WOULD KEEPCASH AT HOME German Protestant Religion World Excited by Recent Order of the Government. BERLIN, Jan. 14. (Special Cablegram to The Bee.) Ecclesiastical circles In Ger many have been thrown Into a state of great excitement by the publication of a rescript from the minister of religion and edu cation forbidding the various Protestant synods throughout Prussia to collect funds for the support of their co-rcllglonlsta In oth,r countries. The inwardness of ths rescript. He In the fact that ever since the beginning of the Austrian and Bohemian "Los Von Rom" movement, tho Lutheran church In Germany ha been pouring considerable supplies Into those, rountrlei for the support of those com munities whirti had embraced the tenets of the reformed faith. It Is believed that tho Roman ecclesiasti cal authorities In the Dual Monarchy have entered a warm projost against the Lu theran iturch'ln Germany, supporting In this way a heretical body, und that the Prussian minister, to placate them, hn Issued this singular rescript, which cur tail, in an extraordinary a fashion the liberty of the Protestant communities. Icr Rel U'lisbote, the organ of the German Lutheran church, threatms an ugltutlon against the iiiiniier. thanking heaven that he was not a minister in ancient Rom when the Apostle Paul went through Greece and Asia Minor collecting for the weak church at Jerusalem. CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Jobber? Very Bny Filling Their AdTnc 0rer for Spring. HEAVY GOODS SOLD WELL LAST WEEK Markets Generally Firm, with harp Advance In sasjar and Indica tions Favorable for Higher Prices on toffee. Omaha jobbers ate now busy shipping out their spring goods. Advance orders this season have been unusually ,arge nnd as a result they are working full forces to get their orders tilled at as early a date as possible. The larger retailers are be ginning to get anxious for their sprlmr stocks, and during the next few weeks the big bulk of the advance orders will bo filled. Jobbers are carrying a larger and better assortment of spring line tills year than ever before, and they expect In a short time to see a good many visiting buyers on the market, when house trade will assume much more activity. 80 faV as ' Immediate business Is con cerned there Is not much to be aald from a wholesale standpoint. Merchants as a rule are buying very little for immediate use, as Is always the case at this time of year. The cold weather of this week, though, has been of great help to retailers In (leaning out their stock of, heavy good. The extreme cold has made It absolutely necessary for those who have to be out of doors to have heavy clothing of nil kinds, and consequently the demand for that class of goods has been quite satis factory, and present Indications are that merchants will curry over no more than the usual amount of stock. Traveling jnen have bt-en sending In liberal orders for spring and next fall stuff, and In nearly every c-Hse they feel grea'tly encouraged with the prospects for a pros perous year. The markets are also In a good healthy condition and very few weak spots are to be found In any line. It may be said that the general tendency of prices Is upward, rather thun downward, so that both whole salers and retailers feel safe in carrying liberal stocks. Sugar Excited and Higher. Wholesale grocers report the demand for their lines as being tully up to expecta tions. The markets are a. so quite saiiaiac tory and since last report several important changes have gone into effect. One of the most noticeable advances Is that which has taken place on sugar. The market Is quoted as excited and higher. Raws both In New York and London advanced steadily nil last week. The latter market Is now quoted at 1 lis 61, as com pared with 9s6d less than ninety days ago. Refined sugars nre quoted In this market 20c per 100 pounds higher than they were a week ago, and those in a position to know say that it looks as thougn the top had not yet been reached. The coffee market Is in Just about the same position it was a week ago. The available supply 6f coffee, however. Is in very strong bands and holders do not seem to be at all inclined to make sales at less than full list prices, and the more desirable grades are held at a premium. The largest operators In New York appear to have con siderable confidence In the future of the market and predict considerably higher prices. H Is rather early to make predic tions regarding the growing crop in Brazil, but at the same time the season Is far enough along for those In close touch with prevailing conditions to predict that even under the most favorable climatic condi tions between now and the maturing of the berry the crop will not exceed the yield of 1904 and 1905. which Is estimated at 9,600,0no bags, with the possibility of the new crop being from I,floo.i.io tol.FOO.o10 bags less than the 1904 and 1905 crop. Statistics show that from July to December of lust year 7,750 000 bags of Brazil coffee was marketed, which leaves 1,750,000 bags to be marketed from January 1 to the end of June. Taking the world's supply It Is estimated that in addi tion to the Brazil crop for 1!M and 1905 there are 4.5O0.O0O bugs, which makes a total of 14.000.000 bags. The estimated consumption for the yeur Is 16.000,000 bags, which will leave a vlsslble supply July 1, 1906, of 10,500.000 bags, as compared with a vis ible supply July 1, 1904. of 12.361,000 bans. From these figures It Is seen that statistic ally coffee la In a very strong position. The canned goods situation is more In teresting than was the case a week ago. Gallon apples have been marked up by New York packers 16(??25c per dozen, with a very strong feeling at the advance. Oysters have gone to the lowest point reached for some time, but even at the prices named trade is not as heavy as might be expected. Domestic sardines are also quoted at a low figure and while trade is better than usual at this season there Is no Immediate pros pect of any improvement In prices. Toma toes are slightly firmer than they were a week ago. In the line of dried fruits peaches are at tracting considerable attention, as the mar ket is in a peculiar situation. The supply on the Pacific const Is considered smaller than for many years at this season. One month of good traVle. such as may be ex pected In- April or May, would use up the entire California stock. Evaporated ap ples nre also In a very strong position, most holders having advanced their prices Vuc per pound. Apricots are In light sup- 1ly and coast markets are practically ex laustcd. Cotton Good Firm. Tho market on cotton goods Is reported firm. Many Jobbers are now on the murket for goods for spring as well as for later de livery, and us they have been currying very light stocks their orders hnve been excep tionally large. A good outlook for future business hus also had a tendency to make them buy freely, and present Indications ar that manufacturers will find a ready mnrket for their entire season's output. That being the cltuution, there seems to bo small reason for expecting any material re duction in prices. Reports received from the country last week were very encouraging. Retailers wold a good deal of their rtock of heavy goods owing to the extremely cold weather. The way it looks now merchants will carry over very little stock, so they will bo in a posi tion to buy freely both for spring and ulao for next fall. Traveling men are meeting with good success In landing orders and so far this year have done better thnn they did a year rbo. Unless something happens to ahungt) the situation they .expect to find this the most prosperous year yet experience'd. Remembering their experience of a yeHr ago when the prlco of rubbers was ad vanced without notice, merchant are buy ing freely for their next fall' requirements. As previously stated, the reductions tniido January 1 are not guaranteed for any length of time, and that very reason makes Jobber think that there Is liable to be an advance at uny time. The larger and bet ter merchant are. as a rule, placing their orders as (ant as the traveling men call on them. The brisk demand for heavy foot wear last week ulso encouraged retailers, as In all probability they will not carry over more stock than usual. A good many mer chants have broken their stocks to such 1111 extent thitt they are sizing up quite freely, which Kave local Jobbers a nice business last week, with pruspects favorable for u still greater demand this wfek. The situa tion iu rubber good may now be said to be much more satisfactory than it hus been for some little time pust. There Is nothing particularly new 111 leather goods. Traveling men are captur ing a good many orders for aptlng lines and merchants are cleaning out their winter goods In fnlrly good shape. Everything now points to a very brisk spring trade. Hardware Active and Firm. Hardware Jobbers report the demand for their lines of goods as being unusually large for the time of year. Retailers have en joyed an excellent business al the fall and winter and consequently they keep sending In orders for a:ich lines us they sell out. Traveling men are also doing exceptionally well on the road und so-far this splng have sold more goods for spriug delivery than ever before. The general impression seems to be, both among wholesalers and retail ers, that spring trade will be a record breaker. There have been no new developments on the market. Prices on practically all lines are good and firm, but no quotable changed on leading Hues went into effect last week. The demand for fruits and ve-getabks was rather limited last week owing to the ex tremely cold weather which made tt al most impossible to ship perishable goods. That being the tane, there were very few market changes and 110 special features to the tiai'e. The egg market and also the butter mar ket firmed up last week, owing, no doubt. In a measure to the cold weather, which t ut down receipts. Poultrv was also firm, but the demnnd for must lines was not par ticularly brisk. Mortality Statistics.

The Woman's Christian Temperance union bus set to work In earnest to secure the teaching of scientific temicrance in tha schools of Nebraska and In Omaha. At present the Nebraska law leaves uch pro vis. on with the local authorities, and u a result this study has been crowded out and has amounted to little. The local union Is agitating for n new law, that shall be patterned after the Kansas law, which provides that no certificate shall be granted to any person to teach In th public schools of the state who has not passed u satisfactory examination In the elements of pliys.ology and hygiene, witn special reference to the effects of alcoholio stimulants and narcotics upon the human system, and that provision shall be mad by the proier school authorities for such instruction In the school of the state. The women are asking that tho New Cen tury scries of physiology be put Into the Omaha schools, because It meets hearer than any other, they think, what Is re quired. The series Includes a primer of oral li'Hsona for the first and second grades, a text book In the hands of the children of the third- and fourth grades, tho ele mentary book In the hundt of the children of the fifth and sixth grades and the Inter mediate text book for the pupils of tha seventh and eighth grades. The high school book they consider Inadequate, but Very good as a supplementary work. Chairman David Cole of the text book committee of the Board of Education hasv promised t bring the nintti to the attention of that committee at Its meeting Monday evening. In addition to this, the women intend to begin a systematic effort to hava suitable h-fsons In scientific temperance put Into the school readers and then to support such readers as have these lessons In them. Mrs. Mary Russell of IJlicoln. state super intendent of scientific temperance Instruc tion, will be asked to authorize the work In Nebraska, and Mrs. Mnry Hunt of tha national union will be urged to begin it ugltutlon in all the states. Mrs. Charles K. Fairbanks has stirred up a sm.. .-sized temnest In Wushlnirton'o so. clal ten pot by engaging a newspaper woman as ner social secretary. Miss Margaret Wade, society editor On ntm of the U'nnh. lngton papers, is the woman, and the official set resent the presence within the official palo of this "Sister Ann" to tho public, and me more so as iviiss Wado has etitubllHhed a reputation for looking first to tho inter ests of her paper even to the extent of clashing with Secretary Loeb himself. Soon after his advent in the White House Mr. Loeb laid down certain rules whereby re porters were confined to one certain part of the executive mansion. Miss Wade resented this restriction and refused to comply, and as a result she was barred from the Whlta House In her professional capacity. It Is said that the objection to Mss Wade has been prompted by severul officials of high standing who have before now been the vic tims of Miss Wade's keen observations, but as It would scarcely become them to argue with the wife of the vice oresldeni ror- lng her private and Boclal affairs they can oiuy leave it to their wives and daughters to express disapproval after their own methods. But Mrs. Fairbanks is not a nov ice in Washington society, and her friend regard her tact quite sufficient to overcome this little difficulty. Tho legislative committee of the Lincoln Woman's 'club are promised a busy time during the present session of the legisla ture. Whfle the clubs ull over the state are doing thir utmost to secure the passage of the Juvenile court bill this legislative com mittee Is doing, practically all the work for the women on the ground. Hon. D. U Johnson went to Lincoln Wednesday even ing with tho completed bill for equal In hirltance or the "Women's property rights bill," us it hus been rather erroneously called, exH?cting that it would be Intro duced during the- week. The bill hu been approved by most of the women's organiza tions of the state, who are looking to the IJncoln women for matoilul heip In Influ encing its passage. "Through the efforts of Miss Mury Water house the ladies' Civic league has been or ganized ut Beaufort, 8. C, with slxlocit charter members," says tho Charleston (S. C Keystone. And then it goes on to suy that "the Intendant has offered to furnish labor for the Improvement of any tuwu proerty and the station agent of the Charleston & Western Carolina railroad ha been authorized to furnish Section bands for the ladies in laying out the plot at the sta tion. The court house is also In h lnr,u,l uflef." If this Is u sample of the. co-opera uon ciisionviry m Houth Carolina the lot of Ike Ladles' Civic leuguo is surelv u hnnnv one and the wonder Is that It was neces sary for them to organize at all.
