Keifs on In- lets trade yesterday were as much ss 30c lower tbsn the previous day. I. lsota ware almost unsalable at any , price, and ta the neighborhood o( ' sixty 'tare were carried over. An acuta atockoar Hhurtaga developed yealarday afternoon, ehlppera being unable to get out all o( their , ilay's buy, while Morris ft Co., who since I Inn firs destroyed their bog killing depart ment hers last (all, have been ehlpplng everything to other Mnta to . be killed, aero unable to move any o( thetr purchase, l-aat night and this morning aeveral roada Issued embargoes on ablvmanta o( stock In single decka to the eaat or south, and ae they ware unable to furnish double decke In any numbers, It looked aa though sblp- per buai eaa was slmost cut oft. Up to mldtorenoun todsy the car short, age altuatlon had not been relieved, and ehlppera were only able to buy such hoga aa they were certain of being able to move.

They made no bide until well along In the forenoon, and when their drat offers when finally made were a flat quarter under yeeterday. By 11 o'clock the ice had been broken, packera buying aoma rallied and heavv hog 11030a lower and taking a (ew light) a quarter lower than yeatarday'a early trade. . Up ta noon there had been no notlceeblc change and a good ahare of the offertnge yarded up lo that time had been sold, though lights were as alow aa ever, and where It was possible packers passed them up entirely. The (art that Morris would probably be kept out of the trade alto . aether made the outlook altm for any thing Ilka a clearance, as thin week'e hlg run has loaded all the packera up. Ship pers did little after first rounda. their buy ap to noon being very email. Gen eral market up to that time was no Sic lower.
