5000 pounds express, besides heavy wagon
shipments and local trade.
The boom yesterday IN the hog business
was very refreshing, and every one ex-
perienced something of the old-time en-
thusiasm. Though there was an unex-
pected heavy run Of receipts, and though
they mostly arrived late nearly all were
readily disposed of, with little sorting,
any other receiving point in the west.
They were mostly good, desirable butcher
hogs, and the local packing interest was
keen to get them, just as has been re-
peatedly affirmed in these columns when
the receipts were hardly enough to make
a quotable market. Yesterday only proved
the truth of the assertion, and also that
southern Kansas and Oklahoma shippers
can not afford to pass this market with
fat hogs.
Average weight OF hogs at Chicago last
week was 242 pounds, against 251 pounds

There was considerable interest shown
inthe provision trade, the past week. at
tended with ample offerings OF product,
and a fairly steady market for leading
articles closing somewhat hrmer than a
week ago for short RIB sides. and moder-
ately easier for other articles. Current
distribution is liberal. the export move
ment Of product manifesting an enlarging
tendency. The current marketing of hogs
has evidently been somewhat enlarged by
increased prevalence OF maladies among
hogs in some sections Of the west"
