COMPARATIVE SALES.

There were only 5000 fresh arrivals
of hogs on Tuesday, but there were 2,2OO
layovers and enough to cause buyers
to hesitate in following an unusual ad-
vance of 50Q75c demanded by the sell
ing side. fair outside demand finally
boosted the ideas Of other, buyers ana
a compromise resulted in a general adj
vance of 25c There was no excitement
in the trading at the higher level in
prices and some of the late observations
reflected a weaker tone in affairs. Il
was estimated that about 1000 hogs were
sold. The good hogs averaging less
than $50 pounds were eligible to sell at
$3.50 those averaging up to $50 pounds
were eligible to sell at $15.40 and the
heavier grades at $13.25 in regular way
There was some deviation from the fixed
up to $15.65 for closely selected light
hogs. Throwcuts were 25c higher. with
the sales of pigs up to $l3, and the best
sows sold at $14
In one way or another there was.
more satisfactory market for the bovine
family so far as statesmen and owners
were concerned The most liberal estl'
mates did not indicate an advance or
more than 25c and there were others
shcation of the cattle in favor of the
seller. Still others claimed a difference
in the fill from that of Monday would
offset any advance In the list of prices
There were Only ,lUO cattle IeftlNGu
and they were cleared promptly at pre-
vailng prices. There was higher
market for veal calves, with the to-
price practically S21, but there were odd

feeding cattle was not quite 20 -ma
there was no quotable change in prices
