CONDITION OF OMAHA'S TRADE Jobbers Dovote the Week to Entertaining Their Friends, COUNTRY CUSTOMERS CROWD THE CITY Dusiness Men Res with hir— Hehly Greatified | * Derive | The ¢ urse of business was decidedly out of the ordinary last week and nothing like it has been experienced here in a long time, The trade of this city hus been so acc tomed to the pursuit of the old 1w beaten path that it seemed quite a noveity | to have the routine of buying and selling | placed on the shelf for a whole week. * | hav week Tow ular ovation all the to feel lonesome | been holding a re and are commencing that the crowd has disappeared,” sald a jobber. ““This has been the greatest week that we cver experlenced,” sald another jobber, “and I believe that I would be safe In saying that we have shown 2,000 peo our cusiomers and their friends, through our place of business, We had every one of our traveling men in the city to entertain visitors and then could not give callers all the attention that we desired.” Similar remarks are heard on every side end it ix safe to say that the great majority | of the jobbers of the city are exceedingly well pleased with the results of fair week As a matter of course, there will be found | men who figure the value of an enterprise f of any kind from the amount of cash wo our | they happened to take in, or from the vol- | ume of their sales, and such individuals | will say that the fair, while a success, did not pay them. The croakers, however, ap pear to be in a hopeless minority. ' The majority of the jobbers did not expect an great amount of immediate business to re- sult from the holding of the state fair in Omaha. The resulls, however, have more than met expectations. So many of the re- tail merc nts of the state brought in com- phimentary orders that most all of the job- bing houses have had about all that they cculd do. The gales of the dry goods people were very larg nd the boot and sh men did a very comfortable business, The gro- cery and’ hardware houses find that the total of their sales for the week amounts to a much larger aggregate than antici- pated. DID NOT TALK SHOP, Ag a rule the jobbers did not attempt to sell goods, or as one of them expressed it “We did not talk shop, but gave up the week to pleasure and the entertainment of our customers.' very one in the jobbing digtrict appeared to realize that it was the time for Omaha to make friends rather than push sales of merchandise. That they succeeded most admirably was evidenced by the remarks of visitors who expressed themselyes a8 most thoroughly satisfied with everything but the weather. “Omahi made Tots of friends during the past week,” remarked an old-timer in the jobbing district, “and friends, too, that will ‘not forget right away the cordial re ception accorded them.” One of the moat gratifying features was the number of lowa merchants at the falr who have done busi- ness for years within fifty or sixty miles of Omaha, but never before visited the city. These men have been the hardest to sell 'to of any within the radius visited by Omaha_traviing men, because they coull not realize that there was really a large Jobbing market to the west of them A re resentative Towa merchant remarked that he never before comprehended that Omaha was such a large city and that the jobbing houses carried such extensive stocks of merchandise. There is no doubt in the minds of the Jobbers of Omaha but what the events of the past week have impressed upon the minds of the retail trade of the country tributary to this market the - fact that Omaha is really a jobbing market, and a much larger and bettér market than'they had realized. A good many retail mer- chants in the past have thought of Omaha a9 an overgfown town only, and they have felt most too big to buy goods here, pre- ferring to go farther east even if they were put to some inconvenience. Now that they have seen that Omaha Is really a metropolitan city, they will not feel at all backward about placing their orders here. MARKETS LOST SIGHT O There was so much going on every day that no one found time during the week to give much attention to market changes. There was, however, very little along that line to attract attention, Sugars have made a still further advance. The canners of tomatoes are complaining that the market is extremely dull, although the pack Is very light this year. The cause for the indifference on the part of buyers appears to be due to the amount of ‘old stock on hand. It is estimated that there are 300,000 cascs of the 1891 pack of tomatoes still in the hands of jobbers, Tn the line of dry goods, staple cottons show no signs of ~weakening, ‘though in some quarters the upward tendency is re- garded as checked for the time being. LUMBER ADVANCING. The announcement made the middle of the week that the rate on lumber from northwestern points to the Missotri river would be cut b cents is not likely to make any material change in the market for Iumber at this point. The cut in the rate would really amount to about $1 per thou- sand. The market on pine lumber, how ever, has been advancing In price 'during the past sixty days, but more particularly within the last thirty days. The price had reached a lower point than for years, and the yellow pine people were reputed to be losing money. With the improvement in general Lusin conditions, lumber has ad- vanced along with iron, cotton and other commodities, until quité a_gain has been made over former prices. Farming lumber, for example, such as x4 stuff, has ad. vanced $2.50 'per thousand within the last thirty days. Lumbermen say that the ad- vance has not been commensurate with the advances scored by many other aritcles of commerce, and that n further upward movement {8 probable.

Iowa and Missouri farmers have bought several hundred cars of cattle on the South Omaha market and Hlinois and other states have taken a good many, but Nebraska has hardly made a move toward securing cat- tle for the consumption of the corn crop. Tho opinfon has been expressed that later in the season when the corn crop was gath- ered the banks would loan money to the farmers who wished to feed cattle” At the same time there has been no littie un- easiness among many operators at South Omaha that the mone coming and that as the have any cattle to feed feeders, they would iis would' be a uth Omaha mare would not be forth- farmers did not or money to buy ave to sell thelr corn. rious matter for the , as it would leave it '] almost bare of fat béef cattle later in the season afler the run of range cattle was over. During the first half of the present month 683 cars of feeders were shipped Into th country from South Omaha, but only 105 eary went into Nebraska. During = the whale month of August Nebr ninety-two cars. It looks now as if the Ude “of shipments would soon turn into ebraska. Every one interested In the suc- coss of the stock yards at South Omaha ska took only has been putting forth every effort to in- duce capitalists to loan their money on cattle. Beveral firms have Secured Jarse amounts for this purpose, and & prominent capitalist, who {5 interested in the stock yards, sald last evening fhat arrange- ments will be com) |In~lmr n a few days which will bring $1,600,000 to Nebraska to be used in the purchase of cattle paper. The country banks will loan the farmers who wish fo feed cattle and secure themselves on the cattle. Thelr capital, however, Is limited, and it s necessary for them to be able to sell the paper received in this way. A ‘representative of one of the packing houses said that he belleved Nebraska | farmers would not sell thelr corn, owing | to the present low prices, and that they would hold on in hopes of getting cattle | to feed. With a reasonable amount of money for the purchase of cattle paper the packers belleve there will be enough | cattle fed In the state to supply the de- | mands of the local houses, The shortage in the supply of native cattle sultable for feeding purposes has created a very excellent demand for range cattle. All the corn states with the ex- ception of Ohlo und Nebraska are hoavy buyers. As a rule there is a good demand for feeders from Ohlo at this season of the year, but owing to the drouth in that | state during the past summer the farmers selling the cattle that they have in- ad of buying more.
