UNION STOcKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS, Dee
2s-Cattle-Receipts small: shipments none
There was a very moderate supply OF cattle and
there was no Improvement in the quality over
the average at this time in the veek. There
was a steady demand from local killers and the
offerings soon changed hands at steady prices
compared with yesterday. Sales included heifers
at s3g36 GO and cows at s2Q4. The receipts this
week do not show much change compared with
last week or the corresponding week year ago.
and thus far this year there is an increase OF
nearly aeoo the same period last year. In
keeping with light receipts here and elsewhere
there was a very strong feeling in the market at
the beginning Of the week and prices Were
quotably 15Q25c higher; later, however. the sup
plies We're surprisingly large and there was the
the week to the close OF the week the best steer
cattle sold usually steady prices compared
with those current at the close OF last week. and
in fact there a little steadier tendency at
the extreme close OF the week. Less desirable
steers were, as usual in slow request and rather
difficult to sell at barely steady prices The mar
ket for female cattle did not vary much. but
cow stuff continued hard to sell. ard III some in
stances sales considered lower. but these
were exceptions Tie week closed in fairly
satisfactory condition and the pens well
cleared. Quotations:

Hogs-Receipts. $500; shipments. 1.50O. The
receipts of hogs Were comparatively small for
this time In the week and the quality was un-
changed. The market opened with rather an
active demand from all buyers and especially
from shippers for light hogs and that class were
taken promptly at 2l=G5c higher prices than yes
terday. There less competition for the heav-
Ter grades, and sales did not show any quotable
Improvement in prices. The bulk OF the hogs
sold at siS7isG4so. against s4s5G4.s7h yester-
day. The receipts this week show a decrease of
1900, compared with last week and a slight
change compared with the same week year ago.
Thus far this year there is a decrease Of over
Pa 900 compared with the same period last year
During the week ending yesterday three local
packers bought total of IL 654 and the shipments
for the same period We're 6924 The market for
the week opened strong TO higher. and on
Wednesday the sales were about l0c above the
close OF last week. Later. however, there was a
reaction in prices and On Friday there was not
much change compared with last Saturday. At
the extreme close of the week light hogs rallied
some and closed nearly 2,1c higher than the
close OF last week, while good heavy hogs were
about 2I2c lower than the same time. The quail
ity Of the hogs this week has been very good
