5HEHf-lhefe were only about three cars
OF sheep here today, so there was not
enough with which 70 make a fair test Of
the market. A bunch Of ewes sold at $3.50,
which was pronounced a good. strong price.
For the week receipts have been very light
but as compared with the same week OF last
year the supply was nearly three times as
large. The demand, though. was sufficient
TO take all that was offered at good. strong
prices. Each days offerings changed hands
freely and the week closed WITH a good,
strong undertone 10 the trade. There has
been very little change In the prices paid
all the week, so that the market can best
be described by calling II active and strong

HOGS-There was a very light run here
this morning and the market opened right
around a dime higher on the heavy hogs.
The lightweights were somewhat neglected
and in most cases did not advance as much
as the heavy hogs; the better weights sold
Weighing S37 pounds at $6.52h; the lighter
loads sold largely at S6.45 and from that
down TO $6,25 for a load Weighing 1S9 pounds.
Trading was fairly active, so that the bulk
was soon disposed OF. A late train arrived
about II o'clock, after packers had their
more urgent orders filled, so that the close
OF the market was slow and weak, es-
pecially on the lightweights.
The receipts for the week have been very
light, showing quite a decrease, both as
compared with last week and with the cor
responding week of last year. The table
above will show the exact ngures. Owing
to the moderate offerings and the good de-
mand prices advanced steadily all the week.
showing a net gain OF 35q40c. This advance
carries the market TO the highest point

Now since the welcome and re.
freshlng rains have fallen, and
farmers spirits revi, ed, l am able
to take up my old pen that has
been silent for some II ne. and tell
you good and dear readers of our
dear old "Farner' that we sons
of the soil are yet in these woods,
and pulling on undaunted by many
trials and tribulations.
Beyond doubt the corn crop
for miles and miles around Will
fall far below any previous crop
in these parts, while cotton Is do
ing all that could be expected, con-
sidering the prolonged dronth.
The writer has travelled for some
distance in all directions from this
place III the past few weeks, and l
ind that crops of all kinds will
surely fall short this harvesting
