CATTLE-The receipts of cattle this
week were a little larger than a week
ago, and especially so on stockers and
feeders. The supply of good butcher cat
tie, however has been light and the de-
mand continues very good and strong for
the best cattle. The market on half fat
grass cattle is a little lower than last
week. We look for a good strong mar
ket on butcher cattle the coming week.
The market on stOckers and feeders has
been rather dragging and not many buy
ers here owing to the fact that most
everyone is busy with their crops. We
look for quiet market the coming week
on stOckers and feeders and especially
so on the common ones, which are very
slow sale. We would advise shippers to
hold their stockers and feeders until after
harvest, except where they have real
choice cattle.

steers. $475 to $5.25; fair to good $4.20 to

HOGS-The receipts Of hogs at South
st. Paul for this month are almost 5000
more than for the same month last year.
The quality of the hogs has been quite
good until the past week, not many choice
light grades coming, while these are in
strong demand. There is wide spread
in price between the fair grades of heavy
hogs and choice light hogs. The mar
ket today Friday) with a moderate sup
ply, was about steady, taking into con-
sideration the quality of the hogs, which
was not very good.

hogs, $3.50 to $425; good to choice light
hogs, 1870 to $4.45; good to choice heavy
hogs, $4-2O to $4.30; good to choice mixed
hogs, $4.2O to $4.35; boars and stays, $3.50
to $3.50.
SHEEP-The receipts of sheep this week
have been fairly liberal, but the supply
has consisted mostly of only fair and half
fat stock. Very few choice muttons or
lambs on sale.
