THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: SU&!ZA" EPTEMBER 30, 1894, CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE—[ COLLECTIONS ARE REMARKAELY GOOD Omaha Jobhers Report a Very Falr Move- " ment of Semsonible Goods—Colder Weather Wanted te Give a Seap to Trade—Bank Clearings Increasing. . The jobbing trade of Omaba continues in | Yery fair shape, that portion, at least, which embraces staple lines of seasonable Boods, As noted a week ago, the country Is buying groceries, dry goods, boots and shoes, and, while not buying as freely as in some woasons, the trade Is reaching very satis- factory proportions. In dry goods the vol- ume of business exceeds that of former sea- sons, owing to the large number of new eustomers that have been coming to Omaha during the past month. The jobbing trade has been something of A surprise to a good many who were ex- ~pecting to see business completely paralyzed by the short crops, and who were unpre- pared for the reasonably good business that has been experionced. The fact that stocks in the country have been allowed to run ' down to the very lowest possible limit s % " the apparent cause for business being as _“'good as 1t is. Merchants have been putting ~ Off buying jus as long as they possibly can, and are now forced to stock up. Cold weather would no doubt act as a powerful stimulus upon trade, as it would start up business in the country and hasten the re- “ Wocking process. It would also send In a 5 many supplementary orders from mer- chants who placed very light orders to gommence with, and who will be forced to e more If they have any trade at all in - the country. ' The bank clearings at Omaha show a slight increase, amounting to a little over 9 per cent. While this is not so large as the © business men at this point would like to see, and does not come up to the increase reported by some other cities, it is ahead of the average for the whole country. Col- Jections in the country are holding up re- markably well, when everything is taken into consideration. THE MANUFACTURERS. The manufacturers of the state have been reaconably busy during the past week, and “he majority of them report business as in protty falr shape. Their association com- pleted the election of directors for the differ- ent cities and towns of the state early in the week, and on Friday the directors from all parts of the state met in Omaha and elected ‘lofficers for the coming year. The assoclation is preparing for an active campalgn the coming winter awd will try to Al the interest in home Industries. lo meetings and banquets will be held in * the various cities of the state for this pur- A Jc”:mlor & Bgan of Nebraska City write as " follows regarding the construction of water ' works at Syracuse: “We have recently been awarded a contract for the erection of a water works system at Syracuse, this state, We were awarded the contract on the grounds that we were home men, although thers wero several blds as low as we were. The board of trustees of Syracuse expressed & desire to use Nebraska workmen and Ne- braska made materfal, and we have com- plied with their wishes by placing our order for all the material, and, in some instances, At a higher price, with the following manu- Wilson & Drake, Omaha, stand * pipe and bollers; th¥ Phoenix Foundry com- pany; Omaha, hydrants and cast iron spe- ¢ials; the Crane company, Omaha, valves, ht fron’ pipe, pumping engine, lead and packing; M.

We © did the next best thing in ordering these ~ Jatter gupplies through Omaha agents. There * reaction after a heavy break, are miany towns in Nebraska that contem- plate the building of water works, and if they will do as the Syracuse people have “done they will help home mdustry and the development of Nebraska manufacturing en- ises very materally.” LIVE STOCK MARKET. The receipts of good cornfed steers have been very fight all the week, and the same might be said of choice range beeves. Owing 1o the scarcity of good beeves, in the face of & good demand, the market has been about steady on the best grades, but common cattle haye been very plenty and the market on such weak. The fact is the great majority of the cattle arriving here has been made up /. Of feeders, butchers’ stock and trash of all kinds. On Tuesday a bunch of cholce corn- fed cattle brought $6, which was the highest iee paid at this point in over two years. @ ‘teeder market broke last week under the Anfluence of large receipts and a sudden stoppage In the demand. After experiencing a declded drop in prices the country seemed le to withstand the temptation and com- ‘menced buying again. As a result the mar- ket gained rapidly in strength toward the close of the week. The log market, after breaking rapidly j%:l;c carly part of the week, halted on and took an upward turn on Sat- day. The advance, however, is not to be dadsus any indication of a continued m,{lgr ent in the market, or even as in- dieating that the bottom has been reached. advance appears to have been a natural induced in ~ some degree by heavy buying on the ~ part of large packers. It was something of & surprise 1o those who had not watched the . cousse of events to seo the packers suddenly ~become anxious for hogs at the close of the ‘week, after being apathetic for some time. ‘The fact s that for the first time in three . or four weeks hogs will pay out, figured on & basis of October provisions. For some time baok hogs have been so high in com- r:mon with provisions that it was no object the packers to operate. AS DUN SEES IT. a Jobbers Find Soptember Was Better Than Expected—Evidonces of Improvement. Mr, W. H. Roberson, manager of R. G. Dun & Co.'s Mercantile agency, speaking of trade, say: “Reports from the east are distinctly en- couraging, and the local situation in jobbing circles s quite satisfactory, though retail dealers are still complaining of very dull Arade, though in dry goods and house trade, however, two or three days of the week wed @ better feeling than heretofore ng tember. bbing circies almost without excep- tember has been better than was , and better than a year ago. has been of a higher class, t0o, our jobbers are very complacent over 1 situation, and are growing more every day.

He says range cattle will soon drop out, and as there Is no. corn_there ean be no more feeding of cattle. Furthermore, local producers have shipped in the larger part of their herds, and pending crops and hay they cannot hope to increase the number grown. The hog market will also be very short for the same reason, but can recover more speedily. In six months pigs can be fitted for skip: ment, but a year or two |8 necessary to put the catile trade back to its former position All he hopes for this winter is that cattle and hogs can be gathered up from all quar- ters to keep the packing houses running even with a reduced force.” SNOW, CHURCH & CO'S VIEWS. Retall Trade Adversely Affected by Warm Wenther—Prospects Grow Brighter, Albert Andriano, local superintendent for Snow, Church & Co.s Mercantile agency, says: “The warm weather during the last week had a very perceptible influence on business in all lines. The falling off was, of course, most noticeable in retall Jines, Seasonable weather Is a necessary condition of good business to retallers, even in the most pros- perous times. Trade this season has thus far been very light and 1s easily affected by the slightest unfavorable condition. Re- tallers are accustomed to see their trade fluctuate with the weather. In a son, such as the present promi business s more dependent chan, of weather than usual. *‘Consumers are limiting their purchases, a8 far as possible, to the necessaries of life, and many are buying wearing apparel only when forced to by the exigencies of the season. “Beyond a slight falling off in orders dur- Ing the latter part of the week, there are no madterial changes in the wholesale mar- ket. Dry goods and boot and shoe dealers report a very satisfactory trade, furniture houses are doing a fair business and in other lines the situation s about the same as last week. Reports from other trading centers are very encouraging and there is every indication that the reported revival of business is of a permanent nature. At Omaha there seems to be a growing tendency to exert every inflence to stimu- late business. The canal proposition is about to be submitied to the people, This project should be actively pushed and all the bene- fits of (ts successful consummation made apparent to the voters of the county. “Work on the irrigation ditches in west- ern counties is progressing, and, with a continuation of agitation of this nature, the entire western part of the state will Soon be a network of ditches. In those sections where running Streams are not available many farmers are sinking wells and put- ting in their own plants. ‘‘Bome weeks since I made speclal refer- ence to the reports which have been spread by eastern papers to the effect that the western part of this state Is being depopu- lated. This is such a glaring misstatement of facts that it should not be passed by un- noticed. It is admitjed that many people are leaving the western part of the etate, but a careful examination of the real facts gives the matter an entirely different phase, Most of these emigrants are squatters and poor renters, who, In the most prosperous imes, were possesied of very limited means and who have been unable to hold out un- der the recent strain, engendered not only by the failure of crops, but by the business depreNsion. Had these same pecple lived in any other state, it Is doubtful if (hey could have held on as long as they did in Ne- braska. “In good times there is no state more prosperous than this, and the liberal ex- tension of credit practiced by the small dealers here is the only reason that many of these eralgrants have been able to hold on up to the present. Many country store dealers have been forced to the wall by their Inability to realize on their heavy out- standings, in many cases out of all propor- tion to their capital. With this lesson fore their eyes and the contraction of eredit which has been gradually taking place at jobbing centers, country merchants have Tefused further credit in many instances and insisted on @ cash basls in others. With little or no credit and no means, many of these pcople are moving eastward. ‘Where they are going and how they expect to improve their condition is an unsolved problem. “*According to report, they would do much better at home and would certainly be taken oare of. The persistency with which such reports are repeated in eastern publi- cations s eminestly unfust and reflects lit- tle eredit on the intelligence and responsi- bility of thelr informants.’ Minneapolis Wheat Market. MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 20.—Wheat recaipts were well maintained during the week, with receipts today of 420,000 bu.; shipments, 36,520 bu. The closing price of cash wheat was 140 higher than yesterday, although the sales averagedfor the day %o lower than yesterday, the change to an advance coming near the close of the day, after about all the cash wheat had been disposed of. The rise was more in sympathy with other mar Kets. The feeling in this market has heen firm for considerable time and the trade was ready for an_adyance at any time that it eould get tho sympathy of other places.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.—The stock market displayed about the usual Saturday activity and speculation was uninteresting, save as it displayed the unsettled tone of the market and the existence of a very general feeling of uncertainty as to the future course of share values. The trading was almost en- tirely done by room traders who were desir- ous of closing out their contracts, long or short, being unwilling t§ leave their lines out over Sunday. Londom did very little in this market beyond some small lots of St. Panl, and very few dutiiders took part In the trading. Sugar was most active and many of those who hud-Bought at the low point yesterday began #§ fake profits thls morning, causing a decliue of % per cent to 89%c. At about 90 the shorts started in to cover and the purchase§ resulted in a re- covery of % per cent. 'The higher figures w.re, however, maintained but for a very short time, and on a ferewal of the selling the stock broke 1% pér é¢nt to 88%, witk'n 1 per cent of the low price of the ween. Within the final dealings a rally of 1% per cent was made, lmiting the day's loss to 1% per cent. g A report was put in.irculation late last evening and appeared in one of the morning papers setting forth that gn opposition com- pany to Chicago Gas raised $6,000 in this city to help fight the Chicago: Gas co story was a pure canard given the ‘stock down, while a b-ar clique covered its short and the rumor did have the effect of sending the stock down after It had opened % per cent higher. the loss, however, being only % p:r cont. The covering move- ment was quite pronounced and continued o the close, which was at the best day and 1% per cent above yesterday' sales. St. 1aul was fairly well held near ths clos tent of 9% per cent, closing ¥ per cent bot- ter. Burlington rose % per cent and recaded % per cent, losing b per cent on the day. Northwestern is down % per cent, and Rock Island % per cent, Distilling on small sell ing declined % per cent. In the rest of the list the dealings were very light, and except in those of the speeialties the changes on the day are in the main fractional. Louis- ville, New Albany preferred and Minneapolis t. Louis preferred are down 1% per cent tsburg, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago final until | etine | Tobacen, 3% per cent of the | when It gave way to the ex- | & St Touls 1. At the close the market generally was fairly steady. On the week the speculation has been very unsettled and the movement of prices irregular. As rule, however, values have depreciated, the last prices made were mainly at from the closing fgures of last day. The more important losses are %4 per cent; Sugar, preferred, Consolidated Gas, 4% per cont; Reading Reaaing and Tobacco preferred, 214 per cent; Brie preferred, 23 per cent; Burlington, 2% per cent; Cordage preferred and cotton oil, 2% per cent; Cord- age preferred and Cotton Oil 2% per cent; Cotton Oll preferred, 2 _per cent; New England and Metropolitan Trac- tion, 2% per cent; Distilling and Western Unlon, 2 per cent; Lake Shore, 1% per cent; Northwestern, 15 per cent; General Electric 114 per cent; Chicago Gas, 1% per cent, and Rock Island, % per cent. Some of the specialties have advanced on the week's trad- ing. including St. Paul & Duluth, and Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg, 4 per cent; Alton & Terre Haute, 3 per cent; Central Pacific 214 per cent, and Edison Electric of Brook Iyn, 2 per cent The bond market was small volum» of business, the total sales reaching only $435,000. The active issues were rather heavy, while some of the curities which are Infrequently dealt in corded advanc.s, Minneapolis & St. Louis firsts, southwestern extension, selling up 2 per cent and St. Paul & Omaha consols, Mil- waukee, Lake Shore & Western firsts, Michi gan diviston, and Brie second consuls trust receipts, 1 per cont Declines: Loulsville, New Albany consuls and Northern Pacific consuls fives, 1 per cent. On the week the changes are about rregular today on a | equally divided on both sidis of the market. The Reading issucs were notably weak on the unfavorable impression made on a large section of the security holders of the com- pany by the plan of riorganization. Large amounts of the firsts and preferences were thrown on the markot, which forced prices down and caused losses of 3 per cent in the fours, 315 per cent In first pr.ferences, 33 per cent in seconds, 2% per cent in thirds, and 1% per cent in deferred incomes. Other notable_recessions were Louis South. rn firsts, 7% per ceni; Richmond & Danvill: equipment fives, 6 per cent; Kansas Pacific consul fives, Lehigh Valley Terminal firsts, 4 per cent; Atchison fours, 25 per cent; Atchison seconds, 1% per cent, and Wabash seconds, 2% per cint. Advances: Duluth & anitoba firsts, Dakota division, 9% per cent; Union Pacific collateral trust fives, 81 per ¢ Misouri Pacific consol sixes, 7 per cent; Chesapeake & Ohio, Cralg Valley firsts, % per cent. Toledd” & Ann Arbor firsts, 4 per c:nt; Denver & Rio ment fives, 4% per cent; Peoria & Eastern rsts, 31 per cent; St. Paul Terminal fives 1 Milwaukes & Northern firsts of 1913 main line, 3 per cent. The Evening Post says arket business was done by professional speculators. Although the general range of prices fell, the only real activity was in ons r two industrial stocks. Of thes: Sugar again absorbed the market's interest. The argument under which this stock declined again consisted chiefly of detailed explana- tions of the process by which the trust's re- cont forestalling operations overreached itself.
