LIVE STOCK MARKET
|, Market Was All in the Morn
ing Yesterday.
HOGS SOLD STEADY
Packers Wanted More Than
Come During Week.

Business at the Union Stock Yords was
all done in the early morning. The hogs
that arrived late Friday night were all
bought by the packers at Fridays prices.
There was not a car load of fresh re-
ceipts and even nearby farmers did not
make any wagon deliveries. The buyers
express willingness TO pay steady prices
so the nogs quoted under the head Of
early sales would have brought the same
money yesterday if they had been fresh
arrivals. The receipts for the entire week
were a little over 5000 and the packers
did not get as many hogs as they want
ed The only cattle sold were few
driven in by farmers.
