HOGS-Buyers started out this morning
bidding a shade lower prices. but there
was no trading, at least none to speak OF,
on that basis. Sellers seemed to feel that
the situation was favorable enough TO war
rant an advance and held onto their hogs;
A little later buyers raised their hands and
the trade became active with prices -gener-
ally sc higher than yesterday, The hogs
sold largely at s. 9096.9 2h, with a top at
SOO. II will be remembered that yesterday
almost half OF the hogs sold az s6SS. with
the bulk Of all sales at SeSSa6sIh and
top at $3.50.
The hog market has huctuated up and
down this week. The week started out
with an advance OF lOQl5c, part OF the
advance was lost the next day, but the
market recovered slightly on "Wednesday,
only to break sharply on Thursday In
fact the hogs on Thursday sold only a
shade better than at the close OF the pre-.
vious week. The advance yesterday and
today leaves the market l0Ql21kc higher
than Il was last Saturday. Today was the
hrst time hogs have reached 800 on this
market since April, 1903.

they would have been none too large under
ordinary conditions as the consuming de-

North Arkansas Road Com.
 ing through Btinkley.

Information was this week obtained from officials of the Missouri and Northwest Arkansas railroad, at Hell ena. to the effect that the road will be built through Biinkley
 Alderman Geo. Rich was in Helena "Wednesday and talked with the off cials about the matter. They were very explicit in speaking of the road coming through Brinkley, not even mentioning any other route as under consideration.
 This is the road which has been talked of quite bit the past few months. Several reports have been circulated and at different times to the effect that the road would pass to ths east and cut Brinkley out; but the matter now seems settled beyond question that Brinkley is favored.
 This road is not to be of the log road type but is to be an important connecting link of big trunk line.

Funny thing about how the taste of men who smoke cigars differ, said a Brinkley cigar dealer" live come customers who went smoke anything but Horace R. Kelly" they gen.r- ally are travelling men with headquart- CTS in Memphis. Then there gre others want the Henry Clay those men are generally from St. Lcuis. Then there are those who want that 5 cent favorite Anna Held they generally hail from Chicago. Hix Mallory, the Memphis travelling man. who sells these celebrated goods in this territory. says that the taste of the brinkley's smokers like that of the Washingtonians who hold that the Fl Toro is the finest cigar made.
