Whether Tunney viii accept such
a decision IS doubtful. Known as

HOGS DECLINE ON
HEAVY RECEIPTS
Loss QuotabIy rs to 35 Cts,
Truck Offerings Large,

Increased offerings locally and at
most leading primary market centers
caused a downward revision in hog
prices in trading at the local live stock
market today. The decline was gen
orally 25 to 50 cents, with the average
cost dropping perhaps 80 cents in most
instances. The top for heavies was
$765, though most heavyweights sutd
ut S7.55 and $3.50, with some extra
choice mediums bringing $7.55, and
lights, light mixed and most mediums
selling at $3.50, at which figure the
ulk of sales was made. Pigs were
weak to % cents lower at 81 down, as
were sows at $3.50 down. The days
receipts touched 1900. inclusive Of
Mondays unsold numbering 255 Re
ceipts in the truck division largely
accounted for increased offerings, as
trucks were lined up at the sheds
waiting to DO unloaded until after 10
O'Clock. Traders were predicting large
car receipts Wednesday on the theory
that Mondays advance would induce
distant country shipments.
The cattle market opened active,
due TO fairly large receipts of 1900
which included several good loads OF
steers, quite a few good to fancy heir-
ers and the general run of common

trading was at generally steady
prices, only heifers showing any
