Reach 18.500

Drop Only-25¢-50¢--Despite Heavy Run A record 18,500 hogs poured | into the Indianapolis Stockyards] today after the three-day Memo-| rial holiday. It was the highest! receipt of the year. Despite heavy receipts hogs] dropped mostly 25 to 50 cents un-| der last Friday's price average: + Extreme top for hogs was set at $25 sparingly. A week ago, stock experts say, similar heavy hog runs would have caused a| $2 drop. i Continued Demand Seen Today's market strength was] | partly due to light receipts Friday | {when the market closed and also to the three-day holiday when no | hogs- were received. i In addition, farmers were fairly sure of an active market demand since the recent packers’ strike! caused a meat shortage which packinghouses have not yet bee: able to meet. Hogs opened . here moderately | active on light and medium weight | hogs although very unevenly at} 25 to 75 cents lower. Early sales on good and choice, | mostly 180 to 240 pounds, were about $23.75 to $24.50. “An early top was set at $25 sparingly. | . Little business was done in| heavier weights. There were a few bids. on 250 to 290 pounds with most going at about $21 to $23.50. | The sow market was not fully established, but indications were around 50 cents lower with most sales at $18.50 to $18. | Receipts were hogs, 18,500; cattle, 2475; calves, 950; sheep, 225.
