ONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE he Weather CJontinues a Disturbing Factor in Business, HE JOBBING TRADE SHOWS LITTLE CHANGE usiness In Omaha Moves Along Quietly With, Doveloping Any Very Inters esting Features -Sunshine Wanted Here and Kain in the We: The jobbing trade of Omaha has failed to evelop any very interesting features during he past week. The situation is very much the same as was detailed o week ago. The jobbers are all doing a fair business for the season, and do not indulge in any fault-find ing, though they would like to have the weather conditions a little diffcrent. In some parts of the state there is a de- mand for rain, and the retail merchants J inclined to move a little slow until the un certainty concerning the coming crop is re moved. This keeps down the volume of business with the jobbers and makes tradea little slow in some localities. It is still early in the season, and jobbers are not worrying because it does not happen to rain localiti for it. I Omaha there has been too * cold weather and local business enter prises of all kinds have suffered more or less, It is noted tnat on pleasant days the local retail trade is pretty good, which leads the retailers to anticipate a good demand for spring und summer goods 48 soon as there is weather that will encourage buyers to be out on the strect, A week ago attention was called to the compiled reports of the last statements of the natioual banks showing a comparison between the national banks of Omaha those of the state outside of Omaha State Bauking board has now mad port of the state banks and it is possibie to show the figures for the state banks in com- parison with the national 1ks of the state.

H. Rob- erson, manager of the Omaha branch of R. G. Dun & Co.'s mercantile agency. “It was 80 overwhelming in its consequences and so large in the aggregate sums involved that business people have talked of little else. Omaha people can congratulate themselves for two fucts suggested by the failures at the up-river city. First, of course, that no such disaster has occurred here, and second that no such a one ean in the ordinary course of the city’s history occur here, “Laying aside the advantages of situation and resources which this city possesses and which might prevent a wreck like that in Swoux City, the capital of Omaha is not con pntrated in the hands of three or four indi viduals. The utter destruction of our heavi- est financial institution could not carry with 3% the relative disaster which followed the collapse of Hedges and his associates. The financ men of Omaha are not all in- terested in the same investments, and one heavy corporation might go to the wall without affecting business in general Omaha’s record in this particuls phenom enal. Even in the early days of her history her financial concerns and heavy mercantile houses were independent of each other to u remarkable extent. rade has not been ui to the average enerally this week though in groceries and hardware dealers say orders are ve heavy. Collections are a little off all along the line. In most of the wholesale houses trade is reported fair ouly, Among retail dealers trade is quiet, even forced sales and heavy advertising bills fail to attract. The weather is inst the retail dealers al- most every line *“I'he Manufacturers and Consumer: clation is Just now receiving de: tion from the business public. N tion in Omaha has done more to stimulate local patriotism and home this. One heavy manufacturer says business has increased 75 per cont, la & resuit of the active home campaigns couducted by tion. The exposition, 0 be a complete sucee ' t to hea however, that two or three local institutions which have been benefited by the move- ment are too busy to make exhibits. This is short-sighted in my judgment.s Nothing can do more for Omaha und Nebraska than n first-class exhibit of her home products and her home factory machiner) “The wrangle over the leasing of the top floor of the Board of Trade to the Com- wercial club should have been avoided by all means, The Board of Trade needs the Commercial club worse than the club needs the Board of I'rade, as some of the dissatis- fied spirits of the former organization arc quite likely to discover.” in his 1y as industry promises FACTORY FACTS, Notes Concerniug the Me Wheels Go Rou Three weeks from tomorrow the manufac- turers exposition will open in the Coliseum Building in Omaha. During the past week great progress has veen made in the matter of perfecting the plans for the exposition, aud about ull that now remains to be done is 10 place the machinery and arrange the in dividual exbibits. About three-fourths of the space has been contracted for and o m share of the remaining one-fourth h spoken for, though no contract has been Who Make the | industries than | THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SUNDAY, 'APRIL 30, 1893-TWENTY PAGES. slgned. There is no danger but what the space will all be oceupled and a most inter- esting exhibit of Nebraska industries made, ‘The manufacturers are taking even more in terest in the move than last year and are preparing to put in a good deal of machinery and carry on the actual work of manufacture, Some of these live exhibits, as they call those in which the actual work of manufac- ture is carrlied on, will be highly interesting and instructive to the public. The manufacturers are striving to show the people of the state that there has been progress during the past vear, and that the factories have grown in size and have im- vroved their methods, thus keeping abreast of the times, For this reason they are try- ing to make an exhibit that will be different from, and an improvement over, the one given last year. While the majority of the manufacturers are taking hold and doing ali they can to make the exposition a success there are some who hold back and plead rush of business as an excuse for doing noth- ing. At the same time these manufacturers are busy because of the home patronage movement, and it is poor encouragement for those who have worked up this movement to have the firms that have been benefited re- fuse to do anything to keep the movement going. In the Jong run the tirms that do not take up their share of the work will be the losers, as the people will forget the firms that do not suow themselves at the ann exposition, T ttendance of country merchants will be | § they will become acquainted firms that make exhibits, while those that are not represented will be lost sight of, Besides, every buyer wishes to do business with the most enterprising firm in each line of business, and the supposition is that the firm that goes to the trouble of malking an attractive and interesting exhibit of its goods and method of manufacture must be enterprising. The first new gr the came in on Friday James A. Clark spent a few days in Sioux City the past week While potatoes are growing weaker here they are said to be firming up at the points of Supy Veal calves have been coming in more freely during the past few daysand the mar. ket is rather weak About a car of strawberrics was received and sold in this city, which was a pretty good record for a cold day Irvine Mitchell of the Vinton, Ta., duce company stopped off in Omiha on h way home from Sioux City Local fruit houses are in receipt of a good many very besceching letters from Califor- nia asking them to buy oranges, T'he cabbage growers around New Orleans struck because the commission men and shippers wanted the vegetables trimmed closer and sold by weieht. Advices from Georgia state that the melon crop is in excellent condition, and that un less some unfor on calamity should occur the crop will be both carly and large. J. C. Farr of the Chicago Produce pany at Yankton was in the city the other day and reported that they are getting good country roll butter there at 1§ cents Williams & Cross arepromised a consiza- ment of jessamine buds fron Texas. Branch & Co. did the jessamine business last year, but found it too wearing on the nerves. 4. R. Kimball, manager of the Creamery Package company of Kansas City. was in the city and renorted that there are quite heavy shipments of new butter being made from southern Kansas to eastern markets, The Kirschbraun-Haskell Produce pany have opened a branch at Lincomn under the management of Heury Te who formerly represented the Fremont Butter and Eirg company on the line of the Elkhorn railroad S. M. Harris has returned from a trip to Texas and is greatly pleased with the coun try. Crops of all kinds are good. He visited the great pear farm of H. M. Stringfellow at Hitcheock, about ten miles from Galveston, where there are 12,000 pear trees now loaded with fruit. local fruit very enthusia 83 butter of season com- com- man ohserves that no one is stic over the profits made in apples the past season. Last fall apples were said to bev scarce, and as usual when there is a scarcity of anything the op portunities for losing money appear to have been unusually gooa. The importations of bananas during the month of March were very large, with the striking feature that w Orleans received more bananas than all the other ports of the country put together, The figures are as New Orleans, 480,816 bunches . 284,284 bunches; Philadelphia, bunches; Boston, 07,148 bunches; Baltimore, 03,400 bunches: total, 1,142,205 bunches. R. Purvis received a shipment of butter yes- terday that was quite a curiosity. The butter was put up in prints and had the appearance of being something extra good. When the rolls were cut open it was found that the butter only extended in for about half an inch, while the center of the rolls consisted of some unknown white substance. Decep- tion of this kind s been reported in the east, but this is the first instunce reported in this city The scarcity of butter and the consequent high prices are giving the olco men a good op- portunity to get n their work, und they do not appear to be at all backward about taking advantage of the sit ion. With butter as scarce as it is one would expect to see an active demand, but the fact that there is nothing of the kind shows very plainly that the peopie are not consuming the genuine article, Davenport, la., strawberry growers are not altogether happy, according to one of them who has been prominent as a producer of the best berries in the market for several years The dry weather of last fall killed the youngr plants that were being rooted to make a new bed for this year. In other places the snow of the past winter drifted Off the old beds and left them unprotected, and damage was done there. Some old beds and some new ones look well and promise to fruit well, but a great big bounteous crop, enough to feed all Chicago and Davenport besides, is not expected this summer. he amount of fruit grown in Georga is pidly increasing, and should it continue to increase in the same proportion as of late it will not be long before Georgia will be among the largest, if not the largest, peach state in the union. Fort Valley, Ga., is one of the largest shipping points m the state. The bulk of the crop will be shipped to New York, Philadelphin and New England points, and some fruit will be evaporated, but compara- y little, as the southern growers cannot to compete with the California ted fruits, and most of the evap- orators will probably remuin closed. iR AR . TOOK THE WAR PATH. Waterloo Demaocrats €1 Postmaster Ix n Republcan. The old time Jacksonian democrats of the little suburban city of Watcrioo ave all torn up, while many of them have painted their faces black to indicate that their hearts are bad. Notonly have they done this, but they have unsheatbed their scalping knives and have declared that one man must come down from his high position. or else the face of the pale moon will be streaked with gore. This trouble has all brought about by the aj Denton as postmaster of 1 that Thelr New been wintment of J. L., burg Not long ) there was a good staunch re publican hanaling the that reached tne town. Shostly after Grover Cleveland moved into the presidential chair, the Waterloo democents commenced to cry out for a change, arguing that they should have a postmaster of their own political faith here were any number of men who were spoiling for an opportunity to cancel the great Colombinn stam and answer calls at the delivery window, but there was a slight row on hand, and while it was brew ing Deuton slipped in aud_ picked off the plums. He was duly commissioned before the followers of democracy knew that he was in the tield, ana as soon as that commis- sion was in his position he took full posses sion of the equipment of the oftice. This act opened the eyes of th and they commenced 1o usk cach other what had hapvened. The wisest man of the town could not tell, for all he kunew was that Den- ton W there. Now indignation meetings are being held, while the workers have for- mulated a petition which they have for- warded to the powersthat be, residing, set- ing up the statement that Denton is a re. publican, always has been and always will be one. They not only charge this, but they claim that he wus one of the workers last full, going so far as to be a member of the convention which uowinated Dave Mercer for cougress, mail sacks democrats, COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Narrow Flucteations in Grain Was the Reocord on 'Ghange Yesterday, PORK FEVER SEEMED QUITE ABATED Lower Figures from fogs Helped te End the Flurry Firmer Feeling ¥ valled in Wheat Toward the Close, Cneaao, 11, April 20.~Narrow fluctuations in grain, with scant business and prices tend- tng downward as a result of ralns in Kansas, was the record on ‘change today.
