Chicago, Aug. 1O.-Hogs rose decid-
edly in value today owing to the fact
that arrivals here were much less
numerous than expected. Advances OF
Is and 20 cents were scored.
A new top for the year was made
Wednesday when 1915 was paid 70.
butcher weights. The top Wednesday
was the highest since April IL, 1910,
when 1850 bought the best offerings.
At the start 1910 looked like the top,
but when the market strengthened
later this price was common ana
packers paid up to 1915 for some
butcher weights.
During the first three days of the
week there have been about $4,000 hogs
received at Chicago, being 2S,2O0 less
than same days last week, $1,000 more
than year ago and 9,20V less IMAM
same period two years ago.
Eleven markets received $1,000 nogs
Wednesday, or 1850 less than last
Wednesday, 27,200 more than year
ago and l4,700 less than two years ago
Total the first half of this week, 255,-
0O0 or $4,000 less than same period last
week, $1,000 more than like time last
year and $4,000 more than correspond
ing three days two years ago. Total
for 1915 to date, 1S,443,000, or 2,O66oCV
more than same period 1915 and 4,26I,-
coo more than corresponding time 1914.

started hog prices on down treno'
many in the trade felt that the bottom
was about TO drop out Of the market
Now there is a wave OF bullish sentl-
ment on both sides.
Demand for fresh pork and proVi-
sions holding broad, not alone on 40
nestle account, but in foreign chan-
neis, has brought about reversai~o O.
form in the trade. Export outlet is
growing. Pork is getting healthy can
in all domestic quarters.
Supply conditions are not bearlsh
and neither are they likely to be for
weeks ahead. 1t is legitimately higher

fected until the consumers balks at ad-
vanced costs. E.,.-
Cattle.
Choice cattle were in demand OUT
other kinds were slow.
An impression prevails that the mar

ras been the trend in recent days, and
as sharply higher values fail to dis
l2dge generous runs Of corned cattle. It
is apparent that such classes are shy IN
the country and will be for long
time ahead. Corn has been TOO high
all season to induce generous 1eedlns
of it, but those who have fed literally
and held cattle during the recent pc.
Rod OF reaction from high point o.

their confidence in the ability OF the
market to do a comeback perform

Price spread is bound to widen and
the killers having broken range steers
from best levels of the season and still
able to hold them from a reaction, are
in a position to check advances LOT
