REPRESENTATIVE SALES.
SHIPPERS AND NOTES.

Ed WeidIine Of Augusta was on the
early market with a car Of heavy hogs in
very good condition. They sold AT once
to Doh at the top price for the day
JEFF Houston of Ponca City was in with
car load of heavy hogs which showed
up well and sold at the top Of the day.
The day was so light yesterday that any
comparison. one day with another in
which the Saturday trade would figure.
would be of no value, and the figures sub
mitted giving no Information relevant.
since the business of the several COM
pairing days was so widely divergent The
review of the whole week. however. gives
an interesting portrayal of the operating
conditions. not alone on this market. but
those which also influence other markets.
Following IS the history of the week.

The Frisco and the Santa Fe did all
the in-hauing yesterday which brought
car hogs To this market. The out-shiD-
ments were divided among two or three
leading lines.
The weekly comparisons are as follows:
Average weight OF all car hogs arriving
at this market and sold. 24s pounds; the
total receipts OF all car hogs for the
week, 4ls4. For the week ending Janu-
airy II. average weight 243; total re-
ceipts. 4.0S9. Both the average weight and
the receipts are about on a parity for the
two comparing weeks
The cattle division yesterday suffered
the same affliction as the hog trade. only
more 50. There was no cattle business
done, although all the usual buyers were
on hand for all that might be offered
The business of the Dold Packing COM
pany yesterday was notably strong for
the last day of the week II is usually
expected that this day should be mainly
taken up with cleaning up odds and ends
Of small orders. and booking other larger
deals for the following week. But yester-
day was as good a day as any Of the
week There were eight cars shipped from
the contract division these mostly mix
ed packing house products and special
ties There were as many more cars
sold through the day TO the trade for i'm
mediate delivery. In addition the local
jo5bing and express trade was unusually
heavy for this day. As a matter Of fact
the day cuts little figure with this firm
for the past few months. The practical
monetary benefit accruing TO the mer-
chants of this territory from prompt and
ready shipments means so much 10 them
that any day IS IS good a. another for
them The consequence is that Saturday
shows up an equally heavy line Of produce
sent out, and Sunday TOO. finds AT least
one large consignment in order 20 get
out the orders received the day before
All departments Of the plant are run
ming fun time and the daily average our
put Is very iattering for this season Of
the year.
Provisions were firm and a shade high
er all around There i more inquiry for
the stun. with the demand moderate
with a good promise for II being better.
Ribs closed up cents and lard 2le cents.
Among the travelling statesmen OF the
Dold Packing company who were in yes
terdsy were the following: MesSrs.
Maughman. Riley, Reveley. Brovosky
and Hagsn.
The top price for the week was 3 45.
