The roads contributing to yesterday

According to the records of the joint
agency of the railroads at the stock yards,
the business done at the yards so far in
1898 is the largest since the heavy years of
1891 and 1892 Then the amount or stock
handled was in excess of this year, but
it was mostly cattle. these being the years
of large cattle trade. but branch of this
trade was mostly feeders en- route and not
sale cattle to be disposed of at these
yards. Between '92 and 9S there was no
year which approached this one so far in
stock handled al the yards, and what
is moro it is mostly hogs and all shipped
to the market and sold here. Ia Fegru-
airy, 1891, there were S04 cars handled at
the yards, and March, April May and
June there were respectively S4S, S51, 966
and $50. In 1892 there were in and cut for
the months from and including January
and June, the following: 592, 52S, $40, 517.
1913, 649. Up to and including the month
of May this year the cars in and out were
ISL, 524, 521, go, and $50. These figures
for this year show more real local BUSH
ness done than the other two years,
since they represent cattle AMI hog ship
ments, mostly the latter, which were han
died on the open market and sold, either
for local packing or shipment on east
ern orders, principally the former. This
is a very satisfactory and encouraging
showing, and at the present rate of in
crease and conservative estimates for
the coming season, not only this month
of June but the entire year will no doubt
eclipse any for several years past. Mr..
Allison, the joint agent. is handling the
business with great credit to himself and
the yards patrons satisfaction as well. The
prompt and efficient service he is render
ing to all alike. is very satisfactory. With
a prospective corn crop and universal re-
ports as to stock hogs and cattle being
fed in the territory tributary to these
yards. 1898 will be the banner year.
Chicago had estimated $4,000 hogs for
yesterday and got about half that num-
Der. The estimate for today as &c. 300. Ev-
identity the lower the receipts fall. the
higher they raise the estimate. The esti-
mate for this week at that point is for
100, 600 hogs, the same as was estimated
for last week.
Official receipts at Kansas City last
week were 24,66O cattle, 7O79O hogs and
"A 06S cattle.
There were $1,000 hogs at Indianapolis
last week, 5000 less than a year ago. So
far this year the total is 609, 600; an in
crease of 900.
Stocks of provisions in Chicago at the
close of the month will, it is estimated,
show 1000 barrels of regular pork and
40, 900 barrels of old pork, 10000 ties of lard
and 24OOO0OO pounds of short ribs.
Packers at Chicago last week bought
153 900 hogs, or 5000 less than the previ-
Gus week and $4,000 less than year
ago.
Last months receipts OF hogs at the
stock yards will reach about SlO.-
900. the largest May receipts on record,
50, 900 more than d year ago and about
70. 900 more than May. 1892, the previous
