opened with the demand from outside sources
less urgent, and 1t was evident that shippers
had considerably lower limit their orders.
Packers. Of course, could not let the opportunity
pass and fully determined to press the
market far as possible. Therefore IL was

after ths market settled prices were big lOc

i5c lower than the high time AT the decline
shippers bought several hogs, but the opposition
strong yesterday and the morning
receipts were not transferred as early. Later IN
the day shippers bought little more freely at
the decline in prices. and with packers buying
the usual number. a very fair clearance was
finally made. Kingan & Co, who bought about
6.5oo hogs. claimed they would cost close to lie
less than yesterday. The closing market was a
trfhe quiet. but very little. il any, lower than

Illinois Central's Inteutions.

The report that the Illinois Central con-
templates building into Des Moines is said
by representative of the company to
be without foundation. He says it is mere
ly revival of the old story of line from
Omaha to Des Moines. Illinois CentraTs
energies, so far as they are devoted to new
construction, are concentrated on double
tracking and general betterments of its
main line, especially Southern lines. This
work is imperative in view of the great in
crease in the volume of traffic seeking an
outlet through New Orleans. Completion
or this work will give the road a very
favorable grade from Its northern lines to
New Orleans The development of business
towards the gulf probably will be heavier
than the movement of return freight but
the natural grades of the new line will
make IL possible in both directions to ham
die heavy trainloads at low ratio of on
eratinS expenses The company already
has ample facilities for handling a large
business at New Orleans
