How would you like to buy a winter over
coat now il YOU got guarantee that it
wouldn't be real good fit ill you had worn
it for two years? Perhaps you think such
proposition is ridiculous and so it s,-your
coat might not be of much account at the
end of two years. Men don't buy their over
coats in that way, but that 5 the way some Of
them buy their life insurance.
When you buy your overcoat you want the
best value you can get for your money, and
you want the coat to fit right away. Some
men buy life Insurance policies without read

Some Timely suggestions as to How Omaha's

Ing trade matters, says;
81 think the week shows a distinct i'm
proVement all around, though February as a
whole was not all that was expected by all
lines of trade, Stocks in all the country
stores are so low that hand to mouth buying
cannot much longer continue. This probably
explains why the jobbers' bureau of the
Commercial club has received from fifteen to
twenty notices a day from country merchants
that they viii accept the invitation of the
%jobbers to come into the city ON a shopping
trip.
Eat the banks there Is more activity than
has been observed since the first Of the year.
The statements to the comptroller will be
out this week and will show from Al TO so
par cent cash and other conditions very
favorable, Deposits will show probably
81 100000 increase since December. One OF
the leading bankers of the city told me yes
terday that within a week he had received
for deposit from one customer $500 and from
another $500 in gold. In both cases the
gold had earth marks and showed that It
had been buried, From this circumstance he
reasons that the hidden money is coming to
the front and he believes that If business
improves the necessary funds will be on
hand to attend TO 1t.
Another active banker states that the
past week has felt more like banking should
feel than any week since last summer. He
predicts that bankers will be seeking
borrowers within ten days.
Nevertheless, times continue to be hard,
prices on all commodities are low, work is
scarce capital is inactive. The farmers'

The notable feature OF the season now
closed is the relation which has existed
between prices OF hogs and Of product. The
farmer has had the benefit Of premium
prices for his hogs incident to n season Of
short supplies, while the packer has con-
stantly been contending against the trade
depression which has discouraged spccula-
tive interest, which fact, and the surpris-
ingly low vaules for grain, notably wheat,
have had an unfavorable influence on the
provision market and prices Of product have

General Tendency in Securities Was
Toward Higher Prices.

General Tendency I'm Securities Was
Toward Higher Prices.
NEW YORK, March with the excep-
ton Of a brief period about half past 10
o'clock, when a fractional reaction occurred,
the stock market was strong today and the
general tendency was toward higher prices.
The volume of business, however, was light
and the speculation was without important
feature. Rumor mongers had for once
abandoned their avocation and the market
was practically left to itself, without the
influence of good or evil reports.
A desire on the part of the shorts to cover
their lines which they did not care to leave
unprotected over Sunday was the leading
motive of the purchasing movement, which
sent prices upward. There was very little
buying for the long account and the foreign
houses were not trading to any extent. Sugar
was most active and recorded the greatest
advance OF the day-13s per cent. General
Electric moved up * per cent and Lead u
per cent, the Improvement in the other in
d~ustrials being trining. The grangers eX-
cept Northwestern, participated largely in
the rise. Rock Island and Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy advanced | per cent and st.
Paul q per cent. Baltimore & Ohio shows
an advance of ~ per cent. The market
closed strong at about the best figures of the
day. The movement for the week has re-
suited generally in the establishment of a

st. Paul, 3S per cent; st. Paul preferred, IL

western, ia per cent.
The railway and miscellaneous bond mar
ket was firm throughout the day.
The Evening Post says: That the better
feeling had by no means vanished with yes
terday's market reaction, today's market was
evidence. Business was again more active
than has lately been the rule, and prices,
especially for the granger stocks, closed
higher. The stock market is often a
harbinger of industrial conditions generally,
and it would not be rash to surmise that the
same conditions are now beginning to rule
in the outside business world, a conviction,
namely, that re have at last touched
bottom" and that on the new basis of
economy there is a chance for revived and
profitable activity.

Dealers generally were surprised at the
comparatively small supply today. Not
much over 5000 head were received or
nearly 5000 fewer than were here on last
Saturday. This circumstance, together
with the better tone to Chicago advlces,
caused a rather firmer feeling at the OPEN
ing and early trading was brisk and on the
basis of a DC to 10c advance. Shippers
did nothing and spectators did next to
it, but buyers for local houses were all
strictly in it and at from $i.75 to $3.50 the
movement was free. The supply lasted
longer than buyers thought it would, and
as soon as the very urgent orders had been
filled the market tlattened out badly, good
hogs would not bring over $40, the early
advance was completely lost and the market
finally closed weak with a few loads still
in first hands, The trading, however, was
very largely at $4.75 and $3.50, as against
$4.65 to $40 on Friday and $3.50 to Sass
at the close last Week.
