CHICAGO, Oct. 15.-Very few good cattle
were seen among tOday's offerings. There
was a full supply. but II consisted for the
most part of half fattened natives and

were scarce. and in spite of the uninviting
condition Of foreign markets, that sort was
low good there was weakness as was to be
expected, in view of a continued Oversup-
ply. Such grades of natives as must com
pete with range cattle sold baGiy-in fact,
anything that was not good enough TO send
across the water moved slowly. The best
steers are quoted around Sc. Is. but none of
tOday's offerings had the quality TO bring
as much. From 81 TO $3.50 took the bulk of
the steers, and $1.75d2.50 were the prevail
Western rangers were quoted at $1.50d4. 80
for poor 10 choice, though there were few
sales outside of 22GS5O; Only part OF
the 1900 Texans received were on sale.
Trading was basis of SL5G3.50 for
poor 10 extra quality. The tendency in
ripe beeves seems to be TO a higher range
Of prices. but no improvement in common
cattle can be looked for until the flood of
westerns is over.
From to 1Oc was taken off at the outset.
and no part of it was put back, though
obtained. Aside from sale of fancy 300
pound hogs at S5.52ia nothing sold above
$40. and exceedingly few at better than
$3.50. The prices most frequently paid were
S4.90d525 for medium and heavy weights,
81 S5q5l5 for nght-averages of less than
300 lbs The fact that the receipts were
from 1000 to 5000 head larger than a ma
jority Of the trade looked for, was the
cause of the weaker condition of the mar
ket. This weeks receipts are expected 10
exceed 125O00 head, and the feeling today
quite bearish.
Today's market was steady to strong for
choice lambs and about steady for Sneep.
From one-half to two-thrids of today's re-
ceipts of $500 is made up of poor and or
binary stock. for which there is scarcely
any call. Prices would undoubtedly be
lower had not the market already sagged
to such an extent as to render further de-
cline almost impossible. Owing to such an
influx Of sheep at the beginning of the
week, coupled with the heavy receipts of
last week and the week before, the pros
pect for the next five days could not be
worse. Prices range from 75cdS3.25 for poor
70 choice, and from S1.50d45O for lambs.
Most of the sales Of sheep were at Sl150
lambs
