HOG MARKET STEADY
Light Saturday Run But
Demand Firm.
TOPS REMAIN AT SAT- ~
No Cattle Market and There

The local hog market yesterday was
quoted as steady with a very light run Of
hogs in. There was early in the day a
scattering supply of wagon stun and all
this was sold at fast as offered, and the
demand remained firm for good class
OF killing hogs all through the day. It
was a very light day. even for Saturday,
which is always expected to be the light
est Of the week. The closing day Of the
week is always discounted by the trade
and estimates are based always on a
light line of offerings. Yesterday was,
however, worse that usual IN this line and
the entire days receipts were below the
average even for Saturday. The quotation
for the hog prices paid was steady, and
this ruled for all the purchases and had
there been more fat hogs in at the docks
they would have sold at the best prices.
There was a good demand for hogs, and
lights and packers and mediums and pork
ers all would have sold at the best market

list. 1t was a dull day, as the light sup

strength in the market to take in a good
line Of hogs had they appeared. For Sat
urday the market quotations yesterday
were generally very satisfactory. There
was an upward tone TO the market. and
the best prices were paid for only medium
and fair grade hogs. This condition pre-
vailed all over the west and the four great
markets and packing centtrs all were
on a par In this general quotation. In
all, It has been a light week so far as
the volume of hogs is concerned. but this
local market has not suffered more than
the rest. So far as inherent strength is
concerned, the Wichita market has all
through the week more than held fits own,
the prices paid by the Dold company be-
ing close up to the Kansas City range.
The demand has been good and there
have been no we'll fattened hogs gone
begging. Yesterday was, of course, light
in receipts and in tone. but the light sup
ply was in all the most to blame and a
larger supply would have received a
stronger price.

New York, Aug. l2-The F1nancier says.
THE statement OF the clearing house
banks for New York City for the week
ending August Z was Unexpectedly ia
vorable, the chief feature having been
the heavy increase OF $6.5SS,S00 in specie.
There was a decrease of nearly the same
amount in loans, and, as deposits re-
malned stationary, the gold expansion
went to swell surplus reserve, bringing
that item to $14. 1855, the highest point
touched since June "A last. There Is no
doubt that factors that were present but
unaccounted for in the previous week
have been oeerative In the present ex-
hibit. The transfers Of gold from tie
west and return movement of specie re-
Gently shipped to Canada may have aided
in swelling the total for the current week.
but a detailed analysis goes to show that
four and one-half millions Of the entire
specie gain Is reported by one bank. This
institution also expanded its deposits by
the same amount, so that the remaining
clearing house banks really curtailed their
outstanding deposits by that amount. 1t
is not known whether the lending Of
money in this center by interior banks
has been the case, the loan column might
be expected to show 1t. Looked at in any
light, however. the statement will go far
toward restoring a better feeling. There
has neevr been cause for apprehension at
best but the moral effect Of display OF
strength such as chronicled will prove
beneficial in every way. The main CUES
ton at present is to what extent New
York will be called upon to aid in the
crop movement. Best advices now are
that interior cities are well prepared 10
handle the situation. There is nothing in
domestic exchange quotations to indicate
a westward movement, and the season Is
close at hand when cereals and cotton
will flow outward in increasing quantities
The July figures now at hand show a
decided gain in domestic produce exports,
and August and September are expected
to make new records in this particular,
thus paving the way for gold imports
later"
