S oh THE CONDITION OF TRADE. Optimistic Reflections on the Financial Situation in Bastern Centers: - OMAHA BUSINESS THUS FAR UNEFFECTED, Dankers Regard the Outlook as F vorable—Jobbers Report a Marked Improvement - The Week's Business RReviewed, The past month has witnessed some very important changes in the financial centers in the large easterncitics, At times the situ tion, 8o far at least s speculative interests were concerned, has been very threatening, but the most dangerous point was safe passed. The speculative markets have been slowly recovering themselves and returning to their normal condition, but there is no de- nying the fact that there is a stringency in v markets, especially as regards commercial loans, which is quite keenly felt in the finuncial circles of some of the larsest eastern cities, as New York, Philadelphia and Boston. This too, in the face of the fact that the volume of currency in cireulation is larger than it ever has been before, and that clearing house cortificates have also been is- sued to a great extent, there being, itis claimed, £,000,000 of such certificates out- standing in New York. Under such rcircum- stances it is not surprising that financ meet with some difficulty in explaining the cause of the existing money stringency, or rather that they ave not agreed as to the causes leading up toit. Some are inclined to ascribe it 0 the lack of credit, upon which by far the greater part of modern cominerce depends, but there s no complaint "2 a5 to collections, which are fully as good as usual, and failures are by no means numer- ous, excepting in connection with the recent Wall street flurry. At the same time east- ern bankers claim that they are called upon o reow paper tnmore than the usual pro- portion and that they find the commercial de- mands for discounts inadequately supplied Taking this as a cue, some are inclinnd to ascribe the scarcity in money available for fluancial transactions to the overpurchasing of goods for distribution, or, in other words, to the purchasing of moro goods for distribu- tion than have beep distributed to consum- ers, thus tying up vast sums of money. Ao- cording to this theory merchants have acted on the supposition that the consumption Would go on increasing but, owing to partial failurc of crops and various other causes combiued, it begins to look asif the actual consumption, instead cf cxpanding, was in- clined, in somo branches at least, to shrink. If this be the true explanati. the slightest cause for apprehen solves itsclf intoa plain case of ‘‘wai tiently and all will come out right." miatter of course’ the present money strin- geney would, under such circumstances, be very apt to continue in the places where it is now felt until the opening up of spring trade. The Journal of Financ v York takes an even more cheerful view of the situation aud names the agencies which are producing 4 temporary stringency as mere 1ncidents of the recovery of the speculative markoets According to thut view the market was fas approaching a normal condition when the cmbarrassment of the Barings was an- nounced. This was a set back, which, uc- companied by one of thestrongest bear move- ments Wall Strect has ever witnessed, stayed the tide of advance and moved values back fora few days The banks were be- seiged both by borrowers and _investors, the former to save themselves and the latter. to improve au opportunity. Loans increased and depasits decreased. The resorves van- ished. The banks have since contracted their loans and are recovering their pos ‘They are restoring their reserve, and accord- ing to this hopeful view, will soon be in as healthful a condition as in the latter part of October and the early partof November. With all the talk about a tight money mar- Xet in the east it is not surprising that the subject is beginuing to be spoken of in local business circles and that, where auy line of business 's not 80 good as it ought to be, or as the dealers would like to see it, tho cause is aseribed to tho scarcity of money, This is { {:;ruuulnrlymo case where the hlame cannot 1aid upen the open winter or any other ap- 1 parent local cause. Thus far, however, thero { bas been ©o just cause forany compls about money in Omaha. The banks he ! fnexcellent condition and fully prop: meet all the demands of legitimate b Money is not quite so easy as it has been dur ing some months owing to the increasea do- . mand usual &t thas time of the year, but there are no signs of any stringency, Omaha bankers generally regard the outlook as vor: favorable and anticipate a marked improve ment after the first of the year., Local jobbers all report a very fair trade for the season of the year. he coldor weather prevailing during the past week has been of material assistance in some lines, such as dvy goods, in which there has been cousiderablo snap'to the trade. Aftor a pro- longed spell of mild weather trade responds very quickly to any decided lowering of the temperature and the retail dealers have been sending in urgent orders, that have veen veuy gratifying to the jobbers, This improvement extends to all lines of goods that are espe- clally needed for winter wear, such as caps, lined gloves, heavy boots and snoes, ready made clothing and all heavy woolen fabrics, The near approach of the holidays also causes some improvement in goods usually in de- mand at that time, but such goods are for the most part already in the hands of the re- tail dealers, In a fim\l mauny lines of busi- ness dealers never look for much trade in December, aud such lines are now accord- !nglg experiencing their usual dull time. The lumber trade, so far as the jobbing business 15 concerned, is practically closed for the year and prices will probably remain at their present status, unless there should b me mportant change in railroad rates, Values in the metal market remain about stationary, and the movament of goods is fully up to what dealers have u right to expectat this season. Thereds no gencral break in the monotony ot the wholesale mar- ket for staple grocer The few fluctua- tions in valuo taking place are unimportant and hardly worthy of special mention. Prices on country produce have ruled rather low in many inetances duriug the woek past and ro- ceipts accordingly have beeu dropping off. This is especially true in the case of poultry The shipments of gamo have also decren very materially, though from some cau ices hero have been hig comparison with those paid at castern points. Taken all in all, it would seem to have been a week which local dealers can look back upon without much cause for complaint, ONAHA MARKETS, Naturday, 1 OATIL Estimated recolpts of ecattle ascomonred with LAs2 yosterday and 1,2 ~wo urday of last weok, The receipts during th, week weve 13,600 as vith 0,582 the woek prior.
