ing High Prices.

Hog receipts were light yesterday even
for a Friday. The late arrivals the pre-
yious night were taken by the packers
at Thursdays prices. but the fresh ar
rivals yesterday sold ten cents lower.
Only four car leads We're sod and two
that arrived just at the close were car
ried over because sellers refused to ac-
cept a nickel less than the top prize.
When the buyers received account or
purchases by packers in kansas CITY the
truth was forced on their minds that
they had been paying comparatively high
prices for hogs here and at the close
they were bidding s4.15 and 4.2o for
hogs weighing 200 pounds and under. Inc
two last car loads sold on the close
for A.25 were pretty good hogs. one
load making an average Of 253 pounds and
2S6 pounds.
Hog Sales.
By an arrangement between the packers
and commission men, hogs arriving late
IN the night are fed, watered and
weighed I'D on arrival and the next morn
ing sold at the previous days prices.
These hogs are quoted under the, head
of "earl-y sales" and the fresh receipts
