.HOGS-The heavy receipts OF hogs con-
tinued today. so thai the supply for the
hrst four days of this week Is far ahead
of the supply for the same days OF last
week. Packers, of course. tried to pound
the market, and they succeeded to quite
an extent. The best heavyweight hogs In
most cases were not over sc lower, but all
others were fully a dime lower and very
slow sale at the decline. In fact packers
weight hogs on the opening market, and
as a result the market was very slow.
The better weights sold largely from $50
to 1913, and as high as $3.50 was paid for
prime hogs. The medium weights sold
loads went from $3.50 down. The quality
OF, the hogs and also the weights were
fairly good today, so that the market on
paper does not show the full amount OF
the decline. Representative sales:

night or so before the Both and made
arrangements to observe the day-the
first time the day has been observed in
Cavite. At 9 o'clock the tugs left the
! Cavite wharf with the band for the
| Canacao wharf.-the cemetery is at
Canacao. All the officers had been in
vited to assist us and most of them
we're there, special boat leaving the
yard for them. We formed in process
sion from the landing and marched to
the cemetery, escorted by guard OF
marines and their bugle corps. There
are twenty American soldiers, sailors
and marines buried at Canacao. The
day was intensely hot and the sand
which is very deep there fairly burned
one's'f feet and for that reason the exer-
cises were made as brief as possible.
Everything went off very nicely and
quietly, ending up with taps. A COM
mittee of us then went over to the
Carload (Catholic) cemetery where
there are five other Americans and
decorated their graves in like manner
with flags and flowers. / think that it
is very pretty custom and am very
glad that we turned out to honor those
who died in this far-off country for
their own country. The afternoon
passed very quietly in reading and
lounging about the house. In the
evening we went to minstrel show
aboard the flagship Rainbow; it was
very good for ship minstrel show
much better than the one | attended

o'clock. I thought often during the
day of how you were observing the day

We have new man by the name OF

45 years old and seems to have all his

Work has been quite brisk the past
week. We have our mineograph in

work, saving lots of duplicating on the
typewriter. You write one copy on the
typewriter and print the rest very
nicely. Its fine, think. We have al
SO received in this office a new copy
ing machine. You simply grind the
letters through and they are copied
without blurring; the machine takes
the place of the letter book. We have
also some new cabinets for filing cor
reSpondence and new card index for
correspondence, which is fine thing
and enables one to cross index his cor
respondence as much as he wishes and
at any time. We are trying hard to
get some more Office room but so far
have not succeeded.
1t seems good to have you write
