COTTON.

New York, Feb. e-The cotton market
opened steady, with prices l to points
higher on bullish information from all
quarters and buying orders from Europe.
Following the call the trading was on a
less pretentious scale than since the re-
cent speculative movement set in. But,
despite this lessened interest, the market
ruled generally firm, with prices at the
highest point. The Liverpool news was
particularly encouraging, but the weather
map was easily the feature of the day.
Receipts were light, cotton in the fields
abandoned while spot markets were re-
ported strong at a shade higher prices

TOPS STILL REST ON $3.50

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
strong TO cents higher, with a dimin-
ished supply and the quality poor to a
degree. There were really no good hogs
offered on sale from the car shipments,
and the three punches of wagon hogs
brought the 50. so top price of the day,
and these local hogs were fairly good
stock. Good wagon hogs even in the
very slight run of them readily sold at
top prices, and car hogs of the same or
anywhere near as good grade would as
readily have brought q good stiff price.
Had there been q car load or more for
that matter Of good hogs. they would
have sold at s.. 65G3. 10. This is not guess
work, or boom talk, either, as buyers re-
peatedly declared early IN the day such
prices would be paid for good hogs. But
none Of a grade acceptable or which could
expect to command that price appeared,
and the market for what was sold was
quotable as strong, with a split 10 cents
higher. The top price for wagon Hogs
was 1856 and only one car went at that
figure, the other two sales at the price
being inconsequential wagon hogs, sell
ing very well. The most of the car hogs
sold around $3.50. with two point above
and one a point below. The tops were
The same as on Wednesday, only that
wagon hogs yesterday alone could reach
IL, while on the day previous two car loads
and two good punches Of local stuff
brought it. The average weight is an in
dication Of the low grade stuff which
prevailed among the seven cars offered
on sale through the day yesterda. 219
was the weight for these seven, while
2$S was the weight for Wednesday, and
20 for Thursday Of last week. 244 pounds
was the heaviest weight for car hogs yes
terday, and these were the last to cross
over the scales on the close and sold we'll
though Of no particular attraction. The
demand was good. the shipping call for
eastern orders taking practically all the
offered hogs. 1t was a disappointment
that no more and better hogs did not
reach the yards, as the stuff bought was
below the desired grade, but at the same
time was eagerly taken in and strong
prices paid for it.

dustry, says: Laboratory Investigations
in the use of serum for treating hog chol-
era and swine plague have been carried
on by this bureau for several years, and
with such favorable results that, upon
your direction, the treatment was given
an enlarged field in Page county, Iowa.
The work conducted there during the sea-
son of 1897 showed that the treatment
saved about 50 per cent of the animals in
jected. The results in 1898 have been ex-
ceedingly satisfactory and tend to confirm
those Of the previous year. SO much in
terest has been manifested in this work
that this article on the subject of serum
treatment for hog cholera and swine
plague has been prepared by DR.. de

Plate demand continues out Of all proper

those in any other line. The cast iron
pipe consolidation is practically completed,
as is that of the leading car works.
