Hogs-Receipts 5000; shipments, 1000.
The marketing of hogs thus far this week
shows an increase of nearly 1900 com
pared with same time last week, and the re-
ceipts to-day were almost 1000 larger than
a week ago. There was another liberal
supply of hogs, and on that account, as
well as on account Of lower prices else
where, the market opened quiet and the
bidding was uneven, but decidedly lower
The demand from the outside sources was
apparently less important, and packers
were acting Indifferent. Therefore, IL took
some time to establish trading basis, but
finally, at an average decline or fully lOc,
and with sales probably 15c lower,
packers and shippers were buying and the
offerings were changing hands as promptly
as expected. Most dealers claimed that the
average in prices was about the same as
last Saturday, but If any different shade
lower. A very fair clearance was finally
made at the decline. Sales ranged from
s.. 70G6.55 and the bulk Of the supply sold
at IS. s5q6.50. Quotations:
Good to choice medium and heavy. 6.25d655

Sheep and Lambs-Receipts, 300; ship
ments, $50. Thus far this week the re-
oeipts of sheep and lambs show an increase
of about 100 compared with the same time
last week, and the receipts to-day were not
quite as large as a week ago. The market
opened with the demand less urgent, except
that there was possibly about a steady in
Quiry for good sheep. The supply was not
large, but competition from local butchers
was slack and shippers forced a decline of
about 25c in prices OF the medium class of
lambs. Best lambs sold nearly steady. A
good clearance was finally made at current
prices. Lambs sold high $5.S5 and
olner sales ranged from $5.25 to 5.65. There

Horses-There is a continued liberal mar
keting for horses, the receipts for the reg
ular sale of Warman, Black, Chamberlain
& Co. being nearly 800 head against an
equal number the same time last week and
I4o the CORES bonding time a year ago
There was little or no change noticed in
the quality compared with a week ago, and
practically all of the different grades were
represented. The offerings included a few
choice kinds in their class, and there was
about the usual proportion of common
stock, while fair to medium grades pre-
dominated The attendance of buyers was
as good last week and up TO expecta-
tions at this time. The market opened with
some inquiry from all points, but on ac-
count of lower Eastern markets and a
belief among buyers that they have been
paying higher prices here than the same
grades were selling for elsewhere, there
was decided stand for lower values. and
some concessions finally had TO be made.
AT the decline the market was only fairly
active, but good clearance had been
made at the close. "A few choiee heavy
