hogs made a fair showing during the
present week, coming closer in price
TO the light stock than they nave been
for some time. A week ago today
top light hogs sold at $685.. but the
average was better in comparison to-
day on account Of the stronger tone

house at the start. but Improvement
was noted later in the session when
