UNION sToCKYARDs RUN.

Union Stockyards, Stockdale. Oct.
$50 far AS the general livestock
situation is concerned there Is no
change in the local market.
OF more than passing notice at this
time, however, is the continued very
liberal run Of swine in the yards when
1t was believed by all that most of
the supplies had been exhausted. Fol-
lowing the recent good showing Of
supplies Of 437 head of hogs in the
yards during the past "a hours.
Market for good hogs Is Just as
good as It ever was during recent
days. There is continuation of the
liberal call for extra good quality and
OF these the market Is able to absorb
considerable more stock than it is re-
ceiving.
Only Poor Hogs Neglected.
1t seems almost like folly to ad-
wise shippers to retain their poor
quality hogs at home, for the more
this advice is given by those who have
only the best interests Of shippers at
heart the more liberal are the ship
ments In this direction.
Shippers cannot understand. It
seems. that there Is a season and time
for everything. There are times when
stockers and feeders are in better de-
mand in the local hog market than
are the finished porkers, but this is
not one Of those occasions Just at
the moment there Is only a nominal
call for this class Of swine and ship
pers sending them forth do so with
the full knowledge that the bottom is
liable 10 drop OF Of quotations almost
any day. while # they retained their
hogs until they were ready for the
block for packing houses, much bet
ter returns would be available and
seller. buyers and commission mer-
chants alike would bc more thorough
~ satisfied with the situation.
No Improvement In Cattle Call.
Not the slightest Improvement was
noted today in the call for cattle and
the future of the market rests entirely
within the hands OF shippers them
selves. While today's run OF cattle
was rather limited still the showing
during recent days has been too liberal
considering the full up condition Of
killers. Most Of them say they al
ready have more cattle thar they can
accommodate in their pens and there

than did Mcclellan when he Sent corps
after corps, alone and unsupported,
against the intrenched Confederates to
be shattered and decimated piecclneal?
Then, after the battle would Lee have
worn the bold front and aggressive at
titude with his crippled army, in spite
of and against the advice and entreaties
of his great captains, and this for an
entire day, when a vigorous and WELL
directed attack by the Union forces
would have destroyed him in an hour,
had he not known that Mcclellan would
not or could not act?
And at Gettysburg, where Gen. Meade
had marshaied his army with the celerI-
ty of a Napoleon, and after three days
terrific fighting had defeated Lee with
a loss so great that he never recovered
therefrom, and then remained compar-
atively inactive for more than 10 days,
allowing Lee to gradually and at his
leisure withdraw his forces and recross
the Potomac out of immediate danger
this in spite of almost hourly messages
from Lincoln and Stanton, urging him
to strike the finishing blow, which he
certainly had the power to do, having
received several thousand fresh troops?
Was there some mysterious power ox-
erted that rendered him incapable of
further action, forcing him to lose the
opportunity to annihilate his enemy and
thus to end the war? Let the psycholo-
gist answer.-E. Allen, Fainbury, Ill.

that he would not survive to meet them
again, so he concluded to write q letter
and trust to luck TO get it to them.
AS matter of fact, we We're at that
moment entirely surrounded, and IL we
were to reach Murfreesboro we must
fight our way thru the enemy's lines.
So my comrade got off TO one side and
began to scribble, but did not succeed.
The thought of wife and little ones so
far away brought the tears to his eyes.
and as result there was only a scrawl
on the sheet and he had to give il UP.
Presently he came to me, and asked if
would write the letter.
! sat down, and he started to dictate
a letter that never was completed and
one that never was sent, but what there
was of it read somewhat as follows:
Dear Wife: When / enlisted l real
