sHIPPERS AND NOTES.

Day & Yonan of Alameda, in with the
best car Of hogs in several days. They
report everything IN their Immediate Sec
ton as In the finest condition although
there IS rain needed south of that point
The general conditions are the best and
they say that all live stock IS doing well
and there will be a large run OF hogs
from that neighborhood to this market.
Charlie Dorsey of South Haven, was In
with a mixed car of hogs and cattle.
Jim Bosley Of Clearwater, had in q car
OF mixed cattle. They were made up Of
stockers and feeders and bulls and were
yarded for feed and rest in transit.
The cattle trading was light yesterday,
there being little In OF the class most
wanted, and the demand was confined to
cows and butcher stuff. There Is an act
I've demand for bulls on this market and
they sell readily at the best figures. Yes
terday the trade In this line was as fol-
iows: bull. L5J0 pounds, price $S.25; I
bull, 1910 pounds, selling at S3.25, and one
COW, 900 pounds, at $.76.
Yesterday was banner day in the job
bing division OF the Dold house. Nearly
10000 pounds Of meats Of the various cuts
and grades were shipped out from this
department, and the wholesale market
forces were kept busy until a late hour
getting out the shipments. One very i'm
pCrtant and very valuable feature of the
Dold regime of service Is the promptness
of shipments, and added 10 this the al
most perfect system about the plant and
the superb facilities for quickly handling
all orders. makes their trade greatly de-
sired by the customers and merchants.
Though the morning yesterday opened
with an avalanche of orders large and
small, all were easily handled and at
night everything was on fits way TO desti-
nation. IT was among the heavy days
Of this year in the jobbing division. but
these heavy days Of late are the rule and
not the exception.
Official letters to the state department
at Washington, received from the repre-
sentatives of the United tates in Ger
many bring many details concerning the
recent action in that country looking TO
the exclusion Of beef slaughtered in Bel
GUM from the German markets and II Is
said leave little room for doubt that this
Is done for the purpose Of preventing the
indirect introduction OF an American prod
uct. The letters state that proclamations
have been Issued by the authorities OF the
Prussian provinces OF Aarchen. Dussel-
d0rf, Osnabruck. Luneburg, Schieswig,
Danzig and Gumbinnen. and also In the
grand duchies Of Oldenburg and Meiklen-
burg and by the ministry OF Alsace-Lor-
raine. against the admission OF beef
slaughtered in Belgium. These subdiVs-
IONS Of territory cover the entire Belgian
frontier Of Germany and render it imprac-
ticable to introduce any Belgian beef
into the empire. While the central gov
eminent Of Germany takes no official &C
zion in the premises, it is pointed out az
washington that the course Of the sub
ordinate governments is inspired from
berhn, and some Of the proclama tons set
forth that the action is taken at the in
stance Of the imperial chancellor Others
proclaim that the reason fo- the step Is
the fear OF Introducing Texas fever
through the American-bOrn cattle slaugh-
tered In Belgium The exclusion orders
went into effect on July Is.
