w. S. Wallace, hog buyer for the Dold
Packing company, spent Sunday at the
fine suburban residence of A. ". Wal
lace northwest of town. He had a fine
time, and was contemplating taking in
the social entertainment given at the farm
last evening.
The roads doing the hauling business
yesterday were as follows: Santa Fe,

The shipments Of hogs yesterday bought
on this market and consigned on eastern
orders, were three cars, with still de-
mand for more.
At st. Louis Saturday the National
Live Stock Reporter reported the hog
market as very lightly supplied, and the
representation good so far as II went The
main advance for that day was on butcher
hogs.

Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas will raise
this year 100, 100000 bushels Of wheat, COM
pared with IS. 900, 900 bushels last year.

The Drovers' Telegram says: "A Wich-
tia packer has put on the market a brand
or sausage to be known as philippine
Dewey brand" The above is the new
product lately placed upon the market by
the local house of the Jacob Dold Pack
ing company, extended mention of which
was made in these columns.
From the Cincinnati Price Current of
Thursday: quite a decrease in the mar
keting of hogs is shown in the records
for the past week. Western killings have
aggregated $4,000. compared with $50, 600
the preceding week, and 525 900 two weeks
ago. For corresponding time last year
the number was 100000. From March
the total is 5,455, 0Oo against 4. 4S5, 900 year
ago. Decrease for the week 70 900, and
increase for the season 10000, compared
with last year. The quality continues
good in most instances"
From Drovers' Telegram. Kansas City:
y. Martin Jones. manager Of Dold's pack
ing plant in this city, in regard 10 the
reduction by France of duties on Ameri-
can meats, says: II have not studied the
treaty carefully, but In common with all
the meat packers, our company is natu-
rally well pleased With it. The tariff
France has levied on our meats has been
exorbitant and II has been as difficult
to carry on a large business with that
country as with Mexico. By reducing
the duty on meats one-half and on lard
compounds one-third a good market fo-
our products will be opened there The
most encouraging feature of the agree
ment, however, viewed from our stand |
point, is the probable effect the reduction |
will have on other continental nations. |
At present England distributes nearly all |
IF our export business. The only mar /
let we have been able to open in Germany |
5 for lards. greases and the cheaper pro- !
lucts. l look for Germany and Italy to !
'ollow the lead of France in this mat
er, and that will, of course, mean very |
arge increase in the export business of |
he packing houses"
