These quotations are in accordance with
the. different kinds of cattle sold here this
week.
Shippers should bear in mind that they
must buy the off-colored cattle, regard
less of weights, to sell low, as the range
is very wide between the good and poor
ones.
HOGS-The receipts in Chicago Thurs
day were $500; market sc lower.
Receipts here Thursday 1000; market
steady, bulk of the hogs selling $370@3. Is
and not very good quality shown.
Owing to the fact of there being two
outside buyers on the market the past two
days, all classes of hogs have sold high,
as the demand exceeded the supply. We
do not look for any great change in prices
in the near future.
SHEEP-Thei receipts have been very
light this week, packers depending on the
feeders here for their supply. Prices
