The market yesterday demonstrated two
things at least one that an unexpected
large run never weakens the market any,
as the demand from the various quarters
is always sufficient to absorb all the
hogs that come in, the best grades re-
ceiving the better prices and even the
lights and thin stock selling for all they
can command The other significant fea-
ture was the noticeab bic heavy supply from
Oklahoma More and more the Oklahoma
| feeder and stock dealers are realizing the
benefits which come from this market.
| The convenience itself is factor of con-
siderable importance, and one that means
a great deal to that section. The ar
! rangement of the trains serves to assist
| greatly in the Oklahoma shippers getting
! their hogs in on time to sell, and then
! to get back home, or at least on their
way home, the same day. All the Old
time regular shippers speak glowingly or
| this market from every standpoint. and
continue to ship here regularly, while ev-
! cry week new shippers are added TO the
! list, and one experiment never fails TO
! bring them again. Yesterday there were
/ three new firms from that section with
! consignments at the yards, and they did
better. shrinkage time saved, and
strength of the market all considered,
than they could have done elsewhere.
The sheep trade yesterday was repre-
scented in a bunch of ten head, averaging
60 pounds and selling to Dold at 50. 70.
Mr. Frank G. Steck was in at the yards
Yesterday to look after string of hogs

needless to say he looked after them
right in every particular.
