COMPARATIVE SALES.

All of the Fl 600 hogs estimated as re.
ceipts fer the midweek market were not
unloaded in time to be considered FAC
tor in fixing prices, but they were eA
pected and therefore were held respoHss
sible for an uneven lower revision OF
values. The demand being best for tbs
lghtweights, they were favored the most
and finally sold usually loo lower az PIP.
There was tip top price of $lo.1O, but TINS
did not affect the general market. There
was lack of competition for the heavier
hogs averaging more than 225 POUNDS,
and they were supposed 20 have sold on
a schedule extending from $14: 40 to Sl4to,
d loss of 25c to SOC from the tuesday
prices for the same kind Of hOgs. There
was a slight deviation from regular rates
which was entirely in favor Of the sell
ing side, that is. number of the hogs
averaging more than 200 POUNDS prouguC
10c or 15c more than the n1ed prices for
such kinds. There was an unusual de-
lay In yarding the hogs and 1t appeared
there would be many arrive too late TO
be considered on the Wednesday market.
Local killers increased their buying 10
SIS down, the same as light hogs ana
sows, were considerably lower, with sales
rarely as high as $3.50.
The fresh receipts Of 1900 cattle alone
was a weakening factor, but 1t was also
an<opportunity for the elimination of
lower trend that has characterized the
undercurrent of affairs for some time
estimates indicated a loss of 25c In
general way, but there were sales quoted
60c lower, especially as applied to steers,
and these were Offset to some extent by
the sales Of some of the female butcher
cattle which We're apparently steady. the
run was larger than necessary and Tie
closing trade was weak, with several cat
tie finally unsold. Feeding cattle We're
more or less lower in sympathy with
others and there was a general decline
of soc in prices of calves, with the top
price $50 and other sales at $3.50 to
$3.50
There was a steady market for live
mutton stock, but buyers declared there
were none here good enough to command
top prices. In the run of 700 there were
lambs at $40 and sheep as high as SO. =.
