Brief Mention.

The hog receipts for the week have been
way below expectations and the quality
has averaged rather rough and uneven.
The market has been an advancing one
sad today's market shows an advance of
10 cents over closing day of last week.
There is a strong feeling in the market. If
the weather should get warm hogs may
decline 21Z@5c by the middle of next
week. Our packers want four times the
number Of hogs they are now getting. The
market closed strong. Our market is
growing and we are getting shippers every
day who become convinced that this is the
market for them. There has been little
life in any of the other markets during the
week and prices in nearly all lines have
been about steady. There is little move
ment in the grain trade and prices remain
unchanged.

The Wich ia horse and mule market is
growing 50 fast that there is already some
talk OF forming syndicate of gentlemen
iu this city interested in this line of bust
ness who Will build large pens and stables
near the Wichita Union Stock yards
where they Will concentrate this branch of
business that they may be located con-
yenient 20 Loading and shipping facilities.
There is a large shipping demand at pres
ent on all good stock. There are BUYERS
Oh our market nearly every day from
southern and eastern cities looking for
good horses and mules and are ready TO
DAY top pl ices for the same. Farmers and
stockmen will find this q most advantage
GUS market in which to dispose of their
horses and mules. The stock Yards COM
pany have at the new yard the very best of
facilities for loading unloading and caring
for this class of stock.
To correct an erroneous idea that some
shippers and stockmen have concerning
the capacity of our packing houses and the
number of hogs which can De used TO ad
vantage and which are actually wanted by
our packers, we Wish TO say that our pres
ent receipts are less than oue-tourth what
our packers want. In conversation with
one of our packers yesterday he said tell
the shippers and farmers of this country
that we are not getting oue-fourth rs
many hogs as we want and need TO run
our business to advantage. The packers
here would be glad to handle from 5000 to
& 600 hogs daily and the market would hold
steady with such receipts.
