Representative Hog Sales.
Below are given few of the repre-
sentative hog sales:
stockers and Feeders.

There was little doing in feeder trade.
Fresh arrivals were of small volume
and dealers did not have many good
kinds on hand, while demand for plain
and medium classes continued slow.
Poor light stockers were hardest to
sell and prices for these tended weak
er, but there was no quotable change
in other classes. Attendance of coun-
try buyers was small and most lockers
We're from the eastern territory. They
were chiefly after weighty steers but
found few Of them in the offerings.
Bulk of dealers holdings consisted of
medium and plain kinds and they had
a hard time interesting Jockeys in
these classes. Cheapness of prices
has thus far failed to stimulate much
country interest In general trade and
demand in late days fell below ex-
pectations.
There is very unreliable outlet for
light and poorly bred stOckers. and
owners Of these would seem to be do
ing wise thing to hold onto them.
