Hogs---Receipts Of hogs were . whole lot
lighter even than on last Saturday, and In
fact the days run Of forty-eight cars, or
$500 head, was the smallest for any one
day since November. 1915.
The market was very active, extremely
uneven and sharply higher shippings hogs
showed advances Of dime or more on early
rounds, anything suitable for shipping pur-
poses being scarce and In great demand.
Packers also opened fully dime above last
weeks close and before the close they
bought hogs that were 2oc or more higher
than Saturday. In fact, the whole market
was so uneven that It cannot be compared
with Saturday except In a general way.
Everything sold early.
Bulk. average cost, and top today were
all the highest Of the year, and the highest
on record for the summer months. Most of
the sales landed at $e,sO@lO,15, with scat
tered sales on up to $3.50, the top, and the
average was above 5000 for the first time
since 1910. Prices are now more than $1.00
higher than at the low time less than
three weeks ago, and are between $3.50 and
1900 higher than at this time a year ago.
Sheep--Receipts OF sheep and lambs were
by far the largest of the year to date being
estimated at an even hundred cars, or $4,000
head. This is nearly twice as large as last
anA aNFtar hun wv W. Ia
arc, but smaller than for the same day
year ago by more than 1000 head,
Lambs made up the big end Of the days
offerings, and q good share Of them were
In killing flesh. With prices showing .
weaker tendency elsewhere and the local
run the heaviest on tho map, a lower trade
was In order, and while first packer bids
found no one willing to cut loose, move
ment started in good season and. considering
everything was very active. good many
lambs selling long before noon. Prices
quoted on the early deals were. on paper.
ioOl5c lower than last weeks close, and.
considering quality, most traders called
them l6125c lower. Some real desirable
Californians and wyomings brought $1o.7S,
while the bulk Of the good lambs sold up
ward from Slo.bo. with a fair to decent
kind on down to S10.2b.
Whom It came to comparing prices with
last week there was quite bit of DIFF
ference In opinions. On paper prices were
l091 bc lower and that was the way q
good many traders called the market, but
others thought quality OF some Of the offer
ings wore enough better to warrant quot
ing prices fully l5c to In spots 25c lower
Those who favored the io@lsc lower quota
ton were In the majority. Bulk Of the offer
ings had started scaleward by midday,
though as was to be expected on so large
a run there were several bands stili unsoid
at that time,
A good many old sheep wexe scattered
around, but compared with the size Of
lamb offerings mutton supplies were very
light. Hardly enough sold during the fore
noon to make a basis for comparisons, but
most traders seemed to think that prices
were not far from steady with last week.
Ewes at Ss.so0675 were Of just decent
class, no sales OF anything real good hav-
Ing been reported up to noon.
The big run and . fresh break in killer
prices failed to stop the feeder advance,
buyers giving strong to II anything q little
higher prices right from the start One
OF the feature sales Of the morning was
that Of nearly six loads Of bs-pouhd Wyom-
Ing feeding lambs at Slo,4o a new record.
Really feeders were not a. plentiful as one
would imagine on % large supply. Natur-
ally enough 4 good many were still unsold
at lunch time, lateness In killer nortinr
