Grain Receipts
Make Big Gain
Three Times as Great First Six Days
of March as for Same Period
Last Year.
Grain receipts on the Omaha market for
the first six days of March are three times
as great as during the same six daya laat
year, and almost equal to the receipts for
the entire month of 1908.
The telegraph wires reaching out from
Omaha in every direction are drawing the
grain from the country as they flash $L1J
for wheat; 63 cent for corn and 56 centa
for oats. i
The receipts for the first six daya reached
963 carloads when Saturday's report waa
made up Monday morning. Last year 306
cars arrived during the same period.
Wheat receipts are especially heavy.
Monday seventy-eight cars were reported
on the break up track by the railroads.
The average dally receipts will run be
tween twenty-five and forty cars. The
Monday arrival ofrorn was eighty-seven
cars and of oats twrTity-six carloads, which
is Just eleven cars Vss than the amount
recblved a week ago, when the railroads
brought in 222 cars of all grain.
If the receipts continue, March will be the
record month In the history of the Omaha
grain market. '

WOOL MEN ROAST BOSTON
Growers and Bankers Disgusted at
Robber Prices Paid.
OMAHA STORAGE ONLY SOLUTION
With Eaatern Market Quetlaa; Lowest
Price at 1 Sixteen Cents, Some
Wyomlngr Men Are Paid
Only Eleven.
With the lowest grade of wool quoted
at 16 centa In Boston, wool Interests of
Omaha aa well as the bankera and busi
ness men, are disgusted with the reports
that growers in the west have been
"fleeced" even as their flocks were clipped
last spring, by settlements made on the
baala of 11 and 1 cents per pound by the
Boston commission houses.
As the report comes from officers of the
National Wool Growers' aeaoclatlon, It la
accepted aa authoritative that many
growers who consigned their clips to Boston
are receiving such ridiculously low prlcos
for their wool prices which will soon put
the wool barona in the ranka of bankrupta
unless they control their cllpa until they
are ready to dispose of them.
Reports from Boaton (Monday morning
quoted the various wools at the following
prloea:
Territory. 16 to 24 rents; scoured 40 to
60 cents; California, IS to 22 cents; pulled,
36 to 63 cents; one-quarter and one-half
blood unwashed fleeces, 28 to 31 centa;
Oregon, 38 to 31 centa; Ohio, 60 centa;
Texas, IT to 31 centa.
Bl Sale, Good Demand.
The week's sales are reported heavy and
the demand good, the following being the
report on the condition of the market on
western wools during the week:
"New Arlsona wools continue to arrive
in Boston. Dealers are holding them at
high prices, which make the scoured
product cost from 69 to 6S cents. Tba

week's business In old territory comprlaed
small lots from 6.000 to 26,000 pounds each
ot Montana and Wyoming at from 16 to
K centa for fine, fine medium and medium;
about 100,000 pounds of fine Nevada at it
cents, and 76.000 pounds of three-eighths
blood at 24 centa. Sales of California have
been confined largely to northern at 21 to
22 cents."
'We have just about made up our mlndt
that the Omaha storage proposition offer!
the only solution for the wool growers,"
said John Bruger of Rlverton, Wyo., who
was at the stock yarda Monday with some
sheep.
Tribune Shows up thleage,
"The trimming which growers have re
ceived at the hands ot Boston and the fight
Chicago newspapers are making to have
the wool tariff reduced, which will take
the plna from under the growers, shows
Chicago Is no sincere friend of the growers."
Mr. Bruger had a copy of 'an editorial
from the Chicago Tribune, which ha said
had been widely published In Wyoming
and Montana to give growers warning of
the attitude of the big interests In Chi
cago. "High duties on wool have not stimulated
domestic production as it waa predicted
they would," the Chicago Tribune remarked
in ita issue of February 15. "The Rocky
mountain sheep owners have simply been
able to make an unreasonable profit."
From what the wool growers say wher
they come to Omaha It la evident the rd
celpts of the 19US clip at .Omaha will be
heavy, according to those Interested in the
storage plants.
