sign TO this market, were on the late
market with two cars of very fair hogs,
one Of which was good enough to take
the top price for the day, the s3.65 mark
This was a load Of weu-fed medium heavy
hogs, running even and showing d trim
/ attractive lot. The other car was a lit
/ tie mixed. bearing some good fairly fat
/ hogs, with sprinkling Of lights. the lat
/ ter selling well up to Bennett, who Is
/ on the deal for all such grade OF stock as
come in. Mr.. Horton was in charge OF the

/ Gus IN his section, and the prospect for
the coming seasons shipment Of hogs
very good.
Paugh & Granville OF Sedgwick were
shippers Of very fair medium light hogs.
which took a price close TO the top for
the day, Dold taking the lot. Charlie
Granville was in charge OF the shipment.
and he says that there is very promising
outlook for stock hogs for next season,
the young pig crop being generally very
satisfactory. There is no disease in his
locality anywhere and everything points
TO a very good outlook for shipping hogs

JEFF Houston OF Ponca City shipped Up
a car Of hogs to Dold on the early market
which showed up fair mediums and no
dockage.
Joe Knoblauch of CoIwich was in with
a car Of fair medium weight hogs, selling
without dock on the early market
A P Butcher of Ooatville was on the
market with car load Of rair light hogs
which sold early for a strong price
The dockage yesterday for hogs was
again very light, as has been the case
for several days, in fact all this week,
a significant fact as showing that regu-
lar buyers for this market are exercising
more care in picking out shipping hogs
in the country. This is a very desirable
condition OF affairs for all concerned, as
a light dock is always more satisfactory
TO buyer and seller alike.
