Fair Supply of Heavier Hogs,
Quality Fair.
CAR TOPS AT $4t7 IL
Cattle Market Steady With
Light Run,

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
weak to ; cents lower. The weakness OF
the past two days and the weakness of
ell other markets elsewhere yesterday
was reelected on the local market and the
tone was easier to the degree OF quotation
above mentioned. All the western re-
ceiving points early gave out a lower
quotation and though this market was
inherently stronger, it responded TO the
downward influence by the split Of weak
10 five lower. It was not heavy day
IN point OF receipts, but IL was better
than Thursday by twice as many cars
weighed I'D. Most Of the cars came in
late and the trading was solely confined
TO the scattering small punches OF wagon
stun Three Gales Of this Class OF stock
were made at $4.20-25z cents above the
tops for car hogs. One car OF medium
weights was sold at the A.17lz cent top,
and one bunch OF wagon hogs at the same
figure. The range OF sales yesterday was
within a narrow limit, all the cars AID
most OF the wagon stun coming in "a
cent range, from $4.i5 to 4.lTiz. Includ-
Ing the three wagon tops the range was
all within cents save one tail ender Of
hogs. Little was done In the trading
In the provision pit yesterday early but
the close found the cash stuff up from
to IA cents. The quality was very
fair yesterday but most Of the cars were
from medium; to heavy and lights lately
have been the most in demand at all the
packing centers. Yesterday al this point
the average weight was D pounds heavier
than the weight of Thursday. and there
were twice as many mars in yesterday.
The receipts actually sold and weighed
up were heavier than those of the day
previous, although the sum total Of yard
81 hogs was some ahead Of Thursday.
There was a good demand all through
the day and the hogs which sold went al
profitable figures. The dockage was light
and there were few CUtouts or sorted lots
most Of the offerings selling straight
Everything on sale was sold and without
and hesitancy. The hogs all came in
in good form in spite Of the heat, and as
a matter of fact there have been very
few losses from this source this season.
The week has not been heavy in poin;
Of volume but II has been as good as
last year at this time and the strength
CT the daily markets has been COMPARE
lively very marked, 1t more than holding
its own with the rest.
