morning and in a great many cases fully
&c higher than yesterdays early market,
The desirable grades sold largely, at 1850
100, while yesterday one-halt or the re-
celpts went at SIS, with the great big
bulk of all the hogs at T.S2mQ1.SIh. the
best hogs today sold on up as high as ti.so,
which was the top yesterday, but there
were more hogs at the price today. Re
ceipts were very light and the demand,
and All the early arrivals changed hands
in a very short time at the advance noted,
Receipts OF hogs this week have been
quite large, showing a gain OF close to 900
head as compared with last week, but q
falling off of about 1900 head as com
pared with a year age. While values have
fluctuated somewhat during the week, the
general tendency OF the market has been
steadily and rapidly upward. Thus II
started out with a good sharp advance
showing still further siren 9Th on Tuesday.
Wednesdays reaction was made up and
more, too, on Thursday and Friday, while
today's advance leaves the market about
zoe higher than IL was one week ago. Last
Saturday over half of all the hogs in the
yards sold at $40, with a top at N.7b. The
advance this week carries the market ia
the highest point touched since the first
day OF October.
