LIVE STOCK MARKET

At the opening of the hog trade
today a few cars of choice butcher
hogs sold about steady with yester-
day at $7.15 and $3.50. However,
fresh receipts of 10000 kept regular
buyers in the back ground, and as q
result trade ruled slow with the gen
eral market SC lower, basis at which
it closed. The pig market was again
bad, due to the lack of sufficient East
ern orders. This end of the trade
opened 10c to 15c lower and showed
the lowest level in some days.
Bulk of the good weight hogs
brought $500 to $7.05; strong weight
pigs $6.75 to $500; light pigs s6.40
to $6.75, with rough hogs at So to
$6.35. A good many pigs were left
unsold.
The supply of cattle was consider
ably lighter today and the 22O0 on
offer held buyers in check from fore
ing any further declines which they
had started in good shape yesterday

largest in some time, lacked the usual
