HOGS nccsipis or nogs tne nret rour day* this week total approximately 68.200 head, ae compared with an actual supply of 61, 890 last week, and 49,744 the same period one year ago. A good healthy undertone to the local market haa prevailed throughout the aeven-day period under review, and prices in the main are on a higher basis. The 25c boost to prices obtained at the close of last week and at the opening of this week was somewhat wiped out today when bulk of the day’s transac tions figured In a 10c to 15c lower market, leaving an advance for the week of around 6c to 16c on most hogs. Shipping demand has been a minor factor In the trade, while the packer outlet has dis played considerble breadth. Weighty butchers are bringing a slight premium over ths medium and light grades, end with the general rug of hogs coming of better qualifv and fin ish the price spread In the bulk of sales Is narrowing as a result. Today's trade opened with early sales mostly to shippers 6<j to 10c lower. Bulk of transactions to packers around 10c to llo lower; bulk of ail sales range from $6.40 to $6.70. early top, $6.80, late top, $6.70. early ton. $6.80, late top. $6.70.

Sharp fluctuations hsvo featured the lamb trade this week. In some cases ad vances and declines about offsetting, but generally wooled lambs show an advance of 10 to 16c, with spots 25c higher. Good and choice light and handywelght wool ed lambs have been In active demand from both shippers and packers, while fed clipped lamb* have been more or less neglected and have met with a slow sale with a lower trend of prices, today s values ruling mostly 10c to 15o lower than * LUM and handwelght awes continue In good demand with prices showing an up ward tendency, today’s prices ruling around 25c higher than a week ago Movement of desirable weight wooled lambs today to lot al packers was largely at 112 25 to 112.40.

Kansas Wheat—Hessian fly probably never before as widespread in distribution or more numerous In autumn than this year, says tlfr report of Kdward C. Pax ton. statistician for Kansas of the United States Department of Agriculture. It is present in the flaxseed stage in practical ly ev» ry county in the state and in alarm ing numbers In all except southwest coun ties. It did much damage in retarding full growth before the period of dormancy and offers very serious menace for next spring* Fields of early seeding In north central and northwest counties reveal as many as five and six flies In flaxseed stage to the single stool. Rroomhall Liverpool cable says: Wheat dull with a holiday feeling prevailing. Spot situation still quiet, with trade very slow. The trade In corn Is not very active, but the ton^ remains etendy to firm. Spot corn has been dull, with the tone a trifle easier. Ruenos Aires—Weather fine.

Chicago, Pec. 22.—Wheat anid down tc the lowest levels since August early to day End then staged a rally which car ried the market back to the* previous closing prices. Liquidation was less in evidence. also northwest hedging, and shorts developed & disposition to even up for over the week end. Mews counted for nothing. Wheat closed unchanged to 96c lower, corn was 96c lower to 9sc higher, oata were 9*c higher to Uc lower, and rje ruled higher to lower. Eastern buying was noted around J1 06 for the May. The pit had the idea that a prominent operator was buying wheat for a turn. Sennment generally in the grain trade has become uniformly bear ish the last few days. It is on such oc casions *hat a recovery takes place when opinions on the market get one-sided. December corn looked like it was ready for a fade out. Stop loss) selling carried it down to a 3tyo discount under the May. compared with a 3c premium a few months back. The bulls, who had been expecting December corn to repeat the performance of September and July corn before It. are apparently converted. Oats manifested a firm undertone, but the close was Irregular. Cash houses took December and sold May at 3^c differ ence. Trade In rye was alow. The better ex port demand for this grain falls to stir much Interest. Some giveups In the pit disclosed continuous export sales. Pit Notes. Trade Ideas on wheat are greatly mixed. Few doubt that the world’s situation is bearish, and a!**o that the wheat situation in the United States, compared with other surplus countries, is relatively firm. Wheat being a world commodity. It would seem, must bow to world conditions Powerful Interests have been stabilizing the market for several months, with fair success. The object of this, as the trade sees It, Is to keep prices on as close a plane as possible which represents i he general prosperity now- existing in this country. Many claim that the big buyers in the ea%t are taking bold because of political Ideas. The winter wheat crop has been cut 12.6 per cent, compared with last vear. and the chances are that the spring wheat crop will be reduced more than that pro portionately. Reports today had it that Missouri wheat would be cut 25 per cent, that many farmers In the southern part of the state are planting cotton instead of wheat. The milling trade in this country la seasonably dull, but after the turn of the year more activity la expected. A promi nent local miller said recently that visible supply stocks would probably be resorted to by mills early in 1924. CHICAGO MARKETS. By Updike Grain Co AT. 6313. nee. 22. Art- I Open. I High.
