HOGS-ln comparison with the heavy
runs the early part OF the week today's
receipts were extremely moderate, about
s. cars, or $500 head. being received. This
brings the weeks total up TO 4S.S6S, being
just double the supplies for the same days
last week and 1900 heavier than a year
ago.
Local receipts were light but heavy
supplies in Chicago and fresh breaks at
other points caused values to slump again
today. The trade opened out practically
dead. There was no shipping demand
and spectators were doing nothing, so
that when packers failed to bid on first
rounds there was nothing to indicate how
much OF concession they wanted. Later
on, when first offers were finally made
they looked 20 be anyway l5a3Oc lower.
Az sellers were asking nearly steady
prices early II was some time before any
thing was done but traders kept gettinA
closer together. until when buyers offeree
iOc lower prices few hogs began t.
move After few sales had been mRdy
the market hraced trifle more, 30 that
the big end OF the offerings finally sold
at figures that were not over 5gloc below
yesterday.
Tho extreme dullness OF the early trade
made Il late before things started mov-
ing, and as the market was not overly
active at any time II was well along
toward midday before any sort OF q clear
ance was made. Bulk OF the offeringe
moved at s.. 7O16.S0. with sprlnkling AT
SIS and "a top OF 1890. Just a dime below
yesterdays best price.

heifers sold quite freely At prices that
were strong TO Toe higher than yesterday:
Feeders were scarce and commanded
about steady prices.
II has ben mentioned In these columns
several times that the government quar-
antine regulations are such that all cattle
shipped from territory recently under
quarantine can be sold only for immediate
slaughter. II has also been stated that
no cattle from territory recently under
quarantine can be sold as stoekers or
feeders and reshipped back TO the coun-
try. In spite OF that fact several ship
ments OF stocker steers and calves have
been sent to this point from western
Iowa. They can be sold only to packers.
and, being too thin for beef the packers
VIII buy them only az CAMPERS and at
calves received this week from Iowa have
under necessity been sold 10 packers at
prices that we're sl.OO12.OO per hundred
lower than they would have brought
could they have ben sold as stockers for
reshipment to the country, The same
regulations are In force at all market
points and y foliowa that the only policy
for the shippers OF Iowa or other states
recently under quarantine Is to keep their
stocker and feeder cattle at home until
government regulations are changed.
