AFFAIRS At SOUTH OMAHA
siossmsH Lock fer Record Breaking Run
The 0ouing Week.
CATTLE CARS HAVE SEEN VERY SCARCE
Te~iegrsDhio Reports, However, Indi-
este that EaOuGh Cars Are Now
at Shipping Points for jim
usualIy Heavy Run.

Local stockmen say that one Of the
largest runs on record at the South Omaha
yards Is expected this week. They further
say that the stock yards company hes
made every preparation to prepare for
such receipts and that they will be sur
prised IT nothing.
During the last few weeks the shippers
throughout the state and other parts who
market In South Omaha have been greatly
handicapped on account OF a scarcity OF
cattle cars. The demand was larger than
ever before and II seemed impossible 70
accommodate all, This trouble became so
serious that the receipts OF live stock
at the yards last week fell far below the
general average for the last two months.
The stockmen say that this was not due
10 the fact that there was any scarcity
OF cattle or anything OF that kind. but
solely 10 the condition Of the railroads,
which could not furnish their patrons with
the number OF cars needed.
However. the light run OF last week Is
expected to make an extra large run for
mis- week. II IL thought the cars can be
secured at the original shipping point in
time to accommodate those who have had
their cattle ready. Telegraphic reports
from different parts Of the state indicate
hat cars In abundance are now on hand

OF the cattle raisers.
That the stock yards will make a record
over ali prior years before January 1 seems
probable. At the present time there IL
an increase In the receipts over those a.
this time last year In cattle Of l13, i09 and
IN sheep OF 1870, 900. Hogs are about 1000
short over the number Of last year, but II
Is thought that before the year closes they
will show a proportionate increase with
both cattle and sheep.

any amount of conflict. is the plan OF sew.
erai politicians over the state to attempt
