While the new year holiday had Its
nppreciable effect on the live stock re-
ceipts at the local yards yesterday,
yet the receipts were In q measure
satisfactory. a fair amount OF business
was doue and the management Of the
yards still have an abiding faith In
much better business during the year
just begun than for any year since the
yards have been built. The Indications.
too, all point in this direction. and
there is every reason to believe that
before the year Is very far advanced
the expectations of the management
Will be realized. There are already
strong efforts being made looking to
this end and other influences are to be
brought to beai soon which will greatly
aid in accomplishing the work laid
out
