HOGS WERE WEAK
Market Suffered Small De-
cline Yesterday.
TOP PRICE WAS $3.50
Quality of Hogs Was Better
Than Day Previous.

The hog market was weak and lower
and in some instances hogs sold q:
cents below the prices Of the day before
The market opened steady, but reports
from other western markets were dis
couraging from the start, and decline
was finally established. In many in
stances, however, sales were made at
steady prices, while in others they were
off about 21s cents.
The top of the market was $3.50, while
the bulk was S.55G4.57 The top was
~ cents higher than the day before, but
this was due to the quality of the hogs
being considerably better. This also was
the cause Of the bulk being the same as
the previous day. The market closed
firm and at prices about steady as com
pared with Thursday.
The receipts yesterday were rather
light, the total receipts being 800. The
effects Of the recent storm are still felt
as the farmers have difficulty in getting
hogs to market. The car-lot receipts ar
rived fairly early and the market closed
at the usual time. There was a fairly
good run of wagon hogs in spite of the
Rad condition of the roads. They sold
for good bulk prices, somewhat lower on
the average than the day before.
The quality Of the run of hogs yester-
day was generally good, and considerably
better than the day before and several
DAYS previous. OF late there has been
heavier runs OF common hogs and yes
terdays receipts were considerably above
the average. The market compared well
with other western markets. In Kansas
City hogs sold weak to 5 cents lower,
while in other western markets swine
ranged from weak to steady.

LITTLE HOPE FOR cRoNJE.

In HIS Perilous Position.

London. Feb. 24.-If Cronje is in the
position Observation-Disclosures fire of six field
batteries, one howitzer battery and five
naval guns-his situation must be des-
perate. He has to stand up to the pro-
jectiles of forty-seyen guns, many of
them OF large caliber, and this total
probably was greatly Increased Wednes-
day, as, even without the horse artillery,
Lord Roberts should have 80 or 100 guns
available. New batteries are now ar
irving at the Cape. and we may presume
that they are being sent to him, tho as

campaign in progress.
.Ali the information receive from
th. united kingdom leaGs me to believe
that recruiting there is extremely un-
popular. and that tne volunteer force
which they now purpose raising Will be
far below their expectations. Rosebery
has publicly said that it might be that
not more than 5o,Oo0 would volunteer,
and has warned the public not to ex-
pect a greater number of enlistments
but from what have heard they will be
lucky if they get 10000.
The way the militia has been mall
treated has not tended to make the
army popular. The militia, which was
| organized only for service within tht
boundaries of the united kingdom, has
now been compelled 10 so into active
and, ] think, absolutely illegal service
