HoGS-supplies amounted to about 81
cars, or S'ttS head. making the total for
slightly lighter than for last week, but
Is over 1000 heavier than for the corre-
spending week OF last year.
All buyers were out In the yards early
this morning, but packers refused 10 do
anything. shippers and speculators, on
the other hand, started In early picking
up everything In sight that they could
being all OF ise ana I'm in "srS extreme S'Ss cases @
as much as Dc higher. Altogether they
bought Just half OF the receipts, leaving
only about Is cars at the disposal OF
the packers, who appeared not 20 care
whether they bought anything. A canvas
ol the KILLERS showed that the.r pnr-
chhees did not amount to over 10 cars
ana when buyers started to leave the
yards the balance OF the receipts re-
matned untouched. about ten cars being
IN the pens, while six had not yet come
IN. Prices paid on the few loads bought
by the packers up to this time looked 20
be little better. but a. practically
everything at ali desirable had been
bought by the shippers, Il is almost i'm
possible to make anything like an &C
curate comparison OF values, Bulk OF the
sales was made around N.9b0S.lO and
some good light loads sold rs high rs
S.bb, q dime better than fridays top.
In the end everything was sold, the
late hogs bringing prices Just about
steady with yesterdays market.
For the week prices look to be tbQ20c
higher The big end OF this advance
has been on the heavier, stuff and highly
mixed lights have In many Instances de
cltned during the week. Loads averaging
200 pounds and selling at bottom prlcel
have not been uncommon all week. These
have been highly mixed, running all the
way from pigs TO- soo-pound sows. and
while the good lights are still selling al
the top, there Is no demand for the
sHEEP-Uniike other Saturdays foi
several weeks back no fresh receipts
came In this morning.
An unusual and very interesting fea
ture q the weeks trade haa been 2 goo'
Ing receipts. In all iN.7Ss head Of sheer
and lannba have been yarded being th'
/ largest weeks supply since the record a.
| this market was made In October, 1910
| During the week ending October 16 O
that year 1892 head were received. onl,
few more than have been here the las
week.
Owing to the good support given TO tn
LEGAL market by both packer and feede
buyers commission men have been abl
to control the situation ana as a reBul
prices on all kinds OF killers and feedinI
stock have held fully ateady most OF tn
week. There was a little fluotuatlon Il
values, but II was not enough to indi
cate any material change In the trade
Right at the weeks close most every
thing seemed to have n weak and lowe
tendency, but this IL very often the cas-
when the receipts are liberal even thougl
buyers buy freely
Most traders regard both killer an
feeder prices at the close OF the weel
az showing little II any variation from
week ago. The demand continues 500
and big runs are reported In sight 20
the coming week.
