Chicago, Feb. Liberal receipts to-
DAY gave the first setback this week
to hog prices. Values dropped 10 ana
20 cents.
Receipts of hogs continue to dwindle
at most of the leading markets. The
eleven points Thursday received 1922
900. being $4,000 less than a week ago
and 5000 more than year ago. when
storms in different parts of the country
curtailed supplies. Sioux City year
ago received only 600.
The eleven markets first four days of
this week received 100000. showing
$4,000 decrease compared with week
ago and 121 900 decrease compared with
points received 6S3.00O less than a year
ago at 1,421,0OO, or practically a third
less than two years ago.
Cattle.
Prime cattle were in demand but
other kinds were more numerous than
needs called for.
Receipts here Thursday We're esti-
mated ~ $4,000, standing slightly below
expectations, over 1000 less than last
Thursday and nearly twice as many as
year ago. Four days arrivals to-
tailed $4,000. or about half as large as
same period last week and $4,000 less
than corresponding time year ago.
Months receipts approximate 100000,
against 30S,s66 last January.
Six outside western markets received
$4,000. Adding the Chicago run, seven
markets had $1,000. or 5000 less than
a week ago and 1900 moro than a year
