season, according to the War Food

$9.00-1250 at Montgomery, and
$9.00-1200 at Nashville.
Hogs experienced better clear
ance than at any time since move
ment became heavy last fall. Re-
ceipts were down for the week but
continued to run we'll above year
ago. Prices took an upward turn
toward the close and tops on hard
hogs were: Nashville and Rich
mond $13.85, Carolina buying sta
tons $13.25-1365. Soft hogs hac
