sellers quoted the market fat ten cents

averaging go pounds brought $3.50, but
some pretty good hogs sold for $3.50. The

faith in high prices. Provisions were
lower all along the line and that was
one excuse for putting down the price of
hogs. The decline for several days past
has been considerable but it should not
be forgotten that hogs are still high and
might make several declines like that Of

cattle prices. Common mixed hogs sold
