light; shipments, none. The supply for the
week has been fairly liberal. showing a
handsome increase over last week. The
quality has been fairly good consisting of
all grades, including a few cars of good
export steers, which sold at very satisfac-

of the market in general. The demand has
been good for all kinds, but prices have
ruled sharply lower from day to day. show

UNION STOCK YARDS, INDIANAPO-
LIS, Jan. Observation-Disclosures, small; ship
ments, small. There was the usual small
Saturday receipts of cattle to-day and the
market was naturally little quiet, but
sales were generally at steady prices COM
pared with yesterday. This weeks re-
ceipts show a decrease of about five hun
dred compared with last week and nearly
1000 compared with the same week year
ago. while the total far this year is
about seven hundred larger than the same
period last year For the most part the
market this week has been very unsatis-
factory to statesmen and owners but in
keeping with the unnatural condition of
business in all other markets. The great
scarcity of strictly desirable stock had
much to dc with making a dull trade, but
there was really no urgent demand from
any source or for any kind. Prices were
very irregular but at the close of the week
sales in nearly all lines were on a basis
of at least 25c lower prices than current
at the close of last week Quotations:
