HOGS &C LOWER
Market Gives Demonstration
of Strength,

The hog market at the local yards
Friday gave good evidence Of under
lying strength when over 1900
porkers We're offered and only
slight drop of cents was recorded.
Trading was at one price of $10.15
with load or two of medium weight
hogs topping the market at 5000.
Although trading at times was
draggy and prospects of a good
clearance were poor, dealers refused
to trim prices more than a nickel.
Pigs Were 25c lower at Sc to SO. Sows
were steady, smooths moving at
$S.506S.75 while roughs sold at
$6.250S.50. Light light hogs brought
1926 TO s10.15 Stays sold within a
range of Sc to IS. There were 999
holdovers.
Steers started the day approx
mately 15c lower than Thursday,
Good cattle We're scarce. The recog-
nized top for steers was $1,000. Cows
We're steady at $3.50 top and heifers
ruled steady at $3.50 top. Little in

Receipts We're 500

out the market was exceptionally
strong. The bulk Of good calves
brought top price Of s12. Shipping
orders proved the mainstay Of the
trade. Receipts were 500.
With receipts Of sheep and lambs
largest of the year a looked for price
drop failed to take place. Lambs
sold steady at s13 top. Sheep also
were steady at SO 10 6. Trading was
keen and buying power seemed fully
adequate TO absorb receipts of 1000.

CLOSING GRAINS
SHARPLY LOWER
Hedging Sales Cause Wheat
Setback.

By United Press
CHICAGO. Aug. 22.-GraIn fu-
lures closed sharply lower on the
Chicago Board Of Trade Friday.
Buying power was insufficient TO
aaorb hedging sales when heavy
buyers sold out during the close and
wheat suffered a setback. The mar
ket was in a nervous tension through
out.
Corn rallied after midday, but
reacted when wheat turned weak.
Early buyers tried to sell out, but
the market lacked buying support.
Oats sold off with corn. Damage
to crops by excessive rains has been
severe, it was reported.
Provisions finished duh but higher,
especially lard.
