HOGS : The hog market situation
showed considerable Improvement over
yesterday. Eastern advices indicated a
stronger tone to the general trade and
as there was only meager supply Of
hogs at the yards, sellers were able to
realize prices generally 5ml0c higher,
bulk of the sales showing dime ad-
vance. A bullish feeling prevailed DUR
ing the early trade due partly TO the
active buying of shippers and SPECTATORS
who secured fully one-half OF the re-
ceipts at prices mostly dime higher.
Packers apparently had few orders to
fill and got most OF their hogs only Sc
higher, though quite a few purchasers
showed big nickel advance. As packer
buyers were somewhat bearish closing
trade was slow, especially on the COM
mon grades and old piggy sows. A
clearance OF the offerings was made In
very fair season. As for some little
time back good light hogs sold to the
best advantage and brought the highest
prices, one OF that kind selling to
shipper at the top price-$seO, all Of a
dime higher than yesterdays high mark.
Receipts footed up no more than about
thlrty-eight cars, or 2.543 head, as against
422 last Saturday and 3,977 head on the
corresponding day year aego For the
week hogs are aboute 5@10c higher than
a week aego, although top price last
Saturday was sS.45 as compared with $500
today.
