The later car hogs which came in on

light were consigned by the following
regular shipping and stock firms who 90

OF Clearwater; D. McNaghten. Of New

were of varying grades, some fair to good
hogs being in the lot and some which
were not a little mixed, and will sell at the
best possible price,
The roads contributing yesterdays re-
ceipts were as follows: Santa Fe, 8:
Rock Island, 4; Missouri Pacific, 8;
Frisco, 3
The shipments from the Dold plant
yesterday were, three cars from tbs local
division and heavy express business. This
latter branch Is now the heaviest in the
history Of the Wichita house. Tho prompt
attention to all orders either mail direct
from retail trade, their regular travellers,
or telegram, has made for the concern
an enviable reputation for prompt and
careful service, with the natural result
come know that they may at any time
send in hurry order for small amounts
and avail themselves of the express to
get it to them at once. There are now
twelve cars booked for immediate ship
ment.
Quite a group of the band OF Cheyenne
Indians now sojourning IN the city took
street car ride yesterday afternoon 10
the stock yards and among their curiosi-
ties there to be seen looked over the pair
of Charlie Payne's buffalo. TO several
of the braves these were no novelty. as
some of the older bucks had slain many
a one with rifle and poison tipped arrows.
They stood for a long time gazing
thoughtfuIly IF an Indian can think)
muttering and grunting and sign-nakins.
discussing the great size of the big bull
buffalo. They went away evidently pleas
ed with the trip. but no one on earth can
ever tell just when an Indian is really
pleased or really mad. as their stoical
and vacant features are rarely an indica-
ton Of their inner selves or any emo
ton.
The daily comparisons are as follows:
Yesterday, tops, 50. 30; bulk So. 20d3. 80; av-
erage weight, 233; receipts 1904. For Tues
day, tops, $40; bulk, s.. 30d3. BIZ; average
weight, 2SS; receipts, LOGS. For the same
day last week, tops, s3.45; bulk, s3.37lzf
3.4215; average weight, 245; receipts. 703.
A really significant situation occurred
on Tuesday as showing the regular year
in and year out buying position and
strength of the Dold Packing company.
Buyers may come and last for little
while and then go, but every day in the
year the Dold people are on hand to pay
up within close margin of Kansas Citys
bulk prices for their purchases. On the
date above mentioned there were loo
hogs received at the yards coming from
both wagon trade and car shipments
about equally divided. This was a fairy
good run for one day and the unique and
suggestive fact mentioned was that of
ali this large volume of offerings coming
from many sources all but the moiety
and insignificant number of eight were
absorbed by Dold and that, too, at an
unusually early hour Of closing. Seven
of these lonesome eight hogs which mar
rowly missed following the way of their
friends were light, runty lights which the
Montana order especially wanted, ami
were too light for any packery on earth
to use probably. The eighth unfortunate
porker was a piggy SOW cut out from a
car load as too near narrowing and sold
to a neighboring homesteader for an in
vestment This IS record and means that
Dold is after hogs and quantity cuts little
ice.
Other markets yesterday were as fol-
lows: Chicago had expected $1,000 hogs
and received IS. 600, with 6676 left over.
The market was first given as slow,
to 10 cents lower. On the close the bull
letin last announced was: In spite of
the diminishing receipts OF hogs packers
were not disposed to take hold very read
Ia
hogs selling at the lowest figure of the
season" The receipts for the day pre-
vious, Tuesday, were ., 900, and The estl-
mate for today is IS, 900. Kansas City re-
ceived 1855 hogs. against $1,000 on Tues
day. and the market was last given as fol-
lows: Early sales We're to 10 cents
lower. Sales were largely at these prices.
Close was active at TUESDAYS prices
St. Louis was to 10 cents lower, with
s coo hogs in, against 1000 the day before.
Provisions were strong. An unexpected
decrease in the stocks of October ribs OF
100000 pounds for the month helped TO
produce this strength. Packers bought
lard freely. but the large receipts of hogs
checked the advance somewhat. Ribs
closed about TO ~ cents, and lard up
about Is cents.
Yesterday the sausage department at
Dolds turned out, besides an extra heavy
run of all other regular daily supplies,
about 500 pounds of weiner wursts. The
day before there were 1.290 pounds Of this
one article produced, besides all other
lines from this one division. All pig pork
products in fresh meats are now right
in the midst OF large demands from local
city trade and outside customers, pork
sausage in bulk and pork loins being es-
pec.ally strong. The finest effects OF sea
soning and preparing are maintained by
the expert treatment given TO all the
specialties turned out by the sausage de-
partment, and it is rapidly becoming SO
understood by the trade everywhere.
