Hogs-Receipts, $500; shipments, 1,5O0.
With quite an active demand from order
buyers the hog market opened with strong
competition and the first transactions were
at sharply higher prices than yesterday.
Local packers refused to follow the ad-
vance, and later there was an easier ten
dency. Afterward sales were made slowly
at irregular prices, and the last sales show
that good part of the early advance had
been lost For an extreme. one load of
fancy hogs averaging 237 lbs, marketed by
Abe Mitchell. of Bridgeton. Ind, sold at
$3.50. The receipts this week are 5000
smaller than last week and 1900 smaller
than the same week a year ago. The re-
cepts so far this year are nearly $4,000
smaller than the same period last year. The
market for the week opened strong, but
later there was reaction of 714Q10c, and at
the close of the week prices rallied again,
leaving the average 1Od15c higher than the
low time. quotations:

Sheep-Receipts, light; shipments, none.
There were not many fresh arrivals or
sheep or lambs, and as usual at the close
of the week, the market was quiet at
quotably unchanged prices. The receipts
this week show an increase of about 100
over last week and decrease of 500 COM
pared with the same week year ago.
Thus far this year there is a decrease of
over 1000 compared with the same period
last year. From the beginning to the close
of the week there has been a good demand
from all sources for fat stock, and when
ever the quality would justify it has been
possible to obtain strong prices, and in
some instances, under the influence of very
strong competition, it was claimed that
outside prices were paid. For an extreme
lambs sold as high as $6.25 and sheep as
high as S425 A larger amount of stock
could be used in this market to good ad-
vantage. Quotations.

none Fresh and stale, there was a very
fair supply of cattle on sale, considering
this is the close of the week. Nearly all
local killers were represented in the market
and sales were usually at steady prices
compared with yesterday. Steers sold as
high as $3.50, heifers as high as LAO, cows
as high as s4.25 and bulls as high as 81.
The receipts this week have been rather
small, showing a decrease of 400 compared
with last week and the same week a year
ago. Thus far this year the receipts are
not quite as large as the same period last
year. The very dull and Indifferent demand
that characterized the trade last week wac
Ierceptible a greater part of this week, and
it was very difficult for statesmen to nego-
tiate sales at what they considered the
market value of the stock. With the mod
crate supplies, however, prices did not
show any important change until near the
close of the week, when, with more favora-
hle weather and consequently better in
curry from all sources, there was a general
advance of 10c to 15c compared with prices
current earlier in the week, and In some in
stances it was claimed that steers sold zoe
higher than the close of last week. Quota

group, with total for each approach
ing 400. OF the other states, New
York and California lead with SIP
and 422, respectively. 1t is a grew
some competition. When population
is considered Texas has one murder to
each 2,9SS; Colorado has one to 2,lO2.
This leaves the banner with Colorado
where special conditions and the class
OF unruly citizens they bring are
doubtless responsible. The lesson
from this table is plain. 1t is that
ignorance, bred Of shiftlesSness and
poverty, is the great breeder of mur-
der. Where the average OF intelli-
gence is the greatest there is the least
