Cfty's Funds.

Although last week the stock yards at
South Omaha did not equal the siN-day
record OF the Chicago market for the re-
ceipts Of sheep, they beat their own best
record by 1900. In round numbers 1877 900
sheep were yarded during the six working
days OF last week against $4,000 for the
similar period Of 1909. Most Of these sheep
are now being dispersed through Nebraska
and Iowa, and when they come back fat
to the market there is every possibility Of
other records being made and broken
state of City's Funds.
FROM statement issued by City Clerk
Good showing the condition Of the funds
from September to October 10, inclusive,
II appears that the receipts from all
sources amounted to 1922 OS6.35 and the dis
bursements to S30,33S.6O. This expenditure
Is below the average for month during
the entire year. However there has not
been yet any very heavy drafts on the

one-third of the total expenses Of the city.

expended monthly for paving, grading,
construction Of sewers and sidewalks.
