CHICAGO. Jan. 19.-The market for cattle was
in bad shape to-day, with much poorer general
demand than usual. The comparatively few
choice offerings We're taken at about former
prices. but other descriptions We're hard to move
and sales were about 10c lower on average.
The greater part of the beef steers crossed the
scales at S43065.10, and the poorest lots were
taken by dressed beef concerns around So. S0G4.
while extra choice beeves were firm at So 356I5 So
The stocker and feeder trade fairly active,
with most of the sales at $3.65di4 So and prime
feeders wanted at s4.S5GA.45. Fat cows and
hefers steady at SS25G4.25. Steers from
Texas were lower and SO were Northern-fed
Texas cattle. Calves were steady.
Trade in hogs started off at slightly higher
prices. After few sales made weak feel
ing set in and prices averaged sc lower than
yesterdays quotations. The extreme range paid
for inferior to prime droves of hogs was $500
377i5 the bulk of the sales being at IS. 60q3. 40,
while pigs went largely at $3.4s4lS.60
Trade in sheep and lambs was fairly active
but the big supply caused a weaker feeling; and
prices for lambs broke about 15q20c per 100 lbs.
Sheep sold at 2.60@450 for inferior to prime
hocks, yearings at s4.40d4 70, and lambs at $40
5.65. Fed Western sheep brought $3.50a45O, and
Western lambs found purchasers at $5@5.50 a
few selling for $3.50. Sheep showed no important
changed in prices.
