WEEKLY LIVE STOCK REVIEW.
(Concluded from page [107].)
were considerably heavier. Chicago quality was the best for several weeks, a generous proportion of the supply consisting of good light and medium weight butchers. This, coupled with the narrowest shipping outlet for hogs in weeks, attributed to an extent to unsettled railway labor conditions, was partially responsible for sharp declines, especially on the better grades. Closing prices Were 40¢–55¢ under those of the week previous on bulk of good lights and butchers and 25¢–50¢ lower on mixed and packing grades. A slight reaction was noticed toward the week end, with small advances scored on some of the in-between butchers and better packing grades.
