UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS,
June 22-Cattle-Receipts. 100; shipments
none. The receipts of cattle this week have
been of fair volume showing a decrease OF
only about 800 compared with last week and
an increase of $50 over the same week
year ago. The receipts thus far this year
are over 2l.O0O larger than the same period
last year. The week opened with indica-
lions favoring moderate supplies and later
with continued steady demand prices
were maintained, Notwithstanding other
markets were lower All through the week
the supplies were just about equal to the
requirements of the trade. and there was
very little fiuctuation in prices. There was
a tendency toward weakness in the market
for grass-fed cattle at the close of the
week, but final sales did not show much
change in prices. Taken a whole, the
market this week has been very satisfac-
tory and probably better than expected,
considering the condition of the trade else
where at the beginning of the week. The
highest price for steers was $50 and sew
eral loads were good enough TO bring 500
and upwards. The class of steers selling
between So and s.. so show the least strength
and ordinary stockers were the most neg
lected. The extreme price for heifers this
week was 50 and for cows A.6O. The re-
ceipts to-day were about as large as eX-
pected at this time in the week, and while
there was no urgent inquiry from any
source the offerings all changed hands and
sales were considered steady compared
with yesterday. Missouri steers OF fair
quality and flesh averaging LOO lbs sold
at $50, heifers high 81 So and cows as
high as S4.25. The week closed with the
market in a reasonably healthy condition,
and the outlook for the best cattle is by no
means discouraging Quotations:
