| Chicago, Jan. S.--The hog market
was strong to cents higher than
! Tuesdays close The run was near the
$4,000 mark.
| The run Tuesday was estimated AZ
$4,000 at the opening. Trains dragged
! in as slowly as the market itsell
dragged, and ran so heavily to hoss
that the receipts were boosted to aa,oOo.
and some were confident that trey
would figure closer to $4,000. rms
, was more than enough the way pack :
ers were bidding, and specs. were
, not very buoyant. Shippings orders
were light and statesmen found the go
ing tough. even tho they happened TO
have good hcgs in their pens. chicago

Heavy hogs were a stiff proposition
to dispose Of especially anything
Weighing upward Of 3e5 pounds. one
load weighing close to 400 pounds, all
ot which were harrows, sold as low as
$40. showing how much discrimlha-
ton was shown against this ciass'
Light hogs and even pigs mixed we're

On moderate receipts cattle ned

was $1,000 for the day. Trading was
cf a moderate character.
A liberal share OF Tuesdays crop OF
900 comprised cattle which were GU"
to land here Monday, but nao peeh
held out at feeling stations in com
pliancc with the federal time limit law.
In this connection the railway agents
stated that if more shippers would
sign the thirty two-hour release clause
they would be landed at market in
time to sell the day they intended.
Several instances of delayed arrivals
were accounted Tor in this manner.
Shippers from the same localities who
started at the same time got mere
day apart, because some signed the
thirty-tw hour release and others din
not, and those failing to sanction 4
thirty two hour run witnessed their
consisnments being sidetracked to feed
and rest while the others came on.
For two days this week the run
stands 33.1OO, against 25,S05 a weeh ago
