HOGS-The hog market continued the
decline again today. Chicago came lower
and packers at this point started out bid
ding 7l2alOc lower than Yesterday. In
liberal supply in uight sellers did not see
much chance OF gaining anything by hold
ing out and so cut loose at those figures.
The bulk of the sales went from A62lA to
N.65, with few of the choicest loads
selling at S.67la and as high as
A.7219 was paid Some of the commoner
stun of course sold below s462i2, but the
bulk went at si621a and s4.65.
After about seventy loads had changed
hands II became evident to sellers that
packers had liberal orders and as a result
they held their droyes higher and buyers
had to pay shade stronger prices for
what was LEFT. The close was active and a
shade stronger than the opening, every
thing changing hands a a reasonably early
hour Representative sales:

A circle of Croker worshipers o.
dered an Oil portrait of the big boss
from a well known New York artist
year ago and had it ready to pre-.
sent to the Tammany chief on his
return from Europe. For the con
trast they were separated from ST..

touched these shores in violent
temper and his subordinates dared
not suggest reception and presen-
tation of the painting. The latter
was put on exhibition in an up
town studio. Recently the man
who borrowed it went on the finan-
eial rocks. The other day the Crok-
or clan sent a truckman after the
painting, fearing it might be se;zcd
by the sheriff. But the truckman re-
turned empty-handed. The pic
ture was gone. Investigation
