LJHE CONDITION OF TRADE. A Varioty of Oonditions Induce a Olosencss of the Money Supply. LARGE SPRING TRADE COMING TO OMAHA. The Situation 1n Omaha Falrly Bne couraging—Effects of the Hoard- ing of Large Amounts of Money ~Work of Oapitalists, Despite the fact that trade in Omaha fs very fair for the season of the year and the miid character of the weather, money 1s tightening and business men who have ocea- sion to borrow are commencing to complain. It is not 50 close as to interfere to any great extent with commercial affairs, but suf- fictently so to make business men rather cau- tious about contracting any obligations not strictly necessary. If collections 18 to be << taken as any indication of the financial situa - tion, money is fully easier in the country than in the city. The business men of Omaha do not look upon the present closenoess of money as at all likely to lead to any serious, consequences, but on the contrary the feeling is generally prevalent that it is due only to outside influences, and will bo very briof in its duration. Afterthe first of the year, or by February 1 at the latest, & better condition of affaivs is anticipated, and 50 long as business men have confidence in the outlook forspring trade the present slight stringency in money will not hamper commercial transactions to any great extent. The fact of the matter is, while crops were short in some localities and a total failure in others, there is a large section of country both in this state and in lowa ere abundant crops were raised and where, owmg to the high prices of farm produce, money must be plenty. In such sections jobbers are antici- pating a very large spring trade and there “*“i{3no reason why it should not come to Omaha. Western Iowa, cspecially, will be worked very closely and every inducement possible offered to bring the people here to buy their goods and to sell their live stock. The situation in Omaha at the present time can be summed up in a very few words, money a little close but business fair with very flattering prospects for an unusually good spring trade. In the large eastorn centers of financo and commerco the situation during the past we has had anything but a rosy hue. A number ofold and well known houses have gone down under the strain and the air has been full of rumors of financial difficulties ind embarrassments surrounding supposedly strong firms, Fortunatoly, a good muny of these rumors have been proven to be only theidle tales of busvbodies bent on compli- cating the situation and forcing values of se- curities still lower for some selfish purpose, ‘The situation in cities like New York, Bos- ton and Philadelphia is peculiar in tho ex- treme. Money is plenty, there can be no doubt of it, for according to the government reports there are now between $30,000,000 and $100,000,000 more in circulation than a year agoat this time. The whole trouble appears to be that this money is being 4shoirded, and hence is not available for the ordinary purposes of financial and commercial transactions. Capitalists took alarm at the November flurry in Wall street, and as loans came due locked the money up Jnstead of throwing it back upon the market. 'On the other hand importers have been forced to do the same thing, though from different reasons. The vast amount of goods now held in bond must be removed by Feb- ruary 1, and this will necessitate the paying into the treasury of the United States many milllons of dollars in duties, With a strin- "“ money market, importers could not af- ord to wait and take the chance of being able to borrow the necessary money when the timo comes, but they ave being forced to hoard the money for the purpose. From a financial point of view, capitalists are doing the worst thing possible in locking up their funds, for they are not oulLlnju ing business in the east but they aro missing splendid opportunities for investments, had they only the ne courago to breast the storm. To a c extent the present financial scare, especially 2 New York, is senseless, and the fact that damuges boyond repair the credit of firms ‘whose stability in the matter of assets, other than actual cash, is unquestioned, ought to be sufficient to cause a halt in the mania of hoarding. However, a scared capitalist is a hard man to reason with, and the business ‘ world will be forced to get along +° “without him until all show of dan- gor 15 passed. Il will then crawl out of his hole, bringing his money with him and everyono will be surprised to see how fleulllul money will become and how easily oans can be effected on good security. At the commencement of the financial troubles in the east the difficulty was appar- ently confined to the speculators of Wall stroet, but it has since spread to such an ex- tent s to cause business men in all lines to feel its offects. Accordingly reports from large eastern cities indicate a very quiet con- dition in most lines of commerci: usiness, In the metal trade, contracts for rails, tracl supplies, eto., are still held in abeyance to a very great extent, thus leaving the situation in “@as poor shape as at any pre- vious time during the past thirty days, ‘The condition in other lines is not much vet- ter, and the salo of crude materials is slow and prices rather weak. Manufacturers aro curtailing their output to a considerable ex- tent in order to prevent any great accumula- tion of stock. Inthe grocery business east- ern dealers assert that trade 1s bein, koAn within just as narrow bounds as possible. As usual progress toward the end of the year in- duces curtallment of investments, and this inclination is now much intensified through the difMiculties surrounding all operations on account of the closeness of money. The east- ern market for dry goods has presented no ,Hl:eclnlly new features, the usual quiet at this season having prevailed in all branches of the wholesale trade. goods es In some lines of .lal seasonable, the movement was fairly satisfactory. Taken all in all, eastorn jobbers have had very little in the way of trade to be thankful for during the past week. As noted at the commencementof this article, trade in Omaha has been fair in most lines and about all that could be expected under the existing conditions. Values have nov shown much change and quotations are very much the sameas a week ago. This last assertion, however, will not hold good in ome articles of country produce, as, for ex- we. in the case of poultry, where & marked decline will be noticed. The financial disturbances in the east have produced at this distance littie more | ripple on the surface and legitimate by continues to prosper in Omaha, with every indieation poiuting toward an improvement st no very distant date.
