HOGS Under tha Influence of a good
local demand the market this morning
started out a little higher and several loads
sold strong to 5c highor. After tha 0:st
round, however, trading was nut aa b. Uk
and tha bulk of the hoga only sold a shade
higher. The bulk of all the hogs went
from M 46 to 34 50. Heavy hogs rri largely
at 44.47S and M.54 with a top at 44 55. Mixed
hogs sold largely at 24 45 and !4.4S with the
light stuff from 24 40 dewn. The lighter the
hoga the leas they bring and the harder
they are to sett, commission men are ad-
vising their shippers to look out tor the
fiigs as It only tskes a few In a load to
njure the sale of It to marked degree.
Although trading waa not active toward
the clone of the market still a good clear
