HOG MARKET
TEN LOWER
Light Receipts Did Not Stop
the Decline.
TOP PRICE WAS $3.50
Cattle Follow Hogs Down to
Lower Prices.
TOP PRICE WAS $3.50

Hog receipts were light yesterday, but
that did not present the market taking
another tumble downward. The decline
here was about ten cents and the top
price was $3.50 for good nlived hogs.
Fancy heavy hogs would have brought
Z little more money-f any had been Of
tered. The decline did not seem to Gre
ate any surprise, as people generally
hav made up their minds that hogs must
80 lower. The packers buy right along
the same when the market goes Gown
as when ii goes Up. The sale pens were
cleared last evening when the market
closed, but a fe wear loads were reported
TO arrive later. Pretty good mixed hogs
were required at the close to bring S6.45.

are unchanged and manufacturers are
unwilling to make concessions.
