HOGS-The receipts this week have
been considerably less than last week,
having fallen off about 300 hogs for the
first four days Of the week. The quality
has been about the same The week
opened with an advance in prices, the
bulk of the hogs selling at $365, but there
has been a gradual decline each day I'M
til today Thursday the bulk sold at
$S.b71h to $500. with a range on butchers
of $3.50 to $3.6213. While the market to-
day held about steady with Wednesday,
there was tendency toward weaker
prices. Pigs and packers are selling
steady at $3.25 to $685.
The lower prices have undoubtedly
been caused by the weak provision mar
ket and we owould advise shippers to
watch the provision quotations. If pro-
visions go lower hogs will probably fol-
low, and the reverse will be the case II
there should be "a stronger feeling In the
provision market.
SHEEP-Thel receipts have been a lit
tie heavier thus star this week than for
the first four days of last week, but are
still very much short of the demand, and
local buyers have been getting the bulk
OF their supplies from the feeding pens.

the week were about steady with last
week, and today Thursday are a little
stronger with, nothing in. All the sales
made We're from the feeding pens. Prac-

Ing here have been marketed and every
