HOG MARKET STEADY
Light Saturday Run of Re-
ceipts and Quality Fair.
TOPS ADVANCE TO $3.50
Big Cattle Trade--0ne Fancy
Lot of ll2 Exports.

The local hog market yesterday was
Steady to strong, with a light run of re-
ceipts and quality for the most part fair
iy good. For the most of the day the in
coming receipts were so scattering and
so few that it was not easy to deter
mine a quot&ble market, and the whole
day did not show UP very lively 80 far
as volume OF receipts were concerned
The bulk o: the receipts cams In late, in
fact the trains bearing stock were more
than usually late In arriving. All hogs
offered met with a ready and cordial Ie-
ception, and sold as soon as yarded, and
more would have found equally ready
sale. The pens were empty at the close,
all the buyers being on the alert for az
stun on sale. The tops were 21 cents
above the tops for the day before, and
two punches of hogs varying from good
light stock TO heavy butcher weight
caught this top figure AS an evidence of
the strength of the market yesterday the
two top cars weighed respectively 21S,
and 262 pounds, while the top loads for
Friday selling at sS.62h weighed PA and
2f7 pounds. The heavy rains OF the day
previous extending generally over most
OF the territory tributary TO this mar
check a very heavy Saturday shipment
and this discount was realized, the re-
ceipts being light and the wagon trade
and car stun both showing the decrease
in volume. AS 1t was all the hogs offered
were readily disposed of at prices strong
with the average and bulk of the day be-
fore. The average weight was II pounds
lighter than that Of Friday, but en- the
latter date the hogs were of better grade
and running through the lot much heav-
Ter han OF Saturday. and moro OF them
20 grade up On the whole, while yester-
day was a light day, experiencing the
usual Saturday falling off, coupled with
the wet and heavy roads, the sales and
average conditions were good, all hogs
selling strong, and the feeling being most
ly buOyant hHe the rains of course shut
Off receipts temporarily yesterday, max
Ing 1t difficult to reach shipping stStions
and the market. the ultimate result will
be bound TO affect very materially FIR !
The good Of this market, assuring the corn |
crop in many sections tributary to thds |
market, which means a good Gre p of stock |
hogs and marketable porkers for next |
season.

Quotations on Spanish Fours,

Madrid. July Bo.-Spanish fours closed
today at $500. Gold was quoted at $780,
Paris, July S0.-Spanish tours closed at
SS5215. The tendency of prices on the
bourse today was pretty firm, due to the
fact that the terms of peace are re-
garded as being favorable, in spNs OF
the fact that the United States refuses
TO be ourdened with the Cuban debt Quo
tauons were generally higher, except Gu
Dan obligations, which reacted near the
close. Spanish fours huctuated considera-
bly, and closed with a small improvement.
Berlin, July A-Business was irregular
on the boerse today and Spanish fours
were fairly steady. American securities
and Canadian Pacific shares were dull.
Bank shares were maintained. Industrials
relapsed on realization.

SESSION OF THE HOUSE. Passage of the Bill to Amend the
 Navigation Laws.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15-The House put in a busy day. The time was devoted to the consideration of bills and joint res olutions under the call of committees, and sixteen of more or less public importance were passed. An order was entered for the consideration of the Loud bill relat- ing to second-class mail matter on March 1. and 3, and the order for the consider ation of the bankruptcy bill. which begins tomorrow, was modified so that the final vote shall be taken on Saturday instead of Monday as arranged last week. Payne Rep.) of New York, chairman of called up the bill to amend the naviga- ton laws of the United States. Payne ex- plained that the bill had been prepared signed to protect our sea coast trade along the Pacific Coast with Alaska.
 After some argument the bill was Loud Loud (R.) of California, from the Con- mittee on Postofffces and Post Roads, called up the bill to make it lawful to transmit through the mails private pos tai cards with one-cent stamp affixed. it was very important that the House should act on the bill relating to a di- vision of the law relating to second-class ton bill was being held up, pending the decision of the House on that measure. He asked that March 1 and 2 be devoted to it's consideration.
 Loud then called up bill reported by his committee requiring prepayment of postage on all first-class mail matter, but after brief debate it was recom- mitted.
