cars estimated at 1000 head. Total for
the week being 26,508 head. Today's mar

great many heavy rough hogs and mixed
loads. Demand was fairly good for the
better kinds, which went at generally
steady prices. The weakness that has been
prevailing all week on the common and
rough grades was apparent again this
morning, the most OF these selling 10c and
possibly more lower. While quite a few
hogs sold above even money possibly a
few more than yesterday, the bulk OF all

at $3.50 and below and down to $3.50
and lower. The market for today is gen.
