LIVESTOCK Markets
CHICAGO

| Chicago, Nov. 15-Cattl-There was a
! glutted market today. and prices were
| lower from the opening to the close. the
decline being from 20 Is cents per 100
| lost. and even the best beeves were lower,
| though the heaviest decline was in the
more undesirable offerings. Sales OF ma
| tive beef cattle were largely at $i.i0d4 80.
| the commonest lots of fed westerns and
FED Texans selling around S3.6od40o while
! the best lots of shipping native beeves were
salable at S5-9eIi6.25. Exporters were fair
buyers OF choice fat cattle. The stocker
and feeder trade was fairly good, prices
ruling weak for light weight stoCkeTs, but
steady for choice feeders. Butchers and
Gamers stuff sold off about 10 cents, and
so did range cattle.
Hogs-The supply OF good hogs was large
ly at an early hour, but buyers managed
10 secure their supplies al reductions of
sale cents. Sales were largely at $3.50
$50, heavy packing lots selling al sac
$40. and choice 10 prime shipping drovss
at $S50GS55. Pigs sold largely at So -Z59
$50 The late market was fairly animated
at the decline, but had many common and
medium lots left in the pens.
Sheep-TTade in sheep was lively at the
recent advance. Native sheep were yont-
ed at s. SOa4.75 and sheep from the west
ern ranges at s. 9efi4 50. Fed westerns sold
around s. S5G4.75 and extra native sheep
brought S4.SdS0o. such lots beng scarce
Lambs were IN excellent demand at So1G
$50 for common to extra grades, with nu-
merous sales at S. and over. Both sheep
and lambs ara now selling at the highest
prices Of the season.
Receipts-Cattle. 5000; hogs. 900; sheep

seem to have almost too much company.
There is, however. but little hope for any
material rally. but rally of a cent or two
may be sprung upon this kind of market
at any time. The weather Is proving all
that could be desired for the growing
wheat and the plant fs now prepared to
stand good deal Of punishment during
the winter over large portion Of the west
ern wheat
Corn did not sympathize with the
strength in wheat today and ruled easy.
Though not excessively weak, the demand
Tor cash corn is not quite as strong as ex-
pected.
The natural course Of both corn and
wheat would seem to be downward, but We
have been confronted with the reverse to
the natural and logical expectations so oft
en-, and so much so has this been the case.
that it is the part of nature TO take the
contary side.
Provisions were again very weak and we
can only repeat what We have said for
some days, that there is but little hope
for Improvement in price. and yet the
price is gradually getting lower so that IL
may be all right to buy pork on the weak
places and be satisfied with small profits.
Later on We expect to see considerable
activity in provisions.
