Hogs this week have had both ups and
downs. The week opened with values
higher, but on Wednesday the market broke
sharply, which cut off the run. During
the last three days values steadily ad-
vanced and at the close OF the week the
market is at the highest point touched, so
far this year. The highest point reached
by the market during 1898 was touched on
May II, when the average price was Si.4S.
and IL will be noted from the table OF
average prices that there has been no time
during the month of August since 1886 when
hogs sold as high as at the present time.
The demand this week was good on oil days
except when prices were lower and when
The heaviest packers were decidedly bearish.
