omaha, or TO speak more politely, South
Omaha, Is fast changing its standing as a
stock market and II the reports Of previous
years continue to be smashed up with daily
regularity the packing houses of that city
will take the top position.

receipts Of cattle, the total number being
1921 head, coming in 603 cars, which was
1900 more than the receipts for the same
day OF last year Tuesday was the occa-
sion for an unparalleled avalanche of NUT
ton; 4J,iiO sheep were received In $50 cars.
This is the largest number on record. All Of
this stock has been of the best quality and
no kind of stock is falling Off August 81
was the biggest day that the South Omaha
stock yards ever had.
a summary OF the business done by the
South Omaha market and the activity of
the other larger markets in the country
shows that only Chicago is In the same
class as far as increase is concerned. In
cattle South Omaha breaks even with Chi
cago in gain and distances all the others.
In hogs no othcl market has kept up SO
well and all show some loss.
The supremacy of south Omaha in sheep
is still maintained and there are signs that
IL Will lose its hold on the sheep raisers.
In the last eight months there has been a
gain OF $4,000 over 1909, which was the
record year until this year.
Mnny Records Broken.

records have been broken, notably the fol-
lowing:

the receipts of both sheep and cattle, dur
ing which time there has been 69l ,lS9 head

largest day in point of receipts which the
market has ever known, 40 car loads of
live stock having been yarded and sold at
South Omaha, eighty-seven car loads more
than on any previous day
Notwithstanding the Immense volume of
business that is being handled at the South
Omaha market daily the market continues
in good condition, and the outlet is more
than equal to the heaviest receipts. No
better test OF the stability of the South
Omaha market could be offered than the
business which has been done there this
season, The continued Improvement of
crop conditions over the territory tributary
TO the South Omaha market offers a most
encouraging outlook to the western ship
pers at Che present time.
