CHICAGO Horse Market.


Trade is of Increased volume in both
demand and receipts. Estimated arriv-
ais for the first five days of the week
total 1863. against 1851 for like period
last week. and 1921 for the cores
ponding dates last year With an m
crease of upward of 100 horses as com
pared with five days last week, the
general demand is of proportions to
clear the offerings without concessions
in prices Several large eastern oper-
ators would have enlarged their orders
for prime drafters If tie receipts had
been farther increased, as the volume
of demand exceeds the weeks supply.

near approach of the fall season when
orders are expected to be of ncrea sed
volume for all commercial classes. Big

A fancy grade Hereford steer,
shipped in last Monday by J. A. Fer
guson, of Mt. Sterling, dressed COL,
which was remarkably high. Mr.. Fer
guson had in a load of cattle that
reached $3.50, but this single animal
was much better than the others and
sold separately to Swift.
E. E. Petrie, of Hudson. had a car
of hogs on Thursdays market, which
sold al satisfactory prices. He reports
the corn crop backward in that part
of the country.
Huntsberry e. Duncan, of Winfield,
extensive shippers to the Chicago mar
ket, had three cars of cattle on We'd
nesday's market. Joe Duncan, who
accompanied the shipment, reports fat
cattle practically all gone from their,
section. Crop prospects good and the
country generally prosperous.
James Horrigan, Brooklyn, had two
loads of hogs on Wednesdays mar
ket that sold at $3.50 He was unfor-
tunate in arriving late in the day, as
earlier trading was to much better adj
vantage than then. In the shipment
was a 7OO-l lib hog. ]. G. Kensinger who
accompanied Mr.. Horrigan, speaking
of the crops there, stated that the corn
crop was in fair copdition, tho two
weeks late While the oats crop was
the poorest noted there in forty years.
Matured cattle are we'll shipped from
that part of the state, said he.
