HOGS-There was another DOWNWARD
movement In values today, prices at prac-
tically all market points showing more or
less weakness under the influence Of lib
eral receipts and continued hammering on
the part of packers. Locally the market
started out 5dl0c lower, with the trade
pretty slow and dun at current prices. A
good many Of the hogs sold at right around
s.. .65, as against S.6)q6.7 70 yesterday.
With a very good showing of hogs and
with the market opening late, the morn
ing was well advanced before anything
like a clearance was effected.
REPRESENTATIVE sales.
