HOGS-There was not q very heavy run
OF hogs on sale this morning, as quite a
string was consigned direct to local pack
ers. chicago was quoted 54l0c lower. and
ss result the market here opened a big
nickel lower. Later in the day buyers
took hold more freely and the market
strengthened little for a time, but toward
the close the market was in about the same
position as at the opening. The situation
could best be described by calling the mar
ket generally a nickel lower. The bulk of
500, with the tighter weights going from
that figure down. The good weight hogs
sold mostly from $7021A to $I.O6, with few
prime loads above that figure. Trading was
not very active at any time, but still the
bulk was disposed OF in good season. Rep
