$ 1 ECHOES OF THE ANTE ROOM &
The mvorolqn ' amp and officers of llic
Woodmen of KIP Wt lil of this city ore taklnn
the Initiative In a plan to erect a temple
for fraternal ami benevolent organizations
on the exposition ground * . The scheme Is
still In Its Inclplency. but an elfcrt Is to
be made shortly to Interest all societies rep
resented In the city In the matter.
The project pr.tnosca a building which will
erst In the neighborhood of $10,000 or J12.00.X
This expcndisure Is considered audlclcut to
construct a building of suitable size < nid cu >
ncarance. According to the crude plan out
lined , quarters In this building will bo as-
elcncd to every secret society In the city
and Transmlsslsslppl region , and there will
bo also a larRo hall .lor any conventions end
inectltiKR that may bo held.
It In believed that ft building like this will
bo much more satisfactory than separate
buildings of the different orders. As a ir.'tt-
Iciof fact , sonio of the latter arc not rich
enough to put ut > a building Jf their own and
even the richest would not bo able to erect
a striking structure. Yet secret organlza-
t'ciiB ' should certainly -represented at the
exposition , as the wcstcin country Is a hit-
bed of such orders and thoarands of mem
bers will bo In attendance at the onaiHlon.
Again , it Is absolutely wsentlal that some
eetlns place should be provided for secret
oclcty folk during the exposition. There Is
iut one natural secret body to meet here ,
ut that one Is of the highest Importance
nd character the Natlcml Fraternal con-
rcss. Hut besl.les this , a great number
f slate gmndi bodies will ateo meet here In
10 exposition year and Quarters must bo
ound for all of them.
iTbci matter la likely to be agitated among
lie clirfcrcnt i < ecrct societies dur : g the rc-
nalnder of 'the winter and V' la hoped that
y spring'Into some dlflnlto Idea of Uio prc-
alllng sratlment will bi > secured.
N'cw Year's eve was a great night for the
ccrct society psople. Almost every lodge
iall In the city on that night ws lighted up
i-d merriment f.itl tcs'lvltlcs of various
clnflu rc'lgnei ' wlniii. Programs of various
haracti'rs , d'inclng ' and banquets were the
catiircii of the uvcntng. In every case these
lllalrs were very largely attended despite
heir number.
Tl > o month will bo marked by hundreds of
ns'.albtlon cf olllcers throughout tiie elate.
The eeiiil-annual and In same cases . .he an-

ancVwa's'nn important rfarfor hithe" bre : al < In
prices which occurred on Wednesday and
Thursday , the market declining on compara
tively light selling , but no support being
given. The market showed Its greatest weak
ness on Wednesday , May'breaking from 94 %
cents to 92 % cents. Brokers for the bull
clique attempted to Bell on a very dull mar
ket , foreign markets shon'lng considerable
weakness at Wie same time , and a selling
movement was rireclpltate-d. Weak cables
were also Influential In Thursday's decline.
Considerable attention war paid by traders
to the news from the Argentine crop. It ! s
quite generally believed that the exportable
surplus of that country will not exceed
30,000,000 bushels , and this and the renewed
foreign demand , clearances on some days
reaching large figures , were Influential factors
In the strength the market occasionally dl.i-
Olayed. The price range of Daceinber was
from $1.00 < 4 to 94 cents , but trading was
very light nevertheless. It reached Its high
est mark en Tuesday , on buying believed to
be fur the Etocrt Interest existing outalde of
Armour. Prior to yesterday , settlement day ,
the short Interest In December had been
almost entirely eliminated and the cxeltr-
mciU which usually marks the day after auch
a iloal as carried to a conclusion by the-
Lclter Interests was absent. The range of
prices In May was from 94ff94i cents to
01V- cents , the close yesterday , 82 % cents ,
showing 1(3 ( > 14 cents decline for the week.
December's closing price , 95 cents , was 4

The usual mid-holiday quiet has prevailed
during the lust week , no one expecting any
rent doniand for merchandise of any kind
ftor the very heavy trade of the previous
vi-ek. Still there1 has been n fair amount
f liiislnivs doingIn a retail way. In fact ns
nuch or more than wns expected.
Down In the Jobbing district the 'work of
nvolciiiK his been completed and 1ms ab-
orbeil more nttentlon than the matter of
ellliiK goods. In fact Jobbers have not tried
o do much buslncjis durlnc the last six
lays and no very great movement of mer
chandise is expected for the next two or
hroo weeks. It Is presumed that country
ni-rcbants bought Hitlllcletit goods to carry
hem through the rush of the holiday sea-
on and that they will not require very
inuM for a while , excepting In the way ot
small sorting up orders.
In some quarters a rather quiet January
and February are anticipated , such expecln-
10119 being based \ipon the assumption that
the early winter Induced early buying of
cold wi-.Uher merchandise and that the-
wants of consumers have been very larsoly
supplied already. During many years It
inppcus that there Is no cold' weather ot
inv lirmortniirp until nrtnr t\\n \ iicotf iim

December , but very good dm Ing the month
of January , after the coming of oold
weather. This year trade .was pxccodlngly
ictlve during the early winter months , and ,
nerordlng to this theory , business men oiurbt

SITUATION AT SOt'TIl OMAHA.
The oattlo mnrkPt e-onthnies In the dump.
and It Is rather dllllctllt nveii for the hnst
In form eil to arrive at an opinion as to t'le
e-ansen ItMidlng mi to the present stagnation
and ( ll | micro dlllk-ult to form any clear
ostlmato of the future of values. One thins' '
Is very evident and that Is the fact that
the prevent market situation Is fur from
f.ivoi-ablo to the wiling Interest ! ) . During
the last woola receipts at South Omaha have
boon very light , as usu.il ijurlng the Interval
betwvpn the holidays , and prices on that
nepount have shown soiiitv Improvement ,
though thu demand has been of a mo-'t Iti-
clirroront eharaetor. Buyers are Just as
lH-arlsh as they wore two weeks ago , when
they were breaking the -market c-vcry el.iy.
and are only walling mull the rooelpts become -
como larger to send values ila.vn on the run.
AP an evidence of the fpiJlng , a buyer was
heard to rumark the last week that bo wa1)
paying 23 cents per 1X ( ) more for beef
oattlo fian ho would If the receipts were
inoro liberal.
With business conditions Improving in all
sections of the country there would sewn
to bo.no reason for any material reduction
In cattle values , as consumers aro. certainly
nlilo to pay Just ap mucli now as they coultl
la t fall , and , acor.llng to noner.il reports ,
the number of people Fteadlly employed Is
ooiibtantly incrvn ° lng , which moans more
consumers. Whatever 'may be the reasons
the fact rtcrrmlns that there Is a very well
developed boar disposition manifested among
the dressed bc-ef men iwhlch will havo. to bo
reckoned 'Wlt'i. '
The lowering of prlt-os on farm produc-ts
always ha'l an important bearing upon liusl-
no > s operations , but It Is e.-ieol.tlly ] unfortu
nate In this CUSP , as It Is a well known fact
that the farmers and ifoedors of the country
paid very high prleos for their cattle last
fall and are under the necessity of ve curln
corriFponcllngly high prices for their beef or
piilfer heavy losses.
If there shall prove to bo no better reason
for the bearing- t'.io oattlo market than
nay ii-joar [ on the surface at the present
line i-oneprtL-il acton ] among the feeders of
ho country In the. way of holding bark
thplr cattle may have a beneficial fftVet and
novont what might otherwise bo ruinously
ow prices. Toi market the oattlo now with
i rush lAouItl mean the loss of all the food
nnd labor expended , while by holding them
jack , and letting the.ni . come .forward only
is they are ripe It may bo ( possible to pre
vent a perioiin demoralization of prices.
While the situation In the cattle market
i rather discouraging , hogs nre looking up.
[ I is brooming more- evident every day that
the tuckers wunt the hogs , and , while they
may be expected to resist an advance as tar
as possible , the tendency seems to bo on
the side of a' ' higher range of values. December -
comber closed at the high point cf the
month nnd with the market In a most
lir-althy and eneourasliig condition , viewed
from a seller's standpoint.
THROWING BOUQUETS AT NEBRASKA.
The west has had an enormous appetite
for goods of eastern manufacture ami a
great many factories In the down-cast state *
would have remained closed had It not beet :
for the consuming demand from the western
states. Thousands of traveling men have
been put In the western field , and , almot
.vlthont exception , to the great profit and
advantage of the eastern manufacturers ,
Xo state , however , hns > responded more
liberally to the blandishments of eastern ,
traveling-men than Xobrnska , and on their
part the travelling men have returned the
compliment by giving Nebraska a very good
ic-putatlon In mercantile and manufacturing
oireles In the oast.
Several times of Ia1o attention has been
called to the- changed tono. of the commer
cial props of the country ns regards fils
state , and , ap being along the s > ame line , the
following from the American Wool and Cot-
toij Reporter of Boston , one of the Inrse-s't
commercial ipapors In the east , may be of
Interest :
"Tho whirligig o'f ' time works few more
striking changes than that which has char
acterized the west In thoi last few mont.is.
For years the demoralization of thai sec
tion of the country was the le/ullng feature
connected with the material Interests r-f the
American people. The west had received a
blue-k eye , ' from which , In the opinion of
comti perFonp , It would not recover for niaay
years to come. This meant a good deal an
regards the prosperity of the rest of t'ap '
country , for not only was the west the boat
customer of the. . eastern manufacturer , but
It also cv. , e < l a van amount of money on
mortgages to Investors scattered all over the
o'.dor portions of the United States to say
nothing of Great Britain. To bo deprived of
the market for Its goods , and of the Inter
est on Its farm mortgages , not taking Into
account such other lto.ms . as the reduction
or cessation o ? returns on money Invested
In western railroads whloh were , of course ,
paralyzed by the oollapse of biislnc-ps In the *
locality wo are discussing was for the east
an Incalculable hard'hlp.
"Such was the Hate of affairs up to a few
months ago. The west was distinctly under
a cloud Tho. east possessed all the proy-
pf-rlty that was discoverable * by the ordi
nary observer. A grc-at change has , how
ever , taken 'pliico rocomiy. The talk today
Is not of prosperity in the east. The ac
tivity Is now largely centered In the wept.
Conrpnred with other sections the fooling
which pervades the wont Is one of exuber
ance and the eapt Is standing by to patch
the rollox Inllimne-o n little later on , *
Hut the fanner has already done more than
make payment on his mortgage. Ho has
begoin to buy c-f thin \Aord's ! goo-is In quan-
tltlus not equaled In a great many years.
The rovlvil of Runornl business In the east
hati so far been only moderate- , but In tin-
west II has been very great. This fact Is
g'eane-d not only from local tradesmen In
that f-ei'tlon , but also from traveling men
fiom the e.-ist. The farmer's prosperity
oan perhaps bn no itnoru pleat ly Imlle-ntcil
than by the statement that sue-n commodi
ties as carpetr usually classed among thu
luxuries are now In reat dc-mand In the
west , and the duilors there have- lately boon
giving larpo or.lors to eastern manufac
turer * . In fact the Indications nro that the
renewed pronierlty cannot bo much longer
conllliod to tno west , but must comet east
In the * shane of orders for nil kinds of goods.
This will bo woloomo news to Iho mlllw that
make the article's which the farmer Is de
manding , to the banks which furnls'i the
working capital to tho. railroads 'Ablt-h '
offeot the traiu > . ) ortaton ! , and to a countless
numberiof other lmlutrp | $ which It Is un
necessary to mention. "
