The severe rainstorm OF Friday and
Saturday which turned to snow in the
west Saturday evening and Sunday and
was continued Monday In the western sec
ton OF Nebraska had a marked effect on
the South Omaha market Tuesday. The
lightest receipts for Tuesday were re-
corded. other days Of the week such as
Friday and Saturday often show receipts
as small, but as a rule Tuesday is the
best day on the average. The figures
yesterday were 1900 cattle, 3,0o0 hogs and
$500 sheep. Accordingly all the prices
jumped higher. Hogs got up TO ssoS.
Good lambs to 400 and prime beef to
S7.65. The advance was not extraordinary
for the trend Of prices has been upward
for over a week.
Meeting Of Park Board.
The South Omaha Board Of Park Com
missioners held a special meeting last
night at the offices Of ]. H. Kopietz to
attend TO the details of the monthly
bills for salary and expenses. In add
ton to these items the board decided to
have a number Of trees cut in Spring
Lake park. These trees are a number
which have been crippled by windstorms
and which are ~unsightly. In some parts
the trees are so thick that the grass Will
not grow well. These are to be thinned
out. It is thought this work will cost the
board nothing as the sale Of the wood
taken out will pay the expense of cut
ting. It was expected that the board
might take up the proposition Of purchas-
ing another park. The Barrett tract is
under consideration Nothing was done
in the matter. Two members Of the board
were absent.
