sion men at the stock yards. The stock is
unloaded from the cars, penned, watered
and fed and then are ready for inspection
and sale. The packers must buy on the day
the stock reaches the stock yards or they
will kill that market 1t is true that the
market price of live stock is governed by
the law of supply and demand, and In South
Omaha particularly is the demand always
in excess of the supply. More less of a
tendency to bunch receipts of live stock on
certain days exists, in order to have big
run on that day This applies to other
markets rather than to the South Omaha
market. The purpose of this is manifest In
that buyers found that they could buy stock
at such "a lower average price than when
runs were reasonably distributed. No feeder
or shipper need be told that II Is seriously

extra help, and even then there was mJre
work than could be done. People stood by
dozens in the aisles watching to get access
to the counters. where they could be waited
on. They all said they never had seen so
many people buying things: 1t was just
like bargain day all the time. 1t was.
without a single exception, the largest
Christmas business the retailers of Omaha
have ever enjoyed.
The wholesale trade was none the less
fortunate. Employees in the dry goods
houses were worked overtime filling Christ
mas orders, and the wholesale hardware
dealers also, while a big demand for holi-
day eatables gave the grocery people all
they could do Shoes have not sold WELL
because there has been little cold and wet
weather. but even with that consideration
the jobbing business has shown an increase
over last year. Truly the business inter
ests of the city have more to be thankful
for than they had at Thanksgiving.
The one man in the whole city who has
the slightest reason not to be happy is the
coal man. The fall has been a bad one for
his pocketbook while IT has been kind to
the householder. But you do not see the
coal man sorrowing. Even for him Christ
mas has a bright spot He knows that old
Winter cannot stay away much longer, and
with the coming OF cold he will reap his
harvest.

without the other The primal factor is
the stock grower and shipper and the
means of transportation. The day has
long since passed when live stock is driven
to any market. 1t is the chief aim of the
grower to get the finished product Of his
ranch, farm and feed lot to market by
the quickest route and at its maximum
perfection and weight. 1t is the live stock
industry that has latticed the west with
railroads more than any other cause
Hence shipment of live stock has about
reached the limit of the science of trans
portation Every few miles along the
line OF every railway in the west are live
stock pens and driving chutes. Some OF
these are private pens and chutes, but
the greater number belong to the railroads.
Under the United States laws live stock
while in transit must be fed and watered
at least once in twenty-four hours. 1t
often happens that the railroads go over
the limit, and, as has happened very re-
Gently. they are sometimes mulcted a fine
of 500 for the neglect. Many of the stock
cars are equipped with automatic water
ing and feeding devices, so that the stock
in transit is fed and watered at more fire.
quent intervals than twenty-four hours
Otherwise the stock must be unloaded al
the live stock notes.-the stock yards-foI
water and feed.
Omaha daily bee., 1905-12-24

When the cars of live stock reach South
Omaha they pass almost Immediately out
of the hands of the shippers to the COM
mission men to whom they have been sew
orally consigned. Once inside the stock
yards in cars, the shipper has nothing
more to do with them The commission
man and buyer relieve him from further
responsibility of their care Each car of
cattle is loaded with twenty head Of stock,
the approximate weight OF each car load
being 1850, at least the freight is taxed
on that basis, regardless OF the actual
weight. Ordinarily free transportation is
given the shipper at the rate Of one nan for
each two cars Of stock. though generally
but three men accompany one consignment.
The minimum number of cars to the train
Is thirty loads, though instances sometimes
occur where "A special train of twenty loads
is shipped, The men accompanying the
stock trains lend a hand at unloading The
cars are switched into the stock yards by
the stock yard engines after oeng de-
tached from the arriving train, to the alleys
along the receiving pens. II is in these re-
ceivtng pens that the commission man
gets his first glimpse OF the consignment
and here the sales are usually made.

through very serious experience with
