Oct. 6.-In cattle the esti-
mated receipts for to-day were 1000, max
ing $3.50 for this week, against 81 500 for
last week and 64,O36 a year ago. The mar
ket was without special features. There
was the usual last day of the week quiet
and the usual nominal conditions as re-
enough TO absorb the moderate supply OF
stock in the yards, and prices were about
steady at S1d6.20 for natives, S.50Q4.50 for
Westerns and $l.25G3.25 for Texans.
Receipts OF hogs were estimate at TO-
0O0, making rs ,916 for this week, or about
$4,000 more than for last week and 10000
more than for the corresponding week last
year. Tn situation was unimproved.
There was not competition enough TO sus-
tain even the low prices established yester-
day. Shippers appeared to have very few
orders and the packing contingent did not
want to pay within 5q10c of Fridays quo
tations. There were scattering sales to
the entire supply sold under s5.25. That
figure bought good heavy hogs; indeed,
very decent It stuff sold at S; !, Tie seo eulb of
rough mixed sold as low as Si.50Q4.6O.
Sheep-Receipts for to-day were esti-
general consider it about the correct fig
ures. Notwithstanding to-day's liberal re-
ceipts the market is in somewhat better
shape. Choice lambs sold a little higher,
and choice Westerns brought from 5d10c
more than they did yesterday. Quotations
ran from $50 to s525 for lambs.
