HOG PRICES LOWER
At CENTER MARKET
Prices Lower Because of
Heavy Arrivals in West.
Poultry Cheaper.


Owing to the fact that the run of
hogs in the West is larger than had
been anticipated. it is reported, the
market is easier and lower prices pre-
vail. Hogs were quoted at from Ii to
IS today.
While many hogs are being killed in
the nearby country, il is stated that
most raisers are sending their stock
TO stockyards, finding 1t easier and
more profitable than doing their own
butchering.
There is a fairly good demand for
pork and pork products, a usual con-
dition following Christmas holidays,
and the supply is great enough to
prevent a possible shortage the next
Few months.
Turkeys and other varieties of poul-
try are in fairly good supply. and
decreased prices have Increased de-
fnand for the weekend trade.
