There was no market today, the re-

nominal. The levels at the close to-
day are lower in practically every
branch of the trade, with the eXcep-

they were a week ago Primarily the
law of supply and demand can be
charged with the losses in prices
which cattle have scored this week.

created some excitement in the hog
