A good run was had yesterday for Mon
day, and quality very good for this time OF
the year, the tail end of the winter pack
ing season. The receipts were also heavy
elsewhere, and all Western markets lower.
At the five leading Western points the re-
and same week last year, 1920. This liberal
supply of hogs in sight made packers very
independent and were late in getting to
work, and when they did they wanted lower
prices and as they had no outside compe-
ttion they had the market much their own
way, and prices were forced lower from
the start. But at declines of 7hDl0c, the
pens were cleaned up by early evening, al
most everything going to packers. The
extreme range was 275g365, bulk or sales
$3.45q3.625.
