HOG MARKET STRONG
720 Hogs Sold and Quality
Common.
TOPS STILL AT $3.50
Good Hog Day For Monday
No Cattle Market.

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
strong with Saturdays prices. It was
a good day for Monday in point of receipts
and the strength of the market. This
latter was especially fattering. Two Of
the western markets in the day report
gave out their market as steady and one
q full 10 cents lower. In spite of these
lower tendencies, and the displayed weak
ness everywhere, the local market more
than held its own, and considering the
low grade Of stock yarded, and the prices
paid for it, the top of the whole day was
very strong. The hogs received were in
all cases very much mixed, and common
ran be assigned to about every load.
There was one car in which compare
lively was better by considerable than the
rest, but this one was not at all espe-
cially attractive, and on a day of a large
line of fancy hogs would have been lost
In the shuttle There were heavy pack
ers and light lights; under weight thin
stock and coarse heavies. In fact, about
every known grade of mixed hogs was
represented and there was a generally
poor selection. There were no top hogs
and nothing prime on sale, and in fact
very little Of any attractiveness at all. The
wagon trade was rather heavy for the
first day Of the week, and the quality Of
this branch was not so bad there being
a few small punches in from this divis-
ion which showed up very fair, but these
were scattering and hardly sufficient to
work much of a heaven in the general mix
up Of poorer car stuff. The car receipts
were slow in getting in, and most Of the
business was done on the wind up of the
close. It was done in good shape, how
ever, and everything offered sold at strong
prices. There was a good local pack
ing and shipping demand, and buyers
took hold Of what was offered readily and
a better class of hogs would have re-
ceived higher prices as easily as the stuff
which did come in took on the strong
prices they did The volume of receipts
was greater than either Saturday or for
Monday Of the week previous, and was
very satisfactory In this sense, but every
one would have felt better had they been
Of little better quality of fat stock The
average weight was higher, too, than
either Of these days, but as there were
heavy packers run In with nearly every
load, this does not signify much. The
tops were 10 cents above Monday of last
week and the same as Saturday.

SHIPPERS AND NOTES.

L. Z. Baird of Anness was in person at
the yards with shipment Of mixed cattle
and hogs. the latter being the one load
to receive the top price and We're heavies.
J. +. Funk of Nickerson was present
among the late arrivals with a car load
of mediums which sold on the close at
the top of the bulk.
L. \. Townsend, of the firm of Town
send &s Lamon, of Andale, was on the
market with a car of mediums of very
fair grade, which sold at the top of the
bulk range.
z. G. Laverty Of Pond Creek was smil-
ing among his friends at the yards yes
terday, where he had car of medium
weights of fair grade and selling at a
good bulk figure. Mr.. Laverty is a reg
ular patron Of this market and one Of
the well-known Oklahoma shippers. Some
time ago he incidentally remarked that
his point got out on an average Of about
seven cars a week, and Typographical
error made il read n cars. and he saws
he has spent most of his time since ex-
planning TO his neighbors and friends that
he was duly sober. and the blame rested
entirely with the printer and not himself.
which is a fast. Mr. Laverty reports con-
aitions very favorable all through that
prosperous section.

The recession in prices now makes new
basis for an early upward spring move
ment and insures active trading during
the summer months which, but for the

prices that had been reached would have

sight to prevent a steady and compare

next fall.

worthless brand of cement used in the
rush to complete contracts before a test
Of the cement could be made. About 500

Future of the Bicycle.

1t is agreed by all bicycle manufacturers
that the 1899 models represent the perfect
wheel. Improvement seems to be impossi-
sible. Precisely the same thing is true of
HOstetter's Stomach BitteIs. 1t represents
the limits of science in OvercOm ng disease,
and 1t Is impossible to make better medi
cine for the stomach, liver, kidneys and
blood. A few doses of the Bitters will start
weak, nervoes and bloodless people on the
road to strength. A regular course of treat.
ment will bring back the pink to the cheeks
and sparkle to the eye. Sleep will come
naturally, ard 1t will be refreshing and
healthfuI. Dyspepsia, indigestion and con-
stipation will be completely banished, and
the blessings of true health restored. Never
take substitute for this perfect remedy.
