Hogs-Receipts, $500; shipments, 600.
Thus far this week the receipts of hogs
show a decrease of 1.5OO compared with the
same time last week, and the receipts to-
day were very small. being 1000 less than
week ago. few loads of good hogs
were represented, but about the usual num-
Der of ordinary light mixed grades, and
therefore the quality was not perceptibly
different from the past few days. The
market opened with all buyers in the field
and possibly on account of the small supply
packers were more industrious than usual,
and with fair competition from other
sources the trading was active and sales
were usually at prices fully as high equal
kinds sold last Saturday. Shipping orders
proved to be rather limited, but packers
cleared up the supply and the last sales did
not show quotabe change compared with
the opening. Ordinary light hogs TO best
heavies sold from $6.45d7 and most of the
supply sold above 500. Quotations:

Horses-About 275 head OF horses arrived
for the regular sale Of Warman, Black
Chamberlain * Co. to-day against 200 the
same time last week and $50 the correspond
ing time year ago. Practically all grades
were represented. but there were few high
grade animals in their class and the quality
generally could have been more satisfac-
tory. There was not a large attendance OF
buyers and the demand was not as urgent
as last week. There was practically no in
quiry for horses for cavalry use. and alto
gether the conditions We're favorable for
lower prices. The auction did not begin un-
I'll late in the day. and from the start the
trading was rather sluggish. The best
animals, and that means the top kinds in
their class, sold al about steady prices but
a pretty good kind were S5dl0 per head
lower than a week ago. Extra draft horses
sold as high as 500, good coach horses
were reported around SlOd175. and 1904
