from opening prices. Nearly everybody
had a little pork, which they dumped
on the first signs of a decline. while
additional quantities were brought est
on stop orders, and also shaken by ex-

number of traders were in attendance.
Each decline lessened confidence. Al
incidental cause of weakness was the
publication OF hog-crops reports. The
depression continued to the close, at 4

action in the afternoon.
