Hogs-Receipts, 5000; shipments, LOO.
Combined receipts of hogs for four days
show a gain of about 1000 over the same
time last week and a decrease of 1900 COM
pared with the corresponding time a year
ago. The receipts to-day were about 1000
larger than a week ago and nearly the
same as a year ago. The market opened
with a very fair inquiry from nearly all
buyers for the hogs Of good weigh and
quality, and sales of that class were usually
on a basis of steady prices compared with
yesterday. Mixed hogs, however, were only
about steady. and light hogs, especially the
very light mixed kinds. were generally con-
sidered sc lower. The trading at no time
in the day could be considered active, but
at the close a satisfactory clearance had
been made at current prices. There seems
TO be a strong determination among buyers
to extend the margin between prices Of
advisable for shippers TO discriminate i'm
buying In the country. Sales ranged from
S6.60q7.35. and a very large part of the sup
ply sold above $3.50. Quotations:

Sheep-Receipts, $50; shipments, $50. The
receipts of sheep and lambs thus far this
week indicate an increase of about 200 over
the same time last week and a little less
than 4O over the corresponding time a year
ago The receipts to-day were about 100
larger than a week ago and 200 larger than
a year ago. The market opened with rather
a better inquiry from all buyers, and with
reasonably strong competition between To-
cal butchers and shippers the trading was
active, and strong prices, compared with
the way equal kinds sold yesterday. were
realized. 1t did not take long to exhaust
the supply, and the market closed steady
at opening prices. Spring lambs were re-
ported at s5d10. other lambs at s5GS75:
