and watchfulness over the conduct OF

There was a big jump upward yester-
day in the receipts OF hogs at ali the
leading stock eenters, and usually far In
advance OF estimates, and this had the
most to DO with the sag IN prices, es2e-
cially 50 at Chicago, the drop also af-
fecting the provision market which was
uneasy and lower with dull action. The
estimate for today in Chicago Is 5000
as against 1900 yesterday and $500 on
Monday. There were 2.033 hogs carried
over yesterday. The markets every
where show a strong tendency and under
normal conditions and average receipts
hold their own, in spite Of the repeated
declaration by the leading packers OF
the country that hogs are too high.
There is no present indication that they
viii rule any lower, especially as the re-
ceipts at all the western markets are
away below last year.
The shipments from the Dold docks
yesterday were up TO tie usual heavy
daily output of uate, and mixed packing
house products and straight through cars

The provision pit yesterday registered
a drop IN sympathy with the drop in
hogs and lower prices at the yards
brought down by the heavy hog receipts.

Chicago, Nov 13.-Wheat broke sharply
today on lower cables and a heavy

Wheat was an active market nearly

face Of the advance here yesterday and
the cash demand was slack December,

Corn was moderated active. The mar

and who purchased 225,0 go bushels early.
Later the pronounced wheat weakne 3

Provisions were fairly active, but psices

HOGS TN LOWER
Better Supply but Still made
quate.
TOPS REST ON 81 81 IL
Market SIumps Along With
Other Hog Points,

Along with the break at all the prin-
cipal live stock centers yesterday hogs
at this point went the downward way
and at about the same gait, registering
as a Quotable average about 715Qlo cents
lower. Chicago, with 800 more hogs
than on Monday, and 1900 more than
had been estimated the night before,
went rushing of down the incline with
out any fooushness about waiting From
"strana, active, 10 cents higher" as
quoted the Gay before, the Lakes mar
ket registered yesterday fat 10 cents
lower. Kansas City also with an In
erase OF $40 went down to me same
figure. while st. Louis did likewise with
900 more hogs. The markeh here was
open-2 with buoyant feeling and good
strong lone. but the early advices from
other points had a d-scouraging effect
and wet blanket depression on the tone
here, and though some Of the earlier
s4es went at pr1ces fairly around steacy
with the earlier prices OF Monday this
could not be sustained for any length
OF time and long before car stuff was In
sight or even promised, the wagon o6er-
ings were going at the lower figures.
There was split of ~ TO 10 cents on
some quotations, but on the c-ose some
car lots went at $40, which were bet
ter than some of the $40 tops Of The
day before. The supply was an improve
ment over the Monoay run in both
branches Of the trade, but good prime
butcher hogs were still too limited In
their offerings and many times the num-
Der received could have been used and
would readily have sold at any time OF
the day The quality on the whole was
very fair TO good, some Of the wagon
hogs being specially so, though none Of
a real choice OF extra grade. The car
hogs on the whole, sold up better and
at stronger prices, as noted in the sales
below. About all the wagon hogs sold
around $3.50 or lower. while the car hogs
what there were. went promptly at TOP
prices for that day Tt was a day Of
changes, but as went the rest of tie hog
world, this market held her own nicely
