UNION sTOCKYARDS.
Business was quite active at the Union
stockyards during the past week, There were
received 1851 cattle. 614 calves, 7,4O4 hogs
and 149 sheep. There were killed by Swift
& Co. $50 cattle. 20 calves. 761 sheep, $3.50
hogs. The demand for hogs is continuous in
that market, and is likely to be so for all
time to come The sources of supply are
enlarging. and the points are very much
better distributed than three months ago.
The packing plant manages to keep. on hand
a sufficient lot and to secure enough in the
market to avoid closing down; but they
could slaughter very many more, and would
be glad of the opportunity to do so. The
cattle supply is by no means UP to the re-
ouirements of the market in numbers, and
good stock. either for slaughtering or for
stocking, is in constantly growing demand
