The one sale of hogs In the yards last

itself but the strength Jias been double!
since that time. While eastern hogs are
being utilised almost - altogether by
packers for their hams, bacon and lard,
the local stock finds Us place for block
Today's run ot hogs was but 60 head
and these were not weighed up in time
to give the sale price la today' Journal.
Arrivals compare with none yesterday,

broadly the run of . local hogs in the
Portland yarda during recent days and
