question as to the effect such attempts
might have toward enlarging purchases for
Europe. In this respect, majority of deal
ers appeared unable to see cause for en-
couragement at present. Plans for the re-
mOval OF some of the stock at Minneapolis
to eastern states was more or less offset by
word that receipts at Minneapolis included
liberal amounts OF wheat from Canada.
Evidence OF seaboard demand for corn
strengthened that cereal at one time. but in
the main the tendency Of prices was down
grade with wheat. Europeans were said to
have bought two cargoes. The oats market
was governed by the course OF other cereals.
Selling was not heavy.
Packers buying rallied provisions. Weak
ness earlier had been largely due to a de-
cline In the hog market and to the fact that
shipments of provisions from here were

Hogs--The hog run was the the smallest
that has been here since Monday, but at
that was very decent for a Friday, 1855 cars
or about a. 900 head, showing up. For the
week to date supplies total st.la4 head, as
against 1888 last week, 6I,oss two weeks
ago and 1885 year ago.
Packers eventually cleaned up all but ten
OF twelve loads yesterday making their
later purchases fully q dime TO. in some
cases, i6c lower than early. This morning
shippers were again free buyers carly.
Their orders we're exclusively for the good,
light hogs and were filed at figures that
ranged from steady to 1oc 'lower than yes
terday, or were as a general thing about Sc
lower. 1t Is interesting to note that prao-
tically all the hogs they bought weighed
around 800 pounds or less, while they re-
fused to even look at wetghty stun. OF
course, the hogs they bought naturally had
to be of good quality.
Packers talked lower prices from the out
| set, and while they were unable TO do much
| at the start, the killer market finally opened
| on a mostly 1oc lower basis That Is. prices
were around dime lower than the morning

Hfteen loads, Lost of which were on the
weighty order, were held for today.
This holdover on top of the decent fresh
suppIy made total offerings the largest for
a Friday in some time, and. as the refriger-
ator car shortage had not been relieved, the
trade was pretty much repetition OF yes
terday's being draggy and again showing
declines.
Owing TO the extreme unevenness the last
couple OF days and the fact that packers
have been buying almost none Of the real
heavy lambs, comparing prices today was
no easy job. BY noon the bulk Of the
handyweight lambs had changed hands at
prices that were around 15c lower than

pared with the best time on yesterdays
opening, valued were as much as a quarter
lower in spots. A good many Of the me-
