The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1894-06-16

CHCiGo, June 15-There did not appear
TO be any good reason for change in prices
Of cattle but they were generally quoted
lower. The receipts were light and esti-
ted at 5,OC0 head. ard as all buyers APP
peared to have their orders pretty well
filled they were not willing to talk trade on
q basis of yesterdays prices.
The supply consisted of about $500 ma
lives and :, 500 Texas cattle. Sales of the
former were generally at S4@4.75 for steers
and at seas - for cows and bulls. Texans
sold principally at S2@375 Trade opened
slow and was very dull all day at a decline
In everything except strictly choice steers,
of 10 cents per 100 pounds.
The hog market was lower and quiet.
Hot weather, heavy receipts and drpres-
sion in the board of trade markets caused
n. bearish feeling and before business had
been in progress an hour prices were off
b@10 cents. They closed 10 cents lower
than at yesterdays lowest time, 81 90 be-
Ing an outside quotation any time after Q
O'Clock. Shippers wanted butfew hogs and
local packers bought in listless way, but
there were not many unsold hogs in the
pens at midday. Sales were largely at
81. 75d4 90 for medium and heavy and at
81 656t4. IS for light weights.
Only a lew times in the past have sellers
f sheep encountered a more distressingly
wa7 the Jne for the week ending with to-
nay. There has been an average sbrinkaWe
Eince our last report of % cents per hundred
In everything wearing wool. Sheep are
down TO IS cents TO IS 90 for poor TO best
goods, while yearlings are off to S3(G4 and
young lambs to 81 50G4.50. This Is a re-
1uction from the highest prices of the
season of 81 50(I2 aud n reduction from the
prices ruling at this time last year of 81. So
a.. % per cwt. The bulk of the sheep have
WITHIN he last week changed hands at
K 25G3 and from SS.15942j bought the
greater part of tie spring lambs. Never
Before since Chicago became "A market
,ould fat spring lambs be bought so cheap
at this stage OF the season. The offerings
If Texas sheep were not very numerous
Thew were taken on basis of SlidS for
poor to choice.
