Hogs T os terday' s receipt were 4ST ears,
or 21,077 bead, while today's beat It 'by
2,000 bead.
Tha trade got off to a good deal slower
tart than It did yesterday. Shippers or
ders called for lower prices and order buy
era did little on early rounds. Packers
also wanted hogs lower, the majority of
their early offers being 6l0o lower than
yesterday, and aa sellers were asklag prloes
that were, If anything, stronger, no busi
ness of consequence wna transacted uoill
well along In the 1 enoon.
When movement finally started It was
at prices that were steady to not over 6i
tower than yesterday. After the les had
been broken trading became fairly active,
and by noon the big end of the supply had
changed hands on the baala named. Lights,
which have been selling well up In the bulk
since the storm last week made receipts
ao email for a few daya, were aa usual when
a' reaction from a sharp advance acta in,
extremely uneven, Packers bought lome
underweights and light mixed stuff In strings
st prices that were comparatively as good
aa they were paying for more desirable
(lasses, hut many of the lighter hoga were
unable to attract attention and at midday
quite a sprinkling of them were still In first
hands, some sellers reporting they had
been nnaole to even get oners.
Up to noon .the market was no more
than steady to 6e lower. Of course under
weights had not sold very freely, and with
Chicago oloaing lower and something like
100 cars still back, there was a strong
probability that close would be the day'
low time. Bulk of the salos made landed
at $11.66 911-60, with scattering loads of the
least desirable kinds down towards $11.69
and under. Beat heavies again made $12.00,
which pries baa been paid every day this
week.

8 heep Yesterday's close was one of the
stickiest deals seen here In many moons.
After 11 o'clock nothing much was done
until the middle of the afternoon, ' when
a few loads sold at prices that were fully
26o to as much as 16c below morning prices.
A good class of Mexicans, as good as any
lambs bare, sold at $14.16, while $14.00
stopped some pretty desirable westerns, snd
weightier lambs sold "under the hill." Even
at these d eel I nee sellers were unable to dis
pose of something like twenty loads and
had to carry them over for today.
The shortage In regrlferator cars had
evidently Dot been relieved appreciably (his
morning, for packers refused to even make
bids until mid forenoon, and when they did
start making offers It was at figures that
were anywsy 36e below yesterday's mean
close, er 60O60e lower than yesterday morn
ing, wanting beat lambs below $14.00.
Towards noon some of the) light and
handywelght lambs were cashed at prices
that ere 16 0 36o bslow the low close yes
terday, or 40o to. In most cases, nearly
hslf a dollar below yesterday morning's
trade. The movement was draggy and pack
ers were picking their stuff, leaving strong
weight lambs, which were In good supply
pretty severely alone. Sales made up to
noon Included Blextcans at $14.40, whlctt
promised to be the day's top, and good
handywelght westerns at $11.76013 ft
while a few heavy lambs bad been bouaht
at $13.68. -sen.
Bucb sheep as were sold lata yesterday
looked steady with the previous day, but
some had to be carried over. Today lower
prices were In order, a moderate supply
moving slowly at 162o reductions. While
no ewes of the sort that brought the record
Price of $19.86 yesterday morning were here.

Omaha Futures Market,
The market today displayed a very mixed
sentiment during the early trading hours.
but the bears took control during the later
part and forced a sharp break in wheat,
which was followed by a small decline In
corn and a very slight drop In oat. There
. however, very little news on wheat
that might be termed bearish and while
his country faces the proposition of sup
plying enormous iiuanlJtles of wheat to for
eigners, the present political situation hai
rested a bearish sentiment and todays de
cline In wheat was the result of heavy sell
ing by short and profit taking by long.
The corn market lollowed the decline in
wheat, but the crop report on thla article,
received from Argentloa, are very unfav
orable and many of the traders regard the
Argentine situation a a very bulllah fac
tor In the making of rorn prloes.
Oats held steady during the session, bat
there was very little interest displayed In
this market and the trade was very light.

New Tork, Feb. 7. The conflicting and

the International situation.
Shares of the numerous companies which
