Hogs-Receipts. 5000; shipments. 500
Combined receipts of hogs for two days
show a slight change compared with the
same time last week and a decrease OF
over 500 compared with the corresponding
time year ago The receipts to-day were
not quite large as week ago and
year ago. The quality was the best Tor
several weeks on account OF more liberal
supply of choice heavy hogs The market
opened with practically all buyers IN the
field, and the inquiry was reasonably good,
but IL was not evident that strong COM
petition would develop. and, therefore, II
took a little TINE to fix a trading basis
Soon, however, both packers and Shippers
were buying selected hogs. and especially
those Of good weight at strong prices
with occasional sales indicating 5QlVc al
vance on account of the Improvement IN
quality The market for mixed hogs was a
little irregular, few transactions being
considered a shade lower but generally
there was very little, if any, quotabie
change and packers, who were the primer
pal buyers. claimed the market for the
day, quality being considered. would not
differ a great deal from yesterday. A salts
factory clearance was made and the marx
ct closed steady at opening prices. safes
ranged from $3.50 10 N.6O, and the lafgest
proportion of the supply sold above S6s0.

Sheep and Lambs-Receipts ZOO; ship
ments, $50 Thus far this week the
receipts of sheep and lambs show an IN
crease of about $50 over the same time last
week and 200 over the corresponding time
year ago. The receipts to-day were about
900 larger than a week ago and twice as
large as year ago. In keeping with unfa-
vorable Eastern markets, the opening here
was rather quiet and the bidding was irreg-
ular but at decidedly lower prices than the
close of last week Shippers especially
were very bearish, but statesmen were IA
vored to some extent by fair demand
from local butchers. After a trading basis
had been established the market was rea-
sonably active and a satisfactory clearance
was finally made at an average decline or
fully soc in prices. There was only one sale
of lambs as high as Sc. while $50 was prac-
tically the top and other sales ranged as
low as ST. Good but not fancy yearling
lambs sold as high as $3.50, and old sheep
were not salable above 81 while So0
bought a pretty decent kind and culls sold
as low as 81. Stock sheep are quotable at
! $2G3. 80. Yearling bucks sold as high as $500
and other sales were at $2.5OQ2.T5. Quota

Horses-There was a fair run Of horses
! for the regular auction sale Of the War
| man Blac ix- Chamberlain Company, about
| lis head having arrived, against 100 week
! ago and 175 a year ago. There was not a
very great variety of animals represented
and the quality was no better than the
| average recently. There was a fair at
tendance OF buyers, but apparently there
were none of them supplied with urgent
orders and il was evident from the begin
ming that they expected to get their sup
plies at reduced prices. Therefore the bid
ding was backward and so much lower
that statesmen were reluctant in accept
ing the decline, and the result was rather
| "A sluggish market all day. Final results
indicate that the whole list sold from $40
to SIS per head lower, and in exceptional
1 cases owners believed they were forced to
take off more than that. The medium
workers sold generally at from SEQ to $50
| per head. drivers from $50 to S125. draft
