cars Of hogs received late in the night

The statement and analysis for yester-
day is as follows: Tops, $3.50; bulk of
sales, S3.S0d5.90; average weight. A7; re-
ceipts, 1,523. One car sold at the top. All
but one lone sale of all the big run came
within the bulk range, and this one ex-
ception was an insignificant bunch Of
five head, averaging 272 pounds, and SELL
ing at s.. so: four cars went at the next to
tops, $3.S712; ten ears al 50 IS; three cars
at $3.S21z; and one car at $3.50 1t was
a day of close figures, the demand being
strong enough TO take in all that was
offered, and that. too on a day when the
receipts were heavy, and the firm tone
and active bidding bringing the sales
within a very narrow range as may be
seen in the above tables and the re-
view.
The quality was generally good yester-
IIay, there being few loads which were
choice. Though the wagon offerings were
not heavy the quality of them was good
and all classes had buyers for them, and
they sold at very good prices. 1t was
the heaviest day in a long time in point
of receipts, and the strength of this mar
ket as compared with the other western
points asserted itself very glowingly and
more than satisfied the shippers who had
hogs in.
The Dold shipments yesterday were
very good in all divisions. The jobbing
and express trade was especially good
with a live trading in the straight car
line. besides a fair day in the contracted
stuff for immediate consignment. Every
branch of the packing house trade IS
lively right now, and this is only a con-
tinuing of the conditions which have OPP
Grated for the past several weeks, much
to the surprise of the management and
those most closely in touch with the trade.
Yesterday in the provision pit, lower
hog prices were the cause of a decline
of a shade at the opening, but a good de-
mand early offset this influence, the early
loss being regained. Cash lard closed 21a
cents up, at 800; and cash ribs PIC up,
at $3.50.

cattle buyers on this market,-that IS.

him back.
Mr.. Sidney Brakeman, a cattle feeder
at Leon, and special agent for the Frisco,
was a caller at the yards yesterday. look

and will buy more If the right kind is Of
fered.
Mr. John Norris. Of the firm of Norris &
Yazel was at the yards yesterday with a
fine choice load of butcher hogs and in
cidentally mentioned to the hog editor
that a few days ago he shot bald eagle
which measured eight feet from tip to tip

good success. He is having the bird
