President Wattle, of in. Omaha
Council Bluff. Ptreet Railway company. Is
till consulting- with his operating depart
ment as to th. Issue of tranafers by the
cross-town line In Bouth Omaha. This
was the purport of a reply received from
him yeaterday while the Commerolal club
was la session at Its ' weekly meeting.
About a week ago a deputation from the
club vlMted him a. to the fulfilment of
a promise that transfer, .hould be granted
at either O or N .treet.. But as soon
as cro..-town .ervlce was started the
transfer point waa made Twenty-fourth
and Vinton. The effect of this has been
not only to take people doing business at
the stockyards right through to Omaha,
but to prevent stockyards employee and
others doing business In that locality
spending the money they were accus
tomed to In the city or South Omaha.
There was no dlscu.sloa at th. Com
mercial club yeaterday on the matter. It
w.. decided to await President Wattles'
deelalon for another week, but the feeling
of the members was decidedly Indicated.
"He distinctly made the promise of the
transfer, at the Exchange meeting," .aid
. member In conversation. "We certainly
will Insist upon that even If we have to
br nn the matter before the state railway
commission." That observation may he
taken as Indicative of the feeling of the
club as It Is of the business people of
the city.
1 Extension of Tannins Bo.lneae.
The Commercial club ye.terday decided
to help the Omaha Robe and Tanning
company In securing a site for the esten
sion of Its business. The business Is at
present located at Twenty-seventh and M
streets, but the proprietor. John Wollerth,
has made so good that he wlnhes to ex
tend It ramifications. He has recently
turned the concern Into an Incorporated
company with ICS 000 capital for the pur
pose of engaging extensively In the manu
facture of leather harness and sheep lined
rmnvaas coats In edd.tton to his present
tanning, fur goods and robe business,

Sixty-three cars of hogs ere reported In
U. Bouts Omaha maiket yeaterday, mak
ing the total for the week 25,300 head, a.
against 20,700 for the same days last week
and 39,100 head a year ago. The rush of
early buying brought the top price up to
17.70. and for a while the market was very
active at or around that figure. However,
before all, had a chance to unload, there
cams a lull In the market, which closed at
10 cents lower than the earlier figure.
However, the bulk of all the hog. wa.
.old at 17.60 to S7.60, as against bulk prices
of 17-35 to $7.45 yesterday. The top price,
$7.70, was 16 cent, higher than anything
bought yesterday.
Commercial Clob Dinner.
At the meeting of the Commercial club
no definite arrangements were made for
the club dinner next February. The gen
eral sentiment appear, to be In favor of
a dollar dinner, but the difficulty seem, to
be In arranging a price that will cover
the extra, and .till keep the club clear of
a deflcjt upon the proposition. The club
does not wish to make anything, but It
does not desire to get Into debt over the
affair. But while these details are being
discussed, the feeling among the business
people generally is that the dinner is a
good thing for the city, and that when It I.
at once definitely launched It will be as
successful as last year. If not more so.
