HOGS-The market was another bearish
affair all the way through. Nothing Of
| that was indeed fortunate, for fresh re.
| ceipts were far too large for 4 Saturday
Shippers put In another light day, and with
the tendency lower at all other points
packers had no great difficulty In getting
prices down. Movement was not quite sc
| lively on early rounds as It was yesterday
but at that trading got started In better
| season than was to be expected.
Packers offers were fully 100 to In spoti
| 200 lower right at the outset, and despite
| sellers protests that so great q decline wal
unwarranted, that was the way tho hogi
| finally sold, most droves going on q full ibt
lower basis. while not few sellers claimed
| that they had to make concessions of al
much as zoe in some instances. Choic,
hogs, which up to today showed less de-
cline than any other kind. were, II any
thing. punished worst today. tops dropping
u quarter.
Since today's break prices are at the low
est levels seen sinoo the early days Of July
In the last two days a full 500 decline hal
been registered, which means that valuei
are Q full s6c lower than q week ago, whei
bulk sold at ss.669s.7b. and the top stoot
at 1926. One Of the big features Of THU
week's market came Thursday. when choio
heavies sold at $1,000, the first time tn
price has been paid here since April. 1910
