Hogs-Receipts, $500; shipments small
The hog market opened With statesmen
asking higher prices, but with very little
inquiry from the order trade. Packers We're
i'm position to be rather independent, and
for the most part refused to follow any
advance. Finally the trading was moder-
ately active. and sales show that in some
instances, at least, there was little more
strength in values than yesterday, and the
average was considered strong. The re-
ceipts this week are nearly 5000 smaller
than last week. and about the same as the
corresponding week year ago. Thus far
this year there is decrease of over $1,000
compared with the same period last year.
For the week ending yesterday local pack
ers bought $500, against 1850 last week,
and the shipments for the same period
were nearly 9.0O0 against 1900 last week.
The market for the week opened with a
good advance in prices. but later there was
a sharp reaction. and the average at the
low time in the week was nearly 25c lower
than the high time. Prices current at the
close of the week were possibly shade
stronger than the low time, and nearly 81
per 100 pounds higher than at this time a
year ago. Quotations:

House Proceedings.
The House was opened with prayer on
yesterday by Rev. George III. Spooner, OF
, the Trinity Methodist church.
The Speaker laid before the House a
communication from the Attorney General,
in response to resolution of the House,
asking what action Gf any had been
taken to compel the payment of arrear-
ages of taxes due by certain banks Of the
State.
The clerk then read a veto message
from the Governor on a bill offered by
Mr.. Madison, of Newport News, to in
crease the number of land assessors for
the county Of Warwick. The Governor s
veto was sustained by unanimous vote.
The House then agreed to postpone the
consideration OF the Parks employers LA
bility bill until l o'clock to-day
The consideration of the calendar was
then resumed. and when Senate bill 2s3
was reached, the House was treated to
long debc.ie on the oyster question. Messrs.
Matthews, Petit. Hunley and Madison
favored the bill, and Mr.. Pitcher opposed
it. The bill provided for the reduction OF
the bonds of oyster inspectors and had
already passed the Senate. Mr.. Pitcher
! took advantage of the opportunity to
make a general speech on the oyster
question. Several members desired to ask
the gentleman from Fauquier questions,
but he declined to be Interrupted. The
bill was finally passed
The bill offered by Mr.. Anderson. OF
j Richmond. amending the land-grabbers'
; act then came up as 4 special order, and
upon a motion to postpone, a long debate
was had. Colonel Anderson thought it
| should go over until the liability bill could
be disposed of, 50 as not to cause con-
fusion.
Mr.. John Whitehead Of Norfolk, made
| strong speech for immcdiate considera-
ton. After several other speeches the
| matter was postponed until o'clock n
! Friday next, when it will come up as a
SPECIAL and continuing order.
! The House then, on motion of Captain
| r. IS Parks of Page. reconSldered the
vote by which the employers liability bill
| was postponed as a special order until /
! o'clock to-day. and the measure was again
taken up and ordered to its engrossment
| and third reading.
Mr.. Willard, of Fairfax, moved that the
