Tlic six days put linve witnessed
still further progress In the upward move
ment noted the past few \vetks nnd the
business situation of the city nnd tributary
country continues tb Improve. The guilt l
not especial ! } rapid , but It Ifl constant , nnd
ijvory Indication would ncem to point In n
continuance. Thtin Mr the most marked
Improvement Is to bo found In jobbing and
manufacturing circles , duo to the fact that
the country was the first to experience nn
Uiislng up In money , due to the sale of farm
crops nnd live slock. The Improvement ,
however , Is extending to nil department
of business and IH comm nclriR to be felt
by the local retail trade , which would ,
under the condition prevailing In Ibis clly ,
bo Hie last to cxtwrlence nny marked re
vival.
The country Is still \cry much disposed to
luy cheap goods , and the demand for higher
priced merchandise of nil kinds Is very light
In nil cases where It Is possible to make
u cheaper and Inferior article answer the
purpose deslnd. It U only natural to ex
pect , however , thai the craze for cheap
Koods will gradually wpnr llself out us
money becomes easier nnd peoples feel tint
they can afford to bo n little more liberal
in the mutter of expenditures , lly reason
of the great quantity of cheap goods thai
nre going Inlo eonxumpllon tno volume of
Hales , hs compared with previous years ,
when higher priced Koodi were free sellers ,
makes a very poor showing. It may also
bo added thai the dlllleulty of selling
higher priced goods nt present constllulcs
Iho most frequent cause or complaint on
the p-irl of manufacturers and Jobbers.
They are selling goods enough , but the only
trouble Is that they arc tinnlilc to sell the
kind of gociU that Ihoy vmnt to sell and
the kind upon which Ihere Is Home proIH.
OUTIXXHv FOIl JOIIHINa UUSINHSS
The outlook for the Jobbing trade of this
city l'i certainly very bright , and Itwould
bft a dllle.ult ! matter to Imagine a con
dition of affairs moro promising thnn that
now at hand. During the p tnlc years east
ern Jobbers were scared out ot this teirl-
tory , nnd western merchants were foircd
to buy their goods nearer iir home , as tbeli
home Jobbers were the only ones who bad
HUlllclcnt confidence In the tecuperatlve
ability of the country to pu : out merchan-
dhu on the usual terms of trcdlt The re
sult was that the Omnha Jonbers IncreaKM
the number of accounts on their hooks
with ijteat rapidity Uvon during the
height of the dull times , wnen no one was
buying more than was absolutely necea-
miy nnd when the whole western country
appeared to be trying to see how little It
was iiecessiiiy to have In older to sustain
life , the jobbers were steadily Increasing
the number of accounts on their books.
Merchants who had been In the habit of
Kolng east for goods suddenly found it to
their Interest to buy nearer home.
Now , then , It Is generally conceded by
\ those who me In n position to know that re-
tall Blocks over the whole country are ex
tremely low , and that merchants In eveiy
line have been dolpg- business In a hand-to-
mouth manner. It would follow then that
with the Inri eased number ot accounts on
their books even a moderate Increase In
the country consuming denmnil would bring
In n Hood of buying ordeiu that would nl-
most swamp the jobbing houses. This Is
what a good many expect to see In the near
future and some are nlready making
piepit itlons to meet It.
During the p-ist three years Omaha job-
bei.s have penetrated Into new teirltor >
that they did not think It possible to handle
from this point before , nnd have added still
fuither to thu number of buyers who seek
this m irkct
At C'hliURO business Is vetv dull No one
in C'hlcigo attempts to dispute the fact
and much of the dullness lj unmlstakibb
duo to the rcroat shrinkage In the trade of
that city west of tha Mississippi river. U
now , icmalns to bn seen whether the citj
b > the lakes will over be able to regain Its-
lost prestige In this territory orvhp.hei
Omaha Jobbers who staved by the trade
elinlng the scary times will be able to hold
what thev have won
Duslnchs at South Omnhn continues In n
most FMtlsfactory condition , receipts of
Htock being liberal and the market favora
ble As already pointed out In previous re
ports the prlce > s nt which live stock Is sell
ing -ire netting the producer very band-
Homo prollts , and there Is general sitlsfic-
tlon In nil blanches of the trade. The live
s tnck business , or more especially the cattle
Industry , appears to bn Just entering upon
a period of great activity and ns well ns of
high prices. The supply of cattle has been
gradually falling lower until all of a sud
den Htockmi > n have come to icallze that
cattle are becoming sea co. nnd now they
nil want them. If anyone had predicted a
tow years ago , at the time of the cattle
gluts and when fortunes wcro being lost
in the shrlnKugc tof cattle values , that Iowa
would be Importing stock cattle from
Gnnada to renlunlsh the declm ited herds In
1S97 ho would have been regarded as u ( It
candidate for an asylum.
CAIJFOItNIA rilUIT SI3ASON.
The season for fresh fruit nhlpments from
Cnllfoinla IH now neur ac nand , but U Is
coming none too soon , ns good apples arc
no longer to ho had and otanpes arc ! be
coming scarce and high , nnd it would not
bo long until there -would bo nothing but
berries on the market. It Is safe to pity
that California fruits ara the man popular
of all that come to this .niiiilcot , and the
time when there will bn n Plentiful sunp'.y
is eageily awaited by many people. Sonic
people like ) apple" , others fancy oranges and
Htlll others crave' small fruits , such n
strawberries , but eveiy one onjoyn Cali
fornia fruits , and the consumption of cher
ries , pene-hes , plums , pears and apricots
from thnt state Is becoming hnger every
year.
Tor n city oC Its size pninlin has always
been a very large buyer of California fruits ,
nnd n good many carlo ins aru disposed of
In the course of a summer season
The tlrst shipments from California In
considerable quantities will be of cheriles ,
followed liv nprlcots , IJien earlv peachi > s ,
nnd later plums , prunes , the Inrdlorccjuhe *
and iiL'.irrt. The season this jcnr Is snld to
bu about two weeks later th'in usual , but
the cra- > promises to bei vary abundant.
Cherries have already commenced to go
forward , but In verv limited quantities so
far. The Mrst cherries of the season sold
In Chicago nt $ ( ! per ton-pound box.
The movement of fruit this reason Is ex
pected to bo for the most pirt in refili-
erator rars , the same as laHt year nnd yt.ir
before. Heretofore fiult transported In re
frigerator e.ira lias been sent on regular
trains , making usual schedule freight time
to eastern cities. This sea-ua the Southern
Pac-lllc has made arrangements for special
fapt trains thnt will save suvernl hours
time between Sacramento and Ogden and
put thu fruit liito Omaha In a much frcslu-r
condition. It fa also proposed to time trains
so that they will arrive hero In time for
early moinlni ; deliveries Instead of ntrlv-
Ing after the close of the day's mntket ,
thus being forced to lay over until the next
day.
IjvervthliiK would se-em to point to the
probability of there being a large supply
of fruit at Omaha from thu const this sen-
non , and nil largo receipt ! ) usually menu
reasonable prlcns It will bo within the reach
of every oiu desiring to buy.

IVbeelM Turn More Itnpldly the
TIIIICM Imprint' ,
About the busiest people In the city Just
now are the manufacturers , nnd the wheels
nro turning iniind with something of the
old-time celerity In some establishments nt
least ,
Among the busiest of the manufacturers
Just now nre the makers of overalls , men's
shirts , ducK-llned goods nnd similar linen.
Omaha 1ms three factories rtevoted to the
manufacture of Htioh goods , .M. II , Smith
& Co , Klnc ft Bmead nnd Kntt-Nevlns
company These threu llrms am now giving
employment to KJ people , which include
eiperntlves In factory , otllee help and : travel
ing salesmen. In 1VJJ thu n\erago number
of pcoplu employed by tnr.se three fnu-
torli-s was. nccordlng to thu ntutistlcs com
piled by The lleo nt the lime , SIS , or X2
less than nt tlm present time. On January
1 , 1S93. the number employed was 412 , or IS-1
less than ut the present date.
In Kpllu of thu dull Umea the manufac
turers wcro steadily Increasing their terri
tory Und the number of their customers
until now that times are Improving some
what they aru pushed to Keep up ulth
the orders. In addition to increasing the
luunlwr of employes they have put In much
faster machines , capable of doing 5 to iM
) wr cent moro work than the old ones , thus
lidding largely to tlm capacity of the fac
tories. If times continue to Improve there
will be Htlll further mldltlona both to the
plant nnd the number nf employes.
'The ' Omaha ov lt manufacturers sell
V goods east almost to the MUslaslppI river ,
and ns far we t as the 1'uclilo count.

\shlch npponred to hnve la-un unmoved by
the knowlulRe of ye trrdny's tlecllnp hare
and thut market closed nt unchanged
prices. That nppcnred to ho the only bull-
Mi Inllucnce , but It wai Rtroiif ? cnotiKh
to open wheat at from Mi1 to V1 nilvnnce.
Hut the RtrniBth failed almost Immediately
The J majority of the i > mintara took more
nc-count of favorable crop news , Biti-h an
the tthowers In Callfornl.ierc taksn to
be , than of steadiness In Liverpool , which
they knew would not continue Ions In the
face of cheaper offering rruni here. They
supplied the early demand anil bad moro
for sale , which they could onlv B t rid of
by shading the price every few minutes
until the price of July had tumbled from
73V4C. which wits pild for a few loti at the
start , to "JKc , nt which then- were si-llern
about 11 o'clock The shipments abroad
of whcul nnd Hour from hoth coiiHls this
week weie equal to 2ls.1S7li bu. , itRiilnst
1,7 ! ,000 bu on the week before and I't0.1,030
bu. on the cot responding week last year.
ArKrntlna iihlpped no wheat to tturopp this
week , Iterulpts at Minneapolis nnd Uuluth
amounted to 310 cars , airalnxt 27"i la"U week
and M7 u year ago ChlciiRo iccrlpts were
reported at seven cars. The liquid itlon , nl-
thoiiKh not heavy enough to : ako an active
market , was still sulllolent to keep prices
down until near the close , when some re
covery tnsupil on the announcement that
2WCOO bu. of cash whe.it had been worked
here The market on this nilv.inccd to
72 ? c , which was the cloning price.
Corn was weak after the llrst few min
utes of the session. Country offerings weie
moro liberal , and Hhort selleis was freer
than any day this week , the generally
favorable weather making the crowd bear
ish. The rarly strength w . caused by the
hlghor Liverpool market Imports wore
TOl.OW bu July opened He higher nt 25M.C.
sold in 2"i > 8c , and declined to iMjdc , closing
ut 2JXc.
Quito an active session was passed In
oils A heavy feeling was nppircnt and
prices dioaped. local longs being chiefly
responsible Commission housss bought
freel > after the Mlrst decline. Sellers wcie
Influenced by the weakness or corn. July
opened a shade higher at 18V < , o , di-cllned to
ISc , nnd recovciPd to IS' c , wlioro It closed.
Provisions wcie verv weu-c. Heavy ic-
celpts of hogs caused free selling from
tlu > outfcPt , and very little support wits
given the in.ukct. Some stop loss orders
v\cre received. At the clo .e July pork was
lOc lower at JS-S3 , July laid 7Uc lower at
S3S7'A nnd July ribs about lOc lower at
from $1 53 to t-l S7M- .

bcll , commercial aBctit ot the Queensland
government , Is hero on belmlt of the colony
ot Queensland and hopia lo Induce a goodly
number of farmers nnd skilled nitlsans to
emlgiato.
"Wo have several mllllDiis of acres of tlio
fliicHt land that over lay out doors , " said Jlr.
isEell last nlphl , "and we can raise every
thing fiom oardlnc cans to sugar ami man
goes. What we want Is for people of the
middle classes , with experience and some >
capital , to emigrate to Queensland and
develop the natural resourced of Hie count ! y.
There la an abundance of good government
land that may be tented or purchased for a
song. Out of GfiS-197 square miles of land In
the colony , Iho government has only
sold , thus far , 22,21)5 ) square miles. Over
150,000 square inllfo ha\o been leased , and
there lemaln neatly 200,000 square mlleu
open to settlement. The mineral deposits In
the colony are ilch and varied. Wo have , tin ,
cciper and puclous metals In abundance , and
the mints only await development. During
the year 1S2G wo exported l.SOO tons of tin ,
valued at ( ! 4,000 , and our other exports may
ho given as follows- Wool , 31,000 tons , valued
at $15,000.000 ; 30,000 tons of tallow , valued
at $3,000,000 ; 70,000 tons of sugar , only a
portion of which was exported , nnd brought
$122,000 ; skins , $1,000,000 ; hides , $1.200,000 ;
fruits , ? 300,000. In any nnd all of these In
dustries people with expcrlenco and small
capital can make a better living , in my
opinion , thin In any other country In the
world. "

SEATTLE , May 15. The schooner Stella
A. Krlaiul has arrived In port from Ccoka
Inlet , the. first vessel fiom there this season.
The Ki land passed through the longltudo
and latitude where the Slgleln was last
sighted , but rcpoita having seen no signs of
the Icot schooner. The reported loss of thrco
men in crossing the portage to I'rlnco Will-
lain sound Is but a part of the disaster. U
seems that a party of six men left the Inlet
to cross the portage and meet the first
steamer from Juncau. When this party had
been out for several days another party of
three George Hotelier of this city , C. A.
Blacktitona and J. W. Malimnu started
after them. When thu Erland left the inlet.
May 1 , neither of thcso parties had been
heard from , the latter being ten daja over
due.
