month OF May on a plan similar to the in
door meet held in February at the South
Omaha Live Stock exchange. The meeting
In the winter was such a great success
that the management was encouraged to
prepare for the spring field meet. The out
door contest will be held under the aus
plces OF the South Omaha Young Mems
Christian association. J. Dean Ringer is
the general manager of the meet and Is
planning to enlist the interest Of fully 100
boys from the grades. who will compete
for the honors by schools. Three large PEN
nants have been secured as trophies, and
will be awarded to the successful schools
! which won the highest number of points in
the February meet. Similar or better tro-
phles will be secured for the outdoor con-
test. The object in the end is to increase
the interest Of the boys in the affairs Of
the Young Mems Christian association.
A Week of Records.
The week closing Saturday, in the South
Omaha live stock circles, has been one Of
record breaking on nearly every line. The
highest prices ever paid were offered for
hogs, sheep and certain grades Of cattle.
The price of hogs struck the highest point
Friday and Saturday when the best brought
@1o.75. The average was also higher than
ever before. In spite of the high prices the
receipt of hogs continues to fall below the
record of last year. At present the de-
crease is $4,000. The indications are there
fore that the year will be light in receipts
and that prices will continue high. The
prices paid for sheep were u~nequalled.
Lambs sold as high as SOTO, which is a
record many cents higher than any previous
year. Cattle sold for feeders Friday at
$3.50 which was a record price for that
grade. Thursday IS was paid for good
beef steers. The best feature of the cattle
market is the steady increase of receipts
over last year. The increase to date is
nearly 1900. Last year was a record year
so it is likely that 1910 will be the banner
year in cattle.
