CHICAGO, Dec. 30.-We desire to call
the attention of country shippers of dress
ed hogs to the fact that they cannot be too
careful in selecting and shipping their
lots They should see that they are pro-
perly dressed and placed in clean cars,
with sufficient straw underneath them to
keep them from being marked. Care
should be taken to ship hogs of nearly an
equal weight, either, heavy or light. as
such lots command better prices than
mixed, uneven lots. although the latter
may be we'll fattened and clean lots are
presented for sale and can be guaranteed
as such by the seller, it naturally results
10 com petition between buyers and
finally in disposal at their ful value.
They should be marked with care so that
no trouble will arise On their arrival here.
A list of weights should be forwarded by
mail as early as conv. v.euient, as it is i'm
possible to sell consignments unless &C
companied with list, as buyers will not
make bid for them. If country shippers
will act with care in their sections and in
their shipments they will be more than
repaid for their trouble,

''If Illinois should be entitled to eigh-
teen mem bers under the new apportion-
ment. the state would be divided into six
districts, and, as Republican legislature
would make the districts. the probabilities
are that four of the districts would be
Republican and two Democratic. In the
four Republican districts the Republicans
would elect eight members and the Dem
ocrats would elect four members and the
Republicans two. which would make
the state ten Republicans and eight Dem
ocrats. If the state should be entitled tc
nineteen. there would be one odd Repu6-
lican district. giving the Republicans
eleven to eight.
