Sheep and Lambs Stay
Same.

Prices were 10 to 10 cents higher
at the opening of the local hog
market today. Early trading was
slow, a few sales made to shippers,
while local packers were inactive.
Some bids were around steady, with
the expectation that transactions
later in the day would see a slipping
off from the early advance.
The strength of the Chicago pork
market was better established, prices
there being fully % cents higher.
This, however. did not bring the top
up to the level of the best prices at
the Indianapolis stockyards. The

@12.25, nothing going above the lat

NEW YORK April 4-Long experience
has taught me that a very strong or weak
technical position is the best guide possible
to the markets destination. L stand
squarely on the position that an advance
in cotton is highly improbable at the pres
ent time and a further decline in prices
will occur before we should seriously con-
slider the probable price trend of the next
crop.
