which sold at the top of the bulk.
Jeff Houston shipped up a car Of hogs
from Ponca City on the late market. They
were very fair hogs, selling without dock
on the close
The cattle trade yesterday was light,
only nominal coloring of market. what
stock there was went at good, steady
prices, and was of fair quality. The
week has been very satisfactory to all
concerned in the cattle division, prices,
markets and activity, as well as the daily
supply being all that could be expected.
Yesterday the few recorded sales were
as follows: One COW, weight $40, sold
at S3.35 per cwt. One COW. weight $50,
ceiling at $3.50. One cow, weight $50, and
selling at $500.
The shipments out last night Of hogs
bought on this market on foreign orders
were one double deck east, and three
cars on the Bennett oMntana order which
is for light weight hogs. This last or
der is assuming proportions very salts
factory to all parties concerned. There
was a time when many regular shippers
to this market entertained the belief that
only fat butcher hogs could be used here,
and accordingly reserved their shipments
of that class of hogs for this market.
cOnsgning their lighter hogs elsewhere
Now there is a permanent order for light
hogs here, and any farmer or shipper
having a mixed lot of hogs can not posi-
bly, better himself by shipping TO other
points, since the demand for fat hogs
will always take whatever of this grade
he may have, and the sorted, thin hogs
will receive equally prompt attention,
since there is a regular and permanent
demand for this line of pig stock also.
