SHIPPERS AND NOTES.

Frank & Shepherd of Pond Creek were
late arrivals with a carload OF lights
which sold at the top price of 1920 They
were very fair hogs and of the class
which OF late is bringing the best prices.
Bert KelL one Of the Oldest and most
reliable consignors to this market, was a
shipper yesterday of medium light weight
hogs which sold at close to top prices.
Other shippers at the yards yesterday
with stock were Joe Kirk of Kingnian.
Hugh Griffith of Belle PLANE, D. jackson
of Hazelton, who had a mixed car, part
cattle and part hogs.
Yesterday at the Dold plant the ship
Tnents represented very good day. The
johbing and express output was strong
and took in all the several specialties as
will as the staple cuts, and the straight
contract cors were also we'll in line with
the best days of the past week. There
seems to be no let up at all in the daily
output from the docks Of the Dold house,
and each day all this season has ex-
hibited a growing trade. Tie purchas-
ing capacity Of the trade is greater this
year by far than for any season the past
four years. and the splendid reputation
of the Wichita house for finely cured prod
ucts In the staple line, and eXquisitely
prepared goods in the specially division,
as well as the prompt and ready response
20 orders has made for this house n rep
utation rarely acquired In rwict the time
of existence.
There was no cattle market yesterday
as there was nothing Of Importance on
sale Usually there are a few single hoofs
yarded and offered for sale from the local
and driven in source. and these find al
ways a ready sale be they stockers and
feeders or fat butcher stun. Yesterday,
however, there was practically nothing
offered. and only one car OF mixed stuff
had cattle in 1t along with a part car Of
Eight weight hogs There were buyers on
hand for the various grades Of cattle,
but they were not In evidence and hence
the absence OF any Quotable market

Chicago DrOVe7s Journals: A report has
been going the rounds of the press during
the past week TO the effect that goats
were being slaughtered at the various
market centers and ;heir meat being sold
In tie retail markets for mutton. One
wouh oe justified in drawing the con-
Clucfon from the wording of tine dispatches
that the country was being flooded with
goat meat and that those who ate II
were seriously In danger OF developing
into satyrs. The plain facts are that COM
paratively few goats are being slaughtered
and these are of the Angora class, raised

closely akin 10 the sheep tribe that many
city folks cOUld not tell the difference on
the hoof and certainly not on the block.
There is a vast difference between the
Geecy grass fed Angora and the sleek
coated billy that browses and fattens
on tin cans and brickbats in CaSey's back

standing with the big packing concerns.
ahera is much difference between him

and May corn, feeling that the prices are
