For the first time in 1923 the bulk of the hogs in any one day’s market sold below $7, establishing anew low level for the cur rent downswing and the year. The decline has been gradual for several days, but the day’s break of !5c to 26c was the most abrupt in more than a week. Despite the presence of such large numbers on the market, shippeis were unusually active and were ex pected by some observers to take 19 - 000 hogs, leaving about an wqual amount for local killers who were inter in entering the market. The top for choice heavyweights was established at $7,25 as compared with $7.50 on Monday, while the bottom for lights was $0.75, as compared with $6 90 on previous trading. Medium and mixed hogs sold between $6.90 land $7.10, while the bulk of sales was registered between $6.75 and $7. The sales that were 15c to 20c lower were outnumbered by those a full quarter lower. Sows and pigs reflected the break, both selling down from $6.25, though generally from $6. The price of $0.76 is not to be regarded as the lowest of the year, as a few' hogs sold at the price in Juno, but the proportionate number that sold under $7 was far greater than on the June decline. Trading in the cattle market was dull, with prices tending to decline, due to the fact that one of the largest local buyers obtained his supplies at another market Monday. This outside buying was attributed to lower prevailing prices at the other marketing centers. Receipts, 1,000.

R. 3. writes to The Times that a waterfowl identical to the one which fluttered down several days ago in the chicken yard of Mrs. John J. Keating, 4926 Carrollton Ave. got into a fracas with Tier English Terrier on the same day the Keating’s adopted pet arrived here.
