when 1t is remembered that there was little

week at the highest prices ever paid, held
about steady on Mondays small run, but
Tuesday, on the largest supply here in a
month, broke around 15c, the trade that
day closing a quarter or more lower, par
ticularly on some strong weight lambs.
Wednesday, while receipts were smaller,
packers took off another dime, heavy lambs
again being slow at the decline. Thurs
day the market braced up, lambs selling
steady to 10c higher, though the market
was anything but active. Fridays trade was
no more than fully steady and closing prices
are largely 10@15c below a week ago. Bulk

Hogs-It was about the same story as
yesterday in the hog trade this morning,
though the advance was not quite SO large
Shippers had big orders and again took
good percentage of the offerings, paying
prices that were all the way from nickel
to 15c higher. and In extreme cases even
more than that
Packers followed the shipper lead and
filled their more urgent orders at prices
that were around dime higher. The mar
ket was about the most uneven Of the week.
for while the average was about 10c higher
there were individual sales all the way from
not much more than steady to 10000
higher. Most Of the offerings moved at a
spread of $1o.0o@1o.4o and tops reached
$lo50. Values are 30@4Oc higher than
week ago and the highest on record for
January. In fact, prices are getting to
within striking distance of the record fig
ures hung up last September, when tops
reached s11.10 and the average went as high
as 5000. Shipping demand has been the
big factor in this weeks advance and con-
sequently good butcher weights and heavies
show II anything, the most advance, though
all grades have moved up sharply.
