J. I. Vandaveer Of Hackney was on
the market with a mixed car of stock,
the hogs bringing the top price, and the
cattle. which were good stockers, also
selling at the top of the day. Mr.. Hack

point and now cOnsigns all his offerings
here. but as he explains they are not so
plentiful in his section as formerly. He
gays he never before in his experience
saw that section so dreamed of hogs, and
Rll grades are now very scarce, although
he says that there will later on be a foir
line of hogs sent out from there, though
not near the amount of formerly. He
says this is the first load he has found

vest Last winter was a hard one and
