HlG h1REEI AGIIVE
Receipts Were Liberal but
Buyers Took All offerings
PRICES LOWER ON LIGHTS
Good Heavy Hogs in Demand
and About Steady.

Activity was the one redeeming feature
Of the hog market yesterday. Buyers
claimed that good. heavy hogs we're
steady. TO strong. but sellers claimed that
even this class sold shade lower than
Ia. previous day. There was a decided
decline in light and uneven lots that was
a good strong nickel below the previous
days prices. There are too many light
hogs coming to market, and The buyers
take them because they cannot get a
Sufficient number Of heavy hogs. After
the buyers have filed their orders they
always md more thin-oacked hogs than
they wanted. The sellers have TO concede
something IL order % sell this class Of
hogs, and commission men are warning
the country shippers TO beware OF dry
weather hogs. When the weather gets
dry and the corn begins 70 roll up the
farmer sells hogs that he would have FED
for several months longer under other
circumstance, and these are Just the
KIND OF hogs the packers do not want.
The buyers yesterday kicked about the
light hogs, but they bought them, just
the same. Dcld and Cudahy had in lib
eraI orders for hcgs and the California
buyer cooz his share When the market
closed the pens were cleared and three
car loads that arrived later were sold at
yesterdays prices 10 be weighed Up this
morning.
