According to the views of several trad
ers, hog statesmen "let q bird get away"
Tuesday morning when they failed to
accept buyers offer to take the good
against $1575@16 the range in prices
on Monday. They finally adopted list
of prices that represented a loss of loo
on the lghtest hogs and 50c on the
most traders provided the hogs averag-
ing more than 800 pounds should sci
at 1929. Those Averaging $50 to 800
pounds at $1.50 on down to 225 pounds
at S1575 and the highest hogs
at S15.S5. There was a tiptop price of
SIG, 1Oc lower than the Monday top.
Throwouts were also 25c lower. with the
sales of pigs up to S15.25 and the best
sows as high as 1919. There was
good clearance of the receipts of 1890
hogs and local killers took about $500
hogs.
CATTLE.
There were fewer than 900 cattle ar
rived for the Tuesday market. but this
did not seem to improve the situation or
help sellers in checking the attack OH
prices started several days ago. There
were a number of traders WHO believed
the general market was steady with re-
spett to the position in prices as COM
pared with those for the day before, but
radical views indicated the trade was
the worst sellers have experienced for
a long time and that all kinds OF cattle
used by killers were not only lower
than on Monday but that they were diff
hcult to sell at any price. So far steers
and heifers have suffered more than COY
stock In the lower movement In prices,
but 1t was observed that there has been
a general loss of more than 81 In prices
of most of the killing cattle In the last
week. Calves We're more or less lower,
with only odd sales as high rs $50 and
heavy sold from $40 down. There was
continued quiet market for feeding cat
tic.
SHEEP.
IN the receipts of 800 sheep and lambs
there was no young stock sold higher
than $40, considered 81 lower than the,
have been for some time, and sheep were
steady at $40 for the best light sort ana
50 down for others.
