One Cattle Consignment to

The local hog market opened strong
and ruled that way for some time after
and for the first main part of the days
receipts. The close was fairly quoted as
weak, ard the average for the whole day
was about steady. The day was quiet
and without especial feature Of interest,
the receipts being light and the trading
mainly inactive The rule has long been
that Saturday is a quiet day. the hogs
coming in being few and the buyers apt
20 be indifferent. This rule held good GER
F.inly for yesterday, at least so far as
tne receipts were concerned, although
all the regular buyers wers on hand and
ready 10 buy any lots received at all
attractive. The run was so light, how
ever, that IL was not easy to stir up inter
est, and more good hogs would have
found ready sale had they come III. II
was at al times evident that had the
hogs appeared they wolild have received
prompt and welcome reception. the de-
mand being considerably greater than
the supply. AL the hogs coming In were
sold at once End the prices were gener-
ally strong with all other markets and
for the whole day averaged steady with
the day before. This quality was fairly
good for the few receipts in, the average
weight being 10 pounds heavier than that
Of IN day before. Four car loads took the
top prizes OF IS. S., and the weights of these
four ranged from 220 to 258 Good hogs
had no trouble in being disposed of and
q s many more could have been used mad
they come in. The week has been good
onche whole, the market having been well
sustained all the offerings taken care of
which were at all salable on this mar
ket, and the run for the week very sat
isfactory for this season. The packing
demand continues strong, the local inter-
ests taking the best fat hogs offered for
Immediate killing. Most Of the shippers
report favorable conditions in their dis
;ricts. both as to the corn crop and the
outlook for stock hogs.
