HOG MARKET STRONG
Eager Demand and Hogs Sell
Promptly.
TOPS GO UP 1922 ~
Cattle Market Steady With
Slim Offerings.

The Wichita hog market yesterday was
strong with Wednesdays prices. At all
the live stock centers the receipts were
comparatively heavy, and yet there was
no shrinking in prices and the average all
over was fairly steady, some points be-
ing little higher. The local market at
once caught this impulse and buoyant
tone and the early sales showed clearly
strong market again. There was per-
ceptible snap TO the trading from the start
TO the close. Those few cars arriving
late the night before were placed on sale
at once and easily disposed of. Never
Iheless, the call was stiff enough that
any cars arriving in the meantime were
sold as soon as yarded in spite of the
hold-over element, and the latter at no
time held any advantage whatever. All
were treated alike and all sold, and sold
easily. taking the best prices These be-
fore noon sales went rapidly and with
them were several punches of varying
: yes of wagon hogs and local trade. All
were promptly absorbed and the deals
wiped out before the larger portion of the
days receipts commenced to arrive. Sew
eu of the eleven cars transferred through
the day came in later in the afternoon
toward the close, and mostly in d bunch.
This had the effect Of renewing the trad
ing enthusiasm at once, and right off bid
ding resumed with the Same rush and
live spirit as when the first consignments
were offered. AS fast as the car hogs of
the late receipts were fed and watered
they were hurried across the scales, and
10y the close of the market everything
IN the shape of saleable hogs had been
sold. and the pens empty. Eleven cars
in all were received and sold, besides a
good line of wagon stuff. Some of these
cars were hold-overs from late receipts
the night before, and altogether with all
that came in through the day were
promptly and readily sold. always at good
stiff prices. The quality, on the whole,
was fairly good nothing being in that
was especially prime or heavy, one load
only, possibly excepted. The weight was
pounds heavier than the day before.
and 16 pounds better than last week
Thursday, and the stock was generally
very fair but rarely extra. There were
few skippy hogs or rough. mean stuff in.
and 22S was the record for the lightest load
and from this ranging up To ~ pounds.
The bulk range was very narrow, from
s3.15 10 $50, six cars at 50. Is and three at
S3.17Iz with one each at $3.50 and 3.221s.
