course, did not share in the Improvement

Practically everything was cleaned up in

HOGS-Surface of hog trade had sew

substantial gain, amounting to about 100
loads and the run brought in quite a

face of supply figures as well as bearish
reports from eastern centers, packers ali
insisted upon cheaper cost and hammered
the trade for big nickel declines.
Slumpy trend to values was not at
tended by very much duilness, however
and Instead OF dragging along to a tame
finish, the market was fairly active and
closed early in good shape. Yards were
almost entirely cleared OF offerings at
1880 o'clock. Big bulk was purchased
Tor local slaughter, but shippers and
SPECTATORS furnished fair support, buy
ing almost a dozen loads in all
Packing stuff, claiming the heaviest
=. business, sold largely at $6.l21A and the
S5;lOa6l5 spread included all but a few
ODD sales of hogs weighing about $50
pounds and better. Good bacon varieties
commanded small premiums, but indif-
terent quality was avoided and had to
move on par with ordinary lard classes
Best quality stock reached $500. Identical
with yesterdays high price
More or less sorting was necessary in
order TO get action on pig stuff. only two
VI three loads coming straight. Almost
everything In this line looked healthy 60
70 20 FOUNDERS selling around $3.50, with
100 to l4O averages from $3.50 up to $3.50
Inc unexpected presence of so many pigs
In today's receipts Is not regarded as
very significant, as report of disease in
Nebraska and Iowa at present are few
and isolated.
snErr-In size and character, the
Iresh supply of sheep and lambs was de-
elaedy suggestive OF marketing during
the cleanup period OF range trade Only
oI,vIO mead arrived, and the big bulk o.
offerings lacked finish, drawing an in
curry only from country buyers. Lambs
proved the general RUE, the same as re-
Gently, and aside from couple OF toppy
shipments Of a standard brand, there was
nothing very attractive On sale In the
way or fat stuff. Very little scenery
Ied' stock from the corn belt was avail
able and no one regretted its absence.
Fat lambs, despite a rather slim supply,
showed more or less weakness. Early
sales INDICATED uime lower In I'M
anch OF the trade, but even after this
loss is subtracted, II is apparent that
local values are still relatively high as
compared with those in force at eastern
points. The Kinney lambs, topping at
s5.S5 yesterday, had to sell with practi-
cally the same sort at $5.75, and other
varieties were cheapened accordingly.
MRtured muttons in good flesh acted
well from the start, ruling fairly active
and Just ABOUT 6teaQy- desirable ewes
were wanted around S5, and very good
handy wethers moved scaleward at $3.50
$50 Something prime In this line would
probably touch s. 75, but quality rather
than weight Is the first consideration.
Made 20 order yearlings are quotable up
to A.25. some 7O-pounders bringing that
figure yesterday.
Feeder trade preserved it's healthy ap-
pearance and firm prices were usually
paid all along the line support came al
most entirely from country buyers or
their brokers, as the speculative outlet Is
becoming more restricted each day.
Weighty lambs for a dry lot quick turn
were favored, selling from S60 upward
A big string OF 65-pounders went out
yesterday at $50 but thrifty lambs than
are properly feeders can be purchased
at SL5O and less Feeder ewes are still
selling largely under the $500 marx. Aes
terday's total purchase on country &C
count amounted 10 23,s6i head
