Tuesdays close and ribs 10 cents up. Most
Of the leading packers have put up all
dry salt meats 20 cents per hundred on the
strength of the rise. In spite of the fall

bee ntoo high and dear prices the way
provisions have tended, the proportion
being out OF line. On Tuesday some OF
the heaviest buyers at the four leading
western markets bought very sparingly

cash demand and buying by packers

All the five stock journals from Chicago
to the gulf coast speak feelingly Of the
death of Mr.. John Nesbitt, general live
stock agent for the Chicago and Alton
railway. He died al his home in st. Louis
Tuesday morning. aged S. years. He had
been twenty-three years with the Chicago
and Alton and for eighteen years in the
capacity Of general live stock agent, and
was probably more widely known and held
a larger personal acquaintance among
stock men than any general agent in the
country. He was very popular, especially
among the newspaper fraternity, and his
individual efforts made of his road the
greatest live stock carrier in the land and
competitor OF systems having several
times the mileage.
