| CHICAGO, Sept. THE cattle market to-
day was changed in its general features
Good grades ware 10 fair demand, and be-
ing in small supply commanded good
prices. If none of the offerings sold a: as
/ high figure as was paid the day before,
it was because equally good cattle were
not offered. There were not more than 2.O00
natives of all grades, aud only a handful
of that number graded better than
medium. Therefore the average of prices
was low. The range OF quotations was
81 25g6.00. Receipts Of westerns were
estimated at 1000 head, and the range of
prices was Sl.5O@4T5 Texas cattle re-
ceipts were estimated at 5000 head aud
sales on basis of 1858 p.
The hog market continued 10 strengthen
with the lightest Fridays supply recorded
within the last eight weeks, aud shippers
and packers both declined to buy freely.
Sellers had Enthusiastically the best.of the
situation. They asked higher prices and
got them, the days trading being done at
an advance on Yesterdays quotations Cf
10 cents per 100 pounds. Heavy hogs sold
as high as SO % which is 10 cents above the
price paid yesterday and there were sales
OF light weights al SO p Common lights
were not IluCH more Indu slcduE dGU III
cents covers the advance in assorted light
and fair medium weights. 4 The great
strength was in good 10 prime heavy ship
pers, receipts which continues very small.
Sales were reported from 81 50g450 for
young pigs TO So 60 for prime heavy, the
bulk ar Sj900640.
Slowly bus surely the sheep market is
mending. The three buyers who are in
possession seem determined that prices
shall not go up. but IA rise Is inevitable
For months past the receipts have been
markedly less than at the corresponding
time last year. which should have insured
fair prices, but they have continued 10
range from 75 cents to 81 30 per 100 pounds.
In the last month cattle values have ap-
precisted from 60 cents TO 81 p, and hogs
moved up 81 % to 81 80. But sheep are but
slightly apprecIably higher than they
were at that time. What is needed in the
sheep market is little competition. To-
day there was firm market at 81 50@3.5o
and S2@4 for lambs. Receipts-CatUIe a.
