The Wichita hog market yesterday was
early quoted as steady. The market
opened steady, and closed easy and about
% cents lower. The general approval
OF the market quotation was steady to
212 cents lower" The bulk Of the car
lot sales as well as the entire wagon
trade and local offerings, went at the up
per end of the quotation, that is, steady
There were very few car lots which sold
at 212 cents lower and these were mixed
lots arricing toward the close. This mar
ket, considering the prevailing influences
which have operated for a long time, was
Eery strong as compared with all the
other western markets. For instance,
Chicago, with about the same number Of
hogs as were received the day before,
gave out market price as generally &C
lower. St. Louis, with only normal run
Of hogs reported scent lower market.
and Kansas City gave out weak TO sc
lower. The bulk of the hogs which were
on sale yesterday went at steady prices,
and the easy close was not from local ef-
fectns al all, or from the influence Of the
local conditions. On the contrary, the
GALES which were made yesterday on the
local market were made always on their
displayed toward the close it was from
. reactonary effect from the rest Of the
western markets. There was a solid and
firm tone to the local market yesterday,
End the demand was good, and this de-
mand was sufficiently strong to take in
all the offerings, from both the car stuff
and the local trade. AS a matter Of fact,
most Of the sales of car stuff were made
at prices which were steady with the day
before. Towards the close there was an
inclination to buy the offerings cheaper,
and this was entirely a back action from
the other western markets, but the bulk
of the car lots had already been weighed
up and very few went over the scales at
any longer figures. This market, as COM
pared with the other western markets.
WAS very satisfactory and was strong,
comparatively, 3 cents lower and weak TO
&c lower being the prevailing quotations
from all the markets. The quality gen
orally was good all through, both wagon
offerings, which were light, and the heavy
run of car stock. There were a few eX-
ira fancy loads in and all brought the
best market prices. The top prices for
car hogs went up 21b cents, and one car
load landed on this top price. A very re-
markable point in Yesterdays hog trading
was the fact that Of all lots but one lone
ly sale came within the narrow bulk
range Of 10 cents. $3.50 to $3.50 marked
the bulk range Of all hogs, both car Of
6erings and local and wagon trade. The
one exception to all this heavy vC-v-..e
was a small bunch of hogs which av-
eraged 272 pounds and sold at So go. Out
side of this one unimportant sale the
entire offered list sold at Decent range
and this included the 19 cars which pass
ed over the scales and all the wagon
trade, a very unusual condition. The hogs
on sale yesterday were generally very
good there being a few which were extra
and fancy choice stuff. On the close there
was nothing left unsod which had come
In during the trading. There We're two

and one more car still later The day
was entirely satisfactory to all concerned,
the shippers and sellers getting all they
expected and leaving well pleased
