The receipts of hogs this week have shown a considerable falling off, there being & decrease of over 10,000 head ‘as com- red with last week and over 2,000 head as compared wtih two weeks ago. There lg a shortage of over 11,000 head as compared with & year ago. The market during the week has had o general upward tendency, rices gradually working upward and at Pre close they” are ‘around 10gise higher than one week ago. The high point was touched today, when hogs sold up to §1.40, the /highestt price paid on this market since March, 198, when $1.06 was reached. With that exception the market is now the high- est that it has been since 1903 when as high as 38.00 was reached. epresentative sales Av. 8n. 2!!#&‘; EEBNETIE S5 B3 THT Y it is decidedly to your ad- vantage to go where there is plenty of gtock from which you can make a selection of such character as will har- monize agreeably with the room that you intend to furnish, You can buy a seetional book-case that will appeal to you as strongly on account of its beauty it does because of its tility, That is the reason we carry such a large stock of Slobe*Wirnicke “Elas-, tic” Book-Cases in different patterns ~—Standard — Mission «—Colonial— ORCHARD & WILHELM GIVE ME $475.00 For a First Mortgage Gold Bond of the Columbus [Neb.] Electric Light Company—whose earnings are over three times their interest charge—reinvest your semi-annual dividend and I WILL RETURN TO YOU $1,000 in 1923.
