Livestock Personal Notes.

The management OF the local stock
yards and the commission men doing
business there found occasion for sat
isiaction yesterday, not only because
the receipts were very good. but be-
cause the market for hogs, OF which
the receipts mostly consisted. was con-
siderably higher and consignments
Drought better prices by several cents
than on the day previous. The outlook
was reported very ilattering for good
hog receipts and for continued good
prices. The packing company bougat
seven hundred hogs yesterday ut
the advanced prices. Naturally this
institution was. less jubilaut al the
higher prices for hogs than any con-
ccfn at the yards, especially as prices
Tor packing house products are re-
ported TO be low. About 10 hogs were
killed.
Ut the nine cars of hogs received at
the yards yesterday, the Fort Worth
Lave otuck Commission company han
dled seven cars and topped the mar
ket at $3.50, and made several sales
ut 50. 40 ana $3.i5.
The top load was sent In by Sadler &
Spelce OF Honey Grove. and were very
line packers. MIR Spelce, who accom-
panied the consignment. said that he
tried this market as an experiment.
and got more for the hogs than he
had expected. and liked this market SO
well that he would follow with other
shipments.
Among the other consignments were
ore car of hogs each lrum j. w.
Adams. Meridian; j. u. Parks. Merid-
in; w. NJ. Butler Gainesville. First

The visitors to San Antonio TO at
tend the live stock convention began
to arrive In considerable numbers In
the city yesterday on the return trip.
Among them the railroad live stock
representatives and the commission
men are conspicuous. They report,
however, that but little business was
done in either OF these lines. as II was
a little too early to begin work for the
grass cattle, All Of the returning visi-
tors, however, report a most pleasant
trip and pronounce San Antonio people
experts In the noble art of entertain
Ing, The keys OF the city were turned
over to the visitors and everything
was done to make their visit memoir
able for Its pleasantness. 1t is whis-
pered that the Alamo city will be u
hard worker Tor the convention OF the
Cattle Raisers' association In 1897, and
| Fort Worth will have to look well to
1t that the convention which she has
! come to regard rs her own Is not taken
| from her tor that year. II Will be re-
membered that delegates were here
last year Ia force to solicit the CON
vention for this year, and 1t is most
likely that the delegates VIII lie here
from that city In March In still greater
numbers TO work In the effort to win
the convention next year
nhe returning stoclmen nCree that
one of the most interesting discussions
/ OF the last day OF the convention was
that precipitated by the resolution In
! troduced by NJ. SAMSON requesting
congress to levy tariff on cattle ''suf-
ficient to protect the interests OF cattle
growers in the United States" one
prominent delegate from Fort Worth
was misquoted on his return yesterday
in q casual expression made concerning
the resolution and the disposition made
of 1t.
ne p's'n truth p, as this gentleman
/ explained II, Is that the resolution was
! declared inadmissable by the chairman
on account of a previous resolution
introduced by Captain Lyle against
any expressions regarding govern
mental policies, which was adopted by
| the convention.
Manager W. e. Skinner OF the For,
Worth stock yards, was among the
/ mernbers OF the Fort Worth dclcga Hon
