The total for the week la atlll very small, and even allowing for the fact that Monday was a Holiday, thla doea not com pare very favorably with 11,110 last week, 10.221 two waska ago and 10,031 last year. So far aa the packera were eooeeraod the market was another rather slow affair. Shipper trade waa active, order buyara tak ing a pretty good a ha re of the run on early rounds at prices that wale strong to aa much aa 10c up, er genei-ll. u nickel higher than yesterday, J ' Ths killer trade was never very active. Shipping activity helped aellera out on the better klnda, and quite a bit of atoll moved oo packing account at prices that were stsady ta as much aa a nickel higher. Buy ers were all slow about taking hold, though, and It took moat of the forenoon to make anything like a clearance at the early ar rivals. Last trains were being yarded at the time of cloelng tab) report. Buyero ehowed little Interest in anything except weighty classes, which up to this time had sold In about the same notches all day. MUod and butcaera were alow snd, if anything, easier on late rounds, while lights were sticky and hard to sell at any pries. The general market looked a little higher, despite ths lata weak noes The spread is steadily growing wider, there being a good ahowlng today all the way from II 16 ta 10.20, with quite a prickling aa high aa 110.10, ths top.

Early eetlmatea placed the aupply at forty-four loads, or 10.100 head, but lodging by the amount at atuff reported back at 11 a'olock these Aguree will probably bo overran. So far this week total offerings are 11,111 head, aa compared with 21,114 laat week, ft. Ill twe weeks ago and 11,134 a year go. The early rounds of the lamb market lacked the life ehown on previous deya of the week, Packera were all looking around, but were talking generally easier prlcee. while aellera thought that with small rune and stronger prices everywhere else, they were entitled to aeme advance here. What little atuff sold early looked about etaady. one bunch af lamba waa sold aa high aa 113. II, the now top made yesterday, while good handy weight owe made a new mark for the aeaaon of ft.lf, coming within tic of the record for the yards. A fair ta pretty eood kind sold around fl.71OI.l0.- A load of clipped lamba made fll.10, a new yard record. When the bulk of the eapvly did atart ta move. It waa at prloaa that were ateady to e much as 10c above yeaterday. A few vara of choice lambu sold aa high aa 111 10 (all.ll, the latter price being a new record for this pelat, with the big end of. the de sirable atuff around 111.21 and lean. The general run af the offerings waa of a very good quality. When the later lamba began romlng In. they found early arrivals pretty well cleared and llttla dolna.

UNION PACIFIC IS OPEN jNWYOMING Blockade Which Tied Up Traf ' fic for Sixteen Honrs is Cleared Up. swnw form teet deep After being completely tied up for sixteen hours, Union Pacific trains have begun to move again, and it is expected that passenger traffic along this line will be returned to normal before many more hours. . ' For sixteen hours not a train' moved on the Union Pacific between. Laramie and Rawlings, in Wyoming.' A snow blockade of thirty miles pre vented the turning of a wheel. Four feet of snow covered the track for this distance and, with a fierce wind blowing the snow so that a person could not see his hand extended out in front of him, it was found impossi ble to clear away the blockade until the storm abated sufficiently for the crews to go to work. Over twenty trains were tied up by the blockade. Many of these trains were annulled and resumed their journey as sections of other trains. Several trains coming into Omaha from the west are running in four and five sections. , The blockade has been cleared away and as soon as the annulled trains reach their destinations it is believed the traffic will be quickly re- , stored to normal.
