Chicago. Nov 1s.-Demand was acA
| tive for hogs today and prices adj
vanced nickel. The days run was
lighter than expected.
! Mondays receipts officially totaled
over $4,000 head Buyers were fairly
well filled up after that run. Ship
ping demand was rather light, owing
/ to good runs in the east. and there
was not much competition on that &C
count. One load of hogs at the start
sold to a Spectator at $500. This sale
was much out of line with the gen
eral market later. Practical top Of
market was $3.50 after trade was well
under way.
Receipts included a large number OF
pigs and underweight light hogs They
were very slow on the market and sold
at largest declines. 1t was very nara
TO gain action on this stuff.
On Mondays market inferior to good
mixed packing hogs ranged at $1,000
go Most went in a range of S7.oo0
80 Mediums and butchers sold at
S76567.S0. Poor to good heavy. While
rather slow at start, were active later
and offerings cleared at 1916 a 7.55.
Rough heavy packers went at $1,000
7.3o. Light-weights were slow all day
and showed most decline on market
Sales were at s7.25@ $50. Selected
packing and shipping lots ranged at
s7.6O@s.0o.
Cattle.
Smaller cattle supplies than expected
helped to lift prices.
A drove of 11O0-p pound stuff sold at
1925 on Monday which the sellers
said would lose the owner the cost or
his corn plus the freight. and there
have been lot of such deals here IN
the past week. There is q consider
able volume OF business now below
$500, which is conservatfvely quoted
soc lower than best levels two weeks
ago, but a fair share of $500 trading.
as well, shows like decline. while on
I'D to ss40ds-75 it L. a deal in steers
Of kind that took at least 900 AUG
often more money-at high time.
It took very good heifer sort to go
=. 1925 and a lot OF useful killing
heifers landed at s5.50G 5.75, wn1le
down to s5.o5 1t was a light pladnish
sort. and tailings went under $500.
Only the choice corn-fed higher class
could make $780, and 800 bought
strictly choice yearlings, such as have
lately sold along with yearling steers
| at a whole lot more money. A prime
yearling heifer kind is getting some
pretty good demand. as evidenced by
a sale Of 772-pound averages Monday
at ss25, but 1t is now small trade
above 1925. Cows from diaries ana
common to decent in class sold at $4.'o
@5.00, with a pretty good stalk-fed
kind around s5.1565.35, and tat peer
cows sold at $3.50 500. Choice grades
were worth around 1925 and higher
prime kind being eligible to 500 and
more but that stuff is distinct rarity
in the supply.
Sheep prices were generally 10 to 10
cents higher.
| MANY very desirable native ewes
were purchased early at $500, but az
| ter the run was cut down the top was
boosted to $4.15 in several instances
while s425 was eventually palo lot
fancy arrivals. Only plain KINDS went
around 1915, while seconds sold gener-
ally within s3.0o@3.50 range, oulk
making 1925. Odd wethers SOLD at
s4.5O@50 but few passed s4.75. Prime
! 11o-pound yearling wethers SOLO at
$3.50 and lighter weights passed 1919
| occasionally. BUCKS were
largely at $3.50.
Nearly 500 fairly good Montana
wethers averaging 102 pounds sold at
s4.5O. while better arrivals cleared at
$3.50. Montana ewes at s4.lO We're
strictly good, while the two lots OF req
westerns at 1920 were prime Killers
gave $500 for Montana yearling ewes
and s5.15 for yearling wethers, While
they paid 1926 for mixed wearing
ewes and yearling wethers. A band OF
Montana feeding yearlngs went al
s. 40 or 15c higher than Monday. for
a similar band at $3.50 under heavier
sort
! Buyers paid more money for lambs
and the break in prices was checked
after continuing since last Wednesday
ai+ho some early lots looked only
strong. the general market averaged
t15125c higher than Monday. 1t was
the best market in about week. anu
sellers had less trouble accomplishing
a clearance Receipts proved smaii
altho at the outset the posted esti-
mate looked liberal under prevailing
conditions 1t was soon evident tha'
supply would be limited.
