HOG MARKET STEADY
Very Light Day Even For
Saturday.
TOPS REACH 1855
Market Active and Demand
d--SuppIy OFF,
1855

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
hardly enough alive to MAKE a quotable
market The usual Saturday lethargy
was very evident all day, and just little
more so. There was very little business
transacted, both the wagon trade and the
car stuff being very meager and thin
80 far as receipts were concerned. On
Friday, the day before, the receipts were
me heaviest since the big squirt IN the
middle of last month, and that with the
regular Saturday Indifference of shippers
undoubtedly accounted for the lack Of
hogs at the yards. So far as the receipts
went, the market was fairly quotable as
steady. No sales were recorded at any
decline from Fridays average prices. On
~ three loads were received at the yards,
and these with one car left over from Fri
day were the only sole offerings on the
market through the day The wagon
trade was likewise light and the business
of the day was done up early. The tone
Of the market was good; there was no
drag or lukewarmness manifested in the
transactions. the few offerings being read
lily absorbed by buyers, Dold taking about
all there was in sight, all the better grades
going to him. the quality was fair for the
stuff on sale, about the same os on the
DAY previous. The tops were $3.65, only
cents below the tops of the day before,
and the quality was In no sense near SO
good. The very few receipts came in
early and the business for the day was
done in good season. and all the hogs Of
fered, sold by the time for the close. The
demand was good and greatly in excess
OF the supply, much more could have been
used than was actually bought. The day
closed with a strong, buoyant feeling, the
supply being below the call. Following
are the sales:

opened easy, with prices l to points I'M

and favorable crop accounts. Following
the call the bear crowd made several at

attended with rather Indifferent success,
inasmuch as each point decline revealed
quite a bunch of limited investment buy

DRY GOODS MARKET.

rises during the week. The reduction in
bleached cotton has been followed by fair
trading, at least enough to tighten the

quiet. There have been several heavy
orders for drills to dyed brown for gov
eminent use" Outside of these there has
been no movement of consequence. In

Historian Bancroft records that
James Wilson Marshall entered the
service of John A. Suffer in July
1915. Early in the afternoon of Mon
day, the oath of January, 1848, while
sauntering along the tail race inspecI-
ing the work, Marshall noticed yellow
particles mingled with the excavatet
earth which had been washed by the
late rains. He gave it little heed a

state. He went away from California,
finally, and never came back. His
grave is in the burial ground of the
