Good ordinary cows are $500 lower than

are only salable as Iew-priced Gamers
HOGS-Receipts have not been quite SO
heavy this week and are running consid-
erabiy behind last week, although far
ahead of the corresponding period a year
ago. With a moderate run today prices

were generally 10 cents lower Prices
ranged from $3.50 to s6.4o. Packers paid
s6.35 and $40 for good to fairly choice
heavy hogs. During the early part of
the week the offerings included a big per-
centage Of urderweight stuff and prices
fell off quite q little on this kind, while
choice butchers and heavy hogs held fully
stea4y. Todayss decline is practically the
first this week that has affected heavy
hegs. The hogs received during the
past two days have been much better in
quality than for some time, and study
of the prices received will show that the
average is much better.
SHEEP-Good quality sheep and lambs
of all kinds are in coed demand, with no
auetable change in prices from a week
ago. Choice lambs will sell at $425 and
fancy ewes, of light weight, will bring
close to S3.25. Common and thin stuff is
slow and weak and is hard to dispose of.
