LOCAL BANKING CONDITIONS
Expansion of Business Shown by the Lost
General Statement ,
MONEY PLENTY AND LOANS SCARCE
Himtcrn Itnnkcrn I.onn < n WoHtcrn
Jlprchnn. ! * at Low tlntcn , CutlltiK
Oft the Dptiinnit from Ho met
, Institution ! . ,
From time to time during the last few
month * attention has been called In thcso
columns to largo gains In bank clearings
over the records ot previous years. While
bank clearings furnish a very good Indica
tion of the course of business , they are so
easily manipulated that they do not cairy
the weight that their Importance merits.
Tor that reason the bank statements Just
published showing- the condition of the na
tional banks on February 18 are particularly
Interesting ns affording Indisputable evi
dence of the steady expansion of all business
Interests.
As compared with a year ago there has
been a gain In the deposits amounting to
nbout 33'/i per cent , showing that there la
more money In the city and country and thut
people arc placing It In the banks , not hav
ing other use for It. At the same tlmo
loans and discounts ha\o not expanded In the
same proportion as dcposita , the gain In this
respect amounting to only about 25 per cent.
In this the situation Is not to the liking of
the bankers , who complain of a lack of de
mand for money. The number ot good loans
offered Is small and good commercial paper
scarce. A prominent banker remarked , "wo
arc glad to get G to 7 per cent for money
that used to go readily at 8 to 10 per cent. "
Some of the banks took up considerable
amounts of cattle paper , but while that fa
considered first-class security , It Is some
thing out of the ordinary and Is not the kind
of paper that a bank would prefer. Hanker *
generally regard good commercial papei
as preferable , but the latter Is scaico , owing
to the fact thai a large number of the lead
ing mci chants of the city car. obtain money
In the eas.t at 3 to 4 per cent , where theu
Is an abundance ot cheap money to be had ,
HAD roil Tlin IBANKDRS.
While the plethora of money Is a bac
thing for the banks , one banker going so fa-
as to say that It ivas Impossible for a bail *
under present conditions to make any
money , It Is unquestionably a great advan
tage to the mercantile and manufactures
Interests to have.chcap money. When monej
was less plentiful , eastern merchants am
manufacturers abso'bcd what was to ec hai
of the * cheaper caste : n money and wcsteir
merchants and manufacturers had to con-
fiont the difficulty of carrying on busines :
with capital commanding a high rate of In
tcrost In competition with those who wen
In a position to borrow at a much less rate
The high water mark for deposits In thi
Omiha national banks for this season of tin
year was reached In 1S93 , when the aggregate
gate In all 'janhs amounted to $17,137,050
Dining the panic ami haul times years the ;
dropped oft $4,000,000 and over , but hav
been climbing upward again for some tlm
back anil at the time of the recent state
ment had reached $15,107,748. The loans am
discounts carried by the banks amount ti
SO.tfl'i.o' . In March , 1M , the amount o
loins reported by the banks was $12,459,951
but by March , 1804 , the figures dropped be
low the ten million mark and there doc
not appear to bo much prospect of gettlni
them back again until the demand fo
money Increases , or until eastern money 1
less plentiful.

The proprietors of the local brick jardfl
are figuring on getting an early start thla
spring on account of the present scarcity of
building brick and the latgo demand. At
the present time brick are quoted nt $9 per
thousand and arc almcat na scarce as hen's
teeth. Hrlck can be purchased In Kansas
City ( or $6 per thousand , but the freight
from that point to this city Is $2 a thousand ,
so that \cry few brick have been ordered
from there. The llroadvv ell-Parks llrlck
oampany In the southern part ot the city Is
figuring on purchasing some Improved ma-
chlneiy In order to do aw a ) ' with the neces
sity for diylng the bricks ten diys or more
before burning them. In ease this Is done
brick making at these yards will commence
In a couple of weeks. Ordinarily It Is Im
possible to make good building brick until
the weather warms up so that there Is no
freezing at night. Cudahy s bought several
thousand brick a few days ago for fating
bollcra , but the bulk ot the Improvements at
that plant will be postponed until the price
drops. It U the same at the other plants.
Hammonds' are making some c\ten ions at
the south end of their plant , but no start will
bo made on the contemplated ofllce building
until after a new crop of brick Is made. At
the Swift plant several new smokehouses
will bo erected and the work ot excavating
for the foundations commenced yesterday.
About 250 000 brick w 111 be u ed here , but
It Is thought that the local supply will be
replenished befoie this work will proceed
\cry far.

The city tog'necr Is now engaged lr
staking out Highland park according to th (
plans of Chailes G. Carpenter , the landscapi
gardener employed by the Iloird of Part-
Commissioners. The plans call for a row o !
trees all around the outer edge of the park
with a wide graveled walk just lijslJe. Ii :
the Interior the park Is cut up with wlndliif
walks and llower gardens. 'It has boei
deemed best to give up the Idea ot having r
mlnaturo lake at one end of the park at
tbowti by the plans , on account of the ad
dltlonal expense and the great cost of main-
ta'ii'nis ' even a small body of water. Tin
grounds will bo sloped down to the grade o
the stieets which surround the park am
about BOO trees will bo planted. At th <
present tlmo quite n number ot pine am
manlo trees are gtowing In the park am
these will not bo disturbed. It 1s the Intcn.
tlon of the park commissioners to get at this
work Immediately , In order to have it com-
nlcted before the exposition opens.

couple of dollars than they can get from suits bought
else where at double the price. We know it. Wo
warrant our boys' suits. Wo take particular pains
to buy nothing but good honest fabrics and we light
shy of the shoddy imitations and good looking fakes
which are made for bargain counters and special
sales. Our ftl.fiO suits will wear. Our § 1.75 suits
