Chicago. Dec. 12-Hog values were
steady. Packers prices were on the
basis of closing price yesterday. The
top was $3.50 for fancy lots.
Some hogs were left in first hands
Monday when the market was over.
Receipts were estimated first at $4,000
and later at $4,000 to $4,000. which
compared with 43.161 last Monday. 3d.
sS4 a year ago and 1924 the CORE

not very numerous and some SOLD

lower
Eleven markets were credited With
100. 700 hogs Monday. or 1920 less than
week ago. 10,700 more than a year
ago and 1000 less than the correspond
ing Monday two years ago Eastern
markets were more lightly supplied
than a week ago. while the western
receipts held up we'll generally. Total
for 1911 to date 2s.372.000. or 5.66e.00o
more than the same period in 1910 ana
.3O1. 600 more than the corresponding
time in 1909.
Cattle.
There was no change in cattle prices.
Receipts were light.
A god share Of the bloom which
showed in the marke. last week Woulo
certainly have been lost in the Monday
deal had the supply come up to ex-
pectancy. A run OF $4,000 to $4,000
would have given killers all the best
of the deal and sharp decline would
have been inevitable AS the situation
stood. however. sellers were on an
equal footing with the buying forces
and able to sustain all the strength IN
,he trade which was such an agreeable
feature last week.
The Monday run was only Few
hundred larger than week ago ana
stood against 1898 year ago. wnen
market conditions were in bad shape
and there was all kinds OF indncement
for feeders to cut loose their holdings
and save corn. Just now. however. even
tho the corn price is working higher
and feed wards are in bad condition,
the trade does not believe 1t good
time to liouidate steers. Beef demand
is too arm to warrant the feeder taking
very gloomy view Of the Immediate
future. and corn is not too high to bar

Chicago, Dec. 12.-Rain in the Ar

more unfavorable brought about little
show Of ffrmness today in the marke;
for wheat The lack of any buying en-
thusiasm. however acted as drag On
prices. Besides receipts northwest, tho
smaller than last week, continued to
exceed the figures of a year ago. An
increase in the European visible supply
had a tendency also to offset in par!
the bullish news from Argentine. The
opening was unchanged to 1sdA UP.
May started at 81 to e7ls, the same
change from last night as the market
rs a whole. Later there was a reaction
to e6A.

Liberal purchasing on the part OF d
few houses put some strength into
corn. Trade. however, was slow. May

Later the market advanced owing to

Oats sympathized with corn. The
market was helped too by the fact that
offerings weer moderate. May started a
shade higher at ASS and showed a dis
position to hold steady a t that figure.
Provisions.
The lighter run of hogs aided in Civ
ing provisions a lift, but meat and lard
shipments were less than year ago
First sales varied from shade to IL

$s.15 for lard and sS.37la for ribs.
