HOGS CLOSED FLAT

CHICAGO, Sept. 25-There was a steadier
tone TO the cattle market today aud that
was all, sellers falling 10 recover any part
Of yesterdays Father severe declines. For
Tuesday, the run was unusually large
AMI the arrivals for yesterday ana today
make total li,000 greater than for the
same time last week, but for the remain
der OF this week moderate receipts are ex-
rected and the effect was steadying. The
offerings did not include anything nearly
~ good as the cattle sold Yesterday at
S645. indeed very few iots We're good
enough TO sell for as much AS
So 90, the prevailing prices being
So 15 TOR westerns. The latter constituted
about one-balf of the supply. OF Texas
cattle only few loads were received. not
enough to make market. The demand
for stockerS and feeders keeps ahead of the
supply and those descriptions continue to
command good prices. Quotations range
from 81. TO Sc 40 for natives, 81 .5004 40
for westerns and 81 50@ IS Is for Texans.
The hog market pursued the usual
course, opening strong with slight up
ward tendency and closing fiat at barely
the previous DAYS prices. Although the
receipts were mere handful, Il. 900 head,
and the number left over from Monday,
barely j, 900. there Were too many for the
demand. Sales were at s.. 25@S6 20 for
common to extra with the bIk at
50. i0Q 1885. Since Saturday the arrivals
have only been 20 coo head which is 1000
less than for the same time last week, but
prices have made very little gain. Packers
are bearing the market aud shippers are
not at all bullish. Some hogs were left IN
sold and the late market WAS quite heavy.
For sheep The prices continued weak.
They were about III cents lower than yes
terday aud 25Cd35 lower than at the close of
last week. Lambs show corresponding
decline, the best being quoted off TO 81 90
Sales of sheep were largely at 81. 75Cd2 10,
aud s3.00@3 80 bought most of the lambs.
The prevailing low prices stimulated the
demand for feeders, but the demand from
that source did not cut much Of n figure in
shaping prices.
