When the live stock market at South
Omaha opens today It will mark
the biggest day In the history of the
Union Stock yards or the worst. In
either case the stockmen and the yards
will be found prepared, It la said. It all
depends whether the yards continue to
be free from foot"" and mouth disease.
Every Indication strengthens the belief
that the stock yards of Omaha and the
feed lota of Nebraska will be aaved from
the cattle scourge now ragipc over the
..country. Every precaution baa been
taken and will continue to be taken until
11 danger la pasaed.
' If this happy condition exists next
Monday when the market opens for busi
ness, local men say they look to see the
beginning of one of the biggest runs ever
recorded at one market.
Hope to Lift Qaaraatlne.
Tills expectation la based not only cn
the Nebraska cattle shipments of the sea
son, but also upon the fact that many, if
not all. shipments usually billed to Chi'
cago will be transferred to the local
yards by reason of the closing of the Chi
cago yards. This Is, of course, with due
reference to freight rates that may divert
a email amount to smaller marketa. It
Is hoped to lift the quarantine from all
cattle originating la the westers half of
Iowa.
Already the closing of the Chicago mar
keta has made a difference, at the local

firms represented by buyers at the local

Degeneracy, accidents. Increased death

Chairman Wharton said: "We have
