Accordingly traders paid little heed to J

Primary receipts three times tho size
of the total a Tear ago led to a reaction
in wheat, but a bullish analysis of spring
crop supplies apparently showing that
tho northwestern states had been put on

offset.

4 Airi.lv-t atllu receipts wero modeiato
today, so that the tulM for the two tlays
th s week foots up only 11,094 head, n
falling orf of ioi0 head us compaied with
a week ugo, but larger thuti a year ngo
by almost 4,tKi head. Atlvlces from olhst
delllriK potnts weie not very encouraging
nnd buyers acted very much us they did
yesterday, that s, held hack delaying the
trade with thy Hppurent idea of learning
more about the condition at other matkwtn
before filling their otders. Thus It hap
pened tho same hs yestertlny, that this
morning whs pretty well advanced before
very much business had been transacted,
nnd It was midday or a little after bt-tor,.
a clearance hud been effected.
Reef steers wero lu very fair dem.uill,
but the trade was slow arid no better
thuii yeslorday. In tart, the trade could
best be dcxcrlhcil as slow nnd steady at
yesterday's decline.
Cowm and heifers welt- alao slow, with
prlres in abuut tho sume nutuhen ai. yes
terduy. The demand was pretty good ut
current prices and everything was cleand
up In the end.

SHKHP-Whlle. the lecelnts of lambs
and sheep were, only fair when compared
with lust Tuesday and two weeks itgn
they were liberal for (his time of the yew
vvjien compared with Mm. snmo day one
I'ear nco. Included In trulnv's stmnlv was
: inulto a spi Inkling of rang sheep, tho bulk
j of which were owes and sold ns feedera.
; An usual of late and at this time of the
yenr the majority of the offerings con-
' Irlsted of fed westerns, there bring more
' fat shet'p than lambs offolvd. Apart frqm
one or two loads here and there of really
good ewes and tnmbs very little If any
other cliQlcn stuff was In. the barn. The
geueial quality ot the supply today and
on- Manila)' was below the standard ot
most days last week.
Fat lambs continued to sell to the best
qdvanlnRe U'U morning, liuyetsf seemed
to want most of the lambs on sale and cut
xx 'result an active trade wan done at
prices fully steady with Mie way the same
elaas of stuff was disposed of on ynstor
duy'ri market. Several loads of fed wool
em lambs biought $7.75, top for the day,
nnd Identical with yesterday's highest
price. Some feeding Iambs sold nt $0.7$.
Tho In itli movement was ns good its could
bo etpeoted nnd some of tho holdings
were cleared lu good a'eason.
As fnr.uevcrnl dyys bick, fat sheep were
as a rule sluw sellers,, vspealnlly anything
that was halt finished or hnt) too much
weight to meet the requirements of tho
packer buyers, The bulk 4if th sheep
offerings consisted of ewes and the buy

Protests from disgruntled citizens ant
aspirants to higher political honor
against tho Omnhn -South Omaha postm
merger weie voiced througu a resolution
Introduced by Councilman J T Alton a 1
the meeting of the South Omaha oount.ll
last night, condemning the action of
Posttvuuiter Ooneral Hitchcock and asking
lhat he nnd Congreisman C. O. Lobecl
take Immediate steps to bring nbout th
te oration of tho order, which goes In t
effect Jnhuary 1. The council passed the
resolution .
In the communication Councilman Alto 1
stated Hint the citizens of the -Magic fit
lu mass convention nnd by the clcul.i
tlon of petitions condemned the merge
Order. TJils convention was attended h
only 121 persons, Including the speakers,
candidates for postmnstershlp, foil'"
women, tour high school students, three
policemen and a trtrl.
This representation. If It might be
termed a representation of South Omaha.
citizens, unanimously voted against the
merger, overlooking the great help the
new system, when put Into effect, will
be lo both cities, thinking only of defeat
ing annexation, which will eventually b
brought about, and tho offices that will
he dispensed with in this way.
Tho resolution dwelt extensively on ths.
amount of business transacted In South
Omaha by the packing Industrie, banks
and other business concerns, holding this
up an n reason why the mercer should b -tesclnded.
No definite reasons were given tn tha
resolution why the, ineger should ba an
nulexl, It simply stated that the amalga
mation of tho two postofflces -would bn
detrimental to South Omaha; that Post
muster Ooneral Hitchcock had acted in
hasto nntl should' reconsider his action,'
It Is to bo taken for granted from tha,
resolution that tha merger' Is a great ln-i
Justice to South Omaha- Tho fact that
the merger will facilitate the handllnir of
the malls, make It noislble to run the
two poatoftlce on 11 moro economical,
baals and In a moro systematic manner'
Is not even considered.

lo the gang politicians, who for their own
lessons nro attempting lo revoke the!
order of tlio t'nltod States pustoffloe. The
latest method of cooking up public oppoil-1

The necessity of making some ohowin'

lln and tho test of the gang will not
oafclly permit such n plum oa the post

fight.
Tim petlAlnn were passed yesterday la
business" houses on Twenty-fourth street.
In most cases tho business men refuee-0,
to sign. The petitions were taken lntu
saloons nnd oven there the circulators
met with a rebuff. City employes who
will not he part of the gang have refused
to sign tho petition. It Is also said that
tho petitions ore not to be sent to Wash
ington, 'but are really being obtained to
present to tho legislature, as nn argument
against annexation.
