HOG MARKET STEADY
Liberal Supply of Hogs and
Quality Fair.
BULK $500 AT S3.121-2
Cattle Market Steady With
Light Receipts.

Before announcing and describing the
local hog market at this point for yes
terday a very essential correction and
explanation is urgently desired at the
head OF the column In Fridays issue,
reporting Thursdays market, the repre-
sentative sale tabulation showed at the
head Of the list four sales, three Of them
car lots and one q bunch Of local stuff
quoted al S3.171z As matter of fac.,
these four sales really. belonged on the
trading and under the prevailing condi-
tons OF the day previous, Wednesday.
The top price for Thursday was $3.15.
The official records on Wednesday closed
at a certain point in the list. The books
opened on Thursday at a certain point.
in between these two positions there were
several transactions at Wednesdays
market prices which did not appear on
the registers of Thursday, and really had
nothing TO dith the business of Thursday.
But for convenience and by cumulative
error of several parties, these above men
TONED trades got IN on yesterdays report,
when they should have been listed as
late sales Of Wednesday" This ac-
counts in fun for the four s317iz sales
recorded in Fridays listed representative
sales, when only s.. d was received for
trades actually consummated on Thurs
day.
The market yesterday was generally
steady at Thursdays cloe. There was
e good, liberal supply OF hogs received
and the demand was eager and active.
and the days trading was in all respects
brisk and ready. The quality OF the en-
tire volume Of hog receipts may be said
10 have been fair. There was nothing ex-
in n al
portions OF full cars of mixed hogs.
There were some cars received that bore
a line Of fairly good hogs but were inter
mingled vita light or coarse piggy sows
or some other detracting element which
lowered the tone and the selling price of
the whole load. The days average weight
showed up 23s pounds which was not
bad, and Yet below several days of late
The receipts from all quarters were good,
There were some few hold-over cars from
late trains of Thursday, and these were
easily disposed OF on the early opening.
Then followed scattering punches of
wagon hogs, stringing in throughout the
morning. The car hogs commenced ar
irving earlier than usual and were prompt
ly bid upon and sold. The close was
late in the day and after dark All hands
waited for all there was and the last cars
IN sold as strong as any of the day, prov
ing that good hogs will always find ready
sale on this market, no matter when
t.. ~cie hogs yesterday
exhibited 49,. 49, at~-- r.. quality.
There were extra heavies, ana lignt nights
but the average was fairly good and the
condition was generally fat and well form
&C. In spite Of the good liberal supply

steady, with little better tone than for
several days. but still nothing to be es-
peeially proud OF so fas ar volume IS

hogs. As for the balance of the offerings
they were mainly local and driven in

was in desirable slaughter condition. and
the regular buyers took the balance.
