The past week has witnessed a continu- Ance of the very fair trade that pre- walled all the month. There has been no eclally interesting features to the trad ut there has been simply a good, fair movement of seasonable goods, and the job- bers, as a rule, express themselves as well pleased with the showing made so far this month. Of course, business Is not what many would like to see It, but it is fully as good as could be expected under the clrcum- stances, and that 18 about all that could be asked Business in the grocery line has been quite good during the past six days and some. of the local houses claim that they nave peen rushed to get all the orders ous on time, The grocery market has been very firm and the general tendency has been toward higher prices. The jobbers of dry goods report that stocks of winter goods in the country are being broken to some extent, and that sort- fng up orders are commencing to urrive, which is helping out the volume of bus mess very materially. T Boots and shoes there is o fair trade for the season of the year, and there appears 10 be no disposition on ‘the part of the job- bers engaged in that line to complain. °Se- wverer weather would, without doubt, greatly facilitate the movement of goods in a job- bing way, as it would stimulate the rétail trade and cause stocks to be broken. Collections In almost all lines are re- rted ns very satisfactory. Some of the bbers are reporting that it is a matter of surprise that collections should be as oo a8 they are. The l0ss of the crops was Bupposed 1o place the country in very bad ghape, as there would be little for the Tarmers to sell and money would naturally be very scarc In view of the conditions in the country jobbers say that they ll(z not see where the money comes from. Some are Inclined to offer the explanation that the smaller firms that are really hard up are not trying to buy, and that it is the larger firms that formerly bought in the east that are glving their business to Omaha at the present time, and that they have money, or can get it as they require t. 94 1s o fact, however, that trade In this state ls light, and there is every reason for belleving that there will not be much life'to it until the coming of another crop. In the states west of Nebraska there is a large and_very satisfactory business doing and it is from that source that the Omaha Jobbers are receiving their best trade. During the past week the bank ciearings at Omaha have shown a decided increase, mmounting to over 8 per cent. While this city does not show as heavy gains as some other places, it is still ahead of the average for the whole country. As the hollday season draws nearer the tnquiry for goods of the character usually in demand at that season is increasing and the jobbers handling such are reporting an fmprovement in trade. This appears to be the case in all cities, as well as in Omaha, and |8 the usual condition expected at this time. The banquet held In this city by the com- mission men on Friday evening i one more evidence of the Increased interest that is being created among that branch of trade in this city. The members of the fruit and produce trade in all parts of ‘the country appear to be waking up to the importance of ‘uniting for the purpose of creating a better feellng among the members of the trade, and for the further object of protect- ing shippers against the frandulent firms that are springing up all over the country, and Which have brought disrepute upon the business. Reputable firms in all parts of the country are making a great effort to elevate the business, and to aid in that movement a national association has been ormed, limited to firms that are known to relible and responsible, Omaha commis- #ion men are fully alive to the movement that is golng on in other cities and propose to do thelr part. In January there will be a meeting of the national league and it is expected that Omaha will be fully rep- resented on that occasion. AS DUN SEES IT. Good Times Not Yet Hero but the Wave is Rolilug on from the East. Mr. W. H. Roberson, speaking of trade viewed from the standpoint of R. G. Dun & Co.'s Mercantile Agency, says: “Good times are probably coming, but it 18 a serious mistake to expect them at once. They are not here, and hope is all the business world has at present to buoy it up in the general depression which has overwhelmed the country at large in the last two years. | “Prade i dull in nearly every jobbing line, though the cool weather the first part of the week stimulated some activity among dealers in dry goods and clothing. The fact that winter is already here was brought forcibly to the attention of every- body, and everybody began to hustle for cold "weather clothing “Very little can be gaid to encourage the downhearted locally, but all reports from the east agree that there is a decided im- provement there and the wave must nec- essarlly move westward. Money Is abun- dant, and clearings show a gain over a year ago. ‘Locally, there is quite a discussion over the freight rules adopted governing max- fmum and minimum weights of carloads. The packers think this will have the direct effect of increasing the freight rates on their product, and they are complaining out loud. Of this particular controversy it may be said that transportation com- ganies are often roundly denounced for iscriminating rates, but people do not al- ways hear both sides of the question. A leading jobber once said to me that e ‘would be doing business at an actual oss if he were not given rebates by the traneportation companies. The remark opened my eyes, and on investigating 1 find that,” notwithstanding the Interstate commerce laws, rebates are enjoyed by nearly all heavy shippers. If packers and bbers would stand by each other and by e railways for unvarying and fair rates, there would be a good deal less quarreling among the roads and less cause for com- laintall around. Ttis practically impossi- le to determine what rates are actually in force to and from a given point, The com- pany which glves a rate fnto a particular center feels ‘haturally that the manufac- tured output should go out over its line, and it it does not so go the conclusion 1 drresistible that the manufacturer is re- celving special concessions from a_compet- itor. “The company which does not nat- wrafly ‘carry the business bids for it and gets it but gets it by o system of liberal Tebates, The beneficlaries” of the rebates keep thelr own counsel and perhups foln in @& general clamor for reduced rates, but the honest truth is that the shipper and rail- way stand together and the rebate nuisance fl ept very much alive. When we have a W aguinad rebates capable of enforcement absolute honesty of shippers toward ench other and of rallways toward each er the trouble can be removed. Until - then men will look out for their own inter- nd rallways will do likewlse, regard- of the effect upon the less favored. ©“The Commerclal ‘club is not asleep, Its members are a trifle drowsy, but the man- | gemant keeps both eyes open and fs con- - tinually reaching out for something to help e interests of Omaha. Just now a mile “ race track and an exposition are receiving au;num‘, The public will be Invited 1o iscuss the matter and an effort will be made to have a week or so of festivities mext fall to attract visitors,” BNOW, CHURCH & €O 1EWS. Busloess Revival Spasmodic and Outlook for the lmmediate Future Not Good. Albert Andriano, local superintendent for Bnow, Church & Co.'s mercantile agency, writes: ““The slight revival of business following election seems only to have been spasmodic, and, notwithstanding fairly seasonable weather, trade has not kept up as antiei- pated taflers in all lines are much discour- ting from the crop failure, but to the jency to economize, which' is growin is llslrlbullbla not only to a lack of money ““1!’ than diminishing, with all classes of le.

May corn lost %e, May oats closed un- hanged and provisions made moderate gains, The weekly exports of wheat and flour, as published by Bradstreet's, was somewhat of a surprise. They amounted to 3,31 bu,, from both coasts, compared with 2,909,- 00 bu. on the preceding week, and 2,744,000 bu. for the corresponding week of last year. The Liverpool market was steadier than expected. The shorts in the market were soon put at thelr ease when the receipts at Minneapolis and Dulutah were reported at 927 car loads, compared with 578 cars on the corresponding day of last year. The open- Ing price for May was 08%c, and that price was bid for a few seconds. It became rather easier shortly afterward and sold down to B8%c, but the tendency during the remainder of the session was toward the recovery of that slight reduction. There was, less pressure of December wheat, Commis- flon houses reported a general lmprove- ment in the tone of speculative inquiry. The market became strong toward the end on the receipt of a cablegram from the editor of the Liverpool n Trade News to the secretary of the Chicago Board of Trade, stating that the latest estimate on the Russian wheat crop made at St. Petersburg placed the deficlency this year at §8,000,00 bu., as compared with last year's final re- turns, The price closed firm, at 5%c for May. Corn _was wedk on the pressure of new corn offerings from Ilinofs and Indiana and the cable receipts today and estimated re ceipts for Monday. Today's receipts were 577 cars and for Monday 775 cars are esti- mated. Compared with closing prices yes- terday, November corn is lc lower at the close, and December %c lower. May opened the higher, at 48%e, sold to 48%c and closed at 48%c. For Saturday, oats did remarkably well. The strength in the nelghboring cereals first started the activity in oats. The feel- ing was generally firm during the greater part of the session, although prices aver- aged about steady. 'May ranged from 82ic 12%c and 32%c, opening at 32%c and clos with sales ruled steady at yesterday's last quotations, The provision market was fairly good and price ensuing week 1s not expected to be nearly as heavy as that of the pr week closing, show gains as follow: lard, 214 to Se, and ribs, 2ic for May de- livery.
