THE LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Latest Quotations from South omana
and Kansas City.

CATTLE-The receipts or western
cattle continued heavy but the demand
seemed TO be equal to the occasion, anu
as a result there was very little change
in the market. The good cattle or all
kinds met with ready sale, while the
commoner grades were neglected n
| hard TO dispose of at what seemed 10
be satisfactory prices. There were q
few punches OF cornfed steers In the
/ yards. and as high as $3.50 was paid.
The sales that were made looked just
about steady with other sales that have
been made of late.
The cow market was fairly active, par
tlcularly on the more desirable kinds
and just about steady prices were paid all
around. There has been a pretty good
demand for Gamers for the last few
days, but of course prices are low, as
supplies have been very heavy for some
little time.
Bulls, veal calves and stays sold In just
about the same notches as they did yes
terday.
The stocker and feeder trade continued
active on the better classes and slow ON
the common kinds. The demand from
the country was in pretty good shape and
the good heavy cattle and also the lighter
weights showing quality moved quite
freely.
Western range steers that were good
enough for killers commanded steady
prices and the market was fairly active
on the more desirable kinds The pro-
portion of killers was not at all large,
so that packers had little chance to
pound values. Feeder steers that were
at all desirable also sold freely at steady
prices, with the common kinds dull.
hOGS-There were more hogs In sight
than for some time past and as the mar
ket at Chicago slumped off 20Q25c prices
here of course took a drop. The mar
ket opened virtually 15c lower han yes
terday, though in some cases ligh5 weight
hogs of good quality did not sell much
over a dime lower. The bulk of the
sales went from $3.50 to $7.55. Choice
lightweight hogs sold mostly from $3.50
TO SL-65, while the heavy packers sold
from $3.50 down. 1t was not a very
active market for packers We're very
bearish.
