HOG MARKET SIEAOY
Good Monday Run and De-
mand Strong.
TOPS REST ON 1892 IL
Cattle Steady, Good Receipts
and Grades Mixed.
TOPS REST ON 1892 IL

The Wichita hog market yesterday ruled
steady, with varying conditions of affairs
through the day The early part of the
day was dull. there being a very light
line of receipts in and the absence Of a
session OF the Chicago Board Of Trade
made trading rather precarious, so far as
the first part Of the day was concerned.
This condition held this way until about
time 10 close, when reports began to
come in from nearly all the roads Of hogs
due TO arrive consigned TO this point 1t
was long after dark when the last Of the
car nogs were weighed pand transferred,
but ali interests were present and the
stock ably taken care Of. The demand was
strong all day, the local packing interest
being on the market for all butcher hogs
obtainabie. Dold bought freely, in fact
was the only bidder for fat and heavy
hogs, suitable for immediate slaughter,
anG the Bennett order was also in for
any and all light and young stock hogs.
The receipts were very good, even for
Monday at least for several Mondays of
late. The total number of hogs received
and sold were ahead of Saturday, the
same day last week and the same day
last year. 1t was unlocked for that yes
LeIOdy SHOuIQ snow up very 1aUIerlnR
line Of offerings and though they mostly
came in late, nevertheless they were all
readily taken and at prices fairly steady
with Saturdays average and in line with
all other western markets. The weight
was generally good, it being 16 pounds
heavier than on Saturday and just the
same as Monday of last week. Other
markets reported only steady and a ten
dency to lower tone. There was no pro-
vision market, owing to the day being
a legal holiday, celebrated as such in most
OF the big live stock centers. The top
yesterday was within 21a cents of the top
for Saturday, and no hogs were offered
so good as the bulk of the sale hogs Sat
urday While the weight yesterday was
noticeably heavier, and more heavy hogs
came in, the lots were generally mixed
more or less with coarse and rough stock,
and packers running in with the better
grades. There were very few lights Of
fered, the tendency being the other way.
AS for well finished and evenly running
plump hogs. these were not so much in
evidence as on Saturday. All hogs offered
were sold. and without any pickering, and
more would have found an equally ready
sale. 1t was in all a very satisfactory
Monday, and the prospects are good for
q continued attractive run today.

t. bigilsr grade Frequently it is
benefcicial to pupils to Spenl two
years in one grade. The aim Of
pupils should he to get an education
and not merely to pass from grade
TO gra lie. If, however, the pupils
make constant effort throughout the
year they will be we'll prepared for
the next grade. Tie teachers are
making strenuous rifnrts TO prepare

with all their efforts there mlv be
pupil who will not realize until toe

hurried by war department officials.
The reference in Admiral Dewey
dispatch to the forces being organized
by Aquinaldo had the effect of disturb
ing the equanimity of officials whose
ideas of permanent occupation of the
Philippines by United States forces
have developed definitely in the last
week, but the benefits to be gained
through Admiral Dewey's amicable re-
lations with the insurgents were clearly
recognized.
No disposition is manifested to place
too much reliance in the sort of assist
ance, after the discouraging experience
with the Cubans,s who were unable TO
fulfill the promises made in their behalf
before hostiiities began. A determine
ton was expressed on all SIDES TO make
Admiral Dewey independent OF all for
eign assistance at the earliest possible
time.
