Few offerings.

The local hog market yesterday was
Strong S cents higher. This was in line
with the reports from all the western live
stock centers. The run of hogs was light
in comparison with what 1t ought 20
be, but was better than the receipts Of
the day before. The average weight was
s pounds better than that of Wednesday,
and while not displaying any special fan
cy grade Of hogs. was little in advance
Of the run Of the past few days. There
were seven cars sold on the market yes
terday and only one re-weigh. and all OF
the recorded sales, both car lots and
wagon stuff. were disposed Of at strong
market prices and to the best advantage
OF the shippers. The quality was very
choice On sale through the day. The mar
ket for good fat butcher hogs has been
very strong for the past two weeks and
even mediums and medium lights have
had no trouble IN selling at the best mar
Iet prices. esterday the open market was
strong and bidders were after the hogs
and the weight and grade did not in all
cases cut very much of a figure. Hogs
were wanted and they were taken about
as soon as yarded, just as they were
More OF them were in demand and would
have been as quickly absorbed had they
appeared. Provisions went up at first and
then sagged on. Most Of the wagon sales
were recorded under the bulk range, but a

for the shipper and all In at the yards

day before, and, the quality considered.
showed a strong 8 cents higher. The de-
mand was at all times strong and the
trading active, and the business was
early closed with the hog pens empty
For the past few days the local hog
market has been very high. and shippers
have profited by consigning to this mar

Washington. July f3.-The monthly

the year the imports of gold amounted to
SIS eC8 and the exports to 1882, 0S6.
The silver imports during June amount
ed to $1,a7. 215 and the exports to So s43.-
O9a
The chief grain reduction in the value
Of exports during the year IL in grain, OF
which the supply abroad in 1898 was I'M
usually short. The average price per
bushel of wheat exported in the fiscal
year 1898 was $3.50 cents. against an aver
age Of AL cents in the fiscal year just
ended. The reduction in expectation of
grain is chiefly in price the quantity of
wheat exported being only about 10 ooD.-
900 bushels less than that Of last year.
Ineed the reduction in wheat exports Is
more than Offset by the increased ex-
ports of -four. of which the exports OF
1899 are about 800 90 barrels in excess
OF those of last year. this increase more
than equalling the reduction in the guam
tity OF wheat exported. Corn shows a
considerable reduction in quantity Of ex-
ports. the number of bushels for 1899 be-
ing about "a 600 OO0 below that Of 1898.
when our corn exports were abnormally
breadstuffs abroad.
There has also been a reduction of
about $50. eco in value OF the exports of
cotton also due largely to the reduction
In price. the average price per pound of
cotton exports in 1898 being 5.es cents and
IN 1893. SIS cents. The decrease in value
of exports Of breadstuffs and cotton Is
thus nearly made up by the increased ex-
ports OF manufactures. which seem likely
to amount to s535. Con. coo in the fiscal year
1879. az against $3.50 SCI s54 in 1893. an in
crease Of about s45 90 go.
Berlin. July 13.-Germany's exports to
the United States for the quarter ended
with June 20 last were 81 10000 as COM
pared with S2i O0n 90 for the correspond
ing quarter last year.
