sold Good feeding steers sold well at
from 81 40 to S255 The supply of butchers
cattle was limited and the market closed
firm.
The hog receipts were good for closing
day. Most of the trading was done early
and the pens were about all cleaned up be-
fore closing time One load of hogs were
forwarded. The bulk of the hogs was
taken by the local packers at yesterdays
prices. The week just past has shown
larger receipts than any other week of the
month. Prices have fuctuated very little
during the week, and the market on good
hogs has been about steady. The market
on light hogs and pigs has gone off badly
owing to the demand for this class of hogs
being supplied. The market closed strong
and steady and shade higher.
