HOGS-Receipts of hogs continued quite
liberal this morning, which makes the
supply for the three days this week con-
SIDERABLE in excess of the same days of
last week or of last year. The market
opened about sc lower, but under the in
huence of a good demand the market grew
stronger and the loss was just about re-
gained. Trading was active after the first
round, so that everything was out of first
hands in good season. The quality of the
hogs was not as good today as II was
yesterday, so that the market on paper
does not look as high as it really was.
There was not much change today In the
range of prices, for the bulk of the sales.
The heavier loads sold largely from So
to $3.50. Medium weights went from Sc. 80
TO $3.50, and the lighter loads sold from
SO. 90 down. Renrpaenfnt tive sales.

Rio. steady; No. Z invoice. 7Ac. Mild,
steady; Cordova, Sd12c. The market opened
steady, and throughout the morning was
devoid of feature. The Brazilian markets
were closed I'm observance of a holiday and
statistical statements from the crop country
furnished little incentive. The European
market news was quiet, as expected, and
few buying orders from any quarter made
their appearance. But early in the after
noon the pull clique became an active
to a small scramble of room shorts for
cover. This combined demand sent prices
up 10q2O points with a rush. The market
held the rise all through the last hour and
closed firm at a net advance of 10d20 points.
Total sales were &c, $50 bags. including April
at 5.20d5. 35c; May. 530d5. 45c; June, 5.t0c;

SHEEP-There was a Iight supply of
sheep and lambs here today and as a re-
suit It was not long before the bulk OF the
thing the market was just about steady
with yesterday and active. There was a
bunch of clipped lambs here today thai
sold at $6.05, while some spring lambs sold
as high as S11.O. A bunch of ewes sold at
$50, the same as were sold here a few
days ago at the same price. Packers all
seemed TO be anxious for good stun this
morning and as a rule very satisfactory
prices were paid.
There was no change In the feeder situa-
tion this morning. as the demand continues
quite liberal, while the offerings are light.

BIG SLUMP in GOLD SUPPLY
Forty Million POUNDS Shortage Due

Mines.

LONDON, March 26.-At a meeting here

Africa, the chairman said II was calculated
that owing to the closing of the South
African mines during the last two and n
half years the worlds gold supply was
short to the extent of G40,0O0,0 600. He
thought II surprising that such a serNnus
diminution should not have been more
