The electric line, when the car
lcame in on the 1870 morning trip car
ried almost one hundred passengers.
The roads in various directions from
this city we're practically impossible.
James Quinlan, who drove into Mex
leo Saturday, said he stopped 20
times in two miles to knock the mud
from his wagon wheels. The roads
were SO bad he did not attempt to re-
turn home that day.
In many places where the bridges
and roads were overflowed and froze
before the water receded conditions
were most discouraging. L. r. Lark
in said in places the roads were piled
with ice so il was impossible to drive
on them. In other places the ice was
SO plentiful that even after it had
been broken from its place, several
feet above the ground, a safe passage
could not be had.
More hogs have been received at the
National Stock yards East st. Louis,
Ill, this month than for any cores
ponding time in the history Of the
yards. The number to date is approx
imately 100000, which is 100000 more
than came in during the like period
last year. Dealers say that this is
probably due to the large corn crops
throughout the Central West last year.
50 great has been the supply that the
three packing plants have employed
l700 extra men to handle the added
slaughtering. The market remains
strong because of the good trade con-
ditions existing in the South, which is
almost wholly supplied with pork
from st. Louis.
