Southern Market Affects Hogs
1t is q far call from the feed lots of |
Nebraskas farms to the cotton fields of
the south, and yet the connection be-
tween the two is such that the local hog |
market yesterday was practically at a
standstil in South Omaha There were
only sixty carloads of hogs received and
all were disposed Of but hog men stated
that unless some way is found to move
the cotton Of the south the hog market
will be shot TO pieces for some time TO
come. According to one Of the large hog
dealers at the yards, this season generally
brings out the call for hog meat Cor the
negroes and cotton field workers of the
south. This year the cotton market %
tied up on account of the war and in con-
sequence the planters and the cotton men
are not buying pork meat and bacon
The temper of the market yesterday was
decidedly gloomy in view Of the continual
ton of the war
Horse Prices Way Up.
Horsemen at the yards say that the
erroneous report Of foreign horse buyers
has sent the prices soaring. A week ago
report got out that army men from Eu-
rope were buying horses for the war In
consequence it is said the farmers
promptly ran the prices up and now every
the eyes of his speculative owner.
AS a matter of fact 1t Is said that an
| order for $1,000 horses was placed in Can
ada markets by the belligerents. This or
der was then subdivided. About 100 or 125
horses were purchased at the local yards
for the war, it is said. The prices paid
ranged from $40 to S125. the last figure
| being the final word of the purchasers.
Now IT is said the farmers are holding
their stock away up in the air and in
consequence things are a bit slow. The
horse dealers are the innocent bystand-
ers in the case and are suffering.
Back from state Fair.
Tired, but enthusiastic, the local dele
cation from the state fair arrived home
last night after a big day at the capital
city. There was goodly turn out con-
sidering the weather and all reported an
enjoyable time A number have already
begun planning for the visit to the state
farm, which will come some time within
the next sixty days. This is the big day
and everybody with a drop of foot ball
spirit joins the crowd
Bought Too Much.
Every mail brings us notices of higher
| prices and many merchants are taking
advantage of the situation and are mark
ing the goods bought at the old prices
! in conformity with the new prices. We
are not going to do that here at Flynn's
We figured on a big business this fall
II and bought heavier than usual We are
not looking for big prices, but we are
looking for big business, and every Gus
toner that helps us to it will be rewarded
by better values. Every one knows the
character of Flynn's clothes. The stock
is bigger and better than ever before. In
our children's departments you will find
better values than you can find anywhere
outside OF this house. John Flynn Co.
