One hundred thousand sneep in four days
in South Omaha is one of the finest records
the South Omaha market ever made
Coupled with the fact that the market con-
ditions have been exceptionally good ana
that prices above the average of other years
have been paid, the large receipts are the
cause of general good feeling at the South
Omaha market. The buyers Of the feeder
grades have been active all the week and
this Is shown from the fact that the prices
have not declined more than 80 cents per
hundred in spite Of the extra large ship
ments The receipts bring up the South
| Omaha figures to point where 2l0,0l head
is the actual increase over last year. The
sanguine commission men are predicting an
increase for the year amounting to 5000
/ figures worthy of note in any market
The western sheepmen are shipping earlier
this year on account of dry weather, but
1t is thought that the South Omaha market
has won It's coveted preference within the

the present time, barring none.

has been very active.
Prices for hogs have again risen above
the 50 mark and II is thought the Sep
TENDER prices will be even higher.
