RANGE OF HOG PRICES.


| The general sales OF hogs, according
to average weight, were 25c higher on
| Thursday, but there was more or less
deviation from the published price list
and it was finally observed that there
was considerable business 50c higher
than for the day before. The extreme
| price was $15.25 for a greater number
of hogs than sold at s149O on Wednesday
and the regular price for the hogs av
| eraging less than go pounds was $1450
! to SIS. There were not many of the
| heaviest porkers and they were relatively
higher on that account. There were
none sold lower than S14. against S1350,
the low point on Wednesday. The ad-
vance OF the general market was re,
| iected in the sales of pigs from S1450
| down and the sows from $13 down.
| Including $500 fresh receipts there were
| fully 5000 hogs on sale and IL was es-
! timated that not more than 1000 were
/ left unSold.
Cattle.
There was no significant change in the
condition OF the general cattle market,
| but 1t WIS the observation OF most deal
| ers that prices were better, from the
| sellers viewpoint than the first bids in
dicated they would be. In sympathy with
| other markets local buyers expected low
er prices but with only 700 cattle avail
| able for sale and fair demand from
| outside sources sellers were generally
successful In duplicating prices OF the
| day before. The best cattle I'm all de
| partments sold rather strong. but there
was a weaker market for the Gamer cows
aud lowest grade OF heifers. The sen
! eral market for the best calves was
steady with scattering sales high as
I SO but finally the medium veals from
SIS down were 81 lower than they were
the day before. There was only a fair
demand for feeding cattle and prices
were steady.
Most OF the early offerings OF live
mutton stock were light lambs. lighter
than usual at this time in the year. and
this was a big handicap TO the sale.
Other offerings. Including native lambs
as high as $3.50 and sheep up to $3.50.
We're steady. Later western lambs sold
up TO $50. The receipts anally were 300.
