For the past few days there have been
too many light hogs coming IN, and
though they have all sold and sold well
for their grade and weight there has
been a plenty and to spare. The demand
is for heavier hogs, and these viii se4
far stronger. Yesterday only three cars
averaged heavy out of the entire receipts,
two at 80 each and one at 245. One load
was down as low as 1S2 pounds average.
Monday the average for the day was 234;
for Tuesday it was OF; while yesterday
it WAS only 900, constantly declining.
shippers shouldd note this and average
UP their hogs heavier, for Of this class is
the better buying demand. and these will
sell well Fat, well trimmed butcher hogs
VIII get the premiums here and as near
this grade as is possible should be sent in.
