meat imaginable. The market is on a
weather basis and the pig run is eN-
pected to be voluminous for weeks to
come. Average weights are the lightest

That the action in prices will hold
next week is felt certain II there is 10
big run at hand. The trade is urging
a moderate Monday run and today es-
Inmates were around 20 900, altho re-
cen, price Jumps may induce free load
ing Of cars in the country. Given a
run O; $4,000 TO $4,000, however. re-
action from current levels can well be
looked for, since there Is still a repres-
Give influence being felt in beef trade
as result Of poultry competition.
While consumers are picking over the
Thanksgiving turkey bones no very
broad call for beef can be expected.
This weeks fve-day run stood 1880.
against 5s.434 a week ago and 24,sos
year ago. The smaller run has been
the price stimulator In all lines OF
trade. At six markets total for five
days stood 10000, against $4,000
week ago and 10000 a year ago.
A break in the market early this
week was logical IN view of the bad
situation in beef trade and it was
alone the light run since then which
put the prices back to a strong basis.
Expected broadening of eastern de-
,nand is not Undertaking.. aitho the
eastern states are pretty we'll run out
Of good beef and should soon put in
broader demand here.
The advance guard of long-fed
beeyes fed Tor Christmas trade is com
ing into the market now. a few cars
being here this week and more Will
come the week ahead and also for the
following weeks market Strong prices
now current FOR that kind are expected
TO hold up and even new top levels for
the year are looked for in the Christ
mas beef trade, but il takes a fancy
kind of heavies, handy and yearling
beeves 10 land in that category and a
bulIish trade In them can in no meas
ure have influence in the market for
mediocre and common goods.
Cautious marketing of the latter is
imperative to prevent recessions from
present price levels.
Sheep.
