STOCK YARD NOTES.

The past week has been a busy one al
the stock yards. The receipts show a de-
cided increase, and prices hold their own
The commission men are in better spirits
and they one and all unite in saying that
the hog business will be something Won
derful this winter. The hog receipts fol
the week will foot up about 5000, while
cattle receipts will be- about !, 100.
superintendent Dulaney, of the Stock
Yards company, says that the new yards
will be rushed to completion as soon as the
lumber can be secured. A force will be
put on tomorrow and platforms around
the yards will be widened from five feet,
the present width, to ten feet. New shutes,
gates, etc, will be put in. When finished
the shutes will number fourteen, and this
will be sufficient TO unload a train of cat

work on the new switches and side tracks
to the yards. Over $4,000 Will be spent in
this work.
