SHIPPERS AND NOTES.

The Wichita. hog market has resumed
/ its former activity. Come on with youh
hogs if you have COON ones.
IT the cattle market here keeps on
growing it viii pretty soon be entitled to
the front seat IN the market column.
Billy Wallace, the former hog buyer for
/ the Dold packing house, was az the yards
yesterday. There We're limitations that
he was going to buy hogs for somebody.
The big Watson mills manage to keep
up steam. but it is pretty hard for them
TO get wheat. Mr.. Watson sent out bids
on wheat al over the southwest yester-
/ day. and in spite of the fact that he bid
Kansas City prices, he only got two car
loads The farmers seem to be deter
mined to hold their wheat for higher
prices, but some OF these nice days
there viii be an avalanche Of wheat on
the market
W. +. Corners. Of Kiugman. concluded
| that Wichita had a pretty good cattle
market. and he brought in three car loads
of mixed cattle yesterday. He seemed TO
think he did well by coming here. q
kaufman & O'Nen. Of KiOwa, marketed
a car load of hogs yesterday. Some peo-
pie consider that kiOwa is west of the
corn belt. but it somehow happens that
a good many hogs come from that sec
ton to this market.
Horton & Campbell, of Caldwell. are
among the most regular shippers Of hogs
to this market They had another load
on the market yesterday.
Con r. Rawlins, of Hutchinson, sent in
car load of hogs yesterday, and a half
dozen Of them were found dead in the
car when they arrived. Some of the
stocl1yards people thought the hogs died
because the car was not properly bedded.
Among the we'll known shippers who
had hogs on the market yesterday We're:
Gano d Hoag, Of Medicine Lodge; Foster
X Chcesman, of Whitewater; House &
Wolf Of Newton, Cal Stewart of White
water. and W. H. Logan. of Sterling.
Y. +. Cole, of Laredo. marketed a car
of hogs yesterday, and he brought eight
lambs in the car with the hogs that
sold Tor $40 per hundred
{. Z. Cole, OF Ait. Hope. used to buy
light hogs and kick when he sold them,
but he has reformed. He has gone 10
buying good cattle, and now he IS almost
lovely in his disposition. Mr. Cole saws
cattle is the kind of stock to buy be-
cause the commission men cannot send
every sucker in the country out TO buy
cattle like they do with the hogs. He
thinks II takes a good head 10 buy cattle,
and in that he is right.
The electrician has placed the gener-
ators at the new Doid packing house.
and yesterday the big balance wheel of
the powerful engine began TO revOlve and
the generators began to hum. The cleo
triclan said the power must have some
thing 10 act on. He ran some wire into
big hOgShead of cold water on the outside
of the engine house. and in less time than
IL takes TO tell il the water in the hogs
head was boiling and f0aming. as II il had
been setting over = fiery furnace. Men
kent pouring cold water into the hogs
an going 10 steam. The switchboard in
dictated "a volts and 900 amDeres and
these the electrician said indicated 26f-
horse power. The new DOld packing
house Is going to be a hummer, and so
far as Wichita IS concerned the big fire
was blessing in disguise. For the old
plant the city will get one Of the very
best packing houses in the West.
