Chicago, Aug. 15-The hog market
was strong, largely at 1855 The top
was $50
While some markets had as many
hogs on Wednesday as week ago,
none had more, and some were creo-
tied with less, but compared with
year ago several showed increase. To-
tai hog run Wednesday at eleven mar
kets was 64.400, or $500 less than
week ago, $500 more than year ago

same time last week. 1000 more tnah
the like period last year and 5000 less
than the corresponding three days TWO
years ago. Total for 1912 to date TO-

Cattle.
Cattle trade was steady to the extent
of a limited supply, s10.50 being quot
able for choice bullccks.
Numerous big strings Of choice steers
vert at s1O.3OG1o.45 Wednesday. Car
rett Bros. of Let's, sold Seventy-nVe
head to Armour and Doud & keefer
at s10.45, one drove averaging 1893 IDS
and George E Ockert, Roseville. ILL.,.
sold a load averaging 140s lbs at the
same price, while y. r. Johnson. OF
Lafayette, Ind, sold twenty-seven head
averaging 1855 lbs to Armour at the
same price and C. E. Jones, Of Platts-
burg. Mo-, sold one load Of 13S1-lo
beeves at s1O.4O, while there were sew
eral other lots at the same price and
load Of 1l96-lb steers went at S10.25.
Bv far more cattle went upward OF $40
than on Monday, but this was due to
the fact that the crop was larger rather
than to advance in the market.
Bulk of the handy fat beeves sold at
se0069.75 and this range included
lot of choice yearlings made s9.S5, but
there was nothing here In the yearllng
line to compare with the sale Of fancy
IS2-lD steers on IL Wv, VIZ ~
stands as the yearling record for all
| time.
Cattle at ss.oO9s.75 were largely of
grass and light in weight tho the kinds
close up to the latter figure had been
fed some corn, while down to $1.2oM
775 it was a quite plain killer sort OF
grassy stuff and 81 bought a class such
as was better suited to feeder needs
tho the reluctance of feeder buyers to
go above $3.50 again afforded killers
getting some Of the common little
grassers down to $3.50 and under.
The whole sales list shows highest
prices ever paid in the history of the
market, and the fact that values 10Y
grassy and medium steers were weak
ened a few points below levels that
kind made on Monday was clearly off
set by the extravagant figures paid fol
the choice grades.
! Twenty thousand cattle as Wednes
! DAYS run stood a little above expectan
CIV and included about 1000 rangers
