was commonly remarked that II would be more
difficult TO push prices below $40 than II had

cars for transporting their hogs to-day, and
therefore did not buy many they would

demand for cows. and sales OF desirable kinds
were usually at steady prices. but others were
possibly some weaker from the start. The de-
