CATTLE-The market was absolutely
bare OF fresh supplies of cattle this morn
ing, the first time hat such a thing has
occurred the middle of the week since the
market was established at South Omaha.
For fear of blockades the different railroad
refused to receive stock yester-
day, which account for the fact of there
being nothing here today. There were a
few cars on sale that arrived too late to
be sold yesterday. These cattle met with
very ready sale, buyers for all purposes
being anxious for supplies. Besides taking
the cattle readily, they paid prices that
generally looked about lOc higher than
yesterday. In fact, it was a good, healthy
market, what there was OF II, and entirely
satisfactory. The only trouble was that
there were not more cattle to sell.
