SHIPPERS AND NOTES


fast as shipped out. They average about
two cars week all the time.
c. F. Quigley Of Medford was present
| with a car of lights. He is anextensive
cattle dealer in that part of the territory.
He says shipping hogs are not so plentiful
from there just now. that heretofore he
has averaged about two cars week, and
! now only one can be obtained. Wheat
! harvest has commenced there, and on
his way in he saw several fields in shock.
/ There will be more of It, he says, than
last year.
! c. G. Handy of Norwich was on the
market with car load Of mediums, sold
to Dold. He reports not many fat>hogs
| left in his part OF the country. that
farmers are fast getting rid Of them be-
fore harvest, and this he accounts for the
glut of thin and light hogs. Stock hogs,
he says. are plenty and a good crop COM
ing in, and ne looks for a god supply
next season.
I. NJ. Horton, of the old-time firm of
Campbell & Horton, Of Caldwell, was at
the yards with the top load for the day,
fine load Of 70 2S2-pound hogs, selling
without dock or cut-out. His firm are
among the heavy shippers from southern
Kansas, and have sent up large quantity
OF hogs this season, and yet he says the
country is full of them and he believes
always will be, so long as corn is plenty.
However, he declares that his section is
suffering from preponderance of inferior
hogs, and this year this condition is worse
than last year. It was always possible
to get good hogs until this year. and his
firm nearly always topped the market
when IN. But the unusual run Of lights
this year has made it difficult TO secure
a tOppy load. and then only by culling out
2 he has If lot Sa
of which he always sends 10 this market
and the tailings somewhere else, as he
long since realized that such grades are
poor property on this market He says:
Il have been a constant and regular ship
per 10 this market since it was started,
and take 1t one year with another, 1 find
it the very best market anywhere. L in
variably do the best here and have tried
all of them. Our firm have shipping sta
lions at Deer Creek, Renfrow and Cald-
well. We buy the best the country af-
fords and ship them all up to our sort
ing pens at Caldwell. There we care
fully sort out and manage to get one prime
load out of all of them. This We always
send to the Wichita market, the tail ends
and poor stock to some other points where
they may be absorbed. l am in a position
to judge, from long experience here, and
unhesitatingly declare that for convent !
ence promptness, reliable markets and |
uniformly good high prices, 1 am con- |
WINGED there is no better market, In fact |
none so good" He reports wheat harvest |
commencing yesterday, and there will be |
a good crop, and corn as well. Fruit is in |
promising condition save, perhaps, april |
cots.
