clined to await developments before filling
| their orders. The result was a slow marke,
with the feeling weak. Some choice cornfed
yearlings sold PIP to s1i.05. the highest price

Hogs--chlcago had big run, and with
| early prospects Indicating that prices would
show no advance there, shippers were able
to fill their orders at prices that were in
most cases unchanged though they called
someof their hogs &c higher. The top was
the same as II has been all week. $10.1b
First packer bids wereif anything easier
than yesterdays average, but later reports
from the Windy City were more encouraging
and when movement started II was at figures
that were steady to mostly &c higher than
Yesterdays average, or about the same prices
as were In force at the good time yester-
day,
Some trains were late but as n general
thing, belated arrivals sold Just as high as
any time. After the early hogs were cleaned
ceipts fell short Of expectations and while
the later trade was not overly active II
was firm at morning prices.
The general market was largely &c high
err, some hogs being called only steady.
Bulk Of the sales was made at $3.50 COOS,
with the top as noted at $1015 While
