Weekly market Letter.

: CATIl4E-The Cattle market opened the
week nrm and active, and has ruled
steady SO far this week Quite little
butcher stuff has Come in during the week
and the bulk of the steers have been sell
ing at $4.2SQl4,75, and the cows and heifers
at $36OQ425. The steer stuff in has been
generally only fair to good in quality, and
there has been nothing in that could be
ciassed as prince THE top-price cows
ana he1fers haveobeen of very good quail
Ity. We look forward TO a good market
for all kinds of Butcher stuff for the bal
ance or this week and next week, and
think that prices will rule steady to
strong. We would say that really prime
butcher cattle will bring better prices at
South ST. Paul than the quotations show.
There has been "a very good market for
feeders, with the bulk selling at 5000
as Stockers Weighing from 500 to $50
IDS nave been selling readily at prices
steady with last weeks quotations. Steer
calves of good quality have been in good
demand all week and have been selling
at $4.60a6 While the best quality stuff
has had ready sale the common and off
colored kind has been slow and hard to
work off. Heifer calves have been in
splendid demand and have sold quickly
at prices little stronger than were
paid last week. Light feeding bulls have
been selling at steady prices Mixers and
SprlngerS are a little stronger for the
very best quality than they were last
week, while the common and thin kind
are slow.
There have been quite a few outside
buyers on the market this week for all
classes of cattle, while the supply has
been limited and not enough to, fill orders
Today "Wednesday the yards are well
cleared of everything. The lulli in prices
that prevailed the latter part of last
week has been more than made up.
sHOGS-The receipts of hogs thus far
this week have been considerably less
than for the same period last week. The
opening prices on Monday were well up to
Chicago. Since the opening, however,
there has been a gradual decline each day
until today wednesday, the market was
&c lower, with the bulk of sales at $500
S6212, and range on butchers of 1880
365. Pigs and packers are selling steady
at $3.25@335, and rough stays and boars
at 81. 50@2
SHEEP-The receipts of sheep and
lambs have been very light, and buyers
have been obliged to get large part of
their supplies from the feeding pens.
Prices for good fat sheep and lambs are
fully 10@15c higher than last weeks quo
tations, and the demand for prime stuff
is very good. s.
