hear the case, entered an order that
Hunnicut should pay into court for
his wife the sum of $3.50 every two
weeks. That he had failed to do. He
was called before Judge O'Connor
Saturday to show cause why he had
failed to comply with Judge Pattee's
order. The hearing resulted in his
commitment.

terday, Judge O'Connor, having been
informed that Mrs. Hunniout and her
seven children are about out of pro-
visions, sent Mrs. Grace Thomas,

weight classes $1,000 up. Stockers
sold mostly at 5000 to $1,000 and
stock cows and heifers $3.50 to $500.
Hogs
Monday hog prices rose rs to 40

higher selling up to $500, but be-
fore much trading was accomplished

steady until late Thursday when
prices were largely below the 10

stronger undertone in the trade with
the top price $15.15, and bulk $14.8O
to $3.50. Compared with a week
ago, prices are so to rs cents lower,
Sheep and Lambs
The first $21.O0 lambs ever sold in
January were reported on Wednesday,
and Thursday, and since then the
market has had scant supplies and
continued firm. Compared with a
week ago prices are 40 to SO cents
higher, and $500 to $3.50 higher than
in January last year. Indications
are that limited supplies will be Of
fered the rest Of the season. Fat
lambs are quoted at $1,000 to $21.0O,
ewes $11.50 to $500, wethers and
yearlings are very scarce. Feeding
lambs sold at $3.50 to $3.50.
Horses and Mules
Active demand continues for horses
and mules. Fat mules sold at the
highest prices of the season, and
Southern horses, and all purpose
workers found ready outlet. Prices
are firm and big demand is expected
to continue.
