Some Shippers Had Urgent
Orders
ACTIVITY IN HOG MARKET
There Was Demand by Shippers But
scaIpers and Packers Hold AIoof,
the Latter on the Early Market -
Sheep and Lambs Both Strong and
in Demand.

Chicago March 10.-Cattle The
meagre Tuesday supply was not taken
very readily, but there was an under
current of strength to the market, and
keen to buy, but there We're some ship
pers with urgent orders.
Shippers had no complaint to make
about the Lenten season in the east.

could get to them. A year ago now
the top OF the cattle market WAS $6I5.
but the bulk of the supply was selling
ut about the present level.

The market was active and steady.
chiefly the result of demand by ship
pers. Scalpers held aIoof, as did
packers on the early market.
Doubtless muddy roads will be a fac
tor in the movement during the next
few weeks, and more irregularity. both
as to prices and supply. may be ex-
,ected. 1t is evident. however, that &c
does not fetch The hogs as formerly.
and suspicion exists that it may be
necessary to put the country market
on Age basis to get another run OF
considerable proportions.
Quality was not good. and it is evil
dent that in Chicago territory the
scraping process has begun.
The average weight of hogs re-
ceived at Chicago last week was 21l
lbs. against PIP the previous week,
and 227 a wear ago
Sheep.
Both sheep and lambs were strong.
Good lambs We're in demand, and
prime sheep were also wanted.

These, through an exceedingly slow
and gradual process Of the survival
Of the fittest, have come to form the
staples Of food in common use by the
human race all over the world. 1t is
really astonishing how comparatively
few there are Of them, when we come
to consider them broadly: the flesh

msmoANa iN TEXAS SCHOOLS
Children Of Wealthy Families Eduest
ed ln SAN Antonio.

Ten carloads Of school children from
Mexico have arrived In this city since
the influx began about two weeks ago,
says the San Antonio Express.
Scores Of them were accompanied
by their parents. and the hotels Of the
city have been indebted, in no small
degree, to this class Of visitors for the
brisk conditions which have been ex-
perienced by them during the last sew
eral weeks
Many Of the children travelled from
their distant homes alone or in pairs
or trios, while It WIS no uncommon
sight to see parties Of nine or ten
from the same localities across the
Rio Grande at the various hotels.
Nearly all the school equipment and
wearing apparel for the entire year are
purchased for these children here in
San Antonio before they enter their
respective schools, and the CONNER
cial Importance Of their annual visit
can easily be imagined.
Their parents, too, before returning
home, spend several days in the city
purchasing large quantities Of Ameri-
can goods to take back with them to
Mexico, and as the majority OF them
are persons of great wealth and social
position at home, their expenditures
amount to thousands Of dollars.
OF all the children from Mexico who
are educated in the United States the
schools Of San Antonio secure over
70 per cent. Not only on account Of
the proximity Of the city to the bor-
der, but also because of the general
excellence Of the schools and the
healthful climate and surroundings ex-
perienced here San Antonio has al
ways been the favorite place with the
Mexicans for their children to obtain
an English education.
