Zehrung will move to Twelfth and O and Sanderson, Schuro man & Davis will movo into the store now occupied by Zehrung about March 25. Henry Clews, in his regular weekly review sayB: "We are now in the beginning of the third month of the year, for which I have ven tured to predict an improvement in business, a distinct relief from the effects of last year's panic, and a return of confidence on the stock exchange. To close watchers, that process has been in var ious ways observable since the opening of the year; but not until now has the change reached a point of development at which all rec ognize it. In trade at large, the improvement has now become a commonly admitted fact. In many branches the demand for goods is plainly ahead of the supply. The reduction of stocks, caused by the interruption of manufacturing and the extraordinary falling off in imports, begins to show its effects upon prices; and that proves an important stimulus to buying and to confidence. Under these con ditions and in view of the near approach to the final determination of the new tariff duties, business -has gained a much more'stable basis of confidence, and the country may be regarded as being fairly on the way towards a steady return to a normal condition." Two years ago there was a great deal of talk about the movement of business eastward in this city, and it will be remembered that property on East O street sustained a pronounced boom. In the last year, and more particularly in the last six months there has been a reactionary movement. Merchants have been moving their stores further west. A few instances may be cited. The Interior Decora tive company moved from O street near Fourteenth to South Eleventh street; the Merchants bank from Fifteenth and 0 to Thir teenth and O; the Pacific Express company from Twelfth to Eleventh; the Northwestern ticket office from O near Twelfth to Tenth; Ferguson's music store from O near Thirteenth to South Twelfth; Fipgenbaum from Fourteenth and O to Thirteenth and O; Harris Bros., from Fifteenth and O to Eleventh and N; the '-Famous'' from Twelfth and O to 1031 O. Frank Zehrung's drug store is about to move five doors east, to the southwest corner of Twelth and O, and Sanderson, Schureman it Davis will move severa 1 doors east, taking the store now occupied by Zehrung. It is pointed out that putting the most limited possible construc tion upon its language, the seigniorage bill provides for the addition, as speedily as it can be printed and issued, of 855,150,681 in silver certificates to our already inflated mass of paper money, which con sists of 3340,000,000 old greenbacks, 8153,000.000 treasury notes, $207, 000,000 national bank notes and 8338,000,000 silver certificates. The whole of this money, together with 855,000,000 in coined silver dol lars, making in all $1,099,000,000, has to be kept at par with gold by a slock of the metal in the treasury of only 8100,000,000, and if but 855,150,081 is silver certificates, the least amount which the seignior age bill proposes, is added to the mass, it will exceed $1,150,000,000. Liberally interpreted, the bill allows ultimately the issuo of $55,000, 000 more of silver certificates, which would bring tho total of what is substantially all paper money to over $1,200,000.00$. A leading financier and land owner in Omaha advances tho theory that this year will usher in a new era of emigration to Nebraska, and complains of the fact that so little is dono to encourage prospec tive settlers. Those in a position to know, state that a general shift ing process is going on. For the last few years there has been a tendency to remove from the country to the city, many farmers renting or selling their land in order to engago in trade or seek em ployment in the towns. This, of course, increased competition in trade and much trouble was experienced in securing labor to harvest the crops. A. G. Billmeyer, proprietor of the Palace stables, has rented the adjoining building on M street and will open a retail warehouse for the Columbus Buggy Co. The dry goods business in this city has undergone a material change in the last year. There are several less stores now than twelve months ago. Louie Meyer & Co., failed; E. C. Robertson sold out to Krug; J. II. Mauritius fc Co., failed; Bloch it Kohn were burned out, and this week gave a bill of sale as noted elsewhere; J. A. Dorsey sold out to Krug, and the Bazar is now closing out its business. Frank E. Lahr will build a 810,000 residence at the corner of Seventeenth and L streets. Bloch it Kohn have given a bill of Bale to Julius Speier, the con sideration being $10,000. Speier will dispose of the goods.
