THE CONDITION OF TRADE The Local Retail Trade is Gradually Grow- ing Better, COLLECTIONS ALSO SHOW IMPROVEMENT The Jobbers Report a Very Satistactory Out- look in Nearly All Lines -General Prospects In the West Tm- proving. Tho business situation brightens as spriog approaches nearer and while some branches of Omaha's retail trade feel the reviving in- fluences more than otuers, it is safe to say that there is a general improvement il along the hne. Local collections are consid- erably botter than they were two months 8go, which of itself is a very good indication, A Wall streot authority in commenting on the general business situation remarks that in the west there are indications of ereater activily taan for a number of years past, due doubtiess to the great increnso of values in that section arising from the remarkable production of wheat and corn, but in the mouth there is a feeling of depression, and in this section, while the accumulations of money aro abnormally large, business is in- mctive. During the past week thero has been an increased domand for ary goods in the west and this is looked upon as a token that other brauches of business will soon show a liko improvement. In the absence of definite information as to the trunsactions which occur over the coun ters of stores itis impossible to form accu- rate conclusions as to the husiness situation There are a tew facts which are made mani- fest by the ordinary comment of business men, indicating activity or dullness in trade, and these i) sunplomotod by definite figures as to the condition of the banks, the situation of the treasury und the extent of the clearings of certain localities, The stock and bond markets ulso serve to throw light upon which safe conclusious may bo based. At tho present moment we are confronted With statements that there is an abundance of money in the west, and we also have at hand definite figures indicating the mass of idle capital resting at the commercial centers of the east. It is difficult to reconcile these statements, except upon the assumption that & much larger amount of money is now in circulation than there was & year ago, nnd the statements of the treasury indicate that this is a fact. ‘The probable explanation of the activity in the west and the accumulation of money in the east, aside from the facts already indi- cated, 18 to be found in the statement that collections, which for more than a year back huve been difficult, have now becowme easy, and the west, which has suffered during the past two vears, has been paying debts of long standing to the east. T turn it is also trading on its improved credit, and hence, while it js making uo for the waste which until now"it could not re- pair, the real evidence of 1ts recent thrift is shown in the enlarged bank accounts of the eastern merchants. With moro money to spend there is reason for the belief that both sections will contribute lnrgely to the work of increasing production of ail that goes to satisfy the wants of men, The L Jobbing Trade continues in a generally satisfactory condi- tion, though heavy roads have undoubtedly interfered to some extent with the movement of gouds in a retail way in country towns. The movement of grain in Nebraska from farmers’ hands is now very light, and 1t ‘would not be surprising if tius did-not act to some extent to reduce the purchase ot goods by farmers and delay collections. In hardwaro prices have shown a tendenoy to strengthen, Tho prices on staples in this line have been extremely low and manufac. turers begin to show a disposition to advanca prices avove the actual cost of vroduction. There is, however, no signs of a boom in prices. During the past week barved wire advanced 10c per 100 and wire nails 10c per keg. Collectious in this line in the city are better than they were, but sull they are nothing to brag of. The grocery trade of tho past weck has been vory satisfactory in a jobbing way, and upon the whole better than a year ngo. The price on sugar remai:is about the same, the co! market is firmer. Some lines of canned goods are yery much higner, notably, corn, tomatoes and striug beans, Notenousrh gooas of this charactor were packed in the west last season to !un‘gly the demand. The New York Bulletin says of the grocery trade at that point that buyers almost with- out exception refuse to be hurried, and their slow methodical action at times becomes somothing of an annoyance, with complaint accordingly. Yot there are mauy operators when brought right down to a point of frank ackrcowledgment, who admit working out bout as full an average trade as last season and on generally advauntagzeous terms, as no run of custom has objected to the payment, of fair rates, The south and southwest 1s expected to bo somewhat back- ward in aevolopment of wants, owing to the 1ow price of cotton and the consequent econ- omicgl methods pursued by consumers, Ad- vices received from primal points this week contain information, as a rule, about in ac- cord with what might have been expected, the strongestaccounts coming from the coffee countries and acting more or less as a stimu- lant. Sugar promises well, und the West Indian crops are now moving with greater freedom. The local dry goods jobbing trade does not present any especially now foatures, The volume of business is quite satisfactory and all that could be asked for at this season of the year. In reference to this branch of busi- ness the New York Bulletin says that not- withstanding that the period under review bas marked tho ending of one month and the beginuing of another, the business offected by agents and manufacturers has reached o large amount; and while it has been con- ducted in a very conservative manuer, that a 1arge trade has been done by jobbers and the wvarious branches of the manufacturing trade is lugpurled by the frequency of orders ro ceived by the former for assortments of miscellaneous merchandise, Heavy remittances by package purchasers is good collateral also of the largo- ness of the trade north of the Ohio. In the southern tier of states, and the cotton belt articularly, the packagé trade has been more rightened than hurt. The tobacco, sugar and rice crops are of full uverage quantities d prices, and food products have been raised in larger quantity. The commercial depression in consequence of the low prices for cotton has been so magnitica that farmers have become frightened and hoarded any surplus funds to tide them oyer autil the maturity of the next crop. Failures through out the south bave involved no greater in- debtedness thau last year, but, while the public mind is more critical, it is much mors conservative, and, borrowing the example of more favored secctions, the demands of dealors and consumers aro being directea by actual requirements, LIVE STOCK MARKETS, Week With Cattle Un- settled, Hogs Steady and Both Higher.

The course of true love may never run smooth, but it gets there just the same. When a young man is first married all tho cake his wifo makes is angol-cake to him, 1o matter what it may seom like to other poople. In [reland Dennis Kooroboe died possessed of 43 children, 235 srandchildren and 44 great grandchilareo. Hehud boen married soven times, She was worth a million, and when Her- bert said, “Will you be mine!" she answered: No, Herbert, I will not; but you may be mine if you wish."” The marriage of Miss Sallie_Floyd-Jonoes of New York and Captain Barnardiston, grandson of the earl of Dartmouth, will take place next June. When the careful father's daughters get to bo of marriageablo age he will do well to take the old timopieco out of the parlor and put in a striking clock. It would often bo very hard to convince a young man deeply in love with a delightful virl that the timo will over come when he will refuse to eat, her pie. The young man in search of a wife goes about looking foranideal womau. The older man goes about looking for a practical woman when he wants to wed. The marriage of Miss Mattie E.

A Yorkshire vicar once received the fol- lowing notice regarding fa marriage from a parish house: ““This is to give you notis that I and Miss Jemima Arabella Brearly is com- in' to your church on Saturday afternoon nex’, t0 undergo the operation of matrimony at voar hands. Please be promp’ cab is hired by the hour.” The ‘‘operation’ was performed in due course. The engagements are announced in New York of Giraud Foster and Miss Jennie Van Nost; of W.3K.

At an clectric wedding recently given in Baltimore a series of magic transformations reminded the guests of fairy lore. Floods of incandescent light, glowing in all the rainbow colors, filled the rovms as the bride entered, to the music of the electric instruments, playing wierdly of themselves. like the far- famed organ of Germun fairy lore that of its own magic played, when groom and bride were in God’s sight well-pleasing. Eiectrical wedding bells rang with no hana touching them. And suddenly, at the feast, the room was plunged into darkness for & moment as the light tiushed out from the wreath oa the bride's head and from the flowers about the room. in whose heurts blazed tiny electric lamps in globes the tint of the flowers, Al el SOME NOTED MEN, Blaine was 62 last Sunday.

NEWS WAS OF A BULLISH CHARACTER Bradstreet's Report of the Exports from Both Consts for the Week Is Alleged to e Innccurate—Acti{vity In Stocks 1 Bouds, CHICAGO, TI1,, Feb, 6.—Wheat wan extremely vous toduy, an‘ though it averaged higher auch hizher at times—it closed ata shado under yesterday's lust figures. The nows was only of a bullish_character, though some of the items of {ntelligonce ealeulated to affect values, both for und against higher prices, were declared to be inaccurate or untrue, and here wore suspioions that the ne¥s manutac- tory was In operation. For instance, it was iven out by one of these that the story about winter wheat damage from frosts In France could not be true, Inasmuch s its French correspondent had fureishod the recent tem- peratures in that country, showing that the frost line had not been reached. On the other hand, while Bradstreet's reported the exports from both consts for the week nt substantlally the same figures as for the pre- ceding week a statemont was handed arouud that this was Incorrect and that there was, in reality, an Increase of about €0,000 bu. The market wus in such a nervous condition that 1t responded readily to such Influences. ‘tnere 18 understood to b u large short interest and the steady upturn for the past few days has mo nlarm and there wus more dis- position the t of shorts to cover und even somo of the most stalwart boars were proc with more oaution. Even Pal ridge was not plunging with his usual reck- lessness; fn fact he boutht some until the ad- vance culminated, when he turned soller acain, At tho start there was a good deal of nery- ous strengto left over from yesterday and it was reinforced by the buil news. Cables were all_quotea_higlier, Parls showing the most advance, This was sald to be due to serious damago in the French erop nnd fear of more to come, This was in fact the princlpal umu- nition of the bulls and it was used for all it was worth, At tho start prices were from %c to %o ubove yesterday's close but the advance led ° to heavy realizing sitios by the fortunate longs and under these offerings there was a quick drop. When this rredsllw was off, however, the market showed ts buoyancy by ' speedy reactlon buv later weakened again and lost the gain. May opened at from U2¢ to 92i¢ azainst 01%¢ at the close vesterday, sold off to 91%¢, advanced to 0314¢, broke to Dise. rallied to 92tse, fuctuated several times within the estabiished range, broke to 91%c again but ciosed tirm at 01%c. Corn wus more subject to the influence of wheat today than it has been for some time past, It opened excited and higher at d3c, agalnst 42%¢ at the close yosterday, sold off to 53¢, advanced to 43¢, broke during the lust hour and ciosed at 4240, The trude was broader and confluence more general, and not only were the belated shorts coming in, but investment buying was on the Increase. The situation has not changed muteriaily, as it was apparently strong enouzh before, but the feverish condition In wheat has imbarted a similur tone to corn. Oats were more active and strong, but de- velopea 1o especl il teature.

We think thero has been very large lquidation by the long interest today. "Any news of Importans would hardly find as largo u volume for sule in our opinion, und we feel friendly to it on all theso easy ‘places. Tho corn market fc lowed the lead of wheat with fair trade and considerable variation in price. We think it should be bought near these figures, Provi- slons were firm and there wus a fair specu- lative Inquiry. The opinion is gaining ground At receipts 0f hogs “will continue to show £211ing off, which will eventunlly tell favora bly upon the price of the product, and we he- Iieve in buying it.
