Hogs The hog run was just about up
t to vipoctatlons, receipts being estimated at
1-J9 vara, or 19,300 head. This brings the
total tor the two days up to 11,344 head,
which Is smaller than for any almllar pe
riod since the flrat week of January, be
ing 1,700 short of last week and ever 11,000
smaller than two weeks ago, though It Is
almost ' 1,000 heavier thau for the corre
sponding days lusf year.
The market showed one of the sharpest
advances this mor ting that has been - - (
tstered here In many moons, esterda;'
trade looked low lu the final analysis, for, j
with light nuelpts, the local market vas :
over early, while at some other points where
last hogs did nut sell until noon greater ad
vances were noted, the uioss belii the best ,
time.
' So today when U026o upturns were re
ported vlsewbexe sellers simply took the ;
lid off, pricing their holdings 4oo to as
much as -too or more higher. Before open
ing wires from outside markets were re-,
coived shippers; were able to buy some
hugs that were probably no more than 20tf
26c higher. But competition was Wo keen
to allow many hogs to sell this way, and
the first hogs that packers got In any
numbers oost 90o above yesterday. Still
t . advance did not stop, lor values soon
became 1 6c higher, and before :h elose
the market bad reached a flat 4vu higher
basis, while her and there sales showed
even greater upturns than that,
The early rounds were by all odds tut
moat excited yet seen here. Towards tu
close movement became leas active und at
obj time almost stopped and While prices
mt jre as-good as at any time buyers showed
less eagetnees to pay them. TlK general
market waa around 0tf4oo higher. On
paper values looked 4vo higher, but a little
of this uould be credited to Improvement in
the quality. After the market go going It
w-.s only the really plain stuff that sold
under 914.00, Bulk of all the offerli.ga
moved at 111, 96tf 14.16, tops reaching 414.20.
It la hardly necessary to add that all, rew
ords were again broken,
