It required one and one-half hours for buyer* and sellers of hoc* at the local yards to arrive at a tradin* basis, a decline of 80 cents after which there was an outlet for the receipts, 13.000, not as large as they have been at this time in the week recently. General receipts throughout the country, however, are much larger, with *64.000 hogs in eleven markets in two days against 289,000 the same time last week, 310.000 a year ago add 231,000 two years ago. Local killers took about 7.000 hogs, the most in one day since the packing house strike began. Klngan took 5,000 hogs for their main plant, the Indianapolis Abattoir 1,000, and Armour 800. which indicates conditions are again practically normaL The outside demand was for only 8.000 hogs, not as large am It has been but the car situation was much bettor, and it now appears there will be adequate facilities for handling the outbound

business.

There was a flat rate for the good hogs averaging around 150 pounds upward, $12.85 against $13.25 the day before. $14.00 a week ago and $16.00 a month ago. The''predominating price was the lowest since October 28, when most of the good hogs sold at $11,75 and since that time the top price ha* been as high as $15.50, on November 8. The decline of the general market was reflected In the sales of pigs, which were rarely higher than $ir i .50, the lowest they have been this year, and also on the sows that sold from $11.50 down. A few small droves of hogs averaging around 240 pounds were reported late

at $12.70.

Prices of Calves Crumble.

In some respects the cattle market, especially for plain to medium steers and cows, seemed to be a “lame duck'* with respect to tjhe demand. Thu* far this week there has not been a serious adverse change in prices but there are not enough orders to absorb current supplies of that kind of stock and a greater accumulation will have a tendency to weaken values. The better grades of cattle of all kinds are still commanding steady prices and as usual at this time of vear there are straggling arrivals of cattle that are considerably better than the general run of their

class.

A feature of the Tuesday market was the sale of a few head of steers that had been fed to attract the holiday trade, and they did. Two of the Shorthorn type ftd and marketed by F. A. Mitchell on his farm near Mooresvllle, weighed 3,39<kpounds,and were sold by Middleaworth, Benson. Coburn & Co., At $20.00 a hundred pounds for a total of $878, or $339 each, the most dollars eve* obtained

CHICAGO, December 9.—Forecasts of a bliszard with consequent uncertrain railroad traffic conditions led to upturns today in the price of corn. At first, however, the market showed! temporary weakness as a result of lower quotations on hogs and on foreign exchange. Commission houses were persistent buyers, both on the decline and on the ensuing advance. Opening prices, which ranged from the same as yesterday's finish to %c lower, with January $1.35 and May $1.32% to $1.32%, were followed by

moderate gains ail around.

Oats duplicated the action of corn.

After opening unchanged to %c lower, Including May at 79Ait to 79%c,

.the market scored a fair advance. Provisions were lower with hogs.

Rallying power was shown, however.
