stantly shipped from Texas to outside
markets. the receipts at the Fort
Worth yards hold up well and are salts

an Increase at any time would Of course
be heartily welcomed. Notwlthstand-
ing the fact that the receipts OF hogs
for the past few months have been
steadily on the Increase, the new pack
ing company has redeemed the promise
made ut the outset that Ii would take
all porkers suitable for packing that
/ might come. And while the market
has at some times been low the con-
slgnOrs to this market have almost IN
variably been satisfied with the sales
made. by taking NIL that came the
packing house has taxed Its storage ca
pacity, and lately considerable ship
ments of products have been made to
Chicago. The packing house yesterday

were killed.

demand for some time TO come. II not
