CHICAGO Jan 20-The cold weather to-day
cut down the receipts of cattle and it also made
trade brisk as both buyers and sellers We're
anxious to come to terms and get in out of the
cold. There was more or less weakness in the
commoner droves, which comprised large share
of the offerings, but all desirable lots sold at
firm prices. Sales were on a basis of $S.9oq45 80
for common native dressed beef steers up to
$56GG620 for rather choice to strictly prime ship
ping cattle, with the bulk of sales at ASOGI5 90.
The Unexpectedly light receipts of hogs caused
the lively scramble on the part of the buyers
and the lively competition sent prices up full
