COLLECTIONS AS A RULE ARE VERY FAIR Buasiness Gradoally Recovering from the Depression of the Past Two Months— The Volome of Trade in Some Lines Almost Up to Last ¥ ur's Record.

Trade In Omaha Reviving and Merchants Gonerally Hopelul, Mr. W. H. Roberson, manager of the Omahaoffice of R. G. Dun & Co, reviewing local trade froin the mercantile agency standpoint, says: t will be observed that the clearings show a marked improvement in Omaha. This is partly due to the reopening of the American National bank and partly w im- proved trade. The large volume of business aaded to Omaha clearings by the resump- tion of the only national bank that ever closed its doors in the city shows better than anything else that confidence is re- turning. “Another incident in the same line of con- clusion was brought to my attention by the paying teller of one of the strongest financial nstitutions in Omaha. In paying me some currency I noted a strong smell of camphor about a bunch of bills taken out of his money drawer. Upon inquiry 1 was informed that this was no uncommon incident of late, and it was explained that this money had been L ed about somebody's residence and camphor was used to keep away moths and crickets, Nevertheless deposits are not largely in- creased, either at individual banks or in the aggregate. The fact that bank accounts have grown more active, however, is regarded as a favorable condition. “Sentiment all over the city is setting in very strongly on the right side. Men in business look back now and wonder how they pulled throuszh the last ninety days, but no longer look ahead and wonder how they are tomake ends meet for the naxt few months. Already tho fall trade has set in, During the week a good many country merchants haye been laying in stock. One house sold 1,500 worth of goods on the only legal holiday of the last ten days, and as the head of the house remarked, *We have our faces cleaned now and the dust wiped off. If we can keop whis up we will save our coat tails, too.’ ‘I'raveling men are now out doing their best to drum up trade, and orders ars coming in quite satisfactorily. *‘In groceries and hardware trade con- tinues very good. Grocers complain some- what because orders are so largely for staples in which profits are slight. One house has shipped out forty-six carloads of sugar since August 20, representing a value of £60,000, “Speaking of sugar recalls the fact that over 4,500,000 pounds of sugar, valued at 50,000, have been received in this market within ' thirty days. Grocers report soft grades out of market with no offerings from refiners. In spite of these conditions prices have not varied a great deal. **Retail trade has obeen quite fair for the week, though buyers still respond more cheerfully to advertisementsof special sales than to regular dealings. ““Ihere 18 some inquiry for small homes, but almost nothing doing otherwise in real estate, “Building is more active than at any time during the summer, and a good force is busy on public work, The mayor and city council have provided a fund of $10,000 to be used upon the public streets, and 1f it were a little longer until election, people would give them great praise for this effort to help unemployed. They deserve the credit any- how.” Produce Polnters. Theodore Hegemann has accepted a posi- tion with Icken & Wohlers. Elk, antelope, deer and quail will be in season the first of the month. J. D. Younger, of thefirm of Moore, Fergu- son & Youger, spent a few days of tho past week at York, Neb, M. Icken of the firm of Icken & Wohlers has returned from a very successful hunting expedition 1 Holt county. E. B. Branch, of the firm of Branch & Co., nas returned from a trip tothe World's fair and reports having had an enjoyable time. The local growers are supplying the de- mand for all kinds of vegetables excopt po- tatoes, which have to be shipped in from outside points. H. [, KKellogg, well known to the produce wrade having boen on the Omaha market for a number of years, has taken an interest in the firm of Riddell & Co. New York fruit men are very much put out by the restrictions that have boen put upon the importation of oranges and lemons from cholera infected ports. Hay and fodder of all kinds most of the Buropean countries, and large importations will have to be made from such countries as happen to have a surplus.

Kirschbraun of the Kirschbraun-Has- kell Produce company, who svent several weeks - California, reports that pusiness there is ot in the very best shape imagi- nable, The price of fruit has been so low in eastern markets that a good many of the shipments have notuetted the growers any- tning to speak of. The canning factories canuot operate for lack of funds and thou- sands of bushels of fruit are rotting in the orchards. The wool men will not advance monoy enough to pay for shearing the sheen, and the grain men are not doing any better on wheat, The Wisconsin cranberry growers are out with a circalar guaranteeing that their favorite fruit will cure or prevent cholera. They recommend that a dish of cranberry taken with each meal. *The " savs the circular, “contains acid, phosphoric acid and silicie ae All of them are germ destroyers, It also contains sesque oxide of 1ron, a powerful tonie, giving hoalth and beauty while the phosphorous brightens the intelleet.” This sounds a little like Barnett Bros,' (Chicago) story about pineapples as a cure for throat diseuse. he Charleston “News and Courier,” £ report from Burnwell county, says: The watermelon season is over, and farmers, as a whole, have not reulized any profit at all. Up to August | about eighty cars had been shipped, bringing gross sales of §i2,000, di- videa as follows as per railrosd book: IPreight per car #110, $3.800; commission on same, $1.200; hauling and cultivating, $2,000.

Tho railroad companmes will haul corn, bacon, flour, ete., from the same points for $30 per car. 1If the melon market is the least flat they demand the freight in advance. A New York fruit importing house is in receipt of a box of lemons and one of ‘0 searce in oranges for N Cloveland from F, S, Ciampa & Son of Sorrento, Messina, and Rodi, Italy.
