buying by both the shippers and the
with the market of the day before.
Local packers took about their usual
quota OF the 1900 fresh hogs that were
on the market.
The clearance for the Thursday market
was about as predicted by commission
men, but there were indications in the
early trading on the market that led
them to believe that the clearance for
the market today would be much bet

The clearance for Thursday was APP
proximately 1000.
Good light hogs brought top Of
$1T.35, the same, as on the THURSDAY
market, and the bulk Of them brought
around SIPS.
There were many more heavy hogs on
the market than there were on the
Thursday market, but good stroug de-
mand held the prices fairly steady. The
bulk brought $16.50d17, and a few ex-

ity brought SIT.
Mixed hogs were steady. with the mar

The yards are crowded now with cat

than 10000 cattle IN the Kansas City
stock yards and the same conditions
prevail In other markets.
Cattle receipts for the day approx
mated 700.
A fairly strong sentiment on the calf
market today caused a stronger tone Of
trading on the choice calves, the other
grades holding steady.

the market OF the day before. was maia-
