HOGS-Hogs opened Zoe lower, in fact. a
big l0c lower than yesterdays market. The
cause for the decline was easily discovered.
In the first place, Chicago with 81 Oa0 fresh
receipts and 300 carried over from the day
before, reported a break at l0dl5c Other
markets all reported lower prices and this
others. Sellers made a hard struggle 70
hold up values. but II was impossible On
AS usual with a lower market. the trade
was not very active, ana the most Of the
forenoon was consumed In making a clear

Later trains came in heavily loaded 81
that the total receipts turned out 70 be 18t
cars, witch was much larger than the early
estimate. In spite Of that fact the deman1
was so good that the market did not close
