with car of hogs He is one Of the old
reliable shippers and a successful hog
raiser. He received a fair price for his
load yesterday, taken by Dold. He now
has about zoo more head of hogs being
fed for this market. The good hogs, he
says. are about cleaned out of his neigh
borhood. There is plenty Of old corn all
around there, which several breeders will
feed out to stock hogs. There are some
fears for soft wheat in that vicinity, the
frosts doing the damage. There are some
stocker cattle there which will be mar
keted in the early fall
Norris & YaZel of Furley were present
on the market with two cars Of hogs, 153
IN all. Mr.. Norris reports that on account
Of the short corn crop last season a large
percentage of the hogs in his section were
hurried into market, often sooner than
they were ready. His firm are feeding and
shipping ali the tine. There are some
stock cattle there, but not many fat butch
er stock His firm has shipped into the
market here carloads of fat cattle in
the past few weeks, but are about run
out now
r. A. Anderson of Wellington was at
the yards with car ofhogs. He reports
desirable ohgs as scarce around his sec
ton. but considerable being fattened for
early market.
D. M Hutchinson of Haverhill was in
with a car of hogs on the late market.
He says there are lots Of hogs, and good
ones. too. around his section. There IS
an abundance of corn and 1t is being 1ed
TO all the stock hogs obtainable. He is
largo buyer all through that section and
ships in to this market as fast as he
gets a carload.
T. H Neal ofLeon was in among the
late arrivals, and disposed Of his carload
at once, the hogs being attended to by
lantern light. He also reports lots or
hogs in his neighborhood and plenty OF
feed for them. He says there are about
three or four carloads Of fat cattle
around there, and quite a large number
of stock cattle. His firm are regular and

Ed Rumsey of the Kansas & Texas Coal
company was a visitor at the yards yes
terday during the busy part of the after
noon.
Hon. George T. Cubban, the newly elect
ed alderman from the Fourth ward, was
caller at the yards. After he had gone
it leaked out that he had tried to sup
press his humiliating failure as city
farmer. He is a god fellow, a successful
business man and will be crowning glory
70 the picturesque group Of city solcns, but
as a farmer in his front yard he inglor-
iously fell down. II seems he planted q
little plat Of ground on his place on Mar
ket street with oats. and put them in so
deep and so thick that only a small part
came up, and the lonely spears that did
were the first to get nipped by the cruel
frost, and now his bushel Of seed is gone
and only a barren waste 70 tell the tale.
He does not say much, but livid disgust
IS marked all over his classic features.
The Dold company yesterday shipped
put from their plant as follows: One car
IF packing-house products to Mexia, /
Texx, one car of the same to Abilene, !
Tex, and one car of lard, containing 5000 /
pounds of their superb lard, to Kansas |
City. All the products Of this widely !
Known house are in great demand, and |
shipments from the Wichita plant go over
LII this country and parts of Europe. !
Several of their specialties have a fame |
I'll their own, being approached by no |
,ther abatoir in the land. The shipments
rom the Wichita house so far this week, /
outside of their jobbing trade, is little
,ver 300, 900 pounds. This means mail Or
ers of mixed produce in small lots, and |
he iobbing business Will amount to far
-reater still for the same time. This rep
esents a vast outlay of capital, native
logs and cattle bought and consumed, as
veil as men employed and wages and sal
ries paid out.
The railroads doing the hauling bust
ess yesterday were as follows: Santa Fe,
Rock Island, 5: Missouri Pacific, 6, and
he Frisco 3. This includes cars which
anne in by late delayed train and do not
ppear among the days sales.
