PROVISION MARKET.

The provision market yesterday was
weak and lower. There was a general
decline in all futures. Pork declined
from 2lk to cents, while other products
dropped back an average Of ~ cents. The
market was rather slow and Grading was
by no means active. The decline is
thought to be a reaction from the high
prices Of the last week or So

HEAVY HOGS.
CATTLE.

The cattle market yesterday was trifle
slow and inactive. There was a light run
in ard the quality could have been much
better Trading did not begin EARLY and
was strung in small sales all during the
day Prices ruled steady and were well
in line with other markets in the west.

DGS FIVE HIGHER
Market Made a Satisfactory
Advance Yesterday.
TOP PRICE WAS S4.65
Cattle Market Was Fairly
Active and Steady,
TOP PRICE WAS S4.65

The hog market was 21z to cents high
er yesterday. The market opened strong
21s cents higher It advanced to cents
higher and fuctuated between the two
points all day. The tendency was rather
toward the higher point. Reports from
other western markets were encouraging
and resulted in the market being strong
ly sustained.
The quality yesterday was, on the
whole, good. The run Of hogs was con-
siderably better than has been in for
some days past There was on load on
the market which brought the top price,
which was quite an Improvement on any
which has been in for the past week. The
general quality as compared with the day
before was much better.
There was fair run Of hogs for a dull
Saturday, about 700 hogs coming in. There
were no wagon hogs on the market, this
no doubt being due to cold weather and
rough roads which deferred farmers from
attempting to bring their hogs 70 market.
Shippers say that the same reason caused
shipments TO be light for the past few
days.
The top price Of the day was s465,
which was paid for a fine load Of medium
hogs. The bulk went at A.571RG4. 90.
There were more medium light hogs in
than the heavier weights, but they
brought proportionateIy high prices and
the demand was excellent. The buyers
were eager to get hogs, notwithstanding
the fact that it was Saturday and they
would have to be held over,
The hog market here was the only one
in the west which registered an advance
during the day. This is q point which
shippers would do well to notice and care
fully observe. The hog market here was
from 23z to cents higher, while the
market in Chicago was reported as
steady. st. Louis quoted the market as
slow. while in Kansas City hogs sold
steaay to strong.

there is little discussion Of the situation
in China in clubs or diplomatic circles.
