Hoss--Estimated Receipts. 400.

The trade was much SURPRISED at
the nominal run of stuff today. The
receipts ran quite small and che quail
ity was generally undesirable; in fact,
the entire offerings bordered on the
common order. Advices were fairly
favorable and packers, who seemed
anxious to do business. took hold read
lily at moderate advance over yester-
day, in line with other markets. Trade
was therefore fairly active with an
early clearance of the modest Offer
ings. Prices showed strong to 81 bet
ter than yesterday and about 10. high
er than Saturday, putting values near
ly back to last Thursday. The range
was narrow. Rough common packers
sold at $3.45, the ordinary grades OF
mixed offerings at $3.50 and !; load of
common sowy light mixed stuff at
$3.55 for top. No good to choice Io.s
OF any weight or grade were offered,
and the tops We're nominally Ino:ab!e
somewhat above the prices secured
for the prices at hand. AZ outside
markets the supply was moderate and
about an equal advance was recorded.
Provisions ranged stronger. Late ad-
vices from Chicago, A private wire, re-
lorted the market closing fiat, the ad.
vance lost and common packing hogs
