Large Commission Firm at Stock Yards
Writes About Yesterdays Markets.
Chicago, Jan. 3.-Receipts of cattle or
Thursday were TO- SEQ and the market
ruled practically steady. The extreme
top was again 7.75 per hundred weight,
this price being paid for a load of very
choice Hereford yearlinss averaging
/ 355 pounds. Practically all grades of
steers row show an advance over last
week of 80 to 40 cents per hundred, the
medium grade of steers participating
quite as much as the good cattle in the
upward trend of values this week. Cows
and heifers are generally 10 to 10 cents
higher thar a week ago, while the cam
ring class are a little lower. We will
probably have liberal receipts of cattle
here next Monday as a result of this adj
vance, but believe desirable fat steers
will be in demand.
The run of hogs was 10000 Thursday.
The market ruled steady to a shade cas-
Ter, but showed activity and closed COM
paratively firm. The extreme top was
6.1O, with the bulk of the good hogs SELL
ing at 6.25 to $50 per hundred.
Receipts of sheep Thursday were 49,
600 head and the market ruled firm,
with prices strong to 10 cents higher. A
small lot of extra prime lambs sold as
high as Clio, with a good many lots at
SIS to SEQ per hundred. Mexican year.
lings sold at 500 and some good South
Dakota yearlings brought 5.15, while
good fat, heavy export sheep sold at 4.50
per hundred.
