CONDITION OF OMAR'S TRADE, | Omalia Jobbers Doing a Good Deal of Busi- ness and Very Little Com»laining. LAST WEEK IN THE PRODUCE MARKETS Prevailing Conditions in the Conntry Quite st tory (o Business Men -Collegtions Good for This Season of the Ye Bank Clearings, Regardless of January thaws and Arctic blizzards she jobbing trade of Omaha goes steadily on as if it had got such a good start that it could not stop. A year ago jobbers were congratulating themselves on the ex- cellent character of the trade that was com- ing to Omaha and were telling great storie of the gain in the volume of business as com- pared with the previous season, sto large that it was hard to believe them, although there was plenty of evidence of thefr trithfulness. This year business is not only holding up to the high standard of business activity established last but in many cases is exceeding it by u very handsonie gain In spite of the almost weather, which tonds to keep people indoors and to some extent hinder the volume of business has shov the past week. The demand for almost everything that isseasonable and Just at present, at least, it is hardly possible to discover any signs of a very speedly let-up in business. * 1t would appear that indica tions promise a fairly active trade for some time to come nditions in the country are quite satis 1 collections are holding up well son of the year. The best country most without exception meeting tions promptly. According to the re ports of country merchants who have been in the eity during the past week there is good retail business being done in the coun try. When the weatheris such that the farmers can come into town there is no huse for complaint about the country re tail trade. Prices on most kinds of country produce have been so high that those farmers who had anything to sell, and could ot to “market with it, have been quite “Hlush? as the saying is. The local retail trade is generally reported as fair and about as good as could be ex- pected under the present conditions, aud at this time of the year. Everything would seem to indicate that building and other en terprises will open up early in the spring. and thus make plenty of work for laboring men. With the different manufacturing in- dustries of th prospering and. steadily increasing thewr working forces, Omaha ought to be a good point for labor. This will tend to keep trade moving in a retail way in the city One by one those business mien who have been talking a little discouragingly during the past two years as to the outlook for Omaha, change their opinions and express greater confidence in the city than ever before. Reviewing Country So much has been eaid during the past week regarding the condition of the market on country produce that very little can be added. As has been noted from day to day, the most interesting feature in the markc has been the rapid iges in the price for eggs. The high s and the warm spell brought in eges too fast and the market broke badly. Then came the present cold ap with the attendant falling off in the receipts and the downward tendency of the market w stopped and prices sent in the opposite divection, The recovecy has not been as rapid as the decline. At the close of the previous week the market was quoted at 25c. but they dropped rapidly until 18¢ was touched. Other lines of pr duce have not shown such important changes and while there have been fluctuations the range has been narrow. Chickens have weakened during the weelk and_are not sell- ing very freely. The gencral market has not been very active and still there has been no surplus of receifits. About everything received has been cleaned up on the day of arrival. Warmer weather would probably tend to liven up the market as it would start {ruits and vegetables to moving more frecly and tend to put more life into the produce trade. fes 50 senson continuous cold trade minution isa steady 1o during roduce. Omnha Bank Cleariy Owing to the fact t there has been a let up in the real estate transfers connected with the East Omaha enterprises the clear- ings of Omahu's banks do not make quite such a large showing as they did during the two weeks previous. At the same time the decrease has not been heavy, amonnting, as will be noted below, to only about a half mil- lion one week aud a quarter of a million for the other weck. The present very satisfactory showing made by the clearings of this city must be ascribed as being due almost entirely to the prosperity of business. A year ago business n a jobbing way at least was very good, but other local business enterprises were not quite so prosperous, At the present time business men, almost without exception, are reporting a gain in the volume of trade over the same time a year ago. The clearings, which show an increase as compared with o year ago of over 50 per cent, would seem to bear out their claim, ‘The following will show the clearings for each day of the week under review and the total as compared with previous weeks : onday. uesdiiy. .

H. Roberson, manager of the Omaha office of R. (. Dun & “Co., in his weekly re- view of local trade, says “January is deawing toa close with Omaha Jobbers all pleased with the results of the new year thus far, and with the prospect With scarcely an exception they have had trade than a year ago, and a year ago s well pleased etail trade is better than merchants had son to anticipate, though not specially rushing. The craze of people for goods s keeping up special rates of on and another, and forced trade is ve “In real estate circles there is some inte: est, though sales are few and far between or grilt-cdired residence property are frequent, and the man who wants to take in & tract that somebody else is forced 1L is often seen among the agents. Two or three good deals have been started during the week, but nothing important was cldsed good t Liucoln the great event of the week | was the collapse of the Capital National bank. The failure is very unpromising at this time, though speculators seem willing to buy in claims a_discount. It is to the credit of the Capital City and shows & very healthy condition of affairs that no mercantile firms have gone down with the ruin of the large financial institution. The failure of the State bank at Wahoo caused very little surprise and following so soon upon the Lincoln disaster made scarcely u ripple of excitement outside of Wahoo *Among Omaha banks business continues quiet. The heavy demand for money usual at this time of the year is not experienced and most of the banks would cheerfully ac cept good loans at' very moderate rates, “Theextremely cold weather has had o stimulating effect upon business in general but it has its drawbacks as well. One job: bing house represeuted in this city had a carload of pickles, estimated worth about $3,000, frozen ou the railroad recently About the most sensational occurrence in bustness circles this week has been the dis covery of £,500 worth of goods in the base thent of u business house, supposed to have been placed there by a firm which fadled in December for a large amount and reported yery meager ussets. The discovery has again revived the sentiment among Jobbers in favor of testing the efficacy of & eriminal prosecution us a preventive for dis- hounest failures. Iu this connection local Wholesale firm states that there is sufticient | this THE OMAHA DAILY BEE evi fn i inst a cortain retall grocer who ed within two years in a most uncon fonable style to send him strajght to the penitentiary, and there is some talk of forc ing this individual to take a little wenal - medicine, The diffeulty always mtered in bringing dishonest mer chants to Justice is the disposition sufferers manifest to compromise their ac counts for o small percentage rather than incur any expense for eriminal prosecution. In view of this it is suggested that a common fund should ve raised and placed in the | hands of a representative board of wholesale dealers with instructions to make it for any individual or _firm guilty of fraud. A small contribution annually from each of the jobbing houses of the city would provide a sufficient sum to prosecute thieves attempt ing tosteal under form of law in a great many instances, and would make some men hesitate to put their noses into the halter who now fail to pay their debts as a matter of business “There is good rcason to believe that the senatorial contest will end the present week, id the legislature can then drop politics nd attend to business. It is hoped that some essential amendments to our collection ws will be enacted during the session ndor compels the admission, however, that present prospects for a reform _in this direction are not especially encouraging. | “Considerable criticism is heard among business men of the methods of insurance adjusters who have made settlement of some recent losses. It is not thought to be any part of the duty of an insurance ad juster to circulate damaging reports con th business integrity and financial standing of merchants who have the misfortune to suffer from fire, Nevertheless, in two fires which have oceurred in Omaha information NS been given out by insurance people which appears on its face to be malicious. Ad justers who are permitted by reason of their position to examine into the books and privite affairs of business flems should con sider the information thus obtained as abso lutely confidential and should not drop even a hinit or an insinuation which could reflect upon the standing of a business man, uuless shere is suficient reason to suspect them to warrant insurance companies in standing suit before paying losses.” cerning FACTORY FACUTS, ng the Wheels ¢ The Peycke Candy company is closing out its stock preparatc oving to Chicago, The Lincoln Packing ard Provision com pany Proposes to increase the capacity ot its plant the coming season Kendall & Smith of Li the size of their flour will give it a cap: Notes Co Men Who ) Round. oln are increasir mill at Woodlawn and ity of 200 barrels per day The W.

I'he advance in tallow has adaed £1.00 per box to the cost of producing a box of soap, while the market on soap has been advancec only about 5 cents per box on an average, It is probable that soap will go higher before many days Mercer, Whitmore & Co. have thirty-cight people at work in their Omaha factory, and as they ave only nicely started they expect to employ as many more when they get to ing full force, which they calculate will be in the course of the next thirty days The Purity Egract company of Lincoln has amended itsArticles of incorporation and increased the capital stock in order to be in a position to take care of a constantly grow. ing business. It has added to its line of specialities a high grade of cream of tartar baking powder, tooth powder, etc Dr. VWhitmore says that the most effective way of reaching a merchant is to reach him through his customers. In other words, the manufacturers must create a demand fop their goods among consumers und then the retail dealers will all be anxious to carry the goods that are made in their own state, Last year when the manufacturers were anging for their exposition the chief difi- culty was to find enough manufacturers who would make exhibits that would fill the build- ing. This year they are likely to have trouble in finding a building thht will be large enough to hold the exhibits of those who wilf want to take part in the exposition Every one wants more space this year so a: to be able to make finer showing of his goods and it is a question just how they can all beaccommodated., Mr. Gedney of the Gedney Pickle company ays that they must have more pickle ma. terial or move to some place where they c get it. He wants the farmers to raise cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, cauliflowers, ete., and promises to buy all that they will raise at prices that will make the growers more money than they can get out of any other crop. The farmers have been so aceu tomed to raise certain staple farm crops that it is hard work to get them to change over to any otheralthough there may be more money init. Last year Mr. Giedney was forced to import caulifiower, small onions and other vegetables for pickling from Holland in order to keep the factory running. Yester- he met a number of farmers out a ‘eutonia park to show them the advantages of raising pickles. The Lincoln manufacturers are thinking of holding a winter carnival next month for the i e of arousing interest in home in- among the people of Liucoln. There ociation of ladies there, having a ®e membership, and that has been ssful in holding entertainments of different kinds, and they will probably take the lead in the maiter. Mr. Stewart, vice president of the Manufacturers and Consumer Association of Nebraska, is very much interested in the move, and in company with the secretary of the associ- ation, called upon a number of the manufac- turers lust week regarding the proposed c. uival. The scheme appears to be generally favored by the Lincoln manufacturers, and if it is finally decided to carry it out Mr, Holmes will spend considerable time in Lin coln helping it along. e Pueumonia, At no time in the history of the countr: has pneumonia been so prevalent as durini the winter months of the last two years, In times past a common cold was not considered at all serious, but of late years the great ten dency of colds to result “in pneumonia has made people apprehensive. The trouble is | that colds are not always properly treated. | 0 preparation containing opium, wild cy or chloroform should be used, as they i tendency to dry up a cold, whereas it should be loosened and the lungs velieved It has been observed that when Chamber- lain’s Cough Remedy is used the cold never results in pneumonia. The reason is that remedy stimulates the mucous me brane which lines the throat and lungs to a healthy action, causes a free expectoration, throwing off the poisonous matter, and coun ny tendency toward pneumonia For sale by druggists - REALTY THE MARKET.

In a Wichita court the defendant at the bar behaved in a manner unseemly, and quite regardless of the dignity hedging the beneh. The judge doffed the ermine, spat into his calloused palm and licked the offender. Then he resumed the dealing out of a first quality of justice. New York proposes to malk hall the biggest and most in town. If New York wants to have some- thing _absolutely unique in the way of a municipal building let her proceed to build 1t within the original appropriation, That would make it the wonder of the country, ‘0ld Point Comfort” is not such a comfort afterall. The papers say: “Hundreds of vessels are blocked in by the ice in Hampton In the meantime says another “They have been plowing for some around Great Ialls, Mont.” The north pole scems to have got ona bad twist. Anson county, North Carolina, has a queer lot of officials.” The treasurer is badly erip- pled, the coroner has but one arm, the reg ter of deeds is onelegped, as are two com- missioners ; the keeper of the county home is minus one arm and the constable bears the distinction of being the fattest man in thav position in the state. Recent history is full of curious contrasts in the rewards won in the greatteld of human endeavor. Hor Smith, who in- vented the Smith & Wesson revolving fire- arms, died, leaving an estate valued at 000,000, Orange Juad, who did more per- hups than any other man to teach the American farmer how to make agriculture profitable, left a personal estate valued at $150. Once in a while the “punishment fits the ime,” as was the casc with an agent for o sale of albums convicted, says the Phila- delphia Ledger, of assuult on a young mar- ried woman. The agent forced himself into her house, and, becoming familiar, attewmpted to kiss her. Whe he returned o few days afterwards he was thrashed by the husband, kicked out of doors and then. arrested, He was sent to jail for twelve wonths. Either the imprisonment without the tnrashing or the thrashing without the imprisonment would have been imperfect; the two come bined make about the right thing eee——ee You dou't want @ Lorpid ver; you don't want a bad complexion, you don't’ want a bad breath; you don't ‘want a headache. ien use De Witt's Little Early Risers, the amous little pills, v hier new eity nt structure
