\ heavy run of hogs arrived at the local
yards today. Values were far below the
average of the previous session. Close to
1000 hogs were held over from yesterday.
The fact that the market will be kept open
Monday gave buyers a chance to wait with
their trading today, without fearing short
age for their killing purposes. Packing
plants will be closed on the first trading
day of next week and. with the market
open, this will give killers an extra day for
buying.

5000 sheep and LOCO calves.
Cattle-Good steers were about steady, but
few were on hand. Some sales at $4,000

but demand was slow for all medium and
palmer grades. The weeks total supply of
cattle fell short of the number on hand last
week. Prices dropped for all kinds OF
steers. and most of the gain made last
week was lost again. Cows sold slowly a;
steady values, while Gamers were strong
today. Bulls were quoted up to $4,000
f. 10 for good bOlognas, while small killers
paid $11 90 for calves on steady market.
