HOG PRICES DROP
Heavy Receipts of Hogs and
Quality Fair
TOPS DROP TO S4.00
Cattle Market Steady With
Light Trade.

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
5 to ~ cents lower in sympathy with all
the other western markets The univer-
sal tone yesterday was lower and none
of the big receiving points showed any
degree of strength, but on the contrary
they ali reported a downward tendency.
Some gave out early a TO 10 cents lower,
and others as dull, and lower, and cents
lower. This market was fully in sympa-
thy with the rest, and the sales made
here were well in line, as compared with
the other markets, and this point neld
Its own very well. 1t was a heavy day
IN point or receipts, and the trade was
lively and the business done with d spirit
of vim and dash very refreshing after the
dullneSS Of the past week. IWelVe cars
of hogs passed through the scale court,
and this was Just twice as many as LHe
day before, ard many times the amount
received for a long time past. There was
heavier run Of hogs, especially IN the
car division, and this swelled the volume
of receipts to a degree which was very
satisfactory all around. Added to this
was a very fair supply of wagon and local
stuff and all of them sold out at the
best prices possible in conformity with
the ether western markets. The receipts
nearly reached the 1,00 mark and the
DOld Packing company took them ALL and
paid good, strong prices for them, as COM
pared with the best reports from other
points. The quality Of the hogs was fairly
good for the day, there being few cut-outs
or sorts, and while there was nothing
in especially fancy, it all sold very well
The average weight was 4 pounds heav-
ier than that of Monday, and the quality
not much different, although there were
many more hogs in yesterday. It was a
good day yesterday in point of activity
and business done, and the lower prices
were simply in sympathy with the rest
of the markets.

Grains Follow Wheat,

Chicago, Oct. T.-Wheat dropped sc to-
day, December closing at 703sc. The rapid
accumulation of stocks and a sharp break
at Liverpool were the weakening inf1u-
ences. Liquidation was heavy. The break
in wheat caused the downfall of coarse
grains, corn closing with loss of $sG52c
and oats 12c. Provisions ruled dull and
closed practically unchanged.
A decline of 1ssd at Liverpool and ia
vorable crop reports put wheat traders in
a bearish temper at the opening. High
ocean rates We're also against the mar
ket, and the longs began to unload at the
outset. There was not a great deal or
short selling, however, as the break has
been such for the last few DAYS thai the

the market soon got below puts. De-
cember opened kG5sc lower, at 707sd1lc,

then for an hour held at about 70&c, with
business during that time almost at a
