The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1898-12-01

day there Is a condition of affairs prevail
ing at this point which ought to impress
with serious interest every farmer who
ships his own hogs, and every buying
firm as well, in Oklahoma and Southern
Kansas. When a mans pocketbook is
hit favorably and his own best interests
from a monetary and profit making point
are catered to, it stands to reason he will
listen with care. There is right here now
at Wichita perhaps the strongest and
highest hog market anywhere in the land.
The demand for some time has been great
~ in excess of the supply, and 200 more
hogs a day could be quickly handled and
sold with the ease of the present re-
ceipts, and a comparison of this market
with others by consulting the daily re-
ports will convince any one that this is
so. AS a recorded fact, the daily prices
here are very high, and the buying ele-
ment is every night disappointed because
there were not enough hogs. Yesterday
for instance the bulk at Kansas City was
IS. l5'13.3o, with the market a shade lower.
While at Wichita it was So 1913. 20, with
the market higher. This very narrow
range has been the rule for some time
This market is daily paying close 10 Kan
sas City prices for hogs and a live keen
call is always present for them The best
hogs receive the best prices, and all hogs

are given the best attention and bought
at all they are worth. The Dold Packing
company is enjoying a heavy and con-
stantly growing trade and are out after
hogs every day in the year and paying al
ways the very highest market prices, con-
sonant with universal conditions in the
provision pit and the live hog industry.
This fact may be attested by one who
viii take the pains TO study other mark
cts with this one. There is also now
good shipping demand per permanent cas-
tern order, and altogether the result IS
very logically that no Kansas or Okla |
homa shipper can possibly better MS own
stock interests or receive any better treat |
ment or higher prices than a Wichita. |
Try II few times and see for yourself. |
