A Brisk Wholesale Business and Large Sales in Most All Lanes— Jobbers Not Dissatisfiod — Business Failures. Local Weekly Review. The clearings for the woek as reported by Mr. Hughes, manager of the clearing hoise, foot up $4,079,511.80, an increase of 17}¢ per | cent over the same week last year. Bal- Rnces were \254.99, Banlkers report a fair demand for money nv firm rates, Prime papers is in good de- mand at 8 to 10 per cent, with the former figuro slightly shaded for large amounts of & choles paper. Exchange is in good supply nt 21 per $1,000 premium, , Collections continue fairly easy ana the country is payiog up very well indeed, all things considered. But few failures were reported to the agencies during the past week and a feeling that the dangerous period usual at this season is over prevails. City collections are said to be rather quiet this week. Trade, however, is good and im- proving. The comptroller of the currency has called for a statement of the condition of the national banks of the country. The Omaha banks will, it is understood, make an excellent showing. In the wholesale district busines rted as brisk and the volume of sales clothing, boots and is in excess of last year’s trade. Bome fault is found with the weather, ‘whieh is tainly unseasonable as com- pared with tue past winter, but despite all drawbacks the jobbing trade of the city shows a steady increass and our wholesale merchants are well enough content with the outlook. Of course & cold winter and warm spring would have been welcomed "and trade would have very much benefitted thereby, but the natural growth of the coun- | try tributary to this city creates a demand for goods in excess of any loss arising from ‘unfavorable weather conditions, and our jmerchants are, as a class, well content with 'the situation as it is. In the grocery trade the chief topic is the | Wholesale grocers’ sugar trust which, it is nderstood. is nearly un accomplished fact nd will exist for the purpose of securing to the jobbing grncerfi of the country a fair and uniform profit on that staple and as nineteen- twentioths of the jobbing grocers are inter- ested and as l.her- 1t will be to secure them l profit of ' per pound instead of losses ti ny hava ad through fluctuations reckless competition heretofore, there [seems to be no doubt of the success and per- manency of this last combination of capital end brains, ‘The starch trust is also said to be about 4ady for business and will begin by ad- vencing price: of a cent per pound on the £00,000,000 annually used. Clucose makers are coming into the markeu in oppository to the regular syrup refiners and mixers and claim to be in a position to dictate the prices on syrups, as well as glu- cose, in the future. j# The rubber boot and shoe manufacturers ‘combine met and considered the business situation reently, and as trade was reported dull all alo. the line they decided to ad- vance prices 10 per cent from April 1. The Western flint bottle association has ordered an advance of 5 per cent, of which prohibitionists will kindly take notice.

Cattle. Saturday, March 8, Receipts of cattle were estimated at 1,700 compared with 1,023 yesterday, atd 1479 lnst Saturday. The recemts for the week have been 13,022, compared with 10,414 lnst ‘weelk, & gain of 3,102. The week’s reoalpu yere the largest this year. Together with those held over from I'riday there were more than 2000 cattle on the market today. The quality of the racelgll was only medium, although a few bunches of good steers were sprinkled among them, one bunch of which sold at$4.35. The mariet opened nctive and was firm to strong on best stecrs and cows, and woek and shad- {ng off on the poorer aud less desirable qual- fties. But as the day wore along the feeling ‘become more hopeful and the tenor decio- edly better and prices began to rule firmer. Nearly everything changed hands early. Some fine veal was on uale sell~ jug 08 high as §5.50. Bulls still ntinue firm and active. The supply of eeders does not wmeet the demands and prices rnlu stroug and have continued on sn D Quring the last fortnight, some ling nu high as §3.42%¢. The demand, for the best qualities of steers and cows has not ‘been supplied this r and the result is that the best qualities have always found ready sales at strong prices. Some fine $3.30 heifers were on market. Before tho close everything was sold. Prices are about where they were last Monday on steers and cows, but not within 10¢ or 15¢ of the middie-of-the-week boom. o Hox Receipts of hogs estimated at 2,200 com~ pared with 4,500 yesterday and 1,803 last Saturday.

Criicaco, March 8.—|Special Telogram to Tne Bee.]—The wheat market was seri- ously interfered with here today by the fear of some surprise in Dodge's government figures due Monday. Many were kopt out of the market today by thisinfluence. The trade feels naturally a little bullish, and this kept them from selling to discount crop figures, which for some reason are expected to be bearish. Soveral houses had very bullish crop news today from Tennessee and Kentucky, but 1t is not half betieved and had little effect. * Chandler, Brown, Lam« sous and other houses bought freely ou the crop damage news from the south. Jones Kennett led the selling early. The northwest sold wheat here later. 'The local crowd, led by McCormick & Co. pounded the murket about noon. May mlJ at 78%c Lo T8igc to T8i{c to T8kic to T8%c to T81¢e to T8i{e At 1 o'clock. June sold off to 77Xc and July to 76c. T'ne market clcsed at the bottom prices of the day. March 7il{c, May 781{c, June 77%c and July 76c. Esti- mates on the decrease In the visible supply range from 250,000 to 800,000 bushels, with 800,000 to 400,000 the popul(u' fls:urc'. It is. claimed in advance that Dodge will make the wheat remaining in farmers’ hands 142,000,000 or over. Corn was fairly good in volume and fu- tures were not changed from yesterday. Shorts were about the only ones to buy corn and receivers sold. There was an effort early to prevent puts being reached, but it was claimed that fully 1,000,000 bushels were put today. Poole and Sherman were sellers of May and Orr sold before the ciose. Hutchinson was on both lldcs March was izc off at 273¢c. May sold at 20%@203c to #isc at the close. Other du-flnz prices wer April 28%c, June 20%{c. July 30%c, August 3110, Huplembnr 31 h‘(u {0, RfitLlVan houses sold oats tod uv, led by Counselman, and the market yiolded with the others. 'May wout off from 21i@21 0 210 and closed at2.@21gc; June closed at 24c. There was a better demand for cash lard this morning and that started buying for May. This in turn started shorts to cover- ing and all products were advanced during the first hour. When it was found that stuff could be had it was not wanted so ‘badly and the market was easier toward the close. May lard sold up to $6.05 and_closed at $6.025¢. " May pork sold to $10.10@10. wx and closed at $10.073¢, with March at $0.571¢ and July at $10.15. " Ribs wera 5¢ higher ab one timo and $4.92!4 aud closed at $4.90. CH10AGO LIV E STOCK. Crrcaco, March 8.—{Spocial Telogram to Tag Ber.]—Catrin—A« few lots of prime steers sold equally as well dt the close yes- terday and ubout everything oxcept cows and cagners sold about the samg as yesterday. Speculators in stockers and foedets re- ported about everything soid, but at least 10¢ 10 15¢ lower than any day dgring the weelk. Those who supposs that the so-called *‘big four” are ranning this market will do well to study these figures, Reports from west- ern marlkets show onlv moderate receipts, so we will not have maony cattle from these places for Monday, but look for a good strong market, if not a higner ono,..tlie first of the week, .

Prices at the close are not much diffcrent from those of last weck. The markot has shown considerable strength in the face of increased receipts. The shipping demand ‘both for live hogs and for hog vroduct 18 re- markably good. We see no reason to believe that hogs wiil sell any lower next week than this. New York, March 8.—|Spocial Telegram to Tur Bek.|—Srocks—The stock market started this morning as it closed yesterday— strong aud advanciog. Nothing ocourred over night to change the hopetul feeling in the stock market, and first prices were gomerally from X to 3 per cent higher than lasy evening's figures. ‘The noavy buying in Reading continued, and on large transactions that stock was run up to 883 against 875 1ast night, and although other active stocks were not adganced so sharply, fractional gams were scored all over the list. Sugar was less active and failed to recover much froj last night's decline and after- ward retired to below its first prwe. Early dealings were attended by considerable activity in leading stocks, out when the first demand had been satisfied the influence of the expected bad bank statement was felt and bears were enabled to wipe out the gans in some of tho list, Rock Islana, Missouri Pacific, Lounisviile & Nashville and Bituminous Coal shares being conspicious. The bank statement was the bear influence that it was predicted. Reserves decreased for the week over $2,000,000, loans decreased 3,480,000, specio decreased $2,450,000, and deposits fell off nearly $3,000,000. This was the turning point in the market. Prices de- clined to the close. Reading felt the weak- ness least and oclosod % higher at 884, Sugar closed & point off from the opening at 603 Burliogton, after toucning 105, closed at 104%. Northwestern touched 110X, closing at 100%5. Rock Island, St. Paul, Missouri Pacitic and Union Pacific ach lost the ad- vance of the tirst hoyr and closea X to 1§ per cent unaer last night. . Fhe money ques- tion again hides ull others in its importance, and the bulls feel discouraged over this fea- ture of the market. !

Miss flllen Terry’s Study. Before bidding me good-by Miss Terry took me into her study, u cosey little nest, papered like the drawing-room in dull olive greeu, with the same effect- ive broad frieze. Here again are num- bers. of interesting sketches of Miss Terry in various costumes, her efever sisters, the sweet, beautiful face of her mother and theatrical celebrities of days gone by. T'he most striking piece of furniture is a huge couch. No room in Miss Terry’s house is without one of these comfortable lounges, with their large, tempting cushions, The small writing table was litercd with papers and cor- respondence, and, like the drawing room, this little study had that thor- oughly lived-in appearance which al- ways adds such a charm to a room. 1 noticed on the shelves the following favorite volumes: Shakespeave’s plays; Shelly’s poetical works; **The Last Days of Pompeii;” “Laysof Ancient Rome;” some n[ Dickens’ works; Percy’s *‘Rel- iques;” Sterne’s “honmncnm‘ Jour- ney:” Chaucer’s poems; ‘‘Zoroaster,” by Mmlon Crawford; “Handbook of Painting,” by Waagen; Byron’s works; some of Scott’s novels; Holbein's **Dance of Death;” **John [ng]psunt " Froude’s “Shory Studies on Groat Subjocts;” Prescott’s works; ‘“‘Essays of Eliay” Longigllow’s poems and Tennyson’s poems. “This is where I study my parts and do my work,” said Miss Terry, and im- mediately the room became possessed of anew beauty in my eyes. It was here that Miss T y had thought out her fine conception of Lady Macbeth; here she had compared her n.wmg with those of Mrs. Siddons and Mrs. Pritch- ard; here she studied the ways of som- nambulists. 1 could have stayed talking for hours, writes a London correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, but that still small voice of conscience insisted on making itsell heard, for I knew the actress was only waiting for my departure to take her short siesta, without which she can- not appear in the i Biedler, Montana scout the famous who recently died, was as intrepid as he was fertile of resource in danger. One time at Miles City he came out of the door of a saloon to find himself with- in twenty inches of the muzzle of a forty-four caliber revolver in the hand of a noted desperado, on whose trail the deputy marshal had oftimes camped. *I’m goin’ to blow the innards out of your skull, you vigilante hound,” quoth the bad man. *‘Not with that thing,” said ‘X" (the scout’s pseudonym) in & conversational but somi- querulous tone. It ain’t cocked.’ I'ne bad man threw up the pistol to see if Biedler was right, and made the :.l'xh\uku ofa life, which ended right here, A SEASON OF . ACTIVITY. The Real Hstate Men Doing a Prof- itable Business. A MANUFACTURERS' BUREAU. General Activity Reported in All Directions, with ues Steadily Rising—The Week's Busi- ness Resume. The Realty Markot. This is the season of the year when acro lands are not particularly sought after as investors deem it wiser to divert their ready cash into productive lands and the demand for contral property goes marching on in & notably active manner and particularly for good business sites. Capitalists and busi- noss firms are looking out for profitable in- vestments on several of the best business streets and some prominent deals are undor way that nvolve the transfer and improve- ment of some prominent corners and valu- able sites, The weather for the past weck has been a bar to outside hustling, but the real estute men have reason to bo woll satis- fled with their business and their prospocts. Everything poiots to the best season’s busi- noss since 1857, The appended table shows the totals of the real estato transfers and buiiding permits for the past week aod the corresponding week of last year.

The Real Istate exchange, which is already doing so much for the city, has another schemo on foot for the developmeni of the manufacturing industries. It is pro- posed to raise a large amount of money, say £150,000, by subscription for the purchase of an option on 1,000 acres of land to be used for agricultural purposes. This would enable the burean to give land donations and stock subscriptions to manufacturers sceking a location here. The land could be divided nto lots and enough sold to give handsome bonus funde¢ to desirable enterprises. ‘Ten per cent of the proceeds of a lot salo of such property would pay the taxes on the land, reiieve any encumbrance on the property and also create a begiuning of the subsidy fund. The matter is now being considered Ly a committes and will be bresented for the action of the exchange au an early meeting. More Elevators. A kuowing business man predicts that more importance attaches to the visit to Omaha of Mr. B. Fowler of the Chicago board of trade than appears on the surface. Mr. Fowler is president of the Fowler Eio- vator company of this city. He reported that his firm was handling 100 car loads of grain a day, and could not begin to handle the business that was coming to it. He pro- poses to double the capacity of the eleyuior, and may add another one of mammoth pro- portions to the plant already established. Hoe predicts that Omaha is destined to become one of tho great grain markets of the coun- ry. Satisfled With His Property. Mr. E. G. Botbe, & capitalist of New York, was in the city several days during the past week looking after his property interests here. Four years ago Mr. Bote was prevailed upon by Mr. C. Hartman to invest $14,000 in the purchase of lot 7, block 115, an K'arnam street just west of Eighteenth stroet. Dur- ing Mr. Bote's stay here last week Mr. Hart- man offered him $35,000 in cash for the same droperty. Mr. Bote declined the ofter. He said ne had been offered nearly that amount by another party and visited the city 1o ascertain what the conditions were that had occasioned an increase oi 250 per cent in the value of his propert¥ in four years. His in- vestigation convinced him that tne property will soon become still more valuable and he decided to decline the flattering offer for the present. §Another Shanty Kemoval. Tenants in the frame shanties just east of the Continental block on Douglass street hove received notice to vacate. The site, which is one of the most desirable on the street, will be adorned by a haondsome flve- story brick building, a part of which, it is underatood, will be occupied by Kelloy, Stiger & Co.’s dry goods house. The build- ing to be erected will cost $150,000, - Seeking a Fair Site, 'rhe West Side people are alter the loca- tion of the exhibit of the Douglas County Agricultural society. Rare inducements have been offered 1n the way of grounds, and 8 visit wiill be made by the oficers of the society, who will wisit the proposed site some duy this week. The society will, as 8000 a8 & site is selected, begin the prelim- inary arrangements for the exhibition next a A Big Summer Park. Potor Ruser, the proprietor of Ruser's park, has leased his place to the German so- ciety, the managers of which will iay out the entire tract, forty acres, into a summer garden for their weekly meetings and for the tournaments of the Schutzenverein, ‘Lhey are already at work seeking an exten- sion of the streot car lines to whe grounds, “Private sacrifices.” “There is one notion in the heads of some Omaha men,” said a member of the Real Kstate oxchange, ‘‘that ought to be beaten out with a club. That is that subseriptions for the advertisement ot Owmaha public en- terprises and festivals and the entertsin- ment of visitors is & ‘private sacrifive.’ A Chicago man would laugh to scorn such foolishnes: The sooner our railroads, hotels, banks and business men learn to set aside & certain per cent of their earn. 1 such purposes, and muke o of it, the better it will be for themselves and Omaha. Chicago is re- garded us a public spirited city, Her busi- ness men adopted this rule years ago, and no expenso is spared by her merchants and capitalists to forward the eaterprises which have made that city great. New York i her shameful neglect of the Grant wmonu- ment has suffered in proportion, and now she has the humiliation of seeing the greatest prize of the century wrested from her grasp by her younger and more enterprising com- petitor, The public spirited men of Chicago built the great Auditorium, costing sevoral millons of dollars, and now they have seoured the world’s fair through their enterprise and liberality The nearest that city ever came to defeat is when Omaha, with her splendid offer to en- tertain the national republicun convention entered the lists agawst ber. That effort gave Omaha tional reputation, bocause our business put their nands in their pockets aud were willing to apend a princely 15 UM tosecure a groat national prize. Why not emulate this on all occusions! Chicago never relaxos her oncrgios, and Omaha should sot. Onicago men make ule to set asido a cor- tain amount to securs those KFoAt prizes. They bogan that courso in 1850 and have never faltes Chicago merchants have be- come prine and within twenty years Chicago will be the Imverial city of the continent. Omaba could emulate her exampio to advantage. As an investmont theso subscriptions for public purposes ro- turn all the way from one hlllulrfl‘ to one thousaand fold on the money subscribed. It is astonishing that any banker, merchant, hotel, or railtond comvany would hesitate moment to subscribe handsomely when the city can be buonofitted or made atiractive, « Here is an illustration of the way Chicago hotel men do: the bankers and othera wero equally liberal o proportion. Among the subscriptions to the world's fair fund of £,000,000 the Palmer House subs $30,000 and the Grand Pacific § 1t ' i ostimated that at loast 10,000,000 poople will visit the fair, Allow 500,000 guests at &.00 per day to each of theso hotets, ns bolow. during tho timo the fair is held and hero is the resuit: PALMER HOUSE.

They troated their subscriptions simply as a business proposition.

Total How Wame:n Should Waltk, Have you noticed how few womeu walk gracefully nowadays? It is un- usual to seo a woman carry her head and shoulders well and step out freely, with a poetical grace of movement. The majority waddle, strut or bounce. The schoolgirl trips or hurries along head forward, says the New York Her- ald. The loitering shopper goes on her way with a lollug step. The young woman studying art, music or for the drama lets her tlapping, wsthetic cloak hang loosely open as she saunters among acrowd. The tailor-made girl, saverely buttoned to the chin, hasa stride exactly like her brothers, Observe, if you please, the swaying, sidelong swish-swash of that over- dressed girl wearing a satin gown ona wet day. Though you cannot see her shoes, you know from the way sho rests first on one foot and then on the other that they are too tight. We meet au every turn the girt who runs out her chiny, who sways her arms and who carries one shoulder higher than the other. The undulating movement which should be natural to women seems to have disappeared. Modjeskn is one of the few women in New York who walk well, She has the gaitof a god- dess. Tosce her move is sutisfying in one way and tantalizing in another— you wonder how she does it. You have doubtless watched a panther pacing backward and forward in his cage. How like velvet is his step. How vegular, how easy, yet full of repressed strength. Men who have devoted many yours to the study of physical culture by a panther and a woman should get over the ground in the same easy, dig- nified way 1f you would walk el girls, study the panther in the park, then go and do likewise. A good way to practice is to start on a fine bracing morning for a straight three-mile stretch and cover it at an even pace. Wear warm wraps, but leaye your cor- set at home. Corduroy makes un excel- lent walking suit. A few days since [ met a party of three girls in the upper part of Central park, each one a symphouny in brown corduroy, made witi skirts of ankle length and Norfolk jackets. Fore and alt caps of s ;I_y tweed ard bearskin capes completed the costume, which seemed by richt to belong to the hero- ine of one of William Black’s Highland tales. - Little Women, Little women with large heads very often think they will look taller if they wear lavge hats and a Huffy arrange- ment of the hairsays the St. Louis Post- Dispatch. This is a fallacy, and 1ustead of 1ooking taller they will only appear the shorter. The reason is very simple. Their height is only about six lengths of the head. Naturally, by incroasing the size of the head the disproportion will be greater, as then their ligure will appear to be only five times the length of their head. Little women should w small hats and simple hair dress. Oue often hears a tall when trying on a large hat: not think of wearing this woman say, +0, T eould hat; why, it adds at least six inches to my height, and I think I am tall enough now.” | And she forthwith proceeds to buy a | little bit of o hat, scarcely distinguish- able from her Psyche knot. But if a large hat the hoad would ap- er and in better proportion to | she wor | pear lur | the body.
