HOGS.

The run of hogs was fair for Saturday,
but the supply did not satisfy the demand
for good packing hogs by 1900. The
market was active, competition among
buyers lively, aud sales today were made
at cents higher than yesterday. The
quality of offerings was only medium.
Mexico paid SS.5O against $40 yesterday,
for sorted heavies; tops sold at $40; bulk
s3.3O@3.35; pigs and lights &. 2592.75. The

hogs themselves were big, and the prices
were comparatively larger than at any
other market in existence. The receipts

more were reported coming in after that
time. Ii is estimated that with these last
the receipts for the day would be swelled
