The Dold business yesterday was very
fair IN all departments. The jobbing and

cars of mixed packing house products
were also good, with a liberal amount Of
sales Of large orders for immediate ship
ment.

Killing at the Dold plant is now re-
sume6 on large scale. Part of last
week the repairs going on at the house
made the killing a little short of the
usual schedule. These repairs were not
only necessary, but viii make a more per-
fected system than ever and from now
on each day viii show up a heavy Kill
ing Of hogs, and the demand for their
class keen.
Provisions yesterday were easy with the
weakness of wheat and on lower hog
prices. The demand was slack and the
supply Of hogs plentiful. Cash lard
closed 5 cents off at $4.971h, and cash ribs
212 cents off, at 81 s21k
The week opened yesterday very favor
ably to all concerned. There was a good
run Of hogs and plenty Of buyers for
them. The keen competition for all classes
of hogs was never more in evidence than
now. There are not only special buyers
for the several different classes of hogs,
but each grade has a competition. Five
buyers are now regularly on the mar
ket. besides the transient buyers who al
most every day are on hand to take
,what they need out Of the general Of
ferings. No shipper from Oklahoma or
southwest Kansas can now afford to pass
Wichita, as there are represented now ar
this point some of the greatest packers
in the country, besides order and butcher
buyers. The Jacob Dold Packing COM
pany, the year round steady buyers Of
butcher hogs; Armour & Co., Cudahy &
Co., Morris & Butts, fat lard hog buy
ers for export; Bennett & Riley, and
lesser butchers all are permanently on
the market for hogs, and they viii pay
the strongest prices for them. Send your
hogs here and they will sell at once and
at best figures.
The roads doing the hauling yesterday
were as follows: Santa Fe, 9; Missouri
Pacific, 4, and Frisco, !.
