Chicago, Oct. 1S.-Downward sweeps
IN grain and provisions gave evidence
today of increased impetus. Corn

Chicago. Oct. 13.-Extreme scanti-
ness Of receipts rallied the hog market
today after a sharp decline at the out
set Values rose 10 to 20 cents over
Fridays average.
This weeks receipts will total close
Ito $4,000. the largest in about eight
weeks, but the number is only half as
large as corresponding week a year
ago, when 14S,364 arrived.
Thirteen thousand more hogs were
received at eleven markets Friday
than arrived q week ago, the total at
$1,000 being $4,000 smaller than a year
ago. The first five days Of this week
eleven points received 10000 more
than week ago and 10000 less than
year ago.
Common to fancy 14O to 31s lb. hogs
sold Thursday at s1s.5o819.25, or a
range of S2.75. being the widest
spread" of the year. A year ago the
same kind sold within a range of s1.1o
per 100 lbs. at 1926 q 1895, with top
heavy and best light cents apart.
With all the break in hog prices
this week there is considerable specu-
receipts. A year ago next Monday ar
rivals were 1920. with the total that
week 1882. followed by 226,l37 the
fourth week Of last October. During
November and December Of 1915. bar
ring Christmas week. there was only
one week when the total fell below
23S,O00 with arrivals the week ending
Dec. at 2s7.275.
Cattle.
Nearly all the cattle that arrived
went to packers direct.
The decline Friday put bulk Of sales
on a lower basis than the close last
week. The market for the week acted
fairly well considering the liberal Of
ferings up to Thursday. On that day
packers started pounding prices on the
medium and better grades, which was
followed out by general discount on
all classes today.
Cattle receipts Friday were estimat-
ed at 5000, about one-half being stun
forwarded to packers. The supply was
$500 larger than year ago and $500
more than two years ago. Receipts for
the first Ave days Of the week total
about $500 head, or 1920 more than
a week ago and 10000 more than
year ago. -
Sheep.
AS usual On Saturday the bulk Of ar
rivals went direct to the pens Of the
big killers.
