SMASHES PRICES
Hog Prices Lowest In Nearly Four
Years-Sheep Also Lower
Cattle Prices Hold

Omitted States Bureau of Markets &
Minnesota Dept. Of Agricultural
South st. Paul, Mimi, November q.
1920.-The feature Of the weeks live
of hogs to market. The avalanche of
hogs numbering more than a half mil
lion at the seven principal markets
forced prices to the lowest levels for
nearly four years. Average cost of
packers and shippers droves fell to
1926 on Wednesday, with top hogs at
$3.50. After the recess, lighter re-
ceipts bolstered the market, and top
hogs are selling today at $40, bulk
at $3.50 to s9.4O, and small lots of
heavy packing hogs at 1915 to $500.
The weeks loss puts prices around
s1.75 lower than a week ago.
The general consumption Of poultry
on Thanksgiving hurt the market for
dressed lamb and mutton, and live
prices broke badly, and are closing
unevenly Csc to s1.0O lower than a
week ago, with feeding classes show
ing the most loss. Best fat lambs are
selling today for $1,000, and best fat
ewes at $500.
The liberal run of cattle on Monday
forced prices around Csc lower. The
market recovered before Thanksgiv-
ing, wiping out all the loss, and the
market is closing today mostly steady
with a week ago, except tanners and
cutters, best she stock and bologna
bulls which are arounnd a quarter
higher. Bulk of the medium and COM
mon beef steers are selling from $500
to $500, with butcher cows and heifers
mostly from $4.25 to s6.75. Gamers
and cutters are selling from s2.25 to
$500. Prices of veal calves have lost
s1.00 for the week, with best lights
today at s11.00.

Ever since i was a boy / had been

induced TO try the medicine myself.
The first few doses seemed to soothe
