Market Centers is Reflected
in Richmond.
BY WILLIAM R. sANsoRN

H6 COuluu60 wet WeaIAef curing
the latter part of last week was taken
advantage of by the farmers to MAKE
deliveries OF live stock, as corn plant
ing was out Of the question. This con-
ditioH resulted in an over-supply OF
hogs at all markets. and in material
decline In prices, as compared with the
previous week.
Wet weather seemingly prevailed
all over the livestock country last
week, judging from receipts. There
were. for instance, 900 hogs received
at Chicago alone on Thursday and Fri
day, and the result was break OF 81
per hundred on hogs as compared with
recent prices. Receipts of cattle have
also been on a liberal scale every
where and prices have been gradually
shrinking until at the low point cattle
had suffered break of from SO to 81
per hundredweight, as compared with
the top some thirty days ago. Com.
paratively heavy receipts Of veal
calves have also been somewhat of a
weight on the markets, and locally the
record receipts OF calves in any two
days in the history of the Richmond
yards was broken last week, when 200
head costing $4,074.69, went over the
scales IN forty-eight hours. The prices
paid ranged at from 10 to Is cents per
pound. Spring lambs were also more
plentiful locally, and prices ranged 1T
from 81 to S. lower than at the high
est notch this spring. the best 60-lb.
to 70-lb. lambs selling last week at
$40 per hundred.
The Break In Hogs
The heavy break in hogs at the large
market centers was duly reflected at
the Richmond yards. Hogs that cost
$40 to $20.25 on Thursday morning
sold at $19 on Saturday.
The receipts of hogs at the local
yards last week totaled SAT head for
which $22.273.53 was checked out.
Forty head of cattle brought shippers
S., 400 and the 209 veal calves netted
their owners $4,074.69. But thirteen
spring lambs were received during the
week and these sold at $128.60. Total
stock purchases at the Richmond
yards for the week ending Saturday.
