Fred Deweber, Arlington.
John Gallogly Atkinson.
Eugene Battan. Hastings.
These men were elected officers Of the
Federation of Nebraska Retailers, and
Omaha was selected as the next place of
meeting at the closing session yesterday.
Fred Diers was reelected president of
the organization, although he announced
that he did not wish to serve for another
year because of his personal affairs. But
he bowed to the wish of the convention as
ne said he realized the work would be
much lighter this year because r. D. Nc
Fadden, field secretary, would be able to
relieve him of large share of 1t.
Not a vote was cast against Omaha as
the next meeting place of the convention.
Invitations were read from the Commercial
clubs of Hastings, Lincoln and Omaha.
The applause which greeted the reading
of the Omaha invitation showed clearly
the way the wind blew, and a motion was
at once put and carried without a dissent
ing voice to hold the convention in Omaha
next year.
Task of Giving Thanks.
The resolution committee reported that 1t
was overwhelmed with the task of drawing
a resolution which would sufficiently thank
Omaha and the Commercial club for the
magnificent manner in which they enter
talned the delegates and asked the con-
vention to express its thanks. This was
done and the committee was asked to draw
up a suitable resolution. ~
Omaha was given credit for the large
attendance at the convention. 1t was stated
that the advertising given the convention
by the publicity department of the Com
merclal club was largely, responsible for
the large registration of delegates. The
books showed a registration of nearly 800.
S. L. Mains deputy state food commits
sioner, responded to an invitation to a1-
dress the convention and he told of the
work done by his department to see that
the laws Of Nebraska were upheld He
asked tAa cooperation of all the mer-
chants in the enforcement OF these laws.
He said Nebraska was too great a dairy
state to talk about laws for the promotion
Of the use OF oleo and told OF the efforts
which were being made to increase the size
Of package goods.
The convention adopted resolution con-
eemning the proposed parcels post meas
ure as being against the interests of the
retailers.
The following were among the resolutions
adopted by the associations:
That we. as merchants should devote
more time and study to politics locally,
also In state and nation, and give our loyal
support to those who will best represent
our interests, and as far as possible to have
good representation Of merchants in ses-
stons OF the legislature

The East Omaha car was coming down

O'Clock in the morning. II. j. KIok said

he saw the switch engine bearing down

brakes. The car was brought to a stand
stll just at the edge OF the tracks. The
engineer on the switch engine also showed
presence Of mind by opening the throttle
and putting on speed for in this way he
calculated on clearing the crossing ahead

Present Price Likely to GO Much
Higher Yet.
NE PACKER IS BEING SQUEEZED
Man Who Thought Seven Dollars
High is Caught.
NEW RECORD ON OMAHA MARKET
Ten-FOrty-Five Paid for One Load
Thursday and supply is short
mt All of the Big
Markets.
Fifteen dollar hogs!

Fifteen dollar hogs!
That's the prediction made by a South
Omaha man, who is in close touch with the
market. He says It will not surprise him
II hogs go to S15 per 100 pounds before the
bubble bursts"
'Of course, IL is bubble right now" he
argues for even $40 is an unnatural price
for hogs and 1t is not warranted by natural
conditions. So long as the price was going
up a nickel or a dime at time, It seemed
like an outcome of the scarcity, but when
It begins to jump by quarters, then the
only rational conclusion is that there's
something back of it all more potent than
Just supply and demand.
who do l think 1t IS? Well, it's some-
body not far away from the Board of Trade
building in Chicago. The South Omaha
boys have had this in mind for several
days, and are keeping as close to shore
as possible. 1t is the general belief here
abouts that one Of the big packing firms,
whose name has been much in the papers
Of late, is getting beautifully squeezed in
pork deal The head of this firm thought
when hogs touched S. it was too high,
and said he was willing to sell provisions
on that basis When the IS mark was
reached. he was still of that opinion. Now
1t Is up to $40 and is going up by wild
jumps. He is said to have sold a lot Of
provisions on the 81 and IS basis. and just
how he Is going to get out is now keeping
him up at nights
Little Being Sailed.
mot great deal of this SO pork is going
into the cellars The supply of hogs on
the market is scarcely more than what is
required for the fresh meat trade so that
the actual stock of provisions is not being
extended by the costly pork. But lot of
stuff packed months ago is coming out now
at the fancy figure. How long it will keep
up can't be told; but the short supply of
hogs is favorable to the corner that is ap-
parently in full swing, and it's no wild
guess to say that somebody's going to get
an awful bump when the blow does fall.
1t Will be worse than the lard deal one of
the packers tried to pull off some years
ago. His firm stu has some of that lard
for sale.
Hogs sold in South Omaha yesterday for
E1045, the highest price ever paid at the To-
cal yards On other markets the upturn
was still noticeable.
Cheap stuff on Market.
Another feature of the situation is that
animals that a year ago would not be
looked at by the packers are being sold now
at fairly good prices. For example, sheep
that wouldn't have been touched last seas
on, being worth less than dollar hun
dred, are now going at 81 and $3.50, and
cows that were being turned over to dairy
men are being taken on by the packers at
prices around IS to $3.50
Receipts continue light at all big markets.
The reports for the first week in March
show a shortage of $4,000 head as COM
! pared with the same time last year.
