rhs local livestock market uHuer-
~, M important changes yesterday,
IA i'm hogs would have brought the
| Ast price OF the day. but no strictly
mime hogs were offered on the mar
vi Prices ranged from $3.25g3!i5. and
very few were good enough to bring
| the latter figure
The sale Of the Alvarado cattle has
b.en something of a disappointment
not only for the owners, but for cat
u,.uen generally who thought that the
cattle would not only top the market
and bring the best prices OF the sea-
sou. but would in addition show just
what kind OF cattle can be raised ana
led in Texas.
The news OF the decline of from ten
IN fifteen cents in the northern cattle
markets was very unwelcome news to
M cattlemen, and while 1t had TO be
endured, II somewhat checked the en-
thusiastic hopes that n permanent and
much better market would be AFFORDED
IN the near future. Prices were not as
high Yesterday as for some days past,
bnt IL Is hoped that a reaction for the
better will ensue soon.
In the meantime while the local mar
xet Is Of course greatly affected by the
state OF the northern markets the tone
remains firm, and especially for rogs
reasonably good price Is offered, The
market may be occasionally at the low
point that discoureges stockmen. but
the prevailing tone, as contrastsl with
he northern markets is sufficiently fav-
prab,e to induce continued shipments
10 this place.
President Dee Of the packing hous e
company, who was expected to arrive
lie first Of this week, has not vet come
IN. and his arrival Is now prat iicaily
Indefinite, although IT Is announced
hat he will arrive this wreK. When
be comes some important steps may
be taken for the extension OF the pack
ng house business in Fort Worth.
