sHIPPERs BEST BUYERS.


There has been about the usual nuctuaton In
prices OF hogs this week. and the changes from
day to day have not been surprising in either
direction. The week opened with the tendency
lower. in sympathy with other markets, but i'm
mediately values rallied, and on Tuesday were
a little stronger than at the close Of last week
On Wednesday there another reaction IN
prices OF sc TO 10c. but Thursday all OF this
loss was regained. and. In fact. the average for
this day trifie stronger than on TUESDAY
At the extreme close Of the week the supplies
were small. and with strong demand the mar
ket responded with another upturn in values.
At the extreme close prices were the highest OF
the week. and in extreme cases 2oc higher than
the close Of last week but for an average prob
ably not over I5c higher In their present posi-
lion prices are the highest they have been since
Nov. 9, and the top price to-day IL 25c higher
than the beginning Of this month and Soc higher
than the low price at the close OF last November
The quality OF current offerings has been gen
orally very satisfactory. ana the average weight
probably a trife heavier than last week. Pack
ers usual were rather reluctant in following
the advance in prices, and bought 1000 less hogs
than last week, but the market was featured 10y
a very strong shipping demand. and the total
shipments OF the week exceeded last week eco

The past week has recorded continued i'm

favorable feature has been the inclement wealth

But this factor has had very much effect,
a. large proportion OF the orders coming in
now are for spring delivery.
Dry soods houses report an increasing business
In the wash goods lines. Even under the I'M
favorable weather conditions the sale Of sew
eral lines Of the high-gTa0e wash goods IS very
large. General conditions IN the dry goods mar
ket are Improving and the leading houses are
looking for the largest spring trade this year
they ever had. The advancing tendency Of cot
ton goods and calicos does not have the least
tendency 10 reduce trade.
Dealers in footwear report more activity in
the rubber goods lines the past week, on ac-
count or the rain and snow. General trade in
these lines continues In a large volume

LONDON STOCK MARKET.
Peace i'm the Far East Expected to
Cause Boom.

LONDON. Jan. 24.-The condition of the Stock
Exchange for the past week seems to indicate
the possibility of a boom should the far Eastern
crisis be settled peacefully. Almost all prices
showed recovery, although business was very
moderate
One OF the chief features OF the week was the
strength OF the American market, both for bonds
and shares. which brought largely from
the United States and Germany. Berlin oper-
atOrs are still very optimistic regarding peace
between Russia and Japan. but the confidence
in American securities appears 10 be based on
the belief that localized would greatly
benefit trade in the United States and British
railways.
Foreign securities including Japanese Chinese
and Russians. all participated in the recovery
The only exception was the Kaffir market, where
there complete stagnation.
