cnnntion Until Next Fall.

WASHINGTON. June 20.-Upon the advice OF
Major-Gcn. Brooke. commanding tho division
OF Cuba. and BriGader Gen. Ludlow. COM
manding the Department Of Havana City, the
War Department will not send any moro re-
cruits to the Cuban army OF occupation at this
season. Between 500 and 900 recruits have been
sent weekly from this country to Cuba. Gen.
Brooke telegraphed to the War Department
not to send any moro new men for the artillery.
as he had no place to quarter them. and this
was followed bya communication from Gen.
Ludlow. who said that it would be uuwisc to
continue placing recruits in Cuba at this time
OF the year. Gen. Ludlow's objection was
based on the ground that tho recruits from
the United States had not been accllmatcd
and were liable to become i'll through begin

man enlisted was anxious to 20 to tho Philip
pines Now. however, fully one-hnlt OF the
desire for service in the Philippines while

the War Department officials are very much
surprised over the preference OF so many re-
cruits for service In Cuba at this season.

Tor the summer months, Heretofore i has
that very few men could be enlisted in the
summer when work was easier to get and the

HOG MARKET WEAK
Practically No Market Be-
cause of Saturday Quiet.
ONLY WAGON HOGS IN
Cattle Steady--Good Weeks
Showing all Around,

Yesterday the local hog market was q
Very inconsequential day. There was
practically no market at all, as the re-
ceipts were not enough to establish
quotable market All through the day the
trading was draggy because Of only now
and then a few scattering punches Of
wagon hogs on sale. There were no car
sales recorded on the open session, al
though one or two firms had advices Of
possible car consignments to arrive late
IN the night As a matter of fact. the
prevailing conditions were such as would
have made a good days business had
the hogs been in evidence. The demand
was strong, and fat hogs were anKiously
awawited and would have met with ready
sale at once, and at better prices than
other early reported markets indicated.
One of the best known and most regular
buyers gave out early that he would take
At least 500 hogs If IN good form. But
they failed 10 materialize. and the day
closed with practically nothing done. Good
fair prices would have been paid for
the hogs. and the market tone so far as
st was possible 10 determine from the
scant line offered, was simply weak 9th
er markets corresponded with this, and
in the absence Of a good inc of stuff
this was ths qUotable market There were
only a few small lots OF wagon hogs Of
fered, and these were of no extra quail
lily. The top load OF heavy hogs from
the local trade selling at $3.50. were of
only common to fair stock. Good medium
hogs would have sold at s.. 35d3 70 very
readily, and extra hogs would have met
with a wide-open arm reception. Dold
was alert for even medium hogs and the
day was a disappointment to all con-
Cerned, although not entirely unexpected,
the weeks conditions having been as they
were and yesterday being the closing day
OF the week Up to the last minute all
hands were still at the yards TO handle
come in. The provision market was firm
er and this tended to hold a restraining
influence over the usual Saturday de-
preston. It has been a very satisfactory
week in all. The top price of g. 45 has
landed three days out OF the five days
suitable Of reporting, and one other day,
Tuesday. only ~ cents lower marked the
top OF the day. The market has been
strong mostly. at least strong compared
with some other points, and the sales
have been always to the advantage OF
the shipper Several new corners have
appeared on the scene and all we'll salts
