Jobbers Report the New ¥oar's Bosi- nees as Starting Out Fairly Well antry Collections Faie— Produce Demoralizad, In Local Commercial Circles, The clearings for the week foot up &4 810, 007,57, an increase of 20 6.10 per cent. Money continues in vory activ city ana country, but the supply seems to keep up and there is no undue stringency, in bankers quote the market as easicr this nevertheless thay seem to ra tighter market and applications are none too readily met while amounts asked for are frequently vscaled down, Rates are firm at Sper cent for wilt edged paper with 10 per cent the rule in many instances. Tho banks are, however, tuking care of their regular customers at 1o bigher rutes than ordinary . Jobbers report the year's trade as starting out fairl ll, but say that the warm weather 18 sull dotrimental to business, as dealers hesitate about stocking up with spring goods when their shelves are crowded with their winter purchases, which they must y over to unother season. Still, orders to salesmen are liberal under the circumistances, and as our jobbers have extended their connection to many points in the far west not heretofore actively worked, the results of the month are suid to be satis- factory, and a good spring trade will doubt~ ult from the efforts put forth, #oods are in fuir demand and pricos firm. An advance is voted in Lodi shirtings and A. X. Al and B, B, Denim's woolen goods are depressed under the influence of the mild weather, In groceries sugars are steady At quota- tions.

Strictly fresh have sold down to 12ige and there is no price quotable on cold storage stock. Butter and poultry are in ample supply but with an ex~ cellent demand for choice and offerings huve been closed out at fair prices, Collections 1 the country better than was expected, and there have been but few failures and these for small amounts; quite & number of short time ex- teusions have been ated, however, and it seems to be the policy of our jobbers, backed by the banks, to assist in this way all who by reason of sicw business are un- able to meet maturing obligations promptly rather thun 1o close them out. Chicago Tribune commis Omaha on the talling off in hog receipts at this point as compared with the increase at Sioux City during the past few d. and at- tributes the loss to freight disc) ations on the part of the Union Pacif ailroad company in favor of the latter point. It might be suggested In this connection that there are two other good reasons for the - crease of receipts at Sioux Ci One is that South Dakota is bare of grain and her farmers must cither sell their stock or see it starve, aud they are shippimg every shoat they have, and the second is that they just now prefer Sioux City because their coun- try 18 overrun with buyers from that town who, it is estimated are working in the in- terest of the owners of the stock yurds there and are paying as high for hogs on the cars at stations in South Dakota us can be real- jzed from packers in Sioux City. 'Lhis may scemn strange, but it is hinted as a reason for this anomaly that a certain clique amoug the heavy holders of stock in the Stock Yards company there are desirous of unloading at a profitable vrice, and that the stock 18 in brokers’ hands in Boston for sale, but that the murket has been duli and to create an activity these buyers haye been sent out with orders to fill the peus at Sioux City with pigs s It known that Sioux ! fled with that point as a packing centre, and one of the largest packers there has expressed a desire to sell s house and move either to Tancoln or Omuha, while Omaha packers are ontinually aading to their facilities for killing und storing meats, which they cer- tamly would not do if they feared a perma nent decline in the receipis here. ‘There continues to be much lethargy among our merchants and mahufacturers in the matter of securing the state fair for the next five years, which they can readily o by actively assisting the press, real estate ex- chpnge and board of trade ju their endeavors to this end. Our merchants can well affotd to deyote both time and money to this object aund by a united effort secure the location of the fair here whore it properiy belongs, Itslocation in Omaha will bring hundreds of merchants to our city, whom we never see and know now ounly though onr traveling salesmen, and personul friendships will thus be formed and comented to mutual profit. A little timely action will secure the fair to Omaha for five years, ana we trust our jobbers will exert themselves earnestly and promptly. 1i they want it and set out to get it, they can have it OMAHA LIVE STOCK. re pretty good, Oattle, Saturday, Jan, 11, Althoughi thore wore auite a good many cattle hero and it was the last day of the week, desirable beeves sold a littie stronger, ‘The trado was fuirly active, the demand be- ing good, both local and " shipping, and the offerings were pretty well cleared up before the close, The more ordinury kinds of beeve were only steady, There were several loads good enough to bring over §4. but a good share of tho sales wero under $3.75, Al- though there were 50 mauy cows hers the market was a little better even on this class of cattle, Thero were no stockers or feeders 1o amount to anything ip the yards, although thore was some hittle wnquiry for that of cattle, A few odds und ends sold ay (@200, The murket was strong at yesterday’s close, or & shade better than yesterday' market, The buyers wanted hogs and they picked them up readily.

They are the most powerful and intelligent of the Upper Congo natives, and since Captain Coquilhat established a station in their country, four yeurs ago, they have been great friends to the whites, An exciting event occurred recently in oné of their wany villages, and Essalaka, the chief, went to Cuptain Coquilhat and told him the story: “You know the hig island near my town?"’ he said, **Well, yesterday, soon after the sun came up, one of my women aud her little boy started for the island in‘u canoe. The boy is twelve years old, **He says that while his mother was paddling’ she leaued over to look at something in the water. The next moment a crocodile seized her and dragged her from the canoe. + Then the crocodile and his mother sank from sight. “The paddle was ng in the canoe, and the boy picked it up to paddle back to the vi{\ugo. The erocoaile was swimming toward the island; be could tell this by the moving water, “'With a sudden resolve to try to save Enst ipts, 7003 all ‘army his mother, the boy paddled crocodile, The creature island and went out on woinan's hody on the g went back into after the reached the nd.
