HOG MARKET STRONG
Good Supply But Quality
Generally Poor.
TOPS STILL ON 1925
Active Demand for Hogs
Supply insufficient.

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
Strong. with a fairly liberal supply of
hogs. Steady, shade higher and strong
were the early reports from other west
ern markets and the local market was Of
course affected by these first reports.
Nevertheless, there was al all times a
Strong tone to the local market and it
was in most cases actuated by its own
conditions There was a better run of re-
ceipts than the day before, and all the
offerings received in time for inspection
and bidding were at once snapped up.
There was a good, strong demand all day
and all fat hogs of any kind were sum-
marily absorbed and at the best market
prices possible. There was a good sup
ply of wagon hogs, one commission firm
alone disposing of 249 hogs in this di-
vision. and all the other brokers likewise
having q liberal run from this depart
rnent The run of car hogs also was
better than either the day before or fo-
several days, and altogether the day was
good in point OF receipts. AS for quality
it may be said that the grade for the day
was generally poor, the average OF the
Car hogs being undesirable, and mostly
light weights. The average was only 30
bounds, and this is extra light. COM
pared with the past week and more. The
offerings came in in scattering lots, the
first lot TO cross the scales being a car
load OF light hogs From then on the
dealings were altogether local trade up
70 q late hour in the afternoon. These
offerings, however, were enough 10 alb
sorb the attention Of both buyers and
commission firms. They came in in large
and small punches and enlivened the mar
ket all along until the car stuff COM
menced 10 arrive This class of receipts
when they did arrive came in literally
up 10 a late hour and after the open mar
ket had closed there arrived two more,
too late for satisfactory daylight inspec-
ton. The Dold company was the only
buyer on the market, but they readily
took in all hogs for sale, including the
car stuff and the extra heavy run of
Wagon hogs. Their buying capacity was
not anywhere near exhausted, since they
we're on the market for as much more as
was offered. Good hogs sold strong all
day and this market compared very ia

gree's unanimous denomination by the
Republican state convention is conceded
to be certainty by the crowd of dele

sion. A guard of marines was posted
at the entrance to the grounds. Colonel

flag, which tluttered to the breeze AL
the members of the committee raised
their hats and cheered the stars and
stripes. The approaches to the grounds
at either end Of the street were patrolled
by squads of the guardia civile in order
that the commissioners might not be
moleSted.
A widow and two children, evidently
persons of refinement, but in abject
want, approached General Wade, the
president of the commission, and plead
ed for relief. The widow and children
were seated in the dining room of the
hotel and given hearty meal Others
in need were equally well treated, all
who applied receiving relief of some
character.
The commissioners had nothing to
say concerning the report of a protest
at the length of time required by the
Spaniards for evacuation, denying all
knowledge of such a matter. They
maintain close reserve.
Major General Allison, who sprained
his ankle by falling over a hatch on
board the Resolute is still on that ves-
