prizes ADVANCING
UPWARD TREND ~ CLEARLY IN
EVIDENCE.

The following Views expressed by
w II. scnellbcrg. traffic manager Of
the Union stockyards company Of
Omaha. will doubtless be read with
interest by stockmcn In Utah and
other stock raising states:
The general rains that have pre-
vailed throughout Nebraska and
neighboring states during the entire
spring and early summer have thor
oughly soaked the fields and pas
lures. practically assuring the corn
belt states Of the largest yield In
their history. Pastures, AZ this
time. are IN better condition than
ever before. with every indication
OF an abundance OF tall feed. The
alfalfa producing sections of Ne
braeka, ne we'll az surrounding
states, report the firv and second
cutting a. excellent IN both quality
and quantity. and this fact. together
with the enormous amount Of prai-
RE hay being made this year and
the assurance OF the largest grain
crop In the history OF the corn belt
states. all indicate there will be the
heaviest demand In many years for
feeder cattle and sheep.
AT this early date the prospects
for more than an ample supply Of
feed on the farms OF the corn grow
ing states. coupled with a general
scgrchy Of feeding stock IN those
sections, has created a general ton
dency toward an upward trend in
prices ON the South Omaha market
for feeder cattle and sheep. During
the pas, week there has been a
marked increase IN orders received
by commission men and traders op-
Grating on the South Omaha mar
ket over other yoam at this time,
and n present reports OF range stuff
TO be marketed can be relied upon.

there would not be enough feeder

The marketing OF range cattle
ana sheep has not yet begun IN real
earnest. but taking Into consldera-
ton the fact that all the old time

when tho range run Is on In fun

enough TO meet the enormous do

present Inquiries at tho South oma-
ha market. n they can be taken ~
any criterion. Feeder cattle and
sheep have been selling on an even
baAis. and higher. than Chicago. and
every indication points 20 these

high prices. Furthermore. with the
crop OF grass over practically the
