The Wichita market yesterday was on
the average quoted on a range of 5 to

day being about 711 cents higher, and
many of the few sales going at a full 10
cents higher. There was hardly enough

and what there was went readily and at
good stiff prices generally, as compared
With Saturdays average prices. Prac-
tically only one car load was received and
this was not better than fair, the weight
being light and the quality being rather
ON the common. The wagon hogs were
also Hight in run and some fair to good
IN quality. The tops were at 50 80 fifteen
cents above the top for Saturday, and
this top price went for hogs weighing
IN two cases close around 200 pounds. and
in two more, 272 and 27S. It was a light
DAY and consequently dull, the demand be-
Ing good but the supply falling off, a COL
dition not at all unlocked for. Everything
was sold that was offered, and the best
prices the grade Of quality would per-
init. Some Of the wagon hogs showed
up we'll in weight, but the average was
light and the stuff thin. All the regular
buyers were on the ground and could
have used mucl more than came in, Dold
