HoGs-JThe hog market was another
somewhat uneven affair today, but when II
was ali said and done, prices looked Just
about the same as on Friday shippers failed
weaker advices from other markets and the
bearishness OF local packers outside buyers
were able 70 get all the hogs they wanted
az figures that were no more than steady,
and II anything we're slightly weaker. AS
noted above they did not buy enough hogs
to have much effect on the market one
way or smother.
FOR the third time In as many days the
bulk was quotable at t9.s0a9.40 and tops
again sold 1T 1850, which IL as high as
has been paid this week, As compared with
last weeks close current values are not
very far from steady, although tops are Be
lower than last Saturdays high price The
8 a i0c break the first two days OF the week
has gradually been regained on series OF
firm markets. although only on one occasion
has the market shown enough strength to
warrant quoting prices any higher.
sHEEP-The market this week has been
the choppiest affair seen here any time
this year, Monday with the biggest run in
good many days packers pounded prices
| Numerically, forcing declines OF from soc
on best dry-lot clipped lambs to as much
as T5c q s.. 90 on weighty clipped lambs, and
even more on spring lambs and old sheep.
| Tuesday there was a continued weakness
| I'm spots but most grades held steady, and
| the following day, with continued light re-
ceipts values reacted, being generally
| stronger, and IN one or two cases sharply
| higher on Thursdays big advance light
| clipped lambs got back TO within 10 ibc Of
| where they we're a week ago
Aside from a couple OF small lots OF year.
| iinga and wethers clipped ewes mades up
| the entire mutton supply. They broke as
| much as si00 before Mondays close, and
| as they have not recovered 80 much OF the
drop as lambs they are still 500 Tbo lower
| for the week. Best are being bought at
| 81 004725, while most of natives are NOV
| ing at ss,50@675. Heavy sorting has been
| the rule this week, oulls selling at $500 q
$50, Quotations on yeerllngs and wethers
are mainly guesswork The few punches
/ here were 30 small that prices paid for then
| could not be taken as any criterion OF the
market
