2 ¥ THE NIDSUMMER SITUATION, A Large Inoreass of Omaha’s Business Houses During the Last 8ix Months. A VERY SATISFACTORY E XHIBIT An Excellent Trade for the Summer Season — A Splendid Showing— Abundant Crops Assured— Bright Prospects. If thereis anybody who thinks that Omaha isn't a goed p)ace to live in, in- vest in and make money in, let him read and experience a change of mind. According to the deductions of the Bradstreot Commercial agency, the solidity and enduring quality of Omaha's boom surpasses that of any other uncom- mouly prosperous and flourishing city 1 the country, and the figures and facts to sustain the allegation are forthcoming. There is nothing flimsy or superficial about Omaha’s rapid growth in importance as a great commercial centre, but & gen- uineness and substantiability that evinces itself even upon the surfuce. Sales and midsummer business are holding up much better than usual in all branches of trade. Collections, to be sure, as is always the case in July, are very slow. 1t is between seasons, when farme- ers are waiting for their smail grains to mature, and no particular change is looked for, in any year, until about Au- gust 15, when small grains begin to move, and an |mrruvumcnt in monetary channels is noted about that time. SMALL GRAIN This season is very promising, the crop in Nebraska being i\llly up to the aver- age for a corn state, while the corn crop never looked as well as it does this year, and never promised such a tremendous jeld. In fact, in quantity and quality, rom the present outlook, the corn crop promises to be unprecedented. Aunother rather remarkable feature about it is that this is the first year that there has not been considerable replanting, not one single case having been reposed. The crop is not ouly overfull, well roted, but stands strong, and in truth, wheat, rye and barley and all small grains stood wonderfully well this year before almost perennial stiff winds, and all grains are extraordinarily well filled, fair, pure and remarkable for the absence of defect or blemish of any kind. But to leave the crops and get back to BUSINESS, There have been no failures of any con- sequence 1n either this state or wustern Towa, which is covered by the Omaha of- fice of Bradstreet's agency, for the past six months, There are a good many small changes in trade at allseasons ot the year, but ns they are to be expected they create no impression or surprise. To rive facts there were just ninety-three nilures in this ficld from January 1 to June 80, 1887, and of this number ®ixty-eight were not recommended for oredit, leaving a balance of only thirty- tive failures which took place at the same time, who were rated from moderate to fuir credit. The largest failure during i uncil Blufls, and that fi:\rly who gned, has since paid one undred cents on the dollar. The party was rated $20,000 at the time of his fail- ure with fair credit, so it will be seen that the balance of thirty-four failures lay from that down to nothing, showing that there were no failures i this terri- tory within the s1x months of any consid- erable magnitude. THE JOBBING TRADE of Omaha since January 1 has kept pace with its average increase tor the past eighteen months, which is saying a good deual when it is taken into consideration that the jobbing trade of Omaha has doubled itselt in the last four years, and will do so again in the mnext four, and perhaps in a somewhat less time, basing_caleulations upon the present ratio. 'l eral trade of the city last year iner 27 per cent ovel vious year, including all br: trade, both wholesale and ret: THE INCREASE for the vear ending June 1, 1886, in Omaha's general trade _can be arrived at by.a study of the following figures: Num- ber of jobbing houses doing business in Omaba June 1, 1836, 196; number com menced business during the year ending Juue 1, 18587, 31; total number of whole- sale houses doing business here June 1, 1857, 227, This list neludes all concerns manufacturing and jobbing their own {;uods, and also such houses as do a re- ail and jobbing business combined, and following will Le found a list of the principal lines represented, with the number of jobbing houses in each line.

THE OUTLOOK for the autumn and early winter season is based upon the enormous trade of the gpring, the activity of midsummer, and the wondertul promise of the crops. Al- oo BT anaoamen D 1= . ready trade has begun to feel a thrill of increased momentum; the farmer is wide-nwake to tho senson of fruition, the merchant is bracing himsel and brushing up and increasing his stock, while the real estate agent and the gen- eral speculator manifest inereased accel- eration in all their movewments, These are infallible signs of a season of thrift, trade and profit, in all the ramifications of commercial hfe. The remarkable growth that bus been noticeable in SOUTH OMAHA has received additional impetus through the arteries of the recent big Armour- Lipton deal, and the coming ot Under- wood & Co., of Chicago. It is confident- ly expected that this particular terri- tory will outstrip all past eras of increase and advance in a business way. It will be only a short time before thousands of men are employed there in the packing interests alone.” But the Brobdignagian strides of South Omaha will be more striking when the Omaha people recall that it is just now two years ago since the first hog was killed there,and to-day *here are 113 business houses, including two banks, located in this little eity, all hav- ing been attracted thither by the stock- yards and packing interests alone. Now f South Oniaha is growing so rapidly vith what it commenced on, what may not be expected within the next two years, with so large a supply at its command, i THE WHGLESALE GROCERY TRADE has sustained its usual increase this year over last, and the territory tributary THE OMAHA DAILY. BEE: WEDNESDAY. to this point is being gradually but ma- terially extended and will soon indeed be a broad domain, THE BOOT AND SHOE TRADE is increasing rapidly, and Omaha now boasts of an exclusive jubbinfi clothing house which it could never do before; also a jobbing rubber goods house, both of which are doing a most flattering business. SALES IN REAL ESTATE have been quiet since the middle of June, as 18 1nevitably the case, however, when men inclined to invest are absent from the city and commercial circles. Re- markable as it is, it is to be noted that prices are firm and no property can purchused for less than May values. ANOTHER PLEASING FACT 18 that most of the serious labor troubles have been amicabiy adjusted, and both public and private improvements are now advancing rapidly, and there can be no doubt that inside property will ad- vance greatly early in the fall, as much of it_is now below corresponding prop- erty in other western cities. What out- side property now needs more than any other one thing, is a means of access, and as soon as that is provided, and we have good grounds to look for it soon, the is much will be di ble at very much better face. Everybody is aware of the army of la- borers engaged in imuruvin;{, opening and extending streets, in aying the motor line and horse railway tracks, and facilitivs for rapid transit to all points_ of the city, even to its uttermost limits, will shortly be unsurpassed by any city in the great west. This will greatly en- hance the ue and desirability of su- burban lands, and lend an enchantment and attractiveness to suburban residence that cannot be resisted by prosperous business men who wish to escave, after their day’s labors are over, the dust and grime, and noise and turmoil of the city. Consequently a demand for suburban or outside property m:?' be looked for, and within a few years the beauty of our im- mediated environments will be aug- nmented to an extent that will astonis even the most sanguine and hopeful of our citizens. As further evidence that the outlook for Omaha has not been overdrawn or too highly colored, it is but necessary to glance at the clearances in the city clear- g house for the past four months,which show an increase of over 100 per cent over the corresponding months of the ear immediately previous: ‘or March, 18¥ April, 1887 | May, 1857 Juuie, 1857, The year previous, 188 March. The Home Fire. It may be of interest to the people of this city and state to know that among the most successfully conducted and prosperous institutions in Nebraska is the Home - Fire Insurance company of Omaha, The company’s premium receipts amounted to §175,000.00, and its business is fast imcreasing. Its asscts are now about $200,000.00. One hundred and seventy losses have been paid by the “‘Home Fire,” to the people of Nebraska, and the company has a receipt in full for satisfactory set- tlement and a complimentary lette prompt_and honorable de i case, Kvery loss clnim has been paid, and the compal s neyer been sued. There is no reason why a worthy home insurance company should not reccive the patronage and Support of the people of this state, and judging from the high standing of the oflicers and directors of the ‘‘Home Fire,” and the great care it exercises in the selection and manage- ment of ity business, and the fair and honorable way it has paid 1ts losses, and dealt with the public, this company is worthy of the large patronage it is receiv- ng. e AFTER MANY Y SARS, A Tale Illustrating the Practical Ad- vantages of Savings Banks, On Thursday of last week Mr. George Holmes, jr., a young real estate agent of this city, residing at 1363 South Scven- teenth street, received a check from the *Bank for Savings,” New York city, in the sum of $420.12, which carries with it a very interesting history. In the spring of 1847 George Holmes, the father of the young man, arrived in New York City fresh from the Emerald Isle, and securing a situation in the great metropolis, deposited, of s hard earn- i in October of the same year, $45 in the “Bank of Savings.” The young Irishman, being of an economice turn, permitted the money to lie in the bank until his departure for the west, when, in searching for his deposit book, it was not to be found, Unacquainted with the system of banking, he gave up his little hourd without a further thought. After roaming about the west for a time Mr. Holmes settled in Nebraska in 1855, where he has resided since, with his family, all of whom are natives of this country. A short time ago while recount- g to his children some of the incidents of hus early life, Mr. Holmes for the first time mentioned his maiden bank account. His son George Holmes, jr., immedi- ately volunteered to attempt the collec- tion of the deposit and by the aid of a few athdavits and identification he sur- prised the old gentleman on Friday, by presenting him a check for $420.12, the representative of the growth of $45 de- posited forty years ago in an Ameriean bank. Is She Insane? The case of Mrs. Wirth, residing at Fifth and Dorcas, on thie complaint of in- sanity came up yesterdayafternoon before the commussioners on msanity. There is some doubt as to the correctness of the complaint, 1t having been suggested that the acts of hers which have attracted public attention were the natural result of the annoyance to which she as been subjected by children in the neighbor- hood, who'it is alloged, take pleasure in jumping her fence and chasing her chick- ens. Mrs. Wirth is not hiving with her husband, ‘Where 18 My Brother? I want to know where my brother is. His name 18 Joseph Moron, an Arsbian, from Syria, Turkey. Isaw him last in Chieago abont June 10.

Petti- none, the general agent of the associa- tion, pays the widow of Mr. Jones four thousand life insurance, and returns the guarantee deposit of $63 made by him as u pledge that he woula maintain his mem- bership in the association. The cosi of one thousand dollars insur- ance in this association for the year end- ing December, 1886, on the average age 40, years, was only $3.20 per thousand for mortality and expense items, and this in the eighth year of its existence.
