Very Little Choice Butcher
Stock on Sale.
Hogs Declined EARLY, but Made Par.
tial Recoveries Later in
the Week.

week show about 11,ooo head, against 15,4oo
last week and for the
week and SO head for the same week a year
ago. The heavy end of the cattle received have
been Westerns with a fair proportion on sale
here. Theree has been decided scarcity of
good to choice butcher cattle, hardly hoof on
sale all week The common to fair kinds have,
however, been more than plentiful and prices
are 25@35c. lower OH these. Veals are fat
Zoe lower than last weeks close and soc under
the prices of ten days ago. The slump in
butcher cattle has caused a drop In prices on on
the common and native feeders a fiat 2oc
lower. Occasional punches of choice stock cat
tie have sold steady with last week but the
this week has been common and has sold at
prices 15@25c lower. There has been fair
bulls are are going to feeders and are selling about
steady. Good nilch cows are fully steady and
ready sale, common COWS slow and weak nm
Hog receipts for the week total about 1000,
against $500 last week and 9,4O0 for the corre-
spending week year ago. The market slumped
badly the first OF the week but has recovered
supply continues and the trade is at sea as to
the exact situation. 1t was expected that ship
of October, but as yet there are no indications
of increased, receipts. The belief is becoming
more general that there are less less hogs hog In the
will be lucky to hold the gain that total re-
ce1pts for the year now show. South st. Paul is
about the only important market in the country
Sheep receipts are expected to reach 10000
head before the close of business to-day. Re-
ceipts last week were 1000 head and a year
ago 1900 mead. The bulk Of the stun that
came here was billed east. The trade has been
1ty stock and feeding stuff shows slight de-
f witt % be last ee eq nd Is su moy stu
it is different story. This class is very slow
and weak.
