I15.-Packers predictions for another
cut in hog prices did not materialize
today. Instead there was an upward
tendency and the sales were all from
Il0M15 cents above yesterdays prices.
This was largely brought about by
, the slump in receipts. Yesterdays
advance car reports showed there
would be $4,000 come iri during the
night and morning. This estimate
fell short 1900 as the receipts today
were only $4,000. The bulk of the
