PRICES REACT SHARPLY AFTER
MARKED ADVANCE IN OPEN
ING HOURS.
PACKERS REFUSE TO
SUPPORT HIGH VALUES
Demand From Small Dealers and
Eastern Buyers Responsible For
Early Gains--cattle Offerings Lack
QAality and Market Turns Weak
Sheep Offerings Not overpIentifuI.

Chicago, Nov. 2.-Altho demand from
small dealers and eastern buyers
caused a sharp advance today in hog
values, no support fer the high prices
could be obtained from packers aRl
there was decided reaction.
General price range was by long
odds the narrowest of the season, the
Armour droves of mixed costing $3.50,
while the top for fancy butchers was
Sl7.35. A week ago yesterday the Ar
mour drove cost si4.92, while the top
that day was s16.S0.
Only half as many hogs were re-
ceived Thursday as arrived correspond
ing Thursday year ago. The total
at $4,000 was 5000 smaller than previ-
Gus Thursday. For the first four days
of this week eleven points were cred
tied with $4,000, being $4,000 less than
arrived a week ago. 100000 less than
a year ago and $4,000 less than two
years ago. T.
Cattle.
Cattle offerings lacked quality
Compared with the. close of last
week, offerings still show about %
cents advance on the bulk. Quality was
not of a very good standard, altho q
few loads of fairly good lots were to
be had Shippers Were no more ag-
gressive than the packers and it was
late before sellers accomplished a
clearance.
Receipts Thursday were several
thousand larger than expected at 5000,
standing 5000 larger than a week ago.
$500 larger than a year ago and $500
larger than two years ago. Thus far
this week $4,000 showed up. or $1,000
more than same period last week and
$4,000 more than corresponding four
days a year ago.
Six outside western markets had 49,
900. or 1000 less than a week ago, 5000
less than two weeks ago and 10000
more than year ago. Including Chi
cago the seven markets had $4,000
making 2S3.00o for the week to date,
or $4,000 more than same period las!
week and $4,000 more than correspond
ing time a year ago.
Sheep.
Sheep did not appear overplentiful
Local receipts Friday were called
$4,000 late and proved heavier than a
week ago. but lighter than year ago.
Four days receipts total $4,000,
decrease of nearly $4,000 COM
pared with a year ago. Seven mar
kets had $4,000. against $4,000 week
ago and $4,000 a year ago. Thus far
this week combined offerings footed
10000, or $4,000 less than same period
