CATTLE, HOGS AND SHEEP.
The Banner Week in the History of the Hog
Market-Cattle Selling Equal With
Kansas City.
81 shipped my cattle to Kansas City
Thursday and 1 lost money on them"
"How did that happen?" well, this
market are now paying Kansas City prices
for butchers cattle and when I arrived at
the yards here could not stop because I
had billed through and taken draft for my
stock. Consequently when l arrived In
Kansas City my cattle only brought the
same price they would have brought here
and l lost the difference in freigh. beside
shrinkage and large dockage. No sir.
you will not catch me passing by the
Wichita market again"
Such was the complaint uttered by a
well-known shipper who had just returned
from Kansas City. He was on the yards
here last Wednesday and fed several cars
of fine cattle He was offered the same
price here for his st ock which be obtained
in Kansas City, but he could not accept
the offer on account of having obtained a
draft in advance of his shipment, hence
his complaint when he returned yesterday
evening.
Never since cattle has been sold in this
market has the prospects been as f1atter-
ing as at present. Good butchers cattle
have been advancing in prices for the past
week and in fact all classes OF
cattle offered have went quickly. Ex-
pressions like the above have been heard
quite often in the last few days and many
are the new shippers who are seeking a
market here with the avowed intention of
coming again soon and often. The express
sions, when coupled with the fact that IN
the very near future the Whitaker Pack
ing company will commence the killing OF
cattle on large scale. have tended to In
crease faith in the future greatness OF the
Wichita cattle market. The receipts for
the past week show very large increase.
In the hog department the receipts the
past week were the largest since the open
ing of the market. The total receipts are
almost 800 which are about l 400 more
than any previous week. Eastern mark
cts have taken decided tumble" and
this market in sympathy with its eastern
brethren shows fall of from ~ to 10
cents. For the coming week the outlook
at the present time shows that prices will
be steady in the absence of large runs.
Packers all over the country seem to think
that hogs will be still cheaper during the
coming month of November. Yesterday 3
market was stronger to five cents higher.
Shippers should be careful in sending
their consignments.
There is another new feature of import
ance which has showed great activity
the past week and that is the sheep
market. Heretofore but little attention
has been paid to this branch, but now the
prices for this class of stock are being paid
on the Wichita market.
