Hog receipts have been light throughout
the past week and from the kind and quail
ity that arrived at the yards daily it is
easy TO be seen that the country Is being
stripped close Of hogs. Shippers all say
they are scarce and that receipts will con

hogs, but only for short time. They
nearly ali predict higher prices.
