Increase.
For an Infant only 7V4 year of at, th
corporation known as the Omaha drain
ischanga la a wonder a prodigy, in fact.
Organised In 180S and beginning active busi
ness immediately, the organisation was fol
lowed In ltOt by the establishment of a
grain market.
Since l"'at time the exchange has grown
by leaps and bounds. Purlng the riist year,
or rather, for the eleven months endln
December SI, 1904, the total grain Receipts
amounted to over 16,000,000 bushels.
At that time and for many years prev
ious the railroads serving Omaha had their
rates on grain so arranged that the sur
plus grain production of Nebraska could
not be handled In this city. This was due
to the fact that the rates from Interior
Nebraska points to the great grain cen
ters then existing war materially less
than the sum of the rates Into Omaha
trom the country and from Omaha to the
gialn centers.
This was finally to a great extent over
come, when A. B. BMckney, then president
of the Chicago Great Western Hallway
company, succeeded In financing an exten
sion of the Mason City & Fort DoUho
branch of his toad and building tt Into
Omaha. When this was completed he suc
ceeded In working out a plan whereby the
through rate was so arranged as. to make
It equal to the sum of the rate Into Omana
and tha rate from Omaha to the grain
; center.
Coincldently, he clearly proved to Omaha
business men that they might easily build
up aa great a grain market as those ex
isting at either Kansas City or Minneapolis
If they would take advantage of the situ
ation created by his action In regard .o
tha railroad facilities. He succeeded In
Interesting all the ' business Interests of
Omaha with the result that today the
Omaha Grain exchange stands fourth
among tha grain markets of the country.
Facilities Increase.
Omaha's market facilities are increasing
with giant strides. Tha city enjoys the dls
Unctidn of being the second corn market In
tha" world. Considering primary receipts
only tha city Is one Of the greatest primary
grain markets In' the 'world. -With mora
equitable freight rates, which are bound
to ba brought about,' the rapid development
of the agricultural resources of tha large
territory adjacent to this market will be In
to the organization of the ex
Change, the elevator capacity was 2,140.000
bushels. No official account was then
taken of the Omaha receipts and shipments.
However, during 1904, the first year of the
existence of the exchange, less than 18,000,
000 bushels of grain were received here,
made up approximately of 4,000,000 bushels
000 bushels of oats. At this time the ele
vator capacity of the market was Increased
to 4.0&0.000 bushels and In 1906 the receipts
totaled 34,060,000 bushels, of which there
were , 611,200 bushels of wheat, lt.m.SOO
bushels of corn and 7,779,000 bushels of oats.
By December SI, 1906, the market elevator
capacity had beea Increased to 1,040,000
bushels and the receipts totaled 44,60,100
buBhels, this amount placing Omaha In
sixth place among the great grain markets.
The receipts of corn were 20.72S.400 bushels,
giving Omaha third place as a corn market.

All Grain Is nought.
Remits have been obtained through the
enterprise and business acumen, of the men
who mak up the Omaha Grain exchange.
The market has been from the start active
and open. There has been a buying Interest
from the very start that has taken fcvrry
bushel of grain offered, no matter how
large the quantity, and has paid for It
such prices as attracted further business.
The weighing and' inspection of grain at
Omaha has been gradually improved until
today Omaha Grain exchange certificates
are accepted unquestioned In any market
In the United states.
This growth and development has been
based upon Nebraska and Iowa grain only.
A large field In these two states still re
mains unopened and It remains for Omaha
dealers to reap ths benefit of this, new
business If only transportation rates can
ba adjusted upon a proper basis. Kven
under present conditions the Omaha market
last year outstripped every other market
In the country except Chicago in receipts
of corn, was fourth In receipts of oats and
fifth In reoelpu of wheat, and all this
accomplished In less than seven years.
It was not supposed by the people who
organised the Omaha exchange that the
receipts of w heat at Omvha would Inert ass
as rapidly as those of other kinds of grain,
but In 1908 Omaha received U.OOO.OOO bushels
of that cereal, and the In errs se year after
year of these receipts t ece sssilly carhc to
the attention of the flour millers, and, as
a result, two splendid mills are now In
operation In Ornaha, the Updike mill and
the Maney mill. The success of these two
enterprises has been marked from the start
and there Is no question thst the flour mill
ing capacity of Omaha will grow a) rsplitly,
telatlvely, as its elevator capacity has
grown and ns Its receipts of wheat have
grown. And the presence of manufactur
ing Industries to convert the grain Into
flr.lshed product means that the grain
market may now be regarded as settled
upon a solid foundation and that the
dreams of the founders of the Omaha
Grain exchange have been fully realised.
CENTENARY OF SAVINGS BANKS
Orlla aad Growth ol Thrifty Idea
Conceived by Scotch
inns. In the little town or Ruthwell In southern
Scotland, there has recently been celebrated
the centenary of the first savings bank.
It Is true that, previous to M0, there were
In England and other countries a few asso
ciations for saving; but the savings bank,
in the sense which we attach to the term,
had Its real beginning with Henry Dun
can, Presbyterian minister and philanthro
pist, who, In a period of exceptional dis
tress, kept down the poor rates of his par
ish -by persuading people to help them
selves.
In Dr. Duncan's time, a stocking, a chink
In the wall or a loose board in the floor
offered the only ways open to poor people
for keeping surplus money. The banks then
existing did not accept sums under 10,
and to attain to the height of affluence
represented by that amount waa by no
meana easy. If one was known to save,
he might be spied upon and robbed, or he
might be deprived of his money under the
polite disguise of borrowing, or, in an
Imagined emergency, he might fall back
upon the reserve fund and use It needlessly
and somewhat recklessly. 1 Dr. Duncan be
lieved that these dangers could be obvi
ated by a savings bank. Once their money
was safe In Its keeping, he thought, people
would not break In upon the little hoard
except for some urgent reason.
This was plausible enough; yet there were
difficulties. The pool' were suspicious;
politicians, Cobbett. the London Times, the
banking Interest opposed. But the deposits
in the pioneer bank at Ruthwell, which In
the" first year, 1810, amounted to only 151,
rose r the .fourth year to I9& and, mean
time, the generous idea was being taken up
elsewhere. One of our own great savings
banks dates from 1816, as does one In Phil
adelphia, and tt Is ln the United fitates,
especially . In the east, that . savings .banks
have sustained their greatest development
By the latest available report of the comp
troller of th.e currency there were In this
country more than 1.400 such banks, having
nearly 9,000,000 depositors, and with aggre
gate deposits approaohtng 14, 000,000,000.
When one looks back upon the man who
set this weighty force In motion, the View
Is altogether pleasing. Henry Duncan, min
ister, wss the son and the grandson of
ministers. 'Weighing the number and ex
tent of his activities, It seems a wonder
