- A@E-htEcipNG OF cattle HIS hOIAkAAtk
We're fair for a Friday. eignty-seven cars
being reported in, but they we've smaller
than had been anticipated, yesterdays esti-
mates being over l0 cars. The market as
a whole was rather dull, especially on the
opening, with an easier tendency.
Packers did not seem to be very anxious
and late, with buyers bidding prices that
were around a shade 10 IOc lower than yes
terday. The trade continued slow all the
morning, but most everything sold in the
Cows and heifers we're also slow sellers
with the market generally Ice lower than
yesterday. Buyers were rather indifferent
and II required a good deal Of peddling on
the part OF statesmen TO get out with any
thing like satisfactory prices.
There we're no stockers and feeders here
OF any consequence. only a few scattering
punches being reported in first hands.
There were really not enough here to make
any very great test OF the market, but the
feeling, 10 say the least, was weak.

HOGS-Hogs opened 1Oc lower this morn
ing. Some OF the best heavy hogs perhaps
did not show that much decline. In fact.
statesmen who had good weighty hogs
thought that they did not take off over
sQl0c. On the other hand. light hogs were
very much neglected. some Of the buyers
on shipping account not being in. and as
a result they were slow 20 move ana they
started out more than IOc lower. Statesmen
who had common light hogs thought they
were bidding l0aaSe lower. with no one
trying very hard 70 secure them even at
that decline. AS Is very apt to be the
case on a lower market, the trade was
rather slow. statesmen fighting hard 10
maintain values. while buyers were natur-
ally very bearish. in view Of lower adj
vices from other selling points.
still the hogs kept selling and practically
everything was cleaned up by midday. al
though a total OF las cars were reported in
up to that time. The market did not i'm
prove any toward the last, owing In part to
the fact that there were plenty OF hogs
to III all orders and to the further fact
heavy run for tomorrow. Taking tho trade
as a whole. IT might be summed up as "a
Zoe lower on the best heavy hogs. i0c lower
ON the general run OF weighty hogs. i0H1sc
lower on light hogs. closing in extreme
cases loaDc lower on the common light
