the tail end of the list and simply took
IN few inconsequential :o1s OF wagon

Mr. John Norris, senior member Of the
well known stock firm of Norris & Yazel.
Of Furley, and among the oldest who con-
sign to this market, was a visitor at the
yards yesterday.
Last Saturday at the Dold plant was
the heaviest last day of the week ever
experienced in the history of the local
house, and this means considerable. since
the record has been many times broken
this past season, and eacn higher inch
in the upward climb seemed surely to
be the last. The present season has been
a remarkable one for the local house.
and all former signs and usual accepted
indications, have been wiped out as no
day in the week and no especial class Of
produce have prevailed. Usually all over
Saturday has ever been a light day. and
only certain classes of meats called for:
but Of late any and all days are all the
same and all specialues and staples and
standard cuts have had their inning. and
as result the wholesale market forces
nave come to the situation of being al
ways prepared for anything. All Sunday
the office staff and the market gang. the
dock and wagon forces, and every depart
ment save the killing and cutting floors,
were busy all day until dark trying to
catch up, rendered necessary by the
heavy demands from all quarters for the
Wichita house products. Yesterday was
but repetition Of the same story. The
jobbing and express business was extra
heavy for Monday. and all departments
contributed to the large line of stock sent
out. In other words, the merits of any
article advertise themselves and speak
for themselves, and it is all summed up
by the registered trademark, 'If It's
Dold's It's The Best"
Col. r. T. Bean OF the Wichita Live
Stock Commission company, was again
at his office yesterday, after a severe in |
caused first by cold, or sum
mer grip. and followed by an attack of
malaria. He is welcome back and all the |
yards contingency hope he will continue
to improve
Mr.. c. L. Hockaday of the HocBlday |
Wholesale Hardware company of this city !
was a visitor at the Dold Packing house
On Sunday afternoon, and expressed sur
prise at the activity all the time going
on there.
Provisions yesterday were dull and
Easy. Commission houses were moderate
sellers of lard and ribs, packers buying.
There was some investment demand for
January ribs. The hog market was
shade lower. Cash lard closed steady al
. .27l5 and cash ribs also steady at s. .171A.
All the switch gangs Of tae various
Dads have been overworked with The
arge receipts Of cars Of meats from the
Kansas City bold house, and are not dis
appointed or regretting that it is about
ver. They, with Mr.. Gallagher's office
nd the bold mana cement, have had a
ough time OF it, but all have respectively
one faithfully their duty and now the
abstraction remains of having accom-
lished big undertaking.
ABATTOIR RATE WAR.
Last nights dispatches give the follow

ecome involved in the rate war on pack
