HOGS AND CATTLE.
What Was Done at the Stock Yards the Past
Week-PriceS Remain Steady.
The past week has shown large de-
crease IN the receipts from the previous
week owing probably to the condition OF
the roads throughout southern Kansas
but from all the regular shipping points
comes the cheering news that the coming
week will witness some very large ship
ments and these will be Of choice hogs
which are calculated to bring high prices.
The commission firms all seem to be in
the best OF spirits and sanguine Of the sue
cess of the market as well as the extent of
the business that will be done. This, it
should be said is largely increai sng-with
the exception of this week which shows a
decrease of about one-third from last week
but on the same basis rs the preceding
week-and their faith in the Wichita
market was never stronger than at pres
ent. Another thing that makes their
happiness complete is the fact that the
Wichita hog market is finding place, on
account of its extensive increases, among
the reports of the packing centers.
No great fluctuations were observed in
the market this week with the exception
of Friday when prices tumbled seven and
one-half to ten cents lower
J.ian Tuesday. Saturday, how
ever, revived the market and the
close was five cents higher than Friday
and about the same as closing day last
week. Yesterdays top prices were s39715
for choice hogs with the receipts $50 head.
In the cattle department the interest
taken by home commission men and firms
from other points has not been allowed to
lag. Train after train of cattle stop here
and the pick is taken from them while
here. Prices have ruled steady through
out, Yesterdays receipts showed 3S1 head
The total receipts for the week were
5000 head CT hogs and 1000 head of cattle.
