Yesterday was another mean March
day and the North End interests caught
the worst Of it so long as the wind was
in the south. The Dold works, located
as it is, with a bleak front against the
gale catches all the debris from the
ploughed fields directly south, and there
are wide stretches of them, as we'll as the
several streets leading up TO Twenty
first street. All south front windows are
protected with the finest meshed screens,
so finely wired that one can scarcely
blow breath through them, and yet the
fine sand and dust wOuId sift through
fla spite Of all protection making the lit
tie army of accountants, clerks and
amanuenses grimy and greatly annoyed.
When the wind switched to the north
peace and calm, and sweet luxuriant joy
settled down like the dulcet gentle, sooth-
ing relief after the raging tempest is
past and gone, and where had been woe
and grief, were all smiles and joy.
Considering the two heavy days com
ing together and the lateness Of the
final rush of hogs on the close, the buy
ers cleaned up the heavy receipts very
nicely. Several belated cars We're way
too late to receive o bid. but they wiz
be welcome today. The buyers protect
the shippers and the market in a very
liberal manner every day in the year.
Everything is moving along as fast as
possible about the new Dold slaughter
house, and though many details are
bound to appear, an vii soon be adjusted
and killing of hogs and cattle Initiated
in the new house. AS it is, just the same
amount of slaughtering goes on all the
time, but at a disadvantage TO the work
men.
