The firss week of the year can aid to have developed any new pecially peculiar to itself in the field of trade, Trade started in the new year where it left off in the old and lias moved along steadily in the old well beaten path. The active holiday trade in the country tended to reduce retail stocks and in_ that way stim ulate the jobbing trade The Jobbers report that their traveling men on their first trip since the generally been favored with liberal orders Trade starts in the new pace, and if it keeps it up twelve months there complaint on the part of While it is utterly fmp what the condition of things be next summer and fall, it sonably safe to predict that there will be an active business from on until the new crop is in the ground. After that time trade will depend very lurgely upon the progress made by t growiig « If weather condit all favorable there need be no f let-up in the volume of busincss While the condition of trade in way is very satisfactory. the retail dealers of Omaha have also been doing faivly well The holiday trade was lurge, and it was only natural to unticipate a falling off after the elose of the holiday scason. ‘There has been adecreaso i the Yolume of business, but it has not unted to sucha falling off as frequently occurs after the arvival of the new v . The cold weather and the fact that the local business cditions have been gradually improving is_teuding to keep up the demand for goods®of sl kinds.

In all quarters there is evidence of renewed con fidence in the prosperity of the city. Men who were in doubt as to the future a few months 4120 now express themselves as con fident that Omaha is about to enter upon the most prosperous period in her history thus far. When business men have inbounded confidence in the future of trade there i ally nothing to fear. as the very factt y are confident will lead them to pi forward the diffcrent enterprises 1 s even if the conditions were not all that could be desired. holidays have year with a fapid during the whole cause for at lo to foretell will be n obhers sibile will is 1 now ns are of any a jobbing Country Produ The produce m have been in gu lias not heen the market oL the sume time Jight there has not been stocks, but on been well el ceipts being rkets during the past week uliar shape.

Last Weel an Exe Lines of 1y Good One In oenl Trade, W. H. Roberson, manager of the mercan- tilo agency of R. G. Dun & Co. of this city, n his review of local trade says: “Usually the week succeeding the fs & poor one for trade, The reaction dent on holiday activity is generally quite marked proves an to the gene ally have lidays ion I dealers gener- been surprised at the extent of their sales, and the wholesule houses report an average w time of the year in nearly every line ceptions are " liquor and lumber, liquor men find collections har sales o trifle disturbed on account of the strin- geney experienced by ail dealers incident to the annual license which is now payable, The severe weather has checked building operations and consequently the demand for lumber is correspondingly reduced. “Rumors continue to fly about relative to the establishment of afother large whole. sule dry goods house in the city, but so as can be learned no definite stops have be taken in this dircction. One of the best known dry goods wmen of the city recently associated with a large house. will shortly open a_ mnew store on Douglas stréet. As an offset to this one of the houses now on that street will go out of business. The tendeney appears very strong toward concentrating dealers in dry goods, faney goods and millinery in the neighbor: hood of Sixteenth und” Douglus streets. With this in mind one of the lurge down tow n millinery story is negotiating quarters in the vieinity named. “The demand wsters in this city never been equal to that of this scason und yeuthe oyster men ave far from happy.

On the other hand the sentiment is equally sirong against couverting the wstitution” intoa bucket shop. Betweeu these two extremes there is @ golden mean which the wmasjority of the an | for | members hope to see the board occupy. They are very much in earnest in their ef- forts to put new life and new purpose into the old organization and it is to the credit of the defeated faction to say that they are fully as much in favor of a more vigorous as their successors “Comparatively little interest is r fested in business circles in_ the opening of the legislature. The feeling is general that until the United States senator is elected very little practicat legislation can be ex- pected. Moantime the business interests of the city will be thinking out amendments existing laws which should commend them- selves to intelli legislators. The impo tance of amendments to our col lection laws already outlined in these weekly discussions is so apparent that it is appre hended very lictle difticulty will be experi enced in securing them In real estate circles the week has been marked by the transfer of large bodies of land on the north bottoms to representatives of the new terminal company which has thus given the people of the city another evidence that it means business “At South Omaha high priced hogs con- tinue 1o be the essential feature of the mar- ket.

The reason for the change is that the large eastern companies huve such a strong hold in this territory that a new concern can not get a foothold.” The Pacific coast is so far distant from these eastern factories that they can not ship yeast there, which is of a perishable nature.” Hence the field is open there to all comers. If the retail grocers and the bakers had so willed it this business might have becn a success in Omaha, instead of being driven out. With the growth of the city and the in- crease of the manufacturing intevests, the smoke nuisance, as it is called, becomes a serious question. Wilson & Drake, makers of boilers iu Omaha, are of thy opinlon that it is only & question of a little time when the smoke question will come up in this city and steps be taken to compel the users of boilers | 1o either put in smoke consumers or use u better grade of coal. Itis claimed that, a smoke comsuming arrangement can be put in more cheaply ab the s: time with the boiler than at some later date. For that reason they have made arrangements to put in smoke consumers where they are wanted. | orl COMMERCIAL AND' FINANCIAL — Yesterday Was Another Lively Day on the Ohicago Board of Trade.
