ly of mixed packing house products; three
cars in the jobbing trade, and an increas-

Colonel Byers has this week been
strong buyer on the market, paying good
prices for his purchases. and as he knows
good hogs when he sees them, he care
fully selects the offerings for the day for
his eastern orders.
Mr. Joe Ransom of the Dold account
ing force, is the last to leave his desk
for his room and in bed, grip being the
cause of his forced absence. Mr.. John
mccarthy, the efficient day Waterman at
the plant is also confined to his room
with bone broken in one foot. During
the high wind early in the week a. heavy
plank fell on the foot which broke bone
and sent him to bed. His attending
physician hopes to get him out in a few
days.
The days trading yesterday at the
yards showed one thing, and that is that
this market never fails TO respond to in
1uences from the outside tending TO
strengthen the tone of the trading, but
also that alone and Independently it pos
sesses a natural and well defined innate
strength of its own. For instance, the
top was $3.50; the top Of the bulk range,
212 cents below, while the next figure at
which the most of the remaining cars
sold was 10 cents below the top. This
shows that the two top loads were by far
the best on sale, and logically and justly
took just that much better price, the
rest in every instance selling just as
strong at their respective merits.
Provisions were very firm, prices adj
vancing ~ to 10 cents and strong mar
ket They were strong and higher on
moderate receipts of hogs and heavy in
