Hogs-Receipts, 1900; shipments, 5000.
Five days receipts of hogs show an in
crease of nearly 1900 over the same time
last week, and a decrease of 1900 compared
with the same time year ago, when the
marketing was exceedingly liberal. The re-
ceipts to-day were the largest of the week,
and the market opened quiet, with a weak
er tendency. Statesmen were asking about
steady prices, and few loads at the start
were sold on about that basis. Later, how
ever, in sympathy with other markets,
statesmen had to make some concessions,
and the average for the day was about 21zc
below yesterday. A good clearance was
made at current prices and several loads
sold as high as s4.05. Quotations:
