Big Gains in
Their Business
Have Aggregate Output for the Year
of More Than Hundred Twenty
One Million Dollars.

The South Omaha packers partook Of the
general prosperity OF the year and as a
result the general output Of the packers is
above 1921, 900 900. In the meantime from
the treasure Of wealth thus created over
5000 wage-earners have made their liveli-
hood and the general peace within their
ranks would Indicate conditions generally
fair. The packing companies expended
about S35. OOo.O 900 for cattle, $4,000. 900 for
hogs and $4,000 900 for sheep. making a
grand total Of s71.0OO,OOO. The expense for
labor during the year was fully 5000. 900,
an average Of about 5000 to each laborer
employed.
Each Of the packing houses shows an
Increase In the number Of cattle and sheep
killed for the year, but a decrease in the
number Of hogs. with the exception Of the
Omaha Packing company, where the MUM
Der killed was 800, 900, an increase Of nearly
100000 head.
The general increase in values Of meats
account for an increase in the value OF
the output of about 100000 over 1908
Financial conditions about the packine
houses have been generally more easy thar

UNUSUAL YEAR in WEATHER
Among the Freaks Are Wet and Warm
November and Unprecedent-
edIy Cold December.

The following summary, made from the
records of the local office, United States
weather bureau at Omaha, shows the re-
markable and unusual weather conditions
that occurred in Omaha during the year
1909.
A fall Of fifty-seven degrees in tempera-
ture within thirty-six hours occurred on
January 4 and 5, reaching 10 degrees below
zero by midnight of the 5th. That being
the lowest temperature recorded during the
year. All wind velocity records of this
office were broken on January 2S, when
slxty-six miles per hour were recorded.
The lowest temperature recorded in any
May during the last thlrty-nine years was
% degrees on May 1 of this year. This
record was followed five days later by q
temperature of 50 degrees, which has
never been exceeded but once during the
thirty-nine years, 81 degrees having been
recorded in May, 1895.
The past August was the warmest rec
orded with one exception, that OF 1881. The
highest temperature Of the past summer,
s8 degrees. was recorded on the 18th OF
this month.
The first frost of the season was a kill
ing one, and occurred on October II. A
record for the earliest snowfall Of the
season was also made October II.
November was an unusually warm and
wet month. and was followed by an al
most unprecedented cod December. The
long continued cold weather in December

the most remarkable recorded.

omaha may we'll rejoice this New Years
day over the comparative showing with
last year in real estate transfers.
The total for the year ending yesterday
Is $12, S61, Sss-sometfing over 100000 a
month. The increase over the year ending
Dc oember 81. 1908, is S3,O9S, 496. The year
1907 was a bigger one THIN 1908, but 1898
has gone S1.1OO,O 900 over the 1907 record.
Comparative figures in farm and, city
mortgages and mortgage releases also
show up in favor OF 1909. Last year uSO
there were recorded S7,S5O,OOS in city mort
cages. and this shows how money is being
used. changing hands, being loaned. The
courts are practically devoid of mortgage
foreclosure cases. and this means that all
this mortgage business indicates business
loans and successful ones.
