THE CONDITION OF TRADE The Jobbing Trade of Omaba Good ina General Way, A FEW LINES ESPECIALLY ACTIVE Many of the Loenal Manufacturers Pushed to Keep Up with Orders ne ave Been Fore Withdraw Their Traveling M to Tho local jobbing trade of Oniaha continues in a most satisfactory condition aud in volume much in excess of last year. The movement of country produce is not so heavy as it was and that fact would tena to restrict the amount of money in circulation in the country and hence reduce somewhat the de mands for goods, The existence of these con- ditions muy reduce the volume of trade in some instances but not enough to produce uny appreciavle change in the joobing busi- ness as a whole, It is said (Lat the trade in dry goods and boots and shoes 1s especially good at the present time. In commenting on the dry goods trade the New York Bulletin observes that the con ditions affecting the dry goods trade durlog the first quarter of this year have been un usual. The grain rowing sections of the country bave been realizing the benefits of exceedingly large crops, for which a good market existed. The cotton producing states have been laboring under tho influence of a large yicld, but abnormally low prices. The buying powers of the latter section have been necescurily reduced, whilst the demand com- ing from the former has reflected more or less improved flnoncial conaitions. Besides these factors the iron_working sectior.s have been busily employed, and the earnings of the masses have more than offset the low prices received by the manufacturers. The consumptive demand over tne whole country has, in all probability, under these conditions mado considerable progress: the reduction in ihe south being more thau counterbalaunced by the increase elsewhere. 'he Bulietin futbermore adds that in one important respect the business of the quir- ter bears decidedlv favorable comparison with a yearago. The financial conditious have improved all round. Then the country was emerging froma period of monetary stringency, payments were irregular and overdue accounts an unwelcome feature. This year money has been plentiful, accom- modation easy and collections prompt and regular. Even in the south, where condi- tions warrantea cxpectations of deferred payments on a large scale, there is compar- atively limited overdue indebteduess. Here again’ is proof of a laudable change in buyers’ methods: they have accommodated their purchases more closely to their actual requirements, stripping them of all appearance of speculative busi- ness, So far as the south is concerned, this has in some degree been com- pulsory, there eing an indisposition to ex- tend credit as generally as usual. The list of fariures for the three months corroborates those statements and shows that they are not peculiar to dry goods only. Bradstreet's retucns the totul number of failures for the quarter at 3,207, against 3,401 last year, with total liabi of 15,361,000, sgaiust &44,- 848,000, of which the soutbern states fur- nished 690, against 701, and liabilitics of 0,500,000, against §3,502,000 last year. Manufacturers Busy. One of the most gratifying sigus of the re- newed prosperity in Nebraska is the activity revailing in most lines of manufacture. While much of this is due to the home patronage campaign so successfully ¢tarried on, it is none the less rratifying. Manufacturers who were a year Ago complaining about the difficulty of get- ting their goods before the people are now complaining about the_difficulty of keeping up with their orders. Tho signs of prosper- ity among the manufacturers are many. Some havo moved into new and larger buildings, others have added to their old quarters, and still others have added to the number of their employes with- out being forced to move. Take for example the overall business. The threo factories in Omaha have, since a year ago, been adding rapidly to their working force, ana two of them have been forced to move into new and larger buildings. In spite of the rapia in- crease in their plants they are all rushed to keep up with orders. Meanwhilo anothor factory in the same line has been started, and instead of requiring several years to get a foothold, it starts out as a large estan- lishment from the very outset, with a de- mand Zor all the goods that it can turn out. 1t is not to be expectea that every line of anufacture could be quite 5o prosperous, The month of March and tho early part of April has as usual been a dull period for the cigar manufacturers. They expect some im- provement in their line with the coming of warmer weather, but it is au_unfortunate fact that the smokers of Omaha bave not been very deoply infuenced by the home patronagé movement and a great mauy bus ness men aro still sending their money out of the city for cigars, Country Produce.

SCOTT’'S SUCCESSOR. higher; The e Congregational Not Yet Sure of Rev. 8. Wright Butler, The St. Mary's Avenue Congregational church, since the resignation of Rev. Willard Scott, has been making strenuous efforts to find a man capablo of filling the place va- cated byits former pastor. At one time it was supposed that such a man had been se- cured in the person of Rav. H. A. Warnela of Brockton, Mass., and® a call was accord- ingly extended, but the pressure on Rev. Warfield by his own people was so [great be ueclined to accept. The néxt man to find favor in the eyes of the good people of the St Mary's Avenue church was Rev. S. Wricht Butler of Port Chester, N. Y. A call both entbusiastic and unanimous was extended and Rov. Butler signified his willingness to accept, but his people now arise and with one voice say he shall not leave them, At a meeting called to accept his resignation a committee was ap- poiuted to comimunicate with the St. Mary's Avenue church and request the release of its ‘pastor-elect and allow him to remain 10 his present field of lavor and tha following reso- lution was adopted: Whereas, We desire to bear testimony to th zeal. devotion and eloguence of the Rev.

AGAIN PARDRIDGE A CONQUEROR Though Appearance Indicated Friday That the Daring Trader Was to Lose Mil- llons He Recovered Everything by Skiliful Managemgnt. CRICAGO, T1L, April .—A bolder plunge was probably never witnessed In the Chicago wheat trade than that made by Edward Pardridge today. Last night, with estimated short sales of 1),000,0.0 bu. chaikea up against with the quotations shooting sky ward and with every jump in the price meaning a personal loss of #10),000, the odd littie spesu- lator was believed 1o be ready to throw up his hands fn despalr, Tonight all was changed. Pardridze was again a conqueror A reziment of brokers at his orders had dashied Into the pit at the very outset of the day and fought his enemles to a staud- stlll. Before the day ended he puiled down thie prico over o a bushel from the highest it reached. The close was within 'ie of tha lowest price of the day. Pardridge in person the floor bright and early. The gal- {os and pits were crowded to suffocation in expectation of seelnz a cyclone when, losing his nerve, he shouid attenpt to buy instead of sellinz, The noted plunger wis hastily rush- ing from one frienl to roand waki Lis remarks jokey an was all the erotion he displayed. He wore u natty black frock coat. light trousers and a small black derby jauntily perehied on the back ofhis head gave him a erisp, business nir. His keen gruy eyes were fully alive to what was goingon. Now and then his friends would eagerly swarm around him to ask how things wero going, but Pard- idge was too busy rushing from pit to pit to talk with them long. and would vouchsafe a few hurried words and tear himself uway. Ho denfed that ho nad lostor would lose” any- thing and declared: “When 1 lose, I losc for keeps, but I am not worrying about loss just now, 'Tam feeling all rizht,” and with that Lie again dove for tha pit. When approached another opportunity he emphatically as- ted that nothing would drive him ket went to #l a bush The day's trade was spasmodlic, and on the wholo not us heavy as yester arket was very exciting, at others qui ctuations were rapidand violent and the ling wus very unsottled. The opening was the wildest for some tine, and prices varied 1lge within the first few seconds in different purts of the crowd, sules being made at from 150 10 T3¢ over th ciosing figures yesterday Bull news was plentitul, nud but for Pari: dr.dge's bold tacties would huve had marked effect, for bear advices were scarce. Cables were ‘decidedly firm, Liverpool belng quoted from 1d to 1344 higher und London from 9d to 10d higher. " All domestlc markets were on rumouge and made a biz spurt st the start, ana most of them held well to the advance. St. Louls was a possi- bie exception, while starting higher, it finully wentoff on May to ‘0 below last night's close. The trade then seemed to be drifting more into July and the bad crop re- ports were liaving & good deal of influence, as while May was lower July was decidedly higher, A'telegram from Kunsas City gave the information that the stute agricultural department of Missour: put the conaition of the crop in that state att) per cent.a heavy decrease from the outlook in December last. St. Louls, however, reported thut upto 11 o'clock nothing had been heard of the report there “except in dispat:hes from Chicugo.

Pardridge meanwhile, far from showlng evidence of weakening, wus bustling about denouneing the seare as idiotic and had bis Lrokers seliing Incessantly. "The price did not appear to make any difference, und from his actions ‘one would think lo deemed that it did not seem to make much difference us nll spots seemed good sell- ing spots for lim. There was a good deal of realizing on long wheat, but these offerings with those by Pardridge were readily absorbed and there were few weuk spots. Cold weather was reported in the winter wheat country and this holped to give the market quite a lit- tle boon. ‘The bulk of the sales at the open- ing were at 85l The market went off to e on Pardridge's seiling, then up to s5e. held for 4 cons deruble time at Biic. then fiear noon shot up to§%e. But the demand then fell off und the brico went to 8i3e and at 12 o'clock was about 84%c agalnst Si%c at the close yesterduy. Aftér the noon hour the market began to weaken. The shorts seemed to bo well covered and the moment the buying cume to & hult the bears took fresh courage and bogan to sell.

Then someoperators became very bold, deciaring that the Dodge estimate on' wheat condition will Dbe &5 per cent to 85 per. cent or better. T was followed by such selling as caused many to belleve tthat some houses had inside in- formation from Washington. Atuny rate. the Dodge puzzle was too uncertain to hold wheat ugainst and general selling put the May price 0off to &27c bid, at the closo or 1izc under the close lust night on the rezular se: sion, which was 2¢ under the later curb price: 1t was reported that Georze Huynes, who traded in s small way, had fatied. he bears remarked that the bulis went gunning for Pardridge, and euught Haynes. A Pardridse broker retorted thut this was better than they usually did. as they have been gunning for Pardridge und cauznt the deuce, The corn market was not sympathizing to any great extent with the advince in wheat at the opening but was in full accord with 1t on the declt The highest price of the day wus only 's¢ above the closing price of the duy Le- fore, and its resting place today was utn de- cline of 1.

Union Pacific Officials Expecting the Annual Change In Management, The big ofice building at the foot of Far- nam street is filled with doubt ana expect- ancy, all because of the rumors of & change in the management of the Union Pacific. The annual meeting of the stockholders will be held April 27, and rival factions are ma- neuvering to secure control of the corpora- tion, Iuisthe field against Jay Gould. Wall street nas reported the wizzard to be closing out his holding of Union Pacific stock, from which it was inferred that he intended to relinquish the control of his own motion, but George Gould denies tho truth of that report. The Vanderpilts have been gatheving in stock during the past year, and a late rumor has it that they are back of A movement to secure control of the Union Pacific and oper- ate it in the interest of the Northwestern. The foreign stockholders are dissatisfied with the present management and are rea to0 give proxies to any purty that can ovel throw Gould. The Ames and the Drexel & Morgan interests aro saia to be united in the fight against Gould, and Frederick L. Ames of Boston is mentioned as their candidate for president. These conflicting rumors are agitating Omaha ofticials, because a change in mausge- ment will cause severa! gentlemen to lose their heads, which in turn will affect minor employes. It is mssumed in certain quarters that if Gould continues in control J. 5. Leeds will succeed C. S. Melien as general trafic man- ager, but that otherwiso the honors and emoluruents will fall to General Freizht Agent Munroe. On this point a prominent ofticial, who for years has been brought into intimate relations witn Geuneral Manager Clark, says: ‘It 1s a mistake to say that Mr. Leeds 13 a pet of Mr. Gould. When he was trafiic manager of the Missouri Pacific hs placed Mr. Gould in & very embarrassing position, and that gentieman has no furtber use for bim. Why, if he was a favorite of Mr. Gould, was he not providea with a place on one of the other Gould linest No, sir; it is known in Missouri Pacilic circles that be 1s nov in favor with Mr. Gould. The chances are that Mr. Munroc will bo made trafic and fraight manager, just as has been inumated in Tug Bee, and ihat the freight and passenger departments vill be divorced. Mr. Gould is not rewara- ing pets.” Mr. Leeds is acting as freight commis- sioner of the mercounts' and manufactarers’ bureau of San Francis=o, and is reported to be getting a salary of 20,000 or §25,000. Mr. Mellen's salary is said to have been §15,000. About the Bridge Toll “The newspapers and jobbers ought to lot up on their criticism of the Union Pacific for the failure to absorb tho bridge toll on shipments into lowa,” said an official of the freight department of that road. *‘The Union Pacific has nothing to do with these rates and the Iowa lines are alone to blame, Under their lease of the bridge the Rock Island and the Milwaukee have every right on the bridge rhat absolute ownership would give. They handle their own freight to ana from Omaba and make their own rates. They can add or absorb the bridge toli and the Unton Pacific bas notning to do with their action. he Burlington and the North- western have their own bridees at Platts- mouth and Blair and of course do as they please about the toll. The only lowa busi- ness handled by our road is what goes out overthe Wabash and that is very little, *“The Union Pacific bas been the friend -of Omaba 1n tbis matter and ought have credit for what it done. Years ago it reached an agreement with the Iowa lines to make Coun- cil Bluffs and Omaha common Missouri river points, The Lwo cities were 10 have the same rate on shipments either iu or out. After- ward the Iowa lines went back on that agree- ment 80 1ar as shipments from Omaba to iu- terior fowa points were concerned, and re- fused to absorb the bridge toll. The present situation is tbe result of that breach of faith, On shipments o Mississippi river points ard the east that old agreoment atill tolds good, and the bridge toll is absorbed by the lows lines. “*Here, to my mind, is a clear violation of the spinit of ihbe intérstate commerce act. For example, on a shipment from Omaha to Davenport the briage toll is absorbed. On shipments to oter Loints 1 lowa over the same line, in the same direction and under substautially the same conditions the bridge toll is added. It might pay the commercial association to investigate this phass of the question, which seems to have been over- looked. At any rate, the Unlon Pacific should not be continually ‘roasted’ for not abrogating & cbarge over which it nas no control.” —_— JUST BEFORE EASTER.
