Omaha daily bee., 1901-01-17
The disposition OF the days receipts was
as follows. each buyer purchasing the num-
ber of head indicated;

CATTLE-There were not as many cattle
on sale today yesterday, and, as the
demand on the part of packers was In
good shape, the market was fairly active
and prices steady to strong all around
There was something over twenty-five
cars OF beef steers on sale today and pack
ers took hold In good shape and bought
up what vas offered in good season at
prices fully steady with yesterday In some
cases where the cattle Just suited the buy
ers they may have paid little stronger
prices. Even the less desirable kinds.
however. moved more readily than they
did yesterday and sellers found little diff
fculty In getting good steady prices for all
their holdings.
The COW market was also in better shape
today than II was yesterday Buyers were
all looking for supplies and the thirty-five
cars on sale were none too many to fill their
orders. The situation could best be de-
scribed by calling II a good steady, active
market, though In some cases sales were
made that looked a little better. Owing
TO the good demand the pens were cleared
at an early hour
Bulls, calves and stays did not show much
of any change today, though II was easier
to dispose of them at satisfactory prices
than II was yesterday.
There were hardly enough stock cattle
here today to make market The demand
from the country for good stun is in fairly
good shape and yard traders have no great
number Of cattle on hand. Owing to the
light receipts this morning those that were
to strong prices. Representative sales:

Wool Market.

BOSTON. Jan. l6.--Thc American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow OF
the wool trade The last week in the wool
trade has been about as quiet as possible,
There has been no material increase in
business here. Mills have now not shown
any great tendency TO come around To the
dealers terms and on his part the dealer
feels that he is not so crushed that he must
come to the buyer and beg him to rclirye
him of his loed. An impression has gone
around that the American Wooden company
has been making .good-sized and frequent
purchases of wool since January |. some
dealers estimating the company's purchases
In the millions. one report has been cur
rent around the market that Loo, 900 pounds
changed hands last week with the combi-
nation as the purchasers. This can he de-
med In the strongest terms and on the best
authority. The American Wooden company
some time ago. and bought II for delivery
after January l. hence IT is easy to see
siderable quantity of late. They have been
taxing up, not buying up. u considerable
quantity Of wool The fact is that tho
