In and about the Stock Yards.

The packers want more hogs this week.
Shippers Who come 20 this market can
rely on the buyers giving them a fair
oenl.
The gas question was thoroughly dis
icussed at the stock yards yesterday AMI
some OF the boys suggest thar Fred Dold
ought TO sink q well 10 see if that gas IS
really under his packing house
BY the time the farmers get ready to
sell hogs freely the Improvements at the
Cudahy plant viii be completed and about
two thousand hogs q day will be its ca
pacity
1x-Mayor Cox has letters from cattle
feeders in he eastern part of this state
asking if 'they can buy stock hogs here
q run with their cattle The commission
men at the yards say that they can not
hear Of any stock hogs 10 sell in Wich-
fra's territory. The farmers in southern
Kansas and Oklahoma seem to have corn
enough to feed their pigs and they even
refuse to sell very many light hogs. The
Topeka Capital publishes a story to the
effect that there are plenty f pigs for
sale down in Woods coUn,y. oklahoma.
weighing $50 to 200 pounds. for S3E5 and
$3.50 per cWt. Two hundred pound hogs
are the fsvorite weights with the packers
at this time and if pigs down in Woods
county weigh two hundred pounds IT
would be interesting to know how much
the hogs weigh.
