CONDITION OFOMAHA'S TRADE Jobbers Patiently Waiting for the Olonds to Rl By, COLLECTIONS GENERALLY HOLD UP WELL Merchanta S0l Reducing Thelr Stocks Splendid Crop Oatlook Leads Many to Anticipste an Active Business Late in the Fall. In a gencral way the jobbing trade of Omaha is feeling the effects of the prevail- tringe in tho money market, but in a less dogroo than that of many other oities The fact is generally recognized here that there is no real cause for tho talk of hard times in Nebraska uside from that produced by the reluctance of the banks to extend crodits to business houses. Tho splendid crops of tho past and the equally splondid outlook for the coming erop ought to make business good and would, without doubt, in ordinary times. However, the cutting down of louns by the banks bas made it very difi- cult for firms that are compelled to borrow money to do business and has compelled them to reduce their operations within the bounds of theirown capital. More than that tho uncertainty as to when the monoy market will return to its mormal condition is pr venting business houses from anticipating the future aud making plans for the exten- sion of business operations later in the year. volume of business is accordingly re- ducol and trade generally hampersd, to some oxtent, because of the inability of business houses to obtain their usual accom- modations at the banks and not because of any lack of material prosperity in the state. Although there is every evidence of gen- eral prosperity in the state it is impossible to reduce the credit of business houses without reducing to some exteut the volumo of business, Asa business man remarked, “We ure accustomed to depend upon the banks for help. but all of a sudden wo aro thrown entirely upon our own rosources and abank at the present time is of no more use to a business man than a saw mill,” Tn spite of all drawba however, the jobbing trade of Omaha con tinues fulir for tho scason of tho y The jobbers are pursuing the con- servative policy alroady notea and the re- tailers are following their example. Stocks are being reduced and the purchuse of new goods limited to prosent necessities. Every one appears to be waiting for the clouds ot distrust, that have darkened tho financi horizon of the country, to roll by before at- tempting to push business or branch out in any new lines. The Grocery Trade. Tho wholesale grocery business s, without doubt, ina more satisfactory condition than any other line of the jobbing business. may bo bocause the grocers carry a largor line of necessities than other jobbers. At the same time the retail trace is not buying with their usual freedom, othors being held back as long as possible. The retail groc are alittle timid and are waiting to seo the corn in the ear beforo they put in very heavy stocks of goods. Colioetions have been better than it was anticipated thoy would be u month ago. The money stringency has been hard on the country merchants as there is not much chance for them to gel. assistance, and they are compeiled to fall back entiraly upon the Jobbers. They aro, however, learning to Tely to o greater cxtent upon thomselves, and it is predicted by the jobbers that the grocers of the stato will need less nssist- ance in the future than they have had in the past. Most everything in the grocery line is low and the tendency of tho market 1s rather downward, It i8 predicted that dvied fruits will bo extremely low. Cannad goods aro not likely to go a5 low as they would other- wise on accouut of the number of canneries that ave idle from the Jack of ready money o carry on their operations. The Dry Goods Trade 18 quiet, for no other apparcnt reason than that fobbers and retailers alike are content 10 wait future events. As a jobber remarked : “We ure sitting on a log sunning our- sclves and awaiting developments.” The Tepresentative of an eastern house who was the other day said that there few buyers in Now York and that did put in an appearance were there more to cancel old orders than to place new ones, ‘Tho mills in the east ave being closed down rapidiy and stocks reduced to an extent that must ¢ an active market when trade does v New York dry goods men ave predicting that there will by no improve- ment until after the assombling of congress al sossion. The Hardware Trade. In hurdware focal jobbers are reporting a very fair run of orders s far as the num b is concorned, but_ the total volume is below the averago for the month of July, Country merchants are not buying a dollar's worth of goods that they do not require av the present time. The countey appears to bo hesitating. and oven the prospect of good crops is little inducement to antiipate the immediato wants of trade. Collections are fair for the seison of the year, but they are never ex- pected to be very active this month, What fow changes there are on the mar- ket have a downward tendency. The difti- culty of borrowing money leads manufic- worers o forco sales in order to realize on their goods, in other lines of the jobbing trade, ‘as boots and shoes, hats and caps, ete., theve is little chungo to note, the condition of the trade romaining about the same during the Past two weeks or more, The Bank Clourings. The clearings of the natioual banks of Omaba for tho past week footed up the 8100 Lotal as tho corrosponding woek of last } “This would seem Lo indicate that there his 0L been such i vory great docreaso in she volume of business or if there has been i gne line it has been made up by some other. Tho looal clearings for the month of e, but nothing as ase sufferod by July will show some decs it compared with the many other ecities. AS DUN »E Thinks Bottom Has Boon thut Will Result, Mr. W, H. Roberson, Omaha manager of R G. Dun & Co's, mercantilo agency, in his weekly trade talk suys *The financial world is uched—Good pleased indeed to read in the newspapers the official stute- mont of the comptroller of tho currency which shows that in all this fnancial stringoncy but 105 national banks have been d to suspend. Of this number only thirty-five ve actually gone into the hands of roceivers; the others have either resumed or hive a fair prospect of r:-ulmnlnx by Sep- tember 1. Tho widespread effect of the monetary difficulties is shown in the fact that banks have failod in twenty-ono states and territories. There 18 encouragement in the interest shown by the government in this particular case, for unfortunate as the fact may be, it is o the government that all eves now turn for relief. It remains to be soen what can be effected for the botter- mont of the financial situation by congress. Personally, 1 think congress will do nothing in time to get eredit for the country’s recovery. When congress couvenes and bogius to outline a policy people will, perhaps, come to the on- clusion that the conditions are not so bad after all, and the millions now in hiding will begin 1 come out and seek their legitimate placo in the eiroulution of the country. As 800u s confidence is restoved business will be resumed, aud if congross wcts wisely at the outset congre: will aid in the restora- tion of finuncial order, If otherwise, it will come of itself. ‘e rains of this woek have lifted the farmers out of the slough of despond and trade will immediately feel the good effects { copious rains. The rainfall covered al- iost the entire state and is timely. Novraska is all right, anyhow, but our people are agriultur aud when ~ drouth stares them in the fuco they quit buyiug and go W grumbling. Thy uuportance of rains in sea- 801 is therefore plain to everybody. “'A local retail dealer who conducts one of the leaviest clothing houses b the west has written his eastern manager that trade in Omaha this fall will be fully as good if 1oL better than ln 1891, aud be' is preparing to push his business with more than usual onergy. “But the traveling men _ are sick. Scores of them are laying off and trade is all but dead. Outside the grocery and hardware linos in Omaha there 18, per- haps, not one wholesale house. in the city which does not show a falling off in trade for July as compared with one year ago. But it must be remembered July, 1502, was & ban- ner month to Omaha, The week's trade is also off as compared with last week. In tail circles business is quiet and an almo: universal cry goes up over poor collections, ‘ gonerally conceded that the past woek was the worst of the present period and a good many couservative business men think the bottom has been touched, and we may look for improvement from this time forward. ‘“To give the nonmercantile reader an iden of the extent to which banks carry customers let it bo stated that one of the oldest business men of Omaha, who has been actively promoting enter- prises of one charactér and another for nearly thirty years in the city, claims to have paid = £0000 in interest to one of our banks during his business caress. Ho says he has pas $2,700,000 through the bank fn the time named. A fow vy borrowers like this, if thoy manage to hold up their heads against adversity, make banking fairly profitable in good times and help to wipe out deficits on bad loans ““The effect of this unexpected and unusual stringency upon banking business will probably be good in some particulars. Here- aftor, entorprising houses with limited ecap- will be very loth to place them- solvos absolutely iff the hands of their bankers, and baniors on the other hand, will not be so willing o extond large lines of credit. Both banker and borrower will keap closer to shore."" PRODUCE AND FRUY uginess Has Avornged Falrly Well—A ower Tendency in Some Lines. A fair amount of business has beea trans- acted during the week in the produce dis- trict, although there has been no great rush. The frutt houses report a fair demand, both from the country and locally. The fruit men do not have so very much to sell at this time, the trado being confined toa few lines. California fruits, especially peaches, are plenty, and thero is quite a trade in apples. Oranges aro still selling to somo ext though the season is protty well over. height of the blackberry season appears to have been reached and dealers look for light receipts from now on the balance of the scason. Prices on most kinds of fruit show very little chungo sinco the close of a week ago. Tho past week has witnessed moro changes in the line of country produce than in fruits. The general tendency of the mar- ket has boen lowe The butter market broke and is now ver, dull owing to the domoralization of the ma ket in the east. The situation is very bad in Now York according to all accounts. The Iuropean demand which they depended upon Lo kebp up their markoet fallen off or ceased almost entively, ~The large houses re loaded up full of butter is little demand and houses hout the ready money cannot borrow on ccount of the money stringency and aro hence unable to tuke any part in the mar- ket. Theso houses in New York that been taking tho surplus butter in the w wire not merely that tho markoet is lower and demoralizéd, but advise a cessation of shipments on the ground that there is no money to handle the butter. Such being the situntion in the east the market hero could not very well keep up and prices on paclang stock have declined 2 or 3 cents during the wenle. The egg market and prices aro ago with o Lthe receipts and some dealers dency toward the accumuli “The market on poultry has also experi enced some change. Choice old hens hav not been very plenty and the market on such has remained about steady. The receipts of spring chickens have boen very large and the market is decidedly lower. ~ The market broke early in the weel, but in spite of that fact the chickens kept coming and prices went still lower. Produco Pointers, Advices from southern Illinois, from where car lots of grapes are usually shipped to vhis market, commencing quite early in the sea- son, indicate that the crop has been very largely reduced by the rot. They do not ex- pect to be able to ship over a car lot per da, to all markets this season. William Innis of Ulysses, Neb., is growing 120 ucres of cucumbers and 160 acres of potatoes for D. M. Ferry & Co., the Detroit seedsmen. Ho has put'in an irrigating ma- chine which pumps water out of the Blue river into diwches which carry it over the fields whoere 1t is required by the growing crops. An Omaha commission man who was out there the otherday reports his crops looking finely. The growing of seeds is each year becoming & more important industry and the success of this venturo may mnduce other Nebraska farmers to give it a trial Quite & good many seeds have been grown for eastern seed houses in past yewrs in the vicinity of Waterloo and the efforts in that direction have usuaily been attended with success. According to the last census there are in Nebraska eighteen seed farms with a total acreage of 13,870 The lands, buildings, implements, etc., are valued at $407,7406. An lowa lady has gone extensively into the onion-raising business and is asking for bids on her crop. Oune local commission house offered to handle the crop on commis- s10n, but the lady yeplicd: “I do not care to sell ‘my onions on commission, as 1 have plenty to oceupy my mind this full.” I'ho tinancial stringency has proved most disustrous to the fruit canners of California, ys the San F'rancisco Examiner, and as a result, fruit growers and thousands of poor people who earn needed wages in the can- nories every year will suffer. The troublo all arises because the banks will not loan the cauners money to carry on thoir business as they have in former years. No canning com- pany has the capital that would be ncces- sary for them to buy all the fruit they wanv, hire their labor and pay other expenses for which cash is required, and then wait for ipts from the sales of their products. is also lower less weak weok feeling. very than o confident been quite large there is a ten- tion of stocks. The cost of runmmg @ large can- nery s about #0000 a day. The practico of cauners has been 1o bo row from banks on warehouso receipts as fast as their product was packed and to dis- count their drafts secured by bills of lading. Though San Francisco banks have more money in the vaults than ever beforn they have refused with one or two exceptions to accommodate canners this year. Leading fruit canners anticipate a large riso 1 prices of canned goods a little later, because the California supply will be less than half as grent us usual, Yet, now, fruit is rotting be- causoe the canners can't handle it, IPruit auction conipanies appear to be very popular in all the surrounding cities, but the eraze hus not as yet struck Omaha, The question was recently brought up among a party of Omaha commission men s to whether or not there is any distinction between huckleberries and blueberries, a fruit that is now coming to market in hberal quantities both from Arkansas and \Viscon- sin. Some held that i1t was all the same kind of fruit, but known under different names in different localities. A letter has Just come w hand from Mr. Patch of Patch & Roberts of Boston, in which huckleberries are described as a small aud black berry full of seods while the blueberry is larger and has few seeds. Mr. Hazzard of Omaha who is considered good authority on fruit, d u good many other thiugs, says that they are all huekleborrivs but that the blue huckle- berries are called blueberries. He also suys that the bluo huckleberries are not as soady us the black and that the best come from along the Duluth road in Minnesota. Mr. Webster in his unabridged dictionary remarks that the huckleberry, also called whortleberry, is an edible black or dark blue fruit of several species,shrubs nearly related to the blueberries and for- merely confused with them, Mr. Webster and Mr. Pawh apparently differ from Mr. Hazzard but Omaha commission men will back Mr, Hazzard's opivion against all comers. Many of the foreign governments pa: stringent regulations to protect the products of their soil and prevent deterioration in the quality and consequent loss of reputation in the markess of the world. The Greek gov- ernment regulates the shipment of currants, the date of August 28 being fixed again this ,!yu whon first shipments can be made. his action is takea to prevent undue haste iu the preparation of the crop and subse- quent unfavorable results when submitted 10 consumers., THE OMAHNA DAILY BE COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Liquidation in Wheat Yestorday Was Oon- tinued on a Heavy Soale, EVERYBODY HAD THAT CEREAL FOR SALE As the Decline Went on Margine Beoame Exhaustod snd Many Trades Were Closed on that Account ~Stocks and Bonds. ORToAGO, July 20.—The llquidation In wheat, which has been so much of a foature during tho last fow days was continued this morning and prices today again boat all records for cheapness. September sold off at one time 2%¢ from the close last night, and December 2i5¢ lower Everybody seemod to havo wheat for sale, As the docline went on marging becan ox- hausted and many trados wero closed on that account. Cash sold as low as 56%c; Septom- ber, 601, and Docembor 67 5. Near the close, however, shorts began to cover froely and ' large oxport purchuses wero reported which causod a rally of 13e. All the low conditions outsido the monotary mattors wero favorable, with big exports for the woeek, 4,365,000 bu., and big export purchases here and at New York. Some of the trusts' securitios on the New York exchango started panicky and that gave the wheat market its direction at the opening. The start in the pit was wild. A fow purchas- ing orders wore billed at the start at 63 for Septomber in ono part of the pit while In an- other group of traders 1t was being wildly offerod down e, nt & timo trom 63c to 61%c before buving bocame at all_general.

Our agents in Boston telographed to me that a man down én Vermont had 100 bales of just the kind that 1 wantod, and L started immediately to buy thom. “Now, if [ do say it myself, I do not take a back soat from any ono whon it comes to judging the quolity of hops. Well, Tarrived at the place whore tho ownor of these hops lived and - inspected what he had for sale. They wore the best hops that T had scon that season. The price ho asked for them, 60 conts a pound, was reasonable for hops of that qualitys in fact, it was a little less than the market price. w to let the ola fellow seo that | was too anxious to got them, I began to tey to boat him down a little on the price. *“Tho thought strack me that perhaps T might beat him down more it T could induce him to go to town and get him a littie “metlow” over a bottle of cham- pagne. The town was not far away and [ suggested that ho go ck with me, as my time was limited, and if wo struck a Dbargain on the way [ would pay him tho cash for the hops before leaving him. “*He consented, and to town wo went. Wao stopped at the hotol. 1 ordered a the Vermon( “hops bottle of chumpagno and some good cigars.

Things were getting intorosting. The wine had flushed tho face of the old fol- low, but he would not come down a quat- ter of a cent. “Tn desperation I tried another bottle of wine and more cigars. The sparkling fluid went down his throat like wator down a rat hole. He became more and more talkative, and 1 gained courago once mor *Well, Tsaid, ‘we'd better elose the bargain on your first offer of G0 conts,’ *Waell, [ think them hovs are worth hout 65 cents,’ he replied. “Largued and threatened not to take them atall, but it was no use. o was sharp enongh to detect the fact that [ wanted those hops and wanted them badly.
