A scanning of the lists OF all the markets
shows very plainly that the past two
weeks buyers have frantically gathered
up all sorts and conditions of hogs from
any and all quarters, of all grades and
weights, and rushed them into market
without regard to kind or quality, with
the very natural result that all receiving
points have been glutted with lights pigs,
roughs, and badly mixed lots, the bottom
having gone out completely from under
pigs, all over. The high markets, of
course, were responsible for this hit or
miss business. which the subsequent de-
clines effectually checked, and already
the diminished receipts show cleaner
better selected lot of offerings.

statesmen for the Jacob Dold Packing
company of this city. Mr.. Ogden was in
no wise complicated in the fray. and is
eXonerated by the press and all eye-wit-
nesses. He was standing talking on the
walk with two friends when two drunken
men approached his party, and at once
assaulted them with vile epithets and
finally graphing with them with no cause
or reason other than spelling for a row.
Mr.. ogden, in attempting to assist his
friend. was stabbed in the side with a
long clasp knife. infiicting an ugly wound.
from which he will recover. He has many
friends about the plant here who regret
his misfortune, but who are glad it was
no worse. The other victim died al once,
and the assassins were placed under ar
rest.
