NEDk D 8 HIGHER
Hogs Slump Slightly With
Other Markets.
TOPS REACH 1927 ~
Cattle Steady With Mixed
Line of offerings,

The Wichita hog market yesterday ruled
weak to cents lower in sympathy with
ali other western markets. There was
a seeming reactionary effect working at
all points from the higher tone of the
close of last week and al the leading
stock centers experienced this condition.
There was not a demOralized market at
eli, either here or elsewhere, as the quo
table tone was not more than five lower
anywhere. and this was the minimum of
a split from weak to that point. On
tine local market it was one of the good
days from every standpoint The early
NOR ming trade, while not excessive, was
sssseady in point of continued business
done, and all offered hogs, either in car
lots or from the local branch, were easily
disposed of, and some of them at figures
approaching the point of steady. The
first two sales TO go on record were two
cars of medium weight fair butcher hogs,
and these sold a the top notch of the day,
$3-2T1z. Following these transa ctions were
scattering lots Of wagon hogs IN gen.
orally small punches, but all selling read
lily az the best their quality and the uni
Verssl markets could command. II was
an active and busy day all through the
trading, the car receipts coming in along
regularly enough to keep up a stimulating
tone to the trading. At one time all the
available pens usually given up TO an
average day for hogs were filed complete
ly. and it was lively times from then TO
dark All the afternoon trains bore hogs,
end two extras also brought in cars of
unexpected hogs, as well as late trains
which bore more stock, which were held
for todays early transfer. but mostly
bought on contract. The quality for the
day was generally good all through, and
the car hogs were in some cases very
good. There were a few loads bearing a
mixed line of heavies and under lights
but the even well fattened hogs were in
the majority, and this stimulated bid
ding not a little. One load of light
lights and pigs was held over, but will
be sold today. While nothing fancy ap-
peared, there were hogs of very desira-
bic grade killing stock, and of good
weight. In spite of the good supply the
buying element was equally strong, and
no hogs were begging. The purchases
were divided among several interests, the
Dold company taking the bulk of the
cars. The day was in every point a sat
isfactory one, and sellers were in ali cases
well pleased with their deals.

killing means cellars filed with meats.
For some reason the other packers have
been showing timidity, fearful Of making
the venture with so many hogs coming
or else hoping that they could delay the
bull market until the hogs were behind
instead of ahead of them. Armour has
had no company except the public, and
il did not become enthusiastic until at
ter the Armour buying had been going
on for at least a month. This may prove
the biggest year Armour has ever had, -
said one of the provision talent yester-
day. Il don't believe he has ever made
a bigger bet than the one he is making
today on good times"
