Club Concert.
Attention has been called to the prevail
ing high prices paid for the feeding grades
Of sheep in the South Omaha market The
average has ranged above IS per 100
pounds and as high az $3.50 and s6S has
been paid for feeders OF good quality. il
is the opinion Of many stoekmen that the
price lie too high to warrant heavy saying.
The actual fact. however. is that the local
market has been crowded by man buyers
have eagerly bought all the sheep Of
fered. Prices as high as are prevailing
now at the beginning Of the feeding sea-
son were reached only at the very close %
the season last year. 1t Is astonishing 20
consider the holiness Of the feeders in en-
tering into the feeding Of sheep. The only
plausible explanation is the great Eouno-
ance OF feed. The farmers expect to gain
in the cheapness Of feed what they viii
lose in the initial prices. Even At that
many stockmen advise against heavy buy
ing at this season. The receipts have been
moderate in the extreme and iE accounted
for by the fine condition OF the western
ranges, which makes longer feeding profit
abue. The western seheepmen appear TO be
holding back In order TO keep the prices up.
Heavy runs Of sheep are looked for in the
course Of the next few weeks.
City Council Proceedings.
The city council got together yesterday
in the special meeting held at 10 a. m. The
final bills for the fiscal year, which closed

erly in dispute we're allowed. the only diff
ference being that the city cut these claims
in two. Each claimant was paid half OF
the amount Of the original bill. With this
compromise four councilmen voted for the
appropriation sheet John Larsen voted
against the bills.
The city engineer presented the plans
and specifications for all the paving oper-
Htions which have been advanced 10 the
point Of letting the contract. The city clerk
therefore began the Advertisement for bids.
The city clerk will have his annual state
ment prepared soon. The report viii show
