the losses sustained on the other roads.
They claimed that the sreat quantity Of

that line that would exceed the expendi-

The manager stated that the freight
business had been treated as a whole. and
that perhaps the Georgetown and Tenley-
town traffic could sustain at least one
freight car though it was apparent that
certain other branches of the electric sys-
TEN could not It was finally agreed by
the railroad representatives to give the
Georgetown and TenIevtOU-u limo what
they asked for for thirty days with the
understanding that if il was found during
that time that the freight business was

Cattle Market Moves Along

MARKET 5 TO 10 HIGHER

The receipts OF hogs we're not large
yesterday. but they we're fully up to ex-
pectations for Friday. The buyers al
wanted hogs, and trading was unusually
active. and there was a good deal OF
competition extending even to the wagon
deliveries. There Wes competition for
the hogs, and il did rot seem 10 make
any difference whether the offerings con
sisted OF q fun car load or one hog. If
they were good, they were wanted The
top price yesterday vas SIS, but the
hogs that brought this price were good
ones, and Just as cheap 10 the packer as
those that sold for les than SIX dollars.
When the quality OF the offerings are
considered the sales yesterday showed an
advance Of > 10 10 cents higher, with the
greatest advance on the best hogs. The
sale pens were cleared at the close, and
one load that arrived after the market
had closed was weighed up al s. 121z. and
they viii count on the buyers order for
today. There is a strong demand for
good, wen finished hogs, but the buyers
are getting more light and rough hogs
thal they want. Commission men are
warning the country shippers that they
must not expect top prices for HABITAT
or rough hogs. All classes are selling on
this market for good prices as compared
with other markets but II should be re-
membered that It Is the weIl-fuished,
