There has been a light run of cattle dur
ing the week; that is to say. according to
expectations, 1t is needless TO say that the
supply Of butcher stuff and good stockers
and feeders has not by any means been
equal to the demand. The market for cat
tie has been active and strong throughout
the week and accompanied by an advance
ment in prices all cattle of good quality
although as heretofore rough and common
stock of of colors is difficult TO sell There
were some consignments Of good Western and
Canadian calves and stockers. and they sold
at good advance over the previous week
The receipts Of hogs during the first three
days of the week were quite liberal but
prices were controlled by quotations from
Chicago. and these in the direction of
decline OF about 15c. During the closing
days of the week, however there was an
advance Of about sc. but it did not attain
TO very great degree of dignity because the
quality Of the stun offered was hardly I'D
to the requisite lines.
So far as sheep and lambs were concerned
there was good run and although the de-
cline in Chicago this stock was very
marked. own market did not show any
great response. The sum and substance of
the review OF the dealings in sheep and
lambs is TO the effect that they sold at South
St Paul at practically the equivalent of Chi
cago.
An instance OF the desirability OF South
St. Paul as a market for stockers and feed
ers was a shipment of 700-pound heifers last
week by D. Balcouski, Of Western stun from
Manitoba, offered here S. % 81 head, refused
by the shipper. The same lot. 81 head. sold
IN chicago the following day for $3.50.
