OMAHA SECOND OATS MARKET
MS to Handsome Homes in the West Farnam DistriCtOA
Gate City Next to Chicago in Shipments
for Month Of October,
GREAT GROWTH OVlR LAST YEAR SHOWN
owing 60 Late Movement In Nebraska
Omaha VIII Hardly Close Year
second in Corn. say
Local Dealers,

For the first time in the history OF tho
Grain exchange Omaha has stood second
among the primary grain markets in point
of oats shipments for one month. Only
Chicago sent out more oats than Omaha In
october, according TO the october report
Of the government Department of Com
merce and Labor. just received at the ofics
of the Grain exchange.
The market was fourth in point Of oats
receipts for October. For the ten months
ending october 81 II stood fifth in oats re-
ceipts, as against tenth last year. Ship
ments for ten months gave Omaha sixth
place. where it had seventh last year.
Grain men say Omaha will hardly close
the year as second in corn receipts, be-
cause Of the late movement Of corn in Me-
braska. The movement in Kansas and Mis-
souri, was good In November, giving st.
Louis lead OF several million bushels over
Omaha. Kansas City is several million
bushels behind. Chicago is first as a corn
market, ST. Louis, Omaha and Kansas City
always lighting for second place.
Some Improvement is shown in the mar
ket as q wheat center Omaha stands in
sixth place for the ten months with 6975,5Oo
bushels receipts, as compared with seventh
place last year and 400 900 bushels receipts.
In total grain receipts and shipments for
ten months the market stands sixth, as II
stood last year.

The City of Charleston reversed it.
self at the city election on Monday
and changed a council Of eleven Re
publicans and three Democrats to one
Of eight Democrats and six Republi-
cans. Down there the Republicans
began to clean up the town and the
gamblers and saloon keepers went
with their old allies and defeated the
men who we're trying to give the town
a decent government. The loss Of
a councilman or two this year to the
Republicans OF Falrmont might serve
as entering wedge for split next
year, SO II behooves the Republicans
of the city to look after each ward and
give their candidate loyal support. The
only way to win is to stand together
and when the Republicans Of Fair.
mont do that, victory is easy.
