Says Omaha Market
for Hay Not Glutted
That there is no foundation for the re
port that the Omaha hay market waa
g'.utlcd by the arrival of l.V cars, as given
in nn evening newspaper Tnesi'av, is the
assertion of C. M. Hlce of the Csso
Milling company. "One hundred and
thhty flve cars could never bother h"
hay market In Omaha." said Mr. Hlce.
"That number of cars wouldn't begin to
coer our company's outgoing shipments,
let alone the combined shipments of the
city. It seems Omaha doesn't reaiue
bow big the Omaha hay market Is. It
would tako consldetabe more than i:S
