A freer movement was had yesterday than for some
days, but values were weak under the influence of
good receipts of hogs and a lower market for them.
and packers were encouraged to take hold more freely
than for ome days.

While the market has been hardly SO firm since our
last review, yet a very good demand was had. and
the weakness confined to lambs. which made up much
OF the increase in receipts, which reached over goo.
Muttons and stockers and feeders held their own
throughout. and the pens were fairly cleared Of them
each day Feeding stuff was in strong demand and
as good as any time since the opening of the new
year. As a whole. the market is fairly healthy. and
will absorb a good. steady supply. but with rushcs
lower values may be looked for.

REPRESENTATIVE SALES.

A very good demand continues to be had for the best
offerings. and prices steady. There were perhaps
hardly so many new buyers in as last week. yet a
very good trade was had, both on Southern and East
en account. and prices remain substantially the same
as a week ago.

The market continues to hold up very we'll. The
receipts the past week were q little heavier than the
week previous and nearly $4,000 larger than the same
week last year. yet prices ruled much the same as
the week previous. On Monday the market ruled
fully as high as the best day last week. Indeed, a
few scratch sales were made at the highest price Of
the season, but since then buyers have been bear
ish and values 5G10c per cwt. lower. making the
market now Just about the same as the early part
OF the week previous. Packers continue good buy
ers. but there was little doing on order account,
While the receipts are running heavier than a year
ago. hogs coming in are averaging seven pounds
per cwt. lighter. and prices are 40G4 5c per cwt.
higher. a better movement OF hog product than a
year ago encouraging packers to push their opera
lions stronger and compete more sharply for hogs.
While corn is much higher than a year ago, yet
hogs are bringing such prices as to encourage its lib
eraI feeding and justify farmers in the better care
Of their pigs. Hence the unusual receipts for this
time Of year. the arrivals here within less than a
week Of the close Of the winter packing season being
as heavy as in midwinter. Extreme range. 5000

In marked contrast with wheat and corn. the mar
ket for this grain was very bullsh. Continued light
arrivals in the face of strong prices that have been
paid OF late created more anxiety among buyers than
for some time. The receipts at the primary mar
kets last week were a little better than the week
previous. yet there was a decrease in the visible sup
ply OF $685. 900 bushels, and a good export movement
continues to be had. Monday values here were Ia
lie higher than at the close of our last review and
demand good at this advance, oatmeal men and feed
dealers both buying. Wednesday there was a
marked improvement in the receipts and under the
influence of increased offerings mixed were lower TO
