REPORT ON BUSINESS
Strong Improvement Shown In
Financial Conditions, Is the
Statement Made.

New York. Jan. 23.-Dun's review
Saturday said:
Improvement in financial conditions
has been a marked development in
the last few days, and to some extent
has been accompanied by q more ac-
tive trade distribution, although the
Industrial contraction of the last half
year Is still in evidence.
This Improvement also is reflected
IN more encouraging aspects of the
iron and steel market. While produc-
ton Is still only half capacity, and
there is no decided change In condi-
tons, yet there is new export bust
ness of note and increased buying by
the railroads. Copper is slightly weak
er, because stocks are heavy, notwith-
standing the big world consumption.
Many large dry goods buyers have
been in h primary markets, u their
operations are still along conservative
lines. A considerable export trade has
been done with the rar east IN the
last seven weeks. Printers are get
ting n very fair share of trade.
Bleached sheetings have been adj
vanced and common blankets have
been priced for the season at very
slight advances"
Bradstreet's today says:
- Stht -
moro freely in c-onsonance with the
progress or the season. While the
larger centers report that statesmen
are sending in better orders for dry
goods and kindred lines, less important
cities, principally In the south, agree
trade is only fair to good.
AT the moment jobbers are busy
on early spring shipments, and whole
sale trade has not yet assumed an ac-
tive nnnan nee In fqnt htlVerG a Ia
still displaying a conservative attitude,
prefcrring apparently to buy frequent
ly rather than I'm large volume at IN
n time. In industrial ines little in the
way OF improvement has developed.
On the one hand there is q better de-
mand for lumber at southern points,
fertilizers were active, farm machinery
is in good request and builders hard
ware is in demand. Profits In this
line are scanty. Brightness in those
lines Is offset by further weakness "a
pig iron, by continued dullness In
the steel trade in general, by quietness
in curtailments of leather output and by
the widespread demand, north and
south, for a further reduction in cot
ton mill products. In the cotton goods
trade, ginghams and the finer makes
of goods are relatively best situated,
but coarser articles do not make an
cnviable showing. In the east the shoe
industry Is quiet.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending January
10 were 3o2, against 1853 last week, 275
In the like week of 1910. 307 in 1909, 40S
in 1908 and 352 in 1907.
Business failures in Canada for the
week number 80, which compares with
S3 last week, and 40 in the like week
of last year."

NEBRASKA GROWS
IN MANUFACTURES
Census Report Shows Rapid
Growth In All Lines Except
Capital Invested.

Washington, Jan. 25.-A preliminary
statement of the general results of thu
census Of manufactures for the state
IF Nebraska and the cities of Lincoln
Omaha and South Omaha vas issued
oday by Census Director Durand. IL
consists of summaries, comparing the
igures for 1904 and 1909 by state to-
ais and by totals for the cities of Lin
,oln, Omaha and South Omaha, pre-
pared under the direction of Mr.. Will
am M. Stuart, chief statistician for
manufactures, bureau of the census.
The summary for the state, with the
exception Of the item Of capital, shows
/ consistent increase at the census or
900 as compared with that for 1904,
II the order of their Importance from
| percentage standpoint, as follows;
Number of salaried officials and
Jerks, &C per cent: miscellaneous ex-
oenseS, 81 per cent; value added by
manufacture, 50 per cent; salaries and
wages, 3S per cent; number OF estab-
ishments, 81 per cent; value Of prod
lets. % per cent; cost of materials
Ised, % per cent; average number of
wage earners, 20 per cent, and capital,
per cent.
There were 2,492 establishments in
1909, as against 1919 in 1904, an in
:rease Of 673, or 81 per cent.
The capital invested in 1909 was
S4,015, 600, a gain OF $3.50, 900. o. 5 per
cent, over $50, 235, eco IN 1904. She small
Increase in capital liz the state is due
% the tact that two of its largest in
Iustries. located, respectively, in Oma-
IA and in South Omaha, reported a
great decrease in capital as compared
With that shown in 1904. Too great i'm
p~ortance should not be attached to
.hese figures showing the amount of
capital invested on the two dates given,
as the inherent difficulties involved in
securing correct statistics of capital
invested are so great as to make it
impossible to secure accurate returns
relative to this point. The average cap
tai per establishment was approxi-
nately $4,000 in 1909 and $4,000 in
1904. In this connection it should be
stated that these figures represent the
total amount of capital both owned
and borrowed and inyestN in the bust
ness, but does not inS~seSsAp value

That Democratic r. r. Commission

WHEN the Democratic party first took up the cudgels Tor the
people Of the State and passed a bill creating a Rail Road Commission,
that it a merely a scheme o furnish more toothsome pastry for the
political pie counter.
The Commission wen 10 work in spite of sneers and rebufs and
is recognized as the most magnificent prize package " given by
any political party to the people OF this state.
Ii has gone to work with IL o flourish of trumpcts and by the
from their pedestal OF high prices and o battle after battle for the
shippers.
In the campaign OF last fall the Democratic speakers predicted
that the Railroad Commission would save the people Of the state a
million 4 year and the Republican press made light of these predic"
tons and The scofers said I'VE are from Missouri Goucr show us"
very rapidly what the work of this Commission means and the bust
ness men OF Nevada, when they get their freight bills, begin to realize
just what the Railroad commission means.
We believe. in the long II that the railroads will be the gamers.
The lowering Of freights will help materially to build up the country
tributary to the roads and their future dividends will not be impaired.
The Commission has never sought to in anyway to "cinch" the roads
but have stuck reigeous!y to the proposition that the roads were II
to be based on the physical valuation Of the railroad properties The
recent case OF the Commission against the Tonopah and Goldheld rail
road ws decided IN this basis and the rate IN dressed lumber low
cred from SIS per thousand feet to s. and on mining timbers from
S3 per thousand to SIS.
Possibly the people who uselunber to build houses and the
that Republican orators told them that the claim that the Democratic
party proposed to lower the freight on these commodities, was mere
campaign CUFF and not intended 10 be taken seriously.
The Railroad Commission has ncve lost a fight and the best law
yers of the country have endeavored to break down its effective
work and found that Nevada has a lawyer on a pItful salary OF only
$4,000 a ar who is able to best item in any argument where they at
tempt to show that a railroad is entitled to charge its rates for
service.
Might it not be a good idea for the attorneys of the railroads to
tell thir clients that the doctrin. of what a railroad a earn a
proven physical valuation OF their properties, has been so firmly e-
tablshed that they had better V time and money by o going into
court to overthrow it,
