SNOW, CHURCH co. ENCOURAGED
Rains of Last Week Give a New Lense of
Life tn Farmers

Life to Farmers
'In our report of last week we made the
general statement that 1895 would not be a
repetition of 1891, in so far as the drouth
was concerned, and that 1895 would show
a good crop. We are at this time very
much pleased to state that indications are
that this statement will be verified in every
sense and respect. Reports from all parts
of the state show that with but the eXcep-
tion of few places there has been an
abundance of rainfall, giving assurances OF
that the moisture came soon enough to
save some of the. small grain" writes the
local manager of Snow, Church Co. s
commercial agency.
'"rhe situation now, to say the least is
the fa Wso
had enough to make him feel gloomy and
worried.
THE business situation. aside from the
crop prospects. shows no very material
change over the condition that prevailed
during the preceding week. The good pros
poets are too new as yet to have made a
very great change, and when the question
as to whether there was or was not to be a
crop was absorbing the attention of every
one 1t was hardly to be expected that bust
ness would be pushed very vigorously, al
though since the rain business men in all
lines express themselves as satisfied, The
boot and shoe trade and the furniture trade
both show signs OF announcement. There
have been some increases in prices in some
hardware lines which is to be taken as an
indication of good. The leather trade par
ticularly, shows very remarkable increase
in everything, and tanneres in all parts
of the country are attempting by every pos
slble way TO escape from filling orders
which were taken several months since at
the prices then quoted. In fact, the in
crease has in some lines not been n moder
ate increase, but triple and quadruple the
prices quoted some months since. This, of
course, was brought about by the crop con-
ditlons that prevailed last year in a great
many sections OF the country from which,
OF course, Nebraska did not escape. The
breeders were forced TO sell their cattle be-
cause OF arcity OF feed, and this, of course,
resulted in scarcity OF hides. hence the
increase in prices Of leather. Notwithstand-
ing this very large advance q large amount
of leather Is being sold, and the trade is
being pushed very vigorously.
There Is no appreciable change in collec-
tions II anything, however, they are trife
better and indications, as shown by re-
ports from a great many parts OF the state,
arc that good times are with us again"

HOGS-Ihe decrease Of 1000 head In
ceipts this week. as compared with last. has not
had any favorable iniuelce on either the demand
or the price for hogs. Conditions and prices,
however, are favorable for active packing opera
tions and the movement has been free all week
with prices ON an average pretty much the same
for the preceding week. This applies only
to the hogs of decent weight and quality, Many
pigI were forced in scared in by the dry
weather, and the market has simply been gluttei
with these poor pigs. The demand FOR this
class OF stock Is never very vigorous, and II
took big reduction in prices to enable statesmen
to effect clearance. Aside from the pgs, how
eyer the quality Of the hogs has been exception
ally good and prior T. the deluge OF light stun,
or about ten days ago, the average weight Of the
receipts 226 lbs. This week the average
fcll to 2l4 lbs, and the months average was
only 2l7 lbs.

ic to Zoe lower than Friday. Packers were
practically the only buyers They wanted the
heavier hogs and bought them Ia freely at about
