There has been considerable curtail-
ment in the marketing of hogs. The
average of quality is hardly up to the
recent past. Prices have been reduced,
prominent markets indicating an aver
age of about $5.15 per 100 pounds
There has been considerable excite
ment in the fresh beef market, owing
to the strike in the packing houses. The
net advance for the week was about PIC
on whole cattle, though the advance
was checked. Should the strike con-
tinue, still higher prices are probab BILE.
The export movement has been light, as
all beef not needed to supply actual con-
tracts has been diverted to the local
trade. The receipts have not yet fallen
off to any extent, but are likely to show
q marked decrease within few days.
Choice whole cattle can be bought for
11@11Kc, with headquarters at 14@
I41sc and fores at 80S1zc.
Lambs and muttons advanced with
beef, but all the advance could not be
held, and prices declined about 1sc on
medium grades. Veals are steady at
,1-opaa of a bo,t yXyac+orx. Fell
