the marketing of hogs. and with liberal receipts
and lower prices elsewhere this market naturally
r. affected. There very fair demand to-
day both from local and outside sources, but all
buyers determined to force reduction in
prices Therefore. the bidding from the start
was decidedly lower. and buyers were more In
dependent than yesterday On account of the
high prices prevailing here for some time past
statesmen seemed inclined to make reasonable
concessions. and rather early in the day basis
for operations established. subsequently
the trading active could be expected
under the circumstances. and transactions were
reported anywhere from sc to l5c lower. with
the average for the day at least l0c below yes
terday. After the more important orders had
been executed the market usual, became less
active. and IL difficult TO consummate
sales late in the day. but probably none of the
hogs sold exceed 15c lower than yesterdays
best prices. The market closed rather weak at
the decline. Sales ranged from s5.25 TO $3.50.
