Anxiety for corn made that market an
active one from the start. Small stocks
and a large shortage for next months

September opened at 37sdSTssc, and in
the midst Of considerable excitement ad-
vanced to 3912c- The bulge brought out
considerable long stuff and as the fears
of shorts gradually subsidized, September
dropped back TO 3S1zc, at which the mar

close at 377sc. The cash demand was
light because Of the advance only 200. 0oO

Kansas reported hot and dry weather
and sent in advices Of damages at the
hands Of the signal service man.
Wheat was quiet and rather weak. The

northwest still dry and cool. The advices

HOG MARKET STEADY
With Pronounced Activity at
the Close.
TOP PRICE WAS $500
Demand Very Good and the
Supply Light.

Hogs opened steady yesterday and
prices ruled strong and active all day.
The receipts showed some signs Of pick
ing up, and a feeling exists that by the
end Of the month the yards viii be
very busy place The demand is still
very strong, and anything able to walk
on four feet is readily sold and eagerly
bought. Both Dold and Nashville are
keen TO get hogs, and a very lively COM
petition is kept up, much TO the oenent
of the shippers, who are getting almost
their own price for what they bring In,
Il they are not too unreasonable. At any
rate they are getting such a price hiatt
no one can afford 20 pass the AWichita
market. The quality Of yesterdays re-
celpts was fair, with one or two buncaes
OF good hogs among them.

STUDY N DIVORCE

dition to the aHmony during the trying OF
the suit
Several Of the petitioners own property
in the city and county and as usual
thing ask that they be allowed to re-
tain the property without interference
by the other party in the suit
The table in regard to the custody OF
the children, permanent alimony and the
granting Of the former name is as fol-
lows:
Custody Of ren....................... &c
Permanent aIimony. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. II
Former name ..............-.-.,.-...... 10
The amount Of the alimony asked in
one OF the petitions is 81 800 and the pc
titioner owns property in her name which
she asks the court TO allow her to re-
tain This is probably the largest case
regarding the amount OF alimony asked
that will come up during the September
term OF court
In the matter Of the court allowing
the women their former names invari-
ably those who have been married less
than three years, ask for the court 20
give their former name. One case one wo-
man was married the second time and af-
terward asked for a divorce, she petit
toned the court for her former name,
that Of the first husband.
Another petition which is interesting Is
one in which the wife petitions the court
to grant her an absolute divorce on the
grounds that her husband had deserted
her. In one cause for action she states
that he is guilty Of crime and that at
the time of the petition being fled was
confined in the county jail. Whether this
is the cause Of the desertion, Or whether
the wife took advantage Of mis- confine-
ment to bring the suit. is not known
A noticeable thing in some Of the petit
tons is the statement that the defend
ant has called the petitioner different
abusive names. This matter is not con-
fined TO the men alone, for in one petit
ton in which a divorce is asked BY the
husband, extreme cruelty and the Is Of
vile names. seems to be one Of the prin-
ciple causes for action.
There are always certain number Of
divorce cases which ever come to trial
owing to their being settled outside Of
court There will be perhaps some Of
the number on the docket which win be
dismissed before the converting OF the
court
