was no market a week ago yesterday, IL

Other markets yesterday were as fol-
lows: Chicago expected 5000, with 6.640
left over, and the market was on the close
reported as follows: The course of the
hog market was downward again today.
Chicago packers and eastern shippers took
hold very well but prices received a fur
ther decline of 212Q15 cents, the bulk Of
the offerings crossing the scales at So 704
3.S5. Pigs were once more in good demand
and were no lower, sales being largely at
-. 3oq3 70. The receipts for Wednesday
were $4,000, and for today they are esti-
mated at 5000. Kansas City received
$3.50 hogs against 1920 the day before and
the market was opened at 21Zd5 cents
higher, with the advance soon lost and the
close being weak. st. Louis received A.
500 hogs and the market was cents lower
The receipts for the day previous were
1000. In the provision pit there was weak
ness in sympathy with grain, the close
being only steady, ribs 215c up, and lard
just steady. There is no snap to the pro-
vision market, and although the pobbing
trade keeps up fairly well, there is a
very perceptible drag and heaviness to the
market.

National Live Stock Reporter: There
was quite a curiosity at the sheep house
today in the shape of a sheep with six
legs. Besides the four regular legs there
were two that came out of just back of
the fore shoulder on the right side. These
two did not quite touch the ground but
were perfect in conforma ton This was
a big fine fat eve in fact the best sheep
in the load.
