HOGf-Ihe receipts the past week have been
g. 100 egainst 4o 641 last week, and d, 255 week
before last. 4 fairly active local and outside
demand has existed for this class Of stock, but,
under the large receipts, prices have been weak
and nnsatt1ed throughou The market opened
firm on Monday at something of an advance on
the closing prices Of Saturday, but the improve
ment WIS soon lost, and during Thursday and
Friday decline Of fully 15c Was suffered, prices
recedins to 94.20@4.40. Only four or five Of
the packers have as yet commenced operations,
but most Of the others are ready for business,
and will enter the market as soon IS the supply
in 50 doing. The impression among
this class Of buyers seems to be
that they can get all the hogs they may require
at prices ranging downward from $4.25: Most
OF their purchases during the past Week were
made at $4.20@435.
To-day there WAS fair degree Of activity in
the local and shipping demand, and, although
the receipts were rather large for Saturday,
about everything WAS taken, and at full yester-
days prices, sales mailing at S4:2o@4.& for
common; at s4.30@4.35 for medium, and at
54.40 for choice,-chiehy within the range of
94.25@4.35. The market closed steady at the
