Strike Affects Stock Market.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
June is. = Cattle receipts were
light again today and were cxclns-
lively Southern cattle. However
the labor troubles in the packing
houses are settled and commission
men have kept the wires hot for
some time wiring shippers of the
situation here and liberal receipts
are expected for the rest of the
week with plenty in sight for the
market. The demand has re-
turned and choice beef cattle, in
fact all kinds of beef cattle, are
wanted on this market. The pri.
ces are fully steady with week
ago and the market is in shnpe TO
take all the cattle that can come
this way. Now that pll danger of
n strike is over and the unions
have expressed a desire to assist
in boilding up the market, the To-
cal pnckers are going after bust
ness in earnest. They see good
outlook for grass cattle for this
market and fair supply of hogs,
and there seems to be no good rea-
son why they should not fight for
the local trade. The movement
of Southern cattle will he heavy
for the rest of the month rs there
are about $4,000 head expected
and in sight for the balance of
this month, 50 receipts will show
up very favorably with last month.
Railroads are in shape again for
handling the cattle without delay
and reports from the south are To
the effect that large number of
cars will be loaded this week and
there are II number of trains on
the way To arrive the latter part
of the week. Fair receipts of fat
cattle are expected for this market
tomorrow and the buyers are rendy
for them when they arrive. There
is report that some Arizona fat
cattle are headed this way. This
market used to draw trains of good
alfalfa cattle from that section,
but has not for several years until
lately.
There were no receipts of hogs
today, but shippers have been
wired of changed conditions here
aud shipments are expected TO ar
rive for the market tomorrow.
The Omaha market closed at 81 40
for the top, which represents
about the top of this market. The
demand is strong and buyers will
pay close to the top for good hogs.
