Clark & Co. had in two cars Of fat
butcher hogs which Will cross the scales
this morning.
The roads doing the hauling yesterday
were as follows: Santa Fe, s; Frisco, 4
Rock Island, 8.
The cattle trade yesterday had a squirt
which was vert refreshing. The stuff
marketed was good, the demand was good
and prices high with a firm tone 10 the
market. All the big loads and driven-in
punches, as well as the several smaller
lots coming in mixed cars sold, and sold
vel. The dressed beef department at
-he local packing house has made ire
mendous strides the past few months, and
the trade is growing all the time, max,
ing II possible TO take care Of a large line
OF stock which comes in at the yards.
Even one or TWO head peuned off in a
car Of hogs viii make q nice profit for
the shipper and fat butcher steers and
well finished cows and heifers never fail
10 receive good attention. Stockers and
feeders also have ready call from three
different buying interests, and in all cases
It Will pay the small shipper to come 10
this market.
The daily statement yesterday was as
follows: Tops. $50; bulk, So. 35Q3.50; av-
erage weight, 234; receipts. S4.
Cash lard closed off ~ cents Yesterday.
The Dold business was heavy, both in
shipments Of large orders and in sales Of
mixed produce for future delivery. Five
cars went out from the docks, besides
a large line OF express matter and local
jobbirg stuff. All departments were rep
resented and all busy.
Mr.. F. G. Robinson, OF the live stock
commission firm Of Ryan, Keeney & Rob
inson, of Kansas City, was a business
caller at the yards yesterday.
The smoke houses yesterday al Dold's
were being hung with large orders Of
meats, and at night all We're filed and
the curing process well on its way.
Other markets yesterday were as fol-
lows: Chicago expected 2, 900 hogs and
received 1900. with 2514 left over. The
market was last given a lively, and about
5 cents higher. The estimate for today
is % COO and on Monday il was 40 600. Kan
sas City received 100 hogs, against 100
and the market was given as best grades
q shade higher. and medium grades ac-
tive az steady prices. Owing 10 the poor
wire service caused by electrical disturb
arcss, there was no late report from St
Louis. and the details Of the provision
market were also wanting.
-Ir. Deck Parsons is again on the mar
ket as a permanent order buyer.
Cincinnati Price Current, May Is: When
iC is considered that since March l the
marketed supply OF hogs has declined I
per cent compared with corresponding
time last year. and that prices Of most
articles of product are . per cent or more
below values year ago. with the general
outlook as II is understood TO be in favor
81 continued showing of smaller market
iuES Of hogs il would seem to be incon-
sistent that the market now should be
weak and unsettled on the existing basis
of values. II is true that the present ex-
port movement OF product is not keeping
up with the large clearanCes a year ago,
but this does not imply continuance Of
such comparison. For the past week the
exports were fairly liberal of both meats
and lard, but in both instances were much
short of the large movement for CORE
spending week last year, when the record
was exceptionally high. At this time the
inquiry for continental account is some
what slack, but fairly good from British
markets.
