demand for these is;v excellent. The
heavy run of underlwefght stuff has had
the effect predicted in that prices have
dropped off badly The decline at other
points has been even more marked than
on this market, so that these hogs are
selling for more money here than at any
other point. Today the choice and heavy
hogs sold fully steady, while the common
and under weight stuff was very weak
One load of heavy hogs sold at s6. As. This
load was not ehoiee 1nst good, weighty

change in the sheep and lamb market.
