Hogs Hog , supplies were the smallest
that have been here on a Thursday since
early In February. Arrivals counted out
eighty-four cars or about 6.300 head, which
brings the total for the week to date up
to 85,737 head. This Is 26,000 short of last
week, but 6,000 Inrger than two weeks
ago, and about 4,000 heavier than the same
days last year.
The Influenoe of tho placing of big con
tracts for supplies by the government wsa
felt In the hog trade this morning when
prices took a phenomensl Jump to new high
levels. Shippers dominated the trade com
pletely. They bad enough orders to clean
up all the small offerings and they came
pretty near doing It. On opening rounds
some hogs sokl at prices that were no more
than 1602.ia higher, but keen competition
forced buyers to raise their bids rapidly,
snd they paid figures thst were 36030c
to In extreme cases 49o higher for ths early
arrivals.
Tho close was by far the best time
of the day. A couple of trains carrying
ten or a doien cars did not get In until
everything else was sold, and as shippers
still had a good msny orders, while peckers
wer fighting herd to - get a few loads,
the result was that the late arrivals sold
350450 to In some Instances half a dollar
higher than yesterday. Fully two-thirds of
the offerings went to shippers.
The general market wa 2604Oo higher
than yesterday, which means thst todsy's
prices are that much better than ever
before on this market. Bulk of the offer
ings sold at I16.1O01S.8S. The early top
was 116.40, but on the strong close several
loads reached 916.46, As has been the case

Sheep Receipts of sheep and Iambs were
only ten cars, or 3,440 head, it being th
smalleat run that has been here on a
Thursday , since May last year. Total for
the week so far is also the tighten! in
months, amounting to only 24,466 head.
compared with 48,739 last week. 38,122 two
weeks ago and 22,307 a year ago.
Offerings today were really not large
enough to make much of a market, but
such as wers here were cleaned up In good
season at prices that were fully steady and
looked, If anything, higher In spots. The
fact of the matter Is that In the last two
days most of the offerings have regained
any decline they showed Tuesday, though
conditions havo been such that the gains
did not show up very plainly. No light
lamb wer here today and It Is a foregone
conclusion that, with local prices so high
compared to other markets, they cannot be
quoted above $14.86, but Mexicans and
western weighing up to ninety pounds have
sold as high ss 114.76 the last two days,
which means that for the kinds of stuff
that are coming price are fully as high
now as they were on last week's cloae.
The few old sheep that were here brought
about steady prices. Weatern ewea sold at
112.10, and handy wethers were bought at
112 63.

NEW YORK STOCKS
Liquidation and Short Selling
Continue With Increased
Vigor.
RAILS SHOW HEAVINESS
New York. April 6. Liquidation and short
sllln. continued with Increased vigor and
breadth In tho Block market today In the
further absence of public support. Hcavlne.s
of investment ran. was . striking feature,
giving rise to reports of a recurrence of for
sign offerings.
Greater weakness prevailed among the
prominent Industrials, including munitions
and equipments, where the problems likely
to arise from war taxes occasioned much
discussion. Adoption by the senate of the
war resolution and reduction of the British
bank rate, favorable factors, according to
the general point of view, exerted little or
no influence on the market.
The inherent strength of the market for
Investment securities was dominated by the
many bids at high prices for the New York
state 4 per cent bond Issues, which was
awarded to 'a powerful banking syndicate.
It was assumed that these bonds have addl.
tlonal value from tho fact that, unlike forth
coming federal Issues, they are exempt from
taxation.
A considerable part of today's selling was
sscrlbed to traders who were loath to hold
their outstanding contracts over the holiday.
This waa balanced, however, by the heavy
volume of short offerings which centered
arnund the .most volatile Issues. United
State. Steel held Its accustomed place ss
leader, furnishing from 20 to 26 per cent of
the totsl turnover and makln. a net loss
of 2 points at US. Bethlehem Steels were
4 to 5 point, lower, with 2 to 4 for others of
that group. Ail the active metals, oils. leath
ers, papera and utilities were 2 to 3 points
tower, witn 6 lor unto tiaa at 132H.
Coalers were most freely offered of the
rails, Reading, Norfolk & Western, Lehigh
Valley and the Erlea being among the heav
iest Issues, faoinos'.nd grangers also for.
felted from S to 2 points with minor western
and southern Issues. Pinal prloe were only
nominally above lowest levels.
Total sales, .20,000 sharea.
Bonds were Irregular, but mainly lower,
the International division, however, record
ing no materisl alteration. Total aales, par
value, 14,(00.000.
United States bonds were unchanred on
