CATTLE-The receipts Of fat cattle at
South st. Paul the past week have been
considerably short of the demand While
there has been a decline Of 10 to Is cents
in Chicago on fat cattle our market here
has declined very little compared to the
decline In the East, and shippers should
take advantage of this market with their
lat cattle. The class of fat cattle on the
market this week has not been very
good, and almost Chicago prices have
been realized. The trade here Is willing
to pay big prices If you bring them good
cattle. Our market is second to none.

cattle, and give US trial.

HOCiS-The receipts of hogs at South
st. Paul the past week were moderate,
and the general quality Of the hogs fair.
Our hog market is within 10 to Is cents Of
Chicago. and the sales the past week have
been very satisfactory to all the shippers.
We desire to- state that the packers are
anxious for more hogs, and it seems to
us from the prices they have paid we
should receive more hogs on this market.
We respectfully advise shippers to clean
the cars thoroughly and bed them with
sand. There has been quite a few dead
hogs the past week through the neglect
of shippers In not cleaning their cars.

mixed hogs, $3.50 and $3.75; light, s3e7la
