CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Jobbers Report Only a Fair Movement of Goods, OMAHA'S CLEARINGS SHOW AN INCREASE Finanelal Disturbances Appear to fave Had No Very Marked Effect Upon Business In Nebraska—Jobbers and Re- tallers Very Conservative. The jobbing trade of Omaha is fair for this season of the year and that is about all that can be said in its favor. There is no rush nor is it up to what it was earlier in the season. At the same time there ap- pears to be no serious cause for complaint. The jobbers are following a conservative plan and are not trying to force trade, but a good many of them appear to be content to sccept a moderate amount of business and wait for the situation to improve. Some aro anticipating & rather quiet trade all summor and are not expecting any great ac- tivity in commercial circles before e in the fall when the conaition of trade will be dependent upon the outcome of the crops. 1n the westorn portion of the state there appears to be some apprehension regarding the corn crop and for that reason a very con- servative foeling has been engendered among the rotail trado of those scctions. Itisa conservatism based on good business prinei- ples and jobbers do not care to break it down and take the chances of paying for their anxicty to sell goods later on. In the eastern sections of the state there 18 no denying the fact that_the financial dis- turbances have had much to do with the moderate trade experienced by the jobbers. Consumers are not buying any more freely than they are compelled to and the country merchant does not feel like loading up his shelves with goods that he may have to carry for some time before finding consumers for them. Tle very fact that the merchants of the state are following n conservative policy is a very good indication that business will cor- tinuo fair in spite of any complications that might arise. ho bank clearings of Omaha show an in- erease over the corresponding time last year, the gain for the past week amounting to 13 per cent. The clearings for the past week averaged over §1,000.000 per day. Business men generally ure commenting upon the fact that the financial scare of the past week had 80 little effect upon business. Quite a num- ber of firms had funds tied up in the bank failure, but not to a suflicient extent to eripple them or to have any very noticeablo effect upon business, Some of the jobbers report that local collections have been de- layed to some extent, but that is about all The Kansas City Star obscrves that tho eonditions which made it possible for Omaha to successfully meet the ordeal through which it has passed are not peculiar to that city. They oxist in most of vhe western cities, and notably in those towns which are located in the transmississippi section. There is a certain degree of conservatism about towns which depend mainly upon ag- riculture for their support which is not found in manufacturing centers. In Omaha the bulk of the wealth is_realized from the products of the soil and the chief reliance of commerce is the grain and_live stock which come in from the surrounding territory. These sources of revenue have been exceed- ingly abundant for several years past in the Missouri valley and have contributed to tho solidity of the towns which handlo these products. The same influences which have fortificd Omaha against financial depression and panic are active in Kansas City, and in other western towns which have a magnifi- cent agricultural domain to araw upon. There is no reason to fear that these sup- lies will fail during the present season. 'he wheat harvest will not neariy approxi- Jmate tho phenomenal yield of last year, but it will prove very far short of a failure. The general crop prospects_are good, and an increase of other products is likely vo make up for the shortage in wheat. Corn prom- 1ses unusually well and pasturage is abun- dant, and that means plenty of cattle and hogs. AS DUN SEES IT. Result of the Bank Suspension and Subse- quent Run—HBusiness. The Omaha manager of R. G. Dun & Co., speaking of the commercial stituation in Omaha during the past week, say: “For the first time in this city's history a _ national bank and & savings bank both suspended within twenty-four hours. We had all hoped that Omaha would vull through these trying times without any such misfortune. A week ago, although it was known in commercial circles that the McCague Savings bank was suffer- 1ng considerable loss of deposits, it was still hoped that institution would be able to pull through. 1 think under ordinary circum- stances there is no doubt but that arrange- ments could have been made by the di- rectors to save themselves, bub just 1ow it is very havd to realize money upon real estatoe socurities. It is too early yet to fore- cast the probable outcome of these two sus- pensions. All that we can do is to hope that timo, skill and the admitted honesty of the people connected with these two in- stitutions will enable them to get out of their difieulty without loss to depositors. “Tho suspension of the McCague followed immediately by that of the American Na- tional bank, precipitatea a run on Tuesday ana Wednesday on all the Savings banks in the city. This was anticipated, and while there was considerable excitement on Tuesday by noon of Wednesday it all diod away and the commercial world settled down 1o its usual daily routine. The Omaha Savings, the Omaha Loan and Trust Company Savings aud the German Savings banks ail paid their depositors on demand and it is safe to say, stand stronger today by reason of this fact. «The other savings institutions in this city with two ex- ceptions, paid out monmey as fast as it was demanded for several hours and then ook advantage of the sixty days notice, Oneof the remaining savings banks paid accounts up 1o #50 and took advantage of the notico oo sums above §50. The other bank 00k the bull by tho horns and refused the demands of ol depositors by taking thoQ sixty days notice. There is a wido difference of opinion among banking men as to the judgment dis- vlayed by the several bankers on this oo- casion. Home insist that all should have taken the sixty days it and stopped the run in its iucipicncy. Others say the strong banks were justified in their action. In my opinion the run of the three banks uamed was nol a very severo test. It was brought about by imomentary excite- ment ond died out in @ very short time. I think the refusal of the smallor banks to pay depositors until after sixty days did more to quell the excitement than the payment of deposits by the other banks. 1am wiliing to admit, however, that if the Omaha Suvings and others had not met the demands of their depositors in whole or in part the excitement might have gone to such an extent as to have precipitated a run upon the national banks. It is gratifyiog to bo abla to announce that the worst seems to b over, and, although financial men will not feel ensy until after congress convenes and the national policy is defined, wo need not anticipate much, it any, further excitement hero. Possivly if the clearing house certifi- eate idea proposed by the New York banks had been adopted in Omaha no trouble what- evor would have occurred. It is nousense 1o say that the run was a benefit to the banks, which parted with their _funds. The advertising may be valuable, but on geueral principles tho saviugs in: stitutions are entitled to due notice from their depositors, and they wolud do well to establishi and waintain their rights. How- ever, as but §200,000 was drawn out on the two days of the excitement and much of that =: alrcady been redeposited, the effect upon conununity will not be serious. “Trade generally has folt the effect of the ttled condition of money matters, h orders are large iu most lines and Dusiness generally is ns good or better than 8 year lgo In groceries and hardware trade is all that can reasonably be expected. In dry goods and lumber fair. In boots and shoes rather dull, though up to last June. Collections for the first two days of the week were good. On Wednesday receipts from this source fell off appreciably and the last three days were exceediugly dull. Retail trade has not suffered by the bank disturbances. Indead some of our dealers say they noted a marked increase from Wednoes. day. Real estate is absolutely lifeless and all tolk of building and other stimulating enterprises not actually under way s off." Produce Pointers. The hot weather of the past woek has stimulated the domand for lamons to a great extent and the trade is quite satisfactory. The local gardeners are supplying the trade to a great extent with home grown vegetables thus cutting off some busine: from the dealers. Some of the peas received by oxpress dur- ing the past few days did not pay shipping charges owing to the fact that the demand is being filled mostly by the local growers. California lemon growers are spending a great deal of time and money In trying to learn the secret of curing their fruit so that it can be marketed in competition with im- ported lemons, This year there will be between 8,000 and 4,000 acres of colory pianted in Kalamazoo, Mich. This is a larger acreage than usual, and is due in the main to the large orders from the World's fair city. Reports from the Georgia melon-growing districts would indicate that the crop is in very fino shape, and itis estimated some 6,000 cars of good melons will be shipped from there this summer. - Missourt strawberries will soon bo_num- bered among the things that were. It has been rather an unsatisfactory season so far on strawberries and it is now too late to ex- pect a good showing from any section. Oranges are not in largo supply and at times the Omaha market has been nearly bare of Riversides, There are but fov seed- lings here and tho main receipts are now Mediterranean sweets, which are coming through in good condition. The offcial figures given out show a fall- ing off of the watermelon acreago from 9,072 last yoar to ¢ this year in tho territory from Valdosta, to Bainbridge and Mon- ticello, Fla., to Albany. The yield per acre, though, is expected to be better and the crop is about the same, At the meeting of the Florida Fruit ex- changoe, held during the past week, the sec- retary revorted that the net averages on oranges for the -season at the shipping de- pots ranged from £1.53 to $1.43 per box at the different markets. The coming crop is esti- mated at 4,500,000 boxe: Strawberries and currents are in bloom for a full crop in Wisconsin, and the blue berries promise to be unprecedented. A ereat disappointment is felt in regard to apple prospects. Tho trees, for some season not apparent at this time, show but few blossoms, and the yield will probably be light. Orange trees in Arizona are so full of fruit this year that many of tho young trees have to be proppea up to keep the limbs from breaking off. The outlook for the orange industry in the Salt River Valley was never brighter. The young orchards are in prime condition and are coming along nicely. The acreago the past year has been increased, Shippers and dealers in game as well as sportsmen, will be pleased to kuow that a'very good prospect for a large op of prairie chickens in lowa this season. Nearly all the prairies were burned over last fall. and the eggs that are usually destroyed by fire in the spring were saved, assuring a very rge increase in the number of chickens, At the present time there ave only about two grades of butter recognized on the Omaha market. A few vackages of the very best or fancy butter sell to the local re trade direct at 15(@16c, but only a small pro- portion of the best butter will bring that price, and if the retail trade will not take the butter it has to be sold as packing stock at practically one price. There is a_good deal of complaint about the poor quality of the eggs that are coming to this marker. Strictly fresh eggs are not at all plenty, and it is necessary to candle several cases of ewygs before one case of good eggs can be secured. Whilo the tops are g at prewty sood prices there are so many seconds that tke average is brought down considerably. However, eggs are higheron this market than on the eastern markets, During the past week agood many old potatoes were refeived and as dealers were all anticipating a rapid increase in the ar- rivals of new potatoes they were all anxious to unload their old stock as rapidly as-. possi- ble. Asa result therg was a decline in the price. A large proportion of the old stock offered for sale was of inferior quality. The demand is rapidly growing for new potatocs and the season for old stock is practically over. Asnearascan be learned there are 4 good many new potatoes on the road and a good many are predicting heavy receipts for next week. Both California and the south are shipping. ) DOUGLAS COUNTY’S ASSESSMENT Property Roturned for Taxes by the Asses- sors Falls Short, The county clerk completed the work of footing the assessors' lists for the year 1503, s0 faras they pertain to the taxable real estate in Dongslas county.

TROUPS QUIET INDIANS, Trouble at Leech Lake Hesorvation Over and Dr. Walker at Liberty. BRAINERD, Minn., June 16.—The Tn- dians on the Lecch Lake resorvation have been quietod and without the active assistance of the troops called from Fort Snelling for the purpose. The party, composed of company D, commanded by Lieutenant Mo( Indian Agent Rufie and Deputy Marshal Shechan, arrived at the agency yestorday afternoon. lverything is now quiet. Dr. Walker, is a happy man, although under arrest charged with assault with intent to kill, The Indians asked that ho be allowed to remain at the agency until the wounded Indian recovered or died, and the request was granted by United ates Marshul Shechan, vidence is being collected by the Indiw who are desirous of showing that Walker in- tended to shoot the fellow. It wasa small but happy lot of white people that last avlnins greeted the troops on their arvival, and for the first time in five days they were free from fear of death and being scalped. The Indians had learned of the approach of the soldiers and had removed their pickets and guards over Dr. Walker, COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Oorn Broke Yesterday and the Drop Was as Sharp as Friday's Advance. FIRST TRADES WERE AT A DECLINE There Was Only a Light Trade Yesterday and an Easler Feool Existed—Stocks and Bonds Quite Dulls On1cAGo, June 17.~The corn markot broke down today and the drop was not so sharp as was the advance of Friday. Thore was, how- over, areduction of about 1¢ a bu. The French duty question was more cloarly understood. There were numerous dispatches saying the action was only on hay, with no prospect of other romovals. It was established by past records that France only takes from 5,000~ 000 bu. to 25,000,000 bu. on the outside of corn on the average and that the question of frco admission of course grains was not so very important to American graln merchants after all. There was, of cours, general selling out of corn by those who bought on the scare yesterday. Tho son- timent at tho start was easior and first trades were anywhore from 'e to %e under the final fizures of yesterday and after ruling steady for nwhile, continted 1o grow weaker, selling off ¢ more.

The widows of these two men will be housed under the same roof. More than that, they will meet daily in the most friendly intercourse, although their husbands represented diametrically opposite views and fought on the opposite sides of a great contest. Mrs. General Grant is now a guest at the Cranstons, and toward the end of the month Mrs. Jefferson Da is also to come there for a considerable stay, The two have never yet happened to meet. Mrs. Grant spoke very feelingly at Cranston about Mrs. Davis' approaching t. She said she would be delighted to see her, and added: “I have never before had an oppors tunity of meeting Mrs. Davis, and so [ hope sho is really coming this time. Last year, when she was expected hore and then did not come after all, I was very much disappointed.

District Attorney Nicoll has written to Superintendent Judson IL. Andrews of the state insane asylum at Butlalo, ask- ine for a report as to whether Mr, Field s sane or insane This action is the re- ilt of published information that Mr. Field was practically a free man, having been allowed to leave the asylum alone and visit Buflalo, if not indeed to come to New York, and to do about as he pleased. This information came from Dr. Charles F. McDoriald, state commis- sioner of lunacy. To him Mr. Field had admitted that he had been given his liherty. Dr. MeDonald ealled upon the district aitorney today at the latter’s request. There was a brief con nee between them regarding the Field matter and then Mr, Nicoll met Chief Justice Van Brunt, who committed Me. Field to the asylum. Afterward Mr. Nicoll wrote the letter to Dr. Andrew, o NO DUDE, Prosecution HE'S Charges Against n Postmaster Because He Diseards Superfluous Clothing.
