RECEIVERS AND SHIPPERS OF GRAIN
Ten years ago Omaha was not on the
map an a grain market. At that time,
except (or home consumption, not a
bushel of sraJn of a-iiy kind was brought
here.
Ten years ago the Omaha Grain ex
change, with somthlnB like fifty mem
bers, oiKMied for buHlneas. Now this same
exchange has 1S2 active members, tho
membership beln limited to 2W. Dur
ing the nine months of this year the ex
citant; l as handled through the Omaha
elevators a total of 4H.122.'M) bushels of
grain, wheat, corn, oats, barley and rye
with every indication that the record of
last year's total receipts, jb,674.7iO, will
be exceeded.
The three remaining months of the
year are looked upon as being the heav
loot, so far as receipts of wheat are con
cerned. The warehouse capacity of Omaha is
ample for carryin close to 10,u(W,W
bushels of grain, thus enabling dealt-ri
to buy end store and take advant&Ke of
market fluctuations.
In the ten years that the Omaha Grain
exchange has Iptn In existence. It has
! rasxed many of the old and well estab
lished markets and now stands second
In the world In the receipts of com;
fourth In the receipts of oU; sixth In
the receipts of wheat and fifth In the
totals of all kinds of grain.
Necoad as Primary Market.
As a primary market It la asserted that
Omaha t-tands about second In total re
ceipts, ixmwc aurpHSfed only by Mlnnenp
oils; Kansas City, St. Ixiulu and Chlcaifo
getting the bulk of their receipts frxim
the primary markets that are outside of
their territory.
The Importance of the Omaha market
has Inert ased from year to year, and
the prices paid here have been abovo
Uioso of . Chlcaxo. Minneapolis, Kansas
City and St Iuls when frelKht charges
are taken Into consideration. As a result
of this, all last year and for months dur
ing the presmit year Omaha brouHht
grain from within .100 miles of Chicago
and went right Into the dooryards of
Minneapolis, Kansas City and SV Louis
and too It away grain that rightfully be
longed to them. - p-77:;.
Market ef the West:
Omaha has had, and for years to come
will have, a market tr the west, north
west and southwest that cannot be
touched by the other grain markets of
the world. Into thoue snctlonB It will
continue to pour Its' grain und grain
products, and so long as tills continues
Omaha will keep on Invading the old
fields and branching off into new ones
for its stocks to sell and mill.
The Omah.i (h-aln exchange occupies
commodious quarters on the seventh floor
of the Brandeis bulldinjr, but next year
It. will rret a ioO,)UO eight-story brick
and steel home of Its own on lots at
Nineteenth and Harney streets Thn

All of the officer are experienced grain
men and have been active here in bust
ness circle for years.
Grain Men Win
in Shrinkage Case
Against Railroads
Omaha Grain exchange members are
feeling pretty good over tho altitudo the
railroads have taken In reference to the
litigation over payment on claims accru
ing by reason of shrinkage of grain while
lu transit.
liver slnco the establishment of thu
Omaha Uiuln exchange, the railroads in
allowing claims for shrlnkago have de
ducted from one-fourth to one-half of
onn per cent, contending that this has
been a natural shrink. Thn balance re
maining on too claims they have allowed.
Several months ago the Omaha grain
exchange, tho first organization of Its
kind In the country to start litigation,
went luto tho United Htutes court aud lu
A suit brought by its atorney, K. l:
Smith, contended that if a railroad re
ceived a consignment of grain, It should
do I Ivor tho Huino quantity at destination.
For Instance, if thn railroad ecceptcd
the Omaha Grain exchange weight lu
shipment and the same weight at destina
tion, there could be no shrinkage and con
sequently thj re should be no deduction for
shrink enroute.
The case went to Judge MrPherKon,
who derided In favor of the grain ex
change. It was expected that the roads
would appeal, but Conrad Ppens, assistant
freight traffic manager of the Hurllng
ton, has notified Secretary Manchester
of the Oinah.t liruln exchango that It will
abide hv thn decision and Issue tariffs
accordingly It M Ix-lloved the other
