The total for the week so far Of 79,t94 head is more than 31,000 short of a week ago. but 17,000 larger (han two weeks ago and a gala, of u.ooo over tne wun period last year. Shippers took the lead early today, mak ing a pretty good buy and paying prices that were strong to as much as a nickel higher. They showed a preference for the good butcher weights and choice lights, taking a good many of the latter class.

Sellers, however, could see no good reasons for making conces sions, but believed that If anything the market ought to be stronger, as supplies were rather moderate compared with most of the runs during the last ten days. Ship pers were buying rather freely and prices lately have been, if anything, a little, low compared with other markets on account of the heavy runs here. By mldforenoon some of the buyers had raised their hands a tittle and movement started on a steady to 6c higher basis, though, as was the case yesterday, part of the packera wero back ward about getting In and before long It settled down to about a steady market for desirable holes. Before anything like a clearance had been made the demand seemed to go to pieces altogether. Bellera found bids with drawn and the next offers they got showed sharp reductions, buyers wanting the de mand for good hogs as much as 16c below early. A little stuff was selling that way, but most sellers who bad decent hogs left had refused to cut loose at such great declines. On common mixed and underweight hogs It was the same old story. A few sold early at satisfactory prices, but b,uyra left most of them for the close, when they were wanted only at big reductions or not at all. ;s . - . . Representative sales: No. Av. Sh. Pr.

Leading- Industrials, In cluding United States steel, yielded 1 to 2 points similar tendencies being manifested by most of the equipments and munitions with a 10-polnt break In Bethlehem Steel (old stock), on a single transaction. Motors, metals and utilities made extreme recessions of 1 to S points, gas shares once more showing conspicuous weakness with other Issues of leas definite strength. Intermittent strength in sugars, fertiilxers. continentals and American Cann, lyiose- Wlles Biscuit and Acme Steel, whichregis tered irregular gains, seeminglv on support from pools and cliques, faileer to attract more than passing attention. Federal Min ing and Smelting preferred rose 6 points on declaration of an increased dividend, but in most other Instances specific causes were al together lacking. r ' Such firmness as was shown by rails at the outset was nullified later by fresh selling of New Haven, which fell to 871.8, the low est'level4yet recorded. Canadian Pacific, Le high valley and a few other stocks or the highest class were subject to furtber mod erate pressure. Indications of another International loan, probably tn the form of commercial credits to French banking Interests, were furnished by the visit of -a leading financier to Wash ington. An additional 17,000,000 in gold wae received from Canada, and the weekly statement of the Bank of England showed an appreciable recovery in reserve liabilities.
