last year. SIS
The market today was another uneven
affair. and yesterdays trade was so ir-
regular that It was quite a job TO COM

ately. shippers bought freely, taking over a
| third Of the entire offerings. Some Of
| their first purchases were no more than
steady, but most Of their hogs were bought
on cent higher basis, md some pur-
chases. they made towards the close as
much as 5000 higher.

packers. with urgent shipping coVpettion
and light receipts they started out earlier
than they have for twosor three days. buy

active all through, closing prices being
fully as good as at any other time. A
clearance was made before 10 o'clock.
The general market averaged close to
b@i0c higher than yesterday. Yesterdays
decline was more than regained, the bulk
selling at 3i3.0S01325, and average cost

There really was nothin. here on which
to quote q market, and prices were called
nominaJly steady with yesterday. Out OF
the twelve cars received only four, two dou-
bles and two singles. were on sale. Six
loads OF fat ewes were direct to the packers,
and two cars OF breeding ewes were going
through. The few lambs that were on sale
included heavy natives at 1895. weight fed
westerns at 113.40. and one car OF pretty
good fed westefns tina. ran little to weight
at 1880. Not single old sheep or feeder
was available.
The light run was indeed a fortunate
thing. for killing demand was no better than
1t has been the past two or three days. 1t
was pretty well along in the morning be-
fore packers even tried to bu. what little
stuff was here. and theh they showed no
particular eagerness. This condition Is likely
to continue for rome days, too, as eastern
dressed mutton markets arr congested, de-
mand is slack. and It Is going to take some
little time fori the trade to get back on Its
feet.
Compared with last weeks close fat lambs
