1 AILY BEE: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1894 THE_OMAHA D § 15 CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Oountry Merchauts Coming in After Their Winter Goods. OMAHA BANK CLEARINGS ARE STATIONARY Winter Goods of Most Fair Volume, but Colle —~Manufacturers at ¥l Lines Moving In lons Are Slow the State ~Live Stock. While it is Impossible to notlcs any great Impravement in the general business condi- tion as regards the jobbing trade of Omaha, 1t I safe o eay that trade is holding its own, I ¢ has been no great improvement, there certainly has been no retrograde mov: ment. The fact is that business has been moving along smoothly, with no fmportant . feature to attract attention. [t has been a featureless week in jobbing circles. In a general way it may be said that busi- ness is all that jobbers could very well an- _ticfpate under the conditions that are pre- valling in the country at the time, In some lines, such as groc dry goods, where there Is a lar of so-called ne " transacted, while in som a strong disposition among economize and the volume of cordingly reduced. The loss of the crops in the country, in addition to making money soarce with the farmers, has another dircct effect upon trade. There are a great many articies of common - use on the farm for which there is a large . demand when there are crops to be handled, but at the present time, there being small crops, the farmers have no use for them and considerable trade is cut off in this way. - Those jobbers who happen to be handling ,Soodu that come under this head feel the ull times worse than those in some other branches. A good many country merchants have been noticed in the city the past week,'and while they have not bought as heavily as on former seasons, they have all purchased more or less of wintar go-ds, and the total would make quite a showing, While the great majority of these merchants complain of a light' trade, they expect to do some busi- ness and are preparing to take care of it as it comes. One good feature (f the situation in the country is that there are no burden- some stocks of goods on the shelves lo be carried over to another scason. This leaves the merchants frce to buy only what there present ries and proportion other lines there Is consumers to trade is ac- , as might be expected, are slow & good deal of complaint on this the country. The enforced sale howey made mone more seetions of the state than on expeeted, parings at Omaha during the been small, there being no gain over the corresponding week a year ago. While thls (s mot a very satisfactory showing, It is no worse than that made by a good many other cities; in fact, there are not a few cities that show a decrease as com- pared with a year ago. At the South Omuha live stock market there has been a good deal of activity during the past six days. The receipts show a small gain cver the previous week on all kinds of stock, but at the same time the ar- rivals of hogs have been less than during the corresponding weeks of 1893 cr 1892, as will be noted from the following Cattle, 11 score from of stock ha plenty in some might have b The bank c! past week hay 1892, ¥ As to the market, there has b cided decline on somo kinds of catile. One exception is in the case of corn fed cat- . tle, which have held up in price, owing to the good demand and the scarcity. At the ( close of. tho-woek a sale was. made at the highest price paid in a good many months for corn cattle, as will be noted from ti market reports In another coiumn Range catile, which constitute the bulk of the dressed beef cattle arriving at the present time, have declined 15 to 25 cents in the course of the week. The heaviest de- cline has taken place on cows, which are 25 to 50 cents lower than they were last week. The arrivals of this class f siock have been large, and that bas been one of the ehief caures in depressing the market The domand, however, has been leivy, and the market, in spite of the large rec been képt well cleaned up.

Prospects for the Winter Are Much Hetter Than Might Have Been Expreted, Mr. W. H. Roberson, speaking of local trade as viewed from the standpoint of R. G, Dun & Co.'s Mercantlle agency, says: “September starts in with good promise in the jobbing trade, but retail dealers com- * plain of the warm weather. It seems mow to be very generally Lelleved in wholesale circles that the increased number of buyers will make up in a great measure for the large decrease in the averaxe Individual urchases. WIith scarcely an exception our Dbbers, except such lines as are out of eason, speak encouragingly of the outlook. Several are even boas(ing of the results of the first week of the autumn. The trade is ‘spotted,’ however, running well for a few days and likely to fall off just when hopes hive been ralsed to something like elation. “Amang retall dewlers there is a great dif- ference of experience. Dry goods men claim to be doing fairly well, “clothiers complain of dull trade, boot and shoe dealers say trade Is octive. Jewelers are quite blue. AL the department stores clerks are busy The grocers all say August was a short month, owing to the large number of reg- ular customers absent on vacations, but Beptember ix better. It was to he ex pected, in view of close times, that many who have been In the habit of leaving th city for the summer would economize remaining at home. It s a fact. however, that most people with whom vacation is an annual habit did not break off, though many of them were satistied with nearby resorts and cut t cation expenses by Feducing rafiroad fare And spending their time at polnits where expenses wers med- erate and style was at a discount The summer has been on the Commercial club this most val . tion has been somewhat Impaired by the ahsence of many of its most active mem- bers and the indifterence to their obligations of 100 maiy others.

The packers are to be com- mended for their disposition to give prefer- ence to old employes who have homes and families In South Omaha “Tt is no part of my business politics from the standpoint of u partisai, put every business man is particularly In: terested in good local government, and therefore it is probably proper to call at- tention to the importance of the comir municdpal election. and (o remind every property owner and every business man that unless they Interest themselyes ag- y in selecting good men council they can bl anly if the municipal legislature wd unsatisfactory.” to discuss them- Is cor- SNOW, CHURCH & COSS VIEWS, Small Orders and Lots of Them Make Busi- In Omaha Very Goos Albert Andriana, local superintendent for Snow, Church & C mercantile agency, writes “Buginess in general shows a decided re- vival for the week just ended.

The improvement s, of conrs: 0 _ma as it would have been wyorable conditions, ne is_some increase in the volume cf business. The department stores report exceptionally good results for ~the week.

The profits in' this line of goods are naturally large, but an in- crease in the volume of business in the present state of affairs is encouraging in the exireme Grocers unc rtheless, parent good business in numercus small orders. Retailers in this line buy frequently and in small quantities. There Is no doubt that in both of the above mentioned lines the amount of business this fall will show a very heavy increase on the corresponding months of last year. Th facis fo the case are that retailers through- out this territory have deplcted their stocks to such an extent that they are forced to fill in In every department. The fact, how that they purchasing prineipall stapies fs an Indication of the straltened condition of consumers generally. The same gereral conditions above enumerated prevail with hoot and shoe dealers. Dealers in luxuries and high grade goods still con- tinue to complain, and the prebabilities ar that in these lines there will be only a slight improvement, It is to be expected however, that activity in other lines will in some degree affect these as well, “The feeling of disappointment Incident o the faflure of crops 18 decidedly on the wane and fears of the future have ceded to the necessities of the present. The fnhabi- tants of the western counties of Nebrask have come to a full realization of their con- dition, which in many cases seemed almost hopeléss. The long trains of prairie schooners on their easiern journey has been conspicuous feature in this section of the country and the exaggerated reports of de- population have been the cause of much speculation. A careful inquiry as to the real conditions, however, brings the in- formation that these emigrants are com- posed largely of the floating population of the affected districts, and that the better class of farmers are remaining on their lands “Several counties have already voted irri- gation bonds and work on the ditches |8 progressing v tistactorily, This will Flve employment to many of the farmer and the expenditure of the large sums of money necessary. to the ccmpletion of the work will make matters in- these counties comparatively easy during the fall and winter months. “A careful and conservative summary of the present conditions presents the situa- tion ‘about as follows: AMairs in the east are gradually adjusting themselves and the keneral tcne of trade 18 firmer and bett than it has been since the beginning of the panic. Business generally is on the upward gmde and the country is in better condi- tion than It has been. The failure of crops in the west, the great forest fires of Michi- gan and the floods in the south are cei- fainly calamities, the extent of which c: not be under-estimated, but they are local conditicns, and while they materially affect some of the best portions of the country and have their bearing on general business they do mot partake of the nature of a general calamity. “The enormous crops harvested in some parts of the United States anfl the general improvement of business affairs in the manufacturing and the large trading centers will amply coun- teract these local misfortunes, and the thinking business men will find'encourage- ment in the fact that trade in general is showing a very marked improvement. “ocally It may be said: That with the work on irrigation ditches in progress in the western counties and the large expend- ftures of money incident to the same, with the depleted stocks of merhcandise, follow- long term of depression and the abso- ‘mecessity for replenishing, in order to meet the ordinary demands of consumer added to the growing tendency to purchase At the home market, the actual state of wholcsale trade at Omaha fav exceeds ex- pectations and the® prospects are much brighter than they have been at any time within the past few weeks. ““There is hardly a line of trade today which does not report at least a slight im- srovement on the corresponding months of ast year, and it only depends upon the activity 4nd enterprise of Omaha whole- Salers to what extent this improvement can be bettered.’ CASTING WHE are doing a which are being T BEFORE SWINE. Reports Showlng that Fifteen Per Cent orf the Crop Will Go that Way. TOLEDO, Sept. 8.—During the past four days C. . King & Co. have received replies from 3,057 rellable dealers and millers. They cover almost every important wheat and clover seed county in Illinols, Michigan, Indi- ana, Kansas and Missourl, These states Talse most of the clover seed crop and two- thirds of tire winter wheat crop, or nearly one-half of the entire wheat crop of the United States. Of the reports 2,331 are from 208 of the large wheat producing countles. There will be more wheat fed to animals this year than ever before. Iuterior mills are dally grinding some, but mostly to feed swine, In sections where there is a fafr corn crop report, very little will be fed. Replies indicate about 15 per cent of the whole crop may be fed n the states named. Kansas will feed the largest percentages; Michigan nearly as much, Missouri next, then Ohio and entucky, while Indiana and Mlinois will feed @ smaller percentage.

Provisions finished with mode | advances.’ The wheat market opened firm. The forelgn markets were rather easier and. re- ceipts here and in the northwest showed a tendency toward diminishing. Chicago re- celpts, 204 cars. Minneapolls reported 382 cars and Duluth 1 cars, or cars to- gether, compared with 615 cars at both places a year ago. Bradstreet's made the clearances of wheat and flour for the week 3,207,000 bu. against 3,420,000 bu. the week before. The clearances from the Atlantic ports for twenty-four hours amounted to 450,000 bu. The total of the primary market receipts were still in the aggregate, close to the 1,000,000 bu. mark. Business was very light The sustaining influences were the indi tions given by the light northwestern re ts of a much lighter crop of spring wheat than many had calculated upon and of the confirmation coming to hand of the increasing use of winter wheat for feed. The opening price of September was b7c. It advanced from that to from 57%c to 57%c and closed at 567%c. Attention was drawn to the fact of the shipments of wheat at Chicago, Duluth and Toledo, exceeding the receipts today. The corn market was very ragged and irregular, but with an upward tendency for the most part and an improvement es- tablished at the close of about %c per bushel. The effect of the Russian barley importation had apparently exhausted itself and it was altogether discredited in some quarters, There was a healthy demand for the speculative offerings of corn here in view of the expectation of the government crop re- port, which will be issued on Monday, show- ing further heavy deterforation in the condi- tion of corn. September, which closed yester- day at 56%c, op to 56%e, advanced to 57%c and closed with the gal May started at 54%c and 5c, advanced to 57hc, reacted to and closed at 54%ec. y were 307 cars and there 7,000 bu. ed out of store. Business In the oats market was fairly active; there was a fair disposition to trade both ways, but sales wers mostly scattered and local. Fluctuations were again influenced by corn. September ranged from 20%c to %e and ended at 30%c bid. Provisions actes strong on a amount of business. The revival bullish spirit of the grain markets helped prices somewhat and hog receipts present and prospective were light.

The trade was active and the desirable loads were soon picked np. There were some very choice loads in the yards, and better than anything yesterday, so that the top, $6.10 today, is 10c above yesterday's top. Swift & Co. bought an ex- ceptionaily fine load of hogs for Springfield, a load that would be considered prime in any market. After the -most desirable hogs bad been sold the trade eased up and the advanco was lost. It might be said, how- ever, that the advance of the morning was only on the good hogs, and that the com- mon stuff was no higher at any time. The commonish hogs have been working upward, if_anything, more rapidly than th> better grades, and the spread in the market is not £0 wide as it was a shorl time ago.

The train léft Buffalo Saturday evening about 7 o'clock in charge of Conductor Knickerbocker, with Engineer Schaffer at the throttlo, says the Rochester Chronicle. The train had a clear track, as was sup- pos between Buffalo and Lockport, and was running at a high rate of speed. Black Rock was reached without any mishap. After leaving that station behind the engineer sent the train ahead at the rate of over thirty miles an hcur. The night was dark as pitch and the rain beat against the cab windows unceasingly. Engineer Schaffer sat in seat by the cab window. The headlight was of little use in the blinding rain, and the engineer could see cly a few yards in advance of the engine. The train sped on in the dsrkness, and soon the up grade, about five miles south of Tona- wanda, was reached. The engineer opened the throttle wider, the fireman shoyeled coal faster. The hill was passed and the train rumbled on through the stcrm. Suddenly a flash of lightning, followed by a terrific peal cf thunder, lit up the track a half mile aliead. Schafler was looking ahead Just at that moment, and a sight mest his gazo that sent the blood from his cheeks. Twenty yards ahead four freight caes were standing on the track. Grasping the re- verse lever he pulled it back to the last noteh and shouted to the fireman to put on the airbrakes. The fireman's blood seemed to frecze in his veins, and, seizing the brake lever, he sent the air through the train full force. At the same moment Schaffer set the emergercy brakes. The strong locomotive creaked and grozned. The engineer and fireman, with blanched cheeks, stood looking into each other's faces, while the perspiration tr.ckled from their foreheads in lsrge drops. But only for a moment, for the engine tot- tered and both of them were thrown to the floor of the cab Tie shock was so sudden that the passen- gers in the coaches were thrown from ‘thelr seats, the chandelicrs swung from the ceil- Ing and two of them fell to the ficor. One man was thrown completely over the seat in front of him, landing with his head shoved under the second seat in front, and his feet propped up against the breast of an elderly gentleman behind in such a man- ner as to hold him firmly in his seat. One young lady was, by the force of the shock, lifted from her seat, cifried (nto the aisi and deposited in the lap of a man who was Iylng on his back in the aisle The baggage man was at gaged in checking a trunk. He did check it just then, however, for when the shock came the trunk eluded his grasp and started with ihe other baggage for the other end of the car, The baggageman was found afew minutes later covered with satchels in one corner of the car. After the excitement had subsided the conductor and engineer got off the train to investigate the situation. They found the pilot of the en- glne shoved a foot beneath the caboose of the freight train ahead. As they were but a few miles from Leckport the freight was pushed into the yard limits and sidetracked, the train procecding on its way to Lock- port. Old engineers en the Central Hudson pro- nounce it the most wonderful stop they had ever heard of. The flash of lightning was all that saved the lives of over 200 passen- gers on board the train. e In order to Introduce Chamberlain's Cough Remedy here we sold several dozen bottles on a strict guarantee and have found every bot- tle did geed service.
