Prices for hogs held fairly steady
in the trading at the local livestock
market today, despite fairly heavy re-
ceipts for 1880 and reports Of I'M
usually heavy runs at other market
ing centers. The days receipts how
ever, were several thousand lower
than for the past two days. few
shippers entered the market early and
bought their supplies at steady to
strong prices, some spotted sales
having been regarded as 5 to 10 cents
higher, but the number Of these trans
actions was not large, the bulk If
trading being done within Wednes-
days range of $3.50 to $3.50 for lights,
$3.50 to $40 for medium and mixed
and $40 to $7.25 for heavyweights.
The bulk of sales was made between
1856 and 81, the same as on Wednes-
day. Sows and pigs were steady,
sows selling down from Sc and pigs
down from 1925. AS Gil Wednesday,
few hogs sold higher than 81 as only
those weighing above 225 pounds are
eligible to sell at that figure under
existing prices.
The cattle market was rather
slow affair, but prices were generally
steady, despite the absence of prime
cattle from the yards. The common
and medium grades were In evidence
in large numbers, but buyers have
become accustomed to drawing their
supplies from these grades and are
buying somewhat more readily II not
at higher prices. Receipts, 800.
Strength dominated the calf market
due to a good demand that carried the
top for choice veals to $3.50 and the
hulk to S11.50 TO S12 Receipts, 500.
The sheep and lamb market was
Steady to strong with choice lambs
selling at $3.50 for a practical top,
though n few odd fancies brought s13,
while sheep were steady at Sc down.

MARKET IDEA DOUBTED
Mayor Believes Private Interests
Should Remodel TOmlinson Hall

Mayor Shank today was doubtful
on the advisability of the proposed
remodeling of Tomlinson hall and the
city market at a total cost Of $1,000
0OO Under the plan, an auditorium
seating 10000 persons woul dbe pro-
Yided.
II don't believe the city should pay
for the entire cost Of this. If the plan
should prove practical" said the
mayor. "A stock company headed by
local busciness men would be a better
proposition to finance the project. 1t
is questionable when the city is asked
to put $4,000 900 in a structure like
Tomlinson hail"
The proposed plan was submitted to
the board of works Wednesday by
John F. White of Citizens market
