet elapsed
for the effects of the holiday season to
, wur off. and It frequently happens that
the middle of the month Is near at hand
before conditions cnn bo said to have set
tled back to normal.
The labor Incident to the annual stock
taking always breaks over Into the new
year and for a few days lit least serves na
n distracting Influence , taking the minds of
merchants away from their routine duties
of buying and selling. In addition to
itlmt , the nrst week ot the new year Js
usually well along before the traveling
men are back In their places on the road
nnd It Is a few days later before orders
from them can bo expected to arrlvo very
freely. Thus It happens that no great
things are expected of the first week of the
new year and the ? ast six days have not
nerved to establish any new precedent.
Thcro wan a fair movement of merchandlso
lor Kie season , and that Is the best that
can bo said.
The severe storm the first of the week
was , for the tlmo being , to the detriment
of the country retail trade , as It Interfered
with the shipment of live stock and grain ,
nnd consequently with the circulation of
money. , The change to colder weather ,
however , was decidedly benollcl.il , us It
Ill-ought out a dcrmiml for heavy goods
nnil quickened the buying of winter sup
plies of various kinds.
In the city t'.io retail trade has not
lieen very brisk , the sudden change to
mild weather again being little to the
liking tot merchants In general.
CAM-i OMAHA SLOW.
The Superior Journal of recent date rep
resents two business men as making com-
jiarlsons between different Jobbing points ,
in which It was said that Omaha and
a.lncoln are getting the reputation of beIng -
Ing slow towns. One of the speakers Is
quoted a saying : "You send an order to
Omaha nnd not more than three out of
ten llrms will acknowledgn receipt of tho.
order If they can not 1111 it Instantly. So
the mcrttiant ROCS on , wondering why
those poods don't come and whether they
received his order , and .whether to send
In another notification for them to 'get a
jnovo on' and fill that order. Kansas City
jieoplo remove that anxiety by notifying
you when to expect your goods nnd don't
keep you swearing at all your relatives
JIB a safety valve for your feelings for a
week. "
So far as can bo learned there Is con-
filderablo Justice In thu complaint as re
gards Superior. The country merchant
usually writes out nn order for goods at
night , after the rimi of the day's busi
ness Is over. Such nn order mailed nt
Superior would go out on nn evening train
and reach Kansas City the next morning
iibout 7 o'clock , which would give the
Jobllcr ample tlmo to got the goods out the
name day or notify the merchant when
they could bo shipped. If the letter were
pent to Omaha , Instead of reaching hero In
t'ho ' morning It would not got In until late
In the afternoon , too late for It to receive
attention that day.
It can readily be seen what the effects of
nucli a difference jn tlmo might make a
letter mailed Friday would reach Omaha
Saturday afternoon , the filling of the order
would have togo over until Monday , and
It would bo Tuesday or later before the
Roods would reach Superior , a long tlmo
for ono to wait who Is In a big hurry.
When the Jobbers were on their fast ex
curslon In south\Ycstcrn Nebraska this
very subject was brought up at Superior ,
1 > nt there did not appear to bo any help
for It so long as the trains run a at
liroflont. Fortunately there nro not many
points In the state whcro the situation Is
elmllar to that of Superior.
PKWEIl KATLUIIKS IN NEBRASKA.
For the year just closed Nebraska I *
credited with 1S2 business failures , the
nssetn of the bankrupt institutions being
placed at J2.U5.707 nnd the liabilities nt
J2,78SWH ) . This showa a decided decrease
In the number of .failures , which , for 1S93
reached 2K , with assets at J1,41S,600 , nnd
liabilities ab $2.35 , WX ) .
While Nebraska has shown n decrease In
the number of failures , every other ono of
the northwestern states reports an Increase ,
Wisconsin Jumped from 2'J3 In 1S93 to SSffl In
18M. Minnesota from 320 to 363 nnd Iowa
from 331 to 391. Among the southwestern
Btates nil report Increases except Kansas ,
whtoh had C53 failures In 1S93 and 653 In
1S9C.
1S9C.A careful study of the record of the year's
commercial losses would bring out very
plainly the fact that Nebraska has been
ono of the most fortunate of all the states
In the union In escaping such disasters.
NKHUASKA. MUTTER TRADE.
According to statistics Just Issued by the
Agricultural department at Washington the
fitato of Nebraska produced within a
period of twelve months 7,400,000 pounds of
"ladled" butter. Omaha , as the commercial
center of the state , has a very large share
of this business , but there are factories for
turnlm ; out "Indies" at Wnhoo , Lincoln ,
IStiutrlce and other points as well , though
this city muy be regarded as the center of
the Industry so fur us Nebraska Is con *
corned.
The average value of "Incited" butter at
Omaha , for all Kenyans , Is not far from 10
cents per pound , which , taking the govern
ment MgurcK ns a basis , would Indicate an
annual product of the value of $7-10,000.
Those figures are significant when It Is
taken Into consideration that they repre
sent only ono branch of the butter business
and by no means the most Important
branch. "Ladles" nro manufactured from
the lowest grades of farm butter , the pro- '
ductlon largely of the small and unpro-
tfrcsslvo farmers who have not as yet
lenrnrd the art of making good butter. If
the vnluo of the product of all the cream-
orlt'H of the stat nnd of the dairies which
turn out a high grndo article were added
thi < above llgurcs would bo doubled several
times over.
The production of "ladles , " however. Is
of snlllclcnt Importance to merit attention
by Itself , though the extent of the business
In hardly appreciated by any ono not con
nected with the butter trade , with the ex
ception , possibly , of the-'oxpress companies.
7ho manufacture of "ladles" Is an Industry
peculiar In large degree to the west , whore
the butter mudo by the small farmers la dis
posed of In small lota at the country store.
The condition of a very large- part of this
butter Is surih that the merchants cannot
Bi-ll It to their re I nil customers.
These small lots of poor , Tlamagcd nnd
thoroughly bad butter have to bo disposed
of to factories which gather large quantities
of the material nnd HO manipulate nnd rcno.
yuto It ns to bring It Into a merchantable
form as a food product. In the Inngungo
of the butter market , these goods are known
ns "Indies. "
FIHLO FOR A MANUFACTURER.
The newer dairying districts of the north-
vifnt product ] Immcnso quantities of butter
Jiwhleh nro sultabln only for the making
of "Indlcn. " As noted heretofore , the prod-
; uot of Nebraska In handled . largely at
- Omaha , but In the Dakotas there are no
HtabllHhments for the manufacture of
"ladles nnd the low crude gutter from
, those states Is shipped largely to Chicago
; nnd. to points In Iowa nnd Minnesota.
Thu rapid increase In the number of
creameries tends to reduce the business ,
j wit the opening up of new /arms keeps up
the supply.
The farmer usually sells his butter nt
the store In exchange for morchnndlse.
The prlco nllowcil nt nny one store Is the
name , qulto regardless of the quality of the
butter , us It Is necewnry to trt'iit all the
farmers allko. The merchant dunii3 | the
butter of all grades Into the most con
venient receptacles thnt mny bo nt hand
nnd periodically sends It to the city for
"ladling , " Flour barrels , starch boxes ,
shoo boxes nnd even Boap boxes have been
Indiscriminately utilized for this purpose.

HubviUi-ntly | the In H-rst > Ioti that the Cameron
resolution had been practically shelved causeil
n moru confident sentiment , which was height
ened by more favorable railway earnings nnd
the decided strength of the wheat market. The
last consideration brought the granger etocks Into
favor. The exceptionally largo accumulations ot
fiindn nt this center resulted In nn Improved In
quiry for nnd decided strength In railway nnd
miscellaneous rectirltlca for Investment. Tlio
most Important development of the week was the
nctlon of the directors of the Delaware & Hudson
Canal company , nt their meeting ? on Wednes
day , In reducing the rate of dividend for th
year , 1591 , from 7 to 8 per cent. The company
lias been justly considered the banner earning
coal property , nnd the prominence of many of Ita
directors In the world of finance caused excep
tional Interest In the dividend reductions. The
unfavorable conditions In the nnthracltc region
have been a subject for comment for many
months past , but hardly nny one hod anticipated
that the Delaware & Hudson would show only
5 per cent earned on the stock , or that the direc
tors would have the moral courage to reduce the
dividend lo that figure. Criticism of the policy
adopted hns been universally favorable , as con
trasting with the methods ( bat have. In the cares
of many leading railway nnd other proper
ties , wrought financial ruin to the security holt ! ,
em. The stock moved widely. After n rise of
4 % per cent , to 121 ? ; , the prlco dropped to 111
on the dividend action ; the stock left off C per
cent lower. The pas stocks fluctuated widely ,
and were Influenced by the tenor of advices
from Albany en various gas measures. Gossip
ns to the dividend chances of some of the low
priced stocks , Including the Chesapeake & Ohio ,
wns reflected In prices. lying1 Island Improved
decidedly , nnd shows nn exceptional gain of 8
per cent on the news of the formation of a syn
dicate to protect the Corbln holders nnd develop
the resources nnd facilities of the company. Con-
solldatcd Ons ruse STi per cent , to 14S % , declined

weak , but n firm undertone prevailed , ns n rule.
In splto of realizations and comparative prices ,
generally speaking- , show Improvement. The
fluctuations In foreign exchange excited some
comment , owing to the strength exhibited , due
to an Increased demand for account of large
commercial Interest , which eventually forced out
hoarded exchanges. The aggregate sales were
707.S33 shares.
The bond market today displayed Increased
strength , nnd a wide distribution of business on

CATTL13 The receipts of cattle were
light as usual at the close of the week , and
there wore not enough of any ono kind
hero to make very much of a market. The
truilo , naturally , under such conditions , was
devoid of especial Interest , the buyers tak-
lntr the cattle lit about the same prices us
were paid yesterday. The duinand was
good and everything changed hands early
In the morning.
The cattle market of the past week was
largely under the Imluenco of the snow
Htonn , which occurred the llrst of thu
week , and which cut down receipts very
materially. The light receipts of Monday
and Tuesday gave the market a sharp
upturn , values on Tuesday bc-lnp recorded
25o higher than the previous week , on buef
cnttle. Hy Wednesday the roads were
open and the cattle came In large num
bers , breaking the market badly that day
and the day following , until at the cl < wo
of the week the advance was all lost and
possibly a little more. The demand was
good all the week , and it was ? no trouble
to dispose of each day's nrtlvals at the
current prices.Representative soles :
