HOGS WERE STEADY
Market Was Firm But Trifle
GrOggy,
TOP PRICE WAS S4.65
Poor Quality of Offerings
Prevented Higher Tops.

The hog market yesterday was steady
opened steady, with quite a firm feeling
IN spite Of lower and discouraging reports
from other markets. The price was Kept
UP during the day, although at times
trading was dull and sales were not made
rapidly. This. however. was greatly due
70 the poor grades Of hog in, Which rather
discouraged the buyers.
The quality Of the hogs yesterday was
poor. The general rpm was eonmon'
there not being a toppyi load Of hogs Of
fered. There were few loads which could
really be called good although quite a
number were fair in quality. There was
q great difference between the quality OF
the offerings yesterday and those Of the
dav before, which were excellent.
There was a fair run Of hogs IN Tor
Saturday, although 1t was considerably
lighter than for several Saturdays past.
There were few wagon hogs on the mar
ket but this was undoubtedly due to the
bad roads, which without doubt also af-
fected the supply Of car lot receipts to
q considerable extent
The top price Of the day was 81. IS.
while the bulk OF the sales went at 5000
s.65. The top was OF ~ cents, as COM
pared with the day before, but this was
due to the poor quality Of the hogs and
not to the prices. Had choice heavy and
medium weight packers been on the mar
bet the top and the bulk would have been
the same.
The -hipments arrived fairly early for a
Saturday. What wagon hogs were placed
on the market arrived early and the car
TeCeipts were all in at an early hour in
the af.arnoCn. and the market closed con-
siGorabiy earlier than it has for +sOme
time mast.
Tie market compared well with other
western markets. The market here was
steady. while Chicago quoted the mar
ket as being cents lower. Kansas City
called the market weak to cents lower,
while 81. Louis sent out the report that
rs market was slow.

SHIPPERS AND NOTES.

Harvey Grace Of Cheney was in yes
terday with 8 good load Of heavy hogs,
which brought the top price of the day.
Mr. Grace is one Of the heaviest shippers
in southern Kansas, and deals on this
market exclusively. He has been ship
ping here for years. and says that Wich-
tia has the best market in the west. He
was pleased with his sale yesterday. MI
Grace has not shipped as many hogs
thus far this year as usual. and attributes
the cause to the fact that hogs in his
vicinity are not as plentiful as they have
been in years past.
Taylor K Mccormick the heavy ship
pers Of Oklahoma City, had in three
loads OF hogs yesterday. They were some
what off IN quality. but brought a good
price for the grade. taylor * McCor-
inick are probably the most extensive
shippers in Oklahoma. and have buyers

homa City and all through the Indian
country.
John RatcIif. the well known cattle

Of hogs yesterday, which sold for the

CORN HAS IHE FLOOR
Monied Spectators Purchase

Other Markets improved

Chicago. Feb. 10.-The center Of interest
on the board of trade was shifted to the
corn pit, that market being exceptionally
strong and active, May closing %Q5sc over
yesterday. Wheat, Influenced by corn and
better cables, closed firm, May nc up.
IOats closed 9sG11c improved and provis-
ions also a trife better. There will be
no Session Of the board on Monday.
1t was sad session for short sellers
in the corn pit for the coarse cereal,
after an early gain on which traders con-
fidently sold more than they had bought,
failed TO follow its usual custom OF re-
acting, and climbed still higher. Trade
was active and large and the crowd
greater than in any other pit The in
fuence Of Its strength overspPeed the
whole floor. The source OF the market S
power was something Of a problem. An
enormous shipping business was claimed,
but New York reported only fifty boat
loads taken for export. Offerings from
Illinois, from which Chicago has recent
ly drawn most OF its supply, were very
small, and receipts-4S6 cars here-moder-
ate The main influence, however, seem
ed to be the large purchases made by
monied spectators, whose actions were

for the day, successful. May sold from

and closed S4q7sc up, at 341zc.
Wheat was firm, without being very
active Better cables, due largely 10
smaller worlds shipments, and the ex-
ceptional strength of corn, were the In
iuences. New York reported six loads
taken for export, and seaboard clear
ances in wheat and -four were 557,Gl0
bushels. Primary receipts We're $4,000
bushels, against $4,000 last year. May

The oats market was strong on good
general demand. Receipts here were Il
cars. May closed at 2S7sc, $sQ12e over
yesterday.
The market for provisions was not a
big one. weak hog market was felt
at the opening, which was lower for pork,
but steady for lard and ribs. This was
recovered, the strength of corn being a
factor. The demand was fair and offer
ings light. May pork closed Eac over
yesterday. at $ll.121a; May lard &lac up,
