HOGS-As compared with the runs OF
the last few weeks todays supply was
fairly large, something like eighty-siS
cars, or 5000 head, being received. This
Is one of the heaviest runs In about three
weeks. The total for the two days is
1854, being 5000 larger than a week ago
but slightly smaller than year ago.

real shipping hogs were, scarce, and ship
pers and spectators had to fill their
liberal orders with fair to good mixed
hogs. which they bought at prices that
were in most cases steady with yester-

at So i0QS 30, with several loads OF pretty
fair stuff as high as $50. Packers were
Indifferent again this morning and made
their first offers at a flat dime decline
Statesmen asked steady to strong prices
but even with the shippers buying freely

supply finally started TO move packers

cases nearly lOc lower. Movement, while
not active was fairly continuous, and a
fair clearance was made by reason

fighting for steady prices. Not, until 1920
O'Clock did any movement OF fat lambs
OF consequence take place, the packers
being slow buyers on basis weak TO a
dime bower on fat lambs and about steady
on anything In the line OF mutton. Trade
being draRgy the clearance was naturally

celpts and the liberal supplies and lower
tendency TO prices at most oil other mar
While the feeder trade was literally
supplied with plenty of feeder lambs,

result the best kinds of feeder lambs
held up about steady, while the. common
