Heavy hogs were again lower, as were the medium weights not showing quality. Ruyers have been looking at the quality of the hogs for some days and un less the hogs are good they are indifferent. Oood shipping weights were In fair de mand and were picked up first, but unless the stuff was whst the packers wanted general trade was slow and dull, as noted sbove.

As hss been the case for some time tha big end of the receipts consisted of killers and the feeder supply was light and away below the requirements of the trade. Although fat sheen have constituted the big end of the offerings for some time past, there have been hardly enough to fill the demand. The market today was satisfactory In every resnec-. There was a good call for sheep of all kinds and after trsrllnv commenced there was considerable activity displayed Prices on both fat sheep and lambs were fully steady as were also the feeders. The onlv cause for comnlalnt that ope rators on the market have Is the short age In the supply of feeder sheep and lamns. As the prospects for a large corn cron tmnrove farmers are more anx ious than ever to secure a few feeders so that the orders In the hands of com mission men to Imv are far in recess OT the sunnlv of that kind of stock. The market is hndlv In need nf at least twenty five cars of feeders dally for some time to rntti.
