Representative sales:
ROGS-Receipts OF hogs were large this
morning, 2o3 fresh cars being reported in,
In addition to which there were eighteen
cars carried over from yesterday. At the
same Iime Chicago reported a very heavy
run, with the market there badly de-
moralized. prices being 16q25o lower than
yesterday. Some OF the Chicago packers
wired that they were buying their droves
fully 20o lower. With advices of thai kind
at hand the market at this point opened
slow. Still as It became apparent that
packers really wanted the hogs and as q
pretty good shipping demand was also de-
veloped. the trade took on more life and
the big bulk OF the hogs changed hands
by IL o'clock in the morning. The prices
paid were fully 1oQ15c lower than yester-
day. This means that q good share of
today's hogs sold at F.6Od7,70 %, with T.55
and $3.50 very popular prices. Good, heavy
hogs sold up as high as $50.
SHEEP-keceipts were light this morn
ing; In fact, there were hardly enough
sheep on sale to make a market. h bulk
consisted of heavy Montana wethers and
several odd lots OF native and western
stock.
II win be remembered that there has
been a poorer demand Of late for heavy
muttons than for the lighter kinds. Today's
trade was no exception and Weighty weth-
ers were slow actors. Although early trade
In native and western stock was largely
OF q peddlinE nature, the demRn was fair
and the supplies changed hands In reason
ably good season. The general market
today is quotable at steady, with heavy
sheep slow.
A small lot Of western spring lambs
were good enough to bring 3s3S. one deck
OF western ewes sold at $4.S5. and yearllngs
realised 1895.
