Wheat ruled weak at the start. Eng

The big bnllhouse that has been menipu-

the bank statement on the money market
must await the opening OF Monday. 1t is

hogs here this morning for a Saturday,
and the market opened a shade easier than
yesterdays general market. Later on 1t
became evident that packers had liberal
orders and the market got more active and
closed Just about steady with yesterday,
In fact the average was but very l.ttle
different from yesterday. n bulk of all
high as $3.50 was paid for a load that aver
aged 234 pounds. Owing to the activity on
the last half OF the market everything
was disposed OF in good season.
For the week receipts w been fairly
liberal, a gain being noted over both last
week and the same week OF last year.
The tendency Of prices has been decidedly
downward, and for the week the total
decline amounts TO 45G50c. The market
