SUPPLY LIGHT;
HOGS ADVANCE
5000 Receipts Smallest for
Long Time Locally.
COMPARATIVE SALES.

Another advance in the price Of hogs
reflected the decrease in receipts, the run
of only 5000 fresh hogs being the small
est for a long time and 10000 smaller
than the average daily receipts so far
this year. The advance was chiefly on
the light hogs that have been exceedingly
scarce this week and they are now sell
ing as high as they were week ago,
while the heavier kind are steady to 45c
lower than at that time.
The bulk of hogs sold on Saturday at
$1590016 were soc higher than the same
decline of 81 in prices of calves and
the top price was practically $21. Other
calves from $40 down were the hardest
hit and the general market for calves is
50 to SO lower than it was earlier this
week. The feeder trade was quiet, but
there was no serious lower revision in
prices this week. There were LOO more
cattle here this week than last week, and
the demand was not normal, on account
of the inadeq uate facilities for ship
ping dressed beef. Prices consequently
slumped rapidly and finally most Of the
cattle used in the manufacture of beef
were selling SOC to 81 lower than they
were on the opening market this week.
Sheep.
There was nearly a normal Saturday
run OF sheep and lambs and with a steady
demand the offerings changed hands
promptly at steady prices. There We're
none of the lambs good enough to sell
higher than $3.50, and there were a few
yearlings at $13. Sheep sold at SO down.
| There were not quite as many sheep and
lambs arrived for the market this week
| as last week, but there was big boos.
to prices for the young stock that finally
sold as high as $21.65, the highest price
ever paid in the market.
averages sold in a regular way on Fri
day, but the sales Of heavier hogs at
$15.30G15.I5 were not great deal higher
than most of the hogs of equal weight
sold the day before. The pig market
was not quite as strong, relatively, as It
has been and they were only shaving
higher at S15.75 down. There was
steady market for sows from S13.75 down.
There were only 5000 fewer hogs this
week than last week and the months
run was 10000 smaller than the abnor-
NAL January receipts last year.
Cattle.
In the run of fewer than 100 cattle
for the closing market this week there
were not enough to create normal in
terest among buyers. but 1t soon de-
veloped that there was not a normal
demand and the small run Of cattle was
large enough. The bidding was again
decidedly lower, but except they OBJ
tanned something near steady prices,
sellers were not inclined to transfer
their consignments and there were not
many cattle sold There was a further
