Market GOSSIP.

mdTNSI 1OSStPs
Chicago, Jan. 1S.-Eyerett Brown, of
the BrownSt. John Company, said the
reason we had $4,000 less hogs this week
than last was that packers broke the
market so that farmers could not get
paid Sc for their hogs in the country by
local buyers. Farmers are generally
bullish, and il they can not get their fig
ures will feed until they can. Most of
the weak holders have shipped their
hogs, and Mr.. Brown thinks we have
seen the heaviest receipts and lowest
prices Of the winter.
The Journal says: ABE Cain, of
Lohrville, Iowa, had in five loads of cat
tie Thursday. He refused to sell them
that day and they were all sold Friday
at 1o@15 cents higher prices than the
day before he had twenty-seven l, 334-
pound steers selling at $685. and fifteen
yearings, averaging 1893 pounds. at
$685.. These two punches were fed on his
Bagley ranch by his son. William Cain.
Mr.. Cain, who is one OF the largest cat
tie feeders in Iowa, says that so many
of the habitat cattle have been mar
keted that the demand for corn is much
lighter than it was. He says the bulk
OF the cattle have been marketed and
that nothing can prevent higher prices
later on. He looks for a cattle famine
during the summer

A BACKYARD GYMNASIUM.
New Use to Which a Cramped City
Space Has Been Put.

From the New York Post.
The back yards of New York have been
put to many uses, but it is not often that
one sees the little heightened Enclosure
converted into an open-air gymnasium.
There is such an athletic institution, how
ever, in one Of the yards in West 9th
street. and its inventor is firTaly convinced
that neither the original plan nor his treat
ment of it can be improved upon. The
yard is 5Ox30 feet, isIpaved with cement
and has twelve-foot-high fence inclosing
it. The original paths, cut, through the
cement for the use of, the laundress. have
been filled in, SO that! the surface is now
perfectly smooth The ownef's object in
extending the height of the fence was to
give him sufficient wall space for squash
ball court, and, but for the lack Of a CELL
ing. his court conforms In all other essen
tial details to the regulation court.
Those who have played squash ball know
how fast game 1t can be made for the
player and how interesting one for the
spectators. When the fnushy Squashy thud
is heard of an afternoon in y7th street. all
Of the windows in the neigfiborhood are
thrown open and filed with keen followers
Of the sport. , 70
In the center of the court hole has been
drilled deep enough to hold tether ball
pole; the cement Is firm enough to act as a
casing, and thus to allow the pole to be
taken out when any other game is being
played. Even five-minute game Of tetheT
ball before breakfast affords more violent
exercise than the average New York citizen
gets in week.
Along a side wall of this gymnasium
there Is diminutive SWITCHBOARD, with
folding legs. When this is not in use it is
leaned up against the rear wall Of the
house, out OF the way. A number of easily
movable exercisers have also been placed
along the side wall. The inventor declares
that he gets at least an hours work out
Of his gym" every day.
