/ - SIXTEEN PAGES THE CONDITION OF TRAD Jity's Bank Failure the Principal “Evast of the Week. [INE CONDITION OF THE OMAHA BANKS. Kansas No Reason Why Money Should EBe Close~Eaberal Buying for tho Spring Trade—Bfect of Fine Weather, While the wreek just passed brought forth %0 radical change in the financial situation of Omuhaand the west it was not entirely uneventful. The most notable occurrmee was the falure of the American National bauk of Karsas City, and though by reason of the character of the bank the - failure had no diteot effect upon other business, it was the oceasion of considerable talk in financial circles. This was followed by @ run on a South Omaba savings bank, which fortu- nately amounted to nothing, as the bank was In condition to iiquidate all its obligations and its promptuess in meoting with cash the demands of its creditors soon allayed the fears of the timid, The pank is probably the better off for the run, as 1t was thus eaabled to prove its strength, This naturally suggests the oft-repeated fact that the banks of Omah are in excellent shape, and no city of the same sizo can make a better showing in this re spect. 1 the banks and bankers of Omahn are open 10 criticism it is vather on the side of belng too conser n the matter of loans. When mone; y closo at the great ecastorn s, and when tho country seemed on the verge of panic, conservatism was commendable in ail branches of business and especially in the banking business. Now that money is plenty in the east and from all points come reports of in 1 business aclivity, money ought 1o be easier m Omaba, Without doubt it is easier than it was a few weeks ago, but it is still too closo to meet the requirements of trade. To what extent bauks “are dircetly responsible for this condition of affairs they are bettor able to judge than any one onthe outside, but the business men of Omaha most sincerely hope that the conservatism of the banks will mot be carried too far and tho business of the cilty made to suffer without just cause. In~ Duun’s sview of the week occurs this statemen “Ithas been noteworthy throughout the re- cont financial troubles that the western cen- tersof trade have been comparatively freo from disturbance or apprencnsion, and now nergy and growth of the west havetheir larger trade aud stronger confi- commercial conters.’ Then follows a brief review of the trade of the leading cities of the west, and Omaliis t only one where maey is reported close. ¥ there been any great failures here or anything ©lse to shake public confidence, there might appear to be some excuse for this condition, butas no city has better credit than Omaha the fact that money is close here is dificult 10 explain. In local trade circles t! note of general interest. The jobbing trado s n whole is quiet. It isstill too earl the season for the revival of business con nected with the building trades and the open winter has necessarily iuterfered with the movement of all winter goods, People are enabled to do without much clothing and fuel which in ovdinary seo- sons are necessities and the money is hoarded by individuals instead of being thrown into general cf ion. This, together with the ificulty of negotiating commercial loans, ‘makes collections slow, botlvin the city and i the countr At eastevn distributing points the jobbing trido Is gencrally roportod in very falr con: dition. A wood many western wen have been in Now York the past week buying liberally for tho spring and summer trade, The speculutive markets of the past week have presented many interestiug featurcs. The week opened with May wheat selling at 03¢ and the closing quotations of the week was ofige. July wheat opened on Monday at%0icand closed on Saturday at ¥2ijc. “This cereal has received the greatest amount. of attention from speculators and the deals in some cuses have been very large. Corn and outs also made some gains botween the open- ing and closing of the week. May corn sold on Monday’s opening at51cand ciosed on Sat- urday at 52igc. Oats opened at Hizc for Moy and closed ot 45%¢c. In provisions the reverse was true, Saturday’s closing quotations be- ing lower than Monday'sopening. At the commencement of the week the quotations for May were: Pork, $10.85; ribs, £.40; lard, §,221;. Saturday’s close was; Pork, 1040} ribs, #2214 lard, 8,121, The situation in Wall Street is certainly on- conraging. The reserve fundheld by the New York banks have increased duving” the past, week #,905,050 and the total is now 24,090,000 “In excoss of the legal requirements. Already predictions have been made in the street. that tne reserve would run up to £30,000,00 in the pring and that money would be plonty and cheap. ‘The results of the increased of money available for commereial actions hias ulready been felt in the o renewed activity in most all lines of business. 0 is not much to OMAHA MARKETS, OMAHA, Jan. %, 1801, OATrLE—~Estinuted receints of catilo 1,20 as compared with 2,180 yesterday and 2806 Sit- urduy of last week. “The market was nctive and " steady on stéers.

EXCEPTIONAL ACTIVITY IN PROVISIONS. A Stealthy Advance in Wheat—Oorn Narrow and Hesitating Till Wheat Leads--Cattle and Hogs. an, 24.~[Special Tolegram to T The teading markets on'change opened atslightly better prices all around and early trading added a triflo tothe advance. Hefore the end of the hour everything wus hoavy and buck to, or under tho closing tiguresof Friduy. Themost activity was in the provision mar- kot. May pork sold with a range of 1240 and all prices wero about the close lust night. The salos for May delivery tne first hour wer Whoat, Mige to M4ige to Mo to 04'4: LOSINE to 51 %05 onts, 4544 pork, 81140 to $11.50 to #1575 to #11 #6.10 and 8,074 ribe, #5.% and .22 Yosterduy morning May whoat sold at 030, An hour before closo today May wheat sold at 05%c. The advanco was a stealthy one. Tho close last night was at 9de; the opening this morning Mikge with a bulge to 0bge on remark- ably tirm and higher cables. This was fol- lowed by a sctback to 4o in short order on o scuttering lot of bea news, Offerings, how- ever, wero very 1ight, oxcept by Purdrid who is aguinst every advance and on g buymmg even in faoe of the bear news, The brico rocovered to ixo before 11 o'clock. About midday the character of all the current news beewmo more bullish, The leading private wire houses began buying wheat very freely for St. Louls, This started the general trade w buying and not a fow shorts to covering and the price moved right up to H%e, took a drop to 954¢ on some hasty reallzing sales and then, with o spurt of activity, roso93e, July sold at 0.4¢ to80%¢ to0lige, The bear news early consisted of 26 cars of wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth and dispateles sayingthe receipts wore lkely to continue for thirty days; a statement by Br streets that the review of statistics showed the final estimate on whoeat as published to be 15,00,000 bushels too low. Fuglish farmers' deliverics were 107,000, ugalnst 95,000 & week ago and 74000 quarters 4 year ago. The only bull news was the exports from both coasts for the week of 2,200,000 bushols, against anaverage fn former years of 1,500,000 bushels for the same week and Liverpool cables which closed ut 15dito %d advance. This was fol- lowea by u statement that the primary mar- kets had recolved 25,00) pounds less for the week and that the exports were 100,000 bushels more and that the visible in May shows a de- crease of 102,000 t0 70,000 bushels. Minneapo- 1is will increnso the stocks 130,000 bushels and Duluth 30,000, while 8t. Louis has de¢ sed 210,000 In five days. Kansas City reported the freezing and thawing hard on the fields and Milwaukee reported No. 2 spring selling at the May price. On top of this came heavy St Louls buying, It began with Kennett-Hoplkins and was followed up with liberal buying through MeCormick & Co.. Logan & Co. and White & Co. Bloom was called a buyer through two other houses and Schwartz bought wheut credited to Dupee, who sold a line early. Haif an hour beforo the close the market was big and broad and strong, . with more of a bull ring in it than for wecks. Tho bull feeling lasted to the elose in wheat. The advance was a complete surprise to most of the trade, as tho price of May moved up to t4e, or 2450 over the morning price, and closed » tically at the top at 96%@%6'4c. January was quoted at 88tie early and up to 0te. July sold at80%c and up to 02%e the close, The corn trade was narrow and operatior of a hesitating character until the wheat mar- ket broke loose and 1ifted it out of the rut. arly sales for May wero at 5130 to 5l%e to bl%e. Left totself, corn would not have ad- vanced e before the close. The bull feeling ral sproad from wheat into fho corn market; shorts bezan to coveran | before 1o'clock May s0ld up to 5240 or 30 over st night and over tho first price today. The corn trade triod to convey an fdea that corn was strong of Itselr. This did not appear from tho business. Samples were firm, but the trade unsatisfac tory to both buyers and sollers. The receipts were ISL ocars, conside over the estimate, and for cars. No.2 corn for the week was but 17 cars, less than 1 per cent out of the receipts of 1431 cars; No. 2 last week, 62 out of 1111} a yoar ago, 115 carsout of 1 This loses its force when the No. 3 sells nearly at par with contract ns at the present. New Orleans cleared 210000 bushels for Liverpool. The lust price for May was 52140 seller; February 49ijo 1o 49%c; July 52¢ to 52%c; closing ut 52ye. The oats market did not zet fn tho whirl today to any extent. May sold eurly ut 43%@ G%e and $6%@He and with the bulze in wheat rose to 40c and closed less than lge up for the day at #%e, No price could be ol tained for January, June was quoted ut the close at 454c; July, 40%4c todl'ie to close, Tho provision trude started protty brisi and kept active most of the duy. Thero wus a little spurt of buying early on light receipts of hogs—I8000 head against an estimate of 2,000, On this the price of May pork wont trom }0.40t0 $105). The offerings of packers again prevailed and the price tumbled to $10.57% on the cull. Baxter, Fort and others bought freely on eall. McCormick & Co.
