Mr.. P. B.. Lincoln, long regular ship
per TO this market, has entered a part
nership with Mr. Martin. and this enter
prising firm promises to be among the

try TO this market.

The Dold shipping and disbursing bust
ness yesterday was well up TO the aver
age There were four cars shipped d.
rect to contractors. several jobbing cars
out, the usual daily output in the express
trade, and a good line sold for future
delivery. The concern is now handling
all orders as soon as received. according
90 contract delivery. and one of their pet
rules IS that no delay in filling orders IS
ever made, as evidenced by the universal
commendation from their trade every
where. A cOuntermand from customers to
this firm is an unknown quantity, as each
night finds all standing orders handled
according 20 the sale contract. BY care
full buying and cutting they manage all
the time TO keep each grade OF cuts up
in reserve and no orders are ever allowed
10 " AT SulDIIlcIL OF Lll-lS - the dIALOg-
ance of the trade This practice accounts
in great measure for their constantly
growing trade as no merchant likes 10
have his orders hang fire and be so long
in filing. a thing rarely or never heard
OF at the Dold plant.

Other mbarkets yesterday were as fol-
lows: Chicago had estimated 27,eo0 hogs.
They received 21,000 another $500 miss in
the guess, the same as the day before
There were 5519 left over and the COM
pared receipts were the day previous, e.
600 The estimate for today is 1000. The
market yesterday was given in the af-
ternoon as opening steady and closing |
lower. The last bulletin gave this: Mod |
crate receipts OF hogs and a good demand |
kept the market steady at unchanged |
prices" Kansas City received 1880 hogs,
against 1880 on Thursday, and the mar |
ket was first given as steady TO a shade !
lower. The last report said: Light sup
ply and inferior quality sold active at |
steady prices. St. Louis was steady with |
7 600 in, against 1900 for Thursday. A !
strong market for hogs and fair outside |
speculative demand maintained prices in |
provisions. Ribs closed 10 cents up, and |
lard 21a cents up.
St Louis Globe-Democrat: General |
Leonard Wood of Santiago, says he never |
saw any bad beef in the army sup |
plies furnished. The General is one Of |
the few witnesses who have been con- |
at the front.
Chicago Inter-Ocean: The best traders /
in provisions are extremely friendly to |
the long side. The big packers as a rule |
did very little in the market last week, /
being content to buy hogs and I'LL their /
sales Spectators who were bearish in /
grains are bullish on provisions and pre- /
dict that there will be more speculation I
in them than in grains. The consumption /
IS enormous. and although stocks are in /
creasing. they are figuring on a decrease !
in the hog supply. Hogs have been mar
l<eted freely for months, and the belief /
IS that it is time for receipts 70 fall 4
