; shown by the figures of the leading com.
merolal movements just published by the
bureau of statistics of the department of
commerce and labor, larger receipts of
I hogs and sheep on the one hand and
! torn, wheat and rye on the other, are
mainly responsible for the heavier
monthly inbound movement to the chief
1 packing and grain centers of the country.
1 Livestock receipts during Mav at
seven primary western markets aggre-
gated 3,650,876 head, compared with 2.
607.278 head received In May, 1910. and
, 2.896,767 head received in May, 1901' Of
the total. 622.780 head were cattle. 93.561
calves. 1,979,856 hogs. 821,671' sheep, and
| 33,006 horses and mules. With the ex-
ception of calves, the inbound movement
of food animala shows considerable gains
| over the corresponding figures for the
i two preceding years. The monthly re-
I ceipts of hogs show a gain of 12 per cent
I over the monthly average for the five
| preoedlng years, exceeding the May re-
i ceipts of each year for the period of
1906 to 191ft. Even a larger gain Is shown
by the May receipts of sheep, whloh
I were more than a third larger than the
May pverage for the preceding five-year
i period. The marketing of livestock at
I seven primary markets required the use
during the month of 6J.224 cars, us com-
pared with 47.413 cars during May, 1910,
I and 61.927 cars during May, 1909. TJve
j stock receipts during the five months of;
the present year, 16,876,162 head, were'
' likewise on a larger scale than for the
! two preceding years, though the receipts
of hogs, 9,028.719 head, fell short of the
corresponding figures in 1909 and 1908.
The Inbound livestock traffic for the five
1 months' period of the present year aggre- 1
gated 298,168 cars, compared with 247,- I

responding periods in 1910 and 1909.

that between ten and twenty-five arclil-

countless other attractions at Fair Park,
