morning very much the same az on srl-
day. Early bids were no more than
strong, but offers improved rapidly, and
By the time trade was actually started
prices were ali or Sc higher. Values con-
tinued TO strengthen up as the morning
advanced, and at the beat time looked
to be fully dime higher. Several loads
that did not arrive until late found the
market fully as good r.s a. o. any Sa oSnsS wsy
through, tiglres paid look to be fully 20
iOc higher, Bulk OF the sales was made
at Ss2Qs.SO, with the long string selling
at tA2 Trade was active throughout All
the day, the early arrivals being cleaned
up by . o'clock or soon after, and such
hogs as came IN late we're sold almost
as soon as they were yarded.
Considering the size Of the receipts, u
might be said that shippers bought rather
freely Their purchases were made at a
range Of Ss.SOGs.5O. the latter price being
the highest paid
For the week the market on packing
hogs looks TO be about BOO higher. Dur
| ing the last half OF the week the quality
OF the mixed and heavy offerings has
been excellent, and with the packing de-
mand in good shape drovers have regis
tered by far the most advance. Shipping
hogs, that Is good quality light and
butcher weight stuff, have been in rather
light supply all week. shippers. having
| to I'LL up on the more common kinds
| were rather averse TO paying a top, ano
no very high prices have been recorded
| Tops a week ago were selling at ISL
Just nickel better than today's best
price.
Receipts today amounted to about six.
| ty-four cars. or 4,2l3 head. For the week
! the total is S,1Ss, over 1000 smaller thar
q week ago, but about $500 larger thar
last year.
