Bankors Report No Momentous Change in the Financial Situation, OBBERS HOLDING UP FAIRLY, Comparatively Few Failurea—Colloc- tions Not Up to Expectations— Very Little Variation in ths Generat Market. Weekly Resume of Omaha Markets, The clearings for the week footed $4, 630, B25.02, an increase of 51 2-5 per cent over the same week last yoar. Halances footed $1,202,500.19, Bankers report no chango of moment in the financial situation. Thore is a brisk ~wiarket for money and prime mercantile pa- per is in demand. Rates are steady and firm 8t 8 to 10 per cent. Very much paper is off- ered now-a-days through sheer impudence on the part of speculators who generate cor POrations on a paper basis and when their chromos are ready for delivery are so much ploased with the appearance thercof that they imagine othera likewiso will be, and summoning their natural gall to their aia they present the stuft as collateral with their promissory notes for discount and are gently refused, to their apparcut surprise that th should be und to the wonderment of bankers that they should effect unything else. These gentiemen are learning, however, that this is & poor method in which to float wild cat paper and ure moving west gradually, The jobbing trade of the city is holding up fairly, but it is not such as could ba wished. Still, in all lines there is reported a good trado and business, while not heavy, is satis- factory for the season, the bright,” dry and pleasant weather being the chief drawback and cause of complaint from retailers, who find they cannot make winter goods go when spring weather prevails, ‘There have been fower failures this year to date than last, and those that have come were not unexpected, and in several of the most important cases reported since January 1 adjustments have been made by which creditors hope to realize 65 to 70 por cont whero, as first presentod, not much of any= thing tangible appeared in sight. Prices show uo material chane groceries, coffees, sugar and rico, the steady. Rope is irm at the recent advance. Canned goods are in fair demand and steady quotations. Drugs are firm with-an active demand for quinine, which is higher, and so are. camphar, morphine and the different preparations of mercury. Opium likewise is firm with an upward tendenc; Hops aro higher, and the market shows signs of a further advance. Soda ash and caustic soda show intreasing firmness. The metal mar- ket is dull. Copper is steady, with lead and iron wealker. Collections in the country are not fully as good as last week, but a protty fair volume of money comes daily 1n settlément of mer- chandise accounts, and, as a rule, country bunkers ‘report a comfortuble meney market prevailing throughout the central and eastern parts of the etate, while in the extreme western portion there scems to be a demand grester than the supply. The local produce market is quiet. Butter and oggs are very cheap und the losses on these staples have been heavy. Vegetables are steady at gquotations. Onions and po- tatoes are plentiful and prices low, but for choice stock there 1s o steady demand. ‘I'he failure of Edholm & “Akin, jewelers, continues to excite comment as the volume of their liabilities is disclosed and much sur- Prisuis expressed that their condition being 80 well known to the trade for two vears past they should have been enabled to con- tract 80 heayy a debt. It is understood that claims against them to the amount of §60,000 to §70,000 are now in the hands of attorney: here for collection, if possible. Credit seems to be the cheapest article in the market. ‘The gold coin and bullion n the United States treasury amounts to §315,290,750; silver dollars ana bullion, §297,500,474; tenders, $19,132,844; gold certificates 'in cir- culation $130,050; siiver cortificates in circu- Iation, 281,643,727 211,220,000, Crop Expert Prime says: ‘A good many farmers are borrowing money to carry their corn until they can move it. The weathor will be the main, factor in the movement. 'Lhe deliveries will be small on account of corn being soft and bocause of the bad roads. Dealers have universally attempted 0 hold corn back, but should the next two or three weeks prove cold there will be a large movement, limted only by the supply of cars,” T'be shipments of rye from Russia in the last fiye months of 1880 were only 32,000,000 Mushels, against 50,000,000 bushels in the correaponding part of 1583, Beerbom reports 14,530,000 bushels as the ageregate stocks of wheat and flour in the United Kingdom at the beginning of the year, agamnst 10,488,000 bushels one year previous. British foreign trade in 1880 was the larg- est_known,. The tetal import and export trade was valued at £675,677,000, nearly £0;000,000 more than the largest previous total on record, that of 1883, Imports ag- grogated £42 ,000 in value, a totat never surpassed. 0 exports aggregated £248, - 091,959 and were oanly exceeded twice previ- ousiy—viz.: In 1872 and 1873, when the de- mand succeeding the KFranco-Prussian war was heavy. Compared with 1888 the import. trade showed a gain of 10}y per cent, or not quite double the rate of thatin exports, ‘which was 6 1-6 per cent. OMAHA LIVE sTOCK, Cactle. Saturday, Feb. 1 The cattle market went in the sellers' direction today. The market was higher on all grades of boef and very unoven. While it would not bo safo to quote the general ad- vance at more than 10c, there were cuses h greater advance. Some holdovers brought 15¢ and even 200 more than was offered for them yostorday. ~dhey were sold early aud, as it were, on the spur of the moment, sud would not perhups huye brought the same money later in the day. On the other hand, there were cattie 1 the yards which the sellers thought had to sell at very hittle more than they would have brought yesterday. In addition to the local demand of the dressed beef operators there was & good shipping demand, and the ket opened earher and was more active thau on oany days of late, ‘Ihe beoves hera s0ld at $3.00@8, 95, with a large proportion of the sales at $3.25@3.50. Cow stuff also sold higher, the supply being light and the de- mand fair. Some choice heifers went s high as $3.00, out the sales of cows wera mostly at $2.00@2.83, There were a fow feeders here today, and there was somo trading iu that kiud of cattle.

OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY/AFE IXTEEN THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS Wheat Values Average Better, But Very Little Improvement Shown. ACTIVITY CHARACTERIZES CORN. A Fair Degree of Firmness Witnessed in Oate—Stronger Feeling in Provisions —An Up- turn in Hoge, CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Crrcaco, Feb, 1.—|Special Telogram to Tuar Ben, |—The wheat market manifested a disposition today to respond to bull in- fluences—practical influences in the form of buying orders—but speculative energy is at low ebb and the trade was of light volume, consequently values, though averaging rather better than yesterday, show no im- provement worth the name. Cables were steady. Minneapolis dispatches represented country elevator stocks in the northwest at 8,850,000 bushels, against 10,045,000 bushels January 1, and a smal decrease in the vi ble 18 promised for this week, Contributions to the stauistical news budget wore gener- ally bullish, But, as before stated, specula- tive energy is found to be in a languishing state and the markets do not muster up spirit. The market had rather a strong opening on reports of decreasing stocks at home and abroad, on the evident willingness of the bears to see a rally and on an article in & local paper going to prove that the ivisible reserves in farniers' hands are smaller than is generally believed to bo the case. Initial trades wero on a basis of 78%o. The price was held with considerable firmness around 8%, {c for quite a time. It then worked down to T8}gc, rallied foobly, but closed at the bottom, with February quoted at 74ge, March at 76c and July at 7675, ‘I'here was quite a shakiag up in the corn market, and, for such aslow moving body, remarkablo activity characterized its action today, This change was due to the drop which tho delivering out of about 500,000 bushels before the opening brought about. The market, howeyer, was ripo for such a dechine. Holders have been gradually losing their grip for some time and it took but little pressure to force their hand. There was nothing in the situation today which might not with cqual propriety have been said about it a month ago, but, like the ef- fect of the constant dropping of water on a rock, the long-continued and oft-repeated bear arguments of big crops and phenomenal mild weather exhausted the patience of the iongs, and they were frecly disposing of their property at what the shorts would pay for it. The market gave a show of firmness for a few minutes near the start, but soon weakened aud sold off from X to c. Tho only buyers were the shorts, and ‘they did uot come in with any great freedom until the price wot well down. The closing values were: February, 283(@23%¢c; Match, 203¢c sellers; May, 81%¢ bid; July, 32¢ bid. Oats were much less active than during the earlier days of the week, buta fair degree of firmness was present, especially in May, with buyers at 22%oc, that monuth being early held a shade above the figure named. A few traders from the wheat pit showed an inclination to purchase at medium figures* while near futures were entirely veglectod. There were no deliveries of consequonce on February contracts, and this month was nominally easy at 203{@20%c, with No. 3 cash about that rauge. New York re- ported 80,235 bushels taken export, and local recoipts were slightly larger than expected. The in- creased selling near the close vaused weak- ness, In provisions a firmer feeling prevailed and an advauce of 10c in pork was estab- lished. Light receipis and the light average weight of hogs and free buying ‘of the pro- duct by several largo houses was the cause for a stronger tone to this market. The Anglo packing company bought about 5,000 barrels of pork and also some lard. Helm- holz and Hutchinson were also large buyers of the product, especially of pork. The most prominent sellers of pork were Baldwin, the luternational, and Samuels. Morrell so0ld about 5,000 tierces of lard. The cash product was quiet, with only & fair demand. For May delivery pork opened at $10.05, ranged at §10.00@10.07% and closed at $10.05 @10,07%, Lard for the same month ovened at $6.03¢, ranged at $6.00@6.025 and closed at $0.021¢ bid. Compared with las% nignt's closing pork shows an advance of 10@13}4c, lard about 25g@3c and ribs 2igc. CHI10A LIVE STOCK. Cmioaco, Feb. 1.—{Spocial Telegram to Tum Bee.|—CATTLE—A large per cent of the fresh receipts consisted of cattle thav were bought in Kansas City for dressed beef operators, hence thera was only about 2,000 on the market, and even that small number was about all that was wanted, as the de- mand was slow and uucertain. As to prices, there was little or no change as compared with the close of last night, making prices about 25¢ higher than last wesk on such stock as has heretofore been selling at $4.00 and upwards. Only best cows shared in the advance, and common, together with can- ners, sold about as low as atany time. Every- thing was sold in the stocker and feeder line, with prices holding out strong to the last. Choice to extra beeves, $4.75@5.00; me- dium to good steers, 50 to 1,500 Ibs, £3.80@4.405 1,200 10 1,350 1bs, $3.50@4.20: 950 1bs. $3.00@: Stockers and feed- for ¢, with an up vy and light mixed and assorted light unchanged.

The disposition to wait for the new week was 80 general that the market was stagnant. There was a steady opening, which was followed by quiet busi- ness, the only animation being in ~New England, which displayed some strength, though its advance was for a fraction only. The general list, while extremely dull as a rule, displayed a firm tone throughout the hour and slight gains were made except in Chicago & Eastern Ilhnois stooks, each of which declined about 1 per cent on light trading. The wmarket failed to develope any further feature and at 11 o'clock was dull and heavy, developing o drooping tendency in the last few minutes, Chicago & Eastern Illinois preferred also dropped to 77 against 80 at the close vester- day. The bank statement, showing a slight decrease in reserves and over 5,000,000 in- crease in deposits, had a littlo influence on a dull market. 'There was a slight decreasing tendency before the close, but stocks at the close were either steady at last night's figures or sligntly higher. Lackawanna, after touchiug 137, closed % per cent higher at 136%, and Reading closed 5 per cent higher at 833§, Western stocks were gener- ally steady, but Atchison was up about i per centto 323, The feature of the last hour was heavy buyiug by insiders iu Coal stocks, ‘The following were the closing quotation 0.8, 48 regular. 1234 Nocthern Pacific.. 82% 12314 |do oreferred. 5% 1l 14044 108 2 963 8% E Y@y per ceat.

AN ANTIDOTE FOR ANTIQUITIES, The Real Estats and Building Busi- noss for the IPast Week—COom- parative Figures — The Bank Clearings. A Necessity Real and Pressing. “If the business men expect Omaha to become a great city,” said a well known business man, ‘‘they must organize and show more public spirit. When organized it is the duty of each member to bo present at the daily session. By doing so ne encourages others, gans @ personal advantage, and enhances the reputation of Omaha as a pro- gressive city. A Chicago board of trade man would rather lose his dinner every day than absent himself from 'change. If you ask him to stay away he will consider you an idiot. His engagements on ’change are paramount. Ten to one he will invite you 10 go along. Omaha business men can learn this lesson to great advuntage. These aro mors especially bankers, offico mon, builders, architects, real estate men and property owners generally. Editors, jobbers, manu- fecturers and corresponding lines are not expected, nor should they be required to turn out daily, Ewmergencies only are necessary for them. But for the office man there can be no excuse. He fails in his duty as a good citizen. Given an orgauization of which he should be a mem- ber and 18 not, and neglects its daily ses- sions, where ho can gain and give knowl- edgo, or devote his best thoughts to tis own profit and the prosperity of Omaha and doos not, set him down as a shan, A drone, or an ass. Heoughttozo where he is needed, Omauha has no use for him. We want men with metropolitan ideas, and the men who are willing to make Omaha a metropolis. A man who stays in his ofice all day, except the noon hour, expecting others to hunt him up on any but the first day of the month 18 & *‘chestout.” He is an antiquity. He is less useful than an Egyptian mummy. The mummy teaches of the past—we learn some- thing; this man teaches nothing, he knows nothing, he gets no fresh ideas by coming in contact with his fellow men. He is a biank. He ought to die. Omaha will be glad to bury and embalm him. He is t00 good or worth- less for this world. Better men need the place conspicuous by his vacancy. Look around and sce those doing business on this antiguated vrinciple and ask if this Is why nansas City, St. Paul and Mio- neapolis have beaten us in population and wealth, with Denver crowding us hard for preeminence. Maybe some of these men with large fortunes, too stingy to pay clerk preter to' make slaves of themselves, they ought to bo on the exchange. y call this *‘business,” and strange to say, some of our best men have fallen into this rut, when they ought to be up aud doing. 'Perhaps another may be 1dle in giu office playmng the ‘‘great man,” looking for the world to call around and worship him. This man usually gots left. ‘The best thing he can do is to mingle with the enterprising men of Omaha wher- ever they congregate for the daily transac- tlon of business, the interchange of courte- sies and the reception of friends and strangers from a_distance. This man may look like a lion, the skin may be all right, but the voice betrays him. These men have been a detriment to Omaha and tiey ought to be packed up and lald on the shelf. Doubtless they consider Omaha still a vil- lage. Another has denounced the rise of real estate as ‘“outrageous,” while clutching at *‘cent per cent”” from the men who - have done so much to make this city reat. These ‘‘antiquities” have kept maba at a disadvantage, which we realize, ‘To beat this the Real Estate and other ex- changes have been organized. They have infused more life into business circles than all other influcnces combined. Every mein- ber should make it his duty to be present at the daily sessions, anything else to the con- trary notwithstanding. The business men of New York, Chicago, Boston, Kansas City, Denver and otber large cities make this im- perative.” Omaha effects and desires to rank equal in business methods = with these places. Every little town in Kurope has its ‘‘bourse;” overy village in this coun- try bas its postofiice or corner grocery us a meeting place; every large city has its board of trade and exchanges for the systematio, rapid transaction of business, and they are crowded. But to Omaha it is reserved for certain men to stick to their offices doing clerical work or nothing, when they ought to be in better business, and yet they are con- tinually wondering why eastern capital does not move in freely to invest in Owsha corner lots. The way to get eastern capital is to go after, and work nard to get it. ‘‘Heaven nelps those who help themselves,” so the best thing to do is to get out of the ruts and “‘get up and dust.”’ No busi- ness man can do justice to himself or any one else by soclusion In an ofice. To make money he must mingle freely with other men. 1f he does not, he might as well flirt with the statue of Justice on the courthouse dome. If this shoe fits any of this community, whether in or ounv of the real estate ex- change, let him wear it. May it pinch so hard he will become a good citizenofl Omaha, doing his duty to himself, his neighbors and associates, The Realty Market, Business in real estate has been very brisk during the past week. The big transaction of the week was the sale of the N. B. Fal- coner property on Douglas street near Fifteenth, forty-four feet, for $75,000, The purchasers represent a Boston syndicato of capitalists who propose to invest a large amount of money in Omaka property during the comwg year. T'ho numbor of minor deals has been very large, the members of the Real Estate Exchange making reports of numerous sales each day, The total for the week is much less than that of the corres- ponding week of last year, in which the i“owler property in South Omaba was sold to the Omaha Packing Company for §250,000, The figures following showing the 1otal real estate treusactions and building permits for the week and month and the corresponding period for last year: REAL ESTATE TRANSPERS.
