OUR PACKERS LEAD THEM ALL Taota and Pigures from tbo Packing Houses of South Omaha. RAPIDLY LEAVING HER RIVALS BEHIND * Statistic * Thnt Mint bo I'limalng to Tcoplo Interested lu Our Suburb' * Growth Variety of Its 1'roducts ana Tholr Great UouinuU. The columns of the local papers of the city on the Kaw nave recently bcon filled with accounts of the great things which are to come to thtt locality by reason of the fact ti hat Armour & Co. of Chicago will erect a , no'w slaughtering establishment at that paint , and press dispatches of the same tenor have boon sent far and wldo over the oatlro country. The assertion having bcon boldly made In thoio reports that Kansas City would now leave all competitors far behind in the race for supremacy in the beef and hog packing businesses , n fooling of fear was created In some circles that the tide of prosperity had turned from our en terprising suburb of South Omaha to a rival market. Aroprosentatlvo of THE BEE was , therefore , detailed to ascertain what stops were being taken by our packers to keep up with the procession. Tno result of his investigations _ vestigations has boon a most gratifying surprise - . prise end the cold logic of facts anil figures warrants in the strongest terms thu asser tions made lu our head lines that for pluck , push , energy nnd enterprise tbo packers of South Omaha load all others. 1 lini > ro > emmit ut South Oinuhu. The outside estimates rnaJo by the Kansas ' City papers of the expenditures to bo incurred - * currod in the erection of the now buildings there are $750,000. The Scuth Omaha packers ' are now and bavo for several months past bcon engaged lu enlarging tholr already ex tensive plants , and a conservative estimate of tbo cost ot these Improvements places it at a round million of dollars. Sn that , while our neighbors are making a tremendous flour ish of trumpets about a prospective outlay of 9,000 In their miust , our homo packer * , Imccustotnod modesty , are now at work ( penning SKl per cent more money , with scarcely any publio mention. What this enlargement of our packing planU and Industries means can bettor bo understood by our readers when ivo state that upon the completion of the work now in progress the total slaughtering capacity of tbo four Broil house * now at South Omaha will bo Increased from 05 per cent to 75 per cent ; or. in other wordt , equivalent to tbo establishment of three ontlruly now plants X onch of a capacity equal to tha average of the present plants during last Reason. Had tbreo new and separate plants boon built by outside parties , great praise would iloubtlus * have been ncoorJod tbo projectors , and Justly 40.

Great One Week Sale. Remember , these prices arc for This Week Only' . BLRCK DRESS GOODS , procure for the South Omaha packers In the future a supply ot livestock commensurate with their expanded needs. The South Omaha Union Stonk Yards company , under the ublo direction of Presi dent John A. McShnno nnd the courteous and onorgotlc management of General Manager W. N. Babcork and tbolr corp * of able assistants , has In the past always boon keenly alive to the Interests of the South 'Omaha Backers , and It Is not doubted that they will noxv speedily double the capacity ot their yards , shnds , pans , etc. , to care for the largo Increase In live stock receipts which the growing demands of the packers will certainly bring about. Our wldoawako live stock commission men nro expected to rapidly wldon their circle of trade and draw supplies from more distant sources than over before. And , lastly , the railway friends of Omaha are rolled upon to BOO that freight rates are hereafter adjusted upon a basis of fairness , Justice and equality. It Is a notorious fact that rates Into and out of South Omaha in many directions are outrageously discriminative against her packers and in favor of other points , and the wonder Is how our people bavo been able to stand the Injustice o long. But the day Is dawn In gat last and ioon will the Justice of our demands bo recognized and wo bo placed upon tbo basis of rates to which wo are Justly entitled. Then will the Indomitable vim and ontorprlso of our packers begin to reap tholr proper rewards and our maritots assume the proua position for which they nro fitted by our natural geographical location. Will Ho un IncuntlTO to Development. Great aid Is expected In tbo development of our live stock and pacltinir interests by tbo building of tbo proposed Nebraska Central railway and bridge , by which moans many now lines of railway nnd much now territory would bo opened to us upon fav"orablo terms. Somu talk has boon Indulged in also regard ing the extension of the Hastings branch of the Fremont , Elkhorn & Missouri Valley railway westward to Colorado , and of tholr Superior line southwesterly through Kansas to tbo Toxai Panhandle. Both of these ox- tonstonu are badly needed br our South Omaha friends , as they would open up to thorn by alrect lines , fully as short in dis tance as to Kansas City , tbo linmouao ranges of northern Texas , southern Colorado rado and eastern Now Mexico , from whoso well stocked ranches hundreds of thousands of cattle and nhoop would be annually poured Into our stock yards. The oftlcml published statistics of tbo Boards ot Trades of Chicago , Kansas City nnd Omaha for 1801 , show conclusively that tbo South Omaha packers compote more sharply for the live stock offered for snlo in her stock yards than do tholr competitors in the other two proat packing and live stock centers of tbo country , thereby making this the best market for western stock raisers to patronize. Witness the actual tlguros from thooQIclal reports referred to above : Chicago cage packers allied during Jb'Jl 05 per cent of the total receipts of hogs , 07 per cent of the cattlu , and US per cent of the sboop or OAK per cent of all tbo ani mals received. Kansas City killed 73 per cent ot the bos received , 30 par cent of tbo ca'.tlo and 33 per cent ot tbo uhoon or 00 pur cent of all animals received , while South Omaha killed 83 per coat ot tbo hogs , 55 per cent of the cattle and 47 per cent of tbo sheep or 7. ) ner cent of the total receipts of all animals of every kind. So sharp has tho'compotitlon boon between packing and shipping buyers that very fre quently the bulk of the offerings are dis posed of by 8 o'clock in tbo morning. i\or : Incrouilne Demand * . It is estimated that to adequately supply the wauls of the picker * when th'elr now planU nro completed , and also to furnish eastern buyer * with what they need , fully throe times as muur hoits , cattfo nnd snoop inuit bo brought to our stock Yards as bavo heretofore sought that channel. This moans the doubling of the present yard room and other facilities , which will necessitate another largo outlay ot money by the stock yards i-omuuny ) n addition to what they are now spending and tnu add still fur ther lu the business activity and prosperity which aoeiu to lie ahead of the M&cio Cltv In tbo nnar future. It therefore appears that our people bavo no caute to look for any de cadence of business at South Omaha. On the contrary , tbo prominent and energetic packur * now there sreni able to consume all the live stock that is likely to como to them , and toolr marked enterprise in enlarging tholr plants soasoa after Reason is indicative of tholr determination to keep Snutb Omaha lu the front rank of packing center * and to properly take chro of the heaviest runs of live slock tbot the most onthusiastlo citizen of tboMaglo City could hope for. A noteworthy "fact in connection xvlth the development of our South Omaha packing plants is tholr spreading out to nil the branches ot manufacture kindred or Inci dental to the slaughtering business. Whereas , formerly the moats wore prepared for market in the simplest form by the slaughterers and shipped in round lots to ro- banalors at all the principal cities , by whom they wore repacked and sent out to the con sumers , noxv our packers have ample facili ties right at homo for utilizing all portions of the animals and converting them Into various finished commercial products. Vnrloty of South Omaha's Products. It is a daily occurrence to find on their shipping books such Items as dressed beef , pickled beef , dried beef , canned moats of all kinds , fresh pork , smoked , salted and pickled bams , sides and breakfast bacon , sausage fresh and smoked pickled pigs feet ana tripe , lard In every conceivable style of package - ago , lard oil , oleo oil , tallow oil , neatsfoot oil , butlorlne , beef extract , prepared bones , fer tilizers , etc. , etc. , which go direct to every state m the union and to the principal foreign nations of the globe. To prepare those goods in their various forms requires extensive tin shops , box fac tories , coupor shops , etc. , all of which are operated directly by the packing companies. This concentration of packing and manu facturing under a few general managements , redounds largely to the growth of both Omaha ana South Omaha , requiring as they do many fold more employes than the old style houses would have nnodod. Again , In thtso tremendous concerns a per fect system of organization Is possible where by the cost of production and sale is reduced to a minimum , thus bnnollttmg both tbo grower of ( ho live stock and tbo consumer of the products. Competition between the great rival pack- era and markets is very keen , nnd the busi ness is of necessity conducted on a remark ably tine margin of profit ; but br handling immense volumes of goods nnd economical management the big bousos nro enabled to thrive and prosper , whereas if the business was divided amongst a number of small packers and manufacturers tboy would re quire larvor profits to moot the Increased cost of so many separate raauasomen ti. And this extra cost would naturally bo paid cither by the producer or consumer , or by both. NEBRASKA HIBERNIANS. Omnlia Well Itopresontod lu the Anmml Contention ut HnsUnga.

Mr. Durnont stated that ho bad uot come prepared to make a sot speech , Knowing that the manufacturers wore already familiar with the main features of the proposed Ne braska Central scheme ; ttiat bo bad come more with the expectation of answering questions or explaining any points that might not bo fully understood. Tbo speaker explained the relations exist ing between transportation and commerce nnd followed with a brief review of the ad vantages to bo derived from an outlet as pro posed. Ho stated that when tboy first took up the matter they wore of the impression that nil that was required was a bridge to allow the Iowa roads to enter Omaha from Council Bluffs , but they later came to the conclusion that something more was necessary. The roaas wanted entrance to South Omaha as well as to Omaha. Ho regarded the line into South Omaha and Into Iowa as oven of more importance thoa the bridiro. As to the union depot , the speaker thought that no explanation was necessary , as every ono was familiar with the requirements of the olty in that respect.

The past week has boon especially busy nt the yards , nnd stock has brought good prices. The packers report a gain In business of 20 to 33 per cent over the week preceding - coding , and big inquiries from all quarters. The Improvement in the weather has placed more stock upon the market , nnd ut the same tlmo Increased the demand for cured moats. Stocks of provisious are reported light as compared with a year ago , prices steady and inclined to bo stronger as the season ad vances. The local improvements in progress at three of the houses are noted as intorfor- inc slightly with the present working capac ity of those establishments , ono having shut down its cattle killing bouse entirely. When completed the facilities ot those three concerns - corns will bo largely increased. Packers af firm that the bog receipts will increase from week to week uunncr tbo remainder of the summer packing season and that the year will show a decided advance over 1891. It is thought most of tbo bogs received will bo consumed hero. In anticipation of enlarged receipts the Union Stock Yards company as well as the packing houses are very mate rially adding to tholr faculties for handling stock. , It is rumored somewhat vaguely that two other laruo packers are about to erect boused at South Omaha. In the Jobbing trade the increase for the past four months over the corresponding p'orlod in 1801 varies , la different lines , from 10 per oont to 00 per cent. Up to April 1 , the Increase was much greater than Hlnco that date in most branches , owing to the ex tremely unfavorable condition of the weather during April and Muy. Perhaps the most encouraclng feature of the commercial situation during the last three months Is exhibited by the relative number of failures. During March. April nnd May , 1891 , there wore 102 failures In Nebraska , with liabilities of $022,700 and assets of 8J34.0J3 , leaving n not loss of $187- 709. During tbo same months in the present year tbo totul number was forty-nine , the total liabilities $422,033 , tbo total assets & ) i5- 000. and the not loss nut f70,833. In this con nection it U interesting to note that reports from tbo interior ot tbo stnto show a hotter feeling among the smaller retail dealer ? . There is a good deal of complaint of the dullness of the retail trade In Omaha. Never theless , Jobbers report very satisfactory col lections and banks all bavo ntvallablo funds largely lu excess of requirements. NAMED THE OTHERS.
