On the face of the statistics for July the
South Omaha cattle market shows a de
crease of a considerable number from last
year's figures. But a little atudy of the
figures as they are leaves much for the
South Omaha men Interested In Its markets
to consider with encouragement. It Is a
well known fact that native cattle and oorn
fed stuff hu amounted td very little during
the month. The reason for this was the
high price of corn last fall and the fact that
Just at the time when the local men ordi
narily bought their feeders the financial
disturbance was at Its height and not many
farmera and feeders had free capital enough
to go It without borrowing. No money was
to be had,- so they left the feed lots empty.
This showed to the greatest figure In the
shipments of natives and fat stock during
July. Good stock during th month brought
as high as $8.05 per 100, but llttl was to be
had at that figure.
On the other hand, the South Omaha
market received more western cattle and

The hearing of the complaint of the
Florence Lumber and Coal company and
the Cralg-Kati Construction comapny
against the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis
A Omaha road before the Nebraska State
Railway commission has been set for Sep
tember 9. C. S. Elgutter is representing the
complainants and J. B. Sheehan of St
Paul the railroad company.
In July Mr. Elgutter filed two complaints
with the commission against the railroad
company, one for the Florence Lumber and
Coal company and one for the Cralg-Kats
Construction company. In which he allege.
the Omhha road Is discriminating against
the town of Florence In the matter of rates
to the great detriment of that towp. He
complains of exorbitant and unlawful
freight rates for carload lots of building
material, lumber, sand, rock and crushed
stone from Omaha to Florence, a distance
of five miles.
In the case of the lumber company repa
ration Is asked for excess freight charges
amounting to about $1,000 and the construe
tlon company Is asking for a return of
about $3,500 overcharges. The overcharge
to the construction company was on about
SflO cars of crushed stone which waa used
In building the Fort Calhoun macadamized
road for the county. The material waa
.hipped from March 15 to December 1, 1907,
and the rate charged by the railroad com'
pany wa. 2 cent, per hundred or about
S12 a car. The rates were ralapd about
the time the construction company waa
ready to ship Its material.
Prior to the raise In freight rates ln
March, 1H07, the railroads made a general
charge from Omaha to Florence of $5 a
car for such low grade material ao the
raise waa more than double the old rate
except that the railroads still maintain the
old rate of 6 a car on coal and Ice.
On lumber a raise was made from i
cents per hundred to 4 cents per hundred
or 24 a car. Ry making this raise from
Omaha to Florence the Omaha road, which
has a monopoly on the business, the com
plalnants aver, has practically removed
Florence from fifty to 100 miles distant to
Omaha on a tariff basis and haa discrim
inated against concerns requiring carload
rates.
To show the discrimination the petition
recites that the charge for shipping the
crushed stone from Weeping Water to
Omaha Is the same aa from Omaha to
Florence, while the former haul Is fifty
miles, as against five miles to Florence.
The complainants want Florence put on
the same barls as other suburbs of Omaha,
where hauls of from five to eight miles
are made, at the rate of from 2 to $6 per
car. ' -. .

CROPS BRING MILLENNIUM
Urala'aaa Hay Yields In Nebraska
This Year Will De Very
Abandant.
If an alfalfa, field Is a hog's Idea of
heaven, barn lofts full of wild and timothy
hay horses' conception of paradise, and long
ricks of clover cows' Idea of the happy
hunting ground, Nebraska stock will realise
the millennium during the fall and winter
of 1D08.
Reports received at the Omaha Oraln ex
change Saturday indicate that the great
plains are tired of producing nothing but
buffalo grass and saga brush. They are
fields of alfalfa, clover, timothy and the
finest ot wild hay. The crop of hay Is to
be more abundant than ever and the ranch
man as well as the farmer may well feel
that "prosperity has hung up her hat and
settled down to stay In the west."
This is the summary of the crop. In the
oplnon of the leading grain men of Omaha;
Alfalfa No such a crop was ever pro
duced before. Millions of acres In Kansas,
Nebraska, Wyoming. Colorado and South
Dakota tempt the smiling hogs as never be
fore. Corn A little backward and could stand a
little rain, but will return mora than an
average crop.
Spring Wheat The best quality for years
and yielding well.
Oats Crop Is very large, and the quality
Is from eight to ten pounds better on the
bushel than last year.
Rye Rye has turned out an average crop.
Wild and Timothy Hay I'nuaually boun

quantity, better In quality.

RADSTREET'I REVIEW OP TRADE
General Tendency Is In Direction ot
Moderate Improvement.
NEW YORK. Aug. 1. Bradstreef. aay.:
Trade, crop and Industrial report, show
little change from last week, but general
tendencies and certainly sentiment are In
the direction ot moderate Improvement.
Preparations for the opening of fall Job
bing trade in the first week of August
are making at all cities, buyers are gath
ering ln la run numbers and a full repre
sentation with Increased buying is looked
for. At a few cities July trade has not
been up to expectations, but at New York,
where a moderate increase ln activity la
noted, there has been a disposition to
await forthcoming large auction sales of
cotton snd woolen goods as offering a
line en future demand. Best reports of
fall trade come from the central west,
northwest and the south. Everywhere,
however, the testimony Is that buying Is
of a conservative character. In Industry
there are evidences of expansion In some
lines and of contraction In others. Fac
tor! generally vre running simply "on
orders. .
