THE CONDITION OF IRADE Jobbers and Manufacturers Doing a Good Business. COUNTRY COLLECTIONS GENERALLY GOOD The Retall Trade of Omaha Contl Rather Quict-Some of the Causes for the Prevailing Conditions Noted, The trado conditions prevailing 1o Omaha at the present time supply a subjoct for fre- quent discussions among business mon. That the jobbing tradeof tho city should show a @ain over all previous years at a time when tho retail busicess of the city is slack may scem at first thought rather strange. The fact is, however, that the jobbers are obtain- 1ng their business from the country merchants of Nebraska und tho suerounding states, the sules to the local retailers boing compara- tively smail, Tho knowledge of this fact naturally sug- gests the question why should the retall trade be uctive in tho smaller cities of the stato and not in Omabat This is the phase of the situation which business mer aro dis- cussing and which thoy would like to seo changed. While there is naturally a difference of opinion, stili 1t is gonerally admitied that the conditions provailing In Omahi ars due rather to u variety or a combination of cuuses than to any ono leading cause, though they may all be traced Lo the same source. It may not bo out of place to look mors fully 10to this mattor. It muy be takon as a self evident faot that when the retail trade of any city is dull it is due to the lack of sufficiont population to BUVPOTL the number of retail establishments in existence or to a scarcity of money among. he people, ot to both causes combined. lo other words the retuil trace of Omaha 1s duil becpuse there are not enough mou at work in the city 1o make busiuess active for all the retail storos, No great number of men have been thrown out of emplovment at any ono time but the difforent brauches of buswess are so inti- mately connected and so dependent upon each other that the discharge of a few men in one place will oventually deprive a good many other men of work. The delay in public improvements has koot a ereat many luboringmen out of work and forced many to leave the city, or reduced them to a condition whero they have been un- fiblo to by more than the bare necessities of o, Eyery timo a family 1s forcea to move out of the city they leave behind them an emyty house. Kbty houses dopress rents, tha low- ering of ronis discourages building opera- tions. ‘The decrease in building deprives men employed in the building trades of work, and carpenters, masons, stone cutters, hodear- riers and others are Torced to look elsewhere for employment. This again leaves ‘more empty houses, still further depresses routs and discourages building. ‘ho cessation in buildiug depressos the Jumber business and the yards are forced to discharge a good many Of their emuloyes. teamsters, yardmen, office belp, otc., thus leaving still more empty houses or families reduced to straightoned civeumstunces for want of employment. T'he absence or idieness of all these peoplo makes business uuprofitable for the smaf retail stores in the outlying additions of the city and forces them out of business, thus Jeaving empty store rooms and stopping tho ercction of tuat class of buildings. ‘The decline in building operations also Xills the mill business. The time was when there were a large number of plaining milis runniog in Omaha and furnishing employ- ment to a small army of workmen. Many of these mills havo closed down and their employes are scattercd. Again the depression in rents making 1t unprofitable for men to buy and improve property for renting purposes sups tho life of the real estate business and depreciates all kinds of real vroperty. Real estate is low in Omaba, probably lower than it will ever be again, ut speculators will not tako hold of it 50 long as improved property cannot be rented to advantage, Here again may be observed the ¢ffect that depression in ono line has upon others, The quiet provailing in real estate circles discourages ren) estave agents and leads them to seek more inviting fields, Whao thero wers not enough houses in the city to supply tho demand aud a build- ing could be rented as soon as the founda- tions were luid, real estate was booming and several hundrea men found prontabio em- loyment in connection with the real estate usiness. Examples almost without number might bo brought up showing that the presont quiet prevailing i almost all brancnes of purety ocal business can be traced to the absenceof 8 suflicient number of working people to support locn! enterpriscs alrcady ostablished, £ this is the primo cause, and there cau be no mistake aboutit, tho remedy is to be found in the employment of more men fn the cty. 'The filling of the emnty housos vouid suffen rents, an advonce in rents, making the rental of roperty profitable, would cause a renewal of uilding operations und bring back the men conuceted with tho building trades. Thus there would be a movement all along the line and for every hunared men given employ ment at first auother bundret would find work in the differeut bravches of trade benefitted. 1t does not maiter 1n whatline the men aro employed 80 long as they receive good and siendy wages. Tho question with business men is how to furnish work for more men than are now omployed. A great many look to all manu- facturing industries for relief, aud argue that Omaba shouid encourago the location of factories. A few large factories or a greater number of small ones would be a help to the city and would place the retml trado on a good and permanent foundation. ‘The ques- tion Is how to get theso fuctorles started. The manufucturers themselves are in & posi- tion o bestanswersuch ayuestion,and as they aro personally interested in the development of the manufacturing resources of tho state they may be ablo to suggest some new plan that will simuiate enterprise in that direc- tion. It will take time, however, to increaso tho number of workmen in the factories and the commencement and rapid prosecution of public works bas been suzgested as the best means of affording a temporary relief. o conditions at present prevall- log 10 Omaha cannot always con- tnue and & chonge must come sooneror later. Itall thelocal interests would units with and act vigorously aod in har- mouy with the wanufacturers work could bo found in the factories for several hundred more wen than aro now emploved and tho retail trade could bo made as flourishing sy the jobbiug trade. AS DUN SEE T. Omaha's August Business Unusually Brisk ana Frofitabl R. G. Dun & Co., through W. H. Rober- son their Omeba manager, referring to local trado say: 'August is never a fairly representative month iu the wholesale of retail irade, be- cuuse it is between seasons snd locul dealers a3 well us many of their customers are 1a the babit of regarding it as a vacation month, However, tho month bas been exceptionally octive In most wholesale line: The vemund at sevorul houses -has been #0 great thut thoy have found it dificult to keep up with their orders. The fall trade bas set in eariy und there has been scarcely a lall siuce June 1. Collections bave fallen Off slightly the latter hulf of the mouth, and ity wholesalo trado bas bnen light. 1o somo liies 1t has been altogetber insiguiticunt, but the farmers have been steady buyers all summer und tho country trado bus cons quently been excellent, | 1008t anu of Nebraska seasonable ralus have fullen, and unless we have ve, early frosts the corn crop will bs much larger than the late plantiog foroshadowed f0 the spriug. ‘I'he fall wheat harvest was large in 1ho covnties south of the Platte, and though wheat was low fn price, the yield per nere was saficient to muko it profitable. As & result farmers in that section have bhad wore than the usual amount of read Hogs huve beou aigh. aud reacy sate. Ttits has helped to make timos easy ail over the state, aud with the flae outiook for corn Bhond Wo 860 nOLhiug L0 warrant &1y fear us 10 business lu genoral this fall ana winter, “Omaba retall trade s very quiot It was H - oxpocted that Augnst would ba dull, but prospoects are not very encouraging for early and marked improvement. The real estato market bus beon flat most of the month The dealers in necessities have enjoyed fair share of business, but 1o all other lines little has been done. ‘At the banks it 1s azreed that the demand has been lizht and money continues very easy. The deposits, taken as a whole, indi- ©oate no shrinkago, excopt that the balances of country bankers have been drawn upon rather more freely than for the precediag month, Our bankers all agree that no stringency is indicated, though more activity ia anticipated in September. Speaking of tho jobbing trade in detail 1t way be sald: Dry goods men have never known a botter season; grocers have bosn very busy: hats aud oaps better than a year 8g0 by 25 per cent; drugs in excellent de- mand both in and outof the city; shelf hard- ware all that could be desired; heavy hard- ware sales largely increased over last year; lumber quiet in the city, better in South Omaha and rushing in the interior; leal tovacco better than a year ago; millinery slightly in advance of last vear; painters: supplies, wlaes, oto. dull; saddlery and loather good; toas and coffees increased over August, 1501, in spite of an average of 30 per cent reductidn in prices; liquors dull. “The only failure of any consequence is that of L. G. Hetzel the grocer in Omaha. Claims against the defunct dealer will likely foot up closo to $25,000 with assets of per- haps §6,000 to 3,000 which may be increased if legal proceeding instituted to annul his sale of ono stock are sucoessful. Tho retail grocers of the city who most keenly suffored from the style of compatition inaugurated by this party are neithor surprised uor grieved At his collupse. His success in ranuing up heavs bills with wood houses is & marked illustration of the chedpness of credit and should furnish another landmark 1o guide jobbing houses alovg tho good, old- fashioned road where fair protits and honest dealing are tne best passports to morcantile succoss, “Paxton & Gallagher bave just concluded their second August shipment of teas im- ported by tiem diract from Japan and China, makinz a total of 2,040 half chests, waighing 205,100 pounds. Omaha’s impornce as un importing conter is not generally apprect- ated. It will therefore be a surprise to many readers to learn that it is estimated that Omaha will import and distribute 10,000 pack- ages of tea withic the twelve months expir- ing next July. “Tho commission men have had a fair month notwithstanaing the scarciuy of fruit, especially apples, Prices have ruled bigh and profits bave beeu fair. The oyster sea- son 18 now about to open and the four houses in the city promise to push the bivalve trade forall it is worth, with some prospect of sharp competition. “At South Omaha the month nas been wanting in sensational features. The re- ceipts of stock have been fairly satisfactory and prices un best catule fair, on hogs good and on shep about ull that ocould be reason- ably expected. The paokers have been so busy with their building enterprises thay nono have worked to their full capacity and some have not bought more thin half the number ordinarily handled. Nevoertheless the week’s packing as reported by the Cin- cinnati Prics Currout shows that Omahn has held her own with Chicago and Kansas City in the percentage of growih as compared with ono year azo, notwithstanding tho unusual domand for hogs for eastern mavkets. Tho receipts at the yards from January 1 to Friday night Iust, show a gamn of 7 cattle; 164476 hog#; 16,133 sheep and of 4,430 horses oyor tha corresponding poriod of 1801. This is regarded as a most satisfactory showing, and gives great encouragement to the expect- on of the stock vurds people that Omaha will tuke second place as a ocattle market within a comparatively short period.” CBRASKA FACTORY NOTES. What the Manufacturers Are Saylng and Doing. There Is said to be & growing tendency among manufacturers to sell to the retail trado direct instead of through jobbing houses. A great many of the largest and most successful Omaha manufacruring firms have their own men on tho road to drum the retuil trade. There is only one way that local jobbers can discourage this method of dong business, and that is by handling tho goods mude by the cily factories in quanti- ties large enough to make it som3 object for the manufacturers to keep their mon off from the road. The O naha basket factory raports that the grape crop in this section will be large and that the demand for their baskots is active. Five or six cars of excelsior are used in Omaha per week. The Omaha basket fac- tory 1s looking into the matior and if it wiil ay they will put 1n the wachinery necossary or its manufacture. Frank Kaspar, manager of the Western Button Manufacturing company reports the pearl button business uctive in Omuba, He is putting in six new and improved button machines which give promise of good results. The pearl button business 1s steadily grow- ing in Omabs. Mr. Cole of the Consolidated Coffee com- any savs that their business bas increased 45 per cent since the home patroaage move- ment was inaugurated. J. Sarierman, mavufacturer of mirror: Omaha, has filed a certiticate of co-partn ship under the name of the Mirror Manufuc- tory. Omaha being the center of distribution for a large scction of the west it would svem as if this was a most advantageous point for a manufacturer to locate. It is reasonable to believe that in the near future numerous fin- dustries will be started bere that now have a home in the eust, aud that they will prove eminently successful. The mauufacturers of Nebraska and their omployes have one common object of interest which should always be kept iu view. The manufacturers are interested in increasing the demand for home made goods because it eives them an opportunity to incroas their business. Tne laboring man anxious, to.se0 a good demand for goods of homo manufacture because it keeps the factories running full force and insures bim steady employment. The workingmen of the city and state are in & position to help themselves in a most effective maumer. By always purchasing goods of home manufac- ture they wiil be lncreasing the demand for those goods and hoip both themselves and their employer: ‘Mhe Omaba Carpet and Rug factory is a comparatively new factory for Omaba. They weave rugs from old 1ngrain or Brussels car pets which are cut up into narrow strips and the edges fringed. They also weave old fasnioned rag carpats to order. On September 7 of lust vear Tie Ber re- viewed the condition of the furniture ana mattress factories in Omaha, It was shown at that time that Murphy, Wasey & Co., the Omaha Muttress company, the Omaba Up- holstering company, Billow & Doup, and 1, M. Hulse compiny were cmploying 188 people. At the prasent time those same tirms have in their employ 237 people, being @ gain of thirty-nine. The fall season has hardly opened, and if the comparison was to be made a mouth later, or at the same timo as last year, whe showing would undoubtedly be much better, Mr. Murphy of Murphy, Wasey & Co., is sponding fow days at the firm's eastern faotory in Dotroit. “The Omuba Matress company is turning out a full line of bed comforts, twenty-two styles, Tbe company is putting in eléctric power and also o machine for picking cotton or wool, which will save great deal of hand work, They report 8 good local trade. Billow & Doup say that the demand for thelr mattresses, etc., has been very lively in Wyoming, Utah Territorv and ldabo. The Omaba Upholstering company s get- ting reaay to put their new fall stylés oo the markoL. There has been & great cbange in the kind of furniture in demand in the west, even within the past two years. Tuere is a call for a 1uch better class of furniture and this demand 1s fncreasiog all the time. ‘he Sewurd corncob pipe factory bas put 10 wn apolication for membership in tho Manufuciurers association, With the opening of fall business the Man- ufacturers associacion proposes Lo inaugurate an active campuign lo favor of bome made goods. The whole alm aund object of the assoclation is to induce Nebraskans to pur- chase Nebraska made goods in preference to others aud thus develop the manufacturiug iudustries. It has been suggested tnat the assoclation might accomplish a good deal by employiug o first-class wan to call upou the oy g o B upon merchaots the advantages of carrylog bome wade goods 1n stock. Such & man would be provided with a list of the goods made by the members of the association, 1f bhe called at a .‘mry store be would learn whut kinds ~wap, flour, starch, oto., THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, -’AJ(}L’S’I' 23, 1892 wore carriod in stock. [If e learned for ex- ample that the grocer was not handling Ne- braska starch he wonld inquire as to the reason and urgs him to do &0, and he would then notify the two starch factories that aro members of the association of the result of his interviow. The starch factories could then solicit an order in the usual way. ‘Ihe representitive of the association would not attemnt to take orders, but only urge upon the trade that they handle home made goods, Ioaving the dealer to buy from the manu: facturers who would give him the best terms on the most satisfactory goods. This plan of opsrating has been pronounced prac. tical by a number of manufacturers, and if elaborated and worked ovt in all its details and then closely followed, it might be pro- ductive of a great deal of good. Its success would aepend @ good ceal upon the man who might be selected to carry it out. | W. H. Worswick has on exhibit in the basement of 704 South Sixteenth street an incubator manufactured in Omaha. Itis in actual operation and the chickens are being hatched out every day. Tho whole arrange ment is very simple and is wellworth the trouble of a visit. Briefly described thoe in- cubtor consists of a long box supported at & slight angle and a little mgher from the floor than a table. The air 1n the incubator 1s maintained at an even lom[wrmuro by means of water heated by a small gas stove. The aggs are placed in trays thataro long enough to reach the width of the incubator and wide enough 10 take in an egg the narrow way. Each tray contains three dozen ezgs. Sach day the trays are pushed toward the lower end of the incubator a sufficient dis- tance to make room for another tray. Tho lenzth of the inoubator is so graduated that o tray will reach the bottom of tha incu- bator in twentg-one days, the time required for hatching out ~ chickens, As the chickens come from the incubator they are placed 1n compartments or cages made of wire netting, were thoy apvear s lively and strong as chickens ched out in the ordin- ary way. Mr. Worswick already has severs dozen and says that he will keep them until they are larze enongh for broilers. He claims that by his method broilers can be grown in eight woeks at a cost of $1.00 per dozen, which at the market price would make a vary handsomo profit for the grower. Mr. Worswick has planned to keep his fncu- bator in operation all the time for the pur- pose of tezching those who may wish to pur- chase one and go into the business how to operate it successfully. The growing of broilers for the city mirkets has boon quite vrofituble in the eastern cities and might be made so here. There is one town in New Jersey which has boon ouilt up almost en- tively by this industry, the broilers boing soid in New York, Brooklyn and neighbor- ing cities.
