THE CONDITION OF THE TRADE A Now L:ase of Life to be Given United States Bonds, A FAIR JCBBING BUSINESS IN OMAHA. The Retail Merchants € lowing a Ver, icy in the Matter of sh Supplics. nerally Fol- ive Pol- urchas- Conserya ing I n is devoid of Local bankers The v im local a rtant Interested to some extent in the that Foster surely Issue a circular by next Monday giving the national banks that have 4'¢ per ceat bonds deposited tosecure circ the privilexe of having them exte hin the discre tion of the government draw 2 The object of this accommodat banks which own about )00,000 and have them deposited hero to securs their circula tion. The 41 por ynds become due September 1 and interest most of them being string money market makes a n case of lifo for the bonds at 2 per coat interest unprofitavle, but it will prove quite an accommodation to -ho banks, “The national banks of Omaha have over a million and a quarter in United States bonds Al should the sceretary take the action out lined above it will be of considerable import- ance to them, T financial changos ire in statement Secretar to to per cont. is the cont alr been ly during to 150 anticipute cent WIOLESALE TRAT of Omaha does not present any especially new features. It 15 about as good as usual at this season of the year and as a gencral thing quite satisfacto The uvmber of country ord recetved quite largo, but they are mostly for a small amoutt of goods The retuil merchants scem dis- posed to pursue & conscrvativ policy in_ only ordering such gocas asare required to fill their_immediato wants and the wholesalers are inclined to encourage them in this. Asarule jobbers do not ex- pect 1o see much change in the situation until after haryest, whon, if the crop proves to bo lurge thero will likely bo more liveral buying. In fact if the eropstiould turn out to be hieavy and prices good they look for great activity in all lines of business, In the way of prices on staple goods it is noted that wire nails are. casicr and rope and binding twine lower than they have been for years. Some weakness is shown in canned aud dried fruits of all kinds. In eastern distributing coutinued improvement is noted in the trade in domestio dry 00ds. In New York the number of buyers In the market it is said has increased, and among later arrivals were noted r. tives of large firms, whoso operations are of considerable importance always, and are likely to bz particularly weleome just now The demand preferred through the medium of mail orders has also expanded, being larger in volumo and of wider variety! Unde these cireumstances it is not surprising to find that the aggreeate busiiess for th weelk has been in oxtent, of u satisfactory character. Somelarge lines of staple cottons have beon traded in, both for current needs nd under i conditions, covering brown, bleached aud colored eottous. In other directions the week has brought out no new developments of importance, business in prints, wash fabries, dress goods, ete., moving steadily aloug’ on about previous lines. [n the grocery trade in New York it comes out occasionally that busiuess is still disap. pointing to many of the trade and considera- biy below caiculations based upon an assump ton that actual necessities were 0o urgent mmong dependent custom to permit a standing off 1o quite the extont resorted to of Lt In tavdware, says the Commercial Bulletin of New Yorl, thero has been at least tho for- mer average demand, and_some of the trade think possibly a slight iucrease, but as yet the market fails to reach a point of genuino and stimulating animation. As upon nearly ov- ery other linc of manufactured merchaidise, the absence of a non-speculative fecling is apparent, and when customers have filled out and checked off their purchase memorandums it is simply useless to seek from them an, further recognition, for the present at least., Valuations have been subject to no influcnce of a pronounced churacter of late, ard forme quotations generally remain curreut. COUNTRY PRODUCE Perhaps the most interestng feature in the produce market is the high prices at ich eggs have been selling, which is ver: untisual at this season of tho' year. All t past week eggs have been going at 1461 when 10c would ordinarily be considered a good price. Kggs appear to be searce all over the country, henco the high prices. Butter is low to what it was carly in the spring, but no lower than was anticipated for this time. The receipts are quite liberal, and as the retail tade is largely supplied by , the most of it has to go to the have been paying during the k 8 10¢ for wood, sweot butter. The poultry markoet has b practically without any’ changes for the past week or more, Live chickens are in good demand, and not very many comii they sell quite readily at” the prices, Other kinds of ultry, as geese, ducks and turkeys, are in ight ‘demand and no great number would maet with prompt salo. FRUITS, Almost the whole interest in the fruit mar- ket has centered in strawberries, The re ceipts of this fruit have been large, amount- fng to from two to three cars per day. While the demand has been good, it hus not pre vented the market from being very low. o looks now as if the market had touched bot- tom prices aud dealers look to see moro Atrength in it. At the samo time the quality of the fruit has been greatly improved und the preseat arrivals are very choice, which helps to make up tho difference in pr Other kiuds of fruits have been slow little doing. A few cherries aro which sell quite well poiuts a with arriving CROP CONDITIONS continue most favorable in all sections of the west and the prodiction that the yield would be unusually large seems in a fair way of being veritied. “What s fully as impor- tant as tho prospective large crops is the prospective high prices at which these crops aro likely o sell, The reports from rope indicate thut hoavy drafts will have to be made upon e Amicrica for grain to wake up their de- Teiency. In England the price of wheat has gouo up gradually until English rod, which was quoted at 858 per quarter two months ago, is now 425, or 10s moro than at this ume last year, The inc in the average price is not so large, but it is 8s per quarter above the corresponding period last year. Flour has risen in proportion, and in turn the retail prico of the four-pound loaf has gone up a half ponny. This upward move: went has been brought about by the smalluess of the past two vests and the indifferent prospects of the com oue. The accumulated ot previous abundant harvests wore so large that the de ficiencies of two years wero made goud with- out tho price buing 10 any extent, but when the prospeet of o thard short hur vest presented itsolf quotations began o rise, or immediate needs the supy! are abina ant, the bigher prices having br ht to Europe immense quantities, but tue pincn will bo felt later on should ‘prescut anticipa tions be realized both as to the luteness aud sbortness of the coming crop.

They Enter a VigorougProtest Against Being Made thel\Ohject of a Special Thx Leg- islatiof, The publication in Tue Bez of a graph outiining & proposed ordinanco which Councilman Specht 18 at has created a great deal of comment among com- mission men and was the matu subject of di onon Saturday. The paragraph re- 1to read follows: “Mr. Specht also has anotner idea that will be covered by It is to make commission houses The ordinance will provide » of this nature shall pay an In support of such an “Ih as para- upon work cu o as pay a licenso, that sach hous anvual license of ordinauce Mr wage to escape taxation, and as they in business, with lar of oy vested in the trade, it is only just that they should bo taxed as other business men, If we can’t get them in the regular way, [ pose to reach them through the tem. I'no wid lic se mel ure sums mo! term “commission houses” covers a range and includs a much larger aum- ber of business interests than might appear at first sight, o are the vroduce com- mission houses engaged in handling all kinds of country produce, grain commission men, and brokers and manufacturers’ agents rep- senting all kinds of manufactured articles and products and then too there are some re- tail merchants who do not own the goous which they sell but handle them on commis- wission. A uumber of commission men have ex- pressed their opinion on the subject of the proposed tax and it may be of interest to know their views, The Robert Purvis, a commission merchant, said: “I pay taxcs the same as any other property owner. This business is leiitimato and ought to be treated by the city the sume the grocery business or any other kind of business, I think such a tax would be wrong.” E. B. Branch of Branch & Co,, dealers in produce aud fruits, said: **Why don’t they nse other kinds of business¢ They could a bank, n dry goods store or any other kind of business. We are willing to pay a license if the council will license all other kinis of business.” Mr. Kirschbraun ot K Sons, produco dealers, said: I dou’t liko' it and I ' do mot see why we should be required to,pay a §100 licénse. Do ary goods, clothing deaters and others pay a license, if not why should we? We pay taxes on our building “and on our goods.” Mr. Ribbel commission never been schbraun o hav e but they of Ribbel & Smith, pro merchants, sdid: e exempt’ from taxes ay them overy | ye 1f would tax some of “the “corporations with aluable franchises they would not bo lack- «in funds, It will ngt dous any good in the way of making any fewer commission louses.” James A. Clark, handling country produco said: I say let the council go ahend and ass it 1! think it will 'nd to restrict the snide commuission houses which are starked on 50 or just enough cap- ital to pay for getting out a few civculars to send into the country quoting high prices and then when the goods come sell them and never pay for them, They can run about thrty days in that w and then close up. 1 piy taxes already, bu the same time would ‘bo williug topay an extra hundred to hotp-shuvout the frauds.” John Ryder of Ryder & Co. remarked Ui heavy taxes the same as any other incss man and I dow't see how they can put this extra tax onto me. I betieve it would drive some nall firms out of business. 1t would be an outrage. Everyone knows that the produce commission men have had hard word to make the two ends meet during the past three s, The majority of tho commission men Simply can uot afford to pay any additional ax." CGieorge Schroeder, Schroeder & Co, produce dealers, said: “We pay taxes pro- portionate to our business. If the council wants to do anything lev them licenso the out of town parties who come in here with wagon loads and car loads of produce which they sell and take the money home without paying the city any taxes.’ Mr. Williams of Williams & Cross said: “1 do not kuow of any commission men who cvade their Why not make other clusses of businoss pay a license as well as commission men? Mer are being taxed out of business overy year and now they talk about rubbing in more taxes. Commission me: working twenty hours a day ana have not made a dollar”in three years, 1 would like to have some one look up Mr. Svecht's business and sce what he is payiog taxes on, and how much.” Mr. Cockrell of Cockrell Brothers, grain_ brokers, was the only grain commission man that could Uo found in his office, others having close 3 account of the holiday, Mr. Cockrell “Iam willing to pay taxes but do not vant to bo mado a special object of taxation, It all the business men are to be taxed in the sumo way we would not complain. ~ \We have como hiero to do a_big grain buying business as well as a commission business, and do not sco any reason why the city should wish to place aily extra burden on us.” = S of De.
